WORK COVERS WIDE RANGE
On North Bank and Electric Lines
Many Notable Improvements
Hare Been Made In Ore
gon and Washington.
In the last 12 months the North
Bank railroad, and the Hill lines in
Oregon and Washington have expend
ed more than $8,000,000 in improve
ments and betterments. This state
ment has Just been prepared to cover
the fiscal, year ending June 30. For
the first six months of the present
year the expenditures have totaled
more than $4,000,000.
In this report are included the North
Bank road between Portland and Spo-
kane and the division to Astoria and
'Clatsop Beach points, Oregon Trunk
railway, Oregon Electric railway. Spo
ikane & Inland Empire system. Pacific
A Eastern railway. The Dalles, Port
land & Astoria Navigation Company
and the United Railways.
Remarkable progressive development
is shown by these figures on the part
of the Hill lines in Oregon and Wash
ington and represent in the grand
total of expenditures many betterments
to the North Bank line to Spokane, im
provements to the Oregon Trunk ex
tending into Central Oregon and the
' extension of the Oregon Electric from
6alem to Eugene, besides improvements
ito the United Railways, the Hill elect
ric line that has recently opened the
North Tualatin Valley country.
Luce Contracts I'nder Way.
At present the company is greatly
Improving its Portland-Spokane line
and several large contracts are under
way. The fill in the trestle over the
Little White Salmon River Is costing
$85,000. This work is in progress near
Cooks station. The military reserva
tion bridges near Vancouver are being
filled at a cost of $50,000. A fill in the
bridge over the White Salmon River is
costing $31,000. One of the largest
contracts of this kind is the fill in
the Sprague Gulch tunnel at a cost of
more than $400,000. Another large
contract is the lining of the Kablotus
tunnel, to cost $78,000. The L.yle
trestle fill will cost $100,000.
Probably one of the most important
betterments to the North Bank road
is the reduction of the only seven
degree curve to three degrees to con
form with the established curvature of
the road for its entire length. This
will enable the company to operate its
trains at fast speed without reduction
at this point. The work Is in progress
near Cascades. Three-degree curva
tures make it possible for companies
to operate long trains at fast speed
with the greatest degree of comfort for
passengers, a feature in modern rail-
Is also an established three-degree
curvature electric road, on steam road
standards.
Improvements at Spokane.
On the Spokane & Inland Empire
system a number of big improvements
are under way. The new line on
North Adams street. Spokane, repre
sents an expenditure of $25,000. The
Post-street l!n In the same city cost
$12,000, and other large items bring the
total cost of Improvements for this
spoke in the hub of the Hill system
In Oregon and Washington to more
than $250,000 since January 1, 1912.
Rapid progress Is being made on the
extension of the Oregon Electric be
tween Albany and Eugene. Regular
service has been maintained since July
4 on the Portland-Salem-Albany line.
When the service is inaugurated to
Eugene the Oregon Electric will repre
sent a total Investment of $4,500,000.
Eugene business men are now making
preparations to welcome the first train
over the electric line and propose to
hold even a greater celebration than
did Albany when the first official
train reached that city Independence
day. New stations are to be erected at
both Albany and Eugene. Plans for
the Albany structure call for a build
ing to cost more than $15,000. The
Eugene depot will cost $20,000. The
freight, passenger and express facilities
will be ample for years to come.
Plana Ready for Portland.
With plans already announced for
the East Side terminals and the Union
Depot matter likely to be settled In the
near future, further expenditures by
the Hill lines for betterments in Port
land, and Oregon and Washington in
general, will be large. The work now
In progress on the Hill system in the
two states is in keeping with the policy
of the company to provide and main
tain the most modern railroad possible.
This means new extensions, additional
equipment to meet increase in traffic,
and such improvements and better
ments as will keep the Hill roads In line
with the rapid progress of the country
which they serve.
With the opening of the line to Eu
gene this Fall, and with service al
ready given the district between Port'
land and Albany, the electric service to
the Willamette alley, as inaugurated
by the Hill lines on the initiative of
James J. Hill, has provided a most
necessary adjunct to the intensive ag
riculture for which the Willamette
Valley is famous. It has given fast and
frequent trains for people and products,
brought the country closer to the city
and given the city the benefits of the
country, the result of electric transpor
tation, according to railroad men who
have given the question much study In
recent years.

APRICOT BRANCH, 18 INCHES LONG, BROKEN FROM S'S-YEAR-
OLD TREE.
The above branch was brought to Portland by Dr. J. R. Cardwell,
who has just returned from Sundale, near The Dalles. The fruit is
firm and of best quality and on the little branch were 70 apricots.
