FARM TO BUILD AN ELECTRIC ROAD WANT JJI5.000 FOR ESTIMATES Meeting of Commercial Club Called U Meet Representative ef Wallace Coates Eagineering Co. At tbe request of 0. L. Vanderbllt. a meeting of tbe Commercial club was called Filday atternon, upon short notice, to meet dwsrd id. Uoudey, western manager for Wallace Coaxes bnglueeriog Uo., of Mew lork. President Davidson aud Vice Piesl dent Brock be I on out ot town. A. A. Jayne was eleoted to iresid at tbe meeting. Mr. Vanderbbilt stated tbat the ob ject ot tbe meeting was to discuss tbe question oi building an eleotrlo road tnrousn tbe valley, and aftei consider able correspondence and several in terviews with Mr. Ooudey, bad brought him to Hood River to look over the situation. Mr. Uoudey then adderssed tbe meeting and stated that tbe Wallace- Coat es company was composed of 11. U. Wallace, formerly cntet engineer of tbe Illinois Central; Frank K. Coates, formerly chief engineer of tbe Chica go Cheat Western; J. F. Wallace, formerly cblef eogiueer ot tbe Pana ma canal; Pliny L. Smith, attorney at law, and I. W. Snow, president or the Utto Uas ngine company, i'be business of the company was to make examinations, reports and sup ervise investments on steam and eleo trio roads, irrigation work, eto. ; m.IrA .VBinln.Mr.na mA unn.fs A. sign and oonstruot bridges, eta "they would investigate tbe pioject ot an eleotrlo road in Hood Kiver valley, and It found that the project is feasi ble, would assist lu llnauoing the proposition, it desired, i'be hiah stnuding, both financially and other wise, would carry weight In obtainlns capital to flnanoe any proposition they might recommend. In order to get at these facts, it would be neces sary to put an engineer in the field to make a study oi tne conditions, esti mates, proBpeots ot future as well as present business, and other details necessary to make tbe projeot a finan cial success. He wished to have an immediate answer, so he could wire Mr. .Wallace and have him on tbe ground, as bis word would be final as to the company financing and con structing tbe road. The cost of tbe preliminary work he stated would be $1500, which he said was about halt their regular charges, but tbat he made this low price as hehad another project of similar obaraoter, and tbe two could be attended to by Mr. Wal lace while here. He said ; tbis'money would have to be paid by Hood .Klv er people, and wanted the money raised that atternoon, as time was snort. Upon a question being asked if this report would beoome tbe property of those paying lor It, to be used at some futuie time, provided tbe Wal-laoe-Coates company would not un dertake to build tbe road. Mr. Uoudy said that it would, but tbat from what he could learn of the conditions exist ing here, it looked feasible, and be bad no doubt but what the examlna- j tion would prove tbat an eleotrio road would pay, and In tbat case his com pany would flnanoe and oonstruot the road it so desired He said that be would want local capital to subscribe for at least 125,000 of stock, to show their good faith and ensure coopers tlon. When asked why tbe company tequired this advance fee to be paid, when they could make . their regular tioflt out of construction and financ ing the project, Mr. Uoudey said tbat be bad five or six lequests a week to make similar examinations, many of which would not prove feasible, and it was necessary to make tbe prelim- nary charge in advance to proteot them. K, L. Smith stated that the valley needed an eleottic road, and would have to bare one within a very few years, but that be thought it was im possible to secure large stock sub scrlpions at borne. Tbe farmers bad need of most or their money to make improvements on tbeir farms. He al so wished tbere could be a certainty of putting tbe road tbioogb after the preliminary survey was made. Mr. Vanderbilt thought tbat 125.000 could be raised in tbe valley. Mr. Sproat asked tbe probable oost of construction. Mr. Ooudey stated tbat it would be anywhere from 110,000 to $30,000 per mile. C. K. Marshall, who has bad con siderable experience as an engineer in railrad building, said that tbere weie many conditions to be considered in biuldlng a railroad or eleotrlo line. He thought that tbe time was now ripe for building such a road, or would be in two or inree years at tne outside. He said that the transmis sion of power for an eleotrlo road was an important item. He thought that only such a line should be built as would have traffic connection with tbe O. K. Sc. N. but tbat cost of euob a road, that would allow tbe transfer ring of standard guage cars to tbe ma'ti line of tbe road might be pro- bi bit ire. The dirtereooe In the coit of oonstrution of a railroad which would handle freight cars of tbe O. K. & N. aud simply a ligbt trolley road, would he considerable, espeoi ally as to nrndes. Mr. Marshall said tbat he bad done some work in a small way himself on a railroad proposition in tbe valley, and might have some, thlntr to offer in the future. Aftei some more discuseion of the matter the question of raising a fund ot 11500 to do tbe preliminary work was left to a committee consisting of A. D. Moe, C. Dot b man and Cbas. Hall. Cost of Banning Newspapers. Verv few persons, comparatively. bave any aduquate idea of tbe im mense cost of produoina tuodern daily newspaper, peiticularly In tbe lame oitles of the country. Home ao thentio fiacres on tbe subject have re oently been made public aud will doubtless oooaaiou surprise to tbe un Informed. Tbe "compo-ltloii" (printers' weekly payroll), for instance,! on tbe Ualtimo American is 12000; on tbe Boston Globe. 