FRESNO, CAL, June 5.-John D.
Spreckels, Robert H. Watt, A. Payson,
Thomas Magee. W. B. Storey. John Moss
and NJ. Sam uel, committee from the
board of Valley Railroad directors, ar
rived in Fresno tonight in accordance
with an invitation from the local commit
tee of ten, which has in charge the secur-
ing of rights of way through Fresno
County.
The road committee, the committee OF
ten and committees from Tulare and Bak-
ersfield met n Hughes Hotel parlors and
discussed the proposition for the extension
of the line south of Fresno this year. The
railroad officials were definite in their pro-
posals. They stated that they had
material ready to begin work on the road
to Baker sfeld within three months if the
rights of way were furnished.
If not the material would be used in
building a road from Stockton to the
coast
The Fresno, Tulare and Bakersfield COM
mittees stated that they were doing their
best to secure rights of way and although
not in position to speak definitely they
| believed that they would be successful.
They would not purchase any rights OF
way, however, until they were assured
that the railroad would come
To this the railroad people replied that
if they were furnished free rights OF way
they would without question begin the
work of grading south of Fresno imme-
| diately. They further stated that which
ever route OF the two-by way of Visalia
or by way of Hanford-offered rights OF
way first would get the road first
They had no particular preference for
either route, but were anxious to proceed
with the grading.
The railroad people will go to Reedley
tomorrow, and meeting will be held
there during the afternoon in the interest
of securing rights of way.

PORTLAND, Or, June 5.-A remark.
ably close and exciting finish is being run
between Tongue Or. } and Vanderburg (P. }
in the First Congressional District. As
the figures of the official count straggle in
the uncertainty increases.
Vanderburg's lead has been cut down in
Linn County by LAB votes, leaving him but
81 ahead of Tongue.
In the Second District Ellis has lead of
273 over Quinn, the laundry wagon driver,
who comes dangerously near being elected
Congressman from Oregon.
The official canvass may yet give Quinn
the victory. So far as Multnomah County
i3 concerned the vote is complete, as the
six precincts in the county not having
sent in duplicate ballot showing totals
will not change these figures mat erially !:

AN INCIDENT IN HISTORY

Lewiston Journal.
Major Parsons, OF the Nineteenth
Maine, told this one:
"Thcre is some doubt as to what
part the Nineteenth Maine regiment
played in the war, though most Of the
boys think it put down the rebellion
The fact is, the Nineteenth ate VI
the pigs, robbed hen roosts, cleaned
out orchards and cellars and foraged
the country so thoroughly that the
rebellion had nothing left to feed on
and so lay down and died"
Then AL Wells, Of the same regi'
ment, took up the thread of the story
"We were sweeping along one day
dining on the fat of the land as usual.
Another troop was ahead, and be-
tween them and us rode Gen. Ham
cock. AS the general was passing one
plantation, the aged proprietor came
out and stopped the generals party.

torted the general. "Thc Nineteenth
