Bridge Commissioners Steve nson and Cor
poration Counsel Delany restraining them
from opening the bids recently advertised
for, for the building OF the steel super
structure Of the Manhattan bridge. The
injunction was issu cd by Justice Garrett
son, sitting in Mineola, and was applied
for by Henry T. Chapman, q taxpayer.
For whom Mr., Chapman vas acting did not
appear. The order Is returnable next
Saturday. Another temporary injunction
which was served on Commissioner Steven
son restrained him from awarding any
contract until bids for eye bar cables have
been invited. This order ID returnable
on May 2.
As soon as tho orders were served upon
Mr.. Stevenson he went to Mineola, with
Assistant Corporation Counsel Burr, and
pointed out TO Justice Garrettson that the
order preventing the opening Of bids would
virtually mean that the bids would have
another long delay, ,%Thereupon Justice
Garrettson amended his order 30 as to
permit Mr.. Stevenson to receive the bids
and to hold them until permission 10 open
them is granted by the court.

SUMPTER, Ore, June 26.-The wife
of prominent business man received a
letter recently in which it was stated
that the writer had kodak photo of
this lady's daughter-a child not yet in
her teens--that would not bear publicity,
and unless the lady left the sum of
$3.50 in an old shack in the suburbs at
the south end of town these photos
would be sent to every person in the
city. The writer promised that if the
demand was complied with the plate Of
the picture would be sent to the lady
and she could destroy it. The family to

lady took an envelope apparently
stuffed with money and left it at the

Oregon Trunk Line Railroad Commences
Construction Work.

THE DALLES,, Ore, June 26.-Actual
construction work on the Oregon Trunk
Line Railroad was begun this week,
when force of 30 men and IL teams
was put to work at the mouth OF
Deschutes River grading. The force will
be increased gradually, the company
having planned to complete the road
from the mouth of Deschutes to Madras
in two years. The present survey that
has been completed reaches from the
Columbia to Madras, q distance OF 100
miles following up the Deschutes River
the greater portion Of the way, and is
comparatively a water-le level grade. Chief
Engineer Gordon says that grade is but
little greater than that of the north bank
road from Vancouver to Kenewick, and
also that the curves are not nearly 80
severe as would be expected, since the
Deschutes River is very crooked
stream.

Robert l.. Stevens falling one behind.
BY 2 o'clock this afternoon, after several
changes, the contestants we're tied for the
lead, with 33 precincts yet to be counted.
Word and Stevens will long remember
Precinct No. "a, since it was revolutions
airy in the recount and proved more spec
tacular than all the preceding 50 pre-.
cincts combined. 1t was this precinct
which gave word the first lead over
Stevens he has had since the recount was
commenced last week. So exciting was
the result that the Word men felt like
investing their loose change in fireworks
while tht Stevens people were inclined to
order a complete mourning outfit. The
race il too close for comfort and the
strain extends not alone to the men
involved but embraces the crowd in

Western Congressman Fight Hard

TO LOCATE ARTESIAN WELLS
Important Explorations Will Be Con-
Quoted This Year In Central Ore
gon For Artesian Water-Ful-
ton Urging the Work.

Historian NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, D. c., June 26.-ln the fight over
the Sundry Civil BILL carrying an ap,
preparation of more than one and a
quarter million dollars for the Geological
Survey, $25,000,00O for the Panama canal,
and other items aggregating more than
Sl00,000000, sharp lines were drawn be-
tween eastern and western interests of
the country over the first named. The
new work of the Geological Survey is
largely in the West now. For two gene.
rations it has been largely in the East.
The fuel testing, experiments to deter.
mine if iron ore could be found on the
Pacific Coast; measurement of streams
for reclamation or power purposes; sur
yey of forest reserves, and mineral re-
searches in general, were nearly entirely
eliminated by eastern congressman while
the bill was in the House. This year
will see the close of the exhaustive fuel
tests conducted in Pennsylvania and
West Virginia, and the work was just
being extended to the extensive Ignite
and bituminous fields beyond the Mis-
sissippi.
When this spirit to trim the Geological
Survey was manifested, the Western
strength of Congress Immediately rallied.
1t was overwhelmed in the House, but
when the bill came to the Senate, all of
the recommendations of the Survey were
inserted again, and the Senate declared
its purpose of standing by this position.
The Western strength there was able to
equalize conditions, and insist that, mere
ly because the Survey was largely shift
ing the scene of its operations, it should
not be regarded surplusage and waste
Hunt Artesian Wells.
Assurance has been given Senator Full
ton, of the Oregon delegation, that i'm
portant explorations will be prosecuted
this year in the central part of the
state for artesian water, if the provis-
ions outlined by the Geological Survey
in its recommendations for an appropria-
tion are carried out. Some time ago the
Senator sought to have the heart of the
arid region explored by means of funds
from the Reclamation Service, putting
the boring on the same basis as en-
pounding surface waters, but was in
formed that this use had been construed
as forbidden. Then he directed his
efforts to securing an appropriation for
the work in the photographic department
of the Geological Survey, and was told
that if the 100000 asked for stream
measuring and underground water in
vestigations, carried through both houses,
there would be sufficient funds for an ex-
haustive survey in Central Oregon. With
this assurance, he began an active cam
paign with other Western men to keep
all of the Survey appropriations for
Western work, up to the standard and
had no difficulty of attaining this end in
the Senate.
