G0ULD'S PLANS

A dispatch from San Francisco says
if George Gould carries out his plans,
within a short space of time he will
have reached the Pacific coast with a
railroad in two places, one in California
and the other in Oregon.
While the two roads may retain sep
arate corporation identities, the man
ageIDent will be comething like that
Of the Union Pacific and the Oregon
Short Line.
BY the same interest the Western Pa
cifc is to connect the Gould system at
Salt Lake with San Francisco while
the Coos Bay road is to form link
between Salt Lake and the Northwest
ern Coast. 1t is the intention to build
up port at Coos Bay. which will bid
against Portland and Seattle for the
great and growing trade Of the Pacific
Northwest and of Siberia, China, Corea,
and Japan. The construction of the
Siberian Railroad has given an i'm
lnense impetus to the trade Of the

by Rockefeller, Is determined to have
share of it.
The Coos Bay road has not been sur
veyed. AS projected in a general way
it is to run from Coos Bay, 100 miles
north of the California line. southwest
through rich timber and agricultural
districts in Southern Oregon and across
Northern Nevada and Utah to Salt
Lake.
If rich timber district is what the
proposed road is seeking, it will come
up the coast from Coos Bay.

Californians are justly elated over

nor is she the result of any theory or
plan by which such an animal was to
be produced. Like Topsy she Just

age over that creature of having her
parentage known. 1t was at famous
Readville Park near Boston that she
performed the wonderful feat of cover

the date was Monday, August "a. She
was driven by Millard Sanders who has
had her in charge since December, 1901,
and TO his mastery skin in preparing
and educating the dainty. willful little
Miss, is much OF the credit of the great
performance due. While Lou Dillon has
been more than once heralded by some
of the more enthusiastic as the two
minute trotter there are very few who
really believed she would so soon prove
it, and anyone who had possessed the
termerity to wager money on her trot-
mile in two minutes could have had
thousands of dollars covered at odds of
ten to one. 1t was only a few weeks
since the anti-two minute theorist, DR..
Geo. H. Bailey of Portland, Maine. Of

nor any other trotter would accomplish

In fact, the two minute trotter had ar
rived a little sooner than vas expected
by even the most enthusiastic and OPP

she is here in the flesh and is California
bred and born. So much has been writ

Dillon, her pedigree and performances,
that her mile in two minutes is not
surprising to the public even though it

According to relegrapnic message
received by Senator Mitchell, the trans
port Grant. which is being converted
into a dredge for use at the mouth of
the Columbia, will not be ready before
October This information is discourag-
ing. as the dredge will, If the latest
promises of the department Is made
good, be four months late. By the time
she arrives the weather will probably
be stormy and her operations will be
intsrfered with. Just what is causing
all this delay is a mystery. 1t was
originally promised that the Grant
would be here in July. Other promises
for the completion of the vessel at
later dates also failed to materialize.
Senator Mitchelrs message comes from
General Gillespie, however and it is
probable the long g-looked-for dredge
will really be here next month.

COPPER AFFECTED.
Amalgamated Copper was the fellow
sufferer most Rcutely affected. The stock
fell to a new low record Of 555Sc in the
late dealings, after some show of support
had been accorded above IS. 1t was argued
that the reaction in the iron and steel
market must extend TO Copper, while the
relative price OF AmalgaInated and
United States Steel on a similar dividend
level was again used to the disadvantage
OF the former stock. Brokers whose op-
erauons yesterday on the buying side in
various stocks were attributed 10 inside
supporting orders turned sellers to-day
with corresponding effect on the general
sentiment. The weakness was by no
means confined to the industrials and the
