BUILD DOWN SNAKE
CAPITALIST LOOKING OVER
ROUTE FROM HUNTINGTON.
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

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.

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.

The Seattle Star, In speaking of the

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.
