Will RUN. TO LEWIsTON.
Proposed Ertension of the Northern Pa
ciJic's PdIouse Branch.

cues IUtONSe DTUHCH.
PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 8.-Receiver
Burleigh of the Northern Pacific is deter
mined since he has taken hold of the road
to branch out in more ways than one. He
has been travelling over the system with a
view to making improvements ali along
the line. and now comes the announce
ment that ne has under consideration a
plan 10 extend an important branch of the
line.
Receiver Burleigh has asked for an order
from Judge Beatty for the completion of
the Palouse branch of the road to Lewis
ton. Upon his invitation Judge Beatty
has gone over the ground with the re-
ceiver, who desires to be thoroughly &C
ouainted with the situation. They ex-
press themselves as favorably impressed
with the natural advantages of that sec
ton. and there seems to be little DOUBT
but that the result of this visit means the
early completion of this branch. The near
opening of the Nez Perces reservation has
fastened this action.
1t is believed the road will go to Camas
Prairie via Cold Springs and Kamiah. If
this superstition is correct it will open one
OF the finest farming and fruit-growing
sections in the Northwest. This section of
the reservation comprises an area of fif-
teen by forty miles, only one-hfth OF
which has been allotted to the Infiians.
JULIAETTA, IDAHO, Nov. 8.-This city
is greatly excited over the prospect for
railroad in the near future. Judge Beatty
and Receiver Burleigh Of the Northern Pa
cific were at Lapwai Wednesday, presum-
ably for the purpose of looking over the
proposed route of the Northern Pacific
through the reservation from Juliaetta to
Lewiston. The near opening of the reser-
walton is supposed to have fastened this
action.

signed tomorrow for the land wanted by
the railroad, wherein the consideration
named will be 81. This secures to the rail-
road company the last right of way between
Stockton and the Stanislaus River.

PORT ANGELES EMBEZZLEMENT.
peTdtct of Guilty Returned against Er.
County Treasurer Clu,nD.

PORT ANGELES, WASH. Nov. s.-The
jury returned verdict of guilty last night
in the second trial OF ex-County Treasurer
M. ]. Clump on a charge of embezzling
$4,000 in county funds. The sum was OBJ
tanned by entering false totals in his Jour
nal and by systematic rake-off on tax re-
celpts. A civil action will follow, in which
Clump and his bondsmen will be sued for
$50, 900, which was on deposit at the First
National Bank of this city at the time the
bank failed.
The bank has receipt in full from the
county, having turned over securities to
the amount of the deposit to the former
board of commissioners, but the present
board claims the settlement to be Illegal.

SANTA Rosa SCHEME.
Eucalyptus Trees TO BE Utilized as
disorders of SetCd0e.

disorders of Sewage.
SANTA ROSA, CAL, Nov. S.-The City
Council is considering the idea of i'm
proving the city sewer farm by setting it
out mainly in eucalyptus trees and
running the surplus water from the
sewage over the land.
The eucalyptus tree is great absorber
of moisture and has been used, it is said,
with good results 10 drain marshes By
this means it is expected to ornament
the farm and render it a healthful place.
The growth of the tree is so rapid that in
a few years all the fuel required by the
city may be supplied by these trees.
Such a grove south of the city will be an
improvement to the surrounding land
scape, as the trees in the rich soil will
grow to great height.

SEBERN FOUND GUILTY.

Sentence.

The En- be=zler wiz Escape With a Light
Sentence.
SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Nov. s.-The
jury in the case of C. w. Sebern; charged
with embezzlement, after being out four
hours and quarter. came in with verdict
OF guilty of embezzlement misdemeanor.
Sebern will receive his sentence Monday.
The prosecution failed to show that
Sebern embezzled more than $50 at time,
which accounts for the verdict being rem
dered as it was.
The defendant, who is in the last stages
of consumption, broke down when the
verdict was announced and his beautiful
young wife joined in his grief. His attor-
neys will make no appeal, as they express
themselves satisfied with the verdict. 1t
is thought that the sentence will not be
over three months in the County Jail.

