J.. Days --Work Is to Be
Hurried.
' ' ,
In ' view of the decision of Seere
. inry Balllnger approving the maps of
the" Deschute railroad, General Mana
ger J. P. O'Brien of the O. R. ft N.
4otnpany aid thl morning that ha
Hoped to be able to ask for bida on the
agency plaina part of the road-the
part aouth of the canyon of the Des
ohutea, within 80 days.
Mr. O'Brien and General Attorney
W. Cotton arrived in Portland from
Sew York thi, morning. They hav
. been eaat for some time arranging de
tails of the Clearwater Joint agreement
with the Northern Pacific, the Tacoma
Bortland agreement and tha Deachutea
f"whfl'e In the eaat." said Mr. O'Brien.
"I made a special trip to Washington
and saw our representatives there. In
an effort to hasten the decision of
Secretary Ballinger upon our maps
through the Deschutes canyon. They
assured roe that everything possible
was being done to have these maps ap
proved and that they hoped for a de
cision within a few daya. Judging
front press dispatches it wae made yes
terday and our mapa, a well aa thoaa
of the Oregon Trunk line, were approved
at that time.
. ; ' Obstacle Bemoved.
. '? "This remove 'all attempta on the
part of the government to block the
building of the new central Oregon line,
and all that remaina for us now ia to
begin the work of condemning such por
tions of our required right of way aa we
have not yet secured. I do not appre
hend that this will be a very difficult
Urt of the work. We already hava a
very considerable part of the right of
way. especially that part between the
point where we leave the canyon and
Bend, over what is called the Agency
riaina. I think I may be able to ask
for bids for construction work upon this
part of the road within the next 80
da vs
Mr. O'Brien said that he had arranged
for a meetlna- between Mr. Cotton. Chief
Engineer Boachke and his surveyors and
himself for tomorrow morning,, and he ,
thought that the plana for the actual
construction of tha Deschute line could j
be arranged" in more detail then. .. j
Will Hurry Construction. ,
"I ahall certainly do everything in my
power to hurry construction of the Des
chutes road." atd Mr; O'Brien, "and
we -are Just as anxloua aa the people or
Central Oregon to get the work atarted
As eoon aa we can arrange it we will
ask for bids on that part of Jthe line
where our righta of way are already e
cured. let the contract and get men Into
the field." ' '.' '
Another matter that has been prac
tically settled during the eastern trio
of Messrs. Cotton and O'Brien was the
Operation of the Clearwater line, owned
Jointly by the O. R. & N. and the
Northern Pacific.
"An agreement and contract for the
operation of this line ba been agreed
UDon," aaid Mr. O'Brien, "and should be
signed within 3 daya. It provides for
the joint Operation of the road from
Rlparla or Texa Ferry to. Grangeville,
whereby the two lines will be common
user and each will have the right to
operate trains over the entire extent of.
the road with equal freedom."
Depot Question. Unsettled.
! The union depot matter haa not yet
been settled. It came up for more or
lees f uvorable mention several times
during the New York conference, but
is yet ui) in the air. Mr. O'Brien said
he hoped to see It settled and Mr. Cotton
said that Mr. Hill had frequently stated
that he enjoyed having hie own depots,
and had up to the present not hown
much disposition to Join In the union
deThe contract whereby the Union Pa
cific becomes a joint ier of the Ta-comm-Portland
line of the Northern Pa
cific haa not-yet been signed by the
Hill men, according to Mr. Cotton. At
- the New York conference the Northern
Pacific was represented by President
Howard Elliott and General Consul
Charles Bunn of St. Paul. The con
tract has not yet been signed by the
Hill Interests and probably will not be
before the middle of July. Mr. Cotton
said he reason for the delay was that
the Hill representatives were away and
could not be reached before that time.
Three Contracts.
"The contracts consider"- were three
In number" eaid Mr. Cotton, "and are
with regard "to the Clearwater lln. the
Xorthern Paeiflc bridges between Port
land and Vaucouver and the- Northern
Pactflc line between Vancouver and Ta
coma. "The proposition as drawn up Is not
for a purchase -of any part of these
lines by the Cnton Pacific, but merely
for a lease Of an interest in them and
" a right to operate our freight and pas
senger trainit over them. I am not at
liberty to state the financial terms of
this contract"

