Another trans-continental railroad
was launched upon an innocent and
unsuspecting public this morning.
This is the Mid-Oregon & Eastern
Railway company, which proposes to
run a line from Portland over the
Cascades, through the eastern and
central Oregon empires and to the
Snake river and on into the states of
Nevada and California.
Incorporation papers were filed
this morning in the office of the sec
retary of state. The men in the ar
ticles-probably mere igure-heads-
l.. c. Tobias, all of Portland. The
capital stock of the company is s13,-
600. 900.
The route proposed is not definitely
given in the articles of Incorporation
but the statement is made that the
| line will cross the Cascades at some
| convenient point and go through
| central oregon to the Snake river
! making connections with other trunl
and trans-continental lines into tn,
states of California, idaho and New
ada.
It is impossible in this city toda!
to ascertain what interests are be
hind this proposition. 1t is know
that the Gould interests are build.~
road from Utah to California, par
alleling the Southern Pacific, an
coming to the California line only
few miles north of Reno. The sam
combination has line running fror
Reno north in Modoc county and it
possible that the same interests ar
behind this plan.
While this may be only "pape
road" the incorporators evidently e'
pect to get some fun out of it, 6
they put up over $500 in the coin {
the realm to pay the state of Orego
for the INCORPORATION papers.

CHINESE ARE LEAVING.
Chinese Government Sends Tickets to
1000 Destitute of Frisco.

That the San Francisco fire and
earthquake will be the means of
sending at least 1000 Chinese out of
the United States, is shown by the
following from the Oregon Daily Jour-
nall
More than 1000 Chinese rendered
destitute by the San Francisco disas-
ter have left that city for China since
the earthquake. says the Journal.
They travel on tickets purchased by
the Chinese government. 1t is said
the San Francisco Chinese were prac-
tically paralyzed by the blow to the
city of their adoption, and did not
rally and seek other locations. There
is no probability of an influx of
Chinese laborers from San Francisco
to Portland.
Charley Twin Wo. one of Portland's s
most eminent Chinese, went to San
Francisco shortly after the fire, to
render whatever assistance he could
give to his countrymen there and d.
rect the distribution of about $4,000
contributed by Portland Chinese mer-
chants as a special relief fund. He
has just returned after two months
spent among San Francisco Chinese
He said:

kThey do not think about moving any

surance money.
"They are willing to go anywher
else to live-that does not give then
any worry, but they have simply give,
no thought to the proposition to es
tablish settlement 10 miles out o
San Francisco. That does not inter
est them. The Chinese government
preferred to help our people rathe
than see them aided by the America
government. The Chinese govern
, ment has bought steamship ticket
, for more than 1000 destitute Chimes
a and taken them back to China"
