HILL REPLIES TO MESSAGE
RAILROAD MAGNATE WRITES A
LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR
( OF MINNESOTA.

St. Paul, Jan. Ex-Governor John
sons discussion of the railroad situa-
ton i'll his recent message to the leg
islature has brought out a letter from
James j. Hill. Mr.. Hill says in part:
1.-THE business OF the United States
is today SO c%ongested that the people
are face to face with the greatest
business problem that has ever threat
ened the nation.
The limit of service of a common
carrier has been reached when it has
moving at all times over its system
as many cars as car be run upon it's
tracks with safety and transferred at
terminals without unreasonable delay.
Beyond that point increasing cars and
engines cannot help.
The railroads of the country can
not conduct promptly even the volume
of business now in sight unless they
shall build $4,000 miles of track with.
in the next five years at a cost OF
$4,000 a mile. or $4,125, O0O. 900. To
this would have to be added one-third
for terminal and passing tracks, max
ing a total of close to IS, $780, 600, 900.
Suggests Two Remedies.
1.-TWO remedies must be found. The
prohibitory expense now attached to
enlargement of terminals at many
points and the absolute lack of avail
able space at any price may be met
by a decentralization of traffic. There
must be more points for export, more
interior markets. A fifteen-foot canal
or channel from st. Louis to New Or
leans would go further to relieve the
entire Middle West and Southwest
than any other work that could be I'M
dertaken. With such a depth of water
a single powerful towboat would carry
from thirty to forty trainloads.
1.-The investor declines to put his
money INTO enterprises under ban Of
unpopulsrity and even threatened by
individuals and political parties with
confiscation or transfer to the state.
The withdrawal of capital from this
field is one of the bottom auses of
the great decline in railroad building
at the very time when the growth of
the country in other respects has been
most marked. There has been no time
since 1893 when there was diff
Guilty in raising money for railroad
purposes than at present"

On yesterday about 100000 pounds
of wool was offered for sale at the
warehouse of the Caldwell Forward
ing company. There were IL buyers
present, representing houses in the
east. The bidders seemed slow in
making up thir minds about the val
ues. The prices ran from II SIS to
20 l-2 cents per pound. The bulk
Of it was between 19 and 20 cents.
There has been about 125,000 pounds
of wool stored in Caldwell. Andy
Little got 10 "a cents for his clip
of 2S5.000. Fred ]. Palmer got 20
l-2 cents for his offering. This was
the beet wool sold. We understand
that there will be no further sales
like the one yesterday. The prices
are good and the sheepmen should
be well satisfied with the price Of

Shipping rs Carloads of Cattle.

The first train load of the large
number of cattle purchased within
the past few weeks by the we'll
known firm of Bales & Jones will be
made from this place next Saturday.
The shipment will consist of about
25 cars and the stock will begin to
arrive at the stock yards in a day or
two. Another shipment of 40 cars
will be made from Sites on June 25.
The cattle are all one and two year
old heifers and will be sent to the
Standing Rock Indian agency in
North Dakota where the government
is supplying the Indians with breed
ing stock.
w. s. Parkin, who contracted with
Bales e. Jones for the cattle, arrived
yesterday morning from Mandan.
There appears TO be plenty of cattle
through this section, he says, but
finds that a somewhat higher price
prevails here than in the oregon
country.
Mr.. Jones, Of the firm of Bales &
Jones, who is purchasing the stock,
states that there has been no sale of
cattle of this class for years and this
will be the last opportunity for the
stockmen to dispose of many head for
which there will be practically no
market in the future. There is new
er any demand to speak of for one
and two year old heifers and only on
occasions Of this kind is there any op-
portunity to dispose Of them In large
numbers.-Lewiston Tribune.

ORCHARD LAND s5es PER ACRE.
Medford Fruit Land Prices Rival
Those of Hood River.

Those OF Hood River.
What shtuld be an inspiration to
umatilla county people to plant more
orchards, is contained In an account
Of the sale of 73 acres of orchard
land near Medford for $563.5O per
acre. Medford correspondent says:
The record sale for Rogue River
valley orchard property was made
last week when the beautiful E. ].
De Hart orchard near this city was
purchased by c. e. Marshal, of Renn-
salier, Ind, for $4,000.
This sale demonstrates that the val
ue of orchard properties in the Rogue
River valley is rapidly increasing and
1t Is a foregone conclusion that South
ern Oregon lands WILL In the near flu
ture. bring the same prices that pre-
vail in the Hood River valley and
Kikima country.
Considering the fact that this sea
sons fruit was withheld by Mr.. De
Hart, and that its estimated value is
$4,000, the sale of the orchard was
in reality on a $4,000 basis, and as
the acreage totals rs 1-3 acres, the
price may be estimated at $563.5O per
acre, which is the highest price pei
acre as well as the. largest sale 70,
an orchard ever made In southern
oregon.