14200: on the Olobe Deruooiat, 13000 on tbe New York Herald, 14000, and other papeis Jn proportion. Hills to: special telegrams are an other big item of expense. On tbe Chicago Herald a few years ago tbey ran to lt"O0 per montb ; St. Louis Globe-Democrat, 12,00U; San Fran cisco .Examiner, JU; Boston Herald, fouuu, and si. ou Kepaouo, Biuuu. Iben tbere la tbe white paper bill. whiob is greater than tbe others com bined. On tbe New York World it is aald to run f 700,000 per year, and on tbe New York American about tbe same, on tbe CbloagoNewa about 1250, 000. and on tbe Boston Clot and Heiald about $300,000 esob ; on tbe hnqoirer about $j00,U0U, and on many other papers it runs from $100,000 to fo.uuo every Vi montna. While it does not oost nearly so much money in proportion, to run a newspaper in a smaller town as In tbe large cities mentioued, tbe bill of ex penses would surprise many poisons who are not familiar with tbe bust oessy Ibere are few local industries that contribute more to tbe business life of tbe community by virtue of tbeir payrolls than tbe newspapers. Will Hold Branch Trains. Salem, Ore., July 26. Hereafter tbe O. K. A N. company will hold the train on tbe lleppner and Condon btanobes for an hour and a bait to al low passengers traveling on belated overland No. 1 to make connection with these trains, aud -til agents along the main line from Pendleton west will be notified of this change, that they may supply tbe information upon in quiry. Pawengeis on the lleppner branob will aiso be taken to Arlington promptly in future, on arrival at liitnnnAH .1 iinnr Inn afkan KIa 1 lll arrive at lleppner junction over two hours late. For the benent and oomtort of local trattlo between Pendleton and Portland, the company will arrange to place a olean coach on No. 1 at Pen dleton and will make aimilar arrange ments in connection with Wo. 5, It it an be done without causing serious delay to this train in picking up the extra oar at Pendleton. This informa tion is conveyed to tbe railtoad com mission in a communioation from General Manager J. P. O'lirieu, this afternoon, and is tbe direot result ot tbe commission's ettoits to seouie more satistaotoiy train service on tbe branob lines between Pendleton and Portland and on tbe main line, whiob bas been the basis ot so much com plaint from tbe patrons along these liues. May Write on Address Side. A new rule regarding tbe use of postal cards bas been made by tbe postotlloe depa'rtmeut at Washington. Herteofore only the address bas been allowed to appear on tbe faoe of tbe card. Now one third of tbe front or face measured from the left, may be used tor, tbe written or printed mes sage The remaining two-thirds of the front reserved lor tbe address alone. Besides this extension ot tbe writ inn soaoe it is allowed to attach to tbe cards very tbln sheets ot paper, provided the sheets completely adhere to tbe cards, and the sheets may have writing or printing or advertising. The post muter general says tbe ob ject In making tbe change is to put tbe postal cards on .tbe same footing as tbe new ."post cards," which have beoome popular. Under tbe new plan tbe postals will be treated iu all re spects as sealed letters, except tbat when tbey oan not be delivered tbey will not be returned to tbe senders. Impossible to Recover Columbia. Tbe steamship Columbia went down in from 400 to 000 fa'.homs ot water, wblob precludes any possibility of her ever being raised. Captain Jessen, of tbe Elder, is authority tor tbe state ment that the depth ot water at tbe paitioular place where tbe oatastrophe ooourred Is approximately 500 fath oms. He did not attempt to take soundings, stnoe merchant vessels are not equipped to reach such depths, tbat work being left to tbe navy de partment. 'there is no possibility oi tne Co lumbia being raised, because she rests In at least 400 fathoms ot water." said the captain, who played suob a prominent pait in tbe lescue of tbe survivois, "and she bas been beard ot for tbe last time." For Better Mall Service. For some time business men of Ibe Dalles have been greatly inconveni enced by tbe lateness of tbe arrival of their business letters in f ortiand. in stead of going down on No. 3, which leaves here at 4 :35 a. m.. they wait until No. 5. which is invariably late, and brings tbe mail Into tbe metrop olis, or ratber it is delivered too late to be answered by tbe night mail, so that an answer to a letter put in the otlloe this evenina would not te re ceived for two days In the most oases. At a meetius of the Business Men's association Inst night the matter was brouaht up aud tbe secretary in- straoted to take up the question with view to having it changed so tbat JN0. 3 carries tbe mail. Chronicle. Ray Moore Drowned at The Dalles. Kav Moore, son of O. W. Moore, legister of tbe laud office at The Dalles, was drowned in tbe Columbia last Friday. The young man was 15 years old, although small for bis age, and bad just learned to swim in tbe sloushs. While in bathing with an other boy be ventured out too fat, was caimbt in an eddy end went un der. His companion gave tbe alarm and it was some time before toe ooay ws recovered. The funeral was beld Sunday at Tbe Dalles. The Limit of Lite.

