East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1904-11-23

John M. Hill, formerly register Of
the Walla Walla land office, who was
in Pendleton yesterday on business,
declares that there is no doubt but
that in proportion to the population,
Pendleton does almost twice the busi-
ness that is transacted in her larger
rival across the Washington line.
Mr. Hill is engaged I'm general land
business, and owing to his service In
the government land office, is ia.
miliar with the large tracts of arid
lands In Southeastern Washington.
There is a great future for the Pa
louise and Washtucna districts" he
said. almost the entire region en-
braced in Franklin and Yakima coun-
ties will one day be an Eden spot. The
problem of water is the only one to be
confronted, and the manner in which
the government is taking hold. indi-
Gates that IL is one that is solvable. /"

That Pendleton may have Y. M.
e. A. organization is the hope of E..
G.. Estabrook, who leaves tomorrow
night for Salem to attend the meet
ing of the Oregon and Idaho Y. M. C.
A. which will be held in that city on
November 25-27.
Mr.. Estabrook is the only delegate
from this city to the meeting, but he
will energetically press the suit of
Pendleten for "a local branch and
hopes to enlist the state organiza-
ton In the interest of this city.
Pendleton is now looked upon by
the state organization as the most
hopeful location for branch of the
society, and MIR. Estabrook will bring
the matter up and feels that he has
enough moral support and promised
financial help to justify the work of
erecting a building and fitting up eli
egant rooms here.
The organization is very strong in
Western Oregon, but through East
ern Oregon and Idaho the MEMBER
ship is small. A campaign for mem
bers and new organizations will be
started in this upper country next
spring

EXTRA TRAIN NOW ON.
o. II. & N. Runs a "Short' Train
From UmatiIla to North Fork.

In order to handle the heavy traf-
fic now almost blockading the o. X.
a. N. system, a ''short" freight run
has been put on between Umatilla ana
North Fork. A freight crew takes
full train out of Umatilla and leaves
part of 1t at Bingham Springs and
part at North Fork, returns to Uma-
tiila and repeats the operation.
The next regular train that comes
along picks up the cars set out at
Bingham Springs. where helper is
met. and the following regular tram
picks I'D the loads at North Fork. In
this way, the full tonnage of the reg
ular trains is supplied and the yards
at Umatilla and Pendleton are reliev-
ed of the congestion.
It is the heaviest traffic In the MS
tory of the o. R. & N. system. Many
sidetracks are filled to overflowing'
and the same short run is now oeing
operated between Huntington ana
Baker City. There are now lloo
tons of wheat billed for the east
awaiting shipment at Thorn Hollow
and a similar rush is seen every
where. on the line.

WHEAT AROUND THE HORN.
Cargo May BE Sent From Portland
TO New York.

Rumor has 1t that the American
ship Shenandoah has been chartered
to carry a cargo of flour and wheat
from Portland to New York. All the
shippers have heard the report, but
while processing to know nothing of
a definite nature, appear to believe
that 1t is true, says the Oregon Daily
Journal.
The Shenandoah Is lying at San
Francisco and could be got here in
short order. She is of more than 5000
tons net register and has an actual
carrying capacity OF more than 5000
tons. II she has been engaged for
the business named It is for the pur-
pose of assisting the railroad COM
panies in getting the heavy flour and
wheat shipments east.
There has been talk for several
months of dispatching cargoes around
the horn, but the difficulty standing
In the way Of the venture, 1t was
cited, was the lack of American ton
mage on the Pacific coast.
While suitable American tonnage
is said to be scarce in these waters,
there are a number OF vessels OF the
description desired at San Francisco,
and IT is generally believed that a
movement is on foot to place them in
the flour and grain trade between the
Pacific coast ports and the Atlantic
cities.
1t is declared that such course is
the only solution of the problem to
deliver the orders that have already
been placed for Pacific coast wheat
and flour. The statement is mace
that the railroad companies are una
BILE to handle all the traffic, and being
convinced of this fact many OF the
local flour dealers have not attempt
ed to make any further sales to east
ern buyers.

BYERs' MILL ROBBED.
TIL Cracked and Twelve Dollars
Taken.

Burglars entered the office at w.
s. Byers' mill sometime lagt night
and robbed the till. Mr.. Byers does
not know lust how much money was
taken, but says the coin did not
amount to more than $12.
The thief, or thieves, attempted to
gain an entrance by prying open
door, as is shown by the marks of
the Jimmy" on the jamb, but gave
up and entered through n window by
cutting through a screen and raising
the sash. The till was broken open
with a notary's seal that is In the
office.
II do not know just what is taken"
said Mr.. Byers, but have not miss
ed any papers A box of foreign coins
was left untouched. The money in
the till was mostly small change
There was perhaps SIS In nickles and
dimes and few halves and quarters" :"
1t is thought by the authorities
that the crime was committed by
hoboes who while they are adopts at
the work, were not provided with the
tools usually carried by burglars.
