Portage Road Success.

preparing the Cello end OF the canal.
The concrete work will begin in eight or
ten days. and if good weather contir ues
for ten days the work will be in such
shape that water will not affect it, nd
it can continue without interruption all
winter. OF course the work now under
way is only at the Cello end of Il Q

present contract covers about quarter
o. a mile ! believe. After that is fr-
ished, TIE remainder of the canal will
be constructed. The whole canal will
be about seven miles in length. ."-Port~

HARRIMAN WILL BUILD.
Announces That Millions Will He
Spent in Oregon.

''The Hartman system will expend
$4,16O,0O0 in Oregon in addition to
sums prev ous'y announced for new
lines already described" declares Gen
eral Manager James =. O'Brien OF the
Hartman lines in Oregon. 81 am au-
thorized from headquarters to make
this announcement. That additional
sum has been appropriated and will be
spent as soon as the preliminar.es can
be arranged. Already the Hartman
system has authorized the expenditure
OF several millions for the construction
of the new road from Drain to Coos Bay
and operations are actually in progress
there, with right OF way practically all
secured. There is also the extension of
the E gin branch and other Lew lines,
in the Snake River country and else
where that had been announced hereto
fore.
"The 81 10000 of additional funds
for the construction OF new lines viii en-
abe the Hartman system to gridlron
the state sufficiently to We it command
of the field and to serve the people of
Oregon efficiently and in manner COM
mensurate with present needs.
"No rights of way have been secured
for the new lines that are to be built
with the 81, 100, 900, and there are alb
solutely no details further than the fore
going that can be given at this time"
The news comes as q tremendous
surprise and sensational reports of Har-
riman lines projected in various
quarters are rife. 1t is said the ap-
preparation is not enough to build line
through central Oregon from East to
West, but is more than enough to carry
out any of the smaller projects. Where
will the money be spent? This is the
question that thrills all Oregon wher-
ever there has been Hartman survey
projected.
The report that Hartman was be-
hind E, f. Lytle in construction OF a
line to Tlllamook aud Astoria via the
coast route. while denied from Jfficial
sources, has found many believers, but
this line could be built with littls more
than half the amount named by Mr..
O'Br en-. To built a railroad from the
Willamette valley to Ontario would re.
quire at least $4,000, 900. And no COM
pany would project such line part of
the distance without having arranged to
build the entire distance.
By those who are most familiar with
the Hartman plans it is believed the
sensational news today means imme di-
ate construction of the road from Eu
gene through the Cascade mountains to
Fort Klamath, under auspices OF a
recently formed bv Colonel
William Crooks and other Hartman |
officials. This route is regarded as the |
most important strategic ground now
open to railroad maneuver in Western
Oregon. With an established line oc-
cupying the pass south OF Crescent lake
and in possession OF the transportation
business between Portland and For
Klamath, with an open field to the east
ward for rush and tackle in any game OF
railroad building that might be started
through central Oregon, it is said Har-
-iman practically controls the situation
n this state, aud that in no other way
,an he do so.

FIX ELECTRIC WIRES

Employees of the Electric Light
company in the city are engaged
this week in raising the electric light
wires that cross the river on the
Green Bay & Western railroad bridge
above the city. These are the wires
that caused the death of Julian King
few weeks ago. At the inquest at
that time it was suggested that the
wires might cause the death of work.
men that would be laboring at the
bridge in repairing or painting it,,
and the company has determined to
take 40 risks, and the wires are being
raised from distance of three feet
above the bridge to eight feet. Short
poles are set up and braced above the
and the wires strung
from these so that at no place are the
wires closer to the bridge than seven
feet. This will prevent any accident
such as was suggested at the inquest
from happening.

