 MISS MIMIC GREENE A NOVELIST.
 Friends everywhere of Miss Frances Nimmo Greene will be pleased 10 learn of her further success in the fields of literature. The rumor recently cur rent among her Montgomery friends to the effect that she had work of fic- ton ready for the press. can now be definitely confirmed She has lately signed contracts with large New York publishing house for the bringing out of her novel which may be expect ed to appear in the latter part of the spring. The literary exclusiveness ard business rating of her publishers stand sponsors for both exceptional merit in the work. and its suspicious introduc- tion to the American public.
 Miss Green Is too well known in Montgomery to need any introduction. Her former efforts in other fields of literature have met with marked suc- cess. and the fascinating mystery story embodied in her novel will at once place our Miss Green in the same rank WltH Anna hdthdriie dToeH6 OI The Filagree BalP' fame. The scene of the forthcoming novel of Montgomery's au- thor is located in New Orleans and opens with one of the profoundest trag- edies that ever stirred that great city, ' a tragedy that thrilled a continent and | threatened international complications. Miss Greene Is at present holding the position of secretary to the Library Association and Director of the Public Library of Birmingham, but Montgom- cry lays first claim to her and feels peculiar pride in the success she is achieving.

ELECTRIC LINE FROM
WALLA WALIA TO SPOKANE

Walla Walla, Wash. March 1S.-
Although the statement was made
today by w. s. Matthias, that the fu-
ture plans Of the Columbia and Walla
Walla Traction company can not be
geven out in ADVANCE, for reasons of
business, it was nevertheless said that
through electric cars from this city to
Spokane will be run when the line Is
completed and that the Walla Walla
valley will become in time, a net work
of electric lines the power for which to
be generated from the great amount Of
water yet embarrassed in this section
of the country
It has been decided that the COM
pany will retain the original name of
the Columbia and Walla Walla Trac-
ton company and that it will be ex-
tended from Dayton to Wallula and
from thence to the Snake river where
it will effect a crossing. The point of
crossing is not yet decided upon.
Although previously surveyed, the
line will be gone over again and any
changes that the management deems
practical will be made, this work to be
under the supervision of C. w. H.
Sansom, formerly connected with Ca
madam Pacific railroad. 1t has been
stated that the line is absolutely inde-
pendent and in no wise connected with
the Hill, Hartman nor Graves sys-
tenn, yet there is the possibility that it
will unite with the latter, in time.

AID WHEAT SHIPPERS.
Portland May Build Big Elevator
Dock.

II plans now projected materialize,
farmers will have exceptional facili-
ties this coming season for disposing
OF their grain crops, both as to saw
ing Of time and money, says the Port
land Journal. In the first place the
Pacific Coast Elevator company and
the Puget Sound Warehouse company
have agreed TO reduce handling
charges from IS TO so cents per ton
along the o. r. & N and Northern
Pacific branch lines, and in the Sec
ond place an immense elevator dock
will be built here in Portland for the
ready reception of grain.
1t is said that the reduction in the
charges for handling grain at the in
terror warehouses will save the farm
ers about $4,000 every season, and
the building of large elevator dock
here will insure much quicker move
ment of the seasons crop, as there
wilA; then be no delays, as often in the
past, of vessels having to lie in idle
waiting for cargo. And there is also
strong probability of the farmers
throughout the wheat belts building
warehouses of their own, a PROPOSE
ton that has been enthusiastically
discussed for some time.
Fred Muller, secretary of te board
of trade, says that everything points
to a fine and unhampered movement
of wheat during the coming season.
He considers that the reduction of the
handling charges along the o. r. &
n and Northern Pacific lines will
mean a big saving to the farmers, and
says it goes to show what can be
done by the Introduction OF modern
systems, The cost of operation o
these warehouses, he declares, has
been reduced sufficiently by the in
stallation of modern appliances to
make the reduction possible.
Site Has Been Secured.
In speaking of the project to erect
a large elevator in this port, Secre-
tary Muller said:
"The site has been secured, and i'll
is expected to have the new dock
ready for operation this season. But
it is not possible for me to at this
time announce where the site has
been chosen. The erection of a new
elevator here is not contemplated with
a view to compete with warehouses
now situated in this city or port, nor
to reduce the warehouse charges in
the least, but simply 10 add modern
and up to date facilities FOR the most
handling of the grain
business through this port.
"The very fact that in the next few
years the bulk of all the grain pro-
iuced in the Pacific northwest will
,ome through Portland, has prompted
he capitalists behind this new ele-
'ator to erect it at this place, believ-
ng that they will find the ready CO.
operation of everybody in need of such
ABILITIES"

FIGHT FOREST FIRES
WITH TELEPHONE LINES

Two hundred and eighty-five miles
of modern telephone line has been
constructed by the national forest SER
vice in the state of Oregon and 1O2
miles in the state of Washington as
aids to the forestry work and as a re-
suit the service is now in a position
where its employees can communicate
with any district which may be in
danger from fire. Twenty five miles
of such telephone lines were con-
structed in national forests during the
year ending June 80, 1908, says the
Portland Journal, while 1887 miles of
line are authorized to be constructed
soon.
The necessity for better telephone
communication in the national forests
was brought forcibly to the attention
of the forest service on account Of
the large number of forest fires dur
ing the past year. The need for them
has not been underestimated in the
past and many miles of telephone line
have been constructed in the nation
al forests. The headquarters Of

BOUGHT WHEAT LAND
IN SUNNY ALBERTA

T. L. Densmore formerly of this city
but now located at The Dalles, was
here today on his return from Cal
gary, Alberta, where he bought $50
acres of fine wheat land from the
Canadian Pacific railway company at
SIS per acre on 10 years time.
He bought in the vicinity of Strath-
more on new line of railroad being
built this spring and adjoining land
owned by r. o. Hawks of this city
and Grover Swaggart of Heppner.
The railroad company will farm 800
acres for Mr.. Densmore this year and
plowing will be started on the tract
about April 1. One crop on the land
will pay the entire purchase price.
Hundreds of land buyers are going
into the Canadian Pacific tract and
nearly all are buying land. The
company will farm over 10000 acres
for nonresident purchasers on their
tract east of Calgary this season.

many Of the forest officers are in iso-
lated parts of the country and in some
cases 1t takes three weeks for an.an-
swer to be received to a letter, al
though the distance may not exceed
60 or 70 miles.
Origin of Fires.
The need for telephone lines in or
der to afford prompt means of COM
munication is more urgent in those
counties which are subject to forest
fires. The origin of such fires is al
ways an interesting problem, and
from information which has been re-
ceived is due to many and varied
causes. Hunters and campers cause
large portion of such fires; rail-
roads in the country traversed by
them, the largest proportion, and
lightning, clearing of land, ETC., the
remainder
1t is estimated that the aggregated
loss from forest fires in all parts Of
the country during the months Of
conflagration is close to $1,O00,000 a
year. and when all Of the losses are
taken into consideration the gravity
Of the situation assumes alarming
proportion, and places grave respon-
sibilities upon those who have any,
thing to do with the solving of locat-
ing and fighting forest fires.

Privileges.

The doubt of University of Chica-

as the husband of 700 wives, is the
best authority upon such domestic
matters as the treatment of children,
reminds one of story told so often by
that great English prelate, Archbishop
Magee. A Worcestershire lady was
reading the Old Testment to an aged
woman who lived at the home for old
people, and CHANGED upon the passage
concerning Solomon's household.
HAS Solomon really 700 wives?"
