ST. PAUL, Nav 1.-two hundred Cox
eyites from Washington captured a
Northern Pacific train at Heron, near the
Idaho-W Washington line, this morning,
and were not intercepted until ,Ariee. a
station 145 miles east, was reached. So
soon as word was received at the com
panys headquarters. General Manager
Kendrick called upon the war department
tor assistance in regalning possession OF
the stoiep train, and orders were issued
at once to the troops stationed at Fort
Missoula. At the same time, Mr.. Ken-
drIck issued orders to the esuperintendents
on ali divisions affected to offer every OBJ
struction possible to the passage of the
train consisten: with safety. The Heron
mob was in charge of man named Blair,
and the train consists OF 12 cars. 1t was
in charge OF Engineer Ross. They pro-.
cee6ed eastward from Heron at something
like 40 miles an honr. Rails were torn
up at several places. and slide of rock
blockaded the trach at Paradise, but all
obs tacles were overcome, and the men
ran the train as far as Arlee, where it was
taken into custody by United States Dep
uty Marshal Heslly. The men will be
held at Arle tonight. and in the morning
be taken to Helena for trial in the United
States court. No one was hurt and no
shots were fired.
ANOTHER ATTEMPT.
At Kingston, Idaho. Is lndustrials
boarded another Northern Pacific train,
but the engine was cut loose and taken
to Wardner Junction. The regular train
from Wallace for Missoula was not sent
out this morning as usual, the engines
being taken over the bill last night to
prevent the 'wea!ers from stealing the
train.

passengers will have to walk nearly
mile to make the portage, and may be

press the train has just arrived.
Frank Williams, arrested few weeks
ago for burglarizing Blowers & Co.'s
store at Hood River, was indicted today,
waived time, plead guilty and was SEN
fenced to two years in the penitentiary.
The water has reached point con-
siderably higher than the electric light
works, and is only kept out by the ce-
ment walls. It cannot stand great
deal more, and the lights may be shut
off at any moment.
There have been various rumors that
the Regulator will be taken off her
route. There is nothing in it. She will
run every day, and if the water gets
high enough she may run down the rail-
road track, but she will never quit.
The contest case of Robert Childs
against William Floyd has been before
the land Office here for three or four
days, but on account of the district
court being in session, it has been ad-
journed over until June 25th. This case
will determine some very intricate ques-
tions that have never yet been up for
adjudication under the act of Sept Goth,
1890.
The body of Hayes was buried where
found. The coroner's jury it seems were
satisfied from the examination made by
doctors, that the wound in the groin was
several days old, and that instead of
ranging upward it went nearly straight
through. The wound on the back of the
head was much more recent than the
other, and as Hayes had been begging
the boys to kill him it is probable he
took his own life.
Unless the unforeseen happens and the
Columbia goes back to her bed, the
berry growers of Hood River will suffer
severe loss. The frost took the earlier
berries in places, but with anything like
the usual prices she would have shipped
berries of the probable value of $50, 900.
1t may be possible that arrangements
will be made for handling them by the
Regulator which could be done easily il
the q. P. will put on boat from Celilo
to Umatilla, but unless this is done, OIL
the river goes down, there is going to be
almost a total loss of the crop.

The Locks IN Danger.

Mr.. George P. Morgan came up from
the Cascades on the Regulator last night,
for the purpose of getting up 500 or 600
sacks. The sacks were wanted so that
being filed with sand, they could be
used to stop any break that might occur
in the dam being constructed around the
head of the lock. The water when he
left was within four feet of the top of the
break water, on which force of men
were at work, adding four feet to it's
height. A dam was also being built
from the railroad around by the engin-
eer's quarters to the break water, and
ON around the head of the locks. Should
a break occur, the entire works would
be destroyed unless the immense granite
heads for the gates should hold. Owing
to the fact that the Union Pacific had
purchased all available sacks, Mr.. Nor
gan experienced considerable difficulty
but finally found 400 which he purchased
of Mr.. Peters. He went down with
them this morning and it is sincerely
hoped that the works at the locks may
be saved. It would be nothing less than
a calamity for Eastern Oregon, should
the locks 90 out.

a Youthful omcer.

