46 MILES OF CARS.
o. II. d N. HAS MADE
EXTENSIVE ORDERS.
Over 10000 Freight and 5000 Passcn-
ger Cars Have Been Ordered by
Hartman Llnes-Thc Freight Cars
Now Ordered Would Make String
OF Cars Over 48 Miles I'm Length.

1t is said that 10000 freight and
5000 passenger cars is conservative
estimate Of the number of new cars
now ordered by the railways of the
United States for delivery next year,
says the Oregon Daily Journal.
An enormous increase of all kinds
Of railroad equipment, far beyond
anything known in the history of the
country, Is scheduled. 1t is said the
shortage of the last three months, so
ruinous to all Industries, has been a
terrible lesson to the railroads, and as
result all the car building plants of
the country are overloaded with rush
orders.
The locomotive builders are sim
llarly deluged with orders and the
steel rail mills and kindred manufac-
turing plants producing railroad ma
terials are taxed beyond their capaci-
ty, Oregon lumber mills are being
drawn upon heavily for lumber used
in the manufacture of cars.
II would not undertake to say how
many cars OF all kinds have been or
lered by the Hartman lines" said
General Manager ]. p. O'Brien Of the
Oregon roads. THE equipment will
be very largely increased. These cars
will be used in common by the South
ern Pacific and Union Pacific sys-
TENS"
It Is learned authorltatively that
the Hartman companies have order
ed a total of 5000 cars of all classes,
40 locomotives, 122 passenger cars,
% baggage cars, seven observation
smoking cars and seven dining cars.
The locomotives hitched together in
4 line, would make a train nearly two
miles long.
The freight cars, coupled together,
would make a train nearly 43 miles
In length, and the new passenger cars
| would add a mile and a half to thot,
making.a total of more than 46 miles,
n a train reaching from Portland to
Cascade Locks.
Forty-eight per cent of the locomo-
tives, 81 per cent of the freight cars
| and SO per cent of the passenger cars
ordered by the associated lines have
| been assigned to the Southern Pacific
lines, and the remainder go to the
Union Pacific, oregon Short Line and
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company OF the freight car class A.
O5O are box-cars of so tons capacity,
and there are 400 stock cars and 500
| flat cars.

BRIDGE AT PASCO.
Northern Pacific May Make This the
Main Crossing.

Judging from information that l
obtained at Pasco yesterday and from
the observations made ! am of the
opinion that the Northern Pacific has
abandoned the idea of building its
north bank line from Kennewick to-
ward Wallula." said prominent
Walla Walla business man who re-
turned this morning from a trip
through Franklin and Benton coun-
ties. to the Statesman.
while in Pasco I had q conver-
sation with a prominent railroad man
and while he did not impart any di-
rect information regarding the plans
Of the Hill interests in the construc-
ton of It's north bank road, he limited
sufficiently to lead me to believe that
a bridge is to be built at Wallula and
that all of the Northern and Great
Northern trains destined to Portland
will be sent by that town and thence
down the north bank of the river
81 was informed that the Northern
Pacific has plans under way for
building another track from Pasco to
Wallula. which would give the road
double track system between the two
places.
"As far as I have been able to as

trains between Spokane and Pasco."

conversation in Port Royal and the VI cinity that day. Now the work of the day was over, and, as usual, the Blue Anchor tavern was crowded with men from the frigate and other shipping in the harbor, mingling with others from the purlieus of the town. Fumes of rum and spirits pervaded the tobacco smoked barroom, which served as the main parlor of the inn. It was yet early in the evening, brt the crowd, infamed with liquor, was already in uproarious mood. Over in a corner q young Englishman was singing in a rich, deep voice new song by a fa- nous poet of London town: Let us sing and be merry, dance. joke
 and rejoice,
 With claret and sherry. theorbo and
 voice!
 The changeable world to our joy is un-
 just.

 choly;
 Fish dinners will make a man spring like

 Dame Venus. loves lady.
 Was born of the sea: With her and with Bacchus we'll tickle For we shall be past it a hundred years
 hence.''
 It was a popular song evidently, foi the whole assembly joined in the cho rus:
 "In frolics dispose your pounds. shillings
 and pence.
 For we shall be nothing a hundred years
 hence"
 They roared it out in the deep bass voices of the sea. marking the time by hammering in unison upon the oaken tables with their pewter mugs and flag ons.

