PACIFIC COAST DIPLOMATS.

The appointment of Ex-Governor
William P. Lord, of Oregon, to be
minister of the United States to
Persia suggests the fact that Pacific
coast men have played and are play
ing an important part in the dip
lomatic and consular service, says
the Spokesman-Review. Particular
ly is this true with respect to Oriental
countries.
Under Harrison's administration,
Oregon sent two ministers TO Turkey
Solomon Hirsch and D. p. Thomp-
son, both of Portland, and one sue
ceeding the other. Under Cleveland's S
second administration, Oregon sent
Barrett, Portland newspaper man.
as minister to Siam.
Denny, also an Oregonian, was In
the consular service in China for
many years, rose to the position of
consul-general, and upon retiring
from that post, went to Seoul as the
confidential adviser of the king of
CoTea.
Washingtonians have also taken
high rank in the diplomatic and
consular service. Bartlett Tripp,
former minister to Austria Hungary,
and now the United States member
of the Samoan commission, was a
former resident of Tacoma, and re-
tains extensive property interests
there. Henry L. Wilson of Spokane
is minister to Chill, John F. Convey
is our consul general in Japan, Fred
Grant of Seattle was at one time
minister to Bolivia. Tillotson o.
Tacoma was consul general in Japar
under President Harrison.
Since the outbreak of hostilities il
the Philippines, the press dispatches
have had much to say of the in
valuable services rendered to Dewey
and other American authorities by
Consul Wildman at Hong Kong
Though Wildman is accredited tt
California, he was a former residen
of Idaho, having been engaged il
newspaper work while resident o
that state.
The following Pacific coast me-
are also in the consular service:

NEW ROAD TO LAKE TAHOE.
The Line Will Follow Picturesque
Course and Cross the Truckee
River Three Times.

D. /. Bliss, one of the constructors of
the new narrow-gauge railroad from
Truckee to Lake Tahoe, is authority for
the statement that the new survey for
the line will begin in a few days. 1t will
be an entirely new survey. The first one
was made IN May. 1897, and was on the
west side of the Truckee River. The one
now under consideration will run near
the old survey most of the way but will
cross the river and go up on the east
side along the canyon above where the
Deer Park road turns off
The road will run along the south side
of the Central Pacific Railroad track to
the Truckee Hotel. 1t is expected that
the latter company will build a sidetrack
so that trains can be backed down and
passengers and freight can be easily
transferred to the new line running to
Lake Tahoe.
Work on the construction of the road,
which will be fourteen miles long, will
be commenced about the middle of May
and will be completed in August. Work
will begin on the farther end of the line
as the rolling stock and locomotives used
are to be transferred from Glenbrook on
the eastern shore of the lake. A substan-
tial roadbed will be built AS the road
will cross the river three times as many
bridges will be constructed of steel. Two
passenger coaches and a baggage car
have already been purchased by the COM
pany from the st. Louis Southeastern
Railroad
