LAST OF THE HERD . , I Not a little excitement was created In the city Wednesday afternoon when ;Frank McCartney came riding In about 1 o'clock on horseback from the mining (district eaut of the city and announc ed that he had seen the last of the elks jwhkh um4 to roam in this vicinity on a side hill near the Perry mine, Just (this side of the Virtue. He was an old buck, all alone." and was lean In flesh and Jadfnl. Evidently the king of the forest Mas a long ways off his range jand wa tired and sore. He carried a imagnlfient pair of antlers and when last seen was headed In the direction of iPowderj river. It has been very many years Firwo an elk, and leader of the iherd, has been seen so near Baker City. As soon as the news was spread, Joe jBuckley got a number of men together, furnlshcd them horses, and sent them pout on h9 trail In an effort to capture the elk; alive. It is reasonable to sup pose that Mr. Elk now being within the limit of civltlxation. thin and tired from a. long journey and surrounded by biirbed !wlre fences, will not be difficult to rapture. If he Is secured Mr. Buck ley will plnce him !i the new cltyj park. Baker City Democrat. ' FARM RESIDENCE BURNED I The Una farm residence of Mrs. J.

Company Will Have to Put on An other Train BETWEEN . SAN FRANCISCO -AND ' PORTLAND IN ORDER TO ACCOM MODATE GROWING BUSINESS 1 NEW DEPOT TO BE ERECTED AT , THE FAIR GROUNDS. : ; There has been a wonderful increase In the passenger traffic over the lines of the Southern Pacillc "-Railroad, and tne tendency Is still upward. The In crease Is not only due to the arrival of the many emigrants from the Eastern states, but to a heavy local traffic as Well. The Southern Pacific Company has round Its present service to be al most Inadequate to properly handle the increased traffic over its Oregon-Cali fornia line, and information comes from a; reliable source that an additional through train is to be put on between Portland an San Francisco. It may be noted that the passenger traffic in and out of Salem has grown to such proportions that the company finds it necessary to add another man to Its present force at the local passen ger depot, and It Is understood this will be done in the very near future. Anotner project under way by the Southern Pacific Company is the build lug of a passenger depot at the State Fair Grounds. This building will be erected for the accommodation of the company's patrons who travel to and from that point,, the number of whieh is increasing at a rapid rate. As soon as the traffic justifies It is the Intention of the company to station an agent In the new depot, which will "be a great convenience to the people of that sec tion.

On the route he noticed that at Che mawa work bad been commenced on the new dormitory for the accommo dation of the Indian girls attending the Salem Indian Training School. A gang of laborers were at work on the foun-. da t ion. and several cars loaded with brick stood on the side track. Gray Bros., of this city, who have the build ing contract, expect to be about, eight months in completing the structure.
