HOOD RIVER, GLACIER, THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1905. LYLE IS NOW ON BOOK KOAD CHANGES BRING NEW LIFE People There Mai to IJelieve North ern Paeille has Purchased the 0. K. x N. liy H Staff Cnrrei-i'on.lmit. l.ylo.Wusli., Jni,e -J-.-SaturJHv will be a red letter day in Lvle. The U. K. A N. radreid tl en passes into new hands Whose? ItiHt is the question that Uie wiseacres are trying to fath om. J ho syndicate that purchased the toad ih fouipoed of easterners, living in Uulaware.hutull think that the line Kalian hand of the Noitheru Pacillo is Imck of the move. Ono of the most mysterious gentlemen who has "hit the trail" for many days dropped io on the denizens and commenced to quietly Ket options along the Colum bia toward Portland ou an old pro posed so ney. It is pretty Kenorallv conceded that it is the work of the Northern Paoitlo. the now company that is to own the old road up to Ooldondalo will be the Northern FuciuV, it is pretty sure. The citizens of tho town are iad, in deed, of tho change. The old com pany and the shippers and tho citizens in Keneral did not et along well. The manage ment seemed to care little aliout accommodations, hut now that a company 'like the Northern Pacilic is taking hold, if it is true, it is pret ty sure that the load will lie extended into the Yakima valley. Owing to this, gossip has it that tho t). K. & N. is the purchaser, liiero is nothing in evidence to show whet company pur ch sad tie road, us tho salens a liliud. No man or party of men would l.o insane enough to pay a million dol lars for a road that would not pay in terest on a bond i'io of less than half that amount. The new road that- is a positive fore gone conclusion along the river will own this branch line, and it will be a line feeder for the new road. Of course it will knock out a great deal of business for the steam boats, but on the other hand, it will give an open ing by rail to tho great wheat fields of Klickitat and Yakima if the extension is made. Lylo has 1 "en injured of late. The arrangement of tho boats has taken a great deal of trade from the city. There 1ms been n hick of travel and the merchants have con' el lined bitter ly. There is no liner land in the world than thi,t which surrounds Lyle abundant in licit and plentiful in small grain. Now that the mountain is being so thoroughly developed it will not be iu' g, ren though there is no road at all, Mitil the merchants and all liung ,'n and around the city will experieui s mild, steady boom. In ttie construction of tho new road Lylo will iiiii., i!v bo situated to be one of the big points during the con struction. Tl e boats will land a great deal of the sup lies and it is pretty Kent-rally understood that the con struction v ork will start both ways from here, eouneetuig east and west. T. It. Coon, ex-mayor of Hood Riv er, who owns -W acres three miles from Lj lo, is cue who has been ap proached, ui:d stands ready to sell hiiid for a riht of way. Mr. Coon is a man of affairs who has had rather heavy business dealings, and he said to me : "1 have watched pretty closely since I was a kid tho workings of men with capital. I have seou companies go through mountains and enter terri tory that hooted at the very sugges tion before operation coinmonced. When capital gets ready to move you may look out for something, and 1 am thoroughly convinced with tho condi tions and with what I am positive of, that thoro is to be a general movement in this. section a'ld that Washington along tho Columbia loading to Port land is to l3 tupped. Who it is, that is a quandary, but it matters not, ow ing to tho concentration and the or ganization in railway circles." Mr. Coon is recognized as a fruit expert, in the J food Hiver valley as well as on ti e Washington side. He will soon have one of tho finest and largest commercial orchards in the state. ith tho new work and tho old orchi.id of .'orty acres ho will have eighty acres of Newtown Pippins. . I. li. Ii'c.vctt. '-'.ho lives four m'iles from I.yio,u..d .v ho has resided in that community for over twuity years, is oomliu ting a new residence. When it is c niplctod it will be one ot tho modern turn; houses along the Lylo ro id. It will bo two floors, the house large and roi my and of modern archi tecture. .. J. 0. Lyle, tho "grand old man" of Lyle, who has tho honor of hating tiio city named idter him, had a nar row escape from serious accident if not death, Friday atfornoon. lie was digging a cistern when a sudden thun der storm cau.e up . A bolt struck a huge fir near by and sent liber ana limbs through the air, tile shock being felt by him in the excavation. The mountains seemed to be en lire and the thunder followed the It rrilic elec trical stnini was deafening Mr. Lyle has lived on the mountain tince the unpleasantness in '01. and is not eai-ily f, jhle I, but lightning was a new ire to him, and it pretty generally used up tho nestor of Lyl.t. K. L. liooiman, of the Davenport Lumber company of Hood River, has ime of the line-tranches on the inoiin i.in. He took possession this spring !ii;d has made many improvements. Ho is contemplating building a new residence soon. . 11. Corvell, who livs about tw ive miles up the mountain from Lvle, is earning on an intoroting experiment. Harry McGowau of Port land, who is in the nursery business and who has a nomesieaa neai u, made arrangement with Mr. Coryell to rioud him seed of all kinds, thus mak ing a test of the soil. So far every thing that was sent has done flue but tbe tobacco. The patch looks like the pxperimontal portion at tho great ag riculturajcolieges of the country Mr. Coryell says that ho can raise ' any thing that grows." One of tne hustlers of Lyle and one who has confidence in the future growth is G. H. Pendleton, the real Estate man. He has some of the finest land that the sun ever shone on, to sbi w to prospective purchaser. W lth the new road an assured fact, there is uoquestiou but what he will be one of the fortunate ones when the situa tion changes and "Lyle is herself again." J R, Hensel, the liveryman, and by the' way, one who is thoroughly con. versant with the situation in and around Lyle, sees the cIoiuIh breaking and is preparing lor the boom that will surely come when the new road gets busy. G. W. F.ll ins, the congenial land lord of the Lyle Hotel, the home of all the commercial men, aud the trav ellers who like to be well takeu care of and thoroughly entertained, is a "stand patter" tor the city of Lyle. He is one of the workers and he is one of the bustlers and he clearly sees a future for the town. With the agita tion over the new road he takes it philosophically, saying that for many years he has been conlldent that the new road was coming, and that now the magnates bad concluded to gc ahead. Mr. Maclnnes, the merchant prince, is rubbing his bands and smiling blandly. He is one that will be bene fitted when "all roads lead to Lyle." The present management of the C. R. fe X. has been unpleasant to the citi zens of Lyle and very little encourage ment granted it, and the new change taking place the first is hailed with delight. Mr. Maclnnes has one of the fine stores of Washington and he stands ready with capital and confi dence to expand when time comes. In fact, be will be there first. Mrs. E. F. Hall, who baa the store at Upper Lyle, is not In the least dis turbed, for she appreciates that tbe only thing that will tend to injure her business is the cutting down of the bill. She is enjoying a good business, aud with the increase that will come from the new road she is content to stay where she is. "I homestoaded in this country," said she, "and always said every time I went over the hill aud up the hill that if I ever got around to it 1 would put in a store this side." And she did. Her trade has gradually in creased during the past few years. J.Uuger, the new and efficient post master of Lyle, is looking for tbe rush in mail matters when work commences on tbe new road. He has been in the office but four months, and it can be said to his credit that it was a wise appointment on the part of the Presi dent. He looks after his duties care fully aud is one of the enthusiasts over the city. E. B. Hewett, who for twenty-four years has lived four miles from Lyle, is one that says "come on with your road." The right of way will skirt his land along the river, aud he has consented to sell to the officials who are out securing optious. Columbia Grange No. 87, Friday eve ning, initiated live new members, and at the close of tbe work all enjoyed a social session when the younger folk took possession and held a dace. The grange movement is very strong iu around Lyle. Living as we do now when there Is so much organization, the grange can truthfully be called tbe farmers' combine. These weekly gath erings are happy events, the exchange of ideas is very valuable to all. Columbia grange feels just a trifle bigger than any other iu tbe btate. At the recent state convention, Miss Edna Campbell, who bad long been the secretary of No. 87, was choseu state secretary. Miss Campbell is the youngest officer ever elected iu the state organization and the distinction is recognized by her host of frieudB. She takes the matter in a manner clearly showing her to be the perfect woman that she is. One of the dele gates to the convention said : "When the convention had the pleasure ot seeing Miss Campbell, it was a fore gone conclusion that her selection would be nearly unanimous, aud it was. It is big odds for a man to try and best a protty girl." Shortly after the Heppner flood two years ago a tiny infant about three weeks old was fouud. All efforts during the past two years to locate any history relative to the parentage of the child has failed. Mr. and Mrs. I. ii. Hewett, living near Lylo, took tho child, and today it is one of the prettiest in the neighborhood. In a quiet way the work of tracing the child is going on, but the supposition is that the parents perished in the trued that swept the canon. Mrs. Hewett, while anxious to locate some thing about the child's patents, would dislike to lose it.for the little one I as won a warm place iu the hearts of all in tho Hewett household. About Lyle, and her People. I. II. Harlow has been in Portland do ing tlie fair. He tells wonderful things auout the jireat exposition. Miss Neva Pendleton, who has been making her home in Hood Itivcr, has been the guest of her parents fur sever.n davs. Miss (ieorgia Fitch, who has been attending college in California, is home for the vacation and says while Califor nia is a beautiful country, still Washing ton has more attractions for her than the land of "Sunshine and Flowers." Miss Nellie Chirk of Portland is the guest of her brother, J. H.Clark. he will remain during the summer.

