RAILWAYS IN YUKON.

Vice Consul G. C. woodward of
Dawson, furnishes a report on the
railways in the Yukon territory, from
which the following abstract is taxi
en-:
The first railway line in operation
in the Yukon territory was that por.
ton of the White Pass and Yukon
route, between a point on the boun-
dary between British Columbia and
this territory. The total length of
the road is 96 miles, about "a of
which Is in the Yukon territory, 16 in
Alaska, and 26 in British Columbia.
Its starting point being Skagway,
Alaska at the head of Lynn canal,
and its terminus at the head of navi-
CATION of the Yukon river, it has been
the key to the door of the Klondike
gold fields. The line connects at
Whitehorse in the summer months
with steamers running on the Yukon
river, and during the winter season
with stages to Dawson.
The Klondike Mines company,
owned by London capitalists, is the
first company to build and operate
railroad entirely within the Yukon
territory. About 80 miles of the road
were finished and put in operation
on October 10, 1906. Its starting
point Is Dawson, and its present ter
minus IS sulphur springs. 1t is q
narrow gauge line; its steepest grade
is 1-2 per cent and its greatest
curve % degrees. The elevation al
Dawson is 1900 feet; at Grand
Forks, 1870 feet, and at the highest
point on the road, 1868 feet. Ter
| trestles and two steel bridges were
built on the completed section. Tht
largest trestle contains 10000 fee
of lumber. The steel bridges were
furnished by an American company
An application will be made to tht
Canadian parliament at its next ses
sion for an act to incorporate a new
company to construct railroad from
point at the terminus of the Klon
dixie Mines railway to Fort Mcleod
in British Columbia. 1t will be known
as the Yukon and Pacific Railwa,
company.
Another company will also ask tn,
Canadian parliament for a charter t

HEAVIEST RECORDED RAINFALL

AS all interesting antithesis to the
conditions existing in this locality
with regard to the rainfall tie local
Gather bureau has on file statistics
which show the places in the United
States where the largest amounts Of
rain fall annually. The part of this
county which takes the palm in this
respect Is the coast sections of Wash
ington and oregon where the records
show that the average amount Of rain
in one year is between 100 and 140
inches.
H. connection With this subject it
might he interesting to know the
place and time where the heaviest
rai'kall OH record for 12 consecutive
hours took place. This rainfall is
described in the following article
from the London Athenaeum
Before the Meteorological society
paper hy r. L. Holmes OH "The
Phenomenal Rainfall in Suva, Fill"
August s. 1906, was read by the Sec
retary. Unfortunately the exact
amount had to be, in part, estimates,
owing 10 the observer failing to
measure the fall at intervals during
the night. Very little rain fell be-
fore sunset, but from 6 p. m. there
was ceaselass downpour till sunrise
the next day. At 10 p. m. the assist
ant found the gauge overflowing
with 1880 inches Of rain in 1t. Four
hours later, at 2 a. m. on the 9th. the
gauge was again overflowing; and at
a. m. 1t was overlooking once more
that is three times in 12 hours
Very little rain fell after a. m.
These measurements show more
than 81 inches, without taking into
account the ovcrflowings, which are
an unknown quantity. AS the gauge
was 25 feet above the ground, Mr.
Holmes is of the opinion the rainfall
should lie increased about / / per cent
so that the total fall must have been
fully Al inches in about 13 hours
which he thinks surpasses anything
that has been recorded in any other
part of The world In so short u space
of time.

SKETCH OF BISHOP POTTER.

Bishop Henry Goldman Potter,
head of the Protestant Episcopal d.
ocese in New York, was born in
Schenectady, N. Y, May 25, 1885.

A WEEK IN PENDLETON.

Few people who do not follow the
details of life in a city realize how
many urgent calls there are upon the
business men and residents of cities.
Almost the entire week is filled with
regular engagements which require
time and energy from people, aside
from their regular duties and business
pursuits.
Many of the engagements are pleas
ant and are a means of diversion,
others are arduous and require work
and thought and are additional bur-
dens upon the shoulders of those who
must meet them.
Let us take this week in Pendleton,
as an illustration.
On Monday night the following
events are scheduled: knights of
Pythias, woodmen of the World and
Eagle lodges; musical and literary
program at the Presbyterian church.
On Tuesday evening, militia drill,
graduating exercises Pendleton acad-
emy Redmen, Eastern Star lodges, NJ
E. prayer meeting.
On Wednesday evening council
meeting, Baptist, Presbyterian and
Christian church prayer meetings, Odd
Fellows lodges, Eagles carnival.
On Thursday evening Eagles carni-
ral, Daphne circle Women OF Wood
craft, NJ. z. church prayer meeting.
During the day Decoration Day exer-
discs will be held and the annual
election of the Thursday Afternoon
club will take place.
On Friday evening Eagles carnival
choir practice of several churches, or
gan recital and musical program al
the new NJ. E. church.
On Saturday evening close of the
carnival, Sells-Floto circus, Odd Eel
lows lodge.
Aside from the carnival there arr
still more events during other weeks
but the present week is an illustra
ton of the demands upon people il
a city. Every night is filled with en-
gagements and nobody knows, excep
those in direct touch, the energy tina
is required to keep the social and bus
iEess wheels moving. ''

HOBO CITY, NEVADA.

