i(.qurement
Negotiations between the Oregon Valley Land Com
pany and the Nevada-Cab fornta-Orcgon Railroad Com
pany were concluded yesterday which insures the building
of the railroad into Goose Lake Valley during the pres
ent summer. For some time
engineer of the railroad has been endeavoring to secure a
right of way through the XL ranch along Pitt river, but
not until vesterdav would he bind himself to build the
road in any given time. Under such conditions it was
impossible for nim to secure the right of way through
that property, which is now owned by the O. V. L. Co.
ilowevr, immediately upon his arrival here Mr. Oliver
sought out V. Lair Thompson, the attorney for the 'com
pany, and a contract was drawn up whereby the right
of way was secured in consideration of the road being
built this summer into Goose Lake Valley.
While no particular point to which, bis plana, yet it is evidently bit de
the road shall build It mentioned in ' sire to buld this road tbrnogh to
tha contract, yet It Is expected that ! Lakevisw at the earliest possible
the lowsi- end ot tne lake will be' moment, at tha same time making
rvecbeJ within a few months. Rails ; proper provision for extending it
are now laid to point oear the
mouth ot n mayon, nil By Lallfl-"
log distance of some seveu miles
through the canyon Uoose Lake Val-
ley would be reanbd and the term
of the contract tullfllled. The con -
tract for the construction work will

pleted as rapidly as possible.

Tbe Committee from the Women of

N. C. O. Now Hustling:
Altuias Kenuhlk'au : The case of
the N. C. O. agalust Thompsou was
compromised and dismissed Ibis,
week. The jury as selected aud
the trial of the case oommeuced. Tbe
jury hud viewed the premises In dis
pute when it was finally agreed that
some settement should be made.
Tbe railroad flualtj settled by giv
ing Thompsou all be asked, and
changed their right of way iu order
to avoid tluterferlng with tha ir
rigation system uow established ou
tba Thompson ranob. Tba railroad
not only aettled this matter but it
has let tied with Mrs Myers for the
right of say which it took across her
land when the road came hue. This
outfit has also paid for aoother right
of way or two.
The action of the road lately would
seem to Indicate that there might be
oue troth In the newspaper repert
that the road li about to be sold to
the Southern Tanitlo.
It may be on tba verg of sale and i
the Hoot hero Pacific is compelling j
the outfit to atmighten up these rr.at- j
tern before taking the r.md over. ;
There must be aume stimulus actuat
ing this road for it haa uever been
knon In Llstory to take such a spell
of diong right before.
Seeing by Telegraph
TalviHou, the science of seeing
hundreds of miles by tbe means of a
telegraph wire, is a step near reali
zation. Edouiand Hello, a young
French aoieutiat, baa perfected aoti
aooo will test publlcaly an apparatus
which actually it is said, will take a
pictor. telegrapoically. Thus tbe
image of persoo or article before
an objecMve lens in New York would
appear practically instaneoos on a
negative in San Francisco at tbe otbtr
end of tbe line. About two years ago
It will be remembered, a Uertnau
professor tamed Knrn interested the
scientific world by exhibiting an in
strument capable of transmitting
pbotograpba telegraphically. Pic
tures obtained were Imperfect, bow
ever, aod showed practically no de
tail. Mr. Kerlin. following Professor
Horn's lead, has perfected a tele

Senate committee on poets and tele
graphs Is much interested.
