An Item from The Dalles Times-Mountaineer calling the attention of the Port land Chamber of Commerce to the faot that the most natural route to the In terior la from The Dal lea to the mouth ef the De Chutes Klver. then up the stream to some point In Crook County, has been referred to W A. Mears. secre tary of the transportation committee of the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Mears Mid: "From the viewpoint of the cltlsens of that part of the territory which the road up the De Chutes River would tap, the above scheme Ts certainly a very food: one, but the poor fellow who put his money Into It would In a short time feel otherwise, because this would be nothing more nor less than paralleling the Una of the Columbia Southern RaU- ' road. The Portland Chamber of Com- ' Tnerce Is extremely anxious to open up new territory, but until the country be comes a lltUe more inhabited than la the Das Chutes country. It would not be good policy, from a financial standpoint, to build up that river. But the eltlsen of The Dalles and those along the line Of the proposed road must not think that because it la not a good financial scheme Just now that It Is a foregone conclusion that the railroad will not be built., Xay Briar About Boards. It la barely possible that the present efforts of the Chamber of Commerce to ward the purchase of the Columbia Southern by the O. R. N. Co., or the permission of the Q. R, A N. Co. to ex tend the Columbia Southern, may not ' bring about the desired result It would not at all be a matter of surprise to see either on or the other of the two railroads parallel to the Columbia South ern; that la. If Mr. Harrtman will not gtv his consent to the extension of the Colombia Southern. It Is not at all Im probable that the state of public opinion lit this city would be such that some one Should build this road and extend It down Into the territory which we now want the Columbia Southern to build into. I Bo not make this assertion as a fact, nor say that it la at present within the probabilities, but I do say that it Is possible and" events might occur which wonld It probable.' The clipping referred to Is as follows: "Portland is putting forth a eommend ' able effort to secure the trade of Central and Eastern Oregon, or perhaps It would : be more nearly correct to say. that It is endeavoring to prevent the trade of Cen tral Oregon getting away, by being di verted to San Francisco. The probabil ity of a road being built north through Lake and Klamath Counties into Crook . has caused Portland merchants to be come alarmed, and the Chamber of Commerce has the past few months been considering means whereby the Corumbi-Southern can be extended further south, or If not how spme other road can be projected leading from the Columbia River Into the Interior. "Because of the fact that the Columbia Southern Is already constructed for a distance of 10 miles Into the Interior, it extension to the south Is meeting with much favor, and financial aid has been offered to complete the road to Bend. .

"But the most natural route and the one that will some time be adopted Is from The Dalles to the mouth of the De Chutes River, then up the stream to ems Doint in Crook Cnuntv Thia would bo a water-lined route, one over wnicn trame oouia do handled at the minimum cost wnlle Portland and nearlv everv other uncttnn la innirin to ward Eastern Oregon as the coming great wneat ana jive stock producing section of the Northwest, this route for a, railroad should not be lost sight of.

As stated In yesterday's Issue of The Journal, the rumor that gained some headway In Portland that the St. Louis Fair would be postponed to 1906 has no foundation. It was -not believed by those who heard it, but further evidence of Its absurdity Is seen from the follow ing telegram from Secretary Stevens of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, re ceived by President Corbett Of 'the Lewis and Clark Fair last night: ,' "President Francis authorizes- most positive and unqualified statement .that Louisiana Purchase Exposition will not be postponed till 1905. Over $12,000,000 obligated on contracts for 1904 World's Fair could not be postponed If there was Such desire, and there is no desire." Further than this, the St." Louis Fair cannot be postponed unless by an- act of Congress. This is altogether Impossible. Another proof of the absurdity of tho rumor is the fact that the exbihitors at the World's 'Fair are hot obliged to make displays in 1905. as their contracts make 1904 as .the year of the Exposition, IDAHO CROP OUILOOL A.

