'Increased revenue to the 'line operating

... The . Capltat City will be operated
mainly aa a freighter, although shs will
have a license for carrying passengers.
For the past three weeks a large forct
of mechanics has been employsd over
hauling her machinery and getting the
veeeel Into ahape for business. Since
her arrival from the north sua lias been
painted and tidied up in such a manner
that she hardly looks like the same boat
She will be in command of Captain
Alden, formerly master of the Ill-fated
Regulator, and Fred Smith will have
charge of her engine-room,
.The Pallet City had to be laid up
until a new abaft could be made for
her. During her Idleness the steamer
Undine of the Kamm fleet has been
taking her run. The latter will now be
turned over to her owners, who will
probably start her out once, more on
the Portland-Vancouver route. The
Dalles City will run through to The
Dallas, earrvlna- both freight and pas

of all of tha traffic. Fpr the past two

Itallana signed to make the voyage in
order to visit their old ' home near
Genoa, for which port the Balmore will
sail. By holding out a similar Induce
ment to others, it Is said there is no
doubt that a couple more Italians can
be employed to make the trip.
C. Moroco, an able seaman who de
serted from the Balmore shortly after
her arrival in the harbor and waa aub
aequently captured and - placed In - the
eounty jail for safekeeping, was taken

the following atatement:.
"We are going to build the road re
gardless of plana of any other eompany.
This has been -decided by the majority
of the-stockholders of ths Wallula Pa
cific, who reside In the east. 'The Wal
lula Paclfio and the Columbia Valley
are practically one and the earns com
pany. . We will have a railroad down
the north bank despite reports to the
contrary, and 1 all - talk of the Wallula
Pacific being a paper railroad will be
disproved In due time." '

"Who are the eastern backer a of ths
eompany T" was aaked.
"It wouldn t do tha public any good
to know that," 'he replied. - "They are
New Tork men. We will announce their
aameo letsr.' . . -.-
L, Oerllnger, president of both com
panies, la equally- noncommittal as -to
the Identity . of hla associates. It has
bees repeatedly Intimated that the Wal
lula Paclfio project waa a Harrlman
undertaking, organised for ths purpose
of obstructing the building of the north
bank line of the Hill roads from Ken-
newick to Portland. Mr. Oerllnger em
phatically denies that the Harrlman
companies have any connection with the
Wallula Pacific. He ollegea that he la
acting under the Instructions of New
Tork capitalists, who have ample funds
to build the proposed road, but further
than that he diaclalma any knowledge
of their plana and purposes. ,-
A theory haa been advanced that the
Wallula Pacific is projected with the
definite purpose of forcing the Hill
roads to a compromise that will permit
the Harrlman eompanles to use the new
Vancouver bridge of the Northern Pa
clfle and Great Northern on terms ad
vantageous to the proposed Harrlman
road from Portland to the Sound cities,
and that after this purpose Is served
the Wallula Paclfio rights and trackags
may be disposed of to the Milwaukee,
which, according to its present survey
from Lewlston to Seattle, will cross the
Columbia river-at Wallula.

The demand for Oregon lumber from
the orient and from Paclfio coast ports
north snd south is equally , great, and
constantly growing. More lumber is
being shipped by water from this port
thanever before.
One of the principal eanseg of the
advance ef lumber prices is the heavy
demand from railroad builders.' said a
mill man. "There is an Immense .de
mand for timbers, and the mllla are
buey sawing that class of stuff."
It la said railroad construction all
over the United States" Is practically
dependent upon Oregon and Washington
lumber mills, aa there is no other place
In the country where large dimension
stuff can be longer secured from the
standing timber. The forests of Wis
consin, Michigan and Minnesota are aU
most denuded of thia class of timber,
and the south haa nevsr furnished It
