IIARRIillAN AFTER THE OREGON TRUNK Hill Soys tic Will Not Invade Central Oregon. KLAMATH RAILROAD NEWS Coos Hay Line Mm Passed the Paper Slaj anil Surveying Is Being lie at Hxpcnse of Local Capital-May Uo C. ft N.-W. It appears that Secretary Mnllln gcr has uccorded rlght-of.way to both the Herrlman and Oregon Tmik roads Irrespective of any con flicts that may exist between the surveys, the adjustment of these fulling to the courts and not to the government, The upper 90 miles of Uarrimnn survey maps arc about to be trans fcrred from the laud pflice to the secretary of the Interior, and, says the Telegram, Uallingcr "having established a precedent in approv. lug maps for the lower 40 mile will without doubt approve the balance of the line." Now that both projects have the necessary rights of way up the Deschutes, it appears that the liar rlinan people will go on the war path after the Oregon Trunk. In stead of fighting out the conflicting claims of right of way with his pos. siblc rival, it seems that the " Wiz ard" will attack the legality of the Oregon Trunk's Incorporation, maintaining that It cannot operate in this statu. Whether or not this new move has anything definite be hind it remains to be seen. Others Must Hulld Road. Ill a recent address in Portland, James J. Hill utitiouuccd that Cen tra) Oregon must look elsewhere than to him for transportation re lief. Although expressing the very positive belief that the resources of this country already more than jus tified the building of a road, and that one must ncedily enter the lung neglected field, Mr. Hill said that for the present, at least, the thorough development of the Great Northern territory demauded his entire attention. Klamath Palls Railroad Activities. R. M. Curnahau, recently of Bend, has sent us news of interest concerning the railroad activities In the southern part of the state. The road Is being actively pushed northward front Klamath l'nlls, says Mr. Cnruahati, the grade work and preliminary clearing being completed for several miles, and grade stakes set out by recent sur veys reach as far as Heaver Marsh. Whether or not the construction force now engaged in the neighbor hood of the city will be retained, our corrcsjondent was unable to ascertain.. The opinion of the southern bus-' iucss men and contractors seems to he that the road will undoubtedly be pushed through directly toOdell lake, and thence actoss the moun tains to Natron, thus establishing a Sau Francisco-Portland main liueoi far belter grade than the present one overtthc Siskiyous. An ludi' cation of the permanent character of the work already completed is the fact that go-pound rails have been tihvd, far heavier than arc cm- ployed on brnuch lines of light traffic. Coos Hay Hopeful. The proposition made by Freder ick A, Halnch to the Oregon itc Id aho Railroad Company to survey 11 ml build n road from Coos Hay to the vicinity of Koscburg, has been accepted by the company, which is financed entirely by local capital. The initial cost of surveying falls upon the Coos Day cople, this to be returned when Mr. Haines' backers take over the proposition. , Haines was formerly locating en gineer for the Chicago & North western, and the supposition is that the road will be extended across Central Oregon to Nyssa, there con necting With the Northwestern. WRONG MAN ARRESTED. Denton County Sheriff Mas Look Trip for Nothing. Thursday night W. A. Gellatly, sheriff of Hentoii county, had an unfortunate ending to Ihcdcclcctivc work which brought him across the mountains In pursuit of Hurry Wil son, who escaped from the county jail on May 74. Wilson had tried to kill his father-in-law and was awaiting his trial charged with "assault with in tent to kill." Uy good behavior he had secured the privileges o( a "trusty," and with the aid of a friend managed to give the sheriff the slip. Prom Bend the description of Wilson was telephoned to l'red ShoinUcst, it having been learned that n stranger answering the de scription had recently gone south. Shotiqucst Immediately made the arrest, as requested, and Sheriffs Klkins and Gellatly drove post haste to get their prisoner. Hut unfortunately for all con cerned, it was the wrong man, and the real criminal, Wilson, is us free us ever. Prohibition Snakea. K. M, Caruabaii writes us that the most remarkable thing about Klam ath Falls Is its many snakes, It seems that a visitor who had Imported n jug of choice "Cyrus Noble" from Portland, imbibed rather too freely, and then went out for a walk about town, Immedi ately he came face to face with n couple of husky snakes, and much worried, called to a native. "Do you see snakes on the side walk?" he nsked anxiously. "Of course not," answered the native, who scented a joke. "Then for goodness sake take my whisky," Whereupon the najlvc got the jug and the visitor sigued the pledge. Mr. Caruuhau advises his friends not to go to Klamuth! For Sale.

During the morning the teams gathered on the flat by the old log house in such numbers that the us ually deserted place took on the ap pearance of a county fair in full swing. After all had arrival, and the band members were busy with the preparations for the feast, the guests scattered along the river banks filling their creels with trout. Then came the barbecue, trout without number, cooked to perfec tion by those past masters of the art, "Dad" West and Tom Triplett, and carried by assistants to the groups scattered far and wide under the trees. "Two glasses fora nicklc each." While the trout were making their final disappearance, Harney Lewis, Professor of Lemonade Making, ex tracted the nicklcs from the pock ets of all within car allot in ex change for his concoctions, "the best on earth," he guarauteed, though he never "made final proof" by imbibing himself. Then Dr. Mitchell conducted a brief open air service, which was preceded and followed by selections played by the band, all greatly en joyed. And when the day came to an cud, as even good things must, it was unanimously voted that the baud had done itself proud. The following were the hosts of the day: H. C. Throne, C.
