Albany. n. Y, February 26.-Forme
before the Senate early next week to
testify in the Allds-Conger bribery
case. Other men prominent in the
Republican party will also be called
If the planssof Allds's counsel being
to show that the opposition to the
highway amendments which Aids is
accused Of corruptly defeating in 1901,
was made party measure.
Senator Allds's defense of the charge
of accepting a bride will be as dra-
matte as his counsel can make 1t.
Through the last three weeks he has
sat in silence while accusations were
directed against him. His only COM
munication to the Senate was his I'M
expected resignation as president pro
tenn. that he might be on the same
footing as his accuser.
The evidence submitted thus far in
behalf of Aids was presented in an
effort to show. in the first place. that
orders from the head of the Republi-
can State organization in 1901 were the
cause of his failure to press to pas
sage the bill which the bridge com
panies fought successfully for four
years.
Tho prosecution has taken much Of
the evidence of the defense as tending
to provo the assertion of Congcr that
money was demanded and received by
men who We're In control of the Legis-
lature in the years specified.
Senator Aids is expected to take
the stand Wednesday. f. a. Merritt.
tJr.. is to be recalled, and considerable
time will be consumed in his eXamina-
ton. He was an associate of Senator
Aids on tho special committee which
drafted the new highway law. In that

of bridges came up, and it is desired

Coyote Cutoff Under
Way.

That the long expected Coyote Echo
cutoff is to be made and made in the
near future seems certain from infor-
nation received from semi-official
circles. 1t is now current rumor
among local railroad people that an
order has been made appropriating
the sum of S707 ,946. % for the cutoff.
This appropriation coming upon the
heels of the approDris tion of 81. 020.
600 for the elimination of curves
beyond Yoakum and Pendleton means
that in the near future the o. R. &
N. company is to spend nearly $2,
600. 600 improving its line within this
county and in Morrow county.
AS now understood the big cutoff is
to be from Coyote to Echo. via Stand
field. 1t will eliminate 8.8 miles of
the present distance between Covote
and EohO. At this time the distance
is 35 miles and under the proposed
cutoff the distance will be reduced
to 26 miles.
Coyote is to be made the terminal
point, if reports in circulation are
correct. 1t is understood the order
calls for terminal improvements at
that place, among other things a ten
stall round house to be installed.
Just what effect this will have upon
Umatilla seems in doubt. 1t is the
general supposition however, that as
far as main line trains are concerned
Umatilla will cease to be a division
point.
Just what route the proposed cut
off will take is also matter of
speculation at this time. 1t has been
stated previously that the engineers
have figured upon three different
routes across the desert. Which route
is to be selected has not yet been
disclosed.
As to the improvements Of the
track between Yoakum and Pendleton
it is said the work to be done soon
will reduce the distance between
Yoakum and Pendleton by one and a
half miles. The maximum curvature
will be but four degrees while at the
present time there are ten degree
curves between Yoakum and Psndle-
ton. The improvements ordered also
means that the stretch of track at
Horseshoe curve will be brought up
to a standard roadbed. In the past
the ballastinR and improvement of
that stretch of track has been neglected
because of the knowledge that
change in track was inevitable. East

Big Reclamation Scheme.

Priest Rapids, Wash. jan 8.-One

Government Timber Sales

Pending timber sales from the
national forest reserves of Oregon
and Washington will mean rev,
euue to the two commonwealths OIL
more than 100000. This sun
will go to the school and road
funds Of the two states, the couD.
ties benefited being those in which
the timber grew. The distribution
of this money will mean great i'm
provement to both states.S
Sales this year will be the heav.
lest yet made from government re-
serves. Last year sales in the two
states aggregated 130,000,000 feet
board measure. This year pro-
posais have been made for the pur-
chase Of about 65O.00O,0O0 feet
Growing scarcity of timber on
private holdings is leading millmen
to the reserves for logs. This in
crease is expected to continue for
the ne1t few years until the point
is reached where only mature tim
Der will be cut.
Stumpage prices this year
charged by the government are
about So. The forestry law pro-
vides that 25 Der cent of the
stumpage revenue shall go to the
state where the forest is cut. This
means that the revenue to the two
states for the coming year from
timber cut off forest reserve lands
will be about $1,20O,000.

and the ground covered with shout
two inches of snow. While the
weather is not cold It is a hard

stockmen are beginning to haul
out barley in order to make hay
go as far as possible. Should the

will soon face serious conditions,
however, heavy losses are not an
tlcipated owing to the fact that

The Sunday News, OF Port Huron.
the especial organ of the liquor traffic
OF that city and that section of the
state, makes this declaration Ia its
issue Of last Saturday, July o:
There were more drunken men on
the streets OF Port Huron last Sunday
than we have seen before In five years
and men cannot get drunk unless they
get liquor and they cannot get liquor
unless the places where liquor Is sold
are open. And therefore there we're
phases open And under the present
state of affairs 1t won't be long until
they will all be open. There are not
only men getting liquor on Sunday
who should not get 1t but the "In-
dian" list is being violated openly and
the town is full OF DRINKS that could
be employed at good wages so that
they could take care of their families
or parents. But 80 long as we have a
mayor with strong liquor interests
this deplorable state Of affairs will
continue"
This is the status OF the "regulat-
ed" saloons Of Port Huron as openly
admitted by newspaper that now
seeks recognition as their first friend
and representative. Where now Is the
business mems association of Port
Huron. that pledged for the saloon
keepers obsarvdnces OF law? Where?
Just where it was expected it would
be-waiting In silence until the sa.
looms of that city need its assistance
again.
