Copper Belt In the Seven DevlU and Iron Dyke DbtUictg Slay Ilo Tapped by a Lino of Railroad New York CapUalUt Going Over Uio Route of the Proposed Line and Aim Inves ' tigntlng the Copper District. The Baker City Herald, In speaking ot the report that a railroad will be built down Snake river from Hunting ton to the Seven Devils copper region, thin season, says: For several days there have been rumors circulated to the effect that the construction of the railroad down the Snake river to the Iron Dyke mines had been commenced. Tester day It wag rumored that three grad ing outfits were at work near Hunt ington and more would be put on dally. This last Information was said to have come from Huntington by telephone. These rumors have caused consid erable excitement and have been wide ly circulated as truth. It would have been good news had It been true, but the Herald has taken occasion to as certain the truth regarding the ru mors and finds that they are without foundation. There are no grading camps working on the proposed road near Huntington, nor any place along the line. However, there is a piece of news which Is very important in connection with this affair. One of the princi pal men of New York Is now making a trip over the proposed route down the Snake river. He left Huntington a few days ago and is expected to re turn to that city this afternoon or to morrow morning. Upon his return It Is expected that there will be some definite Information In regard to this road. But for the present, at least, there Is nothing doing. The advent of the smelter trust Into the Baker mining district has awak ened a new Interest and it is believed that there will be great developments. A New York man representing large copper Interests arrived in Baker a few days ago and t now looking over the copper belt. While he did not want his name mentioned at this, time he said the people whom he repre sented wanted all the copper they could get and if there was copper out on the belt they would certainly buy It. The outlook Is very encouraging for big developments this year. The re turn of the Iron Dyke man from his trip down the Snake will be awaited with interest. The operations of the smelter trust will be another big thing for the district and the Interest mani fested by the New York copper men means a great deal. WORK ON THE ELECTRIC LINE. Spokane & Inland Han Reached Dirt Throwing Stage. The Nex Perce correspondent of the Lewlston Tribune has as follows to say i about the new electric line from Spokane south: ' The electric line surveyors yester "day completed the permanent location to a point two miles this aide of Dub lin, the terminal. ' The Evening Teller representative visited the camp on Mastersou'l place and was shown the plat of the line as surveyed by Engineer Hill, Engineer Wood explained that the present sur vey was only following the old line in j hral directions, as they were able o reduce most of the curves. It Is Mr. Wood's policy to reduce the expense of construction as much as possible and to this end a new route will probably be Surveyed from a point southwest of Dublin and pick up the old survey a few miles south of Ilo. This line would leave Ilo two miles to the north, thereby saving a distance of six miles; however, Ilo is not to be left out entirely, as Presi dent Thompson stated that It was the Intention of the company to complete the road to Melrose and this branch would go to Ilo. Mr. Wood stated that a permanent camp would be established two miles west of Dublin the first of the week, at which point they would be able to TO YOU GET UP WITH A XyAME BACK?

John Reese, a farmer living half a mile north of town, haa secured the first contract for grading out of Nex Perce, and began work Monday noon. This contract includes the grading from the flour mill to the grandstand at the fair grounds. Murphy Price has also secured a contract for the r.ock work In the cut east of the race track and will start the work there the flrBt of the week. President Thompson made arrange ments for letting these contracts be fore leaving Nex Perce. HOME OLD HORSES. r Mitre nt The Dalles la Now 11 Years of Age and, Is Sound Yet. Dr. F,. J. Young, formerly stock In spector of Wasco county and a resi dent of The Dalles, but who now makes his home In Salem, was talking to a Statesman reporter . about old horses and told some Interesting facts about them, among which was that one of the oldest horses he knows of now In service is owned in The Dalles. He says: "Some time ago I read an article about la horse being 23 years old and In good sound shape, but I think I can beat that some, aa I have traveled around the country a great deal and have seen several old ones, for In stance, Mr. McDanlel, of Rlckerall, has a mare that was, 16 years old last spring and It la in use yet and looks aa If she might be good for four or five years yet. She comes to Salem and goer .to Dallas each week. A Mr. White, of the same place, has a horse that is 36 years old. There Is a mare at Perrydale that was 31 last spring. Mr. Falkner, of Sheridan, had her In his livery stable for a number of years, afterward traded to a blacksmith at Perrydale who bred her to a thoroughbred and she now has a fine filly at her side. One mare I know of In The Dalles Is ST. She is owned by French ft Co., bankers, and last March when I saw her she made Mr. French a good driv ing horse, and was without a blemish. I dressed her mouth and found as good a pair of molars as 1 ever saw In a mare 8 years old." I SHEEP GUT IN DEMAND. Germany , Needs More Seringa for Mimical Instruments. Consul Hurst, of Plauen, has made an investigation of the sources of sup ply of the materials entering Into the