Hartman is evidently not the only
man who is going to build new rail-
roads in Oregon in the near future.
within the past week a reconnoiter-
ing party which, it is thought, were
Northern Pacific engineers, has been
engaged In looking out q route across
the Blue mountains from Athena to
Summerville and Grand Ronde people
are elated with the promise of another
road into that valley.
Three men, whose names were not
learned visited Summerville Satur-
day, and after inqulring as to the
route of the old Hunt railroad sur
vey through Grand Roude valley,
drove toward Cove, along the old sur
vey and returned to Umatilla county
Sunday by way of the Woodward toll
gate.
From information CLEANED at Sum-
merville. the party was looking for n
route across the Blue mountains, and
it is said ON very good authority that
the intention of the Northern Pacific,
as made known to Grand Ronde peo-
pie, is to extend the w & c. r. from
Athena across the Blue mountains
into Grand Ronde, where the old
grade built for the Hunt road several
years ago would be utilized.
A subsidy of $50, 900 was once raised
for the Hunt road in Union county,
and while the project was finally
abandoned after some 90 miles of
grade had been built. the people of
that county have never given up the
hope of securing another line of road.
From the terminus of the w. & c.
r. at Athena across the mountains to
the Hunt grade at Summerville, is
but 40 miles. and IA feasible route can
be secured by way of the Woodward
tollgate.
Every mile of such a road would be
a paying investment from the day IT
was opened to traffic. owing to the
rich wheat land which it would pene-
trate on the west side of the noun
tains in Umatilla county, and the
enormous belt of pine timber which
would be tapped by it. in crossing the
mountains.
Last fall a preliminary survey was
made from Athena toward the Blue
mountains by w. & G. II. engineers.

BALDWIN POSSIBLY sUIcIDED.
AeronarF May Have Exploded Dyna'
mite to Take His Own Life.

A special from San Antonio. Texas,
to the Oregon Daily Journal gives
the following version of the tragic
death of Prof. Baldwin, the aeronaut
who was killed by an explosion of dy-
Mantle recently, while making an as
cent:
Professor John e. Baldwin, who
was killed by dynamite in a balloon
ascension at Greenville, o.. may have
committed suicide in this tragic man
per. according to his rormer associ-
ates and friends in this city.
Professor Baldwin was once a San
Antonio newsboy and was known as
"Will" everywhere. His brother,
Clarence Ivy, was found dead on We'd
nesday in a hut where he had been
living in poverty.
The news reached "Wilr' Ivy, or
Professor Baldwin, before he made
his ascension. There always was a
strong affection between the two
brothers and this leads Baldwin's
friends here to think that the two
deaths in such a brief space of time
was more than a mere coincidence.
Will Ivy left san Antonio in 1884.
He went to work for the Baldwin
Brothers. balloon makers and later,
when he went into the employ of the
government, he assumed the name of
Baldwin.

HOPPICKING BEGINS.
One Hundred Piclers Begin Work
Near Salem.

Near Salem.
The first picking of hops in this
section of the valley began yesterday
morning in the hop yard of Catlin &
Linn in Polk county, when about 100
pickers were put to work upon the
crop of early Fuggles, says the Salem
Statesman. The prospects for a good
yield, consderate with the general
conditions prevailing, are good; and
there is no question but that the quail
ity will be fully up to the high stand
ard predicted. Only one kiln was
picked yesterday and 1t could not be
learned how the hops were panning
out as to weight but, according to
the observations of some dealers, no
great surprise would be felt IL they
were not as heavy as in former years.
The weather continues ideal for the
maturing Of the hops throughout the
valley and the prospect was never bet
ter for an excellent quality of product
in every respect. with the possible ex-
ceptlon of color.

The United States Department of
Agriculture is making preparations

that are to serve as an object lesson
in scientific farming and demonstrate
proved methods. These demonstra-
ton farms will be selected in various
portions of the State in order thar all
sections may see the result of farm
ing operations. Persons whose farms
are selected will be expected to plant,
fertilize and cultivate according to the
directions ofthe Department of Agricul-
ture, and will be expected to keep a
record of the results. The govern
ment will, in some cases, furnish the
seed and will pay the planter for his
trouble for collecting data on the
growth OF crops. At the close of the
seasOn the farms will be opened to
inspection, and all planters interested
will be expected to see what can be
done by proper methods in farming.
In this way the farms will erve as a
demonstration. A number Of these
farms were selected by the United
States Department of Agriculture for
this season., and though the results,
under the Governments direction,

In Germany is exciting the entire country.
open the frontier to Russian pork is the
cry now being raised by all classes, but
above all by the laborers. whose staple ar
ticle of food Is pork. The price has al
ready risen more than forty per cent max
ing Its purchase by the poorer classes al
most impossible.
The man chiefly responsible for the ex-
listing prohibtive prices Is Herr Won Pod
bielski. the Prussian minister of agriculture.
He Is the most unpopular man In all Ger
many nowadays. He 1t was who proposed
that the frontier should remain closed to
foreign meats. though all of the other MEM
bers OF the Prussian cabinet favored changes
In this particular
Beef is today much higher in price owing
to last years drought. which caused re-
duction in the number of cattle. As meat
is so dear, consumers are naturally look
ing for some substitutes, such fish and
poultry. and the increased demand has
caused the price Of these commodities to
rise too. Even horse meat Is affected, and
Is now about penny a pound dearer.
Germany Is therefore practically facing
famine, though Herr Won Podbielski calls
1t merely a period Of high prices. The
probability Is that these high prices will
spread to other necessities. The shoe
makers. for example and other trades u.s.
high prices for leather resulting from the
scarcity OF hides. Indignation meetings
are being held over the whole of Germany
and are attended by all classes. Even the
