BRIGHT RAILROAD PROSPECTS
The Practical Solution of the Hack'
Vlecaa.ad Problem of Line Between
Portland and A.torla. .. '
Poktlakd. The prospect of s ntiircad
between Aetorla and Portland is t t
very bright. M. Lntz, who represent s
French and German syndicate, has been
in Portland and Astoria for several days
with E. L. Dwyer and others, who are
interested in the enterprise, and he and
his associates have been investigating
and considering the various propositions
lor a rauroau connecting Astoria wiui
Portland. The result is that Mr. Lutz
has submitted to the people ol Astoria a
proposition to immediately build a roau
irotn Astoria to tioble upon condition
that thev rmt in nrooer form for delivery
to the syndicate represented by him the
title to ttte land subsidies at Astoria anu
Flavel heretofore offered for the construc
tion of such a road. Furthermore the
neoDlti of Astoria are reunited to obtain
and iiive the full and free right of way
from Astoria to uooie, ana a coniract
for traffic arrantrements with the North'
era Pacific between Goble and Portland
is also to be furnished. It is stated that,
if tlieae conditions are complied with.
the road will be built at once, as the
money can be immediately obtained for
this purpose. It is believed that this of
fers a
practical solution oi mis mucn-
discussed nrobiem and will secure the '
construction of a railroad that will be of
equal advantage to Portland and Astoria.
It Will DO an independent nue uetweeu
the two cities, and it is proposed to han
dle the business of all roads on equal
terms.
OBEAT SCHEME.
A Spokane Man's Plan Whereby Be Can
Give Work to All.
Tacoma. L. C. Dillman, a prominent
business man of Spokane, is in the city
maturing a scheme whereby he proposes
to make a big stroke toward developing
Central Washington and at the same
time offer work to all the unemployed
laborers in the State. The scheme is to
dig three big irrigating ditches and pay

is to be bought by the company at very
reasonable rates. He thinks the enter -
prise is already assured. One ditch will
extend from Priest Rapids toward Pros

second extends from Wallula to Ains
worth, embracing 16,000 acres, and the
thud leaves Snake river near Riparia at
the crossing of the Union Pacific rail
road, and traverses the Eureka Flat
through 45,000 acres.
MO NEW THINQ.
An
Indian Rebellion In the States of
Sonora and Slnnlon.
San Ditao. Information was received
from Ensenyada, capital of Lower Cali
fornia, a few days ago that two compa
nies of Mexican troops had been ordered
to embark at once for Guaymas. At -first
it was thought to be only an unimportant
transfer of troops, but later developments
of a startling nature go to show Ihat
there is urgent need for troops TO The
States of Sonora and Sinaloa, Mexico,
where the native Yaquis are in a state oi
rebellion. Advices received per steamer
Carlos Pacheco cay that the expedition
recently sent against the rebellious na-

and that several have been captured and
put to torture. Governor Torres is mil
itary commander of that tone, and is
known to be a brave and intrepid officer.
This movement of troops from Ensen-
vada indicates that a determined expe
dition against the Yaquis has been out
lined, ana tne troops are Deing mouwzeu

u..Mh on iuiKv vuu.i
of Private Land Claims, which has just
closed its session here, disposed of thir
teen grant claims fonr in Arizona and
the others in New Mexico having a to
tal area of 1,875.202 acres. The court
confirmed to private ownership
866,627
acres, and held 1,500,000
as being sov-
ernmeut land. Among the larger grants
so held to be void and public domain
were the Babocomari grant in Arizona
for 128,01)0 acres, the Gervasio-Nolan
irrant in New Mexico for 575.000 acres
and the Corpus Christ! grant in Colorado
for 606,000 acres. The court in passing
upon the Arizona grants held that those
made by the State of Bonora were void ;
also that the grants made by the Inten
dentes subsequently to February i, iszi,
the date of the plan of Iguala, were void.
This will leave only tnree claims in Ari
zona that can possibly be confirmed.

about a report from London that the
