President Lytle, of the Columbia Soutn ' era, announces that the first 30 miles of the extension of the line .from Shanlko to Bend has been pemanently located. Finds And estimates are now being pre pared. The company will let contracts for the construction of the first 30 miles early in August This extension is be ing made out from Shanlko. This por tion of the line Is the most difficult from an engineering point of view. Among other things there Is a tunnel to be made at a point U miles south of Shanl ko, President Lytle does not look to see this part of the line finished for at least six months from the time actual con- atructlon work Is begun. "As soon as permanent location is made for the next 10 miles," he said to The Journal this morning, "a contract for construction of that part of the line v will be let It Is our purpose to let con , traction' contract in 10-mile sections, as productive of better results. I think that by August 1, 1903, the extension will be 'constructed and In operation.' When this line l completed it will be the direct route to the Crater Lake dis trict; for the lake can be reached from the future terminus of the road by easy staging. - 'President Lytle Was asked what pro gress was making In the matter of chang log Its locomotives Into petroleum burn ers. He stated that, bv August 1, and . possibly before that time, four engines would be completely equipped for burn ing oflL The first tank of oil reached Biggs yesterday, where there are tanks for storage of tbs new fuel. There fa another shipment on the way here from the Associated Oil Company at Kern River, CaL " .The Columbia Southern Is the first line In the Padfio Northwest to utilize oil as a fuel on its engines. Represent a . ttveo of the other lines will witness the result of running trains with this class of fuel. Jf the experiment proves en tirely satisfactory, the conversion ot engines from 'burners of coal and wood Into consumers of petroleum in this sec tion may become universal. THEY ALL WANT PENSION MONEY T. A. Wood, Grand Commander of the : Indian War Veterans, and the father of the pension bill Just passed by 'Congress, Is deluged by letters dally from old In dian fighters from all over Oregon and Washington. They want to be enrolled on Uncle Sam's pay list, at the prevail ing rate, $8 per month. Mr. vood says that out of 60 letters received dally, from eight to 10 are from persons who draw pension money. 1 In Oregon and Washington there are probably 1000 persons "eligible for the pension li8t The widows of the pension ers are entitled to receive the full share, but at their death the allowance does not descend to the heirs. - . The government will not pay any back ,: money. The bill took effect from the date of its passage, and all the years of expectation and priva tion In some instances, will not be rewarded- Mr. Wood says that had he : known before what he does now, he could have had the retroactive clause .inserted. Since the measure passed her has discovered that under the array rules the Indian fighters who co-operated with the regulars In suppressing rebellions, are entitled to the same consideration as the United States troops. Mr. Wood was well satisfied to get the bill through in any shape. For the past seven years he hef Deen hammering away at the Sen ators and Representatives In Congress,' sad made & special trip to Washington at the last session In the Interests of the measure. l MontaviUa.

No definite plan of action has been outlined find tt Is Impossible to state whai sction may be taken." The gentlemen report having met with enthusiastic receptions at every place they have gone.

