liUKt if nnt the largest llmberluud
owner iu this section, nt rived in
lleml Sunday evening accoiniMtuictl
by bin miii, Thomas I.. Slievlin, and
remained until Tuesday morning,
bin visit being for the purKe of
acquainting himself with hi bold
lug litre unci to attend to other

A City Hi M.000 lWvl.
When interviewed by The Bulle
tin, Mr. Survliu ulked very freely
and enthusiastically and said: "I
am much surprised, indeed, to find
what I do at Hend. I had, of
course, expected to ace some latent
resource here awaiting develop
ment, but what I find greatly ex
ccf-dx my expectation!. Von have
wonderful resource und wonderful
possibilities. Vou Ik- at the gate
way to thU hnve belt of limber, n
very 'large part of which will be
manufactured here became of your
natural lootiou. Mend is destined
to become a city mid u larger one
than any man here uo.r especti.."
"Weil, Mr. Shevlui, some of us
bnve Hither large extwrtations along
that Hue," the reporter replied.
VI do not we how large your
expectation-, urc," Mr. Shevliu an
awereil. "Jlend's growth will ex
ceed thu u:)Hrc(Ntiuua of the mot
sanguine, and within to years after
transportation is provided you will
have a city of 23,000 people"
"What do you thiul; of the tint
ber in this section," he wan asked.
"You have lotu of it aud it is a
very good quality. Of cortirse you
haven't got fir and timber' oC that
class but you have an abundant
Mipply and n very good gnulii of
what we call Western yellow pine.
I am well satisfied with what? I find
in the timber line."
Says llurrlrnnn Will llulM.
"Can you give us qny informa
tioiijAIr; Sficvliui in regard to the1
transportation question?"
"Well yut need it. Aud you
arc going to have it, Heud Will
have a rnjlroml within two years at
the Intent mid I believe within 12
months, Vou will have at least two
rail muds within five years, I am
confident. Ilntiimiiii is anxious to
build into Central Oregon and the
only thing tlutt stopped him was
the recent panic. Iliirriiiinu lias
his hands flill mid it will Ix: neces
sary for him to sell bonds to build
11 line in here, but just as soon as
he can sell the bonds he will build
a railroad into this territory."
"Do you not think that Hill has
his eye on this section also and will
extend his lines to tap this timber
belt?"
Hill's Lines Will A! Come.
"No doubt of it. With his North
Dank road he linn the finest grades
in the world. Now all he bus to
do is to cross the Columbia aud
build tip the Deschutes river, take
a hand in opening this section and
Hot u share of the traffic that will
be here iIcvcIo'khI."
Mr. Slicvlin was very positive in
his statements regarding the coin
ing of a railroad. While naturally
he would make no definite on
iiounu'tiieiits, he was very insistent,
while iu Heud, iu saying that Heud
would have transportation and
that right soon. Standing as he
docs at the head of an extensive
lumber bushiest arid enjoying close
and friendly relations with J. J
II ill bcine; niemlierM of the snme
club at St Paul he is iu a oMtiou
to know much of inside facts, and
when he states that Heud will have
n railroad within a certain time, he
undoubtedly b.is Mroue; reasons for
umkiui! such statements. It is
known that he and Mr. Hill have
diKiissed the question of buildiiiK a
railroad here. Hill has had engi
neers through this section aud bus
complete reorts rugardiut' its re
sources ami the opportunities for
railroad building. Mr. Shuvliu's
statements would st re up, the 11 very
materially the belief that Hill, as
well as Ilurrimmi, is anxious to ex
tend his lines .Into this territory,

A.
Al. Drake Continues His Derlp
tlon of Sicilian Life, with Much
History Interwoven.
Hail our time nermittcd, we
would have taken other trips in Ihe
neighborhood of Palermo, partic
ularly to the cathedral nt Chc
falir, which contains the finest
mosaic) in the world; also to tbe
ruins of Saluuto. the Sicilian Pom
peii, uud especially to those of
Selinus, the historic enemy of Se
gestn, destroyed by the Cartha
gpuians250 II C.
From Palermo we went by rail
to Girgcuti, first skirting tin-north-em
shore of the island, then cross
ing the mountainous interior to tbe
south coast.
The trip was exceedingly beauti
ful ami picture-cue, winding
through valleys and over the in
terior plateau amid tl ic verdure of
springtime, with almond blossoms
everywhere aud lemo n and orange
trees in full fruit. High above us
on mountain crags ot numinits, pro
tected by inacceMiii Die rimrocks,
were occasional old c is lies or cities,
ome of which are still inhabited;
interesting rt-miuders of olden days
P.sing through 01 le of the long
tunnels, which comrx se about one
third of a Sicilian rail way, we be
gan to descend the s aulhern slope,
where vegetation was stunted and
the landscape Weaken ed by fumes
from the sulphur mines which
pitted the surface eve rywherc, im
parting, an aprx-uranurc of the in
fernal regions. Shorll y afterward
we reached Girgenti station in a
narrow vallev, with t he city itself
perched on a ridge 100 O feet iu the
uir, overlooking the s H- a mile or
two distant. This ni i tthty rim
rocked stronghold was c. died Agra

the Romans, and now C irgcnti bv

the studding so badly as to practi
cally destroy the entire building.
The building was covered by an in
