The next six' miles, to Forest Orove. will be completed and trains running a month later. On the 14 miles of line from Garden Home to Ulllsboro the grading Is fin ished excepting- about 10,000 yardH. and i this will be completed In the next 10 days. The steel 70-pound rails are laid now for about five miles from Garden Home, to a point a mile and a half be , yond Beaverton. When the roadbed Is ' completed for the entire distance steel can be lead at the rate of a mile a day. The total distance between Portland and Forest Grove, via Gardn Home, bv this line will be 26 and two-tenthH miles. Easy Grade Secured. Ths company has secured a fine route, of easy grades and curvature, and sur prisingly short. It had been regarded ns a roundabout wav to HiUpboro and Forest Grove by people who were not familiar with the route taken. The maximum grade between Garden Home i and Hillshoro will be two per cent, with the exception of a short distance near Gardi-.ii Home, where there is a grade of four-tenths in excess of two per cent. The maximum curvature Is a six degree curve, and the greater part of the entire line is nearly straight, or has very Might curves. Between Hillshoro and Forest drove there is a tangent nearly four miles long, and the six miles of this section of the line is ex ceptionally fast track. The distance between Garden Home Junction and Forest Orove is 19.2 miles. At Hillshoro the line runs through the town on Washington street, and at Forest Grove has a private right of way through the city. Chief Engineer WVliam S. Turner, representing W. 8. Karsfow & Co., who are building the line, said: Bog-In Operation September 1. 'The Hillaboro and Forctt City line will be prartlcfilly a main line as far as character or construction is concerned "This line will be ready for regular operation of trains September 1. The. line from Hillshoro to Forest Grove Is now nearly graded. It will be ready for train operation about October 1. The entire line from Garden Home to Forest Grove will be ballasted as soon as com pleted." , . Between Garden Home and Hillshoro thero are nine bridges, rill completed excepting one near Hillshoro, where a lew days' work remains to bo done. These bridges aggregate 6,000 feet in length. The overhead construction work is well under way. Poles are set from Garden Home to Beaverton, end to morrow workmen will begin stringing the high-tension wires. These will be followed by the trolley wires. Build Substantial Depots. The high-tension line extends to within a mile of Hlllsboro. where It enters a substation and Is stepped down from 33.000 to GflO volts. This suhsta li is of the same weleht of steel and the same character oi roadbed, bridge j tl m will he a regular stop and has construction ana overnean construction, waiting room ror passengers. The H miles from Garden Home to The stations at Hlllsboro, Beaverton Hlllsboro is now nearly graded and five i and Forest Grove, and probablv at Gar miles of the track Is laid. den Home, will be substantial buildings WAIT FOR W P UPAPQT 6V. 11. IILHIUj : When Editor Returns From California Thomas L. His i fren and John Temple ; Graves Will Be Notified of Nomination. New York. Aug. 1. The nominees of the Independence party for president md rice-president Thomas L. Hisgn of Massachusetts end John Temple Graves of Georgia will he formally notified with appropriate rcremonl'S in fiis city on the return of William R. j Hearst from California. ! The National Independence club at IT Grammercy 8juare, will bo the scene of , the notification speeches. Leaders of the new partv from aii parts of th union will attend. The exact date rsn I not he set for a few dv hut tt j within three or four weeks The notl- tra'lon committee will he nam.O by National Secretary Cl.nrles A. Wilsh of loa, who acted as permanent chair man of the recent convention of the p.riy in Chicago. ' Mr Hearst will be among the speakers Thomas L. Hls gen. the new party s nominee for the presidency, will make th first speech of the campaign at this notif ligation. JCr. Kaaj-st naaaad. Perhaps no one is more pleased with tha success of th Chi. ago convention, tha strength of th In Jprd?nce plat form and the personnel of the nominees than William R. Hearst He accepted Uie tender f th management of the campaign without thought of his per aonal tntreats. As there Is a gr.rl demanl that Mr Hearst take the sturrp (or His gen aa4 Graves. It Is likely that be will make a whirlwind cam raljrt fro Maine to California Inleas tha campaign committee changes Its plana Mr. Hisgen will make L - . I a wide tour. He has shown himself to be an effective campaign speaker and Is especially strong In stamping his per sonality upon the people whom he ad dresses. John Temple Graves has the reputa tion of being a polished speaker every where south of the Mason and Dixon line. Much of his campaigning will he done in the southland. They know, him there as the "Little Giant," and no man Is better e-iulpped to put the prin- Iples j.cf the party before the southern voter. Details of Oaonpaig-n. The details of the campaign by which the new party hopes to break at least part of the solid south out of the Demo cratic column will be in the hands of ex-Congressman M. W. Howard of Ala bama. Mr. Howard was a candidate for the presidency and he drew the second largest number. There was no feeling about the presidential fleht. however, and before leaving for the south, Mr Howard assured his successful rival of his support. In the middle west another man. who ha 1 his presidential aspirations set aside Charles F. 3. Neal will look after the details. Mr Neal la a power In Indiana politics and showed Ills ex ecutive ability In the Independence par ty organization. The planning of the campaign will net b left until Mr. Hearsts return from California, He will devote much of his time to It while looking after tersonal affairs at 8an Francisco ard will confer with western leaders over the fight which Is to be made In Cali fornia, Oregon. Washington, Nevada and Idaho. With Mr. Hearst la C. J.

It will take about one I year to finish the construction. with passenger and freight rooms. All along the line the stations will havo compartments for waiting room and freight room and can be placed under look and key.

Thibet's Great Chain of Mountain!). The most important discovery we made In thus traversing diagonally the whole of Thibet was the gigantic chain of mountains we crossed by the Sola pass, which 1s over 19,000 feet high. How little this chain of mountains had hithorto been dreamed of Is evident from among other things the suppo sition indulged in bv Sir Thomas Hold rich In his hook, "Thibet the Mysteri ous, that the great central laKes lan gra Yuru Tso, Nganzl Tso. etc. were the sources of the Brahmaputra's north ern tributaries that Is to say, that there was a stretch of relatively flat country where. In reality, wo found there was ono of the highest ranges of mountains In the whole world, a chain which can be compared only with the Himalayas and their kind. Captain O'Connor suspected their existence by hearsay. the chain known as Nln Chen Tnngla. which Is situated south of the Tengrl Nor, was well known and had been crossed by Llttledale and sev eral others, but, no one knew that this chain stretched for close to 1,200 miles to the west-northwest, as I now dis covered. It Is a certainty that It also stretches to the east and hps a total length of about 2,000 miles. The aver- TT. B.

Mighty as Is this excrescence on the earth's surface, the Thibetans have no name for Its whole length. Countless local names are given to the various parts of It. As tha range will In futuro have to be Included not only In the knowledge of the world, but also in the school books, it becomes necessary for It to have a name, and, so far as I can see It would he best to keep to the n.mio by which Its highest point is already known, namely. Nln Chen Tan gla It sounds strange, when one con siders how thoroughly the world has been explored, that In the year 1907 It should he vouchsafed to any ono prac tically to discover a range of mountains 2,000 miles long, and the surprise of the, discovery Is Intensified rather than diminished by tho fact that hero and thtjre the country traversed was already known. Adu let us remember thut such a discovery cannot be made again for thero la no blank space big enough in tho map of the world to contuln such a range of mountains. Sven Hedin In Harper's Magazine.