Hobo CITY is the name of the lat
est boom mining camp in Nevada,
and thereby hangs IL tale. The first
gold find in this district is said to
have been made by a pair of old
buns, dirty. ragged unkempt and 9TH
erwise as delectable specimens of
their tribe as are often found.
Thrown from a train Mt a desert way
, station over near ths California line,
they headed for the Masonic district,
where they hoped to find enough
lucky prospectors to enable them to
attach a handout and possibly can
of booze, says the Intermountain Re-
publican,
The way was long and the heat was
intense. The tramps sat down to
rest They sat upon one Of natures
freaks of formation known as a blow
out. One of the tramps discovered
something that gllttered. It proved
to be a piece of rock carrying high
gold values.
The tramps fell to. For the first
time in many years they worked and
worked hard. They excavated and
scooped out some 75 pounds of the
truck which they took to Gardner
vile and sold. The returns were good,
they bought a horse and wagon. some
grub and went over the back track.
Nine claims were located and sur
veyor ran the lines for a townsite,
which the original discoverers desig-
mated by the euphonlous sobriquet of
Hobo City. At once there was rush
for the new place and in short order
so men were on the ground.

NO MORE "ARID REGION"

II Sherman county gets the rain
she has contracted from the Los An
geIes rainmaker, there is no reason
for there being a section called "arid

Ifs1500 will bring six inches of rain

stunt is successful, what is the use Of
the reclamation department, the ir-
uigating ditch, the prayer for rain?
Hereafter the tower of the rain
maker may be raised anywhere In
the arid section. The chemicals of

OSWALD WEST AS \ TYPE.

The Sunday Oregonian pays a de-
served tribute to Oswald West, the
young democrat who has served the
state so faithfully as land agent and
who is now making good as railroad
commissioner:
Oswald West, formerly state land
agent and now member of the rail-
road commission by virtue of appoint
ment by the governor, is recognized
all over the state as young man who
has made good in public service.
This recognition he has attained by
the aggressive spirit he displays in
taking up any work that may be as
signed him. Where many others in Of
ficial position would have been con-
tent to let affairs drift along in we'll
worn ruts and in accordance with out
of-date customs, he has been prompt
and persistent in efforts to establish a
better order of things.
Because he found practices in force
was not the slightest reason why he
should continue them. If they were
good, very well but If not good they
must make way for the better. Wheth-
er the desirable thing can be done
he seldom, If ever, stops to inquire.
|
thing can't be done without trying
and he makes the effort.
Everybody told him he couldn't
secure convictions in the state land
fraud cases, and he didn't, but he
made a try at it and at least brought
to light the facts as to the manner il
which the state lands had been pur
chased.
The only reason he didn't secure
convictions was that the criminal law
did not cover violations of the LAM
laws. His aggressiveness disclosed tn
laxity of the criminal laws.
West is an aggressive member o
the railroad commission. He does no
worry himself over the question
whether the commission has the pow
er to take proposed action for tn
benefit of patrons of railroad.
it is something that ought to be done
he believes in doing it, and letting tn
other fellow do the worrying.
Legal distractions have no terror
for him. If shippers make a com
plant he believes in trying it on tn
merits first, leaving the railroads t
raise the question of law If it be foun
that a cause for complaint exists.
There are scores Of young men i
official positions in Oregon-cit!
county and state offices-who coul
. win recognition as West has If the
were willing to undertake reform
| which they admit should be inaugul
1 ated, but which they hesitate to al
tempt because they doubt whethe
!. anything can be done.

According to statistics the money
value of the earnings of students at
different periods in their school life
is as follows: At the close of the
grammar grades before entering high
school, $500 per year; at the close of
high school work, $1,000 per year, and
at the close of a university course,
$4,000 per year. This shows, If true,
the need Of colleges and universities in
which the earning value of an edu-
cation may be brought to the highest
standard. 1t is an argument against
the referendum on the University of
oregon appropriation. How is the
value Of an education to be fully re-
allied If the state university is Grip
pied by lack of funds?
