he performed what is universally al.
lowed to be the most difficult feat ever
attempted in surgery. clergyman
was afflicted with an enormous tumor
in the neck, in which were imbedded
and twisted many Of the great after
les. In removing the tumor 1t was
necessary to take out entire one of the
collar bones, to lay bare the mem
brane inClosing the lungs, to dissect
around arteries displaced by the tu-
NOR aud imbedded in IL, to apply A.
lgatures and remove an immense
mass OF disease ed matter. All this was
done without the aid of chlorotOrm.

Logan and Cache Valley have ever
been interested in any rumor that
there is even possibility OF securing
better railroad facilities, and Just now
when II seems more than probable
that the O. S. l.. is not going to bet
ter the service for the larger portion
of the people of the valley, any rumor
that a new road may possibly build in
here comes with exceptional interest.
The following from the Deseret News
lends hope and that the possibilities
represented may eventually become a
certainty Is the prayer of this long
suffering public The News says:
despite the denials OF high otlicals
of the Denver g. Rio Grande the
rumor continues to gain credence that
the Rio Grande Western has its eyes
on Cache Valley and Idaho and is
seriously considering the proposition
of invading the heretofore exclusive
territory of the Oregon Short Line to
the north.
AS n forerunncr to this move IL Is as.
serted that the purchase last week of
additional terminals and realty in
Ogden by the Gould interests were in
anticipation of construction cam
paign north.
The story of the Rio Grande build
ing into Cache valley and north into
Idaho is not new one. IL was one of
the pet schemes of S. II. Babcock,
traffic manager of the Rio Grande
Western, He collected an immense
amount Of data as 10 the tonnage orig
mating in Short Line territory north
and so impressed were the executive
heads of the road with the figures
that some six years ago preliminary sur
veys for Rio Grand extension were
run through Bear River canyon. On

called into New York about the time

partnent from the Washington Irri
CATION company, owners of the
Sunnyslde canal, looking to the
sale to the government of all the
company's property and rights in
Yakima valley for $3.50, 900. The
offer is under consideration.
Secretary Hitchcock said today
that he was not prepared to an
nounce what the government would
do. State Land Commissioner
Ross is bending every effort toward
securing the approval of the states
selections by the secretary of the
interior. The matter was going
smoothly until today, the papers
being ready for the secretary's sig
nature, when tie reclamation serv-
ice registered a protest. This pro.
test was not unexpected.
As soon as Commissioner Ross
encountered the protest of the re-
clamation service at the interior de-
partment today he walked up F
street and entered the Office of En-
gineer Newell, of the reclamation
service, in the geological survey
building. Mr.. Newell and Con-
sulting engineer Bien, of the recla-
nation service, were in the room.
Mr.. Ross told the chief engineer
that he had come to learn what the
ground of objection was, and to
obtain copy of the report recently
made to the board of consulting
engineers. Mr.. Newell replied that
he could not give him this report,
as it was before the secretary for
his consideration, and he had no
right to make its contents public

Saturday, June 3, Fixed As the
Day.
Vice-President Fairbanks and Sena-
t0rial Party May Be Present at
The Dalles

The Portage road will be opened
to the public on Saturday, June ;,
instead Of on May 80, as was in
tended, according to an agreement
reached at a meeting of the execu-
tive committee Of the Open River
association May 20.
The change has been made in
view Of the fact that the date first
set apart fell on Decoration day,
and SO many of those who were
expected to take part in the open
ing exercises had promised to assist
at different Decoration day celebra-
tions.
Another reason for the change
was that Senator Fulton had agreed
to meet the Senatorial party now
on the way here from the East to
attend the opening Of the exposition
and ask the members of the party,
together with Vice-President Fair
banks and Speaker Joseph Cannon,
to lend their presence to the occa-
sion OF the opening. 1t will be ar
ranged for the entire party to be
taken up the Columbia by boat on
Saturday morning in time to be
present at the exercises at The
Dalles.
An elaborate program is being
arranged, which will include
speeches by several of the distin-
guished visitors who have been in
vited to attend, as we'll as by men,
bers of the state board and the
Open River association. This pro-
gramme will be announced as soon
as all details have been settled.

THEY ARE SAT- SIZED


Prom the opinions expressed by
the strawberry growers as they con-
gregate at the depot each day to
make their shipments, we find that
there is no doubt in any of their
minds as to Kennewick S future as
berry district. While they have
all suffered from the bad weather
this spring they, without exception,
say they are more than ever CON
vinced that this place will continue
to place the first berries or the mar
ket each year and receive the cream
of the market price. This year has
been the worst in the history of the
valley and still our berries have
gone on the market from week to
two weeks ahead OF all competitors.
II fact the only place that has suf-
fcient territory to ever compete
with Us in quantity, Hood River,
has just come on the market this
week, and the market prices re-
ceived show that even that place is
not formidable competitor. We
have never Sold a berry this seast u
for less than $500 a crate and we
are informed that the first crate of
Hood River berries were sold for
$50 crate.
When such men as Rev. Mr..
Bartlett, J. Sercotnbe, H. Delepine,
R. A. Oliver, c. B. Mcconnell, w.
S. Haxton and A. Spence, the
heaviest growers in the valley, say
they are more than satisfied we see
no reason for Others to be disap-
pointed.

The Date Changed.

AS will be seen by dispatch in
this issue the excursion to The

day the end of next north. The
exercises will be held at that place
on Saturday, the 3rd. Capt. Dan

that he would write him regarding

will be able to tell you about it to-
morrow.