S. E. Ferris arrived from Oak Grove
last night, having in charge William
Wilkersen, arrested on the charge of
horse stealing. He is the man supposed
to have stolen the black pony from Bert
Bagley. Ferris arrested him at Barlow
gate, and says the only kick he has COM
ing is that the fellow couldn't keep the
road, but kept wandering around so
that he had to ride forty miles out of the
way. At Swift's place, while Ferris was
talking to Mr.. Swift concerning the
thief, Jack Swift, a youngster of II
years, overheard them, and though it
was midnight, rolled out of bed and vol
unteered to go along and show Ferris
the road. This he did, being of very
material assistance, and when Ferris
run across Wilkersen and told him to
hold up his hands, Jack went through
his pockets like professional. Wilker-
sen had the horse and saddle when
caught, and win visit Salem

stand Together.


q 1t is to be hoped now that the Union
Pacific will put aside its petty jealousy
of the d. P. & A. N. Co., and will make
some arrangements for keeping the
route to Portland open. From present
Indications it will be several weeks be-
fore the road bed is in condition for use.
In the meantime if the company would
get down off its high horse and attend to
business, it will regain the respect of
the people, will do good stroke of busi-
ness for itself, and besides do good SER
vice to its patrons. The D. P. & A. N.
Co. stand ready to carry all passengers
and fast freight offered, and to do it on
reasonable terms. The company should
open up its Washington portage and
help to keep up traffic.
This is no time for back talk, for jeal-
ousies or rivalry. The people are de-
pendent on the Regulator for commune
cation with the outside world. The
Union Pacific is. in position to facilitate
that communication and to aid the peo-
pie. We hope that this spirit will gov
ern it, and that 1t will do all it can to
prevent loss to our people. Will it do

Caught by Hand.

Mr.. M. Kennedy about 10 years ago
started a small carp pond and now has
several of them at Wamic. Last Satur-
day he invited lot of the boys and some
visitors from the valley to have fish.
They drew the water partly off the pond
and everybody "waded in" It was
genuine fun, and several fine fish were
caught, the largest weighing four pounds.
Besides the fish the boys caught good
ducking and slathers of mud.

And Yet More water.

We are cut off from telegraphic COM
munication on all sides, so no reports of
the stage of the water at points above
can be given. The following from the
Oregonian of yesterday gives the only
pointer concerning the water, with the
exception of dispatch from Ellens-
burg to the effect that while the Yakima
is still high all the small streams were
falling rapidly. There was report last
night that the Snake was at standstill
at Riparia and the Spokane falling, but
we can find no foundation for the rumor.
"The Willamette continued to rise
slowly last night. At late hour OBJ
server Blandford said that the river
might not reach 81 feet, owing to the
cool weather prevailing. Reports from
Eastern Oregon and Washington showed
a fall of degrees in the temperature,
and indications point to continuance
of such weather.
In this statement Mr.. Blandford was
allowing for two-foot rise, equal to four
feet here. and allowing for lapse of time
should make the rise here about Is in
ches more. However it is nothing but
guess work now, since all knowledge of
what the river is doing above US is gone.
Since writing the above, we have it
authentically, that at Spokane the river
was at a stand.
THIS is DEFINITE.
A telephone dispatch from Arlington,
forwarding dispatch from Umatilla to

IN THE MATTER of the Masten street railway let us be actuated by a broad public spirit. If the franchise is de- nied to the applicant what good excuse can be urged for preventing so useful a public improvement being made in our midst? Will the road not benefit the city generally? Will it not afford facility for the people residing at Mesa, Lehi and Tempe and all that surround ing country to make frequent visits to our city? Will that be of no benefit? :? How otherwise do our merchants ex- pect to obtain the patronage of those people? How else do our hotels ex- pect to have them as the1r guests :? How else do our other business places and places of amusement expect to have them for their patrons? Certainly the oftener they come here the greater will be the opportunity and the prooa- bility of their leaving some of the1r money with us. The opportunity is one toe important to be ignored.

