CI.m HOUSES FOR EMPLOYES.
Oregon Short Line Will Furnish Ao
cominotlations for Men.
Following the lend of the Southern
Pacific and one or two other lines, the
Oregon Short Line has decided upon
the erection of a series of trainsmen's
clubs at various points on Its lines for
the con. fort and convenience of the
unmarried men amongst Its employes,
says the Salt Lake Herald.
Plans are now being prepared and
already Pocatello has been selected as
the site of the principal club house.
Montpeller and Glenns Ferry are also
to have clubs similar In nature but
smaller in size and work on all three
building? win be commenced Just aa
fi'on as the plans are perfected, prob
ably within a few weeks.
These clubs are intended to take
the plnce of the present poorly euip
ped hotels at the various railroad dl
vltlons and other points, which are
In many cases entirely Inadaquate to
prcvlde fo rthe growing needs of the
army of trainmen In search of accom
modations for periods of from one
night to three or four days. A brake
man, tngineer or conductor arriving
at the end of his run or the point
from which he Is expected to take
out another train frequently finds
himself compelled to wait several
hours. Ho Is In many cases forced to
put up with wretched accommodations
at a high price and it Is to remedy
this state of affairs that the Oregon
Short T.lnc has decided upon the erec
tion of Its own quarters.

SCHOOF ON TnE CONGO,
Major Well Known In Pendleton
Speaks of African Question.
The Catholic Sentinel of Portland.
quotes Major Schoof, the Boer soldier
well known In this city, as follows on
the Congo question:
Major Gustav Heinrlch Schoof told
a Portland audience last Sunday of
hip travels through the Congo country.
He believes that Prof. Starr, of Chi
f aso university, who Is writing up his
Congo experiences for the American
pres, is dishonest, that he Is being
bribed to help King Leopold keep his
clutches on the Congo. But people
who know neither the one nor the
other will be Inclined to give credence
to the professor rather than to the
major.
Major Schoof seems to look to Eng
land to put Leopold out of the Congo,
for France has been given a slice of
land and some Americans have been
given valuable rubber concessions, and
so France and America, according to
Schoof, haven't any Intereit in find
ing horrors on the Congo,
It would setm the part of wisdom,
therefore, for Leopold to give Ens
land some land or rubber or both.
Put maybo England wants too much.
Perhaps, It would take a great deal
of the Congo territory to mollify Eng
land's feelings now that she has de
veloped so much righteous Indigna
tion against Belgian ' control of the
Congo.
