TO BUILD CUTOFF.
Northern Pacific Will Construct a
Line Between PrOsser
and Lind.

Seattle, Nov. 2.-The construction of
cutoff by the Northern Pacific from
Prosser to Lind, and the tapping of
the new district to be opened by the
proposed extension of the Sunyside ca
al is said to be practically assured.
The new country, which will contain
Sc, 900 acres of state lands, if the pro-
posal of the irrigation is approved by
the government, is on the opposite side
of he Yakima river from the railroad
The country also contains about $4,000
acres OF railroad lands, and the extern
sion of the canal will change it from a
desert into one of the best farming
communities in the state. The rail-
road by the proposed cutoff will short
en- it's line by about forty miles and
change it's route from one through an
undeveloped country into a route
through district that will soon fur
nish a great amount of freight and pas
eenger traffic.
1t is said that President Mellen. just
prior to his retirement, recommended
to the incoming president, Howard Ell
lott, that the railroad build the cut
off. The cutoff also has the approval
of the railroad directorate.

church in which the present pope had
officiated for 10 years as parish priest.

that have been mentioned as proceed

likeness which he wrote for the ben
eft of his parish clergy. The papers
abound with stories of his geniality
and humOr. Unlike many of his
brothers, he does not disdain the use
OF tobacco; he Is passionately fond Of
music, and Is himself musician who,
with the aid of Perosi, may be ex-
pected to effect considerable revival
Of church music.

Porte Must Protest.

Constantinople, Nov. AT an ex-
traordinar council of ministers it was
decided that the government must pro-
test against the Austrian Russian prop
osition that foreign officials be appoint
ed to positions that would carry with
them the right to give commands to
Turkish troops. 1t was stated that the
protest must set forth the fact that any
such appointment would affect the SOW
ereignty of the sultan, and therefore
could not be considered on any pretext.

FARMERS Ray MORTGAGES.
At PendletOn, Ore, III Debts Were
Released in One Day.

Pendleton, Or, Oct. 3l.-The re-
leases of III mortgages, representing
1856, 800, were filed with the county
recorder by the Pendleton Savings
Bank Wednesday afternoon. Most of
these mortgages were held by the bank
against farmers and stock men. Some
of them ran as high as $4,000, while
others were only for 500.
That is the largest number of salts
factions that has been filed al the
county Offices for many year. This
will be a record breaking year for
Umatilla county when it comes to pay
ing off mortgages. September was
considered record month when sixty
three debts were satisfied as against
forty for the same period last year.
The principal cause for these good
times is the high price the farmers re-
ceived for their wheat.

FIRE IN POPE'S PALACE DOES
GREAT DAMAGE.
Blaze Broke Out in Apartments OF
Celebrated French Re storer of
Ancient Manuscripts and Hum
mated Books-.WaGer Used as
Destructive as Flames.

Rome, Nov. Fire broke out at
half past o'colck last night in that
portion of the Vatican containing the
hall of inscriptions, where the pope
gives his audiences, and which is ada
cent to the famous Pinacoteca, or gal
lery of pictures. The alarm caused
much confusion and excitement in the
Vatican. Strenuous efforts we're made
to control the flames, mad the firemen
of Rome were called to lend their help.
Alta quarter past ii the fire was under
control.
No lives were lost. No idea of the
damage can yet be obtained. The pope
came to the scene in person and re-
manned until the arrangements to fight
the fire were made.
Causes Great Sensation.
The fire caused greater sensation in
Rome than any event since the death
of Pope Leo. The safety of the pope
was the first thought in everyone's
mind, but this was soon assured.
When the pontiff arrived at the scene
ne ordered everyone to assist in extin-
gushing the flames.
The first intimation of the fire was
had when smoke was seen issuing from
the apartment of M. Marie, which is
located above that of the librarian
M. Marie is a celebrated French re-
storer of ancient manuscripts and illu-
minated books. He is at present en-
gagged in copying work, and his first
Reproductions have been selected for
part of the Vatican exhibit at the st.
Louis exposition.
The gendarmes broke in the doors OF
M. Marie's apartment and found him
in heavy sleep. 1t is supposed he re-
tired and forgot to take proper precau-
tions with his kitchen fire, which prob
ably blazed up and ignited some near
by draperies.
AT little after IL o'clock the fire
was under control, but the work of the
fremen continued some time. The en-
tire museum of inscriptions, the rooms
of the librarian, part of the library and
the printing houses were entirely flood
ed With water. 1t is impossible to even
reach an approximate idea of the extent
of the damage. Many things that es-
capped the flames were injured by water
