Nelson, president of the Oregon Trunk Line, and L. D. Greg ory, secretary of the Title Trust com pany of Seattle, and also of the Ore gon Trunk Line, arrived In The Dalles and today started on a trip over the proposed new railroad up the Del Chutes. They will go as far as Bend before returning. When interviewed as to the pur pose of their trip, Mr. Nelson said that while the conflict between their road and the government reclamation service as to right of way had been decided In their favor, there were yet matters to be settled before they could go on with their work and push out Into central Oregon. After the com pany had completed Its grading for a considerable distance last year, the reclamation service claimed that they were about to appropriate the waters of the Des Chutes .at Its mouth for the power service to aid In the Uma tilla Irrigation projects, and as the Oregon Trunk's right of way fell In side of the district made by the recla mation service, the company lost Its right to build up the Des Chutes can yon. When the true situation was apparent to settlers of the interior and they saw the only feasible route block ed, they protested to the powers' at Washington, with the result that the railroad came out on top, and the right of way was granted. While they now have- the right to proceed, Mr. Nelson says the com pany does not desire to hold up any project which will be for the benefit of the people or to hinder Irrigation, and with a view to compromising with the service - and serving the ends of both projects a further In vestigation will be made and with this the present trip has to do, though the president has doubts as to the consummation of the scheme pro posed by the reclamation. They are looking over the country with a view to building the road from Madras to Bend. Disturbed the Congrefatlon.

RICH IN UNEXPECTED - ' WONDERS AND BEAUTIES. Over Two Thousand Plants Known to Be Found In Thnt Vast Stretch Tlmt Is Not Barren Tundra and . Only Needs a Warmer Climate to Blos som Out In Tropical Luxuriance GiiHtuvo Gervals Hag Collected Siteclmens of 1300 Varieties. C. H. E. ABqulth In a Seattle paper, wants to know how many - persons know that Alaska and Yukon grew 2000 different specimens of flora? That ls a little hard. Try this one: How many persons know much about the northlend. except that It Is a lond of cold and gold? That one is easier. The answer Is: Very few. But after the summer of 1909, when the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition at Seattle Is over, there will be a large percentage of the people of the world enlightened on the subject. The pr' mary purpose of the great western world's fair now In course of prepar ation ls to exploit the wonders, oppor tunities and resources of the little known domain In the northwestern portion of North America. And In doing this It will demonstrate that Alaska- and Yukon can grow other things besides Icicles. Already has an exhibit of the flora ot the northland been collected that will be a revelation to the whole world, to the layman and botanist alike. This collection, the largest, finest and most complete of northern flora that has over been assembled, ls the work of a man who never opened a book on botany, and who has been guided solely by the quickness and correctness of his eye and the tenacity of his memory. Gustavo Gervlas, a prospector of Whltehorse, starting In the summer of 1905 and continuing last summer, received 1540 specimens of Alaska's wild groyths, 50 of which had never before been known to grow In the north. He says there are 500 more and that he will get these this coming summer. Confused the Botanists. And all this in spite of the fact that leading botanists have declared that the number ot varying examples of the vegetable kingdom near the arctic circle was not more than BOO at most! Gustave Gervals, who Is now In Se attle, was born In Quebec some 40 odd years ago. In 1897 he was carried north with the gold rush, but dropped off at Whltehorse, where he found In dications which, so he shrewdly judg ed, would develop later into values ns great as anything In the glittering El dorado 480 miles fufther down the river. So he built has cabin and set tled In the copper belt by the head waters of the Yukon. While' Gervals has not made any vast fortune, he has a comfortable stake and has justified his early judgment. Also, tike so many old prospectors, he has missed by a very narrow margin, one or two chances of a big fortune. It was only two years ago that Ger vals took up his present fad the col lectins; of specimens of nil growths of the vegetable kingdom native to Yukon and Alaska. Gervals ls not an educated botanist, but he has a love for the flowers, grasses, trees and wild shrubs that grow In profusion and whenever he meets with a speci men on his prospecting trips he car rles It carefully back to his cabin and mounts It. The result In two years Is surprls Ing. In that time, pursuing the col lectlng only as amusement and not at all as a business, Gervals has got to gether over 1500 specimens of th Alaska-Yukon flora. Indeed, so val uable ls his collection and so unsur passed that he could not afford