TO CHOOSE A ROUTE
Tillamook lload Has Two
Lines Surveyed.
If Itlght of Way I Not Grant
ed to Tillamook City, ltonl
Will He Unlit to the Xc
lialeui Country.
Fr ni theTaiamook Herald.
That the proposed Portland, Tllla
raook & Nehalem Railroad will be
built and that active steps toward its
construction will be taken witlun
the next CO days Is the assertion of
Attorney William Held, tho aecre-
taiy of the company. Two routes
have been surveyed and if the re
quest of the road for a right of way
through Tillamook county Is not
granted, then construction will com
inence on the Northern route. Mr.
Reld says that all the money nec
eaaary to build the road had been
raised, and that it is the purpose of
the company to accomplish their end
regardless of opposition on the part
of Hill and Uarrimttn.
The company Is now waiting to
hear what the people of Tillamook
will do with regard to the request
for right of-way of the city. This
route is preferred, as it gives a short
er haul and a branch line can be
operated into the Nahalem Valley at
a smaller operating expense than the
longer northern route could. How
ever, as the grades on the northern
route are much better than ou the
rillamook line, this road, it is said,
will be built If the Tillamook' people
refuse to grant the necessary right of
way. The road will not be built in.
to Portland at once, as railroad con.
ditions are such that the Hill-Harr-
riman combination can prevent this,
but it Is the intention of the com
pany to come into Portland within
the next two years, either by an in
dependent line or by securing North
ern Pacific trackage from some point
along the Columbia.
Tbe present plans contemplate the
starting of the road from Hillsboro,
where it will connect with the west
slue branch of the Southern Pacific.
rhe southern route, and the one
which the company favors, runs
northwest from Hillsboro, crossing
the divide at the source of the Wil
son River; the line follows the river
to Tillamook, The location of the
terminus has not yet been decided
upon. Lines have been surveyed to
Oyster Bay and to Bay city . He
gardless of which place is chosen, the
ultimate plan is to build up to Ne.
haletn. In order to tap the Nehal-
era Valley, this scheme contemplat
ed the building ot a branch line from
a point east of the divide, through
the valley to a point at or uear Jew
ell, on the Nehalem River. Prac
tically all of the Nehalem V alley
would be tributary to this branch,
and the main line would tap the
Tillamook County, directing the
traffic of the whole district Into
Portland.
There are a number of complica
tions, however, that maks the select
ion of this route rather doubtful
While the company has rights of
wav for a srood portion of the dis
tance, there are sections here and
there that they have been unable to
obtain, and all of the route through
Tillamook county is yet to be secur
ed. The selection of this route de
peuds entirely upon the action of the
people of Tillamook. It appears
that they Insist upon the terminus of
(he road being located at Tillamook
City. But the roadroad company
will not agree to this. Their desire
Is to locate the terminus on deep
water. At Tillamook the water is
very shallow, it is Sbid, and Is un
suited for navigation. To reach
deep water the company ha hid
lines surveyed to Oyster Bay and to
Bay City on Tillamook, and if the
Southern route is selected the term
lous of the road will probably be lo
cated at one or the other of these
places.
The northern route as surveyed
runs Irom Hillsboro, north through
the Nehalem Valley to the Nehal
em River, then follows the west
bank of the river to Nehalem and
down the coast to Tillamook . This
is a clrcultuous route, but is com
parailvely level. All rights of way
have been secured along this line, it
instated, and the people of the dis-
trie! that would be given railway
fertilities are anxious to see that
route selected. Owing to the differ.
ence in cost of constructing this long
er route and the greater cost of opera
tion, the company does not want to
adopt It unless forced to do so.
The road, if built along either
route, will for the time being be at
the mercy of Harriman. It cannot
build into Portland at present be
cause, as Is stated, Hill and Harrl
man have an agreement relative to
the territory through which it would
be necessary to go, whereby they
can prevent the road from enteriug
Portland. However, this agree
ment, is held, Is in conflict with the
merger decision and unlawful, and
the company believes that as soon as
the llill-Harrimaa combination Is
settled that they will be enabled to
reach this city, probably over North-
ern Pacific tracks by building to a
connecting point somewhere down
the Columbia River. Mr. Rid stat
ed yesterday that he believed the
company would be enabled to get
into Portland Independently within
two years.
