Another big manufacturing plant is

RUSHING WESTERN PACIFIC.
Gould Line is Being Hurried to Com.
DletiOn

Salt Lake, Oct. 17.-Although still
working with a reduced force, the
Western Pacific is making satisfactory
progress, and steel is now laid rs
miles west from Salt Lake.
This puts the line within 10 miles
of the edge of the desert and a little
over 10 miles beyond Low Pass. The
line is graded to the edge of the des-
ert and conditions being propitious,
the road will cross the Utah-Nevada
line about the first of the year. Grant
siding, the railroad connection with
Grantsville, is six and a half miles
from the town.
The ballasting of the road proceeds
apace, and is completed to a point sew
eral miles beyond Garfield. A steam
shovel is at work at Lake Point, ex-
cavating heavy rock and material for
the roadbed. Another steam shovel
is in use at Jordan, It taking out
gravel, which is being used for bal
lasting.
About six miles beyond Grantsville
a pumping station has been estab-
lished, and all along the line of work
a plentiful supply of water is OBJ
tanned. There is still a pressing need
for more laborers. Every man that
can possibly be obtained is put to
work, and it is hoped that at the close
of the beet season the force will be
greatly enlarged by recruit from the
beet fields.

Today the contracts between the
Pendleton school board and the 29
teachers composing the local corps
were filed with the county superin-
tendent and the salaries shown there
by are much better than what was
paid a year ago. The grade teachers
this year are mostly receiving S65 per
month, while few draw $50 and two
only s55. The principals of the vari-
Gus grade schools receive $40 and $50
per month, while $50 and $S5 per
month is paid all members of the
high school faculty, excepting the
principal, j. w. Huff, who now draws
$1,000 per year. The salary of Super
intendent Traver is $500 per annum.
In commenting upon the advanced
pay for teachers Superintendent F. K.
Welles said:
''If the measures recommended by
the county superintendents are adopt
ed by the legislature, there will be a
still higher increase in salaries next
year. One of the things suggested is
that herafter a teacher having a
third grade certificate be required to
secure a higher one the next year,
or not be allowed to teach within the
state. AT present this rule is in force
in the various counties, but a third
grade teacher may now secure another
third grade certificate and teach
upon the same in a different county.
Should our recommendation be adopt
ed by the legislature it will work a
great change as teachers will have
to improve or retire. Consequently,
it will result in a higher standard of
ability among teachers and increased
pay
Another change of importance rec
commended at the recent meeting in
Salem is that hereafter the county su-
perintendent act as treasurer for all
districts of the third class, which COM
prises all having an enumeration of
less than 200 pupils. This change
would work a revolution in school
circles as the county superintendent
would virtually be given all of the Of
flee work connected with-the differ
ent districts. However, II is declared
that the business could be handled
much more efficiently than at pres
ent. and also that the change would
mean saving in expense.

The United States government will
build the dam for the reservoir of the
Cold Springs irrigation project in
Umatilla county and soon large
number of government teams and
equipment will arrive from the Klam-
ath Falls irrigation project to begin
work at Cold Springs.
This is in accordance with an or
der issued by the secretary of the in
terror this week, and is the result of
the high bids received by the govern
the government dam.
According to Engineer John 7.
Whistler the bids for the dam were
rejected by the interior department
and the dam will be built by the gov
ernment, under what is called the
force account" in the reclamation de-
partment.
Owing to the severe weather which
prevails in the klamath country in
the winter season. work will be sus-
pended on the government irrigation
project there and the entire available
force will be transferred to the Cold
Springs project where work can be
continued during the winter season.
At least % teams will be sent from
Klamath Falls together with all nec-
essary equipment to prosecute the
work cf construction on the dam. It
was at first reported that part of the
government force at Minidoka would
be- sent to Umatilla county also, but
this is net SO.
The Cold Springs dam will be $500
feet in extreme length, the actual
dam, however, to be about 1000 feet
The remainder of the 5000 feet will
be shallow wings. The dam will con-
sist of embankment work and rip
rappng and will be one of the most
substantial in the west.

Four years behind the walls of the
penitentiary is the fate that now
awaits Robert Weddle, convicted re-
Gently of highway robbery, and who
won additional notoriety not long ago
ny cutting his way from the county
jail only to be retaken a few days
later in Spokane by Sheriff Taylor.
In the circuit court this morning
Judge H. ]. Bean denied the motion
for new trial which had been made
in behalf of Weddle by H. E. Collier,
the latter's attorney. The prisoner
was then asked if there was any rea-
son why sentence should not be pass
ed at that time and as he had nothing
to offer the sentence was imposed.
This forenoon the cases against the
Echo saloonmen recently indicted by
District Attorney Phelps, were also
disposed of. Messrs. Prall & Ireland
and j. E. Taylor pleaded guilty to
having permitted gambling within
their saloons. In each case a fine
of $50 was imposed for allowing gam
bling; a SIS fine for keeping open
on sunday, while the costs i'm each
case amounted to IS. NJ. Gillette and
Cloyd Oliver also pleaded guilty to
having kept their barrooms open on
Sunday and they were fined the same
for that offense, as the above.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
Judge Bean passed sentence upon
young Maryland Brock, condemning
hi INTO one year in the penitentiary.
Al the time the sentence was impos-
ed without conditions but since then
efforts have been made to secure a
parole for Brock so as to permit him
to marry the Andrews girl. Yester-
day the district attorney was inform
ed that the father Of the girl desired
to have the couple marry and he ask
ed that the written request of the
parent be secured. Should such be
forthcoming 1t is possible Brock may
be paroled and allowed to atone for
his offense by getting married. The
Andrews girl is still here and has been
a frequent visitor at the court house
since Brock has been confined there.
