hotel, where consultation was held
regarding details.

eG at the station. Those who met the

Robert E. Lee.
No official action by the war depart

cision to have the burial at Richmond.
However, it was stated by army Off
GERS tonight that a detachment of
troops would undoubtedly be detailed
as an escort for the remains to the sta
ton on their departure from this city.
Mayor Mccarthy received message
from Richmond tonight stating that
the city council had taken official ac-
ton in resolutions asking that the bur-
ial be in Richmond, and rendering the
city hall in substitute for the disman-
tied capitol building as a place i'll
which the remains may lie in state
The mayor will wire the decision reach
ed here so that funeral arrangements
may be perfected there by the coun
Gil.
The remains of General Lee will
be taken to Richmond on a special
train leaving Washington at 1 O'Clock
Monday afternoon, and reaching
Richmond at o'clock An escort of
cavalry, infantry and artillery will be
provided here, and a small detail of
troops will accompany the remains to
Richmond. At the latter place the
military features will be supplied by
the state militia.
1t was the first plan to take the
body to Richmond Sunday This was
abandoned to permit military honors
to be shown the distinguished officer,
it being impossible to issue and carry
out the necessarg orders for an escort
before Monday. The interment will
be made in Hollywood Cemetery.

Because the Lewis and Clark fair
is drawing to close is no reason
for the o. r. & n. company to stop
advertising Oregon, Washington and

at which this company has been ad-
vertising the northwest in the past
two years. it will make greater efforts
than ever to thoroughly exploit the
resources of this region, in the east
And the methods to be employed

company year ago. The book was
short interviews from farmers, edited
and classified by Mr.. Hall and sent i'm
large numbers to the far east.
These talks, giving as they did, the
name and address of the farmers
We're indisputable evidence of the
richness of this country, and brought
more results than any piece of adver-
tising matter ever sent out from the

About two dozen Umatilla county

photographs printed in the booklet
These farmers have received dozens
of letters of inquiry from anxious
homeseekers in all parts of the coun-

HENEY FOR GOVERNOR.
California Democrats May Nominate
the Famous Prosecutor.

Democrats of California are plan
ming to nominate Francis j. Heney for
governor" said 4. :. Crowder of Red
Bluff. California, at the Hotel Port
land yesterday. 10 the Oregon Daily
Journal Mr.. Crowder served several
terms in the California legislature and
is one of the best known republican
politicians in the state. He is here
visiting the fair.
IF Mr.. Heney decides to accept.
there is no doubt that he will be
chosen to lead the democratic hosts"
continued Mr.. Crowder. And It is
probable that he would be elected. for
the reform wave that is sweeping the
country has struck the golden west
and Mr.. Heney is the most conspicu-
Gus Of cur reformers His fearless
and able prosecutions of the land
fraud cases have given him a national
reputation as a graft fighter, and that
is what the people want at present.
He belongs to the Roosevelt Folk
Denecn type of leader.
California is proud of Mr.. Hency
and he could get almost anything that
he wanted. II is generally conceded
that he is the sblest prosecutor that
the state has produced. and it is
thought that at the conclusion of the
land fraud trials he will be called up
ON by President Roosevelt for still
more important work than he has yet
undertaken. Politics cut little figure
with men of Mr.. Heney's stamp"

Internal temperature would reach ~
degrees in a tunnel pierced at the level
of Brieg and advised that the noun
tain be pierced at level of 500 meters
higher. As a matter of fact, the tenn
perature in the Simplon tunnel for a
length of about two .kilometers in the
middle of the rocks remains at 80 de-

The actual temperature of the IN

Manitoba and British Columbia has
now been given a changed status, and
there have emerged from the tempor-
ary districts known as the Northwest
Territories the two new provinces of
Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Each is of colossal dimensions. and
will become an important and notable
self-governing commonwealth of Eng
lish-speaking men. Already Manitoba
with its thriving capital of Winnipeg,
has reached the stage where it has be-
come one of the well-favored portions
Of the earth. Alberta and Saskatche-
wan are of much greater area than
Manitoba. and will probably in the
near future outstrip the older prov
iuce in population and wealth.
Winnipeg has become a city Of col
leges and universities as well as of
large financial and commercial inter-
ests The thriving towns of the new
provinces will have a like development
and with Vancouver and Victoria on
the Pacific coast the dominion will i'm
due time have a series of flourishing
cities i'm its western half that will
equal Montreal, Toronto, ottawa, Que
bee. Halifax and the citiese of the
older provinces.
The Grand Trunk Pacific has broken
ground. and will help greatly to de-
velop the wheat lands Of these new
provinces. while the Canadian Pacific
is pushing its system of branch lines
and other railray interests are pen
etrating what is within a few years tC
be by far the greatest wheat country
in the world. 1t is to our own people
pressing into this new country witt
their skill, energy. and capital, tha
great part Of this development viii
be due.
The real prosperity Of our owr
northwest requires such freedom o
relationship with the Canadian north
west that traffic may follow its natur
al lines. At present our northwes
is doing well, but its future is to b'
greatly affected by these questions o
policy and international relationship
