| The general excursion over the new
railroad set for the 18th, has been aban-
doned until the arrival Of the new equip
ment. The delegates OF the state conven.
| ton will therefore come down by boat In
the good old-fashioned way. There Is
/ such a heavy traffic over the transconti.
| mental railroads that rolling stock cannot
| be hired for love or money. and the con-
tractors who are building the new cars
are behind with the order. 1t is possible
also, that the subsidy inspection commit,
tee will postpone its trip over the new
road from Monday until a later date.

cord-wood lying along the Columbia t
keep the railroad supplied for severa
years. but one source of trouble has beel
that when buying from the woodchopper
the cord-wood is either encumbercd b,
debt contracted by themselves or by par
ties owning the timber This have oftel
hindered the prompt delivery Of the WOO
