TUNNEL THROUGH MOUNTAINS Indications Point to Hue-a Unrlartak ing by O. R. & N. Pendleton Rumors in local railroad circles here predict the greatest rail road undertaking that has taken place in this Section Of the state for vaarR of which the crew of surveyors which are now working on the Stanfield Coyote cutoff are the vanguard. This underaking includes, among other ac tive changes and improvements, tun neling through the Blue mountains and tbe elimination of several bad trades tor tne purpose or shortening the time ana distance Petween Chicago and Portland. TblB tunnel, which nf neoaaaitv would he from three to five miles in length, would accomplish much in the saving of time and power. By pushing up uutcner creek: canyon and there en tering the mountains, the wnrat r.art of the grade and many windings would pe eliminated, and on the east side of the mountain the famous Kamela hill would be avoided and the distance from Huron to La Grande reduced to 12 miles. Rumor also sava that conairiarahla work will be done on Tellocasset hill. between Union and Baker City. It is believed that surveying camps will be established at Duncan and Encina and at other points within thn nsit fan days. If these improvements are ac tually contemplated bv the O.

It Has Been Reached by the Civilized World. Washington, Oct. 29. "The civ ilized world has indeed arrived at an era of low mortality." This conclusion is stated in census bureau bulletin No. 104, on mortality statistics for 1908, prepared by Dr. Cressy L. Wilbur, chief statistician fur vital statistics under Director Durand, who has transmitted it to Secretary Nagel, of the department of commerce and labor. The death rate of the registration state in 1908 was 15.3 per 1,000 of population, which was slightly lower than that for the entire registration area, 15.4 per 1,000, and it is the low- est on record. Dr. Wilbur states it is probably the lowest death rate that has ever occurred in the United States. The death rate of the rural portions of these states was still lower, being only 14 per 1,000. while that of the urban population was 16.5 per 1,000; the latter including all cities having a population of 8,000 or more inhabitants in 1900, and being, as usual, some what creater than the rural rata Such rates would have seemed quite out of tne question a lew years ago. Nearly one-fifth of all the deaths that occurred were those of infants uander one year of age and over one- iourtn are oi cniidren less than vears of age. Nearly one-fourth of all deaths rec- . o istered were those of persons born out side oi tne united States. Tbe states having the largest proportion of native-born Americans of native stock are, Dr. Wilbur states, the ones in which it is tbe most difficult to secure the passage of effective recistration laws. Therefore, the actual mortality of Americans of native parentage is not fully represented in the rao-iatra. tion area, although over two-thirds of a.1 jji . tne aeams registered were oi native born persons and one-third were of na tive-porn witn native parents. It appears that the month of maxi mum mortality in 1908 was January, with 67.763 deaths and that of mini. mum mortality was June, with 49,701 aeatns. ZELAYA BOTTLED UP.
