WILL CROSS OREGON
SURVEYING PARTY COMING
WEST FROM ONTARIO.
Sail 10 BE Short Line People Laying
.Clnim to Right of Way Through
sialhcur Canyon, Which Is the Key
tn the Railroad Situation In That
Part of Oregon-Second Party Is
Now Coming.

John &. Lawrence of Ontario Nal
heur county, was in the city today en-
route to Walla Walla and Spokane
In speaking the railroad activity in
the vicinity of ontario this season, he
says that q corps of Oregon Short
Line engineers arrived there from the
east on the early train Saturday morn
ing and left Immediately for the
mouth of the Malheur river canyon,
which is about % miles west of that
place. 1t is reported that another sur
veyfng party of the same company is
EN- route. bound for the canyon.
The Corvallis & Eastern Railway
company now holds the right of way,
which they purchased from the Ore
gon Pacific several years ago. The
right by which that company secured
the route through this canyon will
soon expire.
1t is believed that Hartman inter
ests have an option on the Corvallis &
Eastern and are now putting engineers
into the field to hold the right of way
through the Malheur canyon, which
is the key to the most feasible route
from Eastern Oregon to Yaquina or
Coos Bay.
The old Oregon Pacific built sever
al miles of grade and laid about
quarter Of Il mile of track at the
mouth of this canyon about Is years
ago. The canyon is about rs. miles
in length and is narrow at places.
This move by the Short Line is
probably TO secure another link in
the Hartman line which it is reported
will be built from Butte, Mont. to
the Pacific coast in Oregon, and will
connect at Ontario with the line which
is soon To be built from Ontario to
Emmett and later to Boise to connect
with the line from Boise to Butte.

Lewiston, Nov. 6.-Yesterday's de-
struction of gambling devices by Sher-
III Foresman disclosed one of the
most marvellous electrical gambling
contrivances that has ever been dis
covered In the west.
Many suggestions have been made
of brace games" in connection with
roulette wheels, but not until the
thorough examination was made by
the officers was It revealed to what
extent the gambler will go in order
to win money.
A roulette wheel was discovered to
have been operated by an electric cur
rent. The batteries were placed be-
meath the table and the operative
mechanism controlling the stopping of
the marble on certain numbers, was
of such delicate nature that II could
never be exposed by n casual exami-
nation.
BY this means the gambler would

The county court shortly before

residents of Madras to incorporate as
city. The court found that out of
the AZ signatures attached to the pc

to persons at present living outside
of the prescribed limits as designated
in the petition, so that the total num-

WPIIknOWn Rector Resigns.

The members and congregation of st.
Johns Protestant Episcopal Church,
this place heard an announcement last
Sunday they had not anticlpated-tha
of the resignation of the reCtOrate by
Rev Alexander G. Haverstick. The
community was no less surprised, for all
had come To look upon the reverend gen
tleman and his family as religious and
social fixtures.
An interview with Mr. HaverstiCk one
day this week confirms IN detail his de-
termination to change his field of labor
to one of larger territory, greater re-
spOnsibility, and therefore, one of wider
opportunity for usefulness. He has aC-
cepted ii call to Fort Fairfield, Maine,
where the Bishop of that Diocese has
appointed him Arch-Deacon, with
canOnical supervision of the Clergy in
the northern part of the State. The call
is equivalent to promotion to "A consider
ably higher plane of church labor-one
which he will fill with the energy, enter
prise and devotion which have charac-
terized his work here.
MIR. Haverstick Is native of Phila-
delpha. Pa; collegian by education
and originally civil engineer by pro-
fession. Early in 1888 however, he was
ordained a Deacon, later a Priest, and
became rector of st. Johns, this place
All his career as Il clergyman, therefore,
has been spent here. OF his accomplish
ments the Cumberland Times well says
His work at FrOsthurg will he lasting
monument to his unuring effort and IN
dOmltabc perseverance in that during his
inCumbency, the parish, which was a small
one, has built a magnificent stone church
building. improved the old building to use
as a chapel, built house for the sexton and
purchased handsome and commodIous
rectory, all of which stand to-day uuin-
numbered by one cent of debt.
His work for the spiritual welfare of the
parish has been equally progressive and
fruitful.
