blow at our local mills. Flour made

aud whims ought not to lie indulged

1 hope the Hoard of Tra'le will take

right. If we do not protect our own

was intimated that Oregon is a good
place for a home. "That is probably
true, but I have a little property in
Michigan which anchors me aud oiy

It is now reported that the real
mine prospecting near Phoenix in
Jackson county by the H. P. com
pany has been abaudoued. When
coal was first uncovered there, the
company had some confidence that
the mine would prove valuable, but
now after drifting in 460 feet there
is nothing found that justiiiea further
work. There is some coal, but the
stratas are thin and -separated by
thicker layers of slate. This base
slate is encountered In many of the
mines not only in Rogue river va'.ley
but in the Willamette.
Mr. Jas. Higler was iu town Mon

able to pull logs out of ravines and
eveu canyons tliut are not more than
a thousand feet deep. Another ad
vantage is relief from swamping and
road building. At the present time
the machine is set at the head of the
skidway where the logs lire taken by
a team and snaked to the mill over a
greased skidway. It has been the
tirsl thousand feet that has before
tried the endurance of the logger,
but this is now made easy by the

Mr. X. I Shaler late of Chicago,
but now in the employ of the Port-
lauil-llillsboro lectric Motor Rati
roud Company, visind llillsboro on
Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week in the interest of the new
transportation company. Mr. Siia
fcr was called fioni aitive life with
both water aud eiectiic car trans
portation companies. Especially is
he familiar with the construction
and mechanical departments of elec
tric motor lined. He states that a
line out of Portland aud up tho hill
lias been located and that the survey
ors are now setting the crade stakes.
The line passes through the Catholic
cemetery, perhaps aloug the depres
sion just north ut the Rama wagou
road. This side of there the line has
not beeu located, but the engineer
ing problem is not difficult and two
or more routes may be takeu. Up
to the summit from the city the
grade is not more than 8J per cent
except at one stretch of about 400
feet where it Is 4$ per cent. Doubl
ing back-across the face of a ridge
back of St. Vincents hospital affords
the finest view of the Columbia
gorge to be hud and the car ride to
the summit is bound to be a favorite
trip for visitors as well as residents.
Hillsboro is to bo a point on the
line, most likely the terminal for a
division, tor the road ha Tillamook
for au objective. Witli such a posi
bility in sight, there will be located
the homes of ompjoyes, . the power
house for generating electricity to
develope from COO to 1000 horse
power, and ut least repair shops,
though ultimately new car shops
may be built here. What with con
ductors, drivers, men about the pow
er house, wood choppers aud ofllclals
a population of 150 to 200 employees
will be gathered, who with ' their
families will enlarge our town by GOO
souls. These people will be consum
ers and not producers. That means
much local tado.
The surveyors will be in the coun
ty next week. Two or more lines
will be ruu from llillsboro to the
top of the hill beyond Cedar Mills.
The lines may be started from this
end the snrveyoas going eastward.
The best entrance to our town will
besought. The street selected,' tlie
ground for power house aud an exit
will tie factors entering the problem.
Some one asked Mr. Shafer if the
company did anything with real es
tate. "Nnthici? at all except for
station grounds." Ho thinks cars
will be running to llillsboro fiom
Portland by July 1, l'.MlH.
Some details connected with the
lino coming here can best be worked
out with the ' citizens of llillsboro
aud the people living along the pro
posed line east of hire. To take
them up Mr, Shufor is desirous to
meet the people in mass convention.
The Hillsboro Board ofTrade seconds
the company and at Its last meeting
held Tuesday eveuiug voted t- Join
iu a call for a mass meeting of the
citizens of Hillsboro and vicinity to
assemble iu tho auditory of the court
house Saturday evening, July 12, at
8 o'clock to consider matters pertain
ing to tin; entrance of the Portland -Hillsboro
electric motor line Into the
town. By that, time surveys be
tween heru and the summit beyond
Cellar Mills will have been made and
a lucid understanding of the project
can be laid before the people.
Thefe tilings could have been
brought about some mouths ago but
for the opposition of a few individu
al iuterests In Portland. An ordi
nance was introduced granting a
franchise to the company but de
feated tiecause of opposition of prop
erty owners who did not- want the
street in front of their residences de
filed by traluc. About two months
ago a franchise ordinance was again
Introduced and referred to its com
mittee. The same opposition was
met but by selecting other ftreets,
where the olher man's property was
hurt (?) (he remonstralors were paci
fied so that the committee rrportad
favorably and thn ordinance was
passed by a voto of 8 to 1, absent 2.
Of these it is understood that posi
tively one would have voted aye and
perhaps tho other, so had all the
council been present the vote would
have stood 9 to 2 and perhaps 10 tot.
The mayor signed the ordinance on
Monday afternoon of this week.
Mr. Gradoii Jr., as soon as the ordi
nance passed the council started to
New Yoi k where he was to arrive
yesterday. There he orgsnly.es the
money part of the enterprise ' while
the elder G radon is iu the field with
the enginwrs.
Hut the obstructions are not yet
disposed of. The Oregouian of Wed-
nesibiy morning rciiorts that the
Portland Cordage Company aud the
Portland Iron Works have entered a
protest to the I nildiug of tho road in
front of their respective factories
with the Hoard of Public Work of
Portland. The Hoard patiently list
ened to the attorney and at bis re
quest laid the matter over till Mon
day next but from remarks dropped
and questions asked it would seem
that the poetponment was one of
courtesy rather than an Intention to
Good cnousfc
for anybody1.