HOT WORDS PASS
III GOODE CASE
Lawyer and Lady Make Un
- complimentary Remarks
to Each Other in Court.
"Tou are coward. Mr. Malarkey.
"You are no lady. Mrs. Goods."
Compliments like these were freely
exchanged In the county court yesterday
arternoon in tne hearing or Mrs. Henry
W. Goode'a objections to the allowance
or -'uu tees to Samuel a. Heed aa aa
mlntstrator of the estate of her hue
band. Dan J. Malarkey la one of the at
torneys lor Reed, and his cross exami
nation of Mrs. Goode cauaed her to be
come agitated.
The "cowaid" eplaode came during the
reaaing or a long letter written oy Mrs.
Goode from the east to Reed, In which
she poured withering sarcasm on Fred
V. Holman, attorney for her husband's
estate, threw bouquets to Judge Web
ster, Delore whom the hearing is now
In progress, and pleaded with Reed to
"come over to her aide" In protecting
the interests of the estate. Malarkey
charged that thla letter wa written
with the idea of producing it in court
some day before Judge Webster, but the
witness said she had no such idea
when it wa written. .
Mrs. Good I Indignant.
When Malarkey came to a portion of
the letter in which Mrs. Goode extolled
the genius' of her husband in consolidat
ing the Portland street railways, ho
caused to ask Mrs. Goode if It were not
iruo that her husband borrowed a large
part of the money to accomplish this
irom Mr. uearora, wnom sne now ac
cuses of acting against her interests.
"He did not. said Mrs. Goode. Then.
becoming indignant, her voice rose to a
high pitch and she continued:
"Every man in Oregon knows that my
noble husband made the Portland Rail
way, light & cower what it Is today. It
was he who built it up and he who
consolidated It. and he. who directed it
with his master mind. Every honest
man Knows tnis. and win concede it.
How do you dare Mr.- Malarkey, to say
that he borrowed the money? You dare
to stand and say that it was not he who
made the company what It is? Tou are
a coward, Mr. MalaMcey."
Promptly came the retort, "Tou are
no lady. Mrs. Goode."
Here Judge Webater rapped for order,
but witness and lawyer leaned toward
each other, apparently anxious to re
sume the fray. In a moment there
was another outburst, for Malarkey
fairly shouted:
Socked Vp In .Bathroom.
"Now that you are insulting me, I
will aak you If it 1 not true that you
put a aervant in the bathroom In vour
apartments at a local hotel and locked
her in there?"
"I did not. I never did auch a thing."
Mra. Goode shot this answer before
Judge Webster had time to Interpose.
The court said thla was not a proper
question, and had nothing to do with
the caae, even if it were true.
"But this witness insults me. your
honor." said Malarkey. He tried to talk
further, but Judge Webater here aa-'
sumed command of the aituatlon. He
said that allowance must be made for
the .agitation of the witness, and that
she could not be expected to speak with
the greatest moderation under such try
ing circumstances. He directed that
Malarkey proceed with reading tha let
ter. Question of Veracity.
Once before thia Mrs. Goode had
landed a hard slap on Malarkey. Re
plying to one of his questions, she aaked
a question in return, and Malarkey re
sponded: "1 am not a witness here. If you
want to make me a witness, put me on
the stand."
"I would not believe you if you wer
on the stand," retorted Mrs. Goode.
"That is another insult," said the at
torney, adding, "and if I were to give
my opinion, I would say that I do not
believe you, either."
When the reading of the letter wa
finished Jiiriea Webster continued tht
'hearing until this afternoon. He hopes
to conclude the testimony Monday or
Tuesday.

Under the new dairy laws passed by
the last legislature three new dairy in
spectors were appointed, and they will
commence their duties very soon. As
yet they have not met many of the
creamerymen. and this evening s meet
ing win result in a close acquaintance,
being formed between 'the creamery
men and the inspectors.
It waa only last week that the dep
uty commissioners were appointed and
they have bad no chance to see what
they can accomplish. Mr. Bailey haa
great hope for them, however, and la
aure that great things' will be done
towarda improving the- dairy buelneaa
in Oregon.

standard of cream which is being
hipped into Portland. The insDectors
are to take the entire process of dairy
ing irom the farm clear to file atore
where it is retailed, and see that mora
Cleanliness, care and judgment ia used
in the process. Cleanliness is to be the
slogan of their campaign, and no effort
win oe spared to oring tma. aDout.