GREATER 'iSEGON STrffE FAIR TO BE HELD AT SALEM SEPT. 16-21 Many ImproTemeats Hare Beei Made la the (irooads aa Sew At tractions Keen red. The Greater Ore, on State Fair to be held In Salem September 16 to 21, inclusive, will be "one ot the blssest things that ever happened to tbe northwest," to uae oue enthusiast's exptession. Perhaps tbe people in aenertd. and especially those who hare been regu lar yearly lisitors at tbe fair, and wno nave noted tbe gruatb ot this pi oneer factor In the state's develop ment, are most interested In the Im provements and facilities for Increas ed usefulness which bava been added this year. ibe clang of tbe hammer has been beard lor many months at the fair gounds Under the magic sway ot an army ot workmen, old, dilapidated shaoks and barren wastes hare van ished and In their claoe new and sightly bulldtnss bave arisen, and green lawns and gardens have appear ed as if by an enchanter's touch. Ibe row of shacks ana stands, can dy stores and lunob counters, which formerly faoed the main pavilion, bas been entirely destroyed. Tbe dairy building which stood: near tbe walk from the entrance gate, has been moved northeast, ao that it now stands aoross tbe way from tbe pavll lou. Between tbe dairy building and the pavilion an expanse ot green lawns and flower beds, with beautiful statues and fountains, will greet vis itors at tbe 1907 fair. Tbe refreshment stands and aide shows will have a plaoe, but tbey will be restricted to a space lying east ot tbe pavilion. Here tbey will be group ed around three aides ot a hollow squaie, tbe open side to face the pa vilion. In the center of tbia square free open-air performances, balloon aaoens ens and band concerts will be given. It la also r tanned to throw stereoptican views, moving pictures and ooloied lights on tbe white walla of the pavilion and other buildings at night. Tbe removal ot all concessions to one district will be greatly apprec iated by fair visitors. Even In this plaoe restrictions will be made, and gamei of obance land traps to Joatch tbe unwary will be striotly prohibit ed. But the greatest change Is In the stock exhibits. Tbe entire collection of old, open-faoed barns bas been re moved, and in their plaoe twelve new, modern and sanitary Jstruotutes bave ieen erected. These show barns were designed with the Idea of providing tbe geatest possible comfort both to the exhibitor and the spectator. Tbey were bunt around an ovaL in tbe form ot tbe bob of a wheel with its projecting spokes. Tbe center space. will be used for the induing or stock. Openings bave been left through tbe middle of the barns to provide tor covered track to be built in the fu ture. Sheds will be constructed from one barn to another, thus fotming oovered Jtraok ot nearly a quarter of a mue in length lor winter training purposes. Ibe new barns will all be painted red, with white trimmings. Tbe best lumber In the old barns was used In the oonstruotion of these buildings. and thus hundreds ot dollars bve been saved to tbe state. . The barna are all set on ooncrete piers, and tbe lighting and veutilation Is perfect. vi the twelve new barns, nve are tor hoises, three tor cattle, two tor sheep, one for bogs and one foi goats. Altogether tbere ia an area ot almost two and one-halt acres under root. There are C98 stalls and 342 pens. making la total ot 1040 apartments for tbe'accommodation of livestock ex hibitors. In tbe horse barns tbere'are a great many box stalls. Two out of the three cattle buildings are double , barns. having passage ways between tbe heads of tbe animals a great im provement over former conditions, where tbe visitor was oompeiied to walk behind tbe animals,tthe point of view being far from advantageous and tbe danger of soiling tbe clotbea im milieu t. In tbe swine depaitment one pleasing feature Is the judging arena in tbu center of tbe building. By a system ot gates and runways every pen can be connected with this arena and all danger of escape la eliminat ed. Formerly it was necessary to take tbe animal out ot tbe pen, and fre- quenty the captive broke away and caused a lively obase aioond tbe grounds. Ibe old stand tor tbe Judging or stock which served Its purpose well but wblob In the new order of things would be useless, bas been built into tbe goat barn. Tbe poultry building bas been turned half way around, to faoe tbe main walk to tbe livestock department. It will also be enlaiged and remodeled. Thus tbe dairy build ing, poultry building aud livestock barns, which would uaturally be vis ited together, are all in convenient and uniform positions. These are only a few of the changes taking plice at tbe fair grounds. Minor Improvements are being made everywhere. To get complete idea of what Oiegon'i great fair will be tbe leader must visit tbe grounda for himself. Why not attend tbe fair, September 10 to 21? It is an educa tion In Itself.
