Sheriff Ambrose Of Grant County
Awaits Voters Call.

Sheriff Ambrose of Grant county,
has made the following statement
relative to taking a third term:
In reply to the numerous requests
coming from the taxpayers and vot-
ers Of Grant county, representing all
political parties, that i should again
allow my name to be used for the Of
flee of sheriff at the coming primary
election / have decided to make the
following statement:
Since / have been elected twice to
this office, ! do not feel that I am in
a position to ask further political fa-
vors at the hands OF my party and
the people OF the county. However,
since the policy that have pursued
since first being elected to the office
is so unanimously upheld and en-
dorsed by the people Of the county,
IL the republican party sees proper
to accord me another nomination for
the office of sheriff, / will accept 1t.
Then should the taxpayers and
voters of Grant county desire a con-
tinuence Of my administration of the
office, an opportunity will be given

Pacific began the construction of a
line from Drain to Coos Bay, to give
the only rail outlet from the coast
country to Portland. Right of way
was secured, grade construction well
under way for 20 miles and several
tunnels opened, when a severe feel
ing of poverty attacked the Harri-
man mind and all work was shut
down. Some of the contractors are
still waiting for the appearance of a
bulletin from New York directing
them to proceed with construction.
1t was announced that last year
construction work would be COM
menced on a railroad to be built from
Matron through central Oregon to
by the Hartman interests. This
road was surveyed and rights of way
Vale by the Hartman interests. This
money in sight, and the project was
evidently dropped or indefinitely post
poned.
1t is known that the Hartman rail-
roads earn great deal of money.
Reports are to the effect that the tom
mage moved by the o. R. & N. rail-
road last year exceeded by four times
the tonnage carried in the preceding
year In any event the amount great
ly increases each year. and the rates
have a tendency to go up instead of
down.
The o. r. e N. company operates
1245 miles, mostly in Oregon, and
some of it in eastern oregon. Total
gross earnings from operation in
1907 We're S12.942,S15. The expenses
of peration-largely increased that
year by extraordinary weather con-
ditions-were $6,969,821 In sim
gle year there was a profit of nearly
$6.00O,000 from the earnings of a
railroad system partially covering
only two small parts of two states.

INDIAN CHURCH TROUBLES.
Trial of Rev. Mark Macarthur for
Criminal Libel Arouses Nez Perces.

The case of the state of Idaho VS..
Mark Arthur, charged with malicious
libel, will be heard before Justice Of
the Peace Erb tomorrow. This is
the action which has resulted from
letters alleged to have been written
by Arthur to the Walla Walla pres
bytery which have caused the remov-
al of Silas Whitman as secretary Of
the Fort Lapwal church, says the
Lewiston Teller.
Mark Arthur is one of the leading
church Indians of the Nez Perce
tribe and recently incurred the en-
nifty of large number of the Lap
wal Indians by action he had taken
in church matters The complain
ing witness in the case is Silas Whit
man, who alleges he was removed
from the church secretaryship by the
libelous letters written by Arthur.
Prominent Indians from@lall Sec
tions of the reservation are identi-
fled with the factions that will be
represented in the case tomorrow,
and 1t is claimed the result of the
prosecution will have an important
hearing upon the future religious de-
velopment of the tribe.
Previous to the arrest of Arthur
on the charge of criminal libel petit
tions were being prepared to be cir
culated on the reservation asking for
his removal as an officer of the
church on the grounds that his in
depreciation of the church principles
was detrimental to the church In
dians. The controversy. thus far,
has been entirely confined to the re-
ligious Indians of the tribe.

RAILROADS WILL USE BLOCK
SYSTEM AND TELEPHONES
New Nine Hour Law Will Require
Thousands of Additional Keymen
and Skilled Material Is Unavailable
Women VIII Me Employed In
Many Instances and New Methods
VIII BE Adopted.

Washington, Mar. Am unexpect-
ed development in the operation Of
the nine hour lay for railroad em-
ployes is likely to follow the enforce
ment today of that measure. Accord
ing to advices received in Washing
ton, many railroads are preparing to
operate their trains by means of
block signals and telephones. II this
project is put into effect, thousands of
male telegraph operators will be
thrown out of employment and their
places will be taken by women at
much lower salaries, since the intro
ducton of the telephone will render
knowledge of the Morse code un-
necessary
Telegraphers declare that the
transmission of train orders by tele-
phone will be so unsatisfactory and
will result in so many disasters that
public sentiment will demand a re-
turn to the old system.
1t was expected that the reduction
in the working hours of railway tele-
graphers to nine hours would compel
the railroads to employ at least 5000
additional men at once. 1t was also
known that it would be impossible to
secure this number of men when
needed, and it was therefore hoped by
the men that an Increase in wages
would be part of the revolution
planned.
The railroads decided that they
would rather spend millions in pro-
viding and maintaining automatic
block signals which never go to sleep
and which never fall unless they
spell danger" than to spend the
same money in maintaining telegraph
stations and telegraph operators. The
closing of stations as telegraph sta
tions is made possible by the fact
J that with an automatic electric signal
all that is necessary is to start trains
as fast as the terminal block is empty
and keep them going until sema-
phore says stop"
Accordingly, many of the big sys:
TENS, notably the Hartman roads
have been Fastening the installing oi
such signals, and the present time
finds them ready to lock the telegraph
keys in hundreds of stations.
The second conviction, but one
which many have hitherto LACKED
courage to put into effect. is that the
telephone is really the most scientific
means of communication between sta.
tions and headquarters. The Bur.
lington road for example. has been
successfully operating trains by phone
over its heaviest division, between
Chicago and Galesburg for severa
years.

notified of the arrest and was pa

SALOON MEN WILL
COMBAT CLUB ROOM
Interesting Contest Promised II
Fraternal Order Tries Sunday
Opening With Club.

Rumors that the saloon men would
fle protest with the prosecuting at
torney against the opening of club
rooms by the Eagles were prevalent
Tuesday but efforts 10 find some au-
thority for the statements were nm
avaling.
1t is claimed. however, that con-
certed action to prohibit anv club
rooms from opening their doors on
SUNDAY is to be taken. The saloon
men declare that permission should
be denied these clubs to run.
The saloons are not permitted 10
keep their places open after mid
night nor on Sunday. and the pool
and billiard rooms have the same re-
strictions. but club rooms are nor
mitted to remain open all dav and
night as well as on Sunday.
City Attorney Forsythe has ex-
pressed his opinion that no action
can be taken. as the clubs are purely
social affairs and do not deal in any
of the goods they sell for a profit.
The Elks have long maintained a
club room in their lodge rooms but
have not kept it open except on lodge
night The I. o. B o. F.. a colorcd
society, have maintained club rooms
in this city for nearly year. and il
was in reference 10 taking action
with them that Mr.. Forsythe ex-
pressed himself as being doubtful OF
the success of such an undertaking
l.e says: The fact that no one is
permitted to buy anything in the
cluh rooms and only those who own
an interest in the club are permitted
to enter practically places them be-
yond our jurisdiction.