By FREDERIC 3. HASKIX.
(Copyright 1909 by Fjederlo J. Haskln.)
Washington. Jun -II. -The first
eclipse of the. aun for the year 1909
occurred Thursday. It was not the
Teat astronomical - event that some
eclipses have been, since it was only
partial, except in tne Arctic region.
There it took the form of an annular
eclipse; that is, the moon was too far
away to hide the whole face of the
Bun, the edge of which appeared out
side the circumference of the moon.
Before it wa over the moon was far
enough away to completely cut off the
sun from earthly view at the point in
the path of totality, and the eclipse
then became total. - Later still it again
became annular, after which the moon
passed away from before the face of
the sun. To America above a line
drawn from San Francisco to Corpus
Chrlsti. Texas, the eclipse was par
ial. Below that line it was Invisible.
Perhaps the most .remarkable fact
connected with, eclipses' Is that astron
omers can pugtlict them with an ac
curacy down to the very minute and
for centurlas ahead, yet th state of
the clouds cannot be foretold even a
single day. This has caused many, a
well-laid plan for eclipse expeditions
to go awry, and the arrangements of
months and the expenditure of thou
sands of dollars to go for naught. Pe
rlods of total eclipse of the sun are
great events in the lives of those who
wish to fathom the secrets of that great
luminary. There are about 70 total
eclipses of the sun In a century, and
their aggregate periods of totality
amount to but little more than three
hours.
Preolous Momenta of Bolipv.
Some of these are visible only in re
gions too remote for .the astronomer
to reach, while others can be seen only
on the oceans. Still others are obscured
by clouds, so that the astronomer has
to work and think fast when a favor
able opportunity does present itself.
At most he ha but seven minute on
a given eclipse, and the average i less
thsn three minutes. The width of the
strip of territory over which an eclipse
may be total cannot exceed 17 mtles,
and it is seldom wider than 140 miles.
Some parts of the earth are more fa
vored with total eclipses than other
parts. London never saw a total eclipse
In more than 600 years together, while
Venezuela saw two in three years. New
York has not seen a single total eclipse
In a century, while Yellowtone Park
had two in 12 years.
Eclipses la Ancient Tims.
Eclipse observations are lea than a
century old. In ancient times astron
omers were not able td predict eclipses.
At Rome It wa a crime to talk abbut
their being due to natural causes; they
were believed to be ' without the order
of nature, and to presage some dire
event Even after astronomer learned
the ' secret of ecllpsea the people at
large refused to believe it. It Is said
that Thales was able to bring about
the peace between the Medes and the
Lydlans by predicting an eclipse, and
that Columbus impressed his heavenly
descent on the Jamaicans by showing
them that he could tell when an eclipse
would occur. In justice to him It is
to be said that he made such a claim
in onder to get food for his men. The
reason that astronomers were so slow
In learning how to predict eclipse
and to explain them was that while
they occurred with regularity they oc
curred at different olacea on the earth,
thus effectually hiding from the astron
omers the regularity of their occur
rence. Sua Bold Tltal 8ort.
The deep interest m the sun which
astronomers are now taking is due
largely, to the lesson they learned
through eclipses. Through them they
have learned about the corona, the
chromosphere, and the solar promi
nence. These discoveries have stimu
lated the most intense interest in the
studv of rtbe un. and astronomers are
working a they never worked before to
fathom the mysteries of the great orb
to which all earthly life owes its ex
istence. So great has this interest be
come that an International union for
cooperative research has been estab
lished, and the astronomers of the world
come together every few years, form
ing a clearing house for the informa
tion gathered between meeting.
Problem of Sun' Oonstanoy. '
Much has already been learned about
the sun and the layman must wonder
and marvel at the genius of the as
tronomer and his ability to acquire the
knowledge which ha been obtained.
Yet the astronomer thinks only of what
Is yet to be learned, and the little he
knows compared with what he desire to
find out. . He will jtell you that It 1
important-that- he should know more
about the constancy of the sun. He
has learned that the heat it throws off
varies from month to month, yet he
wants to know why. ' Herhas discovered
that there Is a relation between ter
restrial magnetism and sun-spots, and
probably between earthquakes and sun
spots, but he wants to know what that
relation is. He knows that a change of
10 per cent in the. radiation of heat by
the sun would result in a change of U
degres in the . temperature of our at
mosphere. ' - . ,
i Old Sol' Tart Girth.
Astronomer have been able to prov
to a certainty that the sun Is approxi
mately 93,000,000 miles away from the
earth.... -They have three standpoints
from which this may be calculated, and
all give . the - aame answer. . They
are then" ' in ' a -position to. tell
how big the sun Is, and they
place its diameter at 800,000 miles. If
It takes 40 daya to go around the earth,
at the same speed it would . take 11
years to travel around the un. If th
earth were to swell to the slse f the
sun and man should grow tall In pro
portion, he would be about 625 feet
high, or nearly a hundred feet higher
than the Washington monument If
159 pound man could fly . to the sun
his weight there would be about two
tons, owing to the vast increase In the
force of gravity, due in turn to the far
greater , size of the Sun as compared
with the earth. . .,...-,' . ..

