NOT BUILDING LOGGING ROAD

dent of the Pacific Railway & Naviga-
tion company, propounded when asked
in regard to report emanating from
Astoria to the effct that the line being
built from Eillsboro to Tillamook will
be nothing more nor less than a log
ging road; that it is not intended for
passenger and freight business.
"Why, it is absurd," Mr. Lytle con
tinued, and laughed heartily. "Of
course the report came from Astoria;
Astoria does not want the road built at
all. It never did.
"We are pushing the work as rapid
ly as possible, and exriect to have
trains in ODeration bv Ancmnt 1. At
present 1,500 men are engaged on the
work, and thev are certain!, Hnino-

curves, ana loo steep a grade to make
it practical iorjpaasenger traffic," Mr.
Lytle was told.
"Curves and grades? We have no
steeper grade than the maximum of
the Southern Pacific to California,
which is 3 per cent, and as for curves,
there is not one exceeding 15 degrees.
You must not lose sight of the fact
that we bave 18 tunnels on that stretch
of road from Eillsboro to Tillamook.
These tunnels Bhoudld do away with
ome of the grade that seems to fright
en those who might have started the
rumor.
"The road will cost in the neighbor
hood of $4,000,000, including the cost of
equipment, and passenger and freight
trains will be operated to supply every
demand.
VAs far as logging goes, we do not
own a tract of timber in that district.
Of course, it taps a rich timber coun
try, and logs will, of course, be haul
ed if they are offered, but it will only
be part of the business."
Douglas Hoads improved.
Koseburg Douglas county made
greater progress in the year 1909 than
in any year in its history. Over
$106,000 was expended during the
year on the improvement of the county
roads. It is said that in a few years
Douglas county will become as fam
ous for its good roads as it was for its
bad ones. Commercial clubs have been
organized in the smaller towns, such as
Oakland and Glendale, and the Rose
burg club occupies as fine club rooms
as can be found in the state, outside of
Portland. In JRoseburg alone nearly
tauu.uuu was expended in improve
ments. Eighteen blocks of hard sur
face pavement were laid at a cost of
over $70,000, and it is expected that
about twice that amount will be ex
pended for the same purpose during
1910. Water mains and telephone poles
were replaced over the entire business
section at a great cost to the respec
tive CJtnpanies.
Many new buidings were erected, in
cluding the new four-story Masonic
temple, costing $2o,000; anew Pres
byterian church, at a cost of nearly
J15,UU0, and Hon. J. H. Booth's new
residence, built at a cost of $17,000.
About two miles of new 12 foot ce
ment sidewalks were laid in the paved
district.
Northern Umatilla Gets Telephone.
Pendleton After many rears of
waiting the Holdman country is to
have telephone communication with
the outside world. The work of dis
tributing the poles has been started
and the stringing of wires will follow
in a few days. It is said that the line
will be in operation by the first of Feb
ruary. This line is considered import
ant for the reason that it will cover
a vast expanse of country which has
hitherto been without wire communi
cation. The main line will be 20 miles
long, will consist of four wires and
will be put up in a very substantial
manner. In addition to the main line
there will be numerous feeders added
from time to time until the whole
northwestern part of the country is
covered. To begin with, 18 ranchs
will be supplied with the phones, but
it is expected that this number will be
rapidly increased.
Woodburn Asks $10,000 for Armory
Salem F. W. Settlemier, captain of
Company I, Oregon National guard, lo
cated at Woodburn, has asked the
county court for Marion county for an
appropriation of $10,000 for the pur
pose of erecting an armory in that
city. Captain Settlemier sets forth
in his petition that the state military
board will set aside a similar sum so
that a creditable building can be built
at Woodburn adequate for all pur
poses. Wallowa Postoffice Goes Up.
Wallowa Postmaster Tulley has re
ceived notice that the Wallowa post
office will be placed in the third class
list January 1, and that bis salary will
be increased to $1,200 per annum.
The advance is due to the rapid in
crease of business which this office has '
anown.
Orchards in Linn.
Albany The planting of thousands
of acres of orchards in Linn county,
through the organization of orchard i
companies, is the real awakening spir-
It created during tbe year, and which
will mean the dividing up of the pres
ent large tracts of land.

