aminer would find the true conditions
OF affairs and let the murder out.
When Harry Blackburn was exam
iner used to hope and pray he would
discover the shortage but my plan of
keeping accounts with other banks on
the move was SO perfect that it was
next to impossible to find any flaw"
The present situation in the town Of
Seymour is remarkable. The shortage
has passed the 100000 mark and is
climbing. A majority of the depositors
have organized and secured Howard
Clark Of Des Moines to look after
their interests. The directors, stock
holders and officers of the bank have
employed Miles & Steele OF Corydon
to protect them from the necessity of
beggaring themselves by paying off the
depositors.
But the paradoxical side to the sit
uation lies in the fact that the major.
ity of the depositors are still friendly
to Roy Ware. And the question still
remains:
"Who got the s2oo.o0O?"

From an area OF 10000 square
miles II has been whitfield down to
a little over 1000 square miles, and
from extending from the Cascades to
the Rocky mountains, its extent Is
only about 5S miles from the Cas-
cade Locks to the mouth of the
Deschutes. When Cascade county Is
diced Off, II IL ever is, Wasco will
be one of the smallest counties In
the northwest.
The first session of district court
was held In The Dalles by Justice
Cyrus Olney, one of the justices OF
the Oregon territorial supreme
court, on August IA, 1854, but after
he court house was built and Wasco
county was formed into judicial
district, Jospeh G. Wilson was ap-
pointed Judge This was In 1861,
and the appointment was made by
Governor A. G. Gibbs.
Judge Wilson was the first judi
slal officer who presided in the old
court house. He was elected to and
continued in the Office until 1871,
when he resigned and was the nomi-
ace OF the Republican party for
congress, but was defeated by james
II. Slater. In 1872 he was again a
candidate and defeated John Bur-
lett. He went TO Washington city
and on the eve of the convening OF
congress WINS invited to deliver an
address before the alumni OF Mari
eta college, of which he was grad
uatc. Arriving at Marietta he went
70 his room and was found dead the
next morning of heart failure.
Judge Wilson was succeeded by
B. Whitten. who served on the bench
until the next election. when l.. L..
Macarthur was elected to the posi-
tlon. lie served until 1882, when
he resigned and the new court house
was completed the following year.
Judge Whitten returned to the prac-
tlce OF his profession, and died at
Baker City few years afterwards.
Judge Macarthur. after resigning
his position on the bench became a
leading member of the Portland bar,
and died there few years ago.

A Railroad over the Ocean.

zone OF the most interesting OF re-
cent railroad enterprises was the
building OF a cut-off for the Southern
Pacific across Salt Lake. This road
above the water Is some 80 miles In
length. is carried along In places
where the water has a depth of 80
odd feet, and was made safe for
travel only after many difficulties
had been overcome.
Soon there will be another rail-
road with a course above the sea.
II is being built by Henry M. Flagler
as an extension OF an existing. line
from Miami to Key West. The en-
tire distance between the two points
IL 156 miles. but It is not all open
water. The road goes by n chain OF
islands, and AZ OF these keys. as they
are called. and 75 miles of water will
be crossed. The depth OF water is
from one To 80 feet.
Much interest attaches TO the use
OF concrete In the work, and the Co
ment Age says that "by far the most
important part of this wonderful
undertaking is the six miles OF con-
crete viaducts that span the deeper
and moro exposed parts OF the gulf
and ocean"
Certainly the illustrations which
go with an article on the road In
that magazine reveal a most sub
stantial-looklng structure. and tho
figures on the material used are big
enough to arrest attention--2s6. .0OO
barrels of cement. 177.000 cubic
yards of crushed rock. 100000 cubic
yards of sand. 612.0 lineal feet OF
piling, 5700 tons OF reinforcing rods
and 5000. 900 feet OF dressed lumber
for arehed forms.
At the time when the article was
written seventy OF the is4 acres In
the viaduct had been constructed
and II was reported that the work
was progressing at the rate OF one
arch or so feet day.
Where the water Is shallow EN-
hankments are constructed and thor
oughly protected with rock. and sc
much OF the road Is already buili
across the islands that construction
trains run over 10 miles OF track
The width OF the greatest water gar
Is lS.100 feet.

