Hill will build an east and west line of railway aoross Central Oregon, from On tario to Coos Bay, was stated on good authority during the past week. The projected line will connect with the Grand Trunk, the Hill road now being built up the Deschutes, and with the Ore gon lUectric m the Willamette Valley, believed to be another Hill property. This will mean a gridiron of new railroads for Oregon during the coming few, years that will bring about a development in this state never before approached.

Big Mill for Portland. Portland will have another great flour mill soon. Balfour, Guthrie & Co., wheat and flour exporters, have completed plans for erecting a big mill at tne foot of Tenth street on the Portland water front. It is expected to be ready for op erations during the coming fall and will cost about $250,000. Plans provide for a combiued mill, wharf and elevator. The contract for the wharf structure has already been let. The mill will be reached by ocean steamers and by railroad tracks as well. It will be operated by e'estric motors and will be one of the most modern flouring mill ing, plants in the country. Its daily capacity will be about 1000 barrels of flour. Several hundred acres of brush land beiog cleared planted across the Umatilla from Hermiston. Bage and river Scientists are divided oyer the relationship of Hal ley's comet to the devastations of Mount Etna, the famous old volcano in Sicily, but Professor Camille Flamarrion, the eminent French astronomer who knows more about the coming comet than perhaps any other liv ing scientist, declared that while many memorable events had trans pired simultaneous with the ap. pearance of the cmet, he did not think it was more than a coinci dence that the present trip of the star should arrive at a time when the earthly matters are somewhat unsettled. "Upon every one of 30 trips of the comet there have been events on earth happening simultaneously until the things' seem to establish a connection. "The comet will continue ad vancing towards this planet until May 18 and upon that day its tail should sweep over the earth. "When we consider that this is the 30th journey of the star I can not reconcile myself to the views of some scientists who predict dire things in the visit. Some have voiced the opinion that the world might end with the nearest approach of the star. Others that it would fly from its orbit through the counter attractions of the earth's gravity and smash our globe: others that noxious gaees in the tail will cause a great plague to fall on us. It is claimed that the Chinese stndied this comet as far back as 476 B. C. Thomson B ros.
