CITY OFFICE BUILDINGS.

Controller Metzs proposition TO erect n mu-
nicipal Office building on the site Of the old Goth
Regiment Armory in Cooper Square, for the
Health, Tenement House, Buildings and Cor
rections departments and the Board of Elec-
ton is in one respect fundamentally right. He
plans to deal with the problem of housing the
city employees as a private corporation would
do, by erecting a sensible creditabe and en-
du but straightforward office building. in

to build municipal monuments and spend large
sums of money on structures which will beft

or even a hall of records occupying, as ours
does, site of great prominence, where it forms
a unit in a cluster of impressive civic buildings,
may appropriately be adorned with costly mar

thousands of clerks perform in private count
ing houses and it could he transacted in per-

is so transacted, for the city departments
scattered about in rented quarters all over
town, and enormous rentals are paid which

for that purpose and there is no good reason
why a ten story freproOf office building Of mod

at a cost not materially greater to the city than
to a private corporation. Such building, while
avoiding all eXtrava gances. could in the hands
Of a good architect be entirely Creditable to the
city and furnish offices of sufficient dignity
while they would probably be much better
adapted to practical requirements than the
rooms in monumental structures, where utility
is often sacrificed TO appearance.
We do not say that the armory site is an ideal
or even Il good one for such a structure. On
the contrary We think there are some strong
objections to it. But the type of building pro
posed by the Controller is suited to the munich
pal purposes which he wants to serve. 1t must
be remembered. however that economy is easy
on paper. Mr. Metz believes that a satisfactory
modern Office building could be erected for
81 100000. which would house departments now
costing the city more than $4,000 a year

we'll worthy Of consideration. But can the Con

BUILD DOWN SNAKE.
ACTUAL WORK BEGINS
ON IRON DYKE RAILROAD
Northwestern Railroad Company Files
Articles OF Incorporation i'm Baker
City-Capital Stock Is $1,000, 900
Work Of Surveying the line Has
Actually Begun-Orcgon Short Idne
Is Back OF the Project.

The Baker City Herald gives the
following account of the beginning OF
the actual construction Of the rail-.
way from Huntington to the Iron
Dyke mines:
The first actual steps toward the
construction OF the railroad down the
Snake river to the Iron Dyke mines
were taken this morning when the
articles of incorporation of the North
western Railroad company we're filed
with the county clerk of Baker coun-
ty, says the Herald.
The incorporators are Farley L.
Williams, George F. Egan and Fred
erick ID. Hall. The capital stock is
S1,000,000 with shares OF par value Of
800 each. The principal place of
business is given as Huntington. The
object OF the company as stated in
the articles IL to operate, construct
and equip a line of railroad, telephone
or telegraph from point on the Ore
gon Short Line between Huntington
or at a place called Eagle. extending
thence northerly along the Snake river
to Lewiston or a point in that vicin-
ity, distance of about $50 miles.
As the Herald stated about a week
ago the Oregon Short Line Is back Of
this road. Mr.. Eagan, one of the in
corporators. is agent for the o. r. &
n. at Huntington, Mr.. Hall is local
o. II. & n. employe and Farley Will
lams Is general attorney for the Short
Line at Salt Lake.
Mr.. Williams is now In Huntington
collecting surveyors to go over the
route. Grading crews are being col
lected at Huntington preparatory to
going to work. Above the Iron Dyke
three camps have been pitched and
the actual work of grading is now 60
ing on. p. Stradley, locating engineer
for the Short Line, is in Huntington
today with crew of surveyors and
will take up the work Of surveying the
route Immediately.
The Oregon Lime & Plaster COM
pany is to build tram from the plant
TO the line of the road cutting off the
eight mile haul they now make. Cen
eral Beebee, general manager, is In
Huntington today and Is going down
the Snake right away to arrange for
the tram.
The Ladds Metal company has men
in Huntington and are going to start
UP a plant at Mineral, Idaho, imme-
diately.\ This includes a smelter.

gon, and this, together with the low
rates from the east by the Union Pa
cific railroad, has done much towards
settling the state, the newcomers be-
Ing largely responsible for the neces-
sity of our new lines to open up the
undeveloped districts. Hundreds of
thousands of books, booklets, folders
and maps, containing carefully pre-
pared facts and figures are sent to the
east and middle west every year.
Thousands read them and thousands
come. Largely as a result of Of our
advertising prior to and during the
Lewis and Clark exposition, there
came into Portland over the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation company, be-
tween June ] and October Is, 1905,
the following passengers: From Or
egon, Washington and Idaho, S3,654:
from Montana, Dakota, Wyoming, Col
orado, New Mexico and Arizona, H.
1O1; from Missouri river points, 49,
S56, making total of 1851.
And the best part of the story is the
fact that the visitors found conditions
In Oregon much better than had been
pictured, and at once fell in love with
the country, those who did not remain
carrying home with them the story
of our delightful section. They dis
covered that Oregon has for citizens
the best class of settlers from the
Oldest sections of the east and middle
west. the foreign immigration of the
highest standard, the percentage Of
those who usually contribute to the
agricultural development of COM
paratively new region being relative
ly large; the educational and church
advantages equal to those found any,
where; the climate most delightful.
the opportunities the best in the land,
and the natural scenery unsurpassed,
the majestic and matehless Columbia
flowing through the very heart of the
Pacific northwest.
With these thousands and thousands
of walking advertisements for our
city and state. with the wonderful rail-
road development being carried on,
and with a most promising year at
hand, great is the story soon to be
written.