Dr. Cardwell is one of the oldest planters in that section and has a
flourishing orchard on his tract. The crop there is exceptionally heavy,
3 -year-old trees bearing as much as 100 pounds of fruit.
Another product of the section is grapes. The fruit clusters on
the vines in bunches weighing nine pounds each. The best thriving
variety was imported from Europe.

Project Upon Arrival.
Fugitive Must Return to Ohio.
Clyde Curran, formerly a superin
tendent of construction In the employ
of a contracting firm at Norwood,
Ohio, was arrested yesterday by the
Burns Detective Agency on a charge
of being a fugitive from justice, and
was turned over to the police. Curran,
who is of clean-cut appearance, was
discovered in a lodging house at Third
and Pine streets, where he has been
living with his wife. It is charged
against him that while at Norwood he
deposited a forged check in the First
National Bank of Norwood to the
amount of $450. and thereafter pro
ceeded to draw checks In his own namt
on the bank, finally drawing the entire
amount of the worthless check in this
way. Norwood admitted his identity.
An officer is on the way from Cincin
nati to take him back.
Snecial machinery costing between
$75,000 and $100,000 is on the way from
the East for use in the construction of
the dam and rower plant of the North
western Electric Company on the White
Salmon River. Virtually all the costly
preliminary work on the project nas
been completed and work on the dam
itself will begin as soon as. me ma
chlnery can be Installed.
The preliminary work has included
the driving of four tunnels and the
building of a wooden flume 800 feet
long. In which the entire flow of the
White Salmon River will be carried
past the site of the dam during its
construction. Workmen are now put-
tlna- in a cofferdam across the stream
at the upper end of the flume. The
force of the torrent against this cof
ferdam will raise the water nearly six
feet high so that It can run into the
mouth of the flume.
One of the pieces of machinery for
which a special order had to be placed
In the East is a huge concrete mixer
that can turn out 200 tons of concrete
a day. Six steam hoisting engines and
a rock crusher are also on the way,
The rock crusher wrll provide all the
sand and crushed rock necessary in
the dam work. The 30.000 tons of this
material required will be quarried out
of a cliff 400 feet above the aim,
crushed, automatically screened and as
sorted into sires and dropped to the
concrete mixer by gravity.
Another expensive piece of machinery
Is an auxiliary electric plant that will
be used In furnishing electrical power
needed In the construction work. Parts
of this plant are now on the ground
and set up. It will be situated at the
lower end of the flume and will gen
erate 300 horsepower. The rock crush
er, concrete mixer and other machinery
will be run by electricity.
As the railroad station at Underwood
is three miles from the dam. how to
transDort this heavy machinery, some
pieces of which weigh several tons, up
to the dam has presented a stiff prob
lem. It has been met by constructing a
special roadway for part of the way
and widening and improving tne pres
ent mid in other places. Between 25
and 30 teams are now employed on this
work.
The dam and power plant are to be
completed and ready for use on Jan
uary 1, 1913. Twenty thousand horse
power will be generated. With the
completion of this plant, work will be
ein on another plant on the Klickitat
River, from which the Northwestern
Electric Company will get 30,000 add!
tional horsepower.
Roads to 'Carry Exhibits Tree,
SALEM. Or, July 27. (Special.) The
Southern Pacific has forwarded to Su
perintendent Alderman rules to govern
the carrying of exhibits to and from
the State Fair, that road agreeing to
carry such exhibits for children's In
dustrial contests free. The Oregon
Electric and the United Railways have
also agreed to take the same attitude
and will carry such exhibits free.
WARNINGS NOT HEEDED
Alderson Fined $100 for Working
Horses Pronounced Vnfit.
For working a team Of horses, after
lepeated warnings by himself, accord
ing tn the testimony of Humane Offi
cer Crate, W. S. Alderson, driver of an
ice wagon, was fined $100 by Judge
Taswell, In the Municipal Court yes-
Sergeant Crate testified that the
horses had sores on their shoulders, and
that their physical condition was so
poor they were not in shape to work.
Some time ago Alderson was before
the court for working the horses, and
at that time hs was warned not to
work them until they were In better
condition. Despite the-warning, it is
said he worked them, and when cau
tioned b- the humane office became de-
""lderson, who pleaded his own case,
explained that he did not work thi
horses regularly, but used them only
occasionally, when necessary to give
other torses used by him a rest. He
also said his only object was to keep
them in condition.
"Why, that team'll pull a load of Ice
wun three ton on it, declared he.
"No it won't," retorted Special Prose
cutor Robert Tucker.
"I don't mean I'll make it do It, but
I mean It can do it," Alderson said.
He declared that he kept the horses
in oest condition, and that their con
dition was not aggravated.
