NORTHERN" PACIFIC TO
CONNECT WITH P. & L N.
Extension of Lino Southward Will
Give Idaho People a Shorter Route
Through the State Line Will Be
Built to Meadows and Thus Close
the Idaho Gap.
The Boise Capital News says of the
extension of the Northern Pacific
railroad from Grangeville to Mead
ows, Idaho, to connect with the P. &
I. N.:
. Direct communication with the
northern part of the state, the open
ing of another Inland empire with
Boise as the metropolis and a saving
of several hundred miles In travel In
order to reach northern Idaho, are a
few of the great advantages to be
realized in the course of a year with
the completion of the Northern Pa
cific extension from Grangeville to
Meadows, and of the P. & L N. exten
sion from Evergreen to Meadows.
Work Is in progress on the North
ern Pacific extension, a force of 500
teams and scrapers and about 600
men being placed at work about two
weeks ago near White Bird on the
Salmon valley on the right-of-way
from Grangeville to Meadows. It is
not anticipated that the read will be
completed this fall, but it is stated
that the grading will be done and all
preparation made for operating the
line next year, the P. & I. N. exten
sion will be made to connect with the
Northern Pacific at Meadows.
With the construction of the road
completed through the rich Salmon
river valley, an extension of the P. &
I. N. will' probably be made down
Long Valley along the Payette lakes
to Emmett.
This latter extension is proposed,
which the Northern Pacific extension
it is reliably reported, will be com
pleted by next year, and direct com
munication by rail opened and estab
lished between these two widely sep
arated parts of the state has been
maintained only by going through the
adjoining states to the west and thus
traveling about three times as far
by rail in an Indirect and tiresome
Journey.
Large numbers of men and teams
with graders have been flowing into
the Salmon river country for the past
two weeks to take up work on the
grade for the Northern Pacific ex
tension. The contractor having charge of
the grading force, has secured pasture
for 1000 head of horses while con
struction camps have been cheated
along the right-of-way of the pro
posed rpad, for board and sheltering
a force of about 600 men that Is em
ployed grading for the right-of-way.

FIRE ON AMERICAN FLAG.
Rebelt in Peru Kill North Yakima
Boy's Chum.
North Yakima, Wash., July 15.
William McCully, son of J. A. McCul
ly, writes from Cerro de Pasco, Peru,
where he has been engaged in rail
road work, that during the revolution
ary fighting his roommate was killed
and the American flag fired upon by
the rebels.
It appears that the rebels were ap
proahclng the town and making good
progress until they reached a point
100 miles from the city, where they
required a new locomotive. The
trainmen ran the engines into Cerro
de Pasco and when the revolution
ists cut the wires O. B. Chaleen, an
American and superintendent of tele
graphs, took an engine with a big
American flag mounted on the pilot,
and started out to make repairs.
The locomotive ran Into an ambush
of the rebels and Chaleen was killed.

Dozen Buyers Complain of

Portland, July 15. More than
dozen disconsolate, disgusted and vie

cluttered the lobby outside the office
of United States John McCourt Sat
urday morning. Each one had been
buncoed for not less than 1200 and
two were stung to the tune of $400.
Back of their appearance is the
well-worn story of fllmflammed peo

Oregon's heavily timbered acres in the
Willamette valley. It Is not the first
time the authorities have heard the
tale, and may not be the last, but

The new Hood River county which
has Just been created by virtue of the
untiring efforts of the people of
Hoor River, although the smallest
county in the state, is one of the
wealthiest.
Its nsscssed valuation for the year
1907 was 12,763,259, although its to
tal area is but COO square miles.
Wasco county, from which county
the new Hood River county has been
cut, contains three times the terri
tory and less than half the assessed
valuation of property. The popula
tion of the new county is about 7600,
while that of Wasco county will be
nearer 12,000.
The largest town in the new coun
ty is, of course, Hood River. Cas
cade Locks ranks second, while
Mount Hood nnd Dee, in the Upper
Hood River valley, and Wyeth and
Vlento, on the O. R. & N. are the
smaller towns situated therein.
A new $30,000 high school is now
in 'course of construction at' Hood
river, while there are 20 other school
houses In the county.
The amount of business given' the

to Nanaimo harbor, at 2 o'clock yes
terday and panic seizing 50 horses,
which were tethered on her forward
deck, the animals were in a moment
turned Into a fighting, kicking and
squirming mass, with the result that
many were killed and others fatally
Injured. It was impossible for the
crew to venture among the beasts for
a long time, owing to the fury with
which they were kicking.
All the animals were crowded over
on the port side and Inside of 15 min

either dead or in such shape that they
had to be shot at daylight. Out of
the 50 head on board, not more than

EXAMINATION FOR RHODES
SCHOLARSHIP IX THE FALL
University of Oregon, Eugene, July
15. The examination for the Rhodes
scholarship will hereafter be held In
the autumn Instead of In January, as
heretofore. The change has been
made for the reason that the new
date will allow the successful candi
date much more time to select and
arrange, for the college he wishes to
enter at Oxford. Unless selections
are made quite early, candidates are
often compelled to accept second
ohoice of colleges. The next Rhodes
examination will be held In the fall
of 1909, probably at the University
of Oregon. Oregon will have two
scholars at Oxford next year, Mr. Ed
ward Wlnans of Willamette Univer
sity, who was appointed In 1907, and
Mr. Wlster Johnson of the University
of Oregon, appointed this year.

Little attention was paid to the aged

of the national leaders. Although
stripped of much political power and
harassed by domestic entanglements,

secured $6 from the pockets of his
victims.
The holdup, which was of a daring
character, occurred on the Selah road
at Dimmlck's hopyard. The three men
were riding In a buggy on their way

the three men with his gun, demand

CHARLES PIERCE RETURNS,
With Family Will Spend Summer In
Blue Mountains.
Charles Pierce, brother of Walter
Pierce, and a former resident of this
city, passed through Pendleton yes
terday .with his family on his way to
Weston mountain, where he will camp
during the next two' months.
The following Is taken from the
Los Angeles Times.
That, a man should be happy leav
Ing Los Angeles seems a paradox, yet
C. M. Pierce, originator of the Bal
loon route trips, Is that man. He was
busy yesterday closing up his affairs
preparatory to leaving this morning
for a four-months' vacation which will
be shared by his wife and two little
girls.
"I have found the true secret of
happiness," said Mr. Pierce as he
looked out under the peak of his bal
loon cap. "With southern Califor
nia, the seat of a mighty empire that
Is to be, and Los Angeles to have a
million people In 10 years" ho paus
ed for breath "and Balloon Routes
In every city of any size in the coun
try, and myself and the family going
on a long outing, why shouldn't I be
happy?"
Mr. 'Fierce, who started the Balloon
Route here four yeas ago, now finds
that he may exteno the tourist trip
scheme in many other places, partic
ularly tourist points and this, is what
he will devote his entire attention to
when his four months' vacation ends.
When he began here four years ago
he hesitated a long time before he
hired one man to assist him at $2 a
day.
"My present plans will require the
services of nearly one thousand men
where I expect to establish trips,"
said he,
He would have gone on the outing
June 1, bt did not want the Fourth
trip of the orphans over the route to
be held without him. The vacation
will be spent at a mountain camp In
northeastern Oregon, 20 miles from
Walla Walla, Wash. After the camp
breaks he will visit the principal
cities of the country, returning by way
of Florida and the south. During
their absence, the family will visit
his mother, sister and brothers of Mr.
Pierce, who live In Oregon.
