Will Appear Before Weston Council
April IB Plana for Pendleton.
On April II representatives of the
Walla Walla Traction company, which
Operates the electric railway between
Walla Walla and Milton, will appear
before the city council of Weston to
ask for a franchise for the construc
tion of nn electric railway through
Weston's streets, and It Is believed
that within six months the line will
be extended to that place.
Surveying crews, as announced
from time to time in the East Ore
gonlafl, have been at work between
Milton and Weston for the past month
and It Is said that practically all of
the right-of-way between the two
towns has been secured already.
Ties for 100 miles of new line have
also been ordered, and agents of the
company, while reticent as to the ex
act plans of the company, are yet very
active In the vicinity of Weston. Ath
ena and Milton, nnd are making loca
tions nnd securing right-of-way In a
business like nnd energetic manner.
Weston will grant the franchise to
be asked for. It Is thought, without
hesitation and will give the company
every Inducement to build Its line to
that place.
There Is not the least doubt about
the Intention of the Walla Walla Trac
tion company to build to Pendleton,
nccordlng to the statements of those
who are in position to know, nnd It Is
thought that as soon as the Weston
franchise Is secured thnt work will be
gin between Weston nnd Pendleton to
seenre right-of-way and franchises, if
needed.

Salem, April t. As the result of an
assault Saturday night, Mrs. Nettle
Rhoades and Lulu Oood, sisters, were
arrested this morning charged with
breaking up a religious meeting and
were brought before Judge Webster,
where they pleaded not guilty.
In the preliminary examination it
developed that the two women, ac
companfed by the husband and broth
er, met Presiding Elder W. H. Coffey
of the district Free Methodist church
and horsewhipped him.
The women allege that Coffey made
certain statements about them which
they did not like. Rev. Coffey states
the trouble grows out of charges
against J. F. Goode, upon which the
latter was suspended from the church.
He asserts that this Is the fourth
time he has been assaulted since last
November.