DAVID HARUM

David Harum will be presented at
the opera house on next Wednesday
evening by the Curtis Dramatic Go.
Mr.. Curtis has been pronounced as
having no equal in the character of
David Harum, who is a way-down-
east banker and horse trader, a man
who would rather make ten dollars on
horse trade than hundred in his
bank; sharp, shrewd and witty with a
kind heart and always lgood natured.
One Of the scenes to be remembered
is the horse trade with Deacon Per.
kins, where David says he was done
so we'll he was burnt in places. Also
the scene where the deacon gets
caught in a heavy shower of rain with
the balky horse, and the one on
Christmas morning in Aunt Polly's
sitting room, where David tells the
story of his boyhood days and MS trip
to the country circus.
Don't fail to see this production,
which is only recently being played in
the smaller cities on account of the
enormous royalty required by the
author. Prices 15c, 25c and 35c.

MAIL CLOSES EARLIER

You should not overlook this notice
of earlier closing of the mail in this
city. and then you will be saved
missing sending an important letter
some time. Hereafter, or rather after
August 3. the mail sacks will be
closed at eight o'clock instead of at
nine and mail going south at night
will have to be in the Office at that
time. This will not Inconvenience
anyone, only few who have been in
the habit of delaying posting their
letters till late. As it was, the
employees were compelled to wait till
nine O'Clock for half dozen letters
that could have been mailed earlier
just as well as not. Therefore
remember that the mail will, after
August 3, be closed at eight o'clock
in the evening instead of at nine
O'Clock.

THE WORK CONTINUES
Excitment at Mellen over Copper
Find C0ntinues--Big Vein is
Discovered,

The search for copper on the Peno-
kee range in the vicinity of Mellen
still continues unabated and people in
the vicinity of that village are very
optimistic over this region being a
great producer of copper. A. W..
Peterson we'll known Mellen resident
was in the city last evening with
several specimens from the Baraba
property and local men to whom they
were shown stated that they were the
finest they had ever seen. Mr..
Peterson states that the work of
exploring the property is being pushed
and they have now uncovered a vein
fifteen feet in width and sixty-fiye
feet in length which they are certain
extends for several miles. Van
DOuser the Phillips banker has options
on the property and is furnishing the
money to explore the property. He
has refused several offers for option as
be is confident that he has struck a
mine. e.-Ashland Daily News.

''There is one peculiar thing about
dogs" remarked a well known local
fancier and huntsman, land that is
you never see one pant and wag his
tail at the same time. A dog is not
capable of double emotion. He
can't growl and wag his tail at the
same time, for it is impossible for him
to be mad at one end and glad at the
other.
eff dog is glad to see his master
he will bark and wag his tail. II he
wants to get into the house he will
paw at the door, whine and wag his
tell, but they are all symptoms Of one
and the same emotion. But if his
master opens the door he will cease to
show anxiety Immediately by whining,
and will show pleasure only by the
wagging of his tail.
SIN order to get mans temper
one must watch his eyes, but for a
dogs you have to watch his tail.
The dog is likewise incapable of
deceit, and hence he is nothing of a
politician. He deceives no one, not
even his master. II he is overjoyed,
every emotion is indicative Of that
fact, and his Whole makeup gives
ample testimony 10 it. II he is
displeased or angered, it is the same
way"

PENSION DECISIONS
BY the Assistant Secretary Of
the Department OF the Interior.

Helpless Minor--A child who is an
incurable epileptic, having a falling
fit once week, on an average, and
nervous attacks much oftener, who is
vigorous in body, but dull mentally,
who is able to attend to his personal
wants except when suffering from an
epileptic seizure, and can perfoI m
some renumerative labor but not
nearly sufficient to afford him a
support, is permanently helpless" in
the contemplation of the law, and
the pension on his account should be
continued.
Service-Dishonora Discharge
Soldier having been dishonorably
discharged from the service during
the war of the rebellion his widow has
no title to pension under the act Of
May 9, 1900.
eclaratiOn-PenSion under old law
may commence from date of filing an
informal declaration when the in
formality is cured by the subsequent
filing of a formal declaration.
But declaration executed before
an officer not shown to be authorized
to administer OathS for general
purposes will be considered informal,
but not durable in the manner
specified.
Fraud or miStake-Reimbur
The government cannot withhold
the pension granted under the act of
June q, 1890, to reimburse itself for
moneys enormously paid as pension
under the general law when such
pension was not procured through
fraud or mistake, but was allowed as
the result of an erroneous Judgement
