Work has been commenced survey

Traction company between Pendleton
and Walla Walla. Engineer L. c. Good
win with a party of men left yesterday
for Pendleton for the purpose of sur
veying the street line there first. More
men left today AS soon as this has
been completed the surveying will be
extended on to here. AS the franchise
i'm Pendleton has been secured and most
of the right way obtained between
here and Pendleton, it is probable that
the surveying will be rushed to COM
pletion and work begun as soon as pos
sible. F.. S. IsaacS, of this city, who is
a director of the company, said today
that the weather being so poor, sur
veying work might be delayed for a
couple of days, but that as soon as it
broke up work would be Immediately
started Little trouble has been expert

from the farmers along the line all

however. and with slight result save In
one or two instances. Senator Quay of
pennsylvania enthusiastically adj
nltted that he had specula ted in sugar
and that his speculations had been
guided by his official knowledge of
what the senate intended doing with
the tariff ON sugar. Quay declared he
had not allowed his speculation in SUI
gar certificates to prejudice his Official
action, which remark brought smiles
to the faces of the spectators at the
hearing.
An instructive feature of the inves-
tigation was found in the testimony of
Henry o. Havemeyer who was then
and still is president of the sugar
trust. Mr.. Havemeyer was asked about
the relation of his trust to the great
political parties. and their state cam
paign funds. Did it contribute to the
funds of both parties? Eyes" said Mr..
Havemeyer, Eve always do that. In
the state of New York, where the de-
mocratic majority is between 10000
and $4,000, we throw it (the trusts
contribution their way. In the state of
Massachusetts,, where the republican
party is dominant, they probably have
the call. Wherever there is a dominant
