that two or three trains were to be
abandoned. This report has been flying
about some of the smaller towns along

harass the public, and local officials of
the road say that there is no founda-

TO CONNECT PUGET SOUND
WITH HARTMAN ROADS

Portland, July 19.-Final plans
have just been completed for the
entry of the Oregon and Washington
railroad into Seattle and Tacoma
which assure the success OF one OF
the most important railroad projects
ever undertaken In this section. To
Portland, where the Oregon and
Washington will connect with the
Southern Pacific and the Oregon
Railroad e. Navigation company lines
the new Hartman road has been laid
out especially for the handling OF
fast and heavy traffic over the two
hundred miles that separate Puget
sound and the Columbia river.
Into Seattle the oregon and Wash
ington will enter by a tunnel more
than a mile long to avoid congestion
OF traffic on the waterfront streets.
For a different reason the Hartman
engineers found 1t necessary 10 run
their lines under ground into Ia
coma as well. The grades OF the
route originally plotted for Tacoma
were so heavy that orders were is
sued for the surveying Of line that
would avoid the rises of the Tacoma

TURKEY
RED AND
BLUE STEM

Walla Walla. Wash, July 19.-Tha
first wheat harvest In Walla wmM
county commenced Monday at La
mar station, where the Turkey red
variety. was In first-class condition
for cutting.
The raising of Turkey red wheat
is somewhat new In this section of
the country, but it Is believed TO be
the coming variety OF Eastern
Washington, as II is a harder wheat,
maturing earlier than bluestom. and
being less affected by dry weather. II
also stands the cold weather OF win
ter much better, seldom II ever
freezing out, and is we'll rooted and
In a growing condition by the timo
the spring weather opens up.
G. l.. Rowe, manager OF the Acme
mills, OF Lamar, has done much 20
secure the Introduction OF this wheat
from the Eastern states. For many
years Mr.. Rowe was an active miller
in Kansas and Nebraska, where the
Turkey red Is the principal wheat
grown, and after engaging In the
milling business in Eastern Washing
ton, Mr., Rowe became impressed
with the idea that. according to cll-
matte conditions and the demands
of the milling trade. this variety of
wheat would be the most profitable
kind of wheat for the farmers of this
section of the West TO raise.
Farmers who have sown this
wheat this year are certainly we'll
pleased with the prospects. They
have secured good yield. and some
OF the wheat buyers have announced
that they viii pay as much for this
wheat as for bluestem. and In some
cases 1t will probably bring a better
price.

Steamer Line Across Two Oceans.
Ottawa, Ont, July 19.-Arrange-
ments are being made on a lavish
scale for a non-political demonstra-
tion in honor of the primo minister,
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, on the occasion
of his return to ottawa after an ex-
tended visit in England. Sir VIII
frid is expected to reach the capital
day after tomorrow. The celebra-
tion will be on similar lines to the
one extended the premier on his re-
turn from the previous colonial con-
ference.
According to advices from England
Sir Wilfrid's visit has been highly
successful in promoting Canadian in.
terests. Powerful influences have
been brought to bear In favor of pro-
jects of the greatest importance to
the future of the dominion. One of
the most ambitious of those Is the
All Rod steamship line from Great
Britain by way of Canada to Aus
tralia and New Zealand, which would
have the effect of diverting much
traffic from New York and other
ports of the United States to Halifax.
The plan is 10 inaugurate q twenty
four knot service of steamers between
Liverpool and Halifax. thus shorten
ing the Atlantic passage by at least
two days. The distance from Liver
pool TO Halifax Is about $500 nauti-
cal miles and could be traversed ip
four days with steamers of the kinG
under consideration. The complete
trip from London 10 Vancouver could
be made In eight days-a time that
would have been considered impos-
slble few years ago. BY the Hall
fax steamer route, passengers AMI
mail could be delivered in New York
a full day before they could reach
the metropolis by steamer direct.
II the plan is put into effect, liners
of a speed of at least twenty knots
Will ply between Vancouver and
Australia, New Zealand and the orr
ent. Japan will be brought within
about eighteen days of England, and
the journey between London and
Melbourne will be shortened about
eight days. This will be accomplish
ed by means of fast express trains
which will make the trip from Hall
fax to Vancouver In about four days.
The plan has been greeted with
the greatest enthusiasm by the peo-
pie OF Canada. as well as those OF
Australia and New Zealand. and the
British politicians are rapidly awak-
.ening to the fact that such a project.
III carried out, would not only add
greatly TO British commerce, but
would cement the bonds of union
with the colonies.
