A quiet meeting was held in this city
yesterday, SO it is said, which several
foreign capitalists attended. The
meeting was held to discuss the matter
of building railroad into Klickitat
county, and steps will be taken, it is
said, to ascertain the amount of grading
required to build road from Columbus
to Goldendale, and the probable cost
that such an undertaking would entail.
The gentlemen who were present at the
meeting represent a great amount of
Scotch capital, and came to The Dalles
seeking investment. Their names are
Col. 6. Howard Baker, c.. Sydney Haf-
ward, G. H. B. Smythe and D. Nc Rich
ards. All but the last named gentle
man went East on last nights train.
Mr.. Richards stopped in The Dalles,
where he will remain for some time.
1t is said some interesting developments
may be expected in the near future.

Someone has been telling Editor Ire
land, of the Observer, that the portage
road between Columbus and Chipman's s
Pocket, below The Dalles, will surely be
built by the time the cascade canal will
be open for traffic. At the same time
there Will be built at least one steamer for
the upper river, with connections to
Portland and Astoria. This enterprise
has been hanging fire for long time,
and the people of Eastern Oregon would
be glad to see some actual work done
upon the line, which would be founda-
ton for a belief in the completion of
the undertaking. That the road would
pay big revenues there is no question.
1t is rumored also that the capitalists
who own the Washington and Columbia
River Railway-known as the Hunt
system-are intereste in the scheme.

CHICAGO, June 1O.-For the first time

Peculiar VIII OF a Collin, Victim Prom

SAN Francisco, June 1O.-The fate
of an estate valued at 500, 900 is likely
to rest on whether Professor Harold
Whiting of the University Of Califor-
mia, who was lost on the Colima, died
before or after his wife was drowned
on the same voyage.
just before Professor Whiting started
on his fatal voyage he made two wills
which he mailed to an old college friend
who - now an attorney at Cambridge,
Mass. One was to the effect that if he
should be drowned, his estate should
60 to the surviving members of his
familys The other was that in case he
and his wife and children were all
drowned, his estate should revert to
the members of his family living in the
East.
If Professor Whiting died first his
wife and children Immediately became
his heirs, but if Mrs. Whiting died
later her heirs would inherit the small
fortune to the exclusion of the heirs OF
Professor Whiting in the East.

Deputy marshals here give further
details Of the terrible fight between

their capture. Every since the Rock

been in close pursuit Of the 10 outlaws
who engaged in it. The pursuit re-
suited in the killing Of two Of them
near Ingalls, some weeks ago. The

NEW TORPEDO Boats
three to He Built-The Swiftest Of Their
Kind.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Circulars
will be issued by the navy department
In the course Of a few days inviting
bids for the construction Of three tor
pedo boats authorized by the last con.
gress. The plans for the boats have
been completed. They provide for the
construction Of the fleetest craft that
will be borne on the naval list The
minimum speed must not be less than
28 knots per hour, although it Is ex-
pected from the amount of steam power
to be supplied that this limit will be
surpassed by perhaps two knots. The
new boats will be Of 18O tons burden,
ITO feet long and II feet broad. They
will have triple expansion engines and
three boilers, giving 8, 200 horse power.
For their construction congress has
appropriated $l75, 900 each, but as $25. :
900 must be retained in the case of
each boat for it's equipment with
Torpedo Tubes and Ordnance,
the limit of the available appropriation
Is only $15O,O0O each. No premiums
will be allowed for speed in excess OF
26 knots, but there will be penalties
imposed for deficiency in this respect,
and this may have the effect to increase
the amount of the bids. Eastern ship
builders are barred in this competition,
for by the terms Of the act Of congress
one of the boats must be built on the
Gulf Of Mexico, one on the Mississippi
and one on the Pacific coast, provided
bids can be secured from these sections
at reasonable rates. Otherwise the
navy department may allow the boats
to builders in other sections or even
build them>at the navy yard.
