TWO MYSTERIOUS
RAILROAD SURVEYS
LEWISTON NOW SEES coNNEc-
TloN BETWEEN p. a G. AND
NORTH COAST.

The Lewiston Tribune OF Noyem-
Der 20 says crew OF Pittsburg a
Gilmore surveyors. under charge OF
Engineer Martz, who had been en-
gagged for four months on the Sal
mon river survey, passed through
Lewiston November "a on their way
to Salmon City 10 work over the
first 40 miles OF the line out OF Sal
mon City.
As location work has been done
on the entire line from Salmon City
to Whltebird, there seems not the
slightest doubt that Engineer Martz'
work win be to place the forty mile
section in shape for construction. 1t
Is stated that before the engineer
completes his work the company will
have completed that section OF the
road from Afmstead, Montana, TO
Salmon City. and viii Immediately
award the contract for the forty
miles that will lead directly into the
Salmon river canyon. This section
of the road win reach the town OF
Shoup and all the rightof-way has
been purchased.
There are still two surveying crews
remaining In the whitebird district
and they are running the line on
down the Salmon to the Snake river.
Inquiry has disclosed says the
Tribune. that the great expense ac-
companying the running OF the line
down the Salmon river from Salmon
City and thoroughness OF the work,
confirm the views that the Pitts
burg & Gilmore Is an auxiliary OF
one of the big railroad companies.
The three crews employed number
65 men and the company used eight
boats for the accommodation OF the
two crews that worked down the
river. Each OF these boats Is forty
feet In length and ten feet wide. At
points both sides of the river we're
surveyed. These crws carried the
line to Hot Springs and were met
there by the third crew, who had TAX
on the field at Whitebird. Conserva-
tive estimate as to the daily expense
OF the engineering work has been
$500. which would make the total out
lay up to this time over $4,000.
while SO far as planned these crews
are to be kept steadily employed
throughout the winter. The finan-
cial amount involved II has been sug-
gested would forbid the idea the
company Is local one organized
simply to build branch into the
Salmon City section. Il is further
explained that the country now be-

INSTALL COURSES
IN AGRICULTURE
HIGH SCHOOLS ADDING NEW
DEPARTMENT-DEMANp FOR
o. A. C. GRADUATES.

The introduction of Industrial
courses in the public schools of the
state is a new phase of Industrial
activity which will greatly increase
the demand for graduates of the in
dustrial colleges. At the present
Time several of the leading high
schools of the state are preparing
courses which will be installed in
the immediate future. Several
schools are asking the assistance of
the college in the arrangement of
this work. This means that the call
for trained men and women. now so
great that it cannot be met, will be
greatly increased.
The Medford high school has AL
ready established course in agri-
culture which is in charge of s. B.
Hail who graduated from the college
last year. Pendleton high school
mas outlined course which will be
installed as soon as an instructor
can be secured. Crook county high
school and many others have signi.
fled an intention of taking I'D the
work at an early date.
The college is anxious to fill the
positions which are waiting on all
sides for its graduates, but in order
to do so 1t must have the young
men and women to train.
The demand is here; the opportun
ity is here; only the men and wo.
men are wanting.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor.
vallis.-The great demand now be.
ing made upon the Oregon Agricul.
tural College for young men and wo
men equipped to fill important pos
itions in industrial and educational
fields is unprecedented.

IF IT DISAPPEARS ITS EyzEMA
How to Tell Whether Skin Affection
is an Inherited Blood Disease or
Not.


Sometimes 1t is hard to determine
whether a skin affection is a sign of
blood disorder or simply form of
eczema. Even physicians are often
puzzled in their diagnosis. The best
way for any one afflicted is to go to
w. l.. Gokay or any druggist who han
dies pure drugs and obtain so cents
worth of poslam. Apply this, and If
the itching stops at once and the
trouble is cured in few days 1t may
be set down as having been eczema,
as this is the way poslam acts in the
worst cases of eczema and in curing
acne, herpes, blotches, letter piles,
salt rheum. rash, BARRIERS itch and
other forms of itch, scaly scalp, and
all surface skin affections.
Those who will write to the Emer-
gency Laboratories, No. 80 West 25th
street, New York, can secure, by mail
free of charge, a supply sufficient to
cure a small eczema surface or clear
a complexion overnight and remove
pimples in twenty-four hours.

He told me about this one afternoon
when l visited him at his ONCE. One
OF the ONCE boys hung about n We
talked. In way that l did not like,
and cautioned Majors lest he be over
heard and Halliday warned. but he
scoifed at my fears and said he trusted
the boy. Nevertheless. I didn't like
the CLEAN that came into the boys
eyes when he heard what Majors had
to say about Halliday. Things looked
threatening for the delegate. I knew
that he was \ dangerous character
and l feared that he might try to es-
cape from the net that Majors was
weaving about him by trying to silence
Majors in, the only way that was pos
sible.
That night Majors had promised to
call ON me at my hotel to sample .
bottle of 3O-year-old liquor that .
friend in the revenue service had sent
me from Kentucky. l had invited
Majors more to get him away from his
work than with any idea that he would
care especially for the liquor, As I
knew that he was temperate in all his
tastes and habits. knew that he
needed the rest, that he was overtax.

The climax Of the strike came the
following day when one of the trains
was derailed and the fireman and en-
gineer. who were strike-breakers, were
killed. Majors went in person to the
scene Of the wreck to investigate. 1t
didn't take prolonged examination
to determine that the wreck was the
result of direct and premeditated de-
sign. This aroused every drop Of
fighting blood in my friend, and he set
