SPECIAL FROM PITTSBURG
 MAKES TRAIN RECORD
Runs 468 Miles in Seven Hours
 and Foty-TWo Minutes,

CHICAGO, May lone of the most remarkable runs in the history of American railroads was accomplish ed Sunday morning when the Pennsyl- vania road brought the Dairy Maids Company from Pittsburg to Chicago in seven hours and forty-two minutes.
 The distance is 468 miles, which makes the average speed a fraction under sixty-one miles an hour, includ- ing stops. Never before, so far as known, has this average speed been maintained for so great distance by a train carrying passengers. In its remarkable flight the special train overlook the Pennsylvania Special, which is the companys eighteen-hour train between Chicago and New York and one of the two fastest long-dist- ance trains in the world. The theatri- cal special was stopped four times and slowed down once by tn eblock- signals to prevent oyerrunninS the Pennsylvania's crack train.
 One of these forced stops was five minutes and the others were nearly as long. The run is said to have an i'm portant bearing on the future service of the Pennsylvania. As soon as the companys tunnels under the North River and Manhattan Island are in operation, admitting Pennsylvania trains into the new New York depot, it is understood that the company win reduce the time of the special to six teen hours between New York and Chicago.

NEW IRRIGATING PLANT
FOR SAGE BRUSH BELT

The Echo Register says Of the in
stallation OF new irrigation near that
place:
John Nissen, the implement dealer,
of Pendleton. closed a contract with
Pelmulder Bros, by which he will
install at their place a few miles from
Echo, an irrigatlng plant which will
bring about S5 acres of sage brush
land under the rejuvenating influence
of a four inch stream of water.
Messrs. Pelmulder have in all 65
acres OF land all on the bottom eX-
cept the acreage above mentioned
They have made an excavation near
the river which gives an abundance
of water all the year around. The
centrifugal pump is near the hole and
at extreme high water will probably
be submerged, but the engine, which
is an 1S horse power Alamo, sets high
and in no danger of high water.
The new plant will cost upwards
of $1,000 besides the installation,
which will be considerable more.
At present these boys have all sorts
of fruits and vegetables growing and
bearing on the low lands, and they
will also cause the sage brush lands
to bloom and blossom with profitable
trees and shrubs. The cultivation of
sage brush land is no longer an ex-
pertinent when water can be secur-
ed

Unique Railroad Payroll.

Probably unique among the pay
rolls of the country is that of the
Pennsylvania railroad, which, accord
ing to a compilation just completed,
IA shown to have 1850 active employees
who have been with the road 40 years
or more, says a Pittsburg letter. In
addition 1913 men served the company
more than 40 years but have retired
from active work and are receiving
pensions regularly from the company,
The census of the civil service of the
United states showed on July l. 1907,
that those who had been in the serv-
ice of the national government for
more than 80 years numbered 40 men
and one woman. on the other hand,
Pennsylvania railroad records show
that today there are on the pay rolls
of the company 316 men who have
been in its service more than so years.

FOUND GOLD QUARTZ
IN GRAND RONDE

r. d. Hamilton was In the city this
morning from his place eight miles
northwest Of La Grande and brought
with him samples of quartz taken
from a ledge less than 200 yards from
his line, which shows an assay OF
s1S4 per ton, says the la Grande
Observer. This rock is taken from a
point " feet below the surface.
George Twead, who owns the pros
pect, is sinking a shaft upon the
property and is now down IA feet He
will continue to sink until he reaches
depth of 30 feet, when he will
cross-cut the ledge. The ledge now
shows a width OF 80 feet. It is be-
lieved that the property will develop
into a very rich mine.
A number Of years ago, to be exact,
16 years ago, a specimen was picked
up In the near vicinity of this pros
pect shaft which, when assayed, prov.
ed to be OF the value Of $4,000 per
ton.
Many prospectors have searched for
the mother lode, but so far have fall
ed. It is to be hoped that the pres
ent owner has made the lucky dis
covery. Union will sooner or later be-
come one OF the richest mining re-
glons in Oregon.

Changing Queen Bees.

NJ. Townsend, who has several
hundred stands of bees on the Uma-
tilla ranch, imported new queens las'
week, says the Echo Register. The
Bennett" variety from Idaho, Ohio,
and New York, and also some from
his Malheur county apiary Mr..
Townsend shipped a ton of honey to
Portland last week. AS a rule bees
have not done well this year The dry
season has had its effect and the fact
that alfalfa is cut so early in the sea-
son keeps the bees from working on
the pollen of that flower. Mr.. Town
sends honey crop was scarcely halt
of what 1t should have been. A
search around among the beekeepers
develops considerable Encouragement.

