TRAM TO TRANSPORT
 FREIGHT TO SUMMIT

A cable tramway will be installed to facilitate the handling Of the large freight traffic over Ihompsou's pass. on the Valdez trail. A donkey en- zine and boiler will furnish the mo- tive power and the usual wire cable will be used. It is understood the ascent to the summit will begin at Icy point, as presenting the most feasible place. From the base of the hill to the summit, the distance is about POGO feet, with ar approximate average grade of 45 degrees.
 Harry King. well known in Valdez, and a recent arrival from Fairbanks, is taking the initiative in the matter. He left last night on the Elsie for Montagu island to secure a donkey engine and boiler, which wore used there in a logging camp. The cable will be secured from Latouche island.
 Time is an important elcmea, in this matter, and it i5 the purpose of MT. King to have tac equipmca, in working order as soon as possible.
 Cable tramways are successfully operated elsewhere, aaa there ap- pears to be no good reason Wis saeh scheme is not practicable over Thompson's pass.

chase Chapman Furniture Store

An important business deal was
consumated in Dallas this week, when
the ownership of the Chapman furni-
ture store was transferred to f. N. Hall

has been engaged in business in Dal-
las for about fifteen years, and from a
small beginning, has built up one of
the largest furniture stores in the Will
lamette Valley. His progressive bust
ness methods and his unvarying cour-
tesy to customers have won him friends
among all who traded at his establish
ment. tits with great reluctance that
he retires from business in Dallas at
this time, continued i'll health being
his only reason for selling.
His successors are well-known citi-
zens of Polk county, both having been
residents of Dallas for several years.
Mr.. Hall was formerly a resident Of
Buena Vista, where he was success
fully engaged in farming and stock
raising. Mr.. Hayes has been en-
ployed in the Chapman store during
thelast year in the capacity Of skilled
mechanic. Both gentlemen are we'll
qualified for the business in which
they have engaged and their success
is assured.
