LA GRANDE RAILROAD SHOPS
WILL BE ENLARGED

La Grande Ore.-The construction
OF new railway shops at La Grande is
certain. The main details of. the pro-
jected improvements were given out
by Superintendent of Motive Power
J. F. Graham previous to his return
ing to Portland. The plans are com
pleted and the drawings and details
are ready for the beginning of work
as soon as possible in the spring. BY
no means the least important matter
in connection with the construction
Of the railway shops at La Grande is
the fact that the working capacity OF
the shops, the equipment and other
adjuncts will be fully three times
more than at the present time
The number of machinists employ
ed over the present will be about 30
or 40
THE shops at Albina are over
crowded" said Mr. Graham. "and
the plan is to relieve this congestion
as far as possible by extending the
facilities at Ia Grande.
"It is a probability" Graham stat
ed. that the motive power for the
new shops will be electricity instead
Of steam. In that event the pripci-
pal pieces Of machinery will be ope-
rated each with an individual motor.
In this manner much overhead shaft
ing and entanglements of gearing win
be eliminated"

MAY BE ANOTHER SALEM
PORTLAND ELECTRIC ROAD

Salem, ore.-Salem representatives
of the WEIGH interests have intimated
that those behind what are known as
the Welch lines contemplate the con-
struction of an electric line to Port
land from Salem, passing through
Silverton, then leading north through
the Molalla valley, connecting with
the lines projected for that district,
thence TO Oregon City and down the
, east side of the river into Portland.
across the structure which is to sup
plant the present Steel bridge.
That the Welch lines will also even
tually be a part OF a system with the
Salem, Falls City & Western, as soon
as a bridge can be put across the riv-
er at this point. so that the Falls City
line can enter. is also considered alto
gether probable, which. with the Sa-
lem and Falls City extending west
ward through the rich Siletz coun-
try to the coast, will make n direct
connection between Portland and the
coast country.
1t is conceded that this system as
proposed is not to be Immediately
consummated. but Is a general plan
to be kept in view and ultimately
completed. The Welch interests are
those which are operating the Eu-
gene & Eastern railway. and which Is
tension north to Salem from Eugene.

DOG TRAVELLER LOSES
PET WOLF IN EUGENE

William Brown Of st. Johns, n F.,
who is travelling around the world
with four dogs and a tame wolf. an
account of the trip being given in
Mondays Guard, Brown having ar
rived in Eugene on that day, will have
to make the remainder of the trip to
Los Angeles without the wolf, for the
animal was killed in Eugene this
morning.
Brown decided to stay in Eugene
several days to allow one of the dogs
it had with one of it's mates in AL
bany a few days ago. The animals
are usually kept in a barn, but this
morning the wolf and one of the dogs
got out and were wandering about the
streets in the western part of the city
when they were seen by a physician
who lives at the corner of West Ninth
and Lincoln streets The doctor
thinking the wolf had wandered from
the hills into the city, and had ta-
ken up with a town dog, borrowed a
neighbor's gun and killed the ami
NAL. Later Brown appeared and ask
ed the physician IL he had seen the
dog and wolf, and was told that he
had shot the wolf. The medico ex-
planned that the animal had one Of
his chickens in its mouth and think
ing it wild, shot it. Brown threaten
ed dire vengeance upon the doctor,
and went down town to look for the
chief OF police.-Eugene Guard.

WARS DUE TO RICH
SAYS MAURICE HEWLETT

Dondon.-Maurice Hewlett, the nov
elist, has entered the election fight
with a two-column manifesto address
ed to "Workingmen of England" in
which, describing himself as zone of
yourselves" he reminds the. workers
that they form the overwhelming
majority of the electorate, and can
gain everything they want by two
strokes of the pencil in the polling
booth.
Mr.. Hewlett declares that he in
tends to vote for a liberal or a labor
ite, because "ths house of lords is a
preposterous assembly. which must be
abolished in favor of an elected body"
He denounces protectionism as the
capitalists policy. because it enables
the creation of rings, corners and
trusts, "as they have in the United
States, and God keep US from such
mischief as that
Mr.. Hewlett declares that the mon
strous expenditure for armaments has
been maintained solely in the inter-
ests of the wealthier classes, "but for
whom" he adds, wars would cease" "

KHARTOUM TOURISTS
MUCH MORE PLENTIFUL

Cairo.-rourist bookings to Khar-
toum are already larger than usual.
1t is difficult for those who visit
Khartoum to understand all It means
to get them there and provide for
them. Only those who know the coun-
try can understand what il involves
in conveying them in comfort and
comparative luxury and providing
them at a place surrounded by hun
dreds of miles 'of desert in every di-
rection.
A further attraction is no doubt the
glorious climate in the winter-the
certainty of brilliant sunshine, the
desert air. keen and bracing and so
extraordinarily dry that blankets, etc,
will crackle and sparkle with elec-
triclty continually when handled-a
unique place for persons with con-
sumption or rheumatic tendencies.

from Judith Gap to their ranches
