ROBBERY AT HAINEs.
Commercial Company's Store Burg
larized of Clothing and Shoes.

COmmerclal COmpanyS store Burg
larized of Clothing and Shoes.
Baker City, June 17.-(SpeciaD- y
One of the boldest robberies reported
in Haines for some time was commit
ted last night when thieves broke into
the store of the Haines Commercial
company and ransacked the building,
carrying away v it'll them over 500
worth of goods and merchandise.
The burglary was conducted, on
safe plans and no discovery was made
until this morning when the store was
opened for business. In their anxiety
to get away without attracting atten-
ton they passed up the cash register
which contained 800 in money and
never molested the safe which con-
tanned a large amount.
1t is believed here that the perpe-
traitors of the burglary are local
characters and the chief of police is
of the opinion that the robbers are in
Haines today. Entrance was gained
through back window. Large quan-
titles of clothing. shoes, knives and
otner merchandise was taken. The
officers believe that this stuff is
cached some place near Haines.
Notice OF the robbery has been sent
to the officers of La Grande and Ba-
ker City.

GOAL IN THE FOREST RESERVE.
On the Sumpter Valley Line, One Mile
From Upton.

Baker City, June 17-Like clap
of thunder out Of a clear sky came
the announcement yesterday that the
contractors grading the extension of
the Sumpter Valley railway south
from Upton had struck a blanket
vein of coal about one mile from
that point. The location of the coal
vein is In the forest reserve. Once
again the Sumpter Valley railway
comes to the front as the promoter
of the largest interests of this COM
munity.
Everybody knows that the question
of fuel is one of the living issues of
Baker City and Baker county today.
Ordinary cordwood costs delivered
81 to $3.50 a cord and coal is worth
delivered in Baker City, 81 to IS per
ton. 1t costs something to heat a
house or building during a Baker
City winter.
Anybody or any company, that can
find some way to reduce the fuel cost
in Baker City will render a public
service. It seems that the public work
of the Sumpter Valley railway has
solved the problem, If the find proves
what the first samples indicate.

Within the next two weeks strong
efforts will be made by the manage
ment of the Normal school at Weston
to secure the guarantee of sufficient
funds to maintain the school until
the next session of the legislature,
and those in charge are confident that
they will succeed.
A meeting of the board of regents
was held here last evening in the Of
fices of Carter, Raley & Raley, and
the following members were present:
r. Alexander, president; P. A. Worth
ington, secretary; ]. H. Raley, W. NJ.
Blakeley. G.. w. Proebstel and Jerry
Stone. Also, President French was
in attendance to advise with the re-
gents in the course to be pursued.
After discussing the outlook and
the prospect for continuing the school
President French, P. A. Worthington
and G. W. Proebstel were appointed
as a committee to solicit funds for
the school, and directed to report at
apother meeting to be held on June
80, at which time definite action re-
garding the future of the school win
be taken.
In speaking of the matter this
morning President French said he
had no doubt whatever but that suf-
ficient means can be secured to con-
tinue the school with its full faculty
during the next two years, or rather
until the next session of the legisla-
ture. A large proportion Of the
amount will be raised by the people
of Weston, and he stated that assur-
ances of support have also been made
by numerous people in other parts Of
the county.
According to President French
money will be solicited as a loan
rather than as a donation. for II Is
fully expected that the legislature
can be induced to reimburse sub
scribers for the amounts given, should
the school be maintained during the
interval. In fact the strength dis
played by the friends of the normal
schools at the last session is regarded
as almost positive guarantee that such
will be done.
AS to Just how much will be re-
quired to keep the school going until
an appropriation can be secured, Pres
ident French could not definitely say,
hut intimated that $4,000 would be
sufficient. 1t is the desire to run the
school with the entire faculty, and
thus avoid impairing the usefulness
of the school.

100 MILES OF
BLOCK SIGNALS
o. r. & n. WILL PUT IN
THE SYSTEM AT ONCE.
Miles VIII Be Instituted
Between Cayuse Station and La
Grande, Between Portland and
Bonneville, Thirty-Seven Miles -
First Step Towards Equipping the
Hartman Lines i'm the West, and
the Very First Upon Any Line in
the Northwestern States.

One hundred miles of block sig
nails will be built on the o. r. & N.
system this season, work to begin on
the Blue mountain portion of this
mileage at once.
For two days past a work train in
charge of Conductor Gentry and En-
gineer Curtis has been employed in
distributing material for the block
signal system from La Grande to
Cayuse, a distance of SO miles. Work
on this portion of the system will be-
gin right away and the remainder of
the 100 miles will be built between
Portland and Bonneville.
A contract is in force between a
company manufacturing these signals
and the Hartman lines by which 100
miles of signals will be built each
year until the entire system is COW
cred with 1t, wherever necessary. This
portion of the system has been Sc
lected for the installment to be built
in 1905, and a large crew of men
will be sent to La Grande at once.
The block signal system is a sys-
tenn of signals by which trains are
kept a certain distance apart, auto
matically. 1t consists of a series of
signal boards set in place beside the
track which indicate by automatic
mechanism, how long it has been
since a trian passed over the signal.
A train following can ascertain Just
when a previous train passed, by the
position of the signals, and conse-
quently can guard against a collision
on the mountain grades.
A train cannot cross the signal un-
til 10 minutes have elapsed since the
passing of former train and when
a signal shows that train has passed
within 10 minutes a following train
must stop and wait until 10 minutes
have elapsed. In this way two trains
are never found in the same block
at the same time.
The signals will be placed two miles
apart on the mountain, with double
signals at all stations, thus protecting
trains in station yards as well as on
the main line.
All the eastern roads are equipped
with this system of signals and it Is
a great advance step for the o. R. &
N to adopt them. No other road in
the Northwest uses the signals at this
time.
