Denver, Jan. 2S.-Notice was re-

Martin of the Rock Island that the
government contract for carrying the
mails between Chicago and Omaha
had been awarded the Rock Island
system. The contract had been held
by the Burlington about 20 years.

From Omaha westward the con-
tract is held by the Union Pacific,

While the new service has been
giving Denver 44-hour schedule
from New York for passenger traffic,

coming five hours slower. To the
business interests the mail service is
paramount, and the change in con-
tract, therefore, is appreciated in

60 Per Cent Completed.

about so per cent of the grading
work on the Pilot Rock railroad has
now been completed, and 1t will re-
quire about two months more for the

contract" said H. A. Brandon, assist
ant engineer of the o. r. & N. COM
pany, this forenoon.
According to Mr.. Brandon the bad
weather has interfered to some extent
with the construction work, though
not seriously. Within a short time
track laying will be commenced at
the point where the branch will leave
the main line at the mouth of Birch
creek. At the same time work on the
bridge across the Umatilla at that
point will be started. The bridge will
be a steel structure with two 15-foot
bridge. The pier and abutments will
be of concrete.
Aside from the bridge over the Una
tilla the only other one Of any size
will be where the line crosses Birch
creek at the McBee place. Like the
Umatilla bridge the one across Birch
creek is to be Of steel.
Unless unforeseen delays are met
with in constructing the Umatilla
bridge Mr.. Brandon declares the Pi-
lot Rock line will be completed by
early summer. But should high water
or other reason prevent the compile
ton Of the bridge the track work will
be delayed in consequence, as all Of
the material must be taken across the
bridge.

Sunday Law Would Hurt Idaho

Representative Jones of Shoshone
county, says that the sentiment in his
county is not heartily in favor of the
Sunday rest bill, which is to come up
late this session, says the Boise States
man. He says that the present high
price of the metals produced in the
north has brought about a feverish
desire to take advantage of the high
price, and that the big works would
not favor six-day law. In cases of
wet mines, where pumping had to be
resorted to in order to keep the mine
in condition for work, or with smelt-
ers where the shut off for day would
take good part of the next week
to get started again, 1t would be ruin
Gus, practically prohibitive, to try to
observe the Sunday rest law. Mr..
Jones does not personally object to
the measure, but he says that in these
lines OF work 1t would work serious
hardship.

in the vicinity OF $4,000, hut Of that
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-01-28

amount 1t is estimated that $4,000
cannot be collected, because the par
ties have either left the country or
have nothing that can be attached.
Since 1898, 1t is estimated by Mr..
Nelson, that $4,000 in delinquent per-
sonal taxes have not been collected.
But as above stated, only about $4,000
of that amount can now be collected,
If indeed that much can be secured.
1t is now the intention of the coun-
ty officials to insist upon the payment
of the delinquent amounts and it is
understood that in cases where the
delinquents fail to respond when called
upon proceedings will be started
against them. In the past the county
has never used its power to force pay
ment of the delinquent personal taxes,
though 1t has done so regarding real
estate taxes.
