street. but this is question that has
not baen settled beyond @feasonapie
doubt. Like a snowflake out of a
summer Sky the Maltese Cross came to
him or rather he came to it early this
morning on Louisiana avenue. The
prize was $40
snug as a bug in rug the envelope
had waited all yesterday afternoon to
be found while a huge mob ransacked
the area around the corner of Ninth
street and Louisiana avenue. When the
rain fell in torrents last night the
searchers for the Maltese Cross were
forced to seek shelter. Reluctantly they
gave up the hunt. Would the money
be washed away? There was no dan
ger OF this, however. for the hider
rad carefully put it out of reach of the
water, which drenched everything else
in sight
Crowd Sweeps Sidewalks.
Time and the Maltese Cross seekers
wait for no man-especially if that man
happens to be in the path of the crowd
following the person who walks the
streets, pa'lsing only to mark Maltese
Crosses, as clues to the hidden money.
Ihis was the case during the chase yes
terday. and in not one instance did the
crowd ask the unfortunate man to get
out of the way.
Long before 4:45 o'clock, the hour
designated for the start of the young

Now that the supreme court has
dissolved the combination of the great
railroads, a real war for territory may
begin in the Northwest. The New
York Herald says:
FOLLOWING the elimination of Ed
ward II. Hartman from the director
ate of the Northern Securities COM
pany, and the probable retirement |
from the board of Jacob H. Schiff |
and James Stillman, the only remain
ing representatives of the Union Pa
cific interests, railroad and financial
circles have placed a new construc-
ton on the proposed authorization of
800. 100000 in new Union Pacific
preferred stock.
Sinews of War.
According to a statement made
yesterday by a leading railroad auth
ority it is not improbable that at least
portion of the preferred stock issue
| is to provide the sinews of war for
great railroad contest for the suprem-
acy of the Northwest to be launched
by the Hartman interests against
| James J. Hill.
! There are indications, it is said,
that the funds will be expended in
constructing network of branch lines
from the Union Pacific into Northern
Pacific territory.
at is expected that this action
would be met at once by James j.
Hill by the invasion of Union Pacific
territory with extensions from the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail-
road
To Reimburse Union Pacific.
"The remainder of the Union Pa
cific stock issue is intended to reim
burse the company for sums expended
in many Of the systems recent acqui
sitions, such as the San Pedro road
: its many traction properties and small
lines to the Pacific coast. At leas
D this construction is placed on tn
wording of the statement issued b
n the directors, in which it was said
i portion of the issue was intended t
: pay for the stocks of other companie!
c The companies referred to would thu
resolve themselves into lines alread

d Further developments in this d
p rection are expected after the distril

Less Water in silvies.

NJ. L. Lewis went out to Silvies
Wednesday to take measurements of
the water for the government geolog-

much less there than at this time last
year. He also observed conditions
there and also on Emlgrant creek,
and is positive the flow will keep up
longer this year than last. He says
Silvies river will be carrying the pres
ent amount of water up to the first

Foundation of The Dalles.

Before Assessor Stogsdill started to
take the census various guesses were
made as to the number of residents
in West Dalles precinct and they
ranged all the way from 500 to 1900.
That enumeration has been complet-
ed and he finds within its boundaries
$50 people. Bigelow is the largest
precinct in the city, having perhaps
1900, though West Dalles is the only
one vet finished. "Your informant
was mistaken" said the assessor to-
day. "when he said gave as my opin-
ion that The Dalles would prove to
have 5000 inhabitants. I said If they
are here I'll find 'em, but 1 hardly
expect more than 45OO."-The Dalles
