SAYS HARRIMAN IS FIGHTING

Mr. Reid alleges that the Harriman
interests have employed obstructive
tactics to prevent tho consummation
of the Nehalem company’s plans by
cabling iuaocurute statomouts to Lou
don.
“But we have received word from
our Loudon people,’’ said Mr Reid,
which indicates that they are not
deceived and we are confident that we
will be able to carry to completion
the plans for our road aud that before
long we will be hauling freight and
passengers into our city over our
line.”
The Nehalem company claims to
have received from the llarriman
people a proposal to give them an ex
clusive tonnage agreement with aeon
nection at Hillsboro.
“We rejected, and shall reject, all
such offers,” said Mr. Reid.
Our
plans call for a connection with both
the Southern Pacific and the North
ern Pacific for entrance into Portland,
and we shall never consider any other
arrangement.
The idea is to bavo
the two connections to give shippers
the option of routing over either the
Southern Pacific or the Northern
Pacific, ’o as to prevent the control
of the traffic ftom passing into the
bands of eitbor of those roads.”

And well I know wert Thou again
To seek for friendly hearts.
That Thou wouldst pass the manor house,
And pass the city's marts,
And say to some most lowly soul—

A more abundant yield.

UP ÎO DEATH.
Feeling;* of n Man Who Fell Into an
Abandoned Shaft.
P. I). Smith, an old book man, tells
a most interesting story of how it feels
to be buried alive, says the Los Angeles
Record. For quo hour he lay at the
bottom of a deserted mine shaft and
was only saved by a dog that whined
and howled at a neighbor’s house. Just
after a recent storm Mr. Smith went
prospecting in Deer canyon, a branch
of the Pig Tejunga, in the San Fernan
do range. ITe was removing some tim
ber about the top of an old shaft, when
the rotten wood gave way and carried
him to the bottom of the shaft. A heavy
load of timber and earth followed.
Strange to say, he was uninjured and
lay free from immediate danger in the
dark, damp space left by the boards.
Gloomy were the thoughts that filled
'¡is mir.d as he lay there and thoughts
■f his past life and the friends he
vould never see again, for the shaft
vas one which had been covered over
load and lost to the knowledge of the
teighborhood for years. Moreover, it
’.as a mile and a half from the nearest
louse. Once or twice he shouted, but
ds voice sounded sepulchral as it
echoed in muffled way between the
•verhanging walls and reverberated in
his cars. For one hour he lay there in
his cramped position, while gloomy
thoughts passed in frightful procession
through bis mind.
Fortunately, his little dog was with
him. “B om ” is a particularly intelli
gent dog, and after the accident to his
maater went to the nearest house and
acted so strangely that Mr. Walton, the
owner, followed him to the shaft.
There he found and rescued him.
Superintendent Wiley made an nppor
tionnient of all school moneys on hand

portioned to each district from the
County Common School Fund, and
$3053.20 of the State Irreducible School
