FIRST CAROF WHEAT
OVER NORTH BANK
KERR. CLIFFORD CO., SENDS $40
SACKS TO PORTLAND BY
NEW ROUTE.

An event of more than passing in
terest in the history of the northwest
occurred last week. when the first
shipment of wheat consisting of $50
sacks. consigned to the Kerr, Clifford
& Co.. of Portland, was carried over
the new Portland & Seattle railway
from Roosevelt to Lyle, where it was
transhipped and taken to Portland on
the Regulator line of steamers from
the upper river.
The $40 sacks. weighing $4,000
pounds filled one car, and marked a
rev era i'll the wheat shipping bust
ness of the west The grain was
grown in the vicinity of Roosevelt,
and was hauled to that point\by grow
ers for shipment to tidewater. 1t is
expected that there will be q heavy
movement of wheat over the new road.
beginning the first of next month"; as
there are large quantities of the ce-
real not yet taken from the ware
houses The Regulator steamers will
handle the shipments from Lyle to
Portland until the lire is completed
through to the terminal. which will
be within the course Of a few months.

and sincerity.
But someone knows, and knows right
well, who had the ring; where it had
been from the time it left the store I'M
til it was returned. Attorney Mcdonald
says he knows, too, but he wouldn't
prove it by telling. and there is no
other way to prove it. Chief Davis
who thought once or twice that he was
,hot on the scent, admitted Saturday
morning that he had been barking up
the wrong tree, and that there was
nothing to his theory.
Therefore, it remained for the news
paper boys to get busy and do the
"Hawkshaw" stunt i'll the endeavor to
inform an eager and waiting public Of
the deep mystery surrounding the
whole affair. Foley was seen frequently

the foundation of one of the most in