manufacture of musical Instruments In that district of Germany, which has revealed the fact that nearly 70,0011 pounds of sheep gut are used annu ally for strings. He writes: Nearly the whole of this quantity is Imported from abroad, chiefly from Russia, which furnishes about 64,000 pounds, the balance coming from England, Australia and India. The hope that some managers of great American abattoirs would care to ex amine this field for an article that may be more profitably disposed of than at home has led this office to ask Consular Agent Fiedler, of Markneu klrrhen, to make inquiries of the local manufacturers. He has been Informed by them that English sheep gut, sold by three-score and hundred weight, Is preferred to all other kinds and very high prices are paid for It, different grades sell- ng at 3B.9B, 67.14 ana 7.61 per kil ogram 2.7uib pounas;. i -me gut oi me cign sheep is of fine white color and very durable. In Russia, where the sheep are prln- Ipally slaughtered on account of their meat, only young animals are killed, whose gut is lighter and softer than that of old sheep, and which is pur chased by the stringmakers at about 34.28 per kilogram. The Australian arlety brings 33.81 per kilogram, and that from Indian 33.30. RESERVOIR BROKE. Structure Damaged and Property Be low Destroyed. The Dutch Flat Reservoir and Irri gation compnny's dam on Muddy creek about 12 miles from here, broke about o'clock Thursday morning and the flood of water turned loose upon the neighborhood In the valley below caused great alarm, besides doing much damage, says the Haines Rec ord. The dam had been constructed at an expense of several thousand dollars by a number of the well-to-do and progressive farmers who have Inter ests In that section of country, some of whom reside hero in Haines, all of whom will suffer considerable loss and Inconvenience. While there was no one In attendance, the head gates had. we understand, been left up last fall and It is thought some person to mis. chief Inclined, with malace afore thought, had lately shut down the gate. While It Is reported that $10,- 000 would not more than reimburse the damage done to farms In the lo callty below the dam, it is impossible to obtain an accurate estimate. I-ater advices signify thnt the water has cut a channel through the side and that the main dam is still Intact. NORTHERN PACIFIC CUTS RATES. Rates on All Buildings Material for North Yakima Reduced. The Northern Pacific Railway com pany granted a special freight rate from Sound points to North Yakima on certain kinds of building and pav Ing material, says the Yakima Repub lie. The rates became effective May 2, 1906, and will be of great benefit to the people of this city. , Paving brick rates have been re duced from 16 cents to 9 cents per 100, minimum weight capacity of car. The rate on common brick was re. duced this spring to 11 cents, but now the rato is uniform at 9 cents. The pressed brick rate has been re- duced from 15 to 12 cents, the mini mum weight being 40,000 pounds. On cement the rate haa been re duced from 22 to 17 cents per 100, the minimum weight the capacity of the car. These rates were obtained through a request made by a committee of the Yakima Commercial club, re-lnforced by strong recommendations of Agent Meeks, with the object of making paving cheaper for this city should the work of Improving Yakima ave nue be taken up. The reduction on paving brick amounts to 6 cents per 100. This would be a considerable sum in the handling of hundreds of thousands of brick that would be re quired for the avenue If brick should be used. The Northern Pacific has made some reductions In the past six months on other material from coast points and It Is probable that there will be a scaling down on shipments of cer tain kinds of products from the val ley the rates on which are still consid ered to be too high. WEATHER AND CROP REPORT. Temperature Dangerously Near the Frost Mark. The past week was dry and warm. A few small showers occurred in the coast counties and also In the foot hills ot the Blue mountains; but the amount of rainfall was Inconsequen tial, and droughty conditions now pre vail in all parts of the state. The morning, sb a rule, were cool, with temperatures dangerously near the frost mark, but, fortunately, the dryness of the atmosphere prevented from from forming except In a very few localities, and in these places the frosts that occurred were too light to cause serious damage. The after noons were warmer than usual, es pecially during the opening and clos ing days of the week. Oentle north westerly winds prevailed during the entire week, except in the Columbia River valley, where they were dis agreeably high on one or two days, but not suffilcently high to be de structive. Plateau District. La Grande, Union county, W. A. Worstell The temperature was very equable during the week. A light frost occurred Friday night, and on Saturday morning thin ice was ob served In exposed places. There was no rain. The prevailing winds were from the northwest. On Thursday there was a heavy dust storm. Baker City, Baker county, local of fice, weather bureau No rain fell during the week, and there was con tinuous sunshine, except Tuesday, which was a cloudy day. The tem peratures were above normal, except on Friday and Saturday, when cooler weather prevailed. The early morn ing temperatures on those days were favorable for frost, but the dry at mosphere prevented its deposit. Columbia River Valley. Hood River, Wasco county, D. N. Byerlee The weather was warm and dry, with rather strong westerly winds. The Dalles, Wasco county, 8. L. Brooks Weather warm and pleasant, with high westerly winds Tuesday and Wednesday.

