BY ELECTRIC POWER.
Freight Will Be Hauled Over South

East and West Side Tracks.

II will certainly be good news TO mer-
chants and others on Dyer and South
Water streets to learn that within
very short time the Union Railroad
company will substitute electric power
for the string teams and engines at
present used by the Consolidated rail-
road Commissioner of Pubhc Works
Smith has been ordered to remove the
Consolidated tracks on both of these
streets and will do it without delay.
Manager Potter Of the Union Rail-
road company said today that the site
for the poles had been selected, and
that the work OF erecting these would
probably begin some time during the
coming week. Owing TO the difficulty
experienced in procuring rails, II is
probable that the old tracks used by
the Consolidated on Dyer street will be
employed by the Union Railroad COM
pany but whether or not those on South
Water street will also be used, has not
pet been decided. The Union railroad

Formerly of the Second oregon volun-
teers. and member of the stan OF
Generals Merritt, Otis and Lawton. who

vigorous fall campaign would put an
end to the war in the Philippines.
1t takes good deal to demoralize a
Filipino army, and 1t would be a rash
statement TO declare that the insur-
gents are now demoralzed, but II is
certa n that they run earlier in the bat
Tie than was formerly the case. 1t is