Another point at issue between
the Tillamook company and the
Harriman people is that of traffic ar
rangements. It is stated that liar
riman has offered to make satisfact
ory ou this score, provided the uew
road will turn all its freight and traf-
c over to Harriman lines, But
the company declines to make a pro
mise of this sort. To meet this re
fusal, Mt. Harriman, It Is said, may
retaliate by imposing domestic rates
on the freight of this road between
the connecting point and Portland,
which would be a serious handicap
for the new road. Mr. Iteid will
discuss this matter with Mr. Krutt
schnitt and Mr. Stubbs when thej
reach this city, and it is hoped that
satisfactory terms may be agreed
upon. The road, if built, will be
oue of the most important ones In
Oregon. It taps a vast territory in
the richest part of the state that now is
absolutely without railway facilit
ies. Billions of feet of timber, the
finest on the Coast, are in th's coun
try, and all that is needed to build
up a gigantic lumber industry there
is railroad transportation. Beside
the timber, the district is rich in ag
ricultural possibilities.
To Portland the roMd would be of
inestimable value. It is to be built
with the purpose in view of direct
ing traffic from tbe nortwest terri
tory of the state iuto this and build
ing up trade between the city and
the great empire that is now lying
idle.
The purpose is to make the road a
Portland enterprise, have It control
led here and operated for the benefit
of Portland and the territory to the
west.
An April Storm.
An April blizzard, bringing with
it from two to two and a half feet of
snow and sleet, has practically iso
lated Western Minnesota and a large
section of North Dakota, Last Sat
urday tbe storm not only completely
blockaded the railroads with huge
drifts, but so prostrated the telegraph
service that it will be more than a
week before it will be restored. The
country around Fargo, N. D., was
shut out from all communication.
It is learned that 30 inches of snow
fell at Fargo, and not only the main
linos of the railroads, but all the
branches were tied up tight. From
Mapleton, Minn., to Staples, Minn.,
a distance of about 110 miles, it Is
estimated that from 300 to 400 tele
graph poles were blown down or
undermined by water. Central Wis
consin also experienced a severe bliz
zard, interfering with traffic iu some
cases. At Oacola six inches of snow
fell and the roads were drifted full.
Potatoes Higher iu Price.
Potatoes have fallen Into the line
of higher products In New York
City, and have suddenly advanced
at wholesale from 7o cents to II a
barrel. Uood ones are extremely
scarce and importations from Ire
land, Scotland, Belgium and Scotch
stock ranee from 13 2j to Id. 40 a
sack. The quality compares favor
ably with the domestic articles,
which are quoted as high as 1.75.
Dealers do not anticipate a famine,
as the rise has brought increased sup
plies from country merchants who
had been holding back shipments
ew Capital.
Plans for the new capital of the
Philippines were last Saturday made
known by Secretary of War Taft
Secretary Taftsaid:
"The new capital will be about 156
miles from Manila, on a plot of
ground over 0000 feet above the level
of the sea. which will make it far
more healthy for Americans.
It is to be to the Philippines what
Simla is to India, and will be of great
benefit to the Islands. The climate
Is superb, the location good and the
new opportunities for men with cap

Make Your Home lteiutiful.
The following from The Milton
Eigle is good advice for every town
in the state:
Now is the time to clean up and
Improve the home. Plant trees and
shrubbery. Set out rone bushes and
make fl wer beds. Renew your
lawns and repair the yard fence.
Take a little pride in your surround
Ings and make your home a bower
of beauty. One does no have to
own a mansion with big cast-iron
dogs guarding the driveway and
naked statuary standing on the
lawns to have a beautiful home. By
the aid of nature and the application
of a little elbow preese the most
hum be cot In town can be transform
ed into a shady retreat, a vision ol
vines, fragrant with Dowers, carpet
ed with green- a beautiful refuge
after the toils and worry of the day .
Milton could be made the most
beautiful little city in the laud If
every owner of a home actuated by
spirit of pride and love for the
beautiful would spend a few min
utes each day in fixing up anil doing
the little things that tend to make
a home attractive and pretty. II
you don't own your own home, don't
rest until you do. In this day of
building and loan associations every
man who pays rent is utile to own a
home.

The Weather bureau Predicts IIIkIi
Hater iu Klver.
Tbe Columbia River will get busy
again this Juue and back up the
Willamette to a height of 20 fet
above low-water luaik, if the re
ports received by District Forecaster
Beals from the up country reg-.mliuit
the amount of snow in the mount
ains are correct. Mr. Bals has
made careful computation based on
past records and present snow, and
he thinks that water will be fully as
high as he prognosticates and the
Willamette will be up on Front
street.
