W1U Not Extend FasHriinw Service.
Our people are aware of the efforts
of butlness men of The Dalles, In con
Junction with residents of Bhermnn
county and all the Interior who are
compelled to travel over the Colum
bia Southern railway, to have the pas
senger service of that road extended
from Biggs to The Dalles. Indeed, if
there was a dissenting voice as regards
such a change, we have, not heard
from It. Certainly it does not come
from those who have experienced the
inconvenience of the long delay at
Biggs as they wait for the arrival of
No. 1.
Being aware that It would be better
all around and being led to believe
that such a consummation would not
be a difficult ona with the O. R. &. N.,
our business men have been working
to that end, while the public have
awaited with Interest the result of
their efforts. They will therefore be
greatly disappointed at the refusal of
the company to comply with the re
quest. The Dalles Chronicle.
Robbed a Cash Register.
The little town of Mosier has a sen
sation In the form of a robbery com
mitted last night
This morning when Alexander Stew
art, who runs a department store
there, came down to work, he found
the door broken open and his cash
register stolen.
Robbers had bored a hole In the
door, through which they reached In
and turned the night lock, gaining ad
mittance. They then appropriated
the cash register and taking It down
by the O. R. & N. water tnnk, blew it
open and must have been disappoint
ed when they extricated only 110
therefrom for their trouble.
Not a sound was heard by the res
idents of the little burg, neither Have
they tho slightest clew as to who per
petrated the robbery; suppose, how
ever, that It was the work of tramps.

ALL ARE ADVANCING.
sogrcsKive Western Cities Are Pac
ing Their Strerts.
Councilman H. S. Bowen, who has
Jtst returned from a month's visit
to Portland and Sound cities, has
much to say of Interest to his neigh
bors and friends at home, says the
Baker City Democrat. Talking with
the Democrat man yesterday after
noon. Mr. Bowen said that he was es
peclally Impressed with the snap and
business energy displayed in Port
land. Seattle, Tacoma and Belling,
ham.
One feature of the particular at
tractiveness of the places to a stran
ger. Is the paved streets, giving an
air of permanency to the city and
adding many per cents to the value
of the real estate. In Seattle and
Bclllngham, where new street Im
provements are being made, and
i-nriinnu, wnere experiments are
ever being tried along these lines,
Mr. Bowen made some study of
methods and results, and said:
"Citing Relllnghnm as an exam
ple they hnve found there that vitri
fied brick Is the only sure pavement
on the steep graded streets. On the
level streets they use asphalt which
has been found more satisfactory,
durable and cheaper In the long run
than other pavements.
"There, nnd on one or two of the
streets of Portland they nre using
the new process, an improvement
over the asphalt known as blthulitlc
process which has the appearance of
asphalt but presents a more durable
surface. The base of this pavement
Is crushed rock and It is said It will
stand hard usage for years. The cost
of this pavement laid In a town like
Bilker City, probably would not ex
ceed t2.,ri0 a squnre yard. I under
stand that Boise expects to lay some
of this new pavenvnt and will re
place old pavement with It."

BOYCOTT IS FORMIDABLE.
Ilns Never Been Supproswd In Any
Degree In China.
Kan Francisco, Dec. 6. Captain A.
C. Baker nf the United States cruiser
Raleigh, who has boon Investigating
the Chinese boycott question at.
Shanghai, arrived on the Manchuria.
Captain Baker says that while in
some resuects the agitation has sub
sided In Shanghai, the feeling at Can
ton continues very bitter. Through
out the empire the ire of merchants
and the better class has been aroused,
and an amendment of the exclusion
act seems to be the only logical way
out of the difficulty for American
merchants. People In tho Interior
have Just become aware of the boy
cott, and as a result the matter has
taken new life. Should the boycott
be declared off even at this date, it
will take more than a year to reach
the Interior places and stop the boy
cott Officially Captain Baker is bound
for Washington, where action will be
taken In an attempt to end the boy
cott. Togo Going to England.
Minister Griscom stated he believ
ed that following the close of the
Japanese-Russian war conditions be
tween the orient and America will
Improve. The Japanese are striking
nut boldly in trade lines, and their
vast Influence Is unquestionably be-
Ing felt abroad.
A few days before his departure
Mr. Griscom was in conversation with
AdmlrnJ Togo, who mentioned the
proposed trip of his squadron to
England on an official visit to King
Edward, but was not certain which
route would be selected. The Japan
ese naval hero thought It would be
possible for the fleet to make the
voyage by way of the Sues canal; re
turning he may come by way of New
York, then around Cape Horn to San
Francisco and to Honolulu.
Griscom professed no knowledge
concerning the proposed elevation of
the American minister to Japan
