These are the plans ho far under con

Ilarriinan people. While no official an
nouncement has been made authorizing
he construction of the lines, it is an
open secret that they are under pre
paration and will he begun in a short
tyne, perhaps as soon as weather condi
tions will permit in the spring. When
they are finished and a modern servic
is instituted, then Mr. Harriman will be

The incorporation of the road by Will

ag:i, which line purported to be an ex
tension of the Springlii 1 1-Xatrun b anch
f the S iii hem 1'acific, reaching east
through the Cascade Mountains, clea'ly
established the fact it was a Central
egon road that was to be built wttl
the big sum of money set aside.
When the work is all done, Oregon
will be griduoned with roads, the long
est of which wil be the one reaching
across the state from Natron to Ontario
This road will extend from the present
terminal of the Springfield branch up
the course of the Middle Fork ,to Sum
mit Lake, or near there, and from
thence on across the state to some
point just south of Malheur Lake
around that and on up the Malheur
River to Ontario. It will be practically
300 miles in length and will open one of
the richest sections of the Northwest to
t aflic and settlement. The eurveva for
this road are all mapped out in the
Ilarrim in offices in Portland, but no in
t muation will be given out as to the Jo-
cation of the line, or the places through
which it will pass.
All during the summer surveying
parties under the direction of Engii eer
Oiaham have been working in Central
Oregon. For several months otie large
party was camped at Madras, a short
distance south of Shaniko. This partv
has since moved to LaidUw, a new sta
tion, and is still, or was a short time
"go, working towards the completion of
a North and South survey extending
from Shaniko, through the Priueville
country and on to a junction with the
main line of the Southern Pacific pass
ing through Klamath Fulls and making
the connection near the town ot Weed,
eouth of Mount Shasta.
This line will avoid the heavy grades
of the Siskious and will at the same
lime invade Central Oregon and the
Klamath courlry with its irrigated
lands, fdieep, ci.ttle and horses. When
it is computed it will be possible for the
trains to be taken over an easy grade
around the Shasta Mountains, into the
Klamath country, and either on the

l ey have, as yet. experienced no rxia-
erial increase in orders. Dealers are

In heavy-weight season, which, it i
inderstood, will take place about the
latter part of December. If substantial
orders are booked by the woolen mills,
a revival of activity in the wool trade is
practically inevitable. It the same
..pathy, as was so marked in the light
weight season, continues, it is the
opinion of dealers that clothing wools
will suffer a decline. At the present,
they are moving in a small way, but
their position is far from e atisiactory.
Owing to the extraordinary demapd for
worsteds with the corresponding insuffi
cient yardage, it is generally expected
that woolen goods will show increased
activity when the heavy-weight samples
have been examined.
"Sales during the week have been
confined to small quantities, not manv
having touched the lOO.OC.Vponnd point.
Even on that small point they have not
been numerous. The demand for
worsted wools, however, is active, but
they are in very li uited supply. Hold
ers of these wools experience no diffi
culty in obtaining their ow n pi ices.
It is quite probable that none will be
left at tbe close of the year."

nook, Or., vice Joseph T. Bridges, te-
rnoved.

Mr. Henry's resignation is the result
of the conclusion of his work in investi
gating the land frauds, on which he has
been engaged as District Attorney since
he superseded John II. Hall, to facili
tate his investigation. Mr. Hail was
summarily removed. Mr. Heney took
charge of the office a few days later,
and has had charge of the investigations
and prosecutions which have led up t
the numerous land fraud cases in the
courts of that state. Mr. Hall's re
moval occurred last winter, following
charges ot obstruction of evidence in
the land cases.
Receiver Booth was indicted la6t sum
mer for alleged participation in the
frauds.

Government will not bung Kepnserjta-
t t.ye Hermann to trial, either m Port
land or 'A ashington until atter the ad
journment of this se.-aiou of Congre 8.
Hermann's attorneys have intiuia'ed
that the) are in uo hurry to have their
client brought into couit; in fact, Judge
Gearin stated that Herm.uiii would ba
' just as well pleased if his case were
never brought to trial."
It is of course possible for Hermann
to avoid trial utitil after Cong'ess ad
journs, if he cares to, and it is bebvtd
this fact will partly contribute to the
postponement of his case