H. Brooks and tbe edi tor went to Hood Kiver Saturday morning to attend the Oood Koads convention held there on that day. The meeting was well attended. theie being several excellent addresses by officers of the National organiza tion w ho are at the Portland Exposi tion this week. The evening's pro train was especially interesting, ster eoptican views being presented of roads taken from all parts of the world, both ancient aud modern. The program at Hood Kiver is to be repeated at The Dalles Tuesday of next week and is well worth eeeing. From these experts we learn that Klickitat county needs, more than anything else for road conduction, a ' steam roller witn ascaper attachment; two for that matter, one for east of I Kock Creek. Furthermore, the rock , crusher should be kept id operaion Culverts should be made of stone. 1 arched mason y, or 'tiling properly hose Deering people make implements the kind of binders and mowers and rakes that save work at busy harvest-time.

If this occurred every day, tho railroad company would have no objections. A brother-in-law of Mrs. Kvan, who resides at Vancouver, was ou the train. He expects to buy a farm and make his home hero.

On the Regulator from Tho Dalles were tho Wasco county otlleials, among whom wero Treasurer Donnell and Clerk Holton, formerly Ooldondalo residents.

Tho Wasco man was windod aud hail to be car ried into the coining county seat of Cascade county on a stretcher. Several former residents of Oolden- dale and Klickitat county were met with during the day. Dr. Carey Jon kins is the leading dentist end has a beautiful home.
