went to see th e master of stage craft.
TEnnery, who by the way has mad<
more money in dealing in blood-curdl
ing plays than either Scribe or Sardou
higher professors of the art, anft sug
gested that "Strogoff" would do for th*
■stage. D'Ennery read the book, foone
: t interesting, but said that if adapted
"or the stage the public would never
•'.tand the burning of the naptha res
ervoirs and the river of fire,
out," said the doctor. , •
"Better have these impossibilities
cut out," said the doctor.
"Tuey are not impossibilities." re
plied Verne, "and you will find that
in the next century the word 'impos
sible' will have to be blotted from the
dictionary. You will yet see come to
pass events as strange as any found
in my stories —in fact my stories will
appear like predictions."
y. R. & N. WILL EXPEND CONSID
ERABLE MONEY IN CHANGING
FROM COAL TO OIL.
All Locomotives Will Have to be Al
tered —New Fuel Will Prove
Big Saving.
Estimates showing the cost of sub
stituting oil for coal as fuel on the
locomotives of the O. R. & N. and
the Southern Pacific company's lines
in Oregon and Washington place it at
$150,000, and it is understood that the
executive board of the Harriman
system has authorized the expendi
ture for the betterment of the ser
vice. s It has been known for some
time that the Harriman lines in this
territory would adopt the liquid fuel,
not entirely because of its cheapness,
but owing to the advantages from the
standpoint of cleanliness, says the
Portland Telegram.
The change will probably be warmly
welcomed by the passenger depart
ment, for it has been proved that with
the use of oil traveling is made more
comfortable, and it means less work
! for the men in the shops. To the fire
men it is a boon.
The reason railroads give for failure
to adopt oil earlier was the fear that
the supply might become exhausted or
fall off to such an extent that the
price would become prohibitive.
Ignorance Was Expensive.
In the early experiments there was
but slight knowledge of the sub
stance as fuel, which resulted in the
speedy burning out of crownsheets.
The use of oil on locomotives was in
troduced as earlj- as 1885 on two lo
comotives on the Southern Pacific
system in California, which were
operated successfully with much the
same style of burners as are in use
now, but the fuel cost $2 a barrel,
and even at that price was regarded
more valuable for refining. So in view
of its cost and the belief that the
supply was limited and would not
warrant the expense of establishing
tanks along the line, the engines were
changed back to coal burners.
So much attention is given to oil
in the northwest by railroads that all
reports of discoveries of the fluid in
any of the districts are investigated.
While oil can be landed from Califor
nia points on a basis that makes
it decidedly cheaper to burn than coal,
it will still prove an expensive fuel
for the O. R. & N., owing to the ne
cessity of the long haul from Port
land to points of distribution In
eastern Oregon and Washington.
Will Employ Steamers and Barges.
Tank steamers will be employed to
carry the oil from the south, and it
will "oe pumped into two immense
tanks at Albina. To all tanks as far
as The Dalles it will be transported
in barges, but beyond that point tank
cars must be used.
It is estimated that an expenditure
of $500 is necessary to alter each lo
comotive. This includes also the cost
of the tank and installing it. The fuel
is being burned to advantage on
the line of the Astoria & Columbia
River railroad, and for two years was
the only fuel on the Columbia South
ern before the control of that line
passed to the Harriman system; since
then it has been continued.
0. R. & N. FILES SUIT
Still Fight Assessment in Umatilla
County.
PENDLETON Nov. 3.—The Oregon
Railroad & Navigation company today
filed a suit in equity in the circuit
court of this district for the purpose
of showing that the assessment of
$12,000 per mile upon their road is un
just.
When the filing of the suit in equity
commences another chapter of the
legal war that has been waged for
the past year or more between the
railroad company and the county,
and in which the latter has been sig
nally successful so far. What the
outcome of the coming fight will be
remains to be seen. It is barely pos
sible that the matter may be adjusted
without having the case tried out.
VERNE'S PREDICTION.
Novelist Prophesied Recent Naptha
Fires of Caucasus Revolt.
PARIS. Nov. 3. —There has been a
good deal of talk about the marvelous
predictions of Jules Verne who in his
"Michael Strogoff, Courier of the Czar,"
described the burning of the reser
voirs of naptha in the Caucasus, the
river of fire, and even the revolt of
the Tartars. These were not predic
tions in the strict sense, but fore
casts and the strange thing is that
the novelist himself believed that
what he imagined and forecast would
come to pass in due course of time.
TOWN TOPICS
Five Hundred Club—The Five Hun
dred club met this afternoon at the

Palouse Street Paved —The paving

that thoroughfare presents a more
citified appearance than it did a few
weeks ago. Inspector E. E. Sauze

cording to specifications.
West In Arms At Graft.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.—President J.
J. Hill of the Great Northern said to
day that the west was decidedly
worked up over the graft as brought
out by the insurance investigations in
this city, as well as other recent hap
penings.
"The western country is very much
disturbed," said Mr. Hill, "over the
methods of high finance that have been
revealed. They do not like to see
business conducted as it is proved it
has been conducted. Confidence has
been shaken, and the result may be
some stringent legislation."

when he undertakes a case there is no
such thing as failure.

cessful in the treatment of all the pe
culiar ailments of women, and has
saved hundreds from the operating

perience are at the service of
the sufferer. His offices In the Hotel

tain cure is always possible under his
treatment and advice.
MORE UPPER RIVER BOATS
STEAMER HANNAFORD WILL EN
TER INTO SERVICE WITH THE
PORTAGE RAILROAD.
Portland Navigation Companies Talk
ing of Building New Boats for
Upper River Trade.
The steamer Hannaford, belonging
to the Northern Pacific Railway com
pany, will be placed in commission on
the upper Columbia and Snake rivers
Monday, carrying grain to the port
age road. The vessel will be in com
mand of Captain Baughman, who
has resigned his position as master of
the Telephone. The captain will leave
Portland on Sunday to take the Han
naford down from Kennewick on her
first trip to the portage road, at which
point she will connect with the Regu
lator line of from Portland.
The Hannaford has been out of
commission for a number of years, but
recently was overhauled and put in
fine condition. She can carry almost
200 tons of grain. With the Mountain
Gem and Columbia also in service on
the same route the transportation fa
cilities on the upper river will be
almost adequate to handle the heavy
traffic. But when the work on the
new railroad down the north bank of
the Columbia gets thoroughly under
way business will greatly increase.
Believing that such will be the case
representatives of a number of the
Portland navigation companies are
strongly talking of building other ves
sels to place in service up this way.
In early days the Hannaford was
operated on the Snake river by the
Northern Pacific in opposition' to
the steamers owned by the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation company.
When in service this time she will be
running in opposition to the O. R. &
N. railroad.
