Sunday moraine If. D. Price and
W. M. Dunlap of Mcdford came out
oa their way to Blue canyon, and
when they arrived and learned that
thoir traveling companions had gone
on with n team they were in a des
perato hurry to get on, so they char
tered n rig and your correspondent
to engineer it, to tako them to Butte
Falls. So, starting at 10 o'clock u.
jn., we went on, and by 2:30 reach

Butto Falls there wore not many peo
plo stirring, as many of them had
gone to the near-by timber to try
to stop tho ravages of tho fire that
bid fair to destroy a vast amount of
timber, but I could see that tho town
bad unproved somo considerable
since I was there last. Those whom
I saw were quite enthusiastic over
tho prospect of a railroad in the
Bear future. I also noticed that the
contractors are rushing the work
along, grading, making cuts and fills,
scattering ties along the route and
getting ready for tho steel.
That Sunday night they had the
track laid across tho Vestal place,
making about three miles of track
they had laid during the past week,
and that they were about two miles
from tho first bridge there is to
build, and that they are rushing ev
erything on to completion.

Western Idaho and Eastern Ore
gon to Newly Discovered Fields
m
on Oregon Border.
WEISER, Idaho, Aug. 3. The
discovery of un extensive goldfieid
15 miles from this city in Oregon
has caused a regular mining stam
pede from this city and Ontario, Or.
Today 25 or 30 men left this city in
automobiles for the new field, and
it is said that more than double that
many have left Ontario.
The discovery was made by two
Weisor men Juno 20, nnd they kept
tho find so secret that but little was
known of it until yesterday after
noon. Two assays from the claim
of the discoverers, given by a Ta
coma assayer, returned $18 and
$102 per ton. More than 50 claims

ance company. Ho remained over
night and said that ho, expected to
return in a short time.
Wo had little excitement in our
uuiet little village last Monday aft
ernoon. Mr. Nygren, who lives on
tho old Ounno place, came out in
the morning to meet two lady friends
a Mr??. Jones of Woodvillo and
her two children, and n cousin from
Grants Pass, who were going up on
Little Butto for an outing, and just
as they got started one of the horses
became frightened, broke n breast
strap and that let the tongue down,
then the horses began to kick,
breaking the crossbar and bending
one of tho rounds of the hack, andl
the ladies jumped out and the one
from Grants Pass hurt her hand nud
one knee auite badly, and as they
were afraid to ride behind that team,
they procured a rig at the Sunnyside
Stable and went on to their destina
tion. Thomas Christie came out Tues
day morning to take charge of the
freight business at tho P. & E. de
pot, and Mr. Bacon, the old agent,
will take charge of a train of cars
on the construction work.

and Shields and Mr. Potter called
for a short time. They, hi company
with Rev. McLnin of Grnuts Pass,
had been to Butte Falls and report
having organized a Presbyterian
church with ten members and twelve
adherents. These are those who do
not belong to the church, but will
throw their influence to help the
cause along. They did intend to try
to build a church, but the people did
not give them the encouragement
they wanted, so they have abandoned
tho idea for the present.
FIGHT ON FORI?

Commercial Organizations of Coun
try Preparing for Finish Contest
With Express Companies Chicago
and New York Take Lead.
CHICAGO, III., Aug. 3. Commer
cial organizations throughout the
country are preparing to engage in
a finish fight with the express com
panies with a view to securing great
ly reduced rates.
The first gun in the campaign was
fired yesterday when the Chicago
Association of Commerce and 123
other influential commercial organ
izations in all parts of the country
filed a petition with the interstate
commerce commission asking that
body to make an investigation on its
own motion into the charges made
by express companies nnd into the
revenues thoy are enjoying.
The movement against the express
companies was started by tho Chi
cago Association of Commerce and
tho New York Merchants' associa
tion, tho former including some of
tho most powerful organizations in
tho west, and the latter influencing
those in tho east to join the move
ment. It is said that sufficient data
has been gathered to warrant tho
commission in rjducing the express
charges by fully 50 per cent,
Attorneys J. W. Griggs and B. L.
Pairchild have been retained by the
associations to assist the commission
in its investigation.
