There has been considerable
speculation with reference to the
construction of the Pittsburg and
Gilmore railroad as to the ulti
mate object in view. The per-
sistent rumors to the effect that
the Hill interests are backing
the road has given credence 10
the rumor that the Hill people
are looking for southern pass
to the Pacific coast so as to block
the Hartman interests and con
troll both a northern and south
ern route. The fact that survey

rumor. The railroad war which

electric plant at the mouth OF
Yankee Fork, near Salmon river,
to operate their mills and mach

power will be transmitted some

plant is located at the Yankee
Fork hot springs, and this hot
water will be used to drive the
turbin wheel together with the
water of Yankee Fork, and it
will be possible to run the plant
the year around without freez-

DREAML.AND

Of ''Thorns and Orange Blossoms as put on by the Streetor- Bryan com pany. the Phoenix Democrat says:
 Stunning gowns and beautiful hats gracefully worn by Blanche Bryan lead ing lady of the stzeeter-Bryan stock company, were striking features of "Thorns and Orange Blossoms" at the Third Avenue Theater last night.
 "This is the first opportunity have had to show any of my wardrobe, ' said Miss Bryan this morning, "and haven't by any means shown all of the dresses of which I ain proud, in this play. I have several others in reserve I think the ladies of Phoenix will ap- preciate if they will come and see then.'
 ''Thorns and Orange Blossoms" is just what the title implies. The viii lain, hero and heroine are the strongest characters and in the hands of the mem- bers of the Streeter-Bryan company every strong point is brought out.
 As Tommy Swift, a great light com edy part, Merrie Streeter appeared last night to even better advantage than he has thus far during the engagement here. His clever work kept the audi cnce laughing.

Tom Reed was playing whist on one occasion in his club in Portland. One of the party whom the "czar" did not like extravagantly had habit of car rying good deal of black realty un- der his finger nails, and the rest of his hands never looked clean. But the fel- low had good luck, which nettled Tom. Finally, almost unable to conceal his impatience. the giant speaker of the house of representatives remarked In his metallic nasal tcne of voice, Blank. if dirt was truin3s, what hand you'd haye.

miners one run to the good, but Rec. ford's hit and two errors by Dumatrait and Rheinhardt allowed Red and Feland to score, breaking up the tie and win ming the game.
 The Sox grabbed sixteen hits of Quinleven and made five errors. Miami frisked thirteen safeties off Collins ana made six errors. In several instances bits were very nearly errors, but they were the results of fielders going after e.oets they were unable to handle.
 Umpire Gamble did excellent work with the indicator and his decisions were we'll received.

Bingles from

 Redford's homer came at just the right time and he was warmly eheel st each successive time at bat. Irei- dentally Red knocked more fouls than all the other players combined. and Mike Murphy could have stretched his double into whiffe if he had been coached properly. one or more elouts. Ditto for the Miners.
 Quinleven nearly knocked the mark CT off the score board in the first inning. Unless Bedford will agree to put soft pedal on fouls, 1t would be good thing to insure neighboring windows.
 The real big surprise of the day was Slats Feland's single.
 His Umps Bert Gamble wielded the indicator in fire shape and made the grouches lock their back talk up in the safe.
 Silver King Mcclellan was the big noise on assists, but Bigando made the best of all his opportunities.
 It was good game, even if Miami did lose it on errors.

 Judge F. s. Nave established some thing of a record for himself. At his first trial at the blue rock pastime, he made five straight breaks and smashed seven out of the first eight.
 Much interest is being shown in the scatter gun game and more good shoots are expected in the near future.

ADJUSTMENTS
MAJESTIC.

"All My Fault" and "Are You an Eagle" two good farea comedies, go to make up an enjoyable double bill at the Majestic.
 'sAll My Fault,'' has to do with q bachelor who marries girl from a country town and finds that instead of enjoying quiet existence, as he has expected, he must mingle with city so- ciety to please his mother-in-law. He finally shows his wife's mother where she is wrong in forcing him to live in the city and there are many complica- tions before matters are finally straight ened out.
 "Are You an Eagle,' has to do with one Timothy Clancy, who attends an Eagle celebration and, acquiring good sized jag, brings home restaurant cook. Before matters are strengthened out, Clancy finds himself in some very uncomfortable situations.
 The Majestic players are well east in both sketches and their work was well received by last nights audiences. ' Madaline Lee sings "Angel of My Dreams" illustrated. The pictures; ?" Behind in His Rent and "A Bad Shot" are good.

 But with its good points and it's bad ,oi,ss, the game WAS a warm one from inc time Umpire Bert Gamble first yelled "Pla-a-a.y Ba-a-l-l' until the xpuing run had been scored in the Ia. half of the final act.
 i, vas oEo of those heavy hitting ssnes that the average aggregation of fans gobbe up and enjoy like q hungry tramp in a motral combat with a sir lOin steak.
 Both teams elouted the leSther hard and often. Home Run ReGford made good ard lifted one over the left cen for fence. Griffin line2 out a three seksr and there w2re number of two base smashes during the game.
 And the miners compiled triple play, with no ou.s and two on bases. This play woul2 have been a credit to Class A aggregation.
 Thisgs looked good for the Miners in the eariy stages of the game. In the first inning Graham, Rheinhardt and DOrsn connected with tho equine epi- dernus for two stations each and with .hs aid of wild throw and pass, ,se latter succeeded in crossing the pan, vith the side three tallys to the good. h the second Shirk, who reached first dive on miseue eircled on Graham E double, and the score was 4-6 with the copper diggers on top.