HOW DID THE BULL
GET ON THE TRACK

In its report upon the causes of the
wreck OF the Cottage Grove passenger
train, which was hurled in the ditch
Sunday night by coming in contact
with a bull lying upon the track near
Eugene and in which four lives were
sacrificed, the railroad commission
finds no defects in the roadbed or
track, that the right Of way fence
and gates are ordinarily sufficient and
that the train crew acted coolly and
in good judgment, but the manner in
which the bovine got upon the track
has not been ascertained, says the
Salem Statesman.
The farmer to whom the bull be-
longed yeported that one panel Of the
fence had been torn down and that
the gate was broken and that he fixed
the gate but made no repairs to the
fence.
The commission recommends, as
means of preventing future accidents
of the sort, that the railroad track
employees make more frequent inspec-
tion of the fences and gates and that
the authorities of the cities and
towns cooperate with the trainmen to
keep tresspassers off the trains
Half of the killed." says the rec
port, "are persons who are violators
OF the state law and unless the laws
are rigldly enforced the rate Of deaths
from train wrecks cannot be minim-
ized.

In which 1t is stated that the foremost
authorities of the American and Brit
ish nations on the subjects of license
and taxation will be present to de-
liberate upon these questions and
among the principal topics sched-
uled for consideration and debate are:
"All state constitutions requiring
the same taxation OF all property, or
otherwise imposing restraints upon
the reasonable classification of prop
erty, should be amended by the re-
peal OF such restrictive provisions.
"Inherltances taxes should be re-
served wholly for the use OF the sew
eral states.
Succession and inheritance tax
laws should be so amended that the
same property shall not be taxed by
two jurisdictions at the death OF the
owner.
"The same principles should be ap-
piled in all tax legislation TO the end
that no property should be taxed by
two state jurisdictions at the same
time.
"Retaliatory legislation is contrary
to interstate comfy end is in the ma
ture Of war; therefore. all retaliatory
legislation should be repealed.
"The public debt of all states,
counties and municipalities should
everywhere be exempt from taxation,
state and local revenue systems
should be so far divorced that by
general laws the appropriate local
governing bonds may. II deemed ex-
pedient, be granted certain limited
and carefully prescribed powers over
the licensing Of occupations and the
selection OF subjects OF local taxation
and the rate OF assessment upon such
subjects"

Engineer f. C. Kelsay, who has
the contract for the construction of
Eugenes gravity system of water
works, returned to Portland last
evening after having been here a
day or so looking after the work of
surveying for the proposed pipe line,
says the Eugene Guard, To a Guard
reporter at the train he stated that
the survey is now practically COM
pleted and the plans and speciflca-
tions will be ready about September
10. He stated that the flow of water
in Ritchey creek yesterday was $780,
600 gallons. He thought the water
would get still lower before the au-
tumn rains set in, but was certain
that the flow would never get so low
as to be insufficient to supply Eu-
genes demands.

pounds of high-grade ore, and if You
want the proof, can furnish it. Al

the ore.
Altinger claims in his suit that the
words were ia. ye and defamatory, and
known to be such by Wingfield when
he uttered them. The bill then goes
on to say that high grade applies to
ores carrying values of $500 or more
to the ton, and that high-grader is
one who steals this class of ore, or
who handles it, knowing 1t to have
been stolen.

THE COALITION
DEAL Is ON
IN new YORK

RAWHIDE, Nov. 1.-THE big Goa
'lition deal is on in New York with
every assurance of it's consummation.
E. w. King, the big Rawhide mining
man; Nat C. Goodwin, George Ora
ham Rice, Charles w. Reed of the
railroad; A. U. Magnan, who recently
investigated the district; J. P. Flynn
and a number of others prominent in
Rawhide's development, at in the
metropolis. r. M. Van Dorm, secre-
tary for the Coalition company, has
gone there with the company's books,
presumably to add the finishing de-
tail touches to the conclusion of the
deal.
From all sources of information at
hand, the big deal will be heralded
as positive fact within the next few
days. Some dilatoriness has been ap-
parent during the past few days in
concluding the negotiations, but this
slowness has been attributed to cleo
ton. This has been settled now by
the election of the big secretary, and
there seems to be no excuse for fur
Their postponement of the important
transaction.
| The project is of momentous inn
portance to Rawhide, as it includes
so much which if carried out will
make prosperity for the camp. 1t
comprises the construction of the
Rawhide Western railway; the build
| ing of the immense 500-ton reduction
plant at Walker lake; the merging of
the properties of the Rawhide Coali-
ton Mines company and the Rawhide
| Queen Mines company into one great
corporation, and the sale of 81 per
cent or majority of the stock, to
New York, Philadelphia and Boston
capitalists.
The completion of the deal also
means more extensive development
of the properties of the company. Al
least one deep working shaft will be
sunk at an advantageous point, from
which practically all the great paral
lei veins which transverse that par
of the district can be prospected ant
exploited. This will mean the EN-
ployment of more labor, which will
greatly conduce to the prosperity O.
the camp and encourage leasers to re
newed activity.

stock and who have gone into their
own pockets for all the money spent
in the purchase, development and
equipment of the mines rather than
see the shares pass into hands of peo-
pie incapable of realizing it's value,
finally reached the conclusion that
the task of building large reduction
works and the extensive opening of
the mines would involve more capital
than they could spare. That was why
price was made on the control, and
that is why Mr.. Newhouse and his as
sociates are now in the saddle and
masters of one of the real big bo-
