Three million dollars are to be ex-
pended on the Hartman lines in Ore
gon in 1905. One hundred and forty
eight miles OF 8O-pound steel rails
will be laid on the Southern Pacific
line, commencing at Ashland and
running north. Eighty miles Of track
between Ashland and Portland will
be ballasted, and $87O,OOO is set aside
for construction and repairs in the
bridge department, for rebuilding
wooden trestIes with steel, and for
making fills. 1t is to be hoped that
the company will continue the good
work of ballasting the Yamhill divi-
sion between Dallas and Portland,
and also on the Airlie end Of the line.
A large amount Of gravel was hauled
from the bar at Independence before
the rainy season began, and it is not
unlikely that the work Of improving
the Dallas Portland line will be re-
sumed in the early Spring.

was raised in less than two hours.
The soliciting committee started out

and enthusiastic responses all along
the line, did not cease work until $3.50
had been raised. The progressive
spirit Of these business men is de-

OFFICERS ARE ELECTED
Polk County School Officers Effect
Permanent Organization.

As a result of last Saturdays meet
ing, the Polk County School Officers
Association is now permanent
organization. Officers for the ensuing
year were elected, and plan Of work
agreed upon. The county was divided
into ten districts, in each Of which
local institutes will he held as often
as once year. The attendance at
Saturdays meeting was good, many
of the teachers having remained over
from the institute to attend the session.
Subjects of interest to school direc-
tors and clerks were discussed, and
valuable talks were made by Super
tendents Alderman, Hartranft, Starr,
and Hon. George Myer Among the
suggestions was one for a law leaving
the school money in the hands of the
County Treasurer, to be drawn out as
required by the Clerks of the districts.
The law would apply only to districts
of the second and third class, Mr..
Alderman gave as a leading reason
the doing away with the system Of
giving bonds by the Clerks of the
many small districts.
Officers were elected as follows: !:
President, William Grant; secretary,
G. L. Starr. Vice-presidents for the
various institute districts were chosen
as follows: Rickreall, George Myer;

ing Murderous Knife.

For cutting a cash four inches long
in the cheek of James Reed, James
Mathews was sentenced by a jury in
Justice Mann's court Saturday after
noon to pay fine of $1OO and costs,
amounting in all to $125.
Both the defendant and complain

ing from a dance. For the defense
it was testifieu that Reed had ad.
vanced upon Mathews in a threaten
ing manner, all the time calling him
names calculated to show the belliger.
ent intention of Reed, and that Math-
ews used the knife only when an as
sault upon himself seemed imminent.
H. G. Crippen, who conducted the
defense, gave notice of an appeal,
holding that the assault had been
justified on the ground of self-defense.
Later he gave theanecessary bond and
Mathews was released pending dis
position of his case in the district
court.
The complaint charged only assault
in the third degree. 1t is said that
when Mathews faces the higher courts
it will be on a more serious charge,
as an information is to be filed against
him alleging assault in the second de-
gree, an offense punishable by i'm.

GO BACK TO BUTTE.
Girl Tramp and Male Companion
Charged with Burglary.

Notice has been received by Sheriff
Hubbard from the sheriff at Butte
| that an officer will be down here for
the purpose OF taking back to that
city Jennie Morrison and her COM
panion, who gave his name here as
Bert Williams, as charge of burglary
is hanging over them there and they
are to be tried on it,.
The pair were arrested here some
thing over week ago on the charge
OF vagrancy. When searched at the
police station a loaded revolver was
found on each and they were arraign-
ed for carrying concealed weapons.
Each pleaded guilty and was fined,
besides being given a Jail sentence.
AT that time the girl was dressed in
male attire and claimed to be broth
er OF the man with her. She said her
name was Frank Williams. 1t was
not until after she was locked up in
the county Jail that her sex was dis
covered. A remark made to her by
her supposed brother about sleeping
without disrobing caused the other
prisoners to become suspicious and
they proceeded to satisfy themselves
in manner that soon caused the
alleged boy to yell Justify for help.
Upon the appearance of Jailer Hard
ing she confessed the deception she
had been practicing and since then
has been confined in the woman's de.
partment.
Previous to their arrival here the
couple were at Butte, where they were
arrested. The girl then was masquer-
aiding in boys clothing, but her sex
was discovered and some of the geod
women of the town interested them-l
selves in her behalf. Jennie Morrisoha
was the name she gave there, While
Ed Grant was what the man called
himself. The latter was kept in Jail
and the girl given home in family.
At last the man was released and the
two left. Before going, however, it is
claimed, they robbed the house of the
girls benefactress, taking, so it is
charged, couple of revolvers, some
other valuables and a small sum of
money 1t is for the theft of these
that they are to be tried at Butte.

OF BRILLIANT IMAGINATION.
81. Louis Liar Spreads Himself on
Montana Weather.

Working on the local staff of the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat is young
man who has been assigned to the
task OF writing dally bits OF news and
gossip concerning the exposition.
Whie he may be clever enough as
writer, he shows lamentable ignor-
ance on the subject OF Montana's eli
mate, which he seems to regard as
sort OF compromise between that OF
the north coast OF Alaska and the arc
] tic regions. At least that is the i'm
preston conveyed in his "story" OF
the dedication of the Montana state
building, in which he perpetrates the
following astonisher:
Montana dedicated yesterday and
complained of the heat, although it
was cool day as we diagnose wea-
ther in the Mississippi valley. But
Montana, among her mountains, feels
that any temperature over 80 is sub
tropical and wonders why we don't
raise bananas in the bottom lands
along the river.
Montana is the one mountain
state that housed herself in large
building at the fair, and she occupies
one of the greenest and coolest spots
to be found. Shaded on all sides by
forest trees, the people from the state
that consists mostly of Butte, town
which copper mine and Mary Mac.
Lane made famous, are prepared to
go through the summer as comfort.
ably as they may; that is, as comfort
ably as people who are accustomed to
1O-foot snowdritts can. AS long as
the supply of ice and otner things
holds out we shall try to make the
Montanans feel at home. There was
large brass band present at the
dedication, and great many people
who were not residents of Montana,
but would like to be this coming July
and August, gathered from far and
near to help the Montana people dedi-
cate. Hospitality was dispensed and
wagons loaded with ice cream and the
