Man h 23.—No trouble occurred at St. Johns today, where on Tuesday night a mob of several hun dred whites attacked the Hindu em ployes of the St. Johns Lumber Co. Several additional arrests of alleged rioters oiturriil today and it is ex pected some of them will have a pre liminary hearing this afternoon. The mill closed down today because the company could not obtain suffi cient men to operate the plant, and the company says the Hindus would never have been employed if white men could have been obtained to do the rough work to which the Hindus were assigned. The British consul is paving the way for the filing of a claim against the Vnited State« government for damages sustained by the Hindus. The charming designs, the exquisite tailoring and the lovely new Spring colors will arouse the strongest enthu siasm in every woman who sees these beautiful garments. The display is large, but there are so few of a kind and color that if there is a special style or shade you want it will be well to make the selection at once. The novel styles and shades will be first to go, hence we advise an early choice. the popular shades for spring. J.

Gillette, local agent of the Southern Pacific Company, today re ceived notice that the company will on next Monday, March 28, inaugu rate a gasoline motor service on the east side branch between Springfield and Albany, thus giving the people of-way for the Boise & Western. These men are Colonel C. E. S. Wood of Portland; Attorney J. W. McCul loch of Ontario, and William Hanley of Burns. Condemnation proceedings have been begun in the court at Vale, Ore gon, on three or four stretches of deeded land not yet secured for the right-of-way. the owners of this land holding out for much higher valua tions than the buyers of the right- of-way believe the land Is worth. When these several stretches of land are secured then the Boise & Western, whose articles of incorpora tion provide for a line from Boise to ; Marshfield. Oregon, on Coos Bay. will have possession of the right-of- way through the only narrow canyon between its two terminals. Wide Enough for Two Rood«. There seems to be a misconception as to the width of the Malheur can yon, many believing it is only wide enough for one railroad. This Is not the ease. There Is ample room through this canyon for two roads. It Is at present definitely known that the Malheur canyon Is the only feasible route, with an easy grade, from the Snake river to the interior of Oregon. Hence the great import ance of securing a right-of-way through this narrow canyon. That Hill has secured thia right-of-way seems to be accepted as one of the certainties. Easy Grade from Ontario to Coturt, It is now definitely known, and it is a very important fact, that a wa ter grade for a railroad can be se cured from the Snake river at On tario, through Vale, and extending into the interior of Oregon, a dl»- tance of 300 miles. The verv Import ant point lies tn the fact that when these 300 miles are reached it lands the grade at the summit of the di vide. At no point between Ontario and the summit is there more than a 1H per cent grade, which is con sidered an easy grade for railroad construction and operation. When the summit is reached, it is said to be an easy grade to run a line on to Portland, Coos Bay or San Francisco. Coos Bay has great natural ad- vantages and is destined, in a few years, to have a splendid harbor for all seagoing crafts.
