floLcmiti City. March 13. (To the Ed
itor.) Through your paper I wish to say
to those people wno iiave unuerai
spring on their places, or know where
such ipringl exist in thi oounty, anu
will let me know by letter or otherwise,
I will cause the waters to be analyzed if
desirable and tend the results to the
parties interested. My object la to nave
the varioua place examined in reference
to gas, oil, sulphur, soda and other val
uable properties.
There are some poison springs in this
county; one on Tide creek, and one on
the Barr place, on Lower Clatakanie.
There is an oil spring on Upper Neha-
lem. lhta i am tota, anu. oeiievo w im
true. . ' .
I have bad the waters of several
mineral springs tested, which are lo
cated near here. One chalybeate spring,
one which contain gas. I have stated
in Th a Mist that I would show tlvese
places to anyone who wished to see them.
I have been in this county a good
many years, and have made an exami
nation of the timber, coal iron and other
minerals, and am of the opinion that If
our resources were properly made known
to men of capiul at once the develop
ment would be made of the things
spoken of. Our first need ia railroads to
take the timber out of the way in order
that farms can be opened and tbeir pro
ducts Uken to market. One more thing
I wish to say is that thi county has
been in sUtu quo since the world began,
and will remain the eame indefinitely
unless the timber, coal, iron, oil and
gas is used to better advantage than
iormerly. C Cr. Caplxs.
Record Chattel Mortage.
Hereafter, under the law, the chattel
mortage must be recorded in the office
of the county recorder. This will prove
to be a matter of revenue, as it costs
more for. recording than it did when
they simply required filing inthe coun
ty clerk's office. It required fifty cents
to pay for simply filing, but the record
ing run from one to two dollars, accord
ing to the amount of work on the instru
ment. ., . - - :

We are endeavoring to improve me news
service of the paper each week, and we
feel tbat onr efforts are not altogether in
vain. We want to put our paper into
several hundred more homes in this
county during the present year, and a lit
tle moral assiaUnce from onr friends will
be a great help, and will be duly appre
ciated. Thi Mist give all the local and