to como into the project. Petitions for
the creation of the proposed district

Wallowa's Lumber Industry.
Wallowa In 1909 the chief advance
ment in the county was the lumber in
dustry. At the beginning of the sea
son there were only three small mills
in the immediate vicinity of Wallowa;
at the close of 1909 there were ten
mills, many of which have a capacity
of 20,000 feet per day. The largest
of these mills is the .Mbley-Mimnaugb
Lumber company's mill, located in this
city. It is a modern band mill, with
a capacity of 50,000 feet per day
These mills will market more than
30,000,000 feet of lumber annually, all
of which will be sent from Wallowa.
As the lumber industry increased
rapidly in the past year the population
of the county increased. Wallowa ad
vanced from a little bamlet to a mod
em town with many magnificent resi
dences.
Wallowa county built a modern court
house within the past year, which is
located at Enterprise.
Pendleton Debates to Start.
Pendleton The preliminary debat
ing for the high school league will com
mence on the evening of January 14,
and on that evening Pendleton will
have two teams on the rostrum. One
will debate the Athena high school in
this city, while the other will meet
Weston. The subject for debate is,
"Resolved, That life imprisonment,
with restrictive power of pardon,
should be substituted for capital pun
ishment in the state of Oregon."

WHEEE MEN WILL FLY.
Aviation Field at Los Angeles Is Ideal
Place.
Los Angeles, Jan. 10. On a level and
broad field, where but a week ago a
herd of cows grazed in peace, a minia
ture city of tents and plain wooden
structures today marks the spot where
the first aviation meet in America is
to begin, and above which the first
competitive trials of speed and endur
ance between beavier-than-air machines
will be seen on this continent.
Aviation camp is 13 miles from this
city on the lines of the Pacific Elec
tric extending to the numerous beach
resorts along the Pacific coast. On a
stretch of high ground at one side of
the field a high grandstand has been
erected, rising 40 feet in the air and
extending for 700 feet along the course
over which the trials of air craft and
speed contests will be held.
Stretching out across the aviation
field from a point in front of the
grandstand is a long row of tents that
now cover numerous flying machines
and will house many more during the
ten days of the aviation meet. On an
other side of the broad field another
line of tents are placed and here the
United States armv diricible balloons
and many other dirigible airships are
oeing assembled, ready to be inflated.
Aviation camp is on ground made his
toric in the days of the Spanish Dons.
It is a part of the famous Dominguez
ranch given to Lieutenant Juan Jose
Dominguez of the army of Spain in
me year x.s-t, ana its extent was de
termined in the grant bv a clause which
said that the gallant soldier, for valiant
services, was entitled to as large a
tract as he could ride around between
sunrise and sunset. The soldier waited
until one December 21 to ride the boun
daries of his land.
PRET.TMTN'ABY FLIGHT A SUCCESS
Three Men and Two Women Make
Short Balloon Voyage.
Los Angeles, Jan. 10. The big bal
loon "Xew York," carrying its owner,
Clifford B. Harmon; Mrs. Alvin French
and her niece, Jean French, as passen
gers, and George B. Harrison and
George Duesaler, balloon pilots, landed
at Casaverduga, in the Glendale val
ley, at 4:47 yesterday afternoon after
flight of nearly two hours.
The landing was made with ease, and
no discomfort or danger attended any
portion of this, the initial flight of the
aeronauts who have gathered here for
tne aviation meet events.
An altitude of 5000 feet was attained
and observations were taken bv Mr.
Harrison and Mr. Duessler.
W hen the great cas-ba? was cut
loose at Huntington park at 2:55 in
the afternoon, its flight was almost
straight up until it had attained a
height of 1000 feet. Then a stronz
current bore it to the northward until
it passed out of Bight beyond the haze
that lay over the mountains.
Spectators of the flight believed it
was the intention of the aeronauts to
attempt to sail over the Sierra Madre
mountains, but those on board say this
would have been impossible. At a
height of 5000 feet, another current
took the balloon to the westward, and
when they were over the Glendale val
ley the aeronauts decided to come to
earth. A distance of about 25 miles
was covered.
BOSTON HAS FIERCE CAMPAIGN
No Party Lines, But $250,000 Is Spent
by Various Candidates.
Boston, Mass., Jan. 10. Boston Sat
urday night wound up, except for the
finishing touches, the fiercest municipal
campaign in its history. The election
Tuesday will be the first under the new
non-partisan plan and for a non-parti
san campaign this has certainly been a
revelation to the sponsors of the new
order of things.
One of the candidates for mavor con
fesses he has spent nearly tlO.OOO. and
he accuses bis chief opponent of having
spent more man suu,uuu. This charge
is not denied. The other two candi
dates, without a ghost of a chance of
election, have spent about (5000. The
various candidates for the city council
nave prooaoiy spent sU,UUU, so that
the cost of the campaign to the various
aspirants figures up close to a quarter
of a million dollars.
The ballots on Tuesday will bear the
names of the candidates without party
or other designation, and the campaign
has been non-partisan except so far as
the known political affiliations of the
candidates have influenced voters.
White Rhino Hunt Begun.
Butiaba, Jan. 10. The Smithsonian
African scientific expedition arrived at
Rhino camp, tbe basis for the hunt for
the eargerly-sought white rhinoceros,
today. Rhino camp is on the Congo
side of the Bar-El-Jabel river. The ex
pedition, as made up in the present
hunt, consists of Colonel Roosevelt,
Kermit, Mearns, Heller, Loring, Cun
ninghame and 30 porters and boys.
They have 200 loads of supplies. The
party has temporarily left Uganda for
the territory remarkable for the pres
ence of the white rhinoceros.
Jury Justifies Lynching.
Cairo, 111., Jan. -10. The grand jury
which investigated the murder of Miss
Anna Pelley and the lynchings of
Henry Salzner and Will James, the lat
ter a negro, adjourned today. The re
port stated that it was evident the so
called lawless element was not con
cerned in the lynchings, and "we be
lieve no innocent man met his death at
the hands of the mob." Salzner was
accused of murdering his wife. James
was suspected of causing Miss Pelley 's
death.
Hookworm ln College.
Xew Orleans, La., Jan. 10. Constern
ation prevails among the 100 or more
students of Tulare college following the
examination of every student for hook
worm. It is announced that more than
a third of the members of the class
were found to be Infected.

