relative to his operations after re-

asked him If it were not a fact that
before visiting the Federation head
quarters he had reported his arrival
to the mine owners detectives. He
said he had not. He said he went di-
rect to Federation headquarters and
saw Haywood. The question of kill

SURVEY LINE FOR
NEW RAILROAD
THE STARTING POINT TO
BE NEAR WALLULA
Proposed Route Almost Parallel With
D. X. & N. Tracks-Line to Enter
Walla Walla on Sixth Street-Fran-
chise Granted-This Line it Is Said
VIII Develop Great Territory
One of Best i'm Washington.

According to the walla Walla pa-
pers, E. S. Clark, one of the engineers
employed by the North Coast rail-
road, Will commence surveying the line
OF the road between Wallula and
Waila Walla. 1t is said that Mr..
Clark is now securing his crew to
make the survey for the road and will
start out with his outfit in a few days.
The starting point will be near Wal
lula though just at what point is not
stated.
The proposed route is to almost par
allel the o. R. & n. tracks, though 1t
Will be aobut two miles south of that
road and will enter a new territory
heretofore untouched by the railroads.
This part of the country is considered
one of the best in this section of the
state.
President Robert Strahorn of the
North Coast recently stated that the
work on the line would commence
soon and the action of Mr.. Clarke is
in line with this statement.
The line will probably enter walla
Walla on Sixth street, over which a
franchise has been granted the COM
pany by the council. The depot
grounds are still undetermined, but
they will probably be selected as soon
as the survey has reached that city.
Mr.. Clark is the engineer who sur
veyed line between Walla Walla and
Lewiston for the North Coast road.
though whether this will be followed
for the eastern line is not known. The
line, 1t is said, would develop a great
territory, though 1t would be expen-
sive. 1t is planned to make the sys-
tenn one of the greatest in Washing
ton and 1t is claimed that trains will
be in operation on a portion of the
road between Walla Walla and the
coast by the first of January. The
line taps some of the best sections Of
the state.

EASTbOUND TRAINS EARLIER
AND NESTBOUND TRAINS LATER

will be lengthered. will be put into
effect tomorrow by all of the rail-
roads running west from this city.
The new schedules are the result of
several months of joint deliberation.
The time for the fastest passenger
trains between this city and Omaha
will be increased two hours, that be.
tween this city and Kansas City will
be increased cne hour, and propor-
tionate increases In the minimum run .
ming time will be made to nearly all
other points. The time of the
Limited trains to Los Angeles will
not be greatly affected, but the time
between Chicago and San Francisco
will be increased about four hours.
The railroad officials deny that the
putting on of slower trains is In re-
taliation for the acticn of the west
ern legislatures in the cutting of
rates. The officials declare that the
schedules that have been In effect
for the past year or more have been
found, too fast for economical opera
tion. Last winter, on account of un-
usual weather conditions, few of the
western roads were able to operate
their trains accoI ding to schedule. In
increasing the running time the man.
ayers are acting in the belief that it
will be more satisfactory to have
schedules which can be maintained,
even IL ordinary delays TO trains are
encountered, than to disappoint pas
sengers ty delivering them at their
destination later than the schedule
time In case Of any delay en- route.

Pilot Rock. June S.--A remon.
STRANGE is being circulated by A. j
Sturtevant to stop the railroad from
building into the town of Pilot Rock
1t is understood that Mr.. Sturte-
want had slready given deeds 70 the
Umatilla Central for two lots, but
on learning that the railroad was to
lay its track along Main street, on
which Mr.. Stvrtevant owns some
property, and in order to keep the
railroad frcm going further south
Than Pilot Rock. the complainant
gays he will spend $4,000 to keep
the railroad outside the incorporated
limits.
The city council granted the rail-
road a franchise along Main street,
but Mr.. Sturtevant Owns two lots
which must be crossed tefore Main
street is reached by the railroad, and
II is to prevent the company from
crossing these two lots, which Mr..
Sturtevant refuses to sell at any price
that the suit with the company is
threatened.
remonstrance has been circulat-
ed In the interest of the complaint,
but 1t is understood that no signers
could he secured. Other property
owners seem to favcr the road com
ing through the town, providing the
company builds its depot within
certain limitations OF the present
townsite.

the one you've been claiming was
'Mildrin,' who, you say, was with YOU

Owners association and the Citizens
alliance there, leaked out this morn

thur Cole, former superintendent of

tary of the Citizens Alliance, is here

Orchard declared in his testimony
he did not know Cole and never saw
him. Cole, It is learned, intends to
testify that Orchard was in his EN-
ploy, and that he, with the mine
owners detective, Sterling, notified
General Sherman Bell that Orchard
was entitled to go and come at will.

CASE IN CIRCUIT COURT.
Chinaman Asks Damages as Result OF
Cayuse Wreck.

Portland, June S.-Charging that
the o. r. & N. company, by its negIi-
gence, was responsible for the wreck
at Cayuse on April 10, in which four
lives were lost and a number of per-
sons injured, Lew wy Hin appeared
in the circuit court this morning to
ask $4,000 damages from the COM
pany for injuries he sustained in the
wreck. The trial of the suit was be-:
gun before Judge Sears and jury
was drawn to hear the case.
1t is charged that the roadbed at
Cayuse, where the train plunged into
the Umatilla river, was defective and
unsafe; that the rails were worn and
dangerous; that the ties were rotten
and broken, and that the flanges on
the wheels of the cars and engine
were worn and unfit for use. These
charges are made to prove that the
negligence of the railroad company
was the primary cause Of the wreck.
Lew wy Hin. Chinaman, who was
on the train, alleges that he sustained
q broken back when the train went
into the river, disabling him for life.
He asks $4,000 damages for his in
juries.
The company alleges that the acci-
dent was caused by the formation of a
spring under the roadbed by the
heavy downpour of rain and that 1t
was q trouble that could neither be
foreseen nor guarded against. The
first witness called this morning was
David Hirstel, a civil engineer, who
testified as an expert witness regard
ing the condition Of the grade at the
point where the wreck occurred. Ad-
ditional evidence is being heard this
afternoon.
1t is said that a number of damage
suits against the o. r. & N. will fol-
low IL Lew Wy Hin is successful in
