Low RATES BY TRUNK LINES.
One Fare Plus 81 to the Portland
Exposition.

Railroads embraced In the territory
west of Pittsburg and Buffalo to Chi
cago and st. Louis, comprised in the
Trunk Line Association, have grant,
ed the request for lower rates to the
Lewis and Clark exposition.
In joint letter submitted to the
association by general passenger
agents of the Pacific coast roads,
which was originated by A. L. Craig
general passenger agent of the o. r.
& N, the trunk lines were asked to
make rate of one fare plus 81, the
rates already made by western roads
This afternoon Mr.. Craig received a
telegram from Commissioner L. p.
Farmer, Of the association, stating
that the request had been granted for
the Lewis and Clark exposition and
all other Pacific coast occasions Of
the year, subject to approval of the
Central Passenger association.
The rate. in conjunction with the
rates already announced, will give
the most satisfactory rates that have
ever been granted to Pacific coast
territory from the Atlantic seaboard,
virtually insuring the holding of the
annual convention of the National
Association of Letter Carriers and
other large conventions that have
heretofore been uncertain.

Bourne Railroad Certain.

r.. L. Norton, who is now the con-
trolling spirit in the Golconda mine,
yesterday returned to Baker City on
his way west, and stated to the DEM
ocrat that he had been advised per-
sonally by C. ]. Johns chairman of
the committee, that the Sumpter bus
mess men and mining men had just
completed the raising of their $25,-
OO0 bonus, for the building of the
Bourne railroad. This amount is 10
per cent of the total cost of the road
which is contracted to be built by the
Killen- n-Warner-Stewart Co. Both the
towns of Sumpter and Bourne are
jubilant over the situation and it is
expected that actual work on the road
will begin in a few weeks.
A third survey of the line between
Sumpter and Bourne has been finish
ed and 1t takes up higher on the hills
than the other surveys and will prob
ably be the line adopted by the COM
pany. Everything in the upper camps
just now is a whoop hurrah for the
new railroad and the big strike in the
Greenhorn camp.-Baker City Demo-

The property on which the build
ing is to be erected is owned by

rumor for some time that building
would be erected there within the
next year. 1t was thought for while
that this city was not large enough to
warrant such a large building, but
capitalists believe there will be no
trouble in renting it. The eastern
capitalists who are to erect this mag
nificent building have had this corner
in sight for several years and intend
ed to build as soon as the city was
large enough to warrant the renting
of the structure.

 AIvsrado's soldierly instincts had caused him to halt where the road opened upon the sand. for he and De Tobar and the two oT three who kept near them could do nothing alone.