THE OLD
DALLES
COURT HOUSE

At a request from headquarters
the Portland Journals Dalles cor
respondent secured data and In a
we'll written article, gives a good
history OF the old court house In this
city, which has been used as city
jail many years, and was last week
removed to It's present quarters.
Accompanying the article is fine
picture of the old building taken by
Paul velarde and kindly furnished
to the writer.
The article Is as follows:
The old city hall. formerly the
FIRST court house, in Wasco county,
now moved TO give place to modern
building, is a historical relic worth
possessing. In 1858 the contract
for the old building was let, and II
was completed in 1859. At that time

by an act of the territorial legisla-
ture In 1854 and included that part

10000 square miles embrace more
territory than the British isles OF
than any OF the present states OF the
union with the exception OF Texas,

than twice the area of New England
The elimination OF this immense
territory was first begun whet Ore

February IA, 1859. by that act
Wasco county was deprived OF one
third OF IT'S area and all that portion
east OF the Snake river was annexed
TO Washington territory. Five years
later this became the southern por-

portions of the old county had been
attached to Montana and Wyoming

From the Far West to the Far East.
Reaching Moosejaw-a divisional
point and the junction with the 500
line. we quit the Canadian Pacific
and take the 500 to st. Paul. Moose
law is a thriving town of 1000 souls.
II possesses mills and elevators and
gives other evidences of being In the
vicinity of great what producing
country. | am told that the country
from Moosejaw to Winnipeg Is one
of the richest wheat producing coun-
tries in the world. Still IL is a very
cold and inhospitable country In the
winter season. Moosejaw owns It's
own water works and electric plant,
and It is said the people are greatly
in love with the system. It's flour
mills and elevators indicate the char
acter and qualities of the surround
ing country
Taking the 500 line at this point,
we are now on the most direct line
TO Minneapolis and st. Paul. After
few hours run we are in North
Dakota, passing through great
wheat, barley and oat fields. Here
the crops are very good, but the sea-
son is much later than formerly.
Most farmers are not more than half
through with their hay, which seems
TO be quite abundant. The 500 line
passes through the central part OF
the state but gradually angles across
the state to the southeast. The great
Red river valley is from so to 100
miles east of II, but before reaching
the Minnesota line we cross the
south end OF the valley and get a
view of its immense wheat fields,
fine buildings and well-wooded
streams. Everywhere the crops
seem to be unusually late. Now and
again we saw farmers at work In
their barley fields and some few
we're cutting early oats. II the wheat
crops should ripen-of which there
Is some doubt-the harvest yield OF
North Dakota will be an immense
one, and the people need n good one,
after passing through such terrible
winter as that OF 19O6-7. We notice.
however, that they are piling up
great quantities of coal at the differ
ent stations, and are not to be caught
again, II they can help 1t.
From the Red river valley to
Minneapolis is but a continuation of
the same conditions as prevail In
North Dakota--a late season, people
haying, heavy crops OF all kinds OF
grain and potatoes. This is the 18th
day of August. and very little har-
vestlng has been done-showing that
crops are at least month later than
on other years. Still the people
everywhere appear to be prosperous
happy and hopeful as to the future.
Minnesota is a beautiful state. II
is a prairie state and yet the country
is dotted with large and beautiful
lakes, bordered with trees and
other attractions. In this respect II
differs greatly from both North and
South Dakota, for In these states
there are few lakes and less timber.
We arrived at Minneapolis on
August 14th. where we have a sister
living. and for a day and night laid
on and enjoyed ourselves Immensely
visiting some of the nearby watering
places and other attractions OF this
magnificent state.