Mojdre Desert Irrigation WorE to Be
Resumed.
SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Nov. 8.-For
some months past matters relating to the
building of a big dam on the Mojave
Desert by the Columbia Colonization Com
pany have been dormant. Changes have
now been made in the company which
tend to make it much stronger, and the
work has again been taken up.
The first movement will be to build
dam at the Victor Narrows, the dam to be
twenty feet high in the beginning, but
with foundation sufficient to build to the
top of the Narrows, which are about sixty
feet high. The object is to get a sufficient
amount of water to irrigate between 200, 600
and SOC, 900 acres of land. From this dam
the water will be conducted in bitches
over the desert land. The supply will be
increased whenever the demand for more
water is made. 1t is the intention of the
recognized company to pay as the work
progresses and not incur. any indebted
ness as was formerly done.

Electricity Likely to Be Used as the
Motive Po1cer.
STOCKTON, CAL, Nov. There is
every reason to believe that work on the
Stockton and Lodi Terminal Railway will
be resumed at an early date. Ex-Con-
gresham James A. Louttit, who has been
attending to the financial end of the enter
prise, states that there is abundant capital
in sight to build the line and equip it. All
that is holding work back is the consdera-
ton OF a proposition to change the motive
power from steam to electricity. If the
latter is decided upon it Will be of the very
latest kind, and unlike any at present in
operation in the State.
The grade for the entire line, with the
exception of half mile, is completed and
in excellent shape, and is, with the valu-
able rights of-way, worth enough to secure
bonds for the equipment of the line.

Jail Freak at Burma.

BURNS, ORE, Nov. S.-Two of the six
Jordan brothers, being held here in jail for
cattle-stealing and house-breaking, broke
jail last night and have made their escape.
The probabilities are that they will fight if
overtaken, as they were both convicted
but not sentenced at the term of court now
being held here. The escapes are John
and Bob, and both have done time at the
Salem penitentiary heretofore-John one
and Bob two terms.

SPOKANE. WASH, Nov. s. - w. J.
Lantzenhiser, prominent business man
of this city, was arrested at Sprague yes
terday by City Marshal McGinnis. who
mistook him for a fugitive from justice
wanted in Oregon for embeZzlemert.
LantZenhiser in no respect resem bled
the fugitive, but the officer was so intoxi-
Gated that he could not distinguish the
difference, nor would he release the pris-
oner when assured by friends that he had
made mistake.
McGinnis subjected Lantzenhiser to all
manner of abuse, and paraded him about
town until early this morning, when the
officer fell asleep while waiting for the
train for Oregon. Lantznhiser boarded the
train, came to Spokane and to-day began
an action for $4,000 damages against Nc
Ginnis for defamation of character and
false imprisonment.

STOCKTON, CAL, Nov. s.-The direct
ors of the State Insane Asylum held their
regular monthly meeting to-day. The ex-
perts employed by the bondsmen of Major
Orr to go over his accounts as treasurer OF
the asylum have completed the work as
far as Expert Houskin, employed by the
board of directors, has gone. Their ex-
animation is corroborative of the result of
his investigation.
The report of Superintendent Clark
showed that 1907 patients were in the
ASYLUM on October 81, of whom 1104 were
males and 467 females. Ten patients were
discharged from the asylum last month,
and two escaped.

SANTA CRUZ IMPROVEMENTS.
Jetties and a BuIkhead to Be Built Along
the San Lorenzo,

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Nov. S.-Among
the contracts recently let by the Board of
Supervisors was one to ]. A. Mcmahon to
build SIX jetties from the bank of the San
Lorenzo River above the bridge at FELTON,.
Last year at this place over an acre of land
was washed out by the high water, and it
is believed this ietty plan will prove ample
protection for the future.
A contract was also let for the building
of a bulkhead $40 feet long along the east
bank of the San Lorenzo River from the
Barson or Riverside Hotel property to the
east cliff bridge near the Ocean Villa. This
will keep the river from OVERLOOKING it's
banks. which is a frequent occurrence
during the rainy season.
