 Judge J. B. Gaston. presiding over the Probate Court of MontEomery County yesterday sustained the de- murrers of the Traction Company to the plea of abatement of the Amuse- . ment Company.
 It will be remembered that the Traction Company, several days ago, petitioned the Probate Court to con demn certain lands lying between Cap itol Heights and Electric Park owned by the Montgomery Amusement Com pany and Mrs. Amelia Wilkie in order that the Traction Company might ex- tend It's lines out Madison Avenue to Capitol Heights. thence to a point on the north side of the Electric Park lake.
 The Montgomery Amusement Com pany and Mrs. Wilkie entered pleas of abatement to the petition of condem- nation on the ground that the Trac- tion Company had been illegally or ganized and that President Apperson Of that company was acting without authority.
 This plea was overruled by Judge Gaston when he sustained the demur- rers of the Traction Company.

Lumber and Mills Burn.

Fire broke out in the planning mills
of the White Pine Lumber company at
Priest River. Idaho, at noon today,
destroying the entire plant, with s.
100000 feet of lumber, II box cars on
the Great Northern railway tracks,
together with about 25 residences,
comprising the northern portion and
half the town.
A stiff southwest wind was blowing
when the fire broke out and all efforts
to check the flames proved futile. A
special train comprising 800 men was
dispatched from Bonner's Ferry and
intermediate points, and large squad
was sent over from this city, but they
arrived too late to save the residence

GUESSES TOO LOW
HELIX FIELDS YIELD
MORE THAN ESTIMATES
Farmers Compelled TO Make Second
Order OF Sacks in Many Instances
to Take Care of Surprising Yields
Wheat That Was Estimated at 2s
and 80 Has Yielded S5 to 81 Bushels.

Perhaps the most pleasant surprise
that has come to anybody in Oregon
this year has just come to farmers In
the Helix district. Harry T. Booth,
agent for the Pacific Mutual Life In
surance company, who has just re-
turned from an extended visit through
the Helix wheat belt, found dozens of
farmers who had expected but 2S to
30 bushels of wheat per acre, who ac-
tually threshed from 35 to 81 bushels
from their spring sowing. Many OF
them were compelled to order more
stacks after threshing was begun. in
order to take care of their increased
YIELD
This condition is general over that
district. In numerous instances the
yield had exceeded the estimates made
by the farmers all the way from five
to 10 bushels per acre. 1t is a pc
culiar experience and one not wit
messed perhaps, in any other county
in the Inland empire this year.
As it always is the tendency to over
estimate a crop yield, the surprise
that comes to these farmers where
they have actually underestimated
their yield may be imagined.

The prisoners who succeeded in
getting away consisted of five colored
men and one white. The men were
in the corridor at the time Jailor Dav-

a moments warning they pounced
upon him, beat him upon the head,
threw him into a cell and locked him
in. The rest was easy They walked
out apparently boarded a freight train
and got out of town. The first known
of the Jail break was an alarm raised
by lady residing near the Jail who
heard shot fired by the jailor to at

ed to the city Sunday.
Mr.. Bridgefarmer states that Oregon
is q nice country, but it cannot COM

While in Portland he had a CONVEX
sation with a prominent railroad en-
gineer who had located the railroad to
Huntington down the Weiser river to
the Snake and from there to the OK
bow.
The engineer stated to Mr.. Bridge
farmer that a road is going to be built
Immediately to Charleston on the above
mentioned route, and that the Mis-
soula cutoff would be built as soon as
possible. He stated that the road
would be built as soon as possible. He
stated that the road would be built
down to Wallula and from there to
Astoria. A bridge will be built across
the river at Wallula. The engineer
stated that the greatest obstacle In
building line down the Snake river
to Charleston would be a half mile
tunnel, otherwise the road would be
practically easy to build. The en-
gineer also stated that the company is
working very hard to secure their
rights of way and terminals, and as
soon as this is done they will COM
mence work, which will undoubtedly
be in the spring.-Lewiston Tribune.
