P. O'Brien of the O. R. & N. took occasion this morning to emphatically deny the truth of a rumor that the Harrlman forces now at- work on the Deschutes rnllroad had been ordered withdrawn. .The report was first heard yesterday and gained considerable circulation. It was to the effect that Julius Kruttschnltt, director of maintenance of the Harrlman lines had telegraphed Mr. O'Brien an order to call In the men now at work on the Deschutes and give up the construe- ! tion of this line. "I cannot understand how the rumor ; started, but it has gained considerable I circulation," snld Mr. O'Brien. "How- ; ever, It is absolutely false. I have received no such Instructions and we' hnvo. between 1100 and 1200 men ati work In the Deschutes now."

PRESENTS FIELD FOR STOUEfl "The new Portland Union storkvards will be the greatest boost for stockmen In this part of the northwest that has ever been given these men," Is the op timistic view of Professor J. A. Craig, Oklahoma, who has been judging the horses at the livestock exposition. "I came to Portland two years ago from Ohio to locate, but the livestock market was so unstable and conditions were so unfavorable that I went to Oklahoma." The new yards, he said would make a definite market, and one that stockmen could rely upon. He commended highly upon Oregon as a great state for the breeding of draft horses, and predicted a great future In this line. Professor Craig1 Is a national character In his line of work, and will judge the horses next week at the Seaitle exposition. twoTemploves IX TROFHLE OVEIi OHECIv j George Carlisle was Indicted by the grand Jury ycstardity on a charge of forging his nume to a check stolen from the O.
