NEW ROAD
IS ASSURED
Cap. Hanger Tells Of Plans
Of CO v. v. Traction Co.

Cap. M. r. Hanger vice president of
company, which is promoting an elec-
trio line from Dayton to Wallula to
connect with the Open River associa-
tiOn's line of steamers, is in Walla
Walla today from Dayton.
There is no doubt in my mind but
that the Columbia & Walla Walla
Traction companys proposed line from
Dayton to Wallula will soor be a re-
atty" declared Captain Hanger, in
speaking of the companys proposed
plans for financing and building the
line.
"Mr. Libby. who has been in the
east, is expected in Walla Walla next
week to take up the matter of finan-
cling the project. Mr.. Libby is a big
man and is able to command immense
capital. His record in the lewiston
Charleston country, where he carried
to completion immense irrigation and
land development projects. stamps
him as a man of great executive abili-
ty and capable of carrying through any
proposition, no matter how large
1.-The company has acquired practi-
cally all the necessary rights of way,
terminal grounds and depot facilities
for the proposed line in addition to
the surveyed route and water power
for the power plant. Water power ca
pable of developing 600 horse power
has been secured on the TucanOn. Ir.
fact everything is practically in readi-
ness to begin contraction work on the
road. The question of financing the
project is only to be settled and We
have no fear but this will Oe succ----
fully accomplished.
THE building of this electric lire
will open up to small farmers a vast
district of land capable of growing
fruit and vegetables, now used in
raising wheat or other cereal crops.
The company's plans may include a
big irrigation project in Columbia
county by using electric power to
pump water from the TucanOn on to
a big section of exceedingly fertile soil
above Dayton. 1t will take time,
however, to work out many projects
capable of being developed by the
building of the new electric line. The
first thing to be done is to build the
line"
Captain Hanger is a pioneer resident
of Columbia county and has been an
active principal III the development of
that district. He was one of the orig
inal promoters of the Columbia & Wall
la Walla Traction company and has
been actively engaged in pushing the
company's proposed plans. , He has
made close study of electric lines,
their construction, management and
earning power and the development of
districts through which they pass.

"BATH ROOM" CASE.
Sensational Testimony Stricken from
the Record.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15.-The
story Of the bathroom bribery was
told to the jury in the Benson-P Perrin
land fraud trial yesterday, only to be
stricken out later on the ground that
it failed to connect Perrin with the
fraud Woodford D. Harland of the
Oakland office said Benson invited him
to the Hotel Washington and took him
into a bathroom and paid him 5000
for information concerning forest res
ervatiors in oregon and California.
Later it was brought out that Harland
was working with Detective Burns at
the time he gave the money to the
secret service men. Judge DeHaven
struck the testimony out on motion of
the defense. W. E. Volk, a clerk. in the
land office, told that Benson gave
him SO for information concerning

GRAZING
REPORT MADE
Bio Increase in Revenues
from Forest Reserves
Washington News Bureau.

w NEWS
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 15-The
annual report of grazing on the Ma
tional forests for the fiscal year 1906
'07, which has just been completed.
shows that 6,657,0S3 sheep and goats
and 1,2O0,15S horses and cattle grazed
under permit on the ranges. The pre-
vious years totals were: sheep and
goats, 4,263, 100, and horses and cat
tie, 1.O25.143. The total receipts from
grazing permits for the year were
1857 856.83. For the preceding year the
amount was $514,692.S7.
During the year just closed the re-
port shows that 1862 applicants for
pasture were approved. and of these
were granted permits. That was 92
per cent Last year there were 1S,040
applications, and 1888 permits or 92
per cent. The fact that the percent
age of permits was the same in both
years tends to show that the method
of transacting the business is syste-
matte, and that great fluctuations
/ need not be expected
The increase in the number Of stock
or. the ranges for this year is due al
most wholly to the increased area of
the range, and does not mean that the
pastures are crowded more this year
than last. The total area of the forests
is far greater this year than last and
a greater number of stock can be ac-
commodated without an increase per
OF the United States and Alaska
amounts to 15O,O0O,OOO acres, but stock
is not pastured on all of the forests.
In some regions cattle and horses pre-
dominate, in others sheep and goats.
The natural conditions of the land
throughout the mountains of the west
ern states are such that the bounda-
ries of the national forests of necessity
include many open parks chiefly val
liable for grazing. The Importance of
the livestock industry demands that
these ranges be fully and fairly uti-
| lized in the interests Of the commune
| ties which depend upon it. The graz
ing regulations of the forest service
are intended to meet the demand with
the utmost care, so as TO assure the
people of the west the continued use
ard constant improvement of the ma
tiOnal forest range
Stockmen who wish to make use of
the range apply for permits. They
state the kind of stock they have, the
quantity and location of the range they
want and the officers in charge make
allotments. apportiOning the available
pasture among the applicants On as
equitable a basis as practicable.

while resisting an attempted holdup
of a store he was in charge of.
