Meantime the railroad will put every man that can De, engaged on construction work In the accessible districts. Presloent H. R. Williams, of the Washington corporation, has returned to Seattle from an Inspection trip In eastern "Washington. He went over the route of the road between the Co lumbia river and Llnd. President Williams said this morning that the contractors are rapidly getting In the bridge foundations for the Columbia river crossing and that all the sub contractors now have full crews In the field. The cessation of railroad work in the middle west and the release of men In outdoor work of this state has given the Mllwaukeo a ' chance to gather a big construction crew. Con tractors and offlclnls of the road be lieve that plenty of men will be avail able for winter work. A steam shovel and a big crew Is working from Maple valley, where the Milwaukee will leave the tracks of the Columbia & Puget Sound, toward the intake of the city's water system on Cedar river. The right of way has been cleared and grading Is being pushed. It Is not the Intention to enter the Cedar River valley until late winter or spring, when better weather will permit easier work and give better fa- cllltles for sanitation. On the west side the construction work Is to be pushed most rapidly between North Bend and the Cascades; between Ma pie valley and the intake and between Seattle and Tacoma. With the excep. tlon of a small strip the entire right of way between Seattle and Tacoma has been obtained by the Milwaukee. Track laying on the Seattle terminals has been In progress for several weeks. Preparations have been completed for building the two docxs the company will build here. The North Yakima A Valley rail road Is again open for traffic. The task of raising the steel bridge across the Naches river has been successfully accomplished, although It has taken three weeks to do the lob, and has re quired a force of 40 men with all the modern conveniences for such work to operate with. The first train will be sent over the road this afternoon, and If the bridge la adjudged safe the regular schedule will be promptly put Into effect. ' - "A Little Outcast" Tonight. Brimming over with wit and humor "A Little Outcast," which comes to the Frazer tonight for one perform ance only, haa made a hit which has no recent precedent. Hal Reld evi dently wrote It In the full enthusiasm of his success and E. J. Carpenter has provided a cast of the snuggest pos sible fit. The plot Is simple but ex citing, and bo clever Is the character drawing, and so deftly are entrances and exits handled, that there Is never any perceptible slackening of Interest. They carry an entire equipment of scenery not using any of the ' house scenery. Gorton's Minstrels December IB.

Exposed by a Landslide; In Pine Val ley Yean Ago. A cliff of chalk, a whole mountain of the soft white mineral that finds uses In the commercial world from the crayons with which little boys and girls work out laboriously their 'rlth metlc problems for "teecher," to the soft fine vehicle for face enamels, haa been discovered In the mountains that surround Pine valley and Is now taken up In mineral claims by John R. Rand, Charles F. Hyde and Henry Moody, who believe they have a for tune In the mineral, says the Baker City Herald. The mountain Is situated near the Moody home In the valley. For years the white cliff has been exposed to those vio chose to see It, and for years Its valuable deposit has been known and yet not recognized by the people of the valley. Used In the Schools. For years there has been no crayon taken Into the Pine valley for the use of the schools. Since there have been schools In the valley It Is sa'd the peo ple have gone to this cliff, cut out chalk, and used It for their black boards, yet In all that time not a claim was taken up. Messrs. Rand, Hyde and Moody be lieved that there Is considerable value In the chalk deposit and have taken up the entire deposit on mineral claims, with the Intention of working them In case the deposit can bo made to pay. t'licovorod by Water. The chalk cliff was uncovered years ago In a remarkable manner. The farmers In the neighborhood were running a big ditch around the top of the mountain to furnish water for Ir rigation. The ditch was hardly In condition to carry the heavy volume of water which followed the first sen son of Its use, and was washed out, carrying with It the whole side of the mountain and sweeping the soil clean ly from tho face of tho cliff. According to Mr. Hyde the ledge of chalk Is from 30 to 300 feet wide and covers the whole face of the moun tain, which Is on the south side of Powder river not far from tho Moody place. The chalk enn be mined easily, being simply cut out without any dif ficulty In large pieces. It Is practi cally free from grit and pieces of It taken from any place on tho surface can be rubbed in the hands to a pow der as fine as uny face powder made, not a bit of grit being exposed In the process. Allxrtn flnllHtln December 24.
