or anything which they could secure on
credit. They would operate under the
name of some company well known In
the business world, and, In ordering
goods to the value of thousands of dol
lars, would gtve commercial agents

received the bogus company would
transfer the consignments to a ware
house and then ship them to New Tork
where they wer disposed -of through a
"fence" - which has baffled the Inspect

Instead of between here and Chinook,

this fact strengthens the belief that
the road Is to be built at once. It Is
the belief that the Une from the South j
Bend line o North Beach Is to be built
prior to the proposed line down thej
north bank of the Columbia which has I
been surveyed. The line will cross the j
famous Nasel'and Bear river timber i
belts which are heavily stocked with !
a Bne grade of fir timber. The road!
will come across to the river at Colum- j
bia and down the river to strike Ilwaco :
and tap North Beach to handle the
timber ofthe Intermediate territory
and passenger traffic to the beach. It
is a well-known fact In ra'lrood cir
cles that the Northarn Pacific contem
plated building this line years ago
when the line was built to Southland.
The coming on of the hard times stop
ped the line at South Ben 1 and nothing
until now has ben done toward reviv
ing the old project.. Business Is in
creasing In activity here as a result of
the prospect of the coming road.

GOVERNOR IN A QUANDARY.
. Salem, Sept. 24. (Special) (lovernor
Chamberlain Is very much perplexed
over the appointment of members of
the military board to succeed the mem
bers of th board as It now stands.
There is no lack of applications for the
places, wh'ch are honorary but the
governor It seems cannot decide whom
to select from among the many appli
cants. The positions upon the board
which he will have to fill are those oc
cupied by the follow Ing members of the
present board: Brigadier-General
Charles F. Beobe, Surgeon-General A.
B. Glllls. Inspector-General James
Jackson, Commissary General 0. M.
Dunne, and Judge-Advocate-General S.
C. Spencer. The adjutant-general Is
also Included on this board, but the
early- resignation of Adjutant-General
Gantenbein, to accept the colonelshlp
Of the Third Infantry, Oregon national
