BUILDING OF THE GEORGIA NORTH
ERN's LINE STOPPED.

Triton, ThOmasViIIe and Gulf People
Won in Their Suit Before Judge
Spencc-BuiIdine of Parallel Line
Thus stOpped-PInintins Had the
First Charter-PrOceeding Before
Judge SeabroOk Also EnjOined.
Will he Appealed.
Albany, Ga, April IA case OF great
interest to the people of this section of
the state was argued here to-day before
Judge w. N Spence OF the Albany cir
cult.
The Triton, Thomasville and Gulf Rail-
way Company has a charter 20 build a
line from Triton TO Thomasville via Moul-
trie, and the projectors who represent
that line say that work on the road is soon
to begin. The Georgia Northern road
runs from Pidcock to brownsville through
Worth county, and is now being graded
on to Albany.
The Georgia Northern company an
nounced that they would also complete a
line from Moultrie to Thomasville and
prepared TO begin the work of grading
at once.
The Triton and Thomasville Railway
Company then applied to the courts for a
permanent injunction against the Georgia
Northern to prevent the construction Of
the proposed branch line il being repre-
scented that the two lines would run side
by side for their entire length, and that
there would not be enough business for
both.
AS the Triton and Thomasville Railway
Companys charter was the older, 1t was
prayed by the petitioners for injunction
to prevent the construction of the other
line from Moultre to Thomasviile.
The argument before Judge Spence to-
day lasted nearly six hours. There was
an imposing array of legal talents on both
sides, the plaintiffs case being directed by
Hon. N. e. Harris of Macon and that Of
thee defendants by Senator w. S. Hum
phries of Quitman.
The Injunction Granted.
Judge Spence's decision was favorable
to the Triton and Townsville Railway
Company, a permanent injunction against
the Georgia Northern to prevent the CON
struction of their line from Moultrie 10
Townsville being granted. The defend
ants have given notice that they will file
a bill of exceptions and appeal the case
to the Supreme Court.
Judge Spence also issued an Injunction
against any further proceedings by the
Georgia Northern before Judge Seabrook,
looking to an obstruction of the Triton,
Thomasville and Gulf people in the build
ing of their road
The Triton, Townsville and Gulf people
viii now proceed rapidly with the CON
struction of their road

HIGH WATER For 1899.
Columbia River VIII Stand at "A To-
morrow and Reports Say That VIII
Be tho Maximum height,

AS soon as the Columbia river begins
to do the backing act and makes it's ap-
pearance in the alley between First and
Second streets, people begin to get ex
cited, and all sorts OF high water stories
are rife. Last evening about 5 o'clock it
began to look a little damp in that sec
tion and looks a great deal more 80 to-
day. However, that is no criterion to
go by as it is only back water. Prinz &
Nitschke will no doubt be compelled to
move goods from their basement, but so
far as we have learned no trouble in
that line has yet been experienced ex-
cept by Mrs. NJ. Parkine, who lives in the
Britain house at the corner of Second
and Liberty, and she has moved house,
hold goods from the basement.
While only conjectures can be made,
the weather holding the situation in it's
own hands, people generally do not an
ticipate an unusual height this year, as
the cooler weather now prevailing will
certainly have the desired effect, al
though the report says warmer from
tonight. The upper rivers will become
stationary after Friday, the Snake fall,
ing slightly tomorrow. The Columbia
will rise until tomorrow night, when it
will stand at A. The report also says it
is thought that will be the maximum
height.
The river readings this morning at 10
o'clock were: Lewiston, 20.4, rise of 4 !;
Wenatchee 37.4, rise OF a; Northport
2s.s, rise of g; Umatilla 25.2, rise of z !;
Dalles, 42.6.
The following readings, which were

Mr.. I. Sichel arrived in The Dalles
yesterday on his way to Portland on

been issued for his wedding with Miss

G. E. Whitney, of st. Helens, Or, is
in The Dalles today. Mr.. Whitney is
on sad mission, that of searching for
the body of his brother, Bert, who, with
an older brother, Elmer, was drowned in
Snake river May 23d. The body of
Elmer was found at Grants two weeks
ago today and buried at St, Helens a
week ago last Sunday. Mr.. Whitney is
now returning from trip up the river,
coming good part of the way on skiff,
and searching in out-of-the-way places
for the body of the younger brother. It
is to be hoped it will soon be discovered
as the suspense is extremely wearing on
the family, especially the mother and
sister OF the young man.
A Portland railroad man recently went
fishing at The Dalles, and after spending
the day there with young lady friend,
hired and paid fisherman to send by