road, in case it shall be built, on the ground that we should have better or different road, will come forward and propose to build better one, we say :: "God speed, the privilege is yours. Build, build. and operate railroads into Phoenix, but do not obstruct others who wish to do likewise" There is room for all. We have plenty of streets but few railroads. Let all who will come in and help us to build city.
 All street railroads are more or less a public nuisance. The rails are in the way of the wheels of carriages. The cars are liable to collide with people and carriages. All street cars are noisy. Who is there that has not heard our electric cars at night rumbling along Washington street-when several blocks away? And yet we must have street railroads in order to build city. They are a necessary evil at best but the silent steam motor is no more of nuisance than the electric car road or any other kind of street railway

even of the greatest nation on the face of the earth. but indaed one of the great cities of the entire world. Sum- med up in one word the cause of the building of this great city was trans- portation. Nature did much for that location-bu it was mostly all in the facility afforded for inter-communica- tion and exchange with other parts of our own country and the world at large. The products of the soil and climate of Manhattan island and the adjacent waters and lands were not sufficient to either build or support q city of any considerable size. The city was built and maintainsd and it is still growing larger all the time by means oi its trade. Its constituency is distrib- uted throughout the entire globe.
 How did New York build up this great trade? Not ty sitting still and waiting for outsiders to come of their own volition but by offering induce ments which forced people to patronize the merchants of New York. Improve ments were constantly made in their means of transportation, not only from the city to distant points but also with in their own borders. Street railways operated by horses at first and these were superseded by cars propelled by steam in some of the streets, not m all but cheap means of rapid transit from one part of the city to another were fur nished on the surface of the streets so that nter-commun1cation was easy and cheap. Finally, some twenty years ago, the elevated street railroads were put in, whereby passengers are carried in trains of cars along over the traffic of the street and the ordinary travel is un- obs!ructed thereby.
 It is by these methods that cities are built, and Phoenix can only thrive by following the example set by others.
Arizona republican., 1894-06-26
WHO ARE THE OsJECTORs'

WHO ARE THE DIRECTORS?
 From what source do the objections to the Mesa dummy line come?
 It is said that most of the property owners along the line of the proposed road are in favor of 1t and really want it built. Do our merchants who have goods for sale object? Certainly not. Does objection come from the hotel proprietors? Certainly not. Does ob- jection come from our saloon men? Certainly not. Do our theatre proprie- tors object? No, indeed. From whom then do the objections come? Are the objections made by the north and south road or the street railway company now operating lines? If so, what valid reason can they urge based on a broad public policy which has the prosperity of Phoenix for its guiding star.
 Our morning contemporary charac- terizes the proposed franchise as a fraud because it proposes to make terminus opposite the city hall plaza, and concludes by saying that: "This scheme put in operation as laid down by the Masten franchise would make Phoenix and it's city government the laughing stock of every intelligent man in Arizona"
 We beg to differ with the author of the language. We are of the opinion that the shoe would be on the other foot. If the city government should, through any error of judgment, be so misled as to refuse the privilege asked for and obstruct the building of th1s road we do not predict that they would become the laughing stock of any one, but we feel sure they would always regret their action as great mistake into which they had been led by their pretended friends and the pretended friends of the city of Phoenix.
 No one who has not private ax to grind will oppose the construction of this road. If it is fraud as the Ga zette asserts, in what particular? It will cost the city nothing. No subsidy is asked. If the road is built it will become taxable property with all it's rolling stock. The fear expressed that this franchise is asked in order to en- able the Phoenix & Maricopa railroad to construct round houses or to create any nuisance in the city is without any ground or foundation if the ordinance granting the franchise is properly drawn and the rights of the city properly guarded. The granting of the permit to construct g street railway to be operated by a noiseless steam motor would not authorize the owner to run open locomotive engines over the line nor to build work shops. All such talk is nonsense.
 If this proposition is fraudulent, wherein does the fraud consist? It will certainly benefit the city. It will bring customers to all business houses. It will increase our taxable property. It will be less nuisance than our pres- ent electric street car line. In short it will help to build up our town into a real city. Our city council need have no fear of criticism on the ground that this style of street cars are not now be- ing generally put into cities elsewhere. The fact is they do exist and have helped to build up many places of more importance than Phoenix, and when those who now criticise this proposed
