IMMENSE POWER PROJECT.
Grande Ronde Company VIII Build
$4,000 Foot Tunnel.

7. r. Berry, locating engineer for
the Grande Ronde Water company,
arrived here yesterday and will make
his future headquarters here in the
office of President ]. K. Romig. The
Grand Ronde Water company is
working out one of the greatest prob
lens Of irrigation and hydro-electric
power yet undertaken in eastern Or
egon, says the Baker City Democrat.
The company has made an import
ant change in its plans and will now
throw the water of Minam river from
the headworks to east of Cove 1914
miles through the mountains by a
24,O0O-foot tunnel, thus cutting out
40 miles of canal as the original plans
called for. The plant is designed to
furnish water for irrigation and power
wherever there is market in the
Grande Ronde valley.
The city of La Grande will now be
able to get as good and pure water
as has Baker City or Portland. 1t
will come direct from the snow-fed
creeks of the Eagle mountains. There
will be unlimited power for every
kind of enterprise. 1t is hoped to
complete construction work next sea-
son.

ed from the Denver & Rio Grande
because no person will pay the local
rate on freight west and north of Og-
den, the terminus of the Rio Grande.
The agencies of the doomed lines
at Butte and Portland are closed. The
closing of the ogden gateway means
that the Rio Grande will be shut out
of Cache Valley, Brigham City, Poca-
tello and all other points north and
west of Ogden. Naturally, merchants
will not ship their goods from the
east of the Rio Grande and then pay
the local rate on from ogden in ad-
dition. In consequence all the busi-
ness will go to the Hartman lines,
until the Western Pacific and Goulds'
projected line to Idaho and Portland
are built. Then there will be another
merry scramble.

OGDEN GATEWAY CLOSED.
Union Pacific Gets the Long Haul &c

Ogden, Utah, Oct. 2O.-Though the
Ogden Gate has for long time stood
ajar, the inevitable has happened and
it will now be closed, and the Rio
Grande, and Gould lines, will be shut
out of Idaho and Montana absolutely
by the Oregon Short Line. When the
announcement was recently made
that the Denver & Rio Grande would
not be represented in the new Idaho
and Montana tariff sheets that are is
sued by the Hartman lines, it plainly
meant the closing of the Ogden gate
way; consequently the Union Pacific
will get the long haul from Denver to
the northwest.
All connecting lines at Denver have
taken advantage of the new tariff,
consequently all freight will be direct

SHAKES THEM Ut
GOVERNOR NAMES w. III. cRusrus
TO SUCCEED MR.. BARNETT.
w. @. jackson Resigns, and Thomas
It. Taylor Is suspended.--No
Whiskey Drinker Need
Apply.

Following the discharge of Joel Bar
nett, Waterman at the State Capltol on
Friday, the following announcements
were made from the Governors ONCE
yesterday:
w. c. jackson of Pike County. night
Waterman for more than six years. has
resigned.
Thomas Taylor of Montgomery, night
Waterman, has been suspended indefi-
niteiy.
William H. Crusius of Montgomery.
has been appointed Waterman at the
Capitol
accompanying these announcements,
the Governor gave out the following
statement:
II have had enough of whiskey. II
searn that any Waterman over the
State Treasury takes one drink on duty,
or on duty. will insist on his resig-
nation. During the three months am
to hold ONCE. I will tolerate the con-
sumption of no whiskey on the part OF
guardians OF the State Treasury"
The inference generally drawn at the
Capitol from the statement of the Gov
ernor, following on the discharge of
Waterman Barnett, Is that a new and
more rigid order of discipline is ia be
put into effect at the Capitol. Hereto
fore. 1t Is understood. strict rod has
not been held over the head of watch
men, Notwithstanding that under their
charge rests hundreds of thousands OF
dollars of the States money The Bar
nett affair, however which revealed
laxity on the part of watchmen In the
discharge of their dMties was the cause
which has resulted in the clearing up
OF this department of employees at the
State House.
1t will be remembered that the cause
which led up to the discharge of
Waterman Barnett was his absence
from the Capitol when he was supposed
to be on guard in place of Waterman
Thomas Taylor, when that officer was
absent. Governor Jelks, last Thursday
evening. called up the Capitol by tele-
phone, and was unable TO secure a re-
Spouse. Investigation revealed the fact
the following morning, that for several
hours there was no Waterman on guard
at the Capitol. and the building and Of
fee OF the State Treasurer were COM
pietely without protection.
1t is understood that the suspension
of Waterman Taylor is the result OF
his absence from duty without having
secured the necessary permission.
The newly appointed Waterman, w.
II. Crusius, has been connected with
The Advertiser for more than forty
years. having, for many years of that
time served as foreman OF the eompos-
ing room. During the last few years
he has been connected with the paper
I'm the capacity of proof reader. He Is
a Confederate veteran with good war
record. having served during the war
between the States in an Alabama reg
iment. He will assums the duties of
his Office at once.
There are four watchmen at the Cap
itol The places pay SOS a month each.
The law requires the Governor to APP
point none but Confederate veterans
to these places.
