San Francisco. Dec. IS. The extension
of Edward H. Harrunan's Southern Pacific-Mount
Bhaeta line and Oregon Rail
road & Navigation company line out
. from Portland to Tacoma and Seattle
under the name of the Oregon A Wash
ington Railroad company. Is making
rapid progress. When completed during
the nest Is or 80 months. It is the In
tention of the Harrlman officials to
' run. through passenger trains between
flan Francisco and Seattle and a through
Pullman or two during the winter sea
son between os Angeles and Seattle by
way of this city.
In getting an entrance Into Tacoma, a
tunnei 700 feet In length muni be
built. Its estimated cost is $3,000,000,
and the work will involve the excavation
of 46,000 cubic feet of earth and rock.
In connection with the tunnel a draw
bridge and half a mile of ateel con
struction will bo necessary. This lat
ter work it Is cut (mated will cost an
additional $1,000,000. Contracts for. the
$6,000,000 of work are to be let within
the next few weeks. .
All the necessary terminal property
In both Tacoma and Seattle has been
purchased by the Harrlman Interests and
Hill and Harrlman have ended their re
spective fights against each other in
that section of the country. Both have
Ialned their points. Hill already has
ine between Portland and Seattle, and

the Oregon metropolis. Harrlman's Ore-
fon railway rives Portland an outlet to
he east When they finish the work
on hand the two magnates therefore will
command entrances Into Portland -from
both the north and east and both will
have strong lines Into Tacoma and Seattle.

every alluring line In feminine attire.
According, to the edict the masculine
lines will prevail throughout the ward

Jackets must be hipless and half fit

front effect on lines of 34 or 32 inches
and long narrow sleeves.
Skirts must be gored and of dimin

toward high walsted effects, if the de

SPEECHLESS, HE
REMAINS PUZZLE
Unable to tell whether or not he
has relatives who might care for him
or to articulate beyond saying "Yah"
In answer, to questions that are asked
him. an aged "man without a country"
Is at the county poor farm. His name
is supposed to be Perkins, as this is
the name written on- a slip of paper he
carried when he was first taken tn
charge by the county several weeks
ago.
Perkins, If that be his name, oame
to, Portland from Pendleton. He was
partially paralyzed and unable to tell
where he wanted to go. Convinced that
he had been, "shipped In" by the Uma
tilla county authorities for benevolent
Multnomah county to support, he was
sent back to Pendleton. He had scarcely
landed there until he was sent back
again. Sinoe then nothing has been
learned about him.
- The old man has succeeded in mak
ing known that he wants to go to his
eon,, but who or where the son is no
one Is able to find out. Perkins tries
to tell, but It is an Indistinct mumble.
All questions he answers by the one
word of his vocabulary, "Tahl"
The poor farm officials would like
to learn where to send the old man,
but they can do nothing but keep him,
hoping that some day he may find the
power of speech. The greatest bless
ing that Christmas' could bring to this
poor old man would be the ability to
tell who .he Is and where he .wants to
go. -

Butte. Mont.. Dec. 12. One swallow
of a mixture given him for a cold by a

end fatally for Harry Wolfe, a bugler
of Company B, Sixth Infantry, sta
