A sperial from Portland says con cerning the projected line: Tho discovery that a party of seven surveyors are at work locating a roulo easterly from Eugene, Ore., across the Coscade mountains Into Eastern Oregon, Is followed today by tho Information that the Oregon East ern railway, for whom the surveyors stated that they nre employed, was In corporated on August 21, by William Crooks, assistant to J.

Telegrams ore pouring in to President Roosevelt as fast as the operators can take them, congratulating him upon the conclusion of peace. Emperor Wll- helm and King Edward were among the first to extend greetings, both de claring the president is inrgely re sponsible for the successful Issue. William J. Bryan was among those to offer congralula lions to Roosevelt. Senators, governors, diplomats and sovereigns from all over the world credit the American president with having achieved peace. The wires arc continually bringing from them thanks and pr.tlsc. Realizing that a mistake now easi ly upset the delicate situntlon and spoil all chances for .pence which Is now otherwise assured, the president Is very careful in his statements.

Allcgert Gambling Raid In Which Mayor Matlock Wan Concerned, n Farce. Mayor W. F. Matlock, who bus been In Portlnnd for a few days, returned this morning.

Thorcvns no nrrest, no money had changed hands, and there was nothing to the story that Judge Bennett hnd lost $400 or any other amount.

Lambert, father of A. K. Lam bert of this place, was ut Ritzvllle, Wash., when Sunday's storm came on. He was waiting at the station at that place for the Northern Pacific train for Pasco. The storm struck about 5 o'clock lit the evening and while It was at Its worst pitchy dark ness prevailed. While the wind was still fierce the train arrived and he boarded it for Pasco. All the way from ltll.vllle to that place the train was In a fierce wind dust storm, and the train was coitHiderulily delayed as a result. Owing to the darkness It was impossible to estimate the amount of damage that was being done along the line. From conversation with passengers who had come over the Northern Pa cific from the Sound, Mr. Lambert learned that heavy wind prevailed west of the mountuins and all along the line. Consequently all of the storm thnt covered this section evidently did not come up the Columbia. According to Mr. Lambert the wheat of the Palouse and Big Bend regions of eastern Washington is not as far advanced as In Umatilla. Con sequently, much more was yet stand ing there and here. In many places harvest has been little more than commenced, and It will be several weeks yet before any of them are through. However, It spite of the fact that there was much uncut grain, Mr. I-nmbert does not believe there will be any great loss to the yield as a re sult of the blow. ACCUSER Ol' LARCENY.

A Heavy Crop ill Sight, With the Or dinary Risks From Front Acknowl edged Middlemen In the Feeding Sheep and Mutton Sliocp Business Are at a IHx'idod Disadvantage on Account of the Stlfr I"rlees De manded on the Hrcedlng Rnngra Mutton Market Nearly Ended. "The prospects so far are for a good corn crop throughout tho middle states," says Howard Stephens, of the firm of Stephens t Hunter, who has Just returned from Omaha, where he went with a shipment or sheep from this place. According to Mr. Stephens there will be a big yield of corn this fall un less frosts should occur during Sep tember nnd thus injure the crop. This was done two years ago, when the early Indications were good as they are now. However. It is generally re garded that the corn crop this year will be heavy. As for the sheep market. Mr. Ste phens says that there Is a strong de mand In the middle states for both mutton anil feeding stock. However, the prices asked on tho ranges are so high that middlemen can hardly do anything with the situation. Accord In:; to Mr. Stephens the sales for mut ton will bow be over In a short tlmo. However, feeders will still be in de mand for some time yet. It is true that one swallow does not make a summer, but only one Is nec essary for the swallow's fall. 00 CO CROP C0UR1ARTIAL IS Secretary Bonaparte Refuses to.
