PLANS FOE ELEVETED ROAD.
First Step Taken Toward the Con.
templated Work.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Co. has
completed arrangements for double
tracking the cutoff extending from Edge
Moor to Delaware junction and as soon
as that work is completed the through
freight trains will be run over the cutoff
instead of through the city. This is the
iirst step toward elevating the main line
through this city.
Ane present road through the city Is
to be elevated from Landlith to near the
west yard, and as a new freight yard is
to be located at Edge Moor, the west
yard will probably be used for the
storage and care of passenger cars and
he making up Of passenger trains. The
,,iling for the new shops at Todd's Cut
md freight yard at Edge Moor will be
lriven as soon as the weather will per-
nit. 1t is said that the company has
not selected site for the new passenger
station, but it will probably be in the
vicinity of Front and Market streets.

More in Beef.

For some time various writers
on agricultural and kindred pur-
suits have been urging the farm.
ing population to embark in the
dairy business, and there is little
doubt but such a move in a ma
jority of instances would prove
beneficial. The Pacific Farmer
contributes the following, which
gives reason why dairying is
not more generally engagedin by
the valley farmers:
One of the greatest drawbacks
is the fact that the farmers are
not supplied with the requisite
number of good milk cows to
dairy successfully, there are sew
eral thousand little scrubby cows
that are no good for beef OF milk
that should be sent to the eastern
ranges to be fattened and their
places supplied with few better
grade animals. The dairy cows
will not increase in the William
ette valley as fast as they would
naturally increase, owing to the
fact that so far the farmers be-
lieve they can make more money
raising beef animals at the pres
ent price, than they can in rails
ing dairy cows, and in this re.
spect many of them are correct,
because there are far more men
who have the patience to take
care of beef animals than there
are that have the patience to
milk cows regularly night and
morning.

Had Relatives Here.

Miss Susan Mulkey, niece of
the late United States Senator
J. N. Dolph, shot herself with a
revolver at San Francisco, few
days ago, and. died soon after
ward at a hospital from the
wound. She is the daughter of
c. ]. Mulkey, formerly special
agent of the Treasury Depart
ment, and is a cousin of Council
man F. Malkey and Chester
Delph, OF Portland She was
also distantly connected with the
Mulkeys Of this section.
Miss Mulkey and her mother
had recently arrived in San Fran
cisco from Tacoma, Wash, and
their business there was to dis
pose of some mining property
acquired by Miss Mulkey. The
property was located at Nome.
Her attorney made an unfavor-
able report regarding the proper
ty and the young lady seemed
quite hysterical over the matter.
At later hour he called again
and found the young lady in
much the same mood. She re-
.quested her mother and the at
torney to leave her to rest and
lquietude and she would recover.
They departed and a few mo-
ments later heard a shot, and
fastening back found her lying
in a pool of blood with a revol-
yer at her side. She died with
out giving any reason for the
deed. A peculiar phase of the
case is the fact that the mother
and daughter registered at the
Royal House, i'll San Francisco,
under the assumed name Of Mrs.
Millsap and daughter. The
young lady was about 20 years
of age.
c. J. Mulkey, father of the
dead girl, formerly special agent
of the Treasury Department, was
implicated in the famous SNUG
Igling case several years ago,
along with other government
officers, when Nat Blum was a
star witness, and related such
sensational testimony. Mrs.
Mulkey was a sister Of the late
Senator Dolph.

THE COUNTY SHOULD PAY 1T.

In the matter of establishing a
free ferry across the Willamette
river at Corvallis it has been said
that the people of Corvallis would
be the greatest immediate gain
ers and therefore the city should
establish and maintain the ferry.
Others suggest, for the same rea-
son, that the city should pay
one-half and the county the
other half of the expense. On
the other hand, the great ma
jority of the people of the coun-
ty, who have been heard on the
subject, concede that it would be
justice for the county to pay the
whole expense. While it is ad-
mitted that the city would de-
rive the greater benefit, it is
urged that the precinct of which
Corvallis forms the principal
part, pays nearly one-half OF the
entire taxes of the county and
that if the whole expense is
paid by the county, Corvallis
and the Immediate vicinity will
then pay one-half the expense.
IF the city should pay half and
the county the other half, the
taxpayers of Corvallis precinct
would be paying three-fourths of
She expense. While many of
the largest taxpayers Of Cor
wallis precinct have for years
advised the county court to make
liberal appropriations to build
good and safe bridges all over
distant parts OF the county, it
was not expected that anyone
