More Rumors Denied.

President Ramsay. Of the Wabash
Railroad, has been denying some more
rumors- This time he gives his atten-
ten TO the reports that the system is ne
gOtiating for the purchase Of a PennsyI-
yania railroad which is TO become part
OF the system in its plan TO reach New
York. The line involved is the Reading.
Lancaster. and Southern.
The deniaIs were made in answer to Il
direct question asked Of Mr.. Ramsay
whether he was willing TO explain the
position Of the Wabash in regard TO Sc
curing an entrance into New York
4 should De pleased TO have the CD
pOrrunlty to do so" he replied. These
stories which creep up every day sug-
gesting Mr. Gould or the Wabash as the
sponsor Of almost every piece Of new
construction east OF Pittsture are very
annoying They place us in u false po-
slllon and tend 10 mislead the public in
the belief that the Wabash and Mr.
Gould are identified with properties
With which In reality they have not the
least interest. Every report which has
been published IN regard TO the plans
for the entrance Of the Wabash into
New \ ork is untrue
AT present We have absolutely no
project under way OF planned for reach
ing New York. At some future date
that matter will be developed. and II is
altogether probable that New York will
be the Eastern terminus of the Gould
system
Il should like to deny specifically and
emphatically the story published yester-
day morning that we are Interested in
the Whippany River Railroad. Of which

800 grams OF sausticsoda I've wash. This
mixture is heated and well shaken. The

Viii Be No Apology.

paper that they wish an apology. Well
the auxiliary will not get 1t, as I do
not owe them any.

which they are charged with, yet, after
the unanimous vote of the command TO

opinion. is proof that they are bent On
the destruction of the command as well
as the auxiliary
The climax Of all the trouble IN the
auxiliary, which caused eleven mem
bers TO forward their withdrawal there
from, dates from the initiation OF Mrs
Gen Nelson A Miles as a member AT a

Miles was one OF the signers of the ap-
LEGATION for the auxiliary charter. which
bears her name. but had never attended

Captain Dyer makes the following

OREGON APPLES WANTED
Their Superiority Is Acknowl-
edged In London Markets.

1t is stated that California now
ships about $50, 900 boxes of apples a
year to Great Britain, and that with
more care in packing the sales would
increase very largely. A number of
Oregon packers, who engaged in the
business with the determination to
perfect packing, regularly outsell any
California apples by about 81 box.
This is not because the apples are bet
ter, but because the packing is better I;
but the result is that since but few
Oregon packers are in the business,
all Of whom do good packing, Oregon
apples have come to be regarded in
tho British markets as "better" than
California apples. Prestige earned in

FIERCE OREGON SALMON
Thrilling Adventure OF a Late
Arrival From the East.

A new conner from the east, lately
arrived in Grants Pass, experienced a
novel adventure while taking In the
sights few days ago, according to
the story Of one who was there. The
oasterner in question was out ON the
dam watching the salmon which were
jumping in lively manner. Sud.
denly one huge fish made tremen-
dous leap, precipitating itself with
violence against his legs. In conster-
nation at the unexpected assault, the
fastener kicked the scaly monster
viciously, declaring that he would
kill it in self defense. He had fished
in many waters, he said, but this was
the first time he had ever been at
tackled by fish. Many wonderful
tales have been written concerning
the fercenoss of the Oregon salmon,
but this incident Is about as near a
demonstration Of such tales as has
ever been seen.
The other day a salmon missed the
fishway in wild leap and impaled
itself upon a spike several inches in
length, where it hung Topping and
kicking vigorously. A boy who
was near disentangled the fish and
threw IL back into the river. He was
asked why he did not keep the fish
aud replied that he would "get ar-
rested" IL he did.