When found guilty by the court, he
asked that the fine be made large
enough to permit him to appeal the
case, and a fine of $100 was Imposed.
CONTROL BOARD MENACED
Petition to Transfer Water Rights
Cases Threatens Body's Use.
SALEM. Or., July 27. (Special.)
Should It be determined as the re
sult of a petition which has been filed
with the State Engineer that the ques
tion of adjudication of water rights
may be transferred from the state
courts or the board of control to the
federal courts. It will result in prac
tically doing away with the efficiency
of the board of control.
Hearing as to water rights on the
Sylvies River has been set for August
26. No provision is made in the state
law for the Federal court to assume
jurisdiction, but the Pacific Livestock
Company, of San Francisco, declaring
itself to be a foreign corporation, has
filed a petition asking for a transfer
to those courts.
Inasmuch as foreign owners have
water rights on practically every
stream in the state, should the peti
tion be granted and the contention of
the company hold good, it would give
the possibility of throwing practicallv
all water right disputes into the Fed
eral courts. It is probable the en
gineer will deny the petition and com
pel the company to secure an injunc
tion which will take the expense from
the settlers and throw it onto the com
pany and the state.
People Are Either Terrified o
Amused at Mention of Rabies,
. Says Dr. White, and Men
ace Is Not to Be Ignored.
'Every describable and indescribable
antic of almost every dog in Portland
has been reported at this office today,"
said Dr. Calvin & White, of the State
Board of Health, yesterday, discussing
the present epidemic of rabies which
Is a matter of anxiety to people all
over the city.
Two new remediea have been
received already at the office and a
wire arrived from the Hygienic Labor
atory of the United States, Public
Health Office in Washington, D. C,
during the course of the day, in which
it was stated that four additional
remedies, as yet untried here, were be
ing sent, with the announcement that
all demands' for supply of material in
connection with the outbreak could be
supplied immediately.
While large numbers of people are
seriously alarmed, others seem to
think that rabies is nothing serious.
or else they show a lamentable ignor
ance on the subject," said Dr. White.
One case, an 8-year-old boy named
Smith, living at 75 North Thirteenth
street, who was bitten on the uppe
lip by a collie, was not reported until
today, though the boy was bitten
Wednesday."
Wide Area Affected.
As a result of calls from all direc
tlons, inspection visits were paid to
the corner of Twenty-third and Wash
ington streets, to Mount Tabor and to
Alberta street district, a range suffl
clently wide to show the difflcultie
to be encountered in case the outbreak
spreads.
In connection with the possibility of
an epidemic. Dr. White mentioned the
little Spits dog that died. It had two
other companions constantly with it.
These in all probability have been in
fected, but they are now roaming the
streets and no one knows where they
may go.
"As for the idea of graft In the
purchase of muzzles for dogs, that I
too ridiculous to be taken seriously, if
given a moment s consideration, con-
tlnued Dr. White. "People can buy
their muzzles where they like, for
something in the neighborhood of 5
cents, and are not compelled to muzzle
their dogs when on a string or leash.
Therefore put the number of muzzles
to be bought, say at 600, or even 1000,
divide the higher sum of $500 between
the various hardware companies, even
allowing half to the company alleged
to have made a rerent investment In
muzzles, and then any one who can
find a munificent profit is a marvel.
They might just as well forbid a bit
for horses on the ground of graft."
Pit Bulldog Had Infection.
Professor E. F. Pernot, bacteriolo
gist to the Board of Health, found
negri bodies not only in the brain 'of
the pit bulldog that was killed
cently, but also in the scrapings from
the teeth, and the water from the 'eye.
He had two marvelous photograph
of the animal, one showing the curiou
snarl on the upper face of the animal,
which gives rise to the use of the word
"mad." The other reproduced a char
acteristic appearance after convulsion,
Dirt and rubbish is collected in the
mouth and the lnclsory teeth had bit
ten into the tongue.

ers have never been well organized
and the export trade has been handled
in the past by the individual manu
facturers or through brokers. We be
lieve that with a general selling agency
we will be able to get better results
as well as to extend the market for
lumber in foreign countries. It Is ex

The committee has discussed the plan
of establishing representatives in all
the lumber markets of the world where
Douglas fir is known and finds a sale.
The effect of the opening of the Pana-
ma Canal, it Is agreed, will be bene
ficial to the lumbering industry of the
Pacific Coast, and it is probable that
recommendations will be made that the
Droposed organization prepare for new
business expected through that chan
nel.
The most important foreign markets
at present for Douglas fir are in tne
Orient. Australia, New Zealand, South
America, Africa. Japan and Europe. In
addition to the foreign trade, large
quantities of lumber are shipped from
the tidewater milts in Oregon and
Washington to California.