CHAPTER XIL
Back ln bright Paris, now decked ln
her garden-party dress of chestnut
blossoms, lilacs, and laburnums, some
six or seven months afterwards.
Mrs. Savllle had spent a very tran
quil winter. She had rarely been free
from Irritation for so long a period.
For a week or two at Christmas she
had been a good deal tried by a visit
from her son, who, to her surprise,
brought his cousin, George Lumley,
with htm. That over, she settled down
again to her books, her fancy-work, of
which she was rather proud, her game
of whist with some old Grafs and Bar
ons attached to the little court, some
of whom had dabbled ln diplomacy
and even spent a few years ln London,
and frequent visits to the opera, for
almost her only real pleasure was mu
sic. If, six months before, Mrs. Savllle
had missed her companion when she
was absent for a couple of days, tbe
Idea of parting with her now would
have struck her with dismay. She had
softened gradually but considerably-
so gradually that Hope Desmond had
to look back and recall her first lm
presslons to measure the change.
The weather was fine, the sky blue,
and sunshine beautified all things. It
seemed Impossible not to partake of
the general exhilaration which pervad
ed the atmosphere. Yet Mrs. Savllle's
expression. If less hard, was Infinitely
sadder than formerly, and, though
Miss Desmond's eyes were calm, and
her air composed, there were shadows
beneath the former and a somewhat
worn look ln her expressive face. She
was thinner, too. as If she had borne
some mental strain.
It was afternoon, and the Champs-
Elysees were crowded with streams of
equipages pouring out to the Bols
Stemming this current. Mrs. Savllle
and Hope returned from their earlier
drive, and on arriving at the hotel
found another open carriage drawn up
at the entrance, from which a gor
reously-dressed lady was leaning while
she spoke to the porter. He made a
gesture towards the new arrival
whereupon the lady looked round and
displayed the well-known features of
Miss Dacre.
How fortunate!' she cried. "Here
open the door; let me out!" And she
sprang upon the ground.
My dear Mrs. 8avllle, I only Just
heard by the merest accident that you
were in Paris. We have been at Pau
for two months, and are on our way
home."
"Oh, Indeed," returned Mrs. Savllle.
rather dryly, as she descended very de
liberately and submitted to be kissed
by her young friend. "I am sorry for
your poor father. Why could you not
let him rest ln peace among his tur
nips and mangel-wurxels?"
"Why, I must thlnL of myself, you
know. How do you do, Hope? I am
so glad to see you! I can't say you
are looking very flourishing. I sup
pose you are coming in, so I can pay
you a nice visit, though I have a hun
dred and one things to do. I suppose
you have your old rooms, Mrs. Savllle.
We are at the Bristol. I wonder you
stay here, it Is so slow."
"Quite fast enough for me; but come
up-stalrs."
"She la aa cross as ever." whispered
Miss Dacre to Hope as they ascended
to Mrs. Savllle's apartments. "I don't
wonder at your looking worn out."
Hope laughed and shook her head.
"You are comfortable enough here.
I must say." resumed Miss Dacre, look
ing round the handsomely-furnished
room, which was sweet with flowers
and flooded with soft light, the strong
sunshine filtering through the outer
blinds.
"Well, dear Mrs. Savllle. and how
are you after burying yourself alive In
Germany all the winter? It Is such a
queer place to go to."
I like Germany, and I am remark
ably well."
Well, you don't look so. We had a.
wild time at Herondyke. I was there
for nearly a month. Lady Olivia Is
quite too good-natured. Then she and
the girls came over to Castleton, but
your son persuaded George Lumley to
go with him to Dresden. A great mis
take! Captain Lumley was quite cross
when he returned said It was a God
forgotten hole! I met Mr. Vlgnolles
at Pau" etc.. etc. And Miss Dacre
turned on a rapid flow of gossip. As
soon as she made a pause for breath.
Mrs. Savllle said, wearily:
Miss Desmond, the tea is ready.
Give me a cup."
By all means. The Parisians have
Improved Immensely, but they have
not arrived at the height of good af
ternoon tea yet"
Silence on the part of Mrs. Savllle.
while Miss Dacre alpped her tea.
When do you come back to Lon
don, Mrs. Saviller
Not this year. I may go to Inele-
Deld in the autumn."