off enough heat to drive an ocean
Jtner, and two acres of the sun' surface
would furnish power enough to drive
all the machinery in the world now
driven by ateam. It heat- concentrated
on a column- of ice-two- and a fourth
miles square and reaching from the
earth to the sun would uf flee to melt
the whole column in a single second.
In seven seconds more the water from
the- melted column would be vaporized.
What becomes of all this heat and light,
ask the astronomers. With only one
billionth part of it used by all the
planets, do the other 999,999,999 part
go on and on into empty space forever,
at the rate of 188,000 mile a second?
Is the sun bo prodigal with ' its heat
that it uses only the billionth part to
a good purpose?
And when will-thlB .terrific expendi
ture of energy cease? Scientists know
that if it were a solid lump of .the
best anthracite cdal; burning under a
forced draft, it would not give off a
much heat a at present And that the
last vestige of that lump would be
burned away in $6000 years.
' Contraction Theory of Heat.
The accepted tneory of the source of
the sun's heat 1 that of contraction.
It has been shown that a contraction of
26 feet a year in the sun's volume
would account for all the heat It radi
ates. At that rate It would take 10,000
year for th difference to become ap
preciable to th astronomer, and 10,
000.000 year for" It seriously to affect
condition on th .earth. '

Simon Newcomb, whose . . name is
known wherever men study the heaven,
say that the cromosphere, the ring of
light around the sun at a total eclipse,
if an ocean pf fire, is a deep as tha
Atlantlo is broad, and many times hot
ter than the fiercest furnace. If there
are hurricane in the sun they blow aa
fast in a second as our greatest storms
in an hour. In 80 second on of them
would blow . from the Canadian border
to -the' gulf of Mexico, not destroying
houae and life alone, but converting
the whole landscape into a seething

pearing upon the scene armed with a
45 caliber navy revolver, and informing,
the panio stricken church dignitaries,

ing that Buss, who was superintending
the work, had exceeded by several hundred-dollar
the amount appropriated
for the purpose, by having the choir

less progressive members of the board
iermea it, erected in jne rear of the
church. Bus and hi friends, on the
contrary, contended that the expenditure
had been authorised, and the contro
versy finally grew o bitter that the
churoh promised to become disrupted.
In order to aett'le the matter the xiea-
con and trustees, under the leadership
wt vouuiy Assessor cngtisn, wno
ha been much in th limellaht In tha
quarrel between the officials and their
pastor, which ha made the church fa

depose Buss and demanded his resigna
tion, but he refused to vacate and held
Jiossession of the church by having neiv
ocks Disced on the door, to which ha
only held the key. .
Tract Beat Paster.
On the evening of June t, after holi
ng a meeting at which it was decided
to demand possession of the keys from
Buss, and if he refused to take them
by force, the board, accompanied by a
number of the members of the congre
gation, went to tne pareonage, ana, al
ter calling the minister to the door and
demanding the key, which he refused
to give up, served written notice upon
up possession oi in cnurcn witnin tnree
days. In the argument which followed,
English attempted to fore hi way into
the careonare. in order to ret into the
church with which it is connected, but
waa prevented by Buss, whereupon they
dragged Bus out into the yard and
were beating and choklrir him when hi
wlf came to hia relief with a revolver
and forcing her way out to the street,

mitted him to reenter the parsonage.

that the action of the meeting in "re

calling his license to preach and ex
cluding him from th ehurch was just