BELT LINE fl And Its Relation to the Great Central Road. Articles of Incorporation for the Belt Line Railway Company were filed yester day, as was briefly stated by The Jour nal. The new corporation is capitalized for 11,000,090. It is another sister corpora tion in the rapidly growing family of cor porations of the Great Central Railroad Company. W. L. Green, John W. Cook and John K. Kollock are the Incorpora tors. The objects of the new enterprise, as announced by the articles, are the con struction and operation of railway tele phone and telegraph lines, with all 'nec essary spurs and branches, between some point on the north shore of Coos Bay or from some point on the coast of the Pe el tic In that vicinity. Such line, it, Is pro posed, shall skirt Coin Bay, extending around to the south side. Chief Engineer Kinney left lust night for Coos Bay to settle upon the question of a wharf location, which tiMtlon will be decided between Saturday night find Mon day morning next. Wherever Mr. Kinney decides to have the wharf built, will ba the terminus of the new line. This being- so. It does not necesaurlly follow, by any means, that Empire will be the place selected, though It may be. It Is easy to see that with a belt line, the Great Cen tral can take an independent course and select any terminus It may desire. It is entirely unhampered by being compelled to ask favors or bonuses or assistant from any community. It is well known to be amply provided with means to carry out every enterprise It may undertake. The steady and consistent course thus far pursued; the practical business way of carrying out every preliminary meas ure; the logical advancement, -step by step, shows that there are clear-headed men back of these great enterprises. So much earful preparation, such a minute and systematic way . of working out every little detail, certainly would bespeak a line of "more than mere local Importance to run from Salt Lake to Coos Bay. Day by day the evidence Is piling up that this new line the Great Central and nil its sister corporations Is assuredly a part of'janother great transcontinental sys tem. The fact that Mr. Hammond has gone to New York to dispose of the Astoria A Columbia road, as has been argued, In order that he may co-operate with Mr. Harrlman In other directions, is falr reasonable. At the time of Mr. Harrl man's visit to Portland, about two months ago, he and Mr. Hammond were In close conference. Whnt It was all about no one knows, and these gentle men did not Inform the public. It Is be lieved that the absorption by Mr. Harrl man of the Astoria & Columbia was at least considered, and perhaps agreed up on. This would leave Mr'. Hammond free to act in other directions. . It Is evident that the Great Central would draw a great deal of business away from the Harrlman lines, and Its exceeding activity may have decided tho sudden eastward trip of Mr. Hammond. If, as nas been all along believed, the Gould Interests are backing up the Grent Central 'or other Interests equally as pow erful, the struggle for supremacy In Ore gon between the unknown power back of the Great Central throne end that of the Harrlman lines, should prove a battle of the giants of finance a4 railroad In terests. This can only reault'ln' Inestim able benefit to Oregon. BIG BUILDING BOOM STARTED With the settlement of the many building trades strikes which haye afflicted Portland this season comes a renewal of the building booms. The office of Plumbing Inspector Hulme is now working early and late and when the erection of many new buildings now planned Is begun It Is expected that the duties of himself and his"1 associates will be still further increased. Mr. Ilulme says: ','From now on until late ln the fall I expect to see. great activity In the building line. Had it not been for the many strikes this summer, I believe we should have seen a banner building year in Portland and from the many proposed buildings of which I am cognizant 1 still believe the remainder of this season will establish a record. Numbers of fifie res idences are being projected, and every architect's office in the city Is now Over run with work." CROP CONDITIONS. (Journal Special Service.) ROSEDALE. Or., July 18. The recent high winds did some damage to the or chards In Marlon County in the way of breaking trees and thinning fruit. Win ter wheat is coloring, rapidly, and spring grain and all growing crops show Im proved conditions. Hay making, with the exception of late grown hay, is near ly completed. IN WHEELER COUNTY.

PERSONALS. Miss Bessie Miller, of 650 Taylor Street returned last evening from a six weeks' visit w;ith her brother, at Rossburg, much Improved In health. Attorney A. it.

Grahara. alias Clark, arrested yesterday by detec tive Cordaeo, after a hard fitfht. An official of the Chehalis reform schooT from which the prisoner escaped bout two wtuki ago, arrived on the scene yes terday afternoon-and nuxle u request on the local pollco for Graham, Baying that he had a prior claim on the prisoner, as he had time yet to serve in the Washing ton reform school. As a matter of fact, the youth still bus time li.uigirig over his head In the Oregon reform school, from which he escaped pievlmis to breaking into the Washington Institution. Tnking this Into con.-lil. ration, und the fact that the arrest was made at the in stance 0 Sheriff HuntiiiKton, Chief Mc Iauchlan refused the request und turned the prisoner over to tho Sheriff. By come, who think they know it all, Chester Graham has been confounded with Jack Clark an ex-pi ize fighter. The prisoner is only a youth und never had a prizefight In bis life. He is only 17 years of age, and before turning burglar, used tr hung around local play houses, where lie distributed bills and lithographs for a precarious living. In uonversation With detective Cordano at the station last evening, the Superin tendent of the Chehalis reform school made a strong argument why Graham should be turned over to him. The officer could not see why the reform school wanted such a desperate character on their hands. . "Oh, that's nothings" was the reply. "VVe have some over there more desper ate than Graham. We bimply want him to serve his time." "Well, I think It Is better to send him to the 'pen' for a few years." was Cor dano's reply. "You folks can't control him and he will only harden your more youthful charges." Each Inmate of the reform school costs the state so much per head. The object of the Chehalis Officials In recapturing a runaway Is obvious 10 (Journal Special Service.) WALLA WALLA, Wash., July 18.
