and the other local officials of the road,
who were in attendance upon the meet

The exact time of arrival and de-

that according to present arrangements
the schedle will probably be as follows:

7 AS p. M, instead Of s :l5.
No. arrive at Portland at p. m. in

The Value of RadiuIn.

In regard to the value OF radium, ra-
dunn chloride of the activity of 24O
sells for about $50 an ounce. The ra-
dunn salts used by the author in the
experiments at the American Museum
of Natural History. 127 milligrams-
equal to about one-eighth of gram or
| 249 of an ounce-represented a value
of $274, or rate of $64 800 per ounce
troy. This radium was of the activity
of 100000. The museum ordered. at
the request of Edward D. Adams, Of
New York City, and as a gift to carry
on the investigations, radium of an &C
tlvity of |, 100000, valued at $500 for 100
millgrams, or at the rate of $19S, 900
per ounce. The small sample used rep
re.ents the concentration of more than
one ton of blende; the l 800, 900
sa pie, probably the concentration OF
four or five tons, and yet the entire
quantity could be put in the end of a
thimble and not occupy one fourth OF
the space remaining between that and
the finger. Radum compounds with
an activity of 40 can be bought for $40
an ounce. 1t is only when it has been
fractionated and increased in it's activity
that it becomes very costly-like steel,
itself worth only trifle per pound, but
worth many times the value Of gold
when manufactured into watch springs

Portage Railway Estimates.

Salem, Or. Nov. 6.-The State Board
of Portage Railway Commissioners held
brief meeting today and audited
number of bills incurred in making the
preliminary survey for the right of way.
The report of the engineer, previous
ly made orally, was submitted in writ.
ing and placed on file. This report con-
tains among other things the estimates
made by the engineer for the lnforma-
ton of the board concerning the prob
able cost of each class of work and ma
terials necessary for the construction
and equipment of the road.
AS the board is to receive bids for fur
nishing the material and work and the
publication of the estimates might in
terfere with their securing the lowest
possible bids, the details of the esti-
mates are not made public. 1t is stated,
however, that the total comes inside the
state appropriation of $165,O00, with a
small overpus that may be used in de-
frsying the expense of procuring right
of way.
The report says that as originally sur
veyed, the road would twice cross the
O. R. & N. tracks at Cello, but upon
learning all the circumstances, it had
been decided to change the course SO
that the portage road would run paral-
lei with the O. r. & N. tracks for a
short distance and between the railroad
and the buildings of j. II. Taffe.
The engineer reports that all his work
has been completed and that he will
haye nothing further to do until the
states condemnation suit comes to trial.

quish the use of the new invention
which materially aids in running up
high scores with less effort than here
tofore, and unless the bowling congress
takes a strong stand against it still
more serious trouble is sure to follow.
It seems impossible for the bowlers
to let year go by without raising
some cause for dissensien. At times
their disputes resemble kindergarten
troubles. In bowling as in all other
sports, the participants must sacrifice
petty personal feelings for the good OF
the body polite. Fair minded bowlers
agree that the use of the loaded ball is
pernicious; therefore but one thing re-
mains to be done-cut it out altogether

In the half mile professional event at
Montreal Nilssen was so hard pressed
that he was forced to equal the world s
record Of I'm. II 1-5s. to win. Harley
Davidson of St Louis and Sinnirud
held on tenaciousiy in this race. and it
was only by superhuman effort that
the Minnesotian shook them off. Da-
wilson and Sinnirud finished second
and third respectively.
An example of Nilssen's grit was
shown in the three mile international
championship race. He led the field
from the start until the final turn,
when his skate slipped, and he fell back
into the group following him. He ap-
peared hopelessly beaten. AS the des-
perately fighting skaters swept into the
stretch, however. the hundreds ef spec
tators we're amazed to see Nilssen with
