She Is Running Easy.

NEW YORK October 10.-LocaI officers
of the Cunard Company said today that
th- Il dTsl ip Lusitania. which Is coming
a"foss the Atlantic in big jumps. would
pIo ably De reported off Nantucket late
this afternoon. It was thought that dur
Ing the last part of the run the vessel
would be eased off, so as to reach Sandy
Hook at high water tomorrow.
Capt Watt will not wish to anchor
outside, said OF the officers, "and,
therefore. his vessel will not be driven
down the final stretch of the trip. We ex-
pect that she will arrive at the Sandy
Hook lightship early In the morning and
reach her pier by O'Clock tomorrow"
If this schedule Is adhered to the big
ship Will reach her pier about three hours
earl er than on ner maiden trip.
Vernon H. Brown. general agent Of
the >Cunard line in New York, did not
appear greatly surprised at the LUST
tanias big runs His opinion was
that the vessel was not being driven
to top speed, but was naturally a fast
ship, and was reeIing off the records
without being pushed
The reports that the Lusitania Ii
being driven to make a record this
trip are exaggerated said Mr. Brown
| drive a steamship for a record on her
second trip. Engineers know better
than to do this. When the officers of
the company feel that the time IS ripa
the liner Will show what she can do"
Whether or not conditions favor a
considerable lowering of the Lusitanla's
previous record of five days ard fifty
four minutes on the present trip, sho
Is generally conceded to be n four
day liner. Her smashing runs or con-
secutive days of COS and GIT miles ia
looked upon as FennG rkable for d steam
ships second trip.
Blue Ribbon for British.
With every transatlantic speed record
broken, the Lusitania should arrive at
Sandy Hook lishtship at lilo O'Clock to-
night, just four days, seventeen hours
and forty-five minutes actual running
time from Daunts Rock. Off Queenstown.
Thus. If the swift tur5iner maintains the
speed average which she has kept up un-
til today she will tie first so-calIed four
day boat that ever crossed the Atlantic
ocean; for she Will have covered the dis
tance of 2, TS2 nautical miles from Daunt's
Rock to Sandy Hook lightship in ak
hours less than five days. This breaks
her own westpounQ record made on her
maiden trip BY more than seven hours
and places all speed records to the credit
of the British builders and the command
er of the new giant steamer.
Todays rep3rt from Nantucket light
ship placing the Lusitania eighty to one
hundred niles east of that lightship at
II 80 ain. today indicates that sho has
maintained her speed average for the
first part Of the voyage and is hasten
ing toward New York at the rate of
q Is nautical mills. or about q land
miles. an hour faster tnan ever ship
came before. and nearly a knot an hour
faster than the words record o: 1858
knots for average speed for a traasatlan-
tic voyage, made by the Kaiser Wilhelm
II on an eastward trip.

GREAT NORTHERN VALUES
Immense Cost of the Hill Systems Is
Estimated.

A Washington dispatch says.
The Hill railroad system has ac-
cented in advance the challenge OF
the Roosevelt administration of the
actual values Of railroad properties
In fixing railroad rates. 1t has laid
before tie interstate commerce COM
mission a remarkable and complete
inventory of all Northern Pacific
property. showing that its system to-
day is worth 1890, 900. .OOO-that is. II
would cost that much to reproduce
1t; and that 1t is capitalized for only
about s325.0O0, 900.
On this showing the Northern Pa
cific proposes to argue in the Spo.
Kane rate case that it cannot Justly
be subjected to reduction of It,
rates. and 1t will put up to the COM
mission an entirely new case, far
reaching In its significance.
Commissioner Prcuty was told that
expert real estate men had been sent
to appraise the terminals In the diff
ferent cities at current going prices
OF general property. He was inform
e. that nine city terminals would
cost more today by two and ono
third times than all the rest OF tn

The Oregon Daily Journal says of
w. II. Babb, formerly of Butter
creek, who is. now located in Canada,
and who is engaged extensively in
horse shipping from eastern Oregon
into Canada:
W. II. Babb, one of the best known
stockmen of eastern Oregon in par
ticular and of the state in general, is
registered at the Perkins and will
remain in Portland for week or so
on business. MIR. Babb is now a resi-
dent Of Medicine Hat, Calgary, Can
ada, where he has large stock ranch
which during the last three or four
years he has stocked with the best
range stock to be found on the
ranges of eastern Oregon.
When the Medicine Hat district
began to attain prominence rs a
wheat raising and agricultural sec.
ton, Mr.. Pabb conceived the idea of
stocking the country with eastern
Oregon horses. The large influx of
settlers had created great demand
for farm horses and the eastern Ore
Son horse was suited in many ways
for use in that section. For the past
several years, in furtherance of that
plan, Mr.. Babb has shipped train
loads of horses north from Pendle-
ton to be broken and sold to the set
tiers of Calgary.
So successful was Mr. Babb in his
venture that the Canadian inhabitants
grew jealous of the Oregon horse
and very recently through political
influence have caused the enactment
of a law prohibiting the shipment of
anything but well-broken horses into
the district. The law was based up
on the argument that the range
horses were diseased and so carried
contagion to the Canadian animals.
To meet the changed conditions It
is now the intention of Mr.. Rabb to
have all horses sent in by him brok-
en- in eastern Oregon before shipment
and thus meet the conditions of the
law. He will leave for Pendleton and
other eastern Oregon points in a.
short time to make arrangements for
his annual trainload shipment.

When the receiver is named he
will proceed to locate and take under
his control all property OF the defend
ants found in the state, and will thus
be able to state every place where
the defendants are in any way car
rying on business In Kansas. Any
attempt TO conceal the sale of liquors