Four hundred sugar beet workers. all foreigners, started from Argo this morning for Fort Collins and other points in the northern part of the state, along the Colorado & Southern railway, where they will work all summer, says tne Denver rosu a tralnload of sugar-beet workers have been carried Into the state from Ne braska by the Burlington, and three carloads of Mexican sugar-beet work. ers arrived from near Trinidad a few days ago. The force 6f foreigners will be In excess of those used In the beet fields last year. I The foreigners starting from Argo this morning have 15 carloads of household goods and two carloads of livestock. Each year on the pilgrim ages to the northern part of the! state the foreigners carry all their house hold goods, dogs and cattle. The freight charges eat up much of their wages. Were it not that the sugar-beet workers use every member of the family in the work of caring for the beets, the pay would be but little bet ter than that paid the natives of Cuba and the Philippine islands, It is said. A certnin sum per acre is paid for tending the sugar beets. If men had to be employed on each acre I of land their wages for the season would be but a mite a day. By utilising every member of the family, even the 8-year-old children, and by living on practically nothing, the head of the family Is able to clean up a few hun dred dollars a season. During the winter months most of the beet-sugar workers return to their homes. Divorce Suit Filed. In the circuit court yesterday, Louetta Sloan commenced divorce proceedings against John R. Sloan.

Rush of Travel This Spring PromlHCH to Ilo Very Heavy Steamer Ac commodations All Taken Long In Advance of Sailuuc PatMengcr Rat cm Are 100 for lint CIuhh, Up per; $75 for First Claw, Second Deck, and CIS for Steerage. Travel from the northwest cities to Nome will be very heavy this sea son according to reports from Seattle. Although the demand for labor Is very sharp all over the northwest, hun dreds of laborers will go to Alaska to prospect and work on the Tanana and Fairbanks railroad, which Is being rushed to completion. ' The Seattle Star, In speaking of the northward rush, says: ' The Nome passenger business be gun this year earlier than formerly and inquiry this morning at the dif ferent offices of the steamship com panies engaged In the Nome business brought out the fact that sales had been phenomenal. On the steamer Senator, of the Pa cific Coast Steamship Co., the first class accommodations, both on the upper and main decks, have been sold. The second class accommoda tions are also filling up rapidly. , The Ohio, of Schuback & Hamil ton, has no accommodations on the upper deck, all having been sold and a large proportion of the main deck have been taken. The Victoria, Northwetern Steam shlpu company, is sold out of first class accommodations. Many depos its have already been received for second class reservations. Steerage Business Heavy. This morning the different agents stated that the steerage business was also receiving much attention, one large company having been booked for the Senator. Steerage passengers generally leave their tickets until the last, and when the first steamers sailed north last year there were many who were left. ' The Ohio has been advertised to make six round trips this season and already much speculation has been given to which will be the lucky steamer this year to hold the record. The Senator and Victoria are also scheduled for six round trips. Previ ous seasons have seen only one steam er making this number of voyages. The present passenger tariffs which have been decided on were today put Into effect and are as follows: First class, upper deck, '3100; first class, main deck. 375; second class, 365, and steerage, $35.
