BOSTON HAS FIERCE CAMPAIGN
No Party Lines, But s25O,OOo Is Spent
by Various Candidates.

Boston, Mass, Jan. 1O.-Boston Sat.
urday night wound up, except for the
finishing touches, the fercest municipal
campaign in its history. The election
Tuesday will be the first under the new
non-partisan plan and for a non.parti-
san campaign this has certainly been a
revelation to the sponsors of the new
order of things.
One of the candidates for mayor con-
fesses he has spent nearly $4,000, and
ne accuses his chief opponent of having
spent more than 100000. This charge
is not denied. The other two candi-
dates, without a ghost of chance of
election, have spent about $4,000. The
various candidates for the city council
have probably spent $4,000, so that
the cost of the campaign to the various
aspirants figures up close to a quarter
of a million dollars.
The ballots on Tuesday will bear the
names of the candidates without party
or other designation, and the campaign
has been non-partisan except so far as
the known political affiliations of the
candidates have influenced voters.
Wallowa County chieftain. [volume] (Enterprise, Or.) 1909-1911, 1910-01-13

Wallowa-In 1909 the chief advance
ment in the county was the lumber in
dustry. At the beginning of the sea-
son there were only three small mills
in the immediate vicinity of Wallowa I;
at the close of 1909 there were ten
mills, many of which have a capacity
of 20, 600 feet per day. The largest
of these mills is the Nibley- Mimnaugh
Lumber conpany's mill, located in this
city. 1t is modern band mill, with
capacity of so, feet per day.
These mills will market more than
10000, 900 feet of lumber annually, all
of which will be sent from Wallowa.
AS the lumber industry increased
rapidly in the past year the population
of the county increased. Wallowa ad-
vanced from little hamlet to a mod
ern town with many magnificent resi-
dences.
Wallowa county built modern court
house within the past year, which is
located at Enterprise.

PRELIMINARY FLIGHT A SUCCESS
Three Men and Two Women Make
Short Balloon Voyage.

Los Angeles, Jan. 10.-The big bal
loon "New York" " carrying its owner
Clifford B. Harmon; Mrs. Alvin French
and her niece, Jean French, as passen
gers, and George B. Harrison and
George Duessler, balloon pilots, landed
at Casaverduga, in the Glendale val.
ley, at 4:47 yesterday afternoon after
a flight of nearly two hours.
The landing was made with ease, and
no discomfort or danger attended any
portion of this, the initial flight of the
aeronauts who have gathered here for
the aviation meet events.
An altitude of 5000 feet was attained
and observations were taken by Mr..
Harrison and Mr.. Duessler.
When the great gas-bag was cut
loose at Huntington park at 2:55 in
the afternoon, its flight was almost
straight up until it had attained a
height of 1000 feet. Then a strong
current bore it to the northward until
1t passed out of sight beyond the haze
that lay over the mountains.
Spectators of the flight believed it
was the intention of the aeronauts to
attempt to sail over the Sierra Madre
mountains, but those on board say this
would have been impossible. At a
height of 5000 feet, another current
took the balloon to the westward, and
when they were over the Glendale val
ley the aeronauts decided to come to
earth. A distance of about % miles
was covered.

HAPPENINGS FROM AROUND oregon
NOT BUILDING LOGGING ROAD
President of Pacific Railway Declares
Grade Is First Class.

President of Pacific Railway Declares
Grade Is First Class.
Portland-"Who ever heard of log
ging road constructed at cost of S4O,-
900 per mile?"
This the question E. E. Lytle, presi-
dent of the Pacific Railway & Naviga-
tion company, propounded when asked
in regard to report emanating from
Astoria to the effct that the line being
built from Hillsboro to Tillamook will
be nothing more nor less than a log
ging road; that it is not intended for
passenger and freight business.
why, it is absurd" Mr.. Lytle con-
tinued, and laughed heartily. "Of
course the report came from Astoria I;
Astoria does not want the road built at
all. 1t never did.
1--WE are pushing the work as rapid
ly as possible. and expect TO have
trains in operation by August l. At
present l,500 men are engaged on the
work, and they are certainly doing
something" THE report has it that
the road contains too many sharp
curves, and too steep grade to make
it practical foripsssenger traffic" Mr..
Lytle was told.
Curves and grades? We have no
sleeper grade than the maximum of
the Southern Pacific to California,
which is per cent, and as for curves,
there is not one exceeding Is degrees.
You must not lose sight of the fact
that we have Is tunnels on that stretch
of road from Hillsboro to Tillamook.
These tunnels shoudld do away with
some of the grade that seems to fright
en- those who might have started the
rumor.
1.-The road will cost in the neighbor-
hood Of 81, 900, 900, including the cost of
equipment, and passenger and freight
trains will be operated to supply every
demand.
"As far as logging goes, we do not
own tract Of timber in that district.
Of course, it taps rich timber coun-
try, and logs will, of course, be haul
ed if they are offered, but it will only
be part of the business"