When Hope returned to Mrs. Sa

mv,U8 er out-door garb and arrang
ing her mistress on the sofa as if for
a aiesia.
"I would have saved you from this

feared to utter a word thnt nkn

bish to me. Miss Desmond. It Is not
like your usual quiet good sense. Has
Mr. Rawson placed you with me to
plead Hugh's cause? If so. It Is wast
ed Ingenuity. I will not be talked
over; nor does Hugh think It worth
while to make any attempt at recon
ciliation." "Probably he fears It would only
embitter you were he to try."
"No; It Is pride and obstinacy. He
has something of my own nature. How
proud I was of him once!"
"And so you will be again," cried
Hope, cheerfully. "Foolish, faulty, he
may be, but he has done nothing un
worthy of a man of honor. Does a
marriage of affection Incapacitate a
man from' distinguishing himself In
his profession? Do you not believe
that when the heart Is satisfied and at
rest, the Intellect works more freely
and clearly?"
"And do you think that the heart
will long rest satisfied when the lot of
Its owner Is poverty and obscurity?
There, that Is enough. I will not hear
excuses or pleading for my son. If I
thought Mr. Rawson suggested such In
terference, I would beg you to leave at
once."
"Which I can do to-morrow. If you
wish," said Hope, her pale cheek flush
ing quickly, though she spoke with a
pleasant smile.
Mrs. Savllle laughed. "You know I
should not like you to leave me," she
said, more genially than Hope once
thought she could ever speak. "Nor
need you do so, If you will avoid vexed
questions." Hope bent her head. "Tell
me." resumed Mrs. Savllle, "If you did
leave me, what Bhould you do?"
"I am not absolutely without re
sources." returned Hope, "and I should
try to And pupils or some similar em
ployment to this."
'But you would prefer staying where
you are?"
"Yes, very, very much."
"There Is a tone of sincerity In
your words. Pray read to me for a
while, and let us have no more agita
