"COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE" A Pretty Straight Tip that the Railroad Men Here Last Week Represented Hill. The old ad7, "Comloit eveuts cast their shadows before' Is soon to receive another exemplification in Kastern Oregon. Tbe more closely scrutinized Is that rush of railroad men, meotloned In Tbe Kxamlner last week, tbe more el, indicant does It become In tbe way of early development of tbe rail road sitnatlou for this section of Ore w on. In dlsciissliiU the matter with a well-informed strauuer, recently ar rived lu town The Kxamlner waa In fromed that one of the geotlmen was surely an engineer of international fame formerly connected with tbe Panama canal, who Is now known to be closely identified with James J. Hill. He says be knows tbe man, by siubt, aud be is positive of his iden tification. The party were taken to Klamath Falls by Dan Mslloy, and be aays be don't kuow who they were, but be doet know that money w uo object wltb tbem, and be heileves them to be blub ups iu the rsilroad world judging from tbe plriug of questions aud tbe cross examination they sob jceted blm to, in eliciting Informa tion aa to the resources of 'he country on every concelveable topic, which a long residence here has placed at bis tongue's end.

A slight tncerase of rates is made by the autos, but the comfort in travel, an 1 saving of time, on either route more thao bompenbates for tbe extra cost. Hard Luck on Man Who has 24 Wives A few mouths ago, an old obap named Chris. Johuson, started out to marry all tbe womeu poaaible. lie auoceeded in securing 21 that are known, and other counties yet to hear from, in bia ebort career.

L L Hopkins Starts For South American L. L. llopkias, late of Shanghai, China, who has beou visiting with bis father, Mark Hopkins, left yes terday, after a mouth's stay with old friends. He goes from here to the Seattle fair aud will go form there to liueuos Aires, Sooth America, wmre be will remain soma years, and prob ably will visit every country of the southern continent, before be aguln visits Lakeview, tbe home of bia boy hood. The best wishes of all go with bim in his wanderings. Soma oue baa figured out that the average young obap when be is fit tu be turned loose Ir nlmseit costs about f 1,000.

P. officials got after blm and began plying him wltb questions as to the Identity of tbe mysterious strangers. In putting this and that together, and taking note of tbe outside rail red talk mentioned elsewhere In this issue of tbe Kxamlcer, it will be no surprising thing to see tbe dirt Hyinv In a dor.en different places in Eastern Oregon, early In tbe coming fall.

ELECTRIC RAILROAD IS TO BE BUILT IN Capital Ready to Build a Line from Portland to Butte, with Branch Feed Lines A special dispatch from Tbe Dalles to the Portland Journal, dated July 3. aayt that the largest mortgage ever leoorded in Wasco county baa bea Hied with tbe county cierk by C. D. Charles a trust deed given by tbe Wacao County Klectrio Power Com pany to tbe Carnegie Trust Company of New Vork. to secure bond issue not to exceed 915,000,000. Tbe tUing fee for this instrument was $19.80. Tbe Wasco Electrical Company baa I iclE?rtd J,"UI?KB,fCBp,lta' of 13.000,000 and wltb its prln- clpal office at Condon. Tbe par- , poses of tbls company are to take over tbe property of tbe Oregon Gold Prospecting k Developing Company, ; which controls 30 miles of water rights on tbe Deschutes river, reach ing from tbe mouth of Warm Spring I river to tbe mouth of il stoles river in I Crook county and a like stretch of water rights onitbe jobn Day river. 1 Tbe company's rights on the Des- ' chutes river are said to control one I of tbe finest water powers in the i world, a power which, It deveoped. wal'l generate not leas tban 500, I TT r I . l 1 . 1. T"k- Mr. Charles states tbat tbe com pany proposes to erect a plant at some convenient point on tbe Deschutes capable of developing 00,000 horse power, half of which bas been con tracted for a term of 200 years by tbe Portland, Baker City anc Butte rail road. Tbia company, it is under stood, proposes building an electric road from Portland to Butte. Mon tana. Tbe course of tbe road through Ore gon will be southerly and easterly from Portland through Clackamas county to tbe summit of tbe Cas cades, thence easterly through Warm Spring Indian reservation to the Des chutes river, crossing that stream at the mouth of Trout creek aod John Day river, tbence alons tbat river to Canyon City and across the Blue mountains to Baker City. This road, it is stated, will De electrified its entire length, and will consume a large part of tbe output of tbe Des chutes plant, and also of the plant to be erectd on John Day river. Network of Electric Lines. Aside from constructing a main line from Portland to Butte, the com pany proposes building branch linea runmog north and south, connecting wltb all tbe principal sections of cen tral Oregon, making a network of elcetrio lines throughout tbe eastern part ot tbe state, reaching from tbe Columbia river to tbe California aud Nevada Hues. Tbe report is current tbat arrange ments bave already been perfected for the bulldog of tbe first 117 miles, and that construction work will com mence August 1. Tbe line of this proposed road paea through some of tbe ricbets sections of tbe state, which when once given transportation facilities wi'l beoome continuous grain fie'ids and meadows. It also taps one of the best yellow pine belts on tbe coas1, and will bring within reach of the market millions of feet of the Huest finishing lumber tbat grows. Tbe eleotiio company, aside from furnishing motive power for tbe pro posed railroad, will make it possible to pump water by electric power out of tbe Deschutes aud John Day rivers for irrigation purposes, thus bringing under crltivatiou tracts of now worthless lands, which only require tbe toui'b of water to make them tbe most productive ou earth. These two enterprises, tbe electrio com pa. y and the proposed railroad, promise much for tbe development of eastern Oregon. The Apperson Auto Makes a Fast Record Max L.
