It. & X. will build to Leu i 'ton from llaparia the pnsent year. n arrival in the city yesterday re ports that he met a railroad contract r nt Ranariu a few duys ago who in formed him that the work of con s: met ing the road would begin on March 1. The contractor was ut llaparia to look over the work to be done on the road in that vicinity and he stated that he had completed ar rangements to put a force of men on the road. He explained flirt her that it was the purpose of the 0. 11. & N to rush th work to completion at an e irly date and that a large numhenof m uuin uu Jjllt oil the work, fie estimated that the work would be completed in eight months and possibly within six months. Him information, he said, was that the road would be completed to Lewiston, but that a further exten sion W's in immediate contemplation, s clouded in mystery. In connection with the plans of the O. R. & N. Mie statement is repeatedly made that the company has definitely decided I to enter the eastern "Orezoii country way of the Grande liond" river from thisp intas soon as the Ruparia line is completed.

The leading article in the Fel ru.,ry McClure's tlirons some light on the two chief dii!icuhie connected with the use of Marconi's system of wire less telegraphy. These dllllcultiesare: First, that peoj lo have not under stood how w ireless messages could be kept private; and, second, that the expense of maintaining wireless teleg raphy stations lias Wen supposed to be prohibitive. The writer of the Me Clure article thinks that both diflicul k:es have been surmounted. In the first place it is of course true that the ctheric wave of a wireless messag? travel impartially in all di rections. If Marconi had been in Greenland instead of Newfoundland his chances of receiving that first his toric message would not have been ail'eeted. But nt the same time it would not liave been impossible for any instniin.'nt but hisown to receive the r.inss.-.jre in iiestK.n. the r.-as n being that the t n.n-iiiitler at Poldhu, Cornwall, and the receiver at St. Johns, IV'''!onndi::t!il, were "in turn " with e.ich othfi- and "out of tunc" .vith everything else. The one was fitted to send a -id the other to receive a ct rtain iixed number of vibrations P'T second. Xo oih'r Marconi instru ments were' so fatal.. The "tuning" svFtem irnpliu then that the new instruments shall be made in sets. Eaen set will he "tuned" to its own number of vibrations. The Uniied States navy, for instance might use instruments that transmit ted and received euietly nine Hundred nnd fifty thousand vihrutionsii second. Tiie.ie instruments couhl all eommun iate witli each other. It would be impossible, however, for other inrtru-ni-vM to Eleal their incssages. The "J."0,000 vibrations'' inMniment w iuKI ioriii s system all of their own i i to which no outsider could furce his WM V. As for (be cost of sending mer'ages by the wireless nethod, Marconi is e.v- niiiivunie. T'lat ons can .e built, he thinks, for , than 7"i,(KK while the present co-tofan Atlantic cable is between SfiJ.OOO.OOl) and fl.000 O0J. Tlte actual tolls on messaci-s will be at tlu; rate of a cent a which compared at the present rate of ) cents, is more than satisfactory. If these claims can be substantiated ihe future of w irel-su telegraphy busi ness is assured. Nothing ci'.n slop it, aim it may as well begin to receive congrutulu I ions. 'Hug-ghijj Social" a Success. The hugging il held here last night was attended by about o()!l pen ph. The alliair was a success finan cially, having been widely advertised as u scheme, to pay off" the church debt. Nearly v7. was raised. Fol low ns w( f j the rates char, ;ed. Cirls under 15 years oi age, 13c for two minutes' iiug. Girls' under 2'J years, 30 cents. Twenty to i'3 vers, 73 cents. Another man's v. ife, 1. Old maids, 3 cents and no time limit. Editors paid in advertising, but were not allowed to participate ulitil everybody else weiu through. Adelin Jh-mikeou, who preiar((l the sehi dule of prie s, was probably the most pii'.ilar of the young women. The girls of the congregation set an other liice'iiiijj for March i, but the older members say it must be called ofi as the bounds of propriety have already b'.jcn overstejpd. Last night's hugging match has widely ad vertised the alYair, and the girls say that if the one for March 1 is given, they will pay off the entire debt. The social was more largely patron ized by middle aged and old men than by the young men. Baker City Her ald. A Real Ptat? Transfer. The MeBaniel & McDonald Benl Estate firm of Wallowa sold last week jrfo the Vest Bros, of this .city, the .Tiunes Henry-mnch, on Prairie creek, of 320 acres for $U0O0. Swine I'lajue. tate Veterinarian Win. McL-an has pronounced the di-iase atfeetlng hogs in Umatilla county to he swine plague. From his investigations he believes the malady will be soon stamped out ; he a Ivises the strictest care in handling the disensul hogs, and recommends -unitary rules be observed. lYwf.
