FIRE ON AMERICAN FLAG.
Rebelt in Peru Kill North Yakima
Boys Chum.

North Yakima, Wash, July 15.-
William McCully, son of ]. A. McCul-
ly, writes from Cerro de Pasco, Peru,
where he has been engaged in rail-
road work, that during the revolution
airy fighting his roommate was killed
and the American flag fired upon by
the rebels.
1t appears that the rebels were ap-
proahcing the town and making good
progress until they reached a point
100 miles from the city, where they
required a new locomotive. The
trainmen ran the engines into Cerro
de Pasco and when the revolution
lists cut the wires o. B. Chaleen, an
American and superintendent of tele-
graphs. took an engine with big
American flag mounted on the pilot,
and started out to make repairs.
The locomotive ran into an ambush
OF the rebels and Chaleen was killed.
The foreigners in Cerro were caught
between the lines of the government
and revolutionary forces and took
refuge in the state building of the
telegraph company. This was riddled
with bullets, but the foreigners es-
capped serious injury and the rebels
were defeated in short order and
driven from the city.

TIMBER WOLVES" GET

Dozen Buyers Complain Of Smooth

Portland, July 15.-More than a
dozen disconsolate, disgusted and VIC
timized would be timber-land buyers
cluttered the lobby outside the office
of United States John McCourt Sat-
urday morning. Each one had been
buncoed for not less than 5000 and
two were stung to the tune of $500.
Back of their appearance is the
well-worn story of flimflammed peo-
pie who desired to acquire some Of
oregons heavily timbered acres in the
Willamette valley. 1t is not the first
time the authorities have heard the
tale, and may not be the last, but

ted States commissioner to find what
they know about making false affi-
davits on timber claims.
According to Mr.. McCourt the vic
tins were taken to fine quarter Sec
ton of timber. told this was the quar-
ter section they were being located
on, and then were given a qurter
section many miles away to file on.
By questioning several victims, Mr..
Evans discovered that several were
shown the same fine-looking body Of
timber and then located on a burn.
In one or two instances, the monu-
ment had been tampered with, so that
when the timber buyer was shown the
and witness trees, they
agreed with those recorded. 1t is a
serious matter to change the mark
ings on the monuments, but it is diff
ficult to obtain evidence, as a man
who alters the markings is not likely
to do so when there are eyewitness
es.

injured. 1t was impossible for the
crew to venture among the beasts for
long time, owing to the fury with
which they were kicking.
All the animals were crowded over

NEW IDAHO ROAD.
NORTHERN PACIFIC TO
CONNECT WITH p. & l. N,
Extension of Line Southwark VIII
Give Idaho People a Shorter Route
Through the State-Line VIII Be
Built to Meadows and Thus Close
the Idaho Gap.

The Boise Capital News says Of the
extension of the Northern Pacific
railroad from Grangeville to Mead
ows, Idaho, to connect with the P. &
I. N:
Direct communication with the
northern part of the state, the OPEN
ing of another inland empire with
Boise as the metropolis and a saving
of several hundred miles in travel in
order to reach northern Idaho, are a
few of the great advantages to be
realized in the course of year with
the completion of the Northern Pa
cific extension from Grangeville to
Meadows, and Of the P. & I. N. extern
sion from Evergreen to Meadows.
Work is in progress on the North
ern Pacific extension, a force of 500
teams and scrapers and about 500
men being placed at work about two
weeks ago near White Bird on the
Salmon valley on the right-of-way
from Grangeville to Meadows. 1t is
not anticipated that the read will be
completed this fall. but it is stated
that the grading will be done and all
preparation made for operating the
line next year, the p & 1. n. extern
sion will be made to connect with the
Northern Pacific at Meadows.
With the construction of the road
completed through the rich Salmon
river valley, an extension Of the P. &
1. n. will probably be made down
Long Valley along the Payette lakes
to Emmett
This latter extension Is proposed,
which the Northern Pacific extension
it is reliably reported, will be COM
pleted by next year and direct COM
munication by rail opened and estab-
lished between these two widely sep
arated parts Of the state has been
maintained only by going through the
adjoining states TO the west and thus
travelling about three times as far
by rail in an indirect and tiresome
journey.
Large numbers Of men and teams
with graders have been flowing into
the Salmon river country for the past
two weeks to take up work on the
grade for the Northern Pacific ex-
tension.
The contractor having charge Of
the grading force, has secured pasture
for 1000 head Of horses while con-
struction camps have been cheated
along the right-of-way OF the pro-
posed road, for board and sheltering

ployed grading for the right

CHARLES PIERCE RETURNS.
With Family VIII Spend Summer I'm
Blue Mountains.

Charles Pierce, brother of Walter
Pierce, and a former resident of this
city, passed through Pendleton yes
terday with his family on his way to
Weston mountain, where he will camp
during the next two months.
The following is taken from the
Los Angeles Times.
That, man should be happy leav-
ing Los Angeles seems paradox, yet
c. M. Pierce, originator of the Bal
loon route trips, is that man. He was
busy yesterday closing up his affairs
preparatory to leaving this morning
for a four-months' vacation which Will
be shared by his wife and two little
girls.
II have found the true secret of
happiness" said Mr.. Pierce as he
looked out under the peak of his ball
loon cap. with southern Califor-
MIA, the seat of a mighty empire that
Is to be, and Los Angeles to have a
million people in 10 years"-he paus-
ed for breath-"and Balloon Routes
in every city of any size In the coun'
try, and myself and the family going
on a long outing, why shouldn't 1 be
happy?"
Mr.. Pierce, who started the Balloon
Route here four yeas ago, now finds
that he may extend the tourist trip
scheme in many other places, partic-
ularly tourist points and this Is what
he will devote his entire attention to
when his four months vacation ends
When he began here four years ago
he hesitated a long time before he
hired one man to assist him at 81 a
day
my present plans will require the
services of nearly one thousand men

said he.
He would have gone on the outing
June 1, BIT did not want the Fourth
trip of the orphans over the route to
be held without him. The vacation
will be spent at mountain camp in
northeastern Oregon, 20 miles from
walla Walla, Wash. After the camp
breaks he will visit the principal
cities of the country, returning by way
of Florida and the south. During
their absence, the family will visit
his mother, sister and brothers Of Mr..
Pierce, who live In Oregon.

EXAMINATION FOR RHODES
SCHOLARSHIP IN THE FALL

University Of Oregon, Eugene, July
15.-The examination for the Rhodes
scholarship will hereafter be held in
the autumn instead of in January, as
heretofore. The change has been
made for the reason that the new
date will allow the successful candI-
date much more time to select and
arrange for the college he wishes to
enter at oxford. Unless selections
are made quite early, candidates are
often compelled to accept second
choice Of colleges. The next Rhodes
examination will be held in the fall
Of 1909, probably at the University

scholars at Oxford next year, Mr.. Ed
ward Winans Of Willamette Univer-
sity, who was appointed in 1907 and

Daring Young ROhher

With handkerchief tied so as to
cover the lower part Of his face and
armed with a gun, a lone highway
man, whose age is varlously estimat-
ed at from 16 to 20, held UP Frank
Reynolds and two other ranchers of
the Selah, named Moberly and Nose
bar, at 10 o'clock Thursday night, and
secured SO from the pockets Of his
victims.
The holdup, which was of daring
character, occurred on the Selah road
at Dimmick's hopyard. The three men
were riding in buggy on their way
home from the city when suddenly
the highwayman jumped from behind
a tree beside the road and, covering
the three men with his gun, demand-
ed that they hold and deliver up their
money or their lives.-Yakima Re-