The Nome season OF 1907 Is now
on in earnest and every outgoing snip
bound for the north is crowded to Its
rails with passengers and freight.
says the Seattle News. From all in
dications this season will break all
previous records.
Already nearly a third as many
persons as left this port last year FOR
Nome are sailing towards the Bering
sea and the rush has little more than
begun. The local steamship compa-
nies, foreseeing that an unusually
heavy amount of freight and passen-
gers would have to betaken north
have acquired several large steam
boats and put them on the Nome run
SO that there will be twice as many
steamers on that route this year. In
spite of these additional vessels the
heads of the big companies state that
they expect every steamer will carry
more than the average amount of
freight and passengers.
The additional steamers to go on
the Nome run this year are: The
Pacific Coast Steamship company's
steamer President, which is one of
the finest vessels on the coastwise
trade, the Umatilla and Montara, the
Northwestern Steamship company's
new steamer Yucatan; Shubach &
Hamiltons monster freightters, Hy-
ades, Lyra and Pleadies.
Besides these the following sailing
vessels have been added to the fleet
this year: The ships st. Paul, st.
Francisco and Elwell, and the
schooHers Vega and Volante. These
are the new acquisitions, the rest OF
the fleet will be made up practically
of the same boats that were on the
run last year. These vessels are, the
Pennsylvania, Northwestern, Sarato.
ga, Edith Olympia, Victoria, Spokane
Jeanie, Mackinaw, San Mateo ant
Ohio.
There will be 23 vessels plying be,
tween Seattle and Nome this season
last year three were ~. Thus 1t Il
evident that the steamship companie
believe that the far north is enter
ing upon a period OF rapid and sub
need not betaken as final. Reliabl
statistics prove beyond doubt tina
the regions of the Yukon are devel
oping rapidly and that its output O
precious metals is increasing in pro
portion to the settlement of the cour
try. l.iGe
Statistics show that about 100
persons have located permanently 1
the Nome district in the past thre
years. Some misguided persons de
clare that more money is being spen
in the north than is coming out 1
the shape of gold and other metal.
Such a statement is not carried ou
by facts.
In the past few years the value o
the mineral product of the Nome ne
ninsula has exceeded the value of tn
merchandise, machinery and sup
plies shipped in by s41,537,591.11.

THE MASK OF HEALTH.
Few People Are Really AS Well AS
They Look-Cause and Remedy.


Many people in Pendleton both
men and women, who believe them
selves to be in perfect health, are Of
ten in the greatest danger.
Indigestion, which is so common a
trouble, is the principal cause of the
greater share of the general poor
health. 1t has misleading symptoms
the stomach, such as headache, sleep
lessness, specks before the eyes. pains
in the back and side, etc.
The success Of physicians every
where with the prescription that Is
now embodied in Mi-o-na stomach
tablets has made this remedy in the
last few years the acknowledged spe-
cific for the treatment OF stomach
diseases. The secret of this success
lies in the fact that Mi-o-na Is pre-
pared expressly to strengthen the di-
gestive organs and its use for a few
days puts the whole digestive sys-
tenn in such shape that 1t can care
for all of the food that is eaten with
out pain or distress.
Simply take a Mi-o-na stomach
tablet before each meal and on re-
firing, and II will so strengthen the
stomach that ycu can enjoy II hearty
meal without the least fear of dis
tress or suffering.
Tallman & Co. givee an absolute
unqualified guarantee that your mon
cy will be refunder unless Mi-o-na
cures. They take the whole risk and
the remedy will not cost you a pen

Black Cat Football Teams Mascot.

The strange sight of a black cat as the
travelling mascot of a football team was
witnessed in connection with a league
match at Park avenue, Bradford, on
Saturday. Early in the season a fine,
glossy black cat strayed into the prem
ises of the Halifax Football club at
Thrum hall Some members of a super
stitious turn of mind perceived in this
visit an omen of good fortune and, in
keeping with a local custom, buttered
the animals paws. Ever since the cat
has received the kindliest treatment
and fortune has smiled on the efforts OF
the club.
At practice the cat takes up a promi-
nent position where it can view opera
tons and seems to take deep interest in
the players. The team has won twenty
one of its twenty-four league matches
this season, their latest triumph on Sat
urday being over Bradford, which is at
tributed to some occult feline influence.
