covery, I believe, and the critical stage
fs past"
The run of 484 miles In eleven hours
and a hslf Is not remarkable generally,
but the Portland-Mullan run is one of
the hardest on the system and to make
any time at all a special train la needed.
The chief trouble Is that several
changes and waits have to be made
and endured en the Journey. The firet
run of 187 miles from Portland to
Umatilla is on the main line, then
change is made. The next run Is
Tekoa, over the Spokane branch, a dls
tance of 197 miles, then cars are
changed again and the tourist tackles
the Burke branch and rides to Wallace,
a distance of 80 miles. The. final spurt
Is from Wallace to Mullan, and a stub
train is used for this last ten miles o
track. With good luck a traveler can
reach Mullan in twice the time the spe
cial took, but with the usual luck in
not making connections he will be in
Mullan several hours later.
Those who have attended the dinners
given by the American- Patriotic club
and heard the addresses will be pleased
to know that the executive committee
has decided to have this year's dinner

lowing notice. has Just been sent out by
the secretary:

is suffering from the spring fever. They
also fear that the "kanga" has been
overworked during the past few weeks,
and that the release of Ooode, the negro

As the words of the old chorus floated
out from behind the bars, the sharp ear
of the chief heard the question. He
looked lovingly over tne record of the
night's work of his blue-coats. "Ah me,
no robbers were arrested last night,"
he sighed. Something like tears seemed
to come to the eyes of the kangaroo
court's chief Justice. But the tears may
have only been dewdrops that he had
not brushed off.
"Well, someone must go," thought the
self-appointed Judge, "and so If this
man has hard hands he will be freed."

Information was received this morn

corps of engineers, that the bid of Robert
Wakefield of this city had been accepted
for removing rock from the submerged
reefs, small islands and main shore line
of the , Three Mile rapids, Columbia
liver, Oregon and Washington. The ac
ceptance of the bid is preliminary to the
huge undertaking of the government to
construct the Dalles-Celllo canal.
Wakefield's bid' was approximately
8150,000 for completing the work of re
moving rock from the river. Bids were
opened at the local offices of tha gov
ernment Engineering department March
z? ana were rorwaroed to the war da-
partment at Washington. There were
a number of bids from leading contrac
tors of various . parts of - the country.
I Wakefield's bid, however, was the lowest
land regarded as the best Accordingly
a recommendation for Its acceptance was
sent to Washington. Major Langfitt
today was notified that the recommenda
tion had been acted Upon and the bid
accepted.
When begun, the work involved in the
contract will be the first active con
struction on the Celllo canal. The work
of removing the rock from the Three
Mile rapids is to be begun as soon as
a few minor details In connection with
the contract are completed. It, is claimed
that it will be pushed as rapidly as pos
