owners of the Great Southern, the line

Southern has returned from as. Inspec
v . tton trip over .Its route taken with E.
' B. Spalding and M. P. Smith, twj capi
talists of Spokane, during whico they
'drove over a considerable portion of the
:., country, both In the direction of Tygh
' Valley and the Juniper Flats, south of
Dufur. As a result of this trip a crew
: of surveyors will be started out the
llrst of next month surveying routes
into Tygh valley and Into the timber
. towards Mount Hood. Mr. Helmrlch
stated this morning that one of the
two routes would be selected and grad
ing would be done next winter.
..: "We have two propositions up to us,"
- said Mr. Helmrlch, "one to extend the
' Jine to Tygh, as was the original Inten
tion and the other to build Into the rich
timber belt to the west. The Tygh line
would carry us through a good , wheal
country while the timber should prove
. very valuable also. There are four or
five small mills In this timber bell now,
. as well as that of the Clear Lake Irri
gation ft Lumber company, which has a
- capacity of fO.000 feet daily. The edge
' of this timber belt Is about three miles
.,. from Dufur.
does Toward Desolate a.
r "The Tygh valley , extension would
- carry us directly toward the Deschutes
. . and give us a very good start for a Hue
. Into central Oregon. It would have the
great advantage over the proposed Har-
rlman line of running through a pro
ductive country the entire distance.
Our report for the y:ar Just ending will
' show that we have carried more than
, 900 cars of wheat ond hogs out of the
'. country along our line. The Deschutes
1 road would have the handicap of run-
rtlng through a rocky canyon for a long
distance. 1 do not think that Harriman
could efpect to secure interest on his
money in that line for some time to
come. It will cost him all of $46,000 a
mile to construct, -while ours has not
cost us more than $20,000, with .proper
equipment. Of course the value of the
; Deschutes road to Harrimsn would be
the fact that it would prove a feeder to
. -the O. R. & N. Standing as a road by
Itself, It would not ,pay.
"We n't say definitely what we
' -will do about extending our line south-
' -east of Tygh until It becomes more ev
: tdent what Harriman'a Intentions are.
Whether he really Intends building his
Keschutes road or not Is more than 1

' - If the Deschutes road is built It Is
evident thst It will take away much
' of the business that now comes to the
Great Southern from the country east
of the Deschutes river and the decision
'; to extend the independent road Is prob
ably an effort to forestall any such
move on the'part of the Harriman line.
The Great Southern has a capital of
$500,000 and an authorized bond issue
of $2,000,000. Its bonds are held by
the stockholders of the road which In-
, elude among other' Portland business
men Meier Frank. It is said that
. the outstanding bonds were recently of
fered to both Hill and Harriman. but
that the offer was not taken up In
either case.

BOURNE SOLID
WITH
Evidences Multiply That He
Is Personal Friend and
Trusted Adviser.
By . John E. Latbrop.
Washlnaton. Mav 14. Observers of
things In Washington are disposed to
contend that rather unfair reports are
betng circulated In Oregon of Bourne's
standing with President Taft. At
tempts that have been made recently
to create the Impression that Bourne
is In disfavor with Taft are apparently
of a kind with similar representations
made Before the inauguration, wnen
Taft was at Hot Springs. Vs.. and Au
gusta, Ga. .Then It was intimated that
Bourns was trying to force his atten
tions on the president and that his ef
forts were distasteful to Taft. It is
thought subsequent events have effect
ually dlsprorod ..the accuracy of these
reports and that th late evidences of
high favor In wfrtcS the president held
Bourne would be sufficient to render
nugatory attempts to create such wrong
impressions.
Writer Klataksa, At bait
While it Is believed probable that
the writer of the latest report that
Taft "snubbed Bourne, who was al
leged to hare tried to force himself
on the president in golf attire, believed
his statement was true, yet the facts
are exactly the opposite. No such snub
was administered, and the chief execu
tive apparently holds Bourns in special
esteem, regarding ilm as one fo the
frankest and most outspoken of men
and one of the safest of the advisors
who has been called Into counsel since
the new administration began. Inas
much as the golf game Injects Itself
Into Oregon politics so insistently, so
I have been at pains to record here,
with assurance of their truthfulness
from my associates, the evidences that
the president enjoys Bourne's company,
respects htm as a senator, likes him as
a friend and listens to him as a coun
selor, .while either playing golf or re
fraining from that game. Of course,
it won't save the country, yet, inasmuch
as newspaper correspondents have golf
forced on them In material mi.niltv
In the political life of the common
wealth for which they write news day

