i. L. Lyons, the commercial tourist,
Is doing the town again.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-07-18

He said he had rode from st. Louis
to Pendleton on brake beams and on
top Of passenger coaches, and he
looked it.
He declared he had beat his way to
every exposition held in the United
States of late years, including the
Worlds fair at Chicago. the Charles
ton. Buffalo. Omaha, and the st.
Louis eXpositions, and the Mid-Winter
fair at San Francisco, and he is nov
on his way, as a dead-beat, - Port
land where he expects to see the
Lewis and Clark fair on "jawhone, q"
as Il would be called.
His name is just olain James Cook
and he arrived in Pend eton last night
on No. 5. As it was getting pretty
cold on top of a passenger coach
about 8 o'clock in the morning when
the train reached here, he decided to
get off and lay over for y day and
thaw out and wash up and get a
square meal.
mo, I never pay for anything" he
said. at is against my principles to
pay I have rode free to five of the
big expositions and am now within
days travel of the sixth one. at
Portland, and tonight or tomorrow
night will take a berth on top of a
coach and enjoy the beautiful ride
from here to Portland.
"You see I have fad for seeing
expositions. When the Chicago fair
opened I was working in New Orleans
and 1 decided to see the fair. As
did not have cent to start on 1t was
necessary to go fifth class, or on top
of the coaches. I scorn to ride on SLOW
freight trains. That would require too
much time. You see, man can al
ford to miss one passenger train, Tor
If he catches the next one he Will
then pass all the freight trains and so
7 Law over and rest II cannot catch
a passenger train.
"I started from St. Louis on July
and have missed but two trains
one pulled out and left me in Chey-
enne, while I was rustling breakfast
and I spent one day in Huntington
against my will. So you see it is no;
necessary to miss connections al
though riding fifth class or on top OF
the cars.
when I reach Portland l will wash
up and get job for few days unt
I get enough money to put me through
the exposition and 1 will then have
nothing to do but wait for another eX'
| position to be held, when 1 will pea
nv way to it, wherever it is held.

nax+ preat exposition should be helc

He was a man about 30 years o.
age. a harness maker by trade, witt
an intelligent face and determined
set to his jaw He was fairly wei
educated and had been reared in
good home, but had been seized will
the hobo mania and for the past II
wears has done nothing but bea
trains and bum grub all over the Unit
ed States.
While waiting for chance to rid
out of Pendleton he came into TN
East Oregonian office to beg an arm
full of old papers to read, and told nj
little story of adventure. Whethe
true or not 1t reads like romano
and the man is but one of thousand
of such adventurers now roaming TN
country.
He rode out of town last night oi
the westbound train, in spite or IN
vigilance of trainmen. Long pracuc
in eluding officials and trainmen hav
given him an animal instinct and Gun
ming which would be fortune TO

WORK ON o. r. & n. TUNNEL.
Timberlng is Being Carried on and the

The difficulties besetting the work
on the o. r. & n. tunnel at Meacham
have been overcome and it is now GER
tain that the tunnel will be made per-
manent. 1t was thought for a time
that owing to the moist nature of the
soil in the mountain that the tunnel
would have to be cut away and a
straight cut made through the point
of rock at that place as the noun
tain continued to slide down and i'm
pede the work.
Timbering Is now being carried on
and the tunnel will remain, the noun
tain having ceased to slide. Over so
men are at work on the tunnel and
the work will be completed in about
two months more. 1t will be two feet
wider and four feet higher than 1t
was when this improvement Is com
pleted. 1t will then be wide and high
enough to admit of the passage of any
coach or engine now in existence and
will not need overhauling again for
wears.

merchantman will be very welcome
event there, as well as to the city gem
orally. In about 4 year, possibly in
less time, the battleship will be COM
pleted and it is very important to the
continuation of work in the shops that
some large construction contracts be
secured to take its place.
The new merchantmen will be 400
feet in length, longer by 60 feet than
the largest vessel now in the compa-
ny's fleet. The largest vessels now
owned and operated by the company
are the steamships Queen and City of
Puebla, both on the Seattle-San Fran
cisco run.
The new steamship, when it is COM
pleted, will probably be placed on that
run, enabling the company to increase
the service, and its construction will
be followed in due time by the con-
struction of additional vessels of sim
| liar size and character until the whole
I line between the two cities consists OF
| larger ships.

YELLOW PINE PAPER.
New Industry Starting in the South
This Season.

New Industry Starting in the South
This Season.
Mention has been made in these COL
umns within the last year or two of
the attempt made in the South to
utilize yellow pine in the manufacture
of paper, says the New York Tribune
Farmer. According to "The Paper
MILL" there is factory now in opera
tion for that purpose at Orange. Tex
as. The establishment Is turning out
wrapping paper, and the raw material
is sawdust, chips and other refuse,
not the good, clear timber, which is
available for commerce.
The company which is running this
mill started out with a small expert
mental plant several months ago.
Having satisfied themselves that the
business would yield a profit, they en-
listed more capital. engaged the serv-
ices of experts in mill building, and
proceeded to erect a plant of reason
able size, and to equip 1t with the
best of machinery and appliances.
AS yet the industry cannot be said
to have emerged from the expert
mental stage, but IL the yellow pine
paper mill proves to be as successful
as it is now anticipated it will be
| there will be more of such mills built
| in Texas in the near future. The yel-
| low pine lumber industry in the
| Southwest is a big one, and the mer
in 1t have plenty of money with which
to engage in any industry closely al
lied to their own which promises {
good return and especially If 1t car
make use of the waste of their owr
enterprises.

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
For Production of Ramona

Next to "Uncle Toms Cabin" there is
probably no story of American I1e
written for the purpose of calling at
tention to a condition of people tnat
needed uplifting that has had such
remarkable and steady sale for years
as has Helen Hunt Jackson's dramatic
story of Indian life, Ramona" A re-
markable example of this was shown
last week in San Francisco when there
wasn't to be had a single copy of the
book, so great had been the demand
in the last few months. If Mrs. jack
son were alive today she would be de-
lighted with the sincere and dignified
treatment her story will receive to-
night at the Mason opera house by
Virginia Calhoun and her specially Sc
lected company. The past rehearsals
were held Saturday night and every
thing gave promise of a brilliant per
formance tonight. The house is almost
sold out, a great rush of outside or
ders having been received from the
surrounding towns late Saturday af-
ternoon.
