It's clam-shell bucket lifts a vard and a half of earth at each "bite" and the steel cables at tached thereto have a lifting strength of nearly 1 S.000 pounds. This dredge is making a clear channel 34 feet wide, with an average depth of 8 feet. One and one-half miles of this enlarged channel is already completed and 4 Vfc miles are yet to be dredged. This work is progress ing night and day. Nine miles of irrigation ditch has boon built and men are now working on ten miles more. For a city water supply a reservoir of 175,000 gallons capacity is being built on the bill north of town. This will be sup plied by a pump of 10,000 gallons capacity, from a well 2000 feet deep. In which the water now stands with in a few feet of the top. Six miles of three-phase electric transmission light and power line it being put In from the 100 horse power plant at tho head of the val ley, which now supplies Oakland am' Sutherlin with electric lights.

About 40 miles of woven wire fence protects the 30.000 trees already planted. The leading varie ties are Spitzenberg and Newtown Pippin apples, with about 20 per cent of pears. The town of Sutherlin is inviting in its modern appearance, with good streets, cement sidewalks, electric street and residence lights, and one of the most up-to-date hotels in Southern Oregon. Warehouses, good stores, an express office, livery barn, planing mill, box factory anil plumbing shop offer necessary busi ness facilities. Many bungalow resi dences are being constructed. That business is substantial here is shown by the fact that the Sutherlin Na tional Hank is now building a two story brick and stone building 24x64 feet III size. A new warehouse Is nearly completed. A Sio.non school house Is to be erected this season; also an opera house 40x1 00.

A small sawmill is in operation at the edge of the valley, and a 30 barrel rapacity flour mill is conven iently near.

This Is looted on the spot formerly occupied by the home of Mrs. U'aite's parents, for whom tho valley was named. Here Mr. Waite has revalued a tract of some 41100 acres, and has built a home which, with Its environment, rivals in beauty and surpasses in comfort n.anv an English manor. No mere description can perl ray its charms, as it overlooks this lovely valley.

In fact. since the present council vriu placed In charge of the city government the feature of its meetings has been the unvarying expeditloustiess and celer ity with which It has transacted busi ness. During the regime of the pre vious councils nearly every regular meeting was prolonged, often un necessarily, until lifter 10 or 11 o' clock p. m. Nowadays, however, there la seldom a meeting that lasts until 9 o'clock. Of course, It must bo takon Into consideration that there ure now four regular meetings each month as against only two here tofore, dividing tho biiBlnesg Into smaller amounts, but at that the present council utilizes every minute of time ns none of Its predecessors attempted to do.

The ordinance was passed without a dis senting vote In tho bnro ignorum present, and on the 17th or this month It will go Into effect.

The electric supply for the new system Is to cost the city $120 per month, displacing 8 arc lights for which the city has been paying $57. 50 per month. Each of the f9 Iron lamp posts is to be equipped with flvo 2 5-cnndlo power Tungsten lights, which are to ho turned on at dusk. At midnight four or tho five lights of each cluster are to be turned off by tho night policeman hy meaiiB of a switch to he Installed at Kendall llros.' local olllce. The re maining light Is not to he extin guished until dawn. The tenure or the contract Is threo years. Tho expense to the city or this In novation Is to bo no more than the amount tor electric current. Repairs, renewals and all other Itoms or main tenance are to bo at tho expense of citizens, who have pledged the pay ment of monthly sums, aggregating a total of nearly $40. Miscellaneous.

WOLLIONHEItO KKMOVEI) AS ADMINISTRATOR, By a decree of Countv .Tiidee Wonacott, Issued Monday evening, H. Wollenberg is removed as admin istrator of the eatateB of 8. Marks Co., (Samuel Marks and Asher Marks, both deceased), and Marks and Wollenberg, comprised of him self and Samuol Marks. This action was taken on the petition of the heirs of Samuel Marks, represented by Attorney C. S. Jackson, of thiB city, and Judge K. B. Watson, of Portland. The hearing of the case began before Judge Wonacott early ' last full. The decree In writing Is combined with the petition and comprises a voluminous document, dealing with a mass of complications that prac tically inhibit an explanation In simple form. Some of its Innumera ble phases barken back to the time, whon Asher Marks was the adminis trator of the estate of 8. Marks & Co. Epitomized, Judge Wonncott's decree holds Wollenberg disqualified under the law to act as administra tor of the two estates for two rea sons, namely: (1) He wns one of tho Burettes on the bond of Asher Marks, whom he succeeded as ad ministrator, and (2) as a creditor of tho ostato of a. Marks ft Co. he created a conflict by Inability to recnncllo bis personal Interest with the Impartial duties which such ad ministration required. He Is not charged, however, with having done anything Illegally. . Who will succeed Mr. Wollenberg ns admlnlBtrntor Is wholly a matter of guesswork at the present time. Ititlgo Wonacott this afternoon stated that this matter rested with the heirs and the creditors, who would probnbly petition for a new appointment In a few days. The valuo of the property Involved has been ostlmnted as high as $100,000, against which there are claims that may absorb at least half of It. Mr. Wollenberg holds the heaviest of these claims. The removal of Mr. Wollenberg Is tho third vitally Important legal de cision rendered In this caBe. The llrst was that of Judge McBrlde, of the Circuit Court of Clackamas coun ty, setting aside the quit claim deeds executed by two Russian heirs of Hamuol Mnrks for considerations of $5000. The second wub that of the Oregon Supreme Court sustaining Judge Mcllrlde. It was alleged that these deeds wore fraudulently ob tained by Asher Marks, who was charged with misrepresenting the true valuo of Samuel Marks' estate In order to get a lnrger Bhare for himself. How much of the estate the direct descendants of these heirs will got after all claims are Battled and litigation paid for Is problemati cal, but Mr. Wollenberg Is quoted as saying that It will be only a few thousand dollars at the most. 4. .j. .( .j. .j. 4 All ladles who are willing 4 I to assist In preparing the sup- 4 Wednesday, Feb. 16, will JU f- please phoHe No. 2023, not 4 J later than next Monday noon-. 4 4.