Portland friends. The railroad man
then returned to Portland, and told long
and involved stories about his prowess
and magnificent success, and his friends
looked on him rs a veritable Isaac
Walton. Imagine his surprise and
chagrin when The Dalles fisherman sent
to each OF those Portland friends of the
railroader bunch of dried fish; and
imagine the brand of profanity the rail-
road man used in expressing his opin-
ions of Dalles fshermen.-E. o.

Badly Mixed Up.

In an Ohio county man named
Miller married widow who had a
grown-up daughter. His father fell in
love with the stepdaughter. The father
became the sons son-in-law and the
etepdaughter became his mother. Re-
Gently the sons wife had child. The
child was Miller's fathers brother-in-
law and Miller's own uncle, for he was a
brother of his stepdaughter. Miller's
fathers wife, his stepmother-also had
son, who was, of course, Miller's
brother and incidently Miller's grand
child. for he was the son of Miller's
daughter.
Thus Miller's own wife was his
mothers mother and Miller became his
wife's grandchild at the same time. And
then, to top the whole thing off, as the
husband of his grandmother he was his
own grandfather.

LAST LETTER FROM MANILA
Showing wha. a Prominent Part tn
Second Oregon has Taken in the
Battle.

Although the boys are now on their |
way home, and can soon tell us chow it
all happened" 1t will not be amiss to
publish the following letter received a
few days since by Mrs. S. L. Armstrong
from her son, A. A. Bonner:
MoRoNCo, April 80, 1899.
Dear Mother II have not wlitten TO
you for some time, as we are not near
Manila now. We are fighting in the in
terror and have no regular service to
these parts. For the last ten days we
have been marching and fighting every
day but one. It is a regular guerrilla
war. We have captured four towns in
that time, and have one more in these
parts to take. It is San Miguel, twenty
five miles north of here, and that will
probably end the war. Three of we
boys have been in every fight and march
that the company has been in, and have
not received a scratch or been sick a
day since we first vent out. We are
now in the first brigade, third division.
composed of the 18th Mimi, fourth
cavalry, sixth artillery, and Second
Oregon, under the command of Col.
| Summers. We have marched over one
hundred miles, forded i've rivers, fought
the enemy everywhere that they made
stand, and have lost less than dozen
men. Well, hope this war will soon
be over and we can return home, as it is
just one year ago today that we left The
Dalles to enlist.
PoLAG, May 8, 1899.
We are now camped here for a few
days. All are well. Have had several
fights lately. We pick up many things
here that would be valuable souvenirs,
but cannot take care of them, as a
soldiers pack in the field is not very
light article. It is not very often that
we get chance to write, as we are in
the interior of the island and have no
opportunity to send mail out. zee by
the papers that the authorities at Wash
ington claim that the volunteers want to
stay in the service. 1t is one of the
biggest lies ever invented, and an excuse
to keep US here. But if it were not for
the volunteers here, the regulars could
] do nothing, as most of them are green
; boys from the Eastern cities who never
handled gun.
1t is very hot here, and we have a
heavy rain every evening.

Women who poke into odd corners
in the Japanese stores may have seen
and wondered what earthly use could
be made of the grotesque masks and
faces which are piled into large baskets
set here and there on the counters.
There are all kinds and sorts and CON
ditions Of them. Some are solemn,
some are Jolly, some are sad, while old
Satan has generous representation
among these apparently useless arti-
cles of bric-a-brac. They are fashioned
of u dark reddish brown metal, and
are rs II rule the most outlandish look.
ing objects.
Well, a new use has been found for
them. An inventive woman having n
shelf over her doorway TO ornament
conceived the idea of putting up a row
of these japanese masks, something
after the fashion of.the singing cherubs.
so down she went to the japanese
store and selected about dozen OF
the oldest OF these many odd heads,
and then she arranged them artist
cally and placed them on the edge of
her shelf, where they looked like the
front row of Z grotesque chorus.-New
