Smallpox Patient Dies Near Kent.

E. Ballard. the smallpox patient near
O'Brien's, died yesterday forenoon. He
lies unburied. Ballard enlisted in the
Sixth Iowa cavalry at Marshalltown, Ia,
in 1862; served until 1864, and came to the
Sound about three years ago. He has no
relations here. 1t is reported that he has
daughter in Texas. Much excitement
prevails at Kent in consequence of the
number of persons exposed. The physician
and attendants receive much unfriendly
criticism for alleged carelessness in hand
ling the case. The authorities may quar-
antine the suspects. Several families have
withdrawn their children from school, and
some advocate closing the school, but as
yet the directors have taken no action.
Vaccination is general.

get prices on them. Then they instructed
me to report upon the best sites for an

an answer by wire that the matter would

DAYS. Nearly all the instruments are now
in the Seattle postoffice. having been sent
from Washington City. The government
can send anything but locomotive or
steamboat by mail. Anything that can
be got to the postoffice can be sent. The
postmaster here is cramped for room and
is numbered up with big boxes. He is
begging me to take them away, but l have
no place to put them yet, and can't take
them.
After the Office is selected bids will be
received for erecting the instrument shell
ter, and these bids will have to be sent on
to Washington City to be approved"

YOUNG ArHLETIcs WIN AGAIN.

They Score - Points and Shut Out the
Mercer Juniors.
The Young Athletics added another to
their unbroken string of victories yester-
day by Overwhelmingly defeating the
junior team of Mercer school. the score
being 4S to O.
The MERGERS were never in the game at
all. They were outweighed and also out
played at every point. About the only
commendable work of the eleven was by
Capt. Hicks, and his support was so poor
that he could accomplish nothing, al
though he made several good runs. The
team might have done better had its full
makeup turned out. but at all events it
was badly outclassed.
One of the prettiest features of the
game was the running of little Nc
Rae, the left halfback of the Ath-
letics, he making five of the ten
touchdowns. Capt. Larson both ran and
tackled we'll. and secured four touchdowns.
The other touchdown was made by Gala
han, who also played strong game. Out
of ten chances only two goals were kicked
by Larsen after the touchdowns.

Rig Railway Alliance.

OMAHA, Feb. 3.-[Special. There
are meager details of the alliance be-
tween the Pennsylvania, the Burlington
and Quincy and the Union Pacific.
The leading features of the scheme hav-.
ing been satisfactorily determined, how
ever, the perfection of the details are
merely matter of time. The Pennsyl
vania has withdrawn from its passenger
traffic relations with the New York and
New England railroad, which have been
in force for years. It has made a new
arrangement with the New York, New
Haven and Hartford. The belief among
fianciers and railroad officials who have
heard of the deal is that it Is result of
the visit to this country recently made
by A. II. H. Boissevain as the emmisary
of large foreign interests in the Penn
sylvania and the Union Pacific. There
has been heavy buying of Union Pacific
stock for several days, and the orders are
said to have come largely from the other
side of the Atlantic.

southern Pacific Inauenees.

Heppner Gazette: The rumor comes
up among the hills of Eastern Oregon
that the Southern Pacific proposes to
have hand in the selection of railroad
commissioners. The Gazette had the
understanding that the commissioners
are chosen to represent the people, not
the railroads. If this is the case, the
legislators should keep their eyes open,
their hands in their pockets, and down
any attempt to elevase to the railroad
commissionership those who are the
known choice of railroads. If they don't
the ''dull thud" epidemic, which pre-
vailed in California last summer, will
seize upon Oregon. The Gazette wants
the railroads to have justice, which they
are big enough and strong enough to
get. On the other hand, it wants the
peoples representatives to be clean,
decisive men of unimpeachable charac-
| ter, who will. when necessary, see that
their constituents are getting justice,
too. The members of the legislature
choose the railroad commissioners, but
the people elect the legislators, and are
entitled to proper consideration.

RaIey is All Right.

Portland Dispatch: The defeat of
Senator Raley's bill for the Cello por-
tage road is matter of regret to the
people interested. No doubt some of
the senator's voted against the measure
under the impression that the general
government will construct this road
1t is to be hoped that such will be the
case and before the next legislature
meets steps will be taken to chat end
The people of Eastern Oregon have q
strong friend in the senate in the per-
son of Senator Raley. No blame can be
placed on him for the failure of this i'm
portant measure.
