Tuesday night at the Council chamber
occurred the transfer Of authority from
the old to the new Council. All the
items of business for the old council
were closed up. A vote Of thanks was
given by the council to retiring Mayor
Sheppard. City attorney Anderson
spoke ut some length in regard to bar
nonious and laborous work PERFORM
ed by the old council. Mayor Shep-
pard responded outlining the motives
that guided him and his associates and
feelingly concluded his valedictory. l..
G. Moore called attention to the valu.
able services rendered by the retiring
city attorney and all present united in
voicing the same sentiment. Mayor.
elect L. Z. Johnson then came forward
and the oath of Office v as administered

Power Plant for Tieton Project.

10 the casual observer it no
doubt has not occurred that such a
thing as building an electrical
power plant is one Of the prelimin-
ary steps in the construction of the
great Teton project would be nec-
essary. but it is. A power plant is
to be built on the Tieton river, and
it is for the purpose Of selecting the
site for this plant that Engineer
Jacobs sent out his men this morn
ing. 90
In the construction of the Teton
project four long tunnels thru
which the water is to run will have
to be built. 1t is TO assist in the
construction of these tunnels MAIN
ly that the power plant will be in.
stalled. Electric lights will be used
in the tunnels to direct the move
ments Of the workmen, electrical
drills used to penetrate the rock
ledges, power will be used to lif,
the concrete forms into place for
the bottom of the canal, and in
many ways the power generated by
the proposed plant can be utilized
to great advantage in the construc-
tion of the big canal.
It willrequire the greatest skill
of modern engineering to carry ou,

skilled band of the best-civil en-
gineers to be found In the world
Every means to expediate the work

The most remarkable announce.
ment that has yet come to light,

To the President and Board of
Directors OF the Open River Trans
portation Company:
Gentlemen:-In reply to your
request for a statement. of results
obtained by the opening of the up
per Columbia river thru the con-
struction of the portage railway and
the operation Of boats OH the river,
l herewith submit the following re
port for your considerations:
During the present season of the
fall of 1906, the Open River Trans
portation company handled consid-
cradle grain at rate ranging from
80 to 40 cents per ton less than
rates in effect on rail line.
Merchandise was also transport
edto river towns aud also 10 interio-
points that were reached. by wagon
haul. The consignees at river
points received their shipments at
a saving of from 80 to 50 per cent
below rail rates to the same point
Interior towns have used the water
haul for over ESQ miles and hauled
by team 20 miles inland at saving
over rail rates.
The farmer and the merchants on
the banks of the river have received
large benefits. 1t has enabled
them to not only market their pro-
ducts locally, but to procure sup
plies promptly and at reasonable
prices. Unu, ed land that has been
III pasturage for years is pow beng
farmed, since the boats have given
the producer means of transporta-
ton. A number of new towns
have been started along the banks
of the river at points where wagon
roads reach out to the farm lands
of the interior. Old towns that
have retrograded since the early
steamboat days have been inspired
with new lease of life.
After the portage railway was
built and just before steamers were
placed in operation. reduction of
40 cents per ton was made on whea,
from Arlington. Wheat was Sc
cured from Washington points by
rail line. despite the fact that the
river tariff was IS cents less than
that publisht by rail, and crossing
charge of so cents per ton. In
o her words IS per cent ton diff
| ferential was met.

took up the matter of shipping by

of t ans secured their shipments at

that city in April Of this year, a
reduction was made by the rail line
Of from one tc three dollars per

During the present year grain
that was promised from some Sec
tions failed to appear on the river
bank. ard after careful invrs iga-
ton of the c .us-, it was found thai
the farmer received benefits from
the opening of the river in the way
of price from buyers, and accom-
modations from competing lines,
that, prior to the operation of the
river boats, he was unable to Sc

BIG SHIP MISSING
 AND ALARM RAISED
THE ARTHUR SEWALL SAILED FROM PHILADELPHIA TO SEAT TILE AND HAS NOT BEEN HEARD FROM.

New York. October 29.Members of the Maritime Exchange today felt some con cern over the absence of news from the full-rgged ship Arthur Sewall, which sailed from Philadelphia April 3 3.for Seat tie, with a crew of forty men, under com mand of Captain Jeffrey. In ordinary weather the ship would have reached Seattle in four months.
 News was received at the exchange of flee today, dated Punta Arenas, Straits of Magellan. August 31, stating that the steamer F'ridtjof. which arrived August 9 from sealing cruise, reported having seen an unknown four-masted sailing vessel standing in deep water on the southeast corner of Noir Island, half way between Cape Pillar and Cape Horn, with masts above water and sails set. There were traces that the crew had landed, but nothing was seen of them. That the Ves- sel had not been there long was evident
