East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-01-31

A change in the basis of freight
rates on wood from Blue mountain
points to this city, has been made by
the .. r. & N. and while the COM
pany will realize full returns for the
service rendered. it is not thought
that the change will effect prices of
wood to the consumer.
The present wood rates were made
when the cars were small and no
change has ever before been made
in the basis of the rates, while the
size of cars has constantly increased.
The company fixed the rates sever
al years ago, as follows: All 34-foot
box cars, IL cords; S6-foot box cars
IA cords, and furniture cars and other
large, closed cars, IS cords, and fixed
the price at s1.2S per cord, from Blue
mountain points to this city.
No agent of the company could
charge more for cars of these desig-
mated capacities, although he knew
they carried more wood than desig-
mated in the rate sheet for cars of the
given sizes.
cars were widened and made higher,
it has been possible to ship as many
as IA cords in a car designed as an
11-cord car, and the shippers have
been securing free transportation on
a large amount of excess wood load
ed into new and larger cars, which
came under the old regulation.
This new basis of freight rates on
wood now specifies that agents shall
measure the actual load on every ear
and charge the shipper for the
amount of wood each ear contains,
without regard to its capacity.
II means simply that the company
wants pay for what wood it hauls.
The rate has not been raised, nor
changed in any way, but the COM
pany insists that shippers shall not
be donated any further car space. 1t
is change to meet the increased
capacity of the new rolling stock now
everywhere in use. 1t should not ef-
feet the price of wood to the consum-
er, as the actual rate is not changed
in any way. The new regulation
takes effect February 9.

Gone to Baker City.

George Tomson has gone to Baker
City and If events shape themselves
there as he wishes. will go into the
blacksmithing business. He conclud-
ed that the field is fully occupied here.
Mr.. Tomson came recently from Oma-
ha, where he was a railroad black
smith in the employ of the Union Pa
cific. 1t is probable that his brother
in-law. George Robinson, with whom
he has been visiting. will conclude
to locate. wherever he does. The lat
ter is a horseshoer, who came here
last spring from st. Louis for his
health, which is very much improved.
Since coming here he has worked
on ranches and in the sheep camps.

TEN ACRES OF GARDEN TRUCK
VIII BE Put in on the Cheney Place,
West of Pendleton

A. l.. Box has rented 10 acres of
the Cheney farm, west of town, and
will plant the entire acreage TO gar
den this spring. Every foot of the
ground is under water from the river
and being very rich soil. Mr.. Box ex-
poets to raise an immense amount of
produce thereon. The water is car
ried from the river in a box flume, the
hay of the ground being such that the
Eater is secured with the least pos
sIble outlay of expense.
Mr.. Box came 16 years ago from
Joplin, Mo-, and says he never ex-
poets to set eyes upon a land that
will suit him as well, let alone any
better. than Umatilla county, for the
very good reason that he is so well
satisfied here that he will not look
elsewhere in this world for anything
better.

PETITION TO DIVIDE No. 40.
District Has Seventy-five Resident
Pupils.

A petition has been filed with the
county superintendent for the divis-
ion of school district 40, which lies
east of Weston from six to eight
miles. The district as now constitut-
ed has about rs pupils, and the size
of the district has much to do with
the proposed division. If divided on
the line asked for by the petitioners
the two districts will be practically,
or at least approximately, of the same
size. The school house is now very
nearly in the center of the district;
If the district is divided 1t will be
found near the eastern boundary of
what would then be known as "the
old district" and the petitioners be-

train with a severe case of "quinine
jag" will resume his journey to the
valley probably by tonight's west

MINES AND MINING
Things Going on Under Ground Tn
 Various Localities.
cocHIsE COUNTY.

Work is to commence this week on the Cochise Development company's property in the vicinity of the big mines of Bisbee. The work will be con- tinued in the old shaft, which will be widened to a two accompaniment. The directors visited the mine Saturday and decided to the location of the engine and boilers and the necessary excavat- ing work to be done. Orders have been placed for a double hoisting en- zine, boilers, compressOrs and air drills, as well as all smaller equipment and mining timbers. At a directors meeting the past week C. L. Jones was elected managing director, and the plan of development to be executed outlined. Robert Ludwig was given the position of mine foreman.
 Miners and others arriving in Tomb stone from Gleason, in the north cen tral portion of the county, report min ing matters quiet in that camp and dis trict, and that the Copper Belle mine has but few men at work. The com pany is, however, getting ready to be- gin extensive operations, and is putting in additional machinery and making other improvements. A new blower for the shelter has arrived and is being put in place. The few miners that have been at work on the mine of late have been DlOCklDS out ore 10 De run through the smelter when it starts up again. The last run of the smelter was a most successful one. and a large amount of copper bullion was shipped to eastern markets.
 There is an increased growth of busi- ness in Tombstone. caused by the Con- solidated Mines company getting con trOl of and subduing the water in the lower workings of the mines. This inn prOvement in local trade and business affairs has been growing and develop ing to it's present proportions for some time past, but there will be a much lar ger showing for the spread of busi- ness and genuine prosperity later on.
 Next to the Consolidated company at Tombstone, the Luckswe and old Guard companies have the largest forces of men at work. These compa- nies, which are virtually one. are op- erating their different properties, the Lucksure. Old Guard and Harshall In the present operations the largest force is at work in the Old Guard mine, where development work is be- ing pushed, while at the same time con siderable ore is being taken out and shipped. At the Lucksure the work of sinking is to be cesumed, while at the present time some ore is being taken out and shipped. At the Hershal. sinking has commenced and the work of connecting 1t with the old Guard is now under way.

usual misfortune he would have been home long before this.
 The latest information concerning the search for him is a grewsome tale tnat was published in the Los Angeles Examiner, and which at least cannot be denied at this time whether 1t shall later be borne out by facts or not. The story is a telegram [. om Nogales. un- der date of the 14th, and runs as fol- lows:
 -Four human hands. nailed to a wooden stake. found driven into the ground near the ruins of a deserted camp, it is now feared may prove to be the last that will ever be found of the four young Arizonians Who passed through NOgaIes last June. with the in tention of exploring Tiburon island, in the gulf of California
 ''The grewsOme find was made by a Mexican cowboy who knew nothing at the time of the missing men. It was reported to E. P. GrindelI of Tucson at Hermosillo a few days ago, while he was there seeking information of the party.
 The missing men are T. F. Grindeu and OIlin Rolls, of Douglas; David In gram, of Bisbee. and Lieutenant Hon- man, who was an officer of ROOsevelt's Rough Rider regiment. T. F. Crfndeu was principal of the Douglas High school.
 'The men passed through Caborca, in the Altar district of Sonora. on June 9. and have not since been heard from. IL was their intention to visit the island and return to HermOsillo not later than August I5.
 After waiting a couple of weeks af- ter the date set for the return of the party to HermosilIo. E. P. GrindeH. of Tucson, brother of Prof. T. F.
