Looks CRooKRp. Monday MissMin-
ME Anderson arrived from the East and
went TO Mr. Louis Anderson's, in the
country. Coming here she met with a
peculiar experience. After leaving st
Paul she was approached by man, who
secured her name, where she was going,
etc. On arrival in Portland she was met
by another man who knew all about her,
who took charge Of her trunk, and levied
various fees, s,claiming 10 be an immigrant
agent. She came 10 Albany without her
trunk and now an effort is being made 20
secure II. In the meantime Mr. Anderson
received letter Just after Miss Anderson
I left st Paul, from one T. A Johnson, of
Portland, saying Miss A. had left 81 Paul
and would need some money on arrival In
4 Portland and % send Il 10 him, which Mr.
A did not do. The result Is several dol
| lars fees are due on the trunk and the
trunk is somewhere around Portland. The
game Is said 10 be played right along, the
81 Paul man telegraphing the Portland
man particulars, and he extoTting money
where possible, and that is the way the
case looks.
TnE OREGON PAcYlc The Boise States
man talks in the following very confident
manner: Among the eertainties Of the
early future may be safely set down the
completion Of tho Oregon Pacific railroad
TO this city. This is no myth, no dream
or idle boast. OF course there may be
some doubts entertained as TO what cor
poration will continue the construction
OF the road and control il after II Il COM
pleted but II the Oregon Pacific has any
real cause of being or any rational fu-
ture, these cnn only be made manifest
and realized by following out the original
plan. which has never been lost sight of
or modified, OF building 20 Boise City.
While the Oregon Pacific is building
eastward, Boise City can be building
westward, and when the junction Ii ei-
fected at whatever point on the Oregon
line, the adjustment Of mutual interests
will be easy and natural"