Charles Valkers is proving himself to be a very elusive man. Though the 11 m! a r. f m.,av.. Vn.tl . i . 1 I kv.'.'.i v. ,,-ijf nuiuiwcbi cny nave i hunted for him more than one month, he has evaded them all. and still Is at 11b j erty. He is wanted for the embezzle I mont of $S from the Travis Wood Com pany. He is known to have gone from this city to Seattle, and the police felt sure that they would be able to capture him at the People's Theatre there, as he is known to have been infatuated with a variety actress by the name of Gert rude Marshall. She was doing a stunt at tbe theatre, and it was supposed- he would go there to meet her. However, he was too smooth, and failed to appear. It is now thought that Valkers and the woman have been traveling through the country together, and that one keeps the other posted when the officers of the law are on the trail. Chief of Detec tives Simmons is of the opinion that Valkers has gone East and that he will elude-the officers of this section of the country henceforth, at least until .the present trouble has blown over. "Was Stamper Here. ValkerB was a comparative stranger in the city when he was first employed by the Travis Wood Company. He came to the manager asking for work. He appeared willing to accept any hind of employment,- and was accepted as a handy man about the yards. He showed adaptability, and was advanced until at last he occupied the position of book keeper. This gavfe him the opportunity to turn just such a trick as he is alleged to have turned. He was intrusted with funds, large and small. The woman In the case is a variety actress,, and from Information In tho hands of the police it seems that she and Valkers' knew each other before they came to Portland. While In this city the woman did a turn in one of the North End variety theatres. She is said to be a very pretty woman, though some what the worse for dissipation. Valk ra Is alleged to have bought wine of rare vintage for her on divers and sun dry occasions, and It is related that ho spent much of his spare time In her company. . . My to Seattle. Soon after she went to Seattle to do a stunt If Cohsldlne's resort, Valkers la alleged to have embenled the $98. He then skipped out for the Queen City for tho purpose of joining his friend.

Gtxido Bcgglacl, the Explorer, Slain Indians.' NEW YORK. March II. The news has just come from Paraguay, that the dis tlnguished ethnologist. Outdo Bogglanl of Italy, has boon murdered by tho In diana of tho Chaco Boreal, west of Para guay. A native Of Lombardy, where ho was educated, he went to Paraguay years ago because ho regarded that country as very important field for ethnological study. His publications containing tbe results of his ethnological and linguistic studies among tho Chamaoocos, Lenguaa, Borosaa and other Indian tribes have won for him a high reputation In the learned world. All hla writings have been based upon his own observations, and bo lived for years among the various Indian tribes In' order to acquire a mi nuto knowledge of their character, cus toms and language. One branch of tbo great tribe of the Chamaoocos . live ' not far from the Bo livian boundary, and on account of their unfriendliness no White man has ever boon among thsm. Bogglanl believed that his Intimate acq ual nana with. number of tribes and his familiarity with tho language of tho Ohamacocos would enable him to .maintain pleasant rela tions with this almost unknown branch of tho tribe. - With perfect confidence that ha would bo suooossful ho fitted out a small expo dltlon, consisting of only six Chamaoocos Indian of tho tribal branch with which ho waa well acquainted, and hi servant. Oavllan, a Paraguayan. He ' left Para guay late In ltoi for hla now field of research. ' Five day after b sot out from Aocun don b sent Oalllan back for some mora horses and other supplies and awaited hi return on tho shore of a largo lake. Hla servant rejoined htm soon after and this waa the last that was heard of the party alive- Several search parties were sent out last summer when it began to be feared that disaster had Overtaken the expedi tion. Nothing waa learned, however, un til tho Cancto searoh party returned with the skeleton of the two murdered white men of the exploring expedition. They found an Indian, who told them that Bogglanl Bavllan and one of the Indiana had been murdered by the Ctuunacoco. After month of search they found a skeleton which, they were told, waa that of the European leader. though It was discovered later that it waa the remain of hi servant, Oavllan. A little later they recovered the re mains of the Ill-fated explorer, and learn ed that he had met his death by being struck on the head with a club, and that his skull had then boon broken to pieces. and that all his supplies had been stolen. Nothing was recovered except a camera. a few dozen protographle plates and some Italian and South American newspapers. Cancio brought back to Ascunclon a prisoner who declared that the massacre had been planned by both branches of the Chamacocos tribe., and that tbey were actuated solely by a desire to ob tain possession of certain objects that were a part of the explorer's equipment No part of the world of so small an ex tent has witnessed the massacre of so many men engaged In exploration In re cent years as this northern part of the Chaco. The most distinguished names in this fatal list are those of Dr. Creveaux and Ramon Ltsta, but It Includes many others, who were members of various ex pcditlons. It was reported a while ago that the Argentine explorer Ibarreta had also been killed by these Indians, but the latest Information ' concerning him Is that the natives are holding him a prls oner. It Is not known whether this news is authentic, for the expedition sent out to rescue him has not yet returned. I0JOIM1 Passenger 'Business Is ' Climbing Higher G. A. R.

Rail road passenger departments are working they have never worked before to prepare themselves In the face of the Immense business that can already be aeen in the not far distant future.

This in itself would, tt is urged, prove sufficient to Increase tho total of travel toward the Pacific, but this Is not all. Agents claim there will be greater In ducements offered to tourists during l0l than ever In the past This will mean additional travel by pleasure hunters, by far the larger percentage of which 1 first class. Then the work of advertising and Im migration agents has been more dili gent, and the amount of descriptive lit erature sent East has been larger and of a higher grade.