to put It Into competition In the recent wild flower competition In Dawson City, seeing one of the conditions of the winning of the 125.0 prize was that the collection should become the posses' slon of the committee until after the Alnska-Yukon-Paclfic exposition In 1909. As the collection ls worth a couple of thousand dollars, and as he Is constantly adding to It, he did not care to allow It out of his possession until the opening of the exposition, Many Kinds "Hlbornnto" There are In all some 2000 different specimens of natural flora In Yukon and Alaska, according to this colleC' tor. Owing to a unique state of af fnlra, however. It will take some time to obtain the 600-odd that Gervals still lacks. There are many seeds that lie dormant In Yukon for years, and only appear when some peculiar condition arises. A particularly dry spring, an extra wet autumn, a warm spring, a wet summer, a late autumn, all thee conditions may bring . and develop from the ground seeds whose presence are entirely unsuspected. For Instance, In the summer of 1905. which was a particularly good one for all growth In the north, dozens of plants and shrubs that were never ' before met with In Yukon sprung up In abundance and flourished In many parts of tho coun try The following year, Just as In the summer, preceding -1905, these plants were entirely absent from the flora of the country. "I am not." said Gervals, "educated as a botanist. I took this up as a pastime. I go away sometlmos ror three weeks at a time on a prospect' Ing trip. Often I am not able to take a horse, a boat, or any conveyance with me. On those occasions I have to keep In mind a picture of each of tho 1500 specimens I have, and when ever I see a plant that seems new I pluck It and bring It back to tho cabin. I often have difficulty In car rying around In the rough places that a prospector's life naturally l.ads htm these specimens without dr. nog Ing them. But I find that my mem ory can be depended upon,, for It Is very rarely that I pick a plant think' Ing It ls a new one only to find that already I have a specimen, SO Entirely New Specimens.

One Is Prof. Mucoun at Ottawa, and the others are situated at Washington and St. Louis, respectively. I am gilng east as soon as possible to have the collection classified, as those who have seen It and who know something about the science, of plant life ta'l me that I have some 50 entirely now specimens, specimens not yet named, and It ls to the best Interests of science that there should be a record kept." The collection covers 400 fet of wall space. In spite of the fact that each specimen Is closely mounted to tha next one. There are 13 different kinds of trees in the north, a fact that Is somewhat surprising, as a few hun dred miles south. one may find eight and 10 times this number. But only the hardiest trees flourish In the north, whereas the flowers, which hnve but a summer life, do nearly as well ns their cousins In the south. The flora of the northern state's s well represented north of 53 and there are few gaps In the roll call. A beautiful portion of Gervals' ex hibit. Is the different mosses.. Some, of the northern mosses are as fine as any fur. The tree moss, black and as fine as silk, the variegated reindeer moss and the cabin moss form as fine a con trast In color, texture and growth as anything In the north. Wild Rhubarb, Hay and Clover. The wild rhubarb of Alaska Is prob ably larger than any grown outside. It hns been suggested that some Bur banR might take the Yukon and Alas kan specimens and cultivate them and form a new species for the garden. The wild hay of Yukon, too, is unsur passed. There Is also a special clover which the writer has not met with elsewhere. It is something like the red clover, but grows much nearer the ground and with a shorter, finer stem. The flower Is fully as big ns the larg est white clover, and animals seem to thrive on It as onthe best os..Uirj of the south. Indeed, three of the White Pass horse which In 1898 went astray, were captured three years later, having spent three winters out side without any shelter, and were In better condition than the stock that had spent that time In the stable. On the other hand, some stock that the writer knew of was left outsldo during the winter of 1905 and was never seen again. It was generally supposed. however, that the lean and hungry wolf pack of the spring had more to do with their disappearance than the lack of food. Perhans from a utilitarian itm,i. point the most. Interesting ot the Ger vals collection is a card containing some splendid heads of full ripened wheat, oats, barley and In fact all the cereals that men consume. As the great freight stages tore along the 600-mllo trajl, the cereals occasionally ran out of the bags In which they were fastened. When summer came they would spring up tall and glorious. In the ubsence of any specific date, Ger vals assumes from these specimens that wheat will grow along the upper Yukon. And as wheat la the most del icate of all the cereals, one may well believe that In the years to come great wheatflelds will wave where now the lonely trapper or prospector wends his way alone.