forbid the building of thn road
which is demanded by tho business
interests of the city. Indeed Mr.
Linthlcum, the attorney presenting
the remonstrance said he and pre
sumably his clients would like to
see the road enter the city If it pass
ed by the property of some one else
The objectors claim that their busi
ness will be hampered by the road,
that there is not room for the biff
trucks to stand at the side walk and
load. To us clodhoppers such object
ions are frivolous. Who Is this cord
age company that arrogates tho priv
ilege of blocking tho streets of our
metropolis and collect toll from the
rest of the city and the country too?
Can It be a part of thn national cord
age trust? And this foundry? Is It
a creature of some national bank?
It is absurd that two men may blin k
a stroot to the traffic that the whole
city excepting them demands. It Is
surmised that their lease , has not
long to run and that the increased
value of the "property for business
houses will compel thein to pay a
higher rent. Washington county
has confidence iu the Portland Board
of Public Works, that it will not per
mit a few men to 'monopolize the
streets. ' Tho protect will not . stop
building the road though It will an
noy. As In other cities the few ob
structions will be pushed aside aud
progress will go forward.'

one present at tho wedding U fly
years ago, excepting of course Capt.
Collins and Miss Crandall, was Capt,
R. Crandall. Capt. Collins is now
71 years of age aud his wife Is part
of a year younger. Capt. Collins Is
a millwright and in his prime wss a
very fine mechanic, but now he has
retired from active work where Que
lilies are worked to. Iu 1801, like
hundreds of thousands of other young
men, he voluuteered aud went Sooth
to defend the Hag. ' Next year, 18C2,
lie was commissioned and sent home
to recruit a company of heavy artil
lery. He had hardly takeu up his
duties when tho Sioux Indian war
broke out. There was not time to
regularly organize a company but
Lt. Collins with what citizens lie
could gather was directed to protect
as best he could the women and
children rxssed. Several sharp en
KSgeweiits were fought. Before the
trouble was ended a veteran batalion
800 strong of the 3rd Minnesota In
fantry that had licen takeu prisoners
by the confederates down south were
paroled and sent home. A Indians

greater force than the whites and
their fire made the soldiers hug the
grass roots. The Indians were I in
coming bold when someone, a ser
geant perhaW, cried charge. The
hoys ohtyed and with a yell started
for the plum thicket. The Indiana
flrod a volley and ran, but In going
up the opposito grassy sloe about HI
of them were made good. About
this time the 6th Minnesota Infantry
another veteran regiment came dou
ble quick from the right, reinforce

they were sent to put the detach
ment under arrest for firing w llhout
orders. The boys were mad. It
seems that the women and children
of the new settlement were camped
together in such way that the In
dians could reach them before the
troops aud It was feared that a mas
sacra would occur heuee It was the
plan of den. Blbley to hold the
braves in the ravine till the Cth In
fantry could have time to get be
tween them and the women. The
detachment of the 8rd bad
moved too soon. Lt, Collins offered
his sword to the colonel who referred
hlin to (Jen. Blbley. The General
would not take It either but directed
him to return to his iromniand. Af
ter the Indian war Lt. Collins re
cruited his company of heavy artil
lery which was mustered In as Co.

As senior 1st Lt. he commanded the
company In operations about Chalta

close of the war In 1806. Not long
afterward he came to Oregon and
settled In Hillsboro where he found
bis present home as a heavy forest ol

there are wheels, axles and other