 "A good plan, Master Morgan" cried Hornigold, forgetting the title as the scheme unfolded itself to him. "What's o'clock, wonder?"
 As he spoke the sound of bell tapped softly came floating over the quiet water from the Mary Rose.
 ''Four bells," answered Morgan, lis- tening; "at 10 of the clock, then, shall be here"
 Leave the rest to me, sir" answered Hornigold.
 T shall. That will be your boat yon- der?'
 Aye. Just beyond the point"
 "Is anybody aboard of herr?
 "No one."
 ''Is there rum and water enough for one day?'
 "Plenty. In the locker in the cuddy. ~
 Good! Come, Carib! Until tomore row night, then!'
 Aye, aye, sir!" said Hornigold, lean- ing over the pier and watching the boat fade into black blur on the wa ter as it drew away toward the pin mace.
 He's mine, by heaven, he's mine!" he whispered under his breath as he turned and walked slowly up to tho house.
 It was late when Hornigold returned to the parlor of the Blue Anchor inn. Half the company were drunk on the floor under the tables. The rest were singing or shouting or cursing in ac- cordance with their several moods.
 By his orders the inn servants at once cleared the room of the vainly pro testing revelers. Those whose appear ance indicated degree of respecta- bility which promised payment for their accommodation were put to bed. The common sort were bundled uncere- moniously out on the strand before the door and left to sober up as best they might in the soft tropic night. Teach, Raveneau and the Brazilian were de. tained for conference with the boat swain. To these worthies, therefore, Hornigold unfolded Morgan's plan, which they embraced with alacrity, promising each to do his share. velsers was too stupidly drunk to be told any, thing, but they knew they could count ;nppn, ,hinbNitl2nt fail. w

Tie Feeling of Autumn.

From his journal of October Days
Mr.. John Burroughs contributes page
of notes to the Country Calendar that
bring the feeling of autumn curiously
near to the reader, says the New York
Post. Thus of the 18th he writes:
The beginning of a change in the
weather from very warm to cold and
rain. the birds suddenly very numerous
and friendly, robins all about the
ground piping and darting among the
apple trees, sparrows fitting and chip
pering about the house. A moment ago
a sparrow came and tapped ON my
window and looked in roguishly upon
me- Snowbirds are here, too, with
their quick and almost spiteful ways.
Social robins in the vines
Shout and call In festive mood;
Ruby kinglet in the spines,
CluclSing chipmunk in the wood
Alder berries red as blood
Clean above the darkling flood;
Drifting threads by spider spun
Glance and tremble in the sun.

STIRRING UP THE TIGERS
ThomasviIe and Quitman Are Honey
combed With Illicit Liquor Dealers.
Several Merchants Arrested.

brownsville, like Quitman and many
other prohibition towns, is sorely af-
ficted with blind tigers. To see how
thew have honey-combed the city, the
grand jury now in session there has
returned bills against eight mer-
chants who had been dispensing in
toxicants.
The people are not to blame alto
oether, for officers are elected to up
hold the law, aud vet the people of
brownsville are to blame. They
could have banded together and with
the superior court judge in their midst
have broken up these joints by raids;
But all waited for the grand jury, and
the grand jury has done its duty. The
citizens have been encouraged and
aroused, it seems. by the action OF the
grand jury, and have petitioned Judge
Mitchell TO impose fines of thousand
dollars upon those convicted of the
first Otfense and put those guilty OF
the second 0ffense on the gang.
No man, last of all merchants, Will
sell whiskey when he knows he Will
have to work on the gang if convicted.
They will quit the business when they
know they can no longer depend upon
the favor" and so-called mercy or
sympathy of the court and people.