All through Eastern Oregon, East
ern Washington, Idaho and Mon
tana there is more snow than the
average, quite a good deal more than
last year even, when the Willamette
reached 24 feet. But calculations do
not point to more than 20 teet this
year, and considerable confidence
can be placed in Mr. Beats' forecasts,
as he has come very near foretelling
the rise every year since he came
here, lat year hitting it to the inch.
Only oue thing can upset his cal
culations very much, and that Is the
unusual condition ot the Snake and
Columbia Rivers rising at the same
time. Generally the Snake runs off
a week or more before the Columbia
goes to work, and extreme high
water la averted. In 1894, when the
streets ot Portland were Hooded, this
unusual conjunction took place, but
generally the Snake water, coming
from a warmer country, where the
snow melts sooner, runs off In time
to prevent such a catastrophe.
All the snow that Is likely to cause
trouble fell in February and March,
the winter being comparatively open
before that. This fact gives some
hope that it is less solidly packed
and has not so great a bulk as it
would have had iu case it had fallen
at Intervals during the winter.
The present warm weather will
help avert the threatened flood, for
the more snow runs off now Ilia less
there will be later on. In fact a
great deal is running oil now. A
telegram was received last night by
.he Weather Bureau from Baker
City stating that the Powder River
at that point Is a raging torrent. It
has overflowed its banks and Is still
rising. All such little rises now are
beneficial to Portland. Calculations
are based on only a moderate nu tr
uer of these freshets early in the
season. An average April ami juay
has many cool spells and the snow
is still heavy in June when the floods
usually come.
The flood crest will be 27 feet at
Umatilla and 45 feet at The Dalles.
In that case the river will be over
the Cascade Locks and navigation
will be stopped for a time.
Twenty-six feet at Portland means
that the Willamette will Just begin
to run up on Front street and the
cellers below Fifth and Washington
streets will be more or less flooded.
Tbe high water in 1891 was 33
feet. Oregonian .
Potate Fxperlmeut.
T. B. Terry, of Ohio, made an In
teresting experiment with a potato.
This potato he cut into seventy-four
pieces, each piece having one-sixth
of an eye. The pieces were planted
In severity-four hills 33 inches apart
each way. The land was clover sod,
the planting being done late, after a
crop of clover had been cut, and the
crop suffered from the lack of moist
ure, but by the time the potatoes
had matured the vines covered the
ground, and from an exact square
rod the yield was over five pecks of
large tubers, at the rate of 200 bush
els per acre. Mr. Terry does not
recommend the use of one-sixth of
an eye In planting, but he thinks
that one eye to a hill Is sufficient; bis
experiment ouarht to prove this.
He aayionly potatoes of strong vital
ity would be capable of making such
a yield as his potato made. Rural

Conviction Without PuultlinieaU
"The conviction of Senator Bur
ton," ssys the Republic, "is an en
couraging sigu of the times," a re
mark that is true as far as it goes.
In nineteen boodle trials in Missouri,
beginning more than two years ago,
juries returned verdicts of guilty,
but in no case has the penalty been
executed. The encouragement the
Republic finds in a United States
court has no counteipart io this state,
where nobody is in prison after tho
nineteen boodle convictions. Sena
tor Burton's discharge on some far
fetched technicality is evidently not
expected by the Republic. Justice
on that plan Is not administered by
the courts of the United States.
Within the past five years there has
been a frightful mass of crimes
against the election laws In St. Louis.
The only punishment that has at
tended the avalanche of offenses a.
gainst the ballot came from a United
States court, whose respect for the
law's intent and whose sane position
toward American citizenship have
landed several who were guilty
of naturalization frauds in the peni
tentlary.
"Washington has received a tre
mendous shock," continues the Re
public. Jefferson City wav not
shocked in the least by nineteen
boodle convictions and would keep
the even tenor of Its way If the con.
vlctions numbered 1900. The Mis
souri public has ceased to expect
punishment for bribery, as there al
ways seems to be In this state a tech
nlcallty the size of a barn door to
give ;he briber or bribed a cluarance
and an opportunity to renew his use
fulness In boodle government. "The
lid must be pried off in Washington
before the pot can be cleaned," adds
the Republic, turning from its ad
vocary of state boards over St. Louis
to a perpendicular state of mind
about matters a thousand miles from
the foul robbers' toost in Missouri
that nineteen jury convictions failed
to reach. A conviction in a United
States court means something. And
that is why a jury's verdict there Is
