new STEAMERS
ON UPPER RIVER
BIDS ARE ASKED FOR coNsTRUc.
TON OF NEW BOATS FOR CO.
LUMBIA AND SNAKE.

A movement to establish a strong
line of steamboats, on the upper Co
lumbia river has reached a stage
where success is positively certain,
and within the next three or four
months a fleet of first-class boats will
Cello portage road and the lower river
steamer j. N. Teal. Bids have been
asked for construction of two steam
ers, and their boilers have been or
dered from the makers.
The two new boats will operate from
Cello to Lewiston, on the Snake river,
and to Priest Rapids on the Columbia.
With the steamer Relief already on
the upper river, this will make three
boats at work in the up river trade.
Dimensions of the new boats will be:
Length, $50 feet; beam, 80 feet. Their
lines will be adapted to the condi-
lions of the river, and the greatest care
will be taken to get boats we'll suited
to the traffic. They will each have a
carrying capacity Of $50 tons of wheat.
The boats will be strongly bulkheaded
be equipped with very powerful en-
gineS.
In short, the tim Of the Open River
association, is to produce two steam
ers that will be ideal for the naviga-
ton of the upper Columbia river and
the Snake river, where light draft,
power and carrying capacity are es-
pecially essential.
With the completion Of this long and
continuous line of important trans
portation interests on the rivers, the
location of the superintendent office
will probably be changed to The
Dalles, to enable that official to nam
die the business from a point at the
center of activities.
Cello will be a busy place for the
next six months. The government en-
gineers are about to let contracts Tor
new construction work on the Celllo
canal the contractors on the old work
are completing that job, the two new
steamers are to be built at that point,
and the freight traffic over the port
ge road will during the crop move
mert add to the life and hustle OF the
place. The steamer Relief will serve
the fall trade between Cello and Ar
lington this year, assisting materially
in the crop movement.

BAPTIST MINISTERS
DISGUISED AGENTS
Americans Under Guise of Mission.
aries Incite Revolution,

MEXICO CITY, July 16.-The recent
leo were melted by two Mexican
agents Of the juntas in the United
States, who travelled disguised as Bap-
fist ministers or missionaries.
These men, Eulalio Trevino and
Cosmo Pena, were recently captured
at the town of Vanegas. They were
brought to this city and the authorities
daily submitted them to a sweating
process and a confession was finally
forced from them.
According to the admissions in the
dispositions taken, Eulalio Trevino was
president of a Mexican revolutionary
club in San Antonio, which was sub
sidiary to the junta at ST. Louis
He came to Mexico under the name
of Leopold Villareal and worked his
way among the sympathizers of the
juntas in the northern part of Mexico
in the guise of a Baptist minister. He
was accompanied by Cosme Pena, an
other revOlutiOnist, as preacher and
held meetings before small congrega-
tons in the state Of Coahulia and San
Luis PotoSi
After these meetings love feasts
were held, so as to keep the authori-
ties blinded as to the real purpose.
Trevino and Cosme Pena were in d.
rect communication with Magon, the
leader, who is now in the United States
and from time to time sent him re-
mittances from collections.

TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
Y, M. c. A. Court to be Kept Busy In
the Future.

At a meeting of the Y. M. G.. A.
tennis club held last night it was de-
cided to start tennis tournaments i'm
mediately on the courts Of the asso-
citation. The entries will be free to all
members of the club and both singles
and doubles will be played In addi-
ton to these tournaments, it was de-
cided to hold tournaments with the
other clubs of the city, provided ar
rangements can be made for the same.
Interest in tennis at the association
has been duller than it should have
been this season and those in charge
of the club are going to make every
effort to get members to use the
grounds. The court is the fastest in the
city and is one which would be hard
to beat anywhere. Any senior member
is eligible to membership in the
club and arrangements have been
made whereby junior members may
use it at certain hours.

course a putty knife is best for the
purpose, but a dull case knife will do.
