O'Brion, general managnr of the liarriman liaea In the PaoiHo Northweut. has beeu advised that tbe exDeodittire of 1(300.000 baa been au thorized by tbe executive Hoard of tbe O. R. & N. Co. for the itraigbten luff of curves and tbe practical it building of the line from Xroutdala to Bonneville. As aoon as aurveyi can be run. estimates made and con traota Int. the work will be begun and large force of men put to work to accomplish tbe construction witnin tbe shortest possible time. It la ex nected to comnlote tbe work by late next fall. Tbe road from Troutdale to Donne' ville was one of the most difficult piuoea of railway work ever done in the northwest, as well as one of tbe most expensive. For the seventeen miles to be rebuilt, the estimates call for the erixenditure of 18.000 to the mile. 1'he line winds along tbe base of the bluffs, bugging them closely to avoid the river, wbioh runs close to the track the whole distance. Tbe curves run up to a maximum of ten degrees in several places, and tbs heavy grades binder the fast and economical operation of trains. Tbe new roadbed will have no curves of greater degree than 1 per cent and will do away with about thirty feet of up and down grades in the 17 miles. Tbe road to be improved runs through tbe heart of tbe Caaoades and gives access to some of the best seen ery iu the world. Curves will be sraighteued by means of extensive fills with onouslonal outs and tbe blasting away ot rooky blutfs wherever neces sary. No additional tunnels will be bored. Several trestles along (be line will be done away with. It is estimat ed that when the line is rebuilt curves aggregating ItHK) degrees will be elim inated, and while the grades on the stretch of traok to be improved are not difficult now, easier ones will be established and the roadbed from Troutdxie to Bonneville made uniform with tlio Hue for the remainder of the diHtnnoe fiom Portland to The Dalles, which Is a "00-mlle an hour road bed. " Throe years ago 11,500,000 was spent on theO. It. & N. line from The Dulles to Bonneville, making it first cliiss. More money will be spent on the line above The Dalles later, as the iimnngors of the system realize that what Is a flrst-olass line today may not be so in a few years henoe. The work to be done will be very ex penlsve for the short distance covered. A section of tbe work near tunnel No. 1, close to Corbett, only .21 of a mile iu length, will cost at the rate of HI, KI8 per mile. The iinproveuieu . of this section of road Is iu line with tbe modern rail road policy which, during the fat years provides for the leau oues by cutting down grades, sraighenlng ourves and In every possible way mak ing the hauling of freight and passen gers cheap for the operating depart ment. Chronicle. ROGUE RIVER VALLEY HIT HARD BY FROST A Fine Volume. K. 11. Shepard has received a volnm. ou horticulture published by the New York State Agricultural department that is as tine a specimen of the print er's art as it is often any one's privi lege to see. The volume is devoted to a description of the various apples grown in the Umpire Htate accompan ied by cole red plates of the different varieties. The ooior work is exquiiste, the shades and tints of the different colors being perfect and the apples give the impression that they can al most be picked off tbe pages. The desoriptive matter Is exact and ex haustive and the book Is one of rare value to one interested in pomologlcal pursuits. Its intirnsio vale is also oousldeiable and the edition was no doubt limited, as books ot the kind usually are and it is very probable that but few of them have been sent outside the state of New York. Low Kates From Eastern Points. From February 15 to April 7, and September 15 to October 31, I'.HRi, sec ond cIhss oolonist tickets will be sold from all eastern points to points on ami via the (). K. A N. These tickets will be g.tod for stop-overs of ten days at one or more stations, regardless of limit on tickets. From Missouri river common points, Kansas City, Kt. Joseph, Atchison, Onmlia. Sioux City, St. Paul and lu luth o Portland the rate is t'l't, and to Spokane and points east of Umatil la to Huntington, f.'l&O. For rates from points not given here, apply to any O. H. A N. agent. If so deired tickets may be pur based at this end and prepaid order sent to party us iug it. The freeze of tbe night of Match 14 was more general In Its consequences than at first supposed, as it now ap pears that the damage to the Bartlett pears, the de Anjous and tbe llowells was quite serious, more than three Suarters of tho buds being apparently ed after exposure to tbe sun of yes terday afternoon. It was known that tbe damage was extensive so far as ap ricots, peaches and almonds were con cerned, but it was first thought tbe pear bad all escaped. Close examina tion shows tbe winter Nells and tbe Cornice to be uninjured, but while tbe setting of bnds on tbe Bartletts was very heavy, It is now questionable if there will be more than half oiop of them, while It looks as if the llowells and the de Anjons are wiped out. It is little too early to pass judgment, but It will be only owing to tbe heavy setting of frnlt buds, and tbe large proportion of dormant buds, if there are auy of those two popular varieties of pe irs for shipment from this valley. Fortunatoly the winter apples have escaped uninjured, and large or ip is looked for in Yellow Newtown and the ' Spitzenburg ' varieties. The weather now Drevalllna leads to the supposition that the bloom will ap pear rathor later than usual this sea son, and will be less liable than usual to damage from late frosts. 1 This Is the first time in the history of the Rogue Kiver valley when exten sive damage has been done to even early fruits by a freze such as that of Wednesday night, and it will doubt less prove to be the case, as usually happens wbeu fruit men oialm the crop is lost, that there will be ample for at least local consumption in tbe valley. The principal commercial fruits are winter apples and peats, and it is stated by those oompetent to judge that there will be an abundance, witb the exception of tbe varieties noted. Journal.

US WILL DRAIN LAND AT TROUT LAKE The abutting land owners on Trout Luke are considering a plan to drain the lake. This being done, about 1000 acres can be put into cultivation. The state will be usked to contribute its share of the expense as a considerable amount of school laud is inoluded in tbe drainage project. The part mostly under consideration is tbs marsh land, or what is better known to set- tleis as tbe meadow lana. in raot, this wild meadow is not profitable. Often the water does not drain off euouiib to enable any bay lo be se cured. Then, again, it is of very poor quality, hardly Ut for stock cattle, and It is said gives horses blind stag gers. Now with Trout Creek dredged, say as far down as the Uuler hotel, no doubt can exist but what tbe mea dows can be drained. The marsh land undoubtedly is extremly fertile, tbe sedlm ut having formed for years. and instead of tbis wild grass 1 to 0 IohcIb to the acre of clover or timothy hny could be raised. Then, agjln, tbe M'hool land which lies in tbe bog is at piesent worthless but If drained would be worth perhaps $75 or more per acre. An united effort should be made by the land owners who would be benellted by the drainage system. We predict that within two years ut least a 1 irge saw mill wilt be located in tbe Trout Creek pass some place near the meadows and no doubt but what good land will be eagerly sought after by lie settlers tloldendale Sentinel.
