NORTHWESTERN
SURELY COMING
EXTENSION FROM wYOM-
ING INTO IDAHO
Line Seems Almost Certain to Come
West by Way of Boise and Vale
Material for 200 Miles of Track Now
On Hand In Wyoming.

Reports of proposed extensions of
railroads to the northwest continue to
sweeten the news columns of all the
papres of the inland empire. The
latest is concerning the coming of the
Northwestern into Idaho and Oregon,
from the Boise Statesman. The
Statesman says:
That Boise will, before many years,
be on the line of road which II Is
not unlikely the Northwestern will
build from Casper, Wyo., through
Idaho to probable termination in the
Coos Bay country is the belief of c. c.
Moore. the we'll known resident of St.
Anthony, who is now in the city on
business. Mr.. Moore is a large land
holder in and near st. Anthony.
He is in a position to know of the
operations of the Northwestern now
building in Wyoming, and although
when approached by a reporter he
said he could give no positive inform
alton to the effect that the road would
build through Idaho, and did not care
to be quoted on the subject, the an
nouncement coming from him of the
probability of further operations Of
the Northwestern is important
The Northwestern is now building
from Lander TO the Yellowstone park.
At Lander the company has construc-
ton material to build a line at least
200 miles in length, according to the
statement of Mr.. Moore, and he thinks
that the most feasible route for line
which it is regarded as almost certain
will be constructed to the Coos Bay
country would be through Idaho via
Boise and on to Vale.
From Wyoming the line could come
into Idaho at point along the south
line of the Yellowstone Park and Mr..
Moore is of the opinion that such a
line will be built, as offering he best
route.
The company has its surveys COM
pleted to Dubois, which will, IL not
changed, put ST.. Anthony on the line.
At Dubois the surveys end, but II Is
understood are to be taken up again
at Vale, ore. Although 1t carrot be
verified, 1t is stated that the Barber
Lumber company has ordered rails
for the constructution of its logging
line from the Barber dam to Center
Vile and it is said the order calls for
the best rails that can be made. This
is taken by some to mean that cir
cumstances are shaping up to the end
that the Northwestern will secure
control of the Barber road, from
which it is thought, a line will be ex-
tended into this city.

Hanfnrd,s Manager Here.

Because of the abandonment of
Frazer theater, Pcndleton people will
not be permitted to see Charles b.
Hanford in Julius Caesar" this
spring. F. Lawrence Walker, busi-
ness manager for Mr.. Hanford, is in
the city today and was astonished to
learn that the Frazer had heen
closed. 1t will he necessary for
iIanfurd to jump from Wallace to
Baker City, since the performance at
Pendleton must be cancelled. Pen
lleton has always been rated rs one
of the best theater towns In the
northwest and Mr.. Walker is sur
piised that a new theater is not now
in course of construction to be ready
for the next theatrical season.

A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS.
Old Maids Convention Was Highly
Appreciated.

Last night the -looked-for Old
Maids convention was held at the
theater and proved a tremendous sue
cess. With outlandish costumes and
faces that would have stopped the
toughest clock, the delegates filed up
the gangplank TO the stage at $50
and for three hours there was some-
thing doing. That the performance
was well appreciated was proved by
the bursts Of applause and the show
crs of cabbage that descended upon
the state at the crucial times.
During the evening Miss Carrie
Shcuerman played several piano Sc
iections which were highly appre-
ciated, as were solos rendered by Miss
Grace Hawkes.. Miss Bernice Ruppe
and Mrs. Anna Selkirk- Norton. A
pleasing defamation was rendered
by Mrs. Il. F. Driscoll, while Miss
Porter of the Pendleton academy, al
So recited.
The attendance last night was
large. as was inevitable, and the af-
fair proved a financial as we'll as a
theatrical success.

CURE and F. D. Kuettner. Astoria.
When asked as to the policy Of the
road under the new management.
President Levey said:
AS the new proprietors have lust
taken charge Of the property, 1t is too
early to state plans fully for improve
ments and extensions, but the Astor-
Ia & Columbia River line will be an
nexed to the Portland G. Senttle rail-
way and form continuous line from
Spokane to the sea.
With reference to the seacoast line
from Seaside to Tillamook and va
quina Pay, surveys for the entire line
have been completed and the
line was today adopted by the board
Of directors with a view to construc-
tion at the earliest possible date.
There is, however, considerable liti.
CATION pending over rights of way
along the adopted route.
The Pacific Railroad & Navigation
company has just brought proceed
tngs in equity to enjoin this COM
pany from constructing this line, and
there are many condemnation suits
to acquire right of way that could not
be obtained by purchase. OF course
actual construction cannot COM
mence until this litigation is disposed
Of and the necessary rights of way ac-
quired.

SURVEY FOR DORMITOIsY.
Work VIII Soon Begin OH Pcndleton
Academy improvements.

The building committee of Pen
dleton academy last evening started
the preliminary work on the boys
dormitory building which is to be
erected this season, By employing
Geary klmbrell to make a survey of
the dormitory site and to prepare
grade plats of the grounds.
1t is probable that the dormitory
will be built just west of the academy
building and about 20 feet distant
from the present building.
w. F. Matlock will continue the
stone wall started by him on his
property, along the bank of the Wal
ters' mill race, the entire length of
the academy grounds and a boule-
ward will be opened up from the
ao.th end Of Main street bridge to the
west side of the academy property,
thus giving easy access to the Mat
!ock property and to the academy as
well.
AS soon as plans for the dormitory
are accepted work will begin at
Gnce as IT Is desired to have the

Astoria and Columbia River Rail-
road Formally Taken Over by the
Hill People-Means a New Line
From the Inland Empire Wheat
Felt To- the Sea Coast.

The future transportation fdcili-
ties of Umatilla county were some
what affected by the change in the
ownership of the Astoria and Co.
lumtia River railroad which took
place yesterday in Portland. Since
the Hill interests have acquired this
line between Portland and Astoria,
it becomes a come citing link for
new line to be built down the Column
liza river by Hill. thus giving him an
outlet from Portland to the sea and
directly connecting his system with
the inland empire ard Columbia river
basin.

Potatoes from Weston.

The Peoples Warehouse has just re-
ceived an entire carload of Weston
as any ever grown in Oregon. For
merly large part of the spring sup
ply of potatoes for this city has come
from North Yekima, but the non-ir-
rgated potatoes of the Weston noun
tain district are now being used ex-
t"nsively. Almost the entire crop of
Weston mountain potatoes could be
consumed in Pendleton and this
would become a profitable industry
for the farmers in that rich section
If they would turn their attention to