poration the Northwestern railroad
down the Snake river will be partly
on the Oregon and partly on the Idaho
side of the river. From the best in
formation obtainable today the line
will be constructed to the Iron Dyke
mines for the present, but eventually
will be extended to Lewiston. Frank
Pierce of the Iron Dyke mines is in
Baker today and says that the road
will be constructed as rapidly as pos
sible.
The construction of this road down
the Snake has long been the dream
of the owners of the mines in the
Seven Devils and Iron Dyke districts.
It will tap one Of the most extensive
mining regions on the Snake river.
Also the assurance is given out to-
day that the construction of the road
down the Snake will not be in any way
affect the construction of the Eagle
Valley line from Baker. The latter
line taps an entirely different section
of the country and can be built much
quicker than the Snake road.
The Snake river road is being built
by the Oregon Short Line under con
tract for the Iron Dyke Mines COM
pany. The Iron Dyke people let the
contract to the Short Line. The grad
ers have been working between Lew
iston and the mouth of the Powder
river. The surveyors will go down the
Snake river from Huntington in
barges. Their work will be to reduce
the grades and curves on the old sur
vey.

The expenditure of the Oregon Rail-
road & Navigation company amounted
to $1,141,S22; new shops at Albina,
$32s,043; II new depots, 1882, 900; re-
laying track with new rails, $41,779;
block signal system, $94 800; new roll
ing stock, s495,70O; wood preserving
plant at Wyeth, s69,410.
This year the Oregon Railroad G.
Navigation company has planned to
$4,000 for fills to replace bridges,
s525,0O for new equipment, and
$55O,000 for rebuilding track with
heavy steel, making a total expendi-
ture of s1,546,S57.
On the main line of the Southern
Pacific from Saginaw to Portland,
$1,129,000 will be expended in re-
building the track with heavy steel
rails. The new steel bridges will cost
$4,000 and the fills to replace
bridges, $4,000.
The 20 large locomotives and 500
freight cars ordered represent an ex-
penditure OF $2,401,500. The sum Of
s150.000 has been set aside to equip
all locomotives on the Oregon Rail-
road G. Navigation company west of
Umatilla, and on the Southern Pacific,
north of Ashland. with oil burners
and to install tanks.
At the present time we are main

the above will be made before the
close of the year. With a line COM

Scientists VIII Scale Highest Peak on
the Continent.

In a determined attempt to scale
DIR. F. Cook, explorer and scientist,
arrived in Seattle today with a party
of II on his way to Nome to the
highest mountain of the North Ameri-
can continent, says Seattle dis
patch.
They will leave on the steamship
Santa Ana on May IS. Profiting by
a partial failure in a similar attempt
three years ago, DR.. Cook plans to go
earlier than when, in 1908, he was
forced to abandon his effort to climb
the glaciers and rocks of the snow
covered peak.
In the former attempt the ascent
was made from the northwest side,
but the summit was not reached.
This year the ascent will be made on
the southeast side.
The party will divide, pack train
of 25 horses going to the headquar-
ters of the Kechatna river, then turn
ing east and descending the range to
the Chulita glacier. At the foot of
the moraine on the Chulita the pack
outfit will be met by the boat. Most
Of the supplies will be taken In by
boat. From the foot of the hills the
supplies will be packed to the noun
tain, 35 miles.
The party left New York last Mon
day. 1t includes photographers, bot
anists, geologists and experienced
mountain climbers. They are at
tempting difficult feat, for there has
never been found a way to scale

Earnings.

The report OF the superintendent
has this to say regarding details of
work and prospects and conditions in
the territory tributary to the road:
1.-THE canal contractors, Messrs.
Smyth and Jones, on account of high
water have been compelled to discon-
tinue work on all except the lower
rock cut. the water coming over the
cement wall. They have some 40 or
so men still taking out rock from the
fill and are dumping it into a fill at
the lower end of the ship basin.
1.-THE north bank contractors in this
vicinity are doing a considerable
amount of work on grades and fills.
Two steam shovels are working night
and day shifts. They are also expect
ing two more steam shovels shortly
and will put night and day crews on
these also. They are able to send
train Of eight carloads out every five
minutes to be dumped on the fill. This
is very quick way of handling dirt.
at is my understanding that the
new Open River Transportation boat
will be started shortly at Cello and
will be ready for hauling the grain
this fall. She will be built for these
waters and can no doubt make a bet
ter showing than the other boats that
are not adapted to the shallow water
in the fall of the year during the time
grain is moving.
IT have advice that Mr.. Donald will
be up in the first part of the coming
week to prepare and make survey
of the extension of the road into The
Dalles. If we can get the road ex-
tended into The Dalles 1t should be
self-supporting as such freight as
lumber and wool could be scowed up
to that point and loaded onto the cars
direct, then there would be no ques-
tion of prompt handling of freight
from Portland and The Dalles to up
river points
"William Nelson, the railroad con-
tractor. will start camps at the
mouth of the Des Chutes river the
coming week and has other camps
established further up. I understand
this road is intended to reach southern
and central Oregon and will Nbe an
grain and all kinds of farm products.
It is possible we can make connection
with them, they being but three and
one-half miles above us. II such a
connection Is arranged this road
should be extended to The Dalles in
order that we can handle the increas-
ed amount Of business, our facilities
at Big Eddy being inadequate for any
great extent of tonnage.
