Within two weeks the Oregon Electric
riallway company will be runnlnR con
struction trains into Ulllsboro. and by
September 1 the company will be giving
regular train service to that point. 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

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

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

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-

Mighty as Is this excrescence on the

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

It to have a name, and, so far as I can
