Says He Thinks Good Work Has Been Done During the Time They Have Been at It No Trouble Fear ed In Getting Capital. The Walla Walla Statesman says H. Mellman, president of the Wash ington. Electric Railway, Light and Power Company, has just returned from Spokane, where he had been to interest capitalists in his proposed electric railroad from this city to Dayton. While in Spokane, Mr. Mellman claims to have interested several moneyed men in his scheme, such as Senator Turner and Colonel RIdpath. No More Stock for Sale. He stated further that after the 10th of next month all stock would be removed from the market in this section of the country. "We just placed a block on the market so peo ple could buy if they wanted to. I have no fear of being able to interest ample capital to construct the line. I expect a Mr. Kressly, representing Pennsylvania electrical companies, here in a few days. He and I will make a trip -the entire length of our line and will inspect the power sites. He will then make a report to his company on the practicability and probable success of tne Jine. Satisfied With Results. "I feel very well satisfied with the amount of work already accomplish ed.

The engineering de partment has nearly completed its work on the plans and today we sign ed the contract with the Northwest ern Construction Company to do all the work except surveys and grading The rails have also been ordered. As soon as the engineering department gets its work completed actual work will be commenced. Much Activity. Since the activity of the Mellmann forces in gobbling ud water rights other capital has begun to show an interest themselves in tnese tnings. It is said that a surveying party has been working on the Walla Walla River, locating a water site for some purpose, but what that purpose is has not been found out. John B. Wilson. of Walla Walla, Is at the head of this surveying party and when asked what was meant by the move he re plied: Nothing to Say. "I have nothing to say. We might have been surveying for that Som- merville railroad talked of a few years ago and we might not. The Walla Walla River Is quite a swift stream." This same comnanv has finished Its work on the Walla Walla River and have transferred to Mill Creek. Isaacs Behind Move. It is supposed that the Isaacs are behind the present surveying move ments, but this cannot be confirmed, as Mr. Isaacs is camping in the mountains. SHEEP MAN.

Sanders was caught by ropes on his saddle' and was unable to extricate himself. The horse rolled over him three times as they went down the steep mountain side, and kicked him viciously en route. Sanders, only nartially con scious, walked a short distance to s camp. Some of his men came in a short time later and one was dis patched to Idaho City for Dr. New ell. who left at 4 n. m. Wednesday, Sanders stated he was fatally hurt but the pain was so intense that he wanted the assistance of a physician to alevlate it that he might die peace fully.

The general resort to bloodhounds throughout the country for chasing criminals has brought out considera ble discussion, and many ideas are formed as to what a bloodhound is, or looks like. People who have seen "Uncle Tom's Cabin" bIiowb have an Idea much overdrawn about the bloodhounds. In this drama the bloodhounds aro usually the largest mastiffs, or curs that can be found, size and viciousness in appearance being greatest In demand, and this gives out the idea to the uninitiated that 'bloodhounds are terrors In Bizo and vicious in habits. The namo "blood" adds to forming tills idea. The truth is, the bloodhound Is a very modest appearing animal, vory kind and very small; that Is, the ,inn,iiinnnii out of fiction and books, and the bloodhound that was used in capturing slaves and that Is used to ilnv In tracklntr criminals. The original bloodhound, nnd what may be called the pure breed, is de scribed as "a breed of large ana pow nrfni iinpR with lonir. smooth and pen il rnniarkablo for nniitnnnss in smell." But in slavery Hmn in this ponntrv this Jog was not used. A common black-and-tan hound was used in tracking slaves that mmitii nttnnlr no one In a fight. They merely kept the trail, baying as they went, that the patrolmen miPht follow and take charge of the fnHMvpq when overtaken. It was not the purpose to have vicious dogs tear the slaves to pieces, as this would have decreased the value of the slave. Tho nurnoRe was to overtake run aways in the quickest time and re capture them with the least injury, rilmco rvhn Imnerlnfi Liza. In "Uncle Tnm'B nnhln." chased by vIcIoub bloodhounds would have been Bur prised to have Been Innocent-looking deer or foxhounds following on her trail, had her case been a true one, baying softly as they went running slowly so as to permit their master, or the patrolman to keep up with them.
