Harney valley people are threat
ened With railroad snd, being a
stock growing community they
don't want it, won't have it and
swear they will fight it to the bitter
end. The people who propose to
build the road should leave Harney
county to her fate and come over to
Gillian They can find here plen-
ty of encouragement as we'll as ma
terial assistance in building o road
to Condor. If they would like q
hint as to the amount of freight
they would have to handle they
should come over and count the
teams on the road between Condor

TIE P0RZaGE RoAD.

1t now looks more than likely
that the Central Construction and
Transportation Company means
business aud will begin work on
the portage between Cello and the
Big Eddy in short time, says The
Dalles Times Mountaineer.
For several days freight teams
have been hauling bedding, sup
plies, tents, lumber for building
stables and sheds and other neces-
sary things for railroad construc-
tion camp. All these articles are
being hauled to a point known as
Jenson's camp, about two miles
above the Big Eddy, and as every
thing they are purchasing is of the
most substantial kind, there is lit
tie doubt but that they mean
business.
Paul Mohr, who owns most OF
the right of way, has been in the
city for sometime and alt hough he
would not give any information as
to what his business was, it is
plain that he is here for the pur-
pose Of arranging matters in con-
nection with the right-of- way.
A rumor is afioat today to the
effect that the contract for grading
the road has been let to two we'll
known railroad contract ors, Mr..
III. Cowan and Mr.. McMartin, and
if such be the case large force OF
men will be put to work by them
very shortly.
AT what point the line will begin
at this end is still undecided or at
least unknown to outsiders.
Some are of the opinion that it will
be at a point known as the Big
Eddy while others think it will be
short distance above the North
Dalles sh oe factory building This
however is only a matter of guess
work and that which we desire to
see is the road constructed around
the rapids and line of boats on
the upper Columbia and Snake
rivers so that the producers of the
great Inland Empire can transport
their products to the seaboard at
something like a reasonable rate
for transportation, and it looks
very much as if they would soon
have their wants in this direction
fulfilled.

Captain Carter who robbed the gov
ernment of $1,5o0,000 was tried
and found guilty, and whose case
was held up by the president for
more than a year because ofthe po-
litical influence of friends of the
thief, has at last been sentenced.
The newspapers of the country
raised such an almighty howl that
the president was obliged to mete
out some kind of punishment and
Carter has been sentenced to pay
a fine of $5,0 900 and serve FIVE years
in the penitentiary. Such SEN
tence is better than nothing but
many a poor devil who had no
pull" has served longer term
than that for stealing a $40 mule
or a$2.50 cayuse. After paying his
fine Carter will earn just $299, 900
a year while ''doing time" which is
more than most honest men make.

Ex-Gov. John Young Brown willing to Run
for Governor independently.

LOUISVILLE. Ky. July 25.-Ex-Gov. John
Young Brown announced to-day that he would
accept the nomination OF the Independent

litical sensation and has done moro to scare
Goebel's followers than anything which has
occurred since the Louisville convention.

Gov. Browns name had been frequently men
toned as the probable choice for the head OF
the ticket. the Goebel people were confident
that Judging from Gov Browns attitude. the
opposition would have to seek elsewhere. As
Gov Brown was almost the only man per-
sOnaly popular enough to be dangerous. the
Goebelites felt reasonably sure that the defec
ton would not be great enough to defeat the
regular nominee.
Tonight the situation has undergone a re-
verSal While the Goehel leaders are retlcent

on the run. and many Of his warmest sunnort-
crs admit that the situation is desperate They
do not seem to feel that Brown stands any
chance OF election. and are indust riously cir

only using him as tool to defeat Goehel and
Tho boilers, however, are enthusiastic: A
