UNDERWOOD NEEDS RAILROAD STATION Myrun S Smith, the Underwood merchant, was lo the city Monday and eald that there were good pros pects tbat Underwood woold at leaat bare a platform to load fruit ou the North Bank trains, and tbat In fact tba train waa already stopping to let off passengers at that place, lie snid It waa reported tbat a platfoim baa been ordered built at Underwood and no doubt provision would be made to load strawberries tbia year at tbat place. The atation at Hood, their nearest railroad atatiou at the present, la practically Inaooesiable to Under wood. Ther is no road to tbe plaoe od tba only way to get there ia to walk down tbe track (or two miles. It liea at tbe toot of a steep bluft and cannot be reached Irom tbe top of tbe mountain above, while along tbe liver there ia no wagon road to tbe plaoe from Underwood. Tbe farmers are spending 1600 on tbe new road op tbe valley, which waa built tbree tears ago, and it is the beat road out of tbe White Salmon valley, being a watei grade and much shorter than tbiuugb White Salmon, while saving a very heavy grade now existing on the White Balmon road. Tbe railroad company now bas a steam shovel at work just west ot Un derwood taking out boulders aud rook, loading tbree train loads a day, wbiob ia being taken to riprap the road just below Stevenson, opposite the rock being removed will make room tor a sidetrack at Underwood, and there is no doubt the business which will come to Uuderwoid trom tbe valley will make a side track and atation absolutely necessary at Uuder wood, or tbe business will be ferried across tbe river to Mood Kiver and loaded on tbe U. K. & N. trains, as It will be oheuper to bring It here than to take it to Uingen, aa the loca tion ot tbe Hood station is inacoess able from the White Salmon valley. The improvement Club at Under wood ia holding eatbusiastio meetings twice a month, aud doing much good. A local baseball association bas been formed, wbiob ia making amusement (or the lovers of this sport. Sunday a game was played at Husuni, but the club met their second defeat for the season, tbeUusum club being tbe via tors. Ibe White Snlmoq team was also on band to contest with tbe win ner, and the Husum team won tbe second t me Tbe return game will be played at Underwood. A basket aoulal and dance given at Smith's bail Saturday eveuiog, for tbe benefit of tbe club, netted $55.50 from tbe sale of baskets. Tbe work on the abutment of tbe bridge across Wbito Siilmon is belug; finished this week, aud ready for the; heavy travel of tbe road. j The J. N. Teal, Capitol City and, Dalles City boats are now making regular stops at Undei wood aud will be able to take care of some of the berry business which cannot be bandied by tbe railroad. Mr. John Rilm, of Vining, la., says: "I have been selling DeWitt a Kklne ' and Bladder Pills for about a year and they give better siiticfaition than any pill I ever sold." Sold by Keir & Cass. Spencer Starts Rate War. Captain E. W. Spencer, owner of tbe steamer Cha. K. Spencer, bas announced a summer sobeduie for bis boat and also h cut in rates' wbiob promises to make a lively summer in steamboat circles.

Ou Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday he will make a trie to Tbe Dalles. Sunday excuision will alter nate between tbe two plaoes. 1 have decided to make tbe rute tl from Portland to either i be Dalles or As toils. The statement of Captain Spencer marks tbe opening of one of tbe fierc est rate wars that has been known In the history- of steamboatintt on the Willamette and Columbia Jriverp, When questioned iu legard to tbe re ductions, General Manager Talbot said: "For tbe pott two months we have been considering the matter ot plaoiug the eteauer Bailey (Jatzert ou tbe run between Portland and As toria. The question is bel ig consid ered and 1 caunot at this time nay whether the boat will go ou tbe lower tuu or not. However, I will say that any cut iu rates will be promptly met by my company."

Tire of Tbe Dalle was narrowly averted bout three o'clock on tbe Sana Johns grade on Mill creek, about half mile from the city yesterday after noon. Tbe anto containing the party, Con stance Fieuob, Winifred Wilson and Helen Hudson, witb tbe chauffeur, Mr. Koot, ot Hood Kiver, was olimb ing tbe grade which ia steep one, bordered on on aide by a deep ravine and asperated from tbe road by shrubs and trees, wben tbey decided to go no (uitber because of tbe poor condition of tbe road. Aa tbe road is too narrow at this point to admit of the anto turning round tbe chauffeur tiaoan in harkr dowu. In some anaoconnUble wnv the (root wheels caught on a stump which waa Dartiallv iniha.trl.ul in th road, wresting the steering wheel dom tbe cbautteur'a bands.
