wild Animal Celebrities" by Miss
Velvin, the author Of Behind the
Scenes with Wild Animals" is a col
lection of life stories of actual animals
now living In various geological gard
ems and menageries throughout the
world. The facts related have been
obtained first hand from naturalists
and trainers and many of the animals
described are old personal friends of the
author. A special interest attaches to
this book which will be published soon,
from the fact that both John Bur-
roughs and William T. Hornaday, di-
rector of the New York geological park.
agree that Miss Velvins work on ao-
count of it's foundation of actual ex-
perience is of peculiar value in these
days of animal fiction masquerading in
the clothes of fact.

THAT WAS FRUITLESS
Opponents In Gillian, Sherman aud

Invoke Referendum Against Him,
But Did Not Do So, and Now II Is
Too Late, and He Is District At
torncy TIL 1908 Election.

J. A. Collier, formerly an attorney

ened to invoke the referendum upon
the bill creating the new district. In
consequence of this Mr Collier ten
dered his resignation to Governor
Chamberlain.
But few days ago Mr.. Collier was
In Salem and personally laid the en-
tire story of the opposition to him
before the governor with the result
that the latter has refused to accept
the resignation rendered by Mr.. Col

he is evidently in control Of the sit

RAILWAY MERGER
MOST COLOSSAL DEAL IN
TRANSPORTATION HISTORY.
VIII Hold Practically Everything East
of State Of Illinois I'm Its Grasp
and VIII Be Called the Greater
Pennsylvania System Hartman
VIII Be Completely Outclassed for
Magnitude of Operations.

Washington, May 2S.-While the
eyes of the whole country have been
centered on f. II. Hartman as the
master ana manipulation of the rail-
road wogll, greater and more ex-
tensive combination of railroad inter-
ests has been in process of perfection,
until now the plans are matured for
the public declaration of this gigan-
tic merger. More than a thousand
million dollars of capital are involv-
ed, and the mileage of the new sys-
tenn will extend practically from the
most northerly point of the Atlantic
coast to the Gulf ports, with network
OF tracks in New England, in the east
and middle west, and tapping the
greatest freight producing territory in
the world.
This colossal merger, when perfect
ed, will be known as the Greater
Pennsylvania system. II will embrace
practically all the railroad mileage in
New England, together with the pres
ent Pennsylvania lines east and west
of Pittsburg, with through connections
to New orleans and Mobile on the
Gulf. The main properties to be
merged, as learned here, are:
The Pennsylvania railroad, controll-
ing all the lines east of Pittsburg; the
Pennsylvania company, controlling
the lines west of Pittsburg: the New
York. New Haven & Hartford railway,
controlling practically all the mileage
of New. England outside of the Boston
& Maine system; the Louisville &
Nashville railway and connections.

Washington, May 2S.-The South

acres of valuable land from settle

The president is holding almost
daily conferences with Senator
Bourne Of Oregon, and IL possible the
federal statutes will be invoked to
force the road to release it's grip.
Bourne says the road was original
ly granted 100000 acres. promis-

SO per acre. Instead 1t has sold con-
siderable at SIS and fatty refuses to

1T is 1870 miles further from Hunt
ington to Portland by way Of the pro-
posed Snake river route by way OF
Lewiston and Riparia, than II is by
way of Baker City, La Grande and
Pendleton and the traffic of the o..
r. & n. will never be diverted from
the present main line of the o. r. &
N. over the Blue mountains" said F..
G. Schubert, civil engineer of Bos-
ton, who was in the city this morning
on his way from Huntington to Spo-
kane.
Mr.. Schubert has been in the vicin-
ity OF Huntington and the Seven
Devils district for the past three
months studying the railroad possi-
bilities for eastern capitalists, and his
view OF the proposed route down the
Snake river may be taken as that Of
an expert.
1T is IT'S miles from Huntington
to Lewiston by the Snake river route,
much Of that distance being over sex
tremely costly roadbed, where solid
rock walls are interposed for many
miles at a stretch. From Lewiston
to Riparia It is 70 miles and from
Riparia to Umatilla 81 miles, making
a total of 344 miles, while from Hunt
ington to Umatilla by way of La
Grande and Pendleton II is but PIT
miles, making the actual difference
i27 miles in favor of the mountain
route.
THE mountain route is already sup
piled with heavy steel and the roadbed
has been ballasted at enormous cost,
round houses at La Grande have just
been erected, coal chutes at Bingham
Springs have been built at heavy ex-
pense and permanent improvements
are being made on the mountain route
every month, and with 127 miles dis
tance from Huntington to Portland In
favor OF this route, there need be no
alarm at a threatened change In the
route OF the traffic over the main
line of the O.. r. & n. system"
Mr.. Schubert says the survey Of the
line down Snake river is being made
at the present time, but he feels that
II Is for the purpose of establishing
a claim to the pass down the river.
He believes the line will be extended
from Huntington down the river to
the Seven Devils for the purpose Of
handling the immense mineral output
Of that region, but he thinks 1t will
be many years before the line will be
in operation from Huntington to Lew
iston.

CLARK NELSON HAS RESIGNED.
Realignment of Baseball Team Is Be-
ing Effected.

Clark Nelson, captain of the base
ball team, has resigned his position
both as head of the team and as center
fielder. The resignation was given to
Manager Frazier yesterday and has
been accepted. No one has yet been
chosen to captain the team during the
remainder of the season, and accord
ing to Mr.. Frazier, he will not make
a selection just now. Until a new
man is selected the manager himself
will call the team out for practice.
Last night meeting of the baseball
association was held for the purpose
of discussing the situation and of de-
vising ways and means of repairing
the shattered fortunes of the team.
1t was decided to secure a new bat
terry and arrangements have since been
made whereby a new pitcher and
catcher have been signed up. When
the team again plays Walla Walla it
will go in for the purpose of winning
and of redeeming the series of defeats
to which the team has been subjected
lately.
