Tuesday suppressed excitement throbbed In the breast of overy owner of a gus wagon, from the one-lung llivver on up to the big twin six, when the word was passed around that a tank car of gasoline had ar rived for the Copeland and Field houso companies. Tho car was brought In from the main line to the track on Columbia, street and the rush for. the precious fluid started. Almost anything thai would hold gasoline. Including the family teakettle, was pressed into sorvide. Auto tanks were quickly filled and cans were likewise filled aud loaded into' the car for emerg ency. Some of the boys are said to have hurriedly emptied their moon shine and had the bottles filled with gas. but the Mist is inclined to dis credit this part of the story. for once .anyway St. Helens waa surfeited with gasoline and no limit was placed on the amount each In dividual might buy. He could go tbe limit of bis bank account or Docket book. . Thia is a car lone delayed In tran sit-tram.

Outside Capital has Intermit. it self to the extent of Duttinir nrnaruu.- tors In the field and these men have ueen working along m a quiet way i. wuia weens in prospect work. v What they have really discovered however, Is ro far carefully conceal ed under their hats. The facts remain that large bodies of "bog" Iron ore hive been discov ered and If It can be worked at a profit it will certainly be to Columbia county's advantage. There 1. ..ih I'o bo an area of the stuff almost nn- nmiiea in quantity and if the quality Is there another Industry of value is added to our county. Moro or less quartz lecations hare been filed in the county clerk's of fice In the past two months, but the climax of location filings waa made last Tuesday when 126 notices of mcauon wero placed on file by Hat tie B. Lawrence on behalf of 126 dif ferent persons. And It is not a spasm of excitement by residents of the bounty rushing into the mining game, as the nam is on all of the notices filed are new to this county and with a possible few exceptions are all out siders msofar as being residents of the county. Approximately 2526 r.cres are cor. ered by the notices filed in the clerk's office and the -filing fees amounted to $138.70, the largest day's busi ness alcng this line Clerk Hunt has hadin many months. A claim cov ers a fraction over twenty acres. WE'LL TELL THE WORLD IT WAS SOME HOT Yes we started to tell you It was hot, but we won't do it, for Ed.

Muyor Lake headed the list with $5000 and euch councilman promptly doubled and quadrupled 'ho amount. John Dateman, H. K. McCormlck and T. B. Lott were ap pointed as a committee to raise the money for the hydroplanes and set out some trees on the camp ground site. All members of the new city offi cial faintly are woll known and ably iiuulified to fill their respective of fices. Mayor Lake is not unused to handling the steam roller in the ex ecutive chair. He Is a former presf dent of the city council. Councilman Wellington, while new in the capacity of city official, la an executive officer of rare ability. While serving Uncle Sam Ui the navy he was frequently sole and executive commander of as high as 16,000 men at one and the same time. Councilman Veaile Is a young man of sterling worth and' in tegrity. Ho has never before held a city office, but In viow of the fact that he Is one of the court house gang immediately qualifies him for anything ho wants to tackle? Council man VanOrshoven is one of the de funct cltv officials, having held the office of city engineer under the old regime. Being yet a young man, his friends felt that he should have a chance to reform hence his election to the new council. Councilman Mor ton has had experience as an official of the city, having previously served in both the capacity or mayor ana councilman. The new council will meet In reg ular session Monday night. . On mo tion it waa decided to allow the for mer council "nd mayor to attend the meetings and act In an advisory ca pacity, but not to have concurront Jurisdiction. M.
