The'TeaHibility of a railroad from The
Dalles to Dufur is becoming more and
more nppareut as tho days go by. The
building of a new railway line from
Biggs to Wasco and eventually to lYine
villo, renders tho building of a railroad
fuitlier south than Dufur in this direc
tion impracticable from the present
trallic standpoint. Thus Dufur will be
come a distributing center of no mean
proportions. Dufur Dispatch,

Some time yesterday evening a couple
of mischievous boys threw rocks at a
large Chinese lantern belonging to Hong,
one of the best-known celestials in the
city, and as their aim was good, they
succeeded in knocking the lantern into
a "cocked hat." It was quite a valuable
concern, being worth about twenty-five
dollars, and Hong is making all kindBof
eilbrts to have the guilty parties brought
to justice. He says that he knows the
boys who did it, and if he can get any
proof to substantiate his statement it
will be likely to go hard with the lads.
It would bo well if some of the boys who
perpetrate such acts were be made an
example of, and there is no doubt that
others would profit by the same. In this
way much of the meanness that is prac
ticed would be stopped.
THE CASE GOING SLOWLY.

The case of the United States vs. Seu
furt Bros., to condemn right of way for
the proposed Celilo boat railway, is not
progressing as rapidly as might be ex
pected, from the amount of experience
it has had in being tried. Thursday the
entire day was occupied in taking the
testimony of two witnesses and in squab
bling over what parts of their testimony
should be admitted, and what questions
they should and should not be allowed
to answer.
The first witness was A. Wiuane, who
lias a fishery on the north side of tho
Columbia opposite Seufert Bros.' fishery.
His testimony was to tho elTect that
Seufert Bros.' fishing privilege was
worth $150,000, and that after the boat
railway was built it would be reduced to
only .75,000. The Becond witness was
Thomas A. Hudson, a real estate dealer,
of The Dulles, whose opinion was that tho
construction of the boat railway would
damage Seufert Bros.' property $100,000
or more. Lionel Webster, counsel fori
the defendants, insisted on asking Hud
son questions which counsel for the gov
einiueut insisted should not be asked,
and the continual sparring over this was
very trying on the patience of the court,
who finally peremptorily refused to al
low some questions to bo asked or aiJ
swered. Just how long the trial is like
ly to last is what no one can find out.
The defense is seeking to introduce
evidence to establish heavy damages,
while the government is making every
effort to have it excluded upon the
ground that the jury, having examined
tho promises, is a competent judge, It
is fetired by the United States district
attorney that the testimony of witnesses
favorable to the interests of the defend
ant will have a tendency to influence
the jury to award higher damages,

Owing to a lack of space yeeterday we
were forced to leave out the special
school meeting of district No. 12, which
was held at the high school building for
the purpose of levying a tax for the
coining year.
The attendance at the meeting was not
nearly so large as it should have been,
but the greatest of interest was exhibit
ed, and a spirit of unity prevailed.
Dr. O. D. Doane, as chairman, called
to order, and then Etating the object for
which the voters had met, presented a
statement of the estimated receipts and
expenditures for the year, judging from
those of the past year. The statement
was as follows :

The taxable property on the roll of
