HILL PLANNING
To REACH
FRISCO
HARTMAN TRYING TO CUT
HIM OFF-THlS Is TAKEN TO
BE REAL MO-. BEHIND
THE HOT FIGHT FOR DES-
CHUTES ROUTE.
iax United Presa.l

PORTLAND, July 3O.--It is be-
lieved in railroad circles today that
the battle between the Hill and
Hartman interests for the Des-
chutes river line means the begin
ming Of the advancement cATahe
Hill lines toward San Francis>S.
1t is reported that Hill plans to
extend line down the coast,
where possibly It will form con-
nections with Gould's new West
ern Pacific at San Francisco, thus
opening titanic struggle to dis
lodge Hartman from his present
firm control of the coast business
and also shake his grip on trans.
continental traffic through the GEN.
trail states.
The intense action and great ac-
tivity by both parties in the Des-
chute fight is believed to lend col
or to this latest report.
John d. Porter of Spokane, who
is building railroad supposedly
for Hill in the Deschute canon,
said today:
"Harriman's agents are offering
AuOoipuc PiiNSo w PiSBCLSy uOiN-
ers along our right of way and are
offering to protect them from liti-
cation If they will sell rights al
ready decided to. u.s.
Porter Bros. have opened an Of
flee at The Dalles. Porter denied
vehemently that he ever offered to
sell his interest in the Oregon
Trunk to Hartman, and said:
Our firm is going to build a
real railroad into central Oregon
and we are moving large forces of
men for that purpose. Our rights
are secured and we are not afraid
of Hartman"
He declined to discuss his back
ers, though he said he does nor
represent Hill. The Porters are
planning to get the northern d.
vision of the Deschutes line COM
pleted so that 1t can be used In
transporting supplies and material
for further work.

THOUGHT CHECK GONE;
FOUND IN HIS SOCK

Booze had a sort of paralyzing
effect on James Harkom, a saw
mill laborer from North Yakima,
last night. He hurried into the
station as fast as an over ample
jag would permit and asserted his
belief that he had lost check for
$3.50 he had slipped inside his sock
for safe keeping. He was told to
disrobe and the valued paper was
found intact, but for the world
poor James couldn't feel the check
and was pretty well frightened.

 At the annual meeting of the Eccle- siastical society at church here on Monday of this week, the following officers were elected for the year ensu- ing: Committee, Edward 0. Sperry, Edward M. Taylor, Michael M. Shirk ; clerk and treasurer, Sherman Cogswell. Rev J. E. Herman had previously handed his resignation to the commit tee, to take effect on April 1, 1909. The envelope system, which was adopted year ago for the support of the gospel, is adopted for the coming year as the receipts .show an increase in the treasury under the new system. The finance seem to be in good shape and the salary of the pastor for the coming year is assured thereby. Who will be the next to accept it?
 Durward E. Grannis moves his fam fly, this week, from the cottage he has occupied at the foot of Lake Waramaug in the home in the village now occu- pied by his father and mother, who will remain. Thus the house will be doubly occupied by father and son, and by the present condition of the elder J. E. Grannls, seems proper and right.