fRitm-tal DlaiMtrh to The Joarnal.l
Sllverton, Or., May 25. Probably
nothing has ever created so much con
tention In Silver ton as the recent trou
ble growing out of class rivalry. It
Is apparent today that the end Is not
yet in signt. since uoumy superin
tendent Smith of Salem met the board
of education In the city last week and
confirmed the opinion of Professor Ray
and Attorneys Rauch and -Beits, relative
to the board s authority in suspending
nine pupus rrom tne scnooi, w. uowser,
chairman of the board of education, and
G. A. Book, one of the directors, have
tendered their resignation to the county
superintendent and tne same nas peen
accepted.
The school clerk Issued a call yester
day for a special school election to be
held June 4, when two directors will be
elected to fill the vacancies'. A bitter
contest is looked forward to at this and
also at the annual school election, which
will occur June 21, when. It Is said, an
effort will be made to vote out the high
school entirely. The district was bond
ed four years ago and a high school
building erected at cost of 115,000.
Following the expression of the coun
ty superintendent's opinion before the
board the two men were hung In sfflgy
to a telephone pole. The same night
eggs were thrown at Mr. Bowser while
he was going home from his store. It
is believed to have been the work of
persons other than the students who be
came enraged at the board's decision.
Sentiment seems to be divided, but It
la believed that one member of the
board and a majority of the patrons of
the school approve or the superintend
ent's action.
6EI BACKS UP

Lackers of -Buzz Saw Call
Bluff of Fraternity Men
and Aristocrats Flunk.
Lincoln High school spirit has re
turned' and the dominance of the fra
ternities is at an end. So say Girard
M. Peirce, editor of the Buss Saw, and
his staff of four who have defied the
secret society clique which has been
running athletics and other school ac
tivities with a high hand for years
past.
This was demonstrated yesterday
when the "frat" crowd lined up and In
terms more forceful than polite told
the cleemosynarlan Iconoclasts that
they might prepare to have their
"blocks beaten off."
The doughty filibusters of the Buzx
Saw, however, took no heed of the ad
vice; They only smiled and stood their
ground. But- behind them stood prac
tically the entire student body of young
men. who .also smiled. The little co
terie of frat men reconsidered. Odds of
three to one are not easily overcome,
especially if the law prevails on the
stronger side.
Leaders of the clique- consulted again,
and after a short parley withdrew from
the field. The Buiz Saw had won the
day. No more .will the Greek letter
flaunt Its superiority over ranks of the
proletariat. Brawn and brain and. sinew
nave triumphed for the first time in i
long years. Next year the student body !
win De reorganised, say the insurgents,
and a new era will be ushered in.

"We will land them ln the peniten

Isn't big enough for them to escape the
army of men we will put on their trail.
They can't get away."
While It Is impossible accurately to
estimate the amount of money secured
by the bandits, It Is believed that at
least 1125.000 was stolen.
That the plans for the holdup were
laid ln Reno Is a theory that has been
accepted by the secret service men of
the railroad. When the robbers en
tered the mall car they Immediately de
manded the Reno pouch. This fact has
given weight to the belief that an em
ploye of the postal service was a mem
ber of the plotting gang. None of the

Salem, Or., May 25. L. H. McMahan
will file suit this week to restrain the

He will also bring similar action to
enjoin the state from paying over the

It Is McMahan's contention that both

they are local and special acts, and that
neither project Is of enough worth to
make a demand upon the taxpayers of

Although a representative from Mai
