How Large Crowds Oan
Be Handled at Portland
Good Roads Meet
POKTLAXI), Or., August 3. Seven
thousand people iu -U miuuten. That's
the rate at winch the various n ran spol
iation interests of Portland have as
Huri'd the directors of the county club
and livestock show that the erowdM at
tending that event in Septoinber will
le handled. Kvery day at the grounds
is busier than the one preceding. J he
intense interest of the whole north
west is evidenced by the great number
of entries alrendy made, while the na
tional interest is shown by :i heavy ad
vance correspondence from every part
of tho lTnited States.
linn. Wilbur K. Newell, president of
the Oregon state board of horticulture,
and equally well known in Washington,
has at the refpiest of the Oregon De
velopment league condensed his ideas
on good roads into I MO words and they
tell the story:
Tor Better Highways.
"Bad roads nullify advertising, repel
immigration, increase cost- of living,
render the automobile useless, and will
deprive the farmer of rural free deliv
ery. "Stale aid and supervision of road
construction is essential.
"In equity because n public bene
fit; state should pay i!" per cent of the
cost, county 5(1 per cent and the adja
cent property 25 per cent.
" Kor thoroughness Trained engin
eers and si rict supervision of all work.
"For economy Levy taxes and pay
as we go. or on short time certificate
plan.'
"For education liegular ami corre
spondence courses in road . building at
Oregon agricultural college and Uni
versity of Oregon.
"Let us build good roads all summer
instead of talking about thema II win
ter.
The Oregon good roads conference!
will convene promptly at N::til a. in.!
Tuendny, August U, iu the convention
hall of the Portland Commercial club,
sixth floor. Another meeting will be
held at - o'clock and perhaps an eve
ning session. A feature of the conven
tion will he the attendance of many
mad supervisors and practical road
officials.
A great cement plant is to be built
in Portland, the first instance iu Amer
ica in which Portland cement has been
manufactured in a city of that name.!
Portland and Salt Lake capitalists have'
organized a company wil h capital of
$1,'nli,iHm, and the limerock will be,
brought from Itoseburg, where they!
own a tract of 100 acres of choice rock.!
Big Cemeut Plant. i
One thousand barrels of cement a day I
will be manufactured at the beginning.
but the plant is so designed that thisi
capacity can be doubled at any time
with very slight change. Iiuihliugs and
grounds will occupy a site of 15 acres
in the suburbs of Portland, with both
rail and water transportation.
t'. W. Nibley and associates of Salt
Lake City hold one-half the stock, with
Portland capitalists the other half. Mr.
Nibley has extensive interests in Ptah,
Idaho, Oregon and California, anil is
president of the I'nimi Cement company
at Devil's Slide, Ptah. which has man
ufaetured 2000 -barrels a day during
two years of successful and profitable
operation.
Building permits exceeding $1,000,000
were issued iu Portland during July, nn
increase of $:tno,n00 as compared with
that month last year. Transfers of
choice business properties were never
so numerous, uor building so active.
MYSTERY STILL VEILS
ASSAITi7TON TEACHER
fiALH'K, Or., August .1. An atmos
phere of mystery still hangs around
the mountain cabin out in Gal ice mining
camp, where Miss Km in a liobinson, a
former Portland school teacher, wat
brutally assaulted by an unknown
masked man two weeks ago. Though
Sheriff Hussell and his deputies made
a diligent and thorough search, they
have not hern able to locate even a
semblance of a elm1, and the perpetrator
of the cowardly deed is still at large.
Tin mnners of the camp also took it
upon themselves to scour the woods and
hold up every suspicious character, who
entered or left Cilice shortly after the
assault, but were unsuccessful, though
a number of suspects were required to
give detailed accounts of themselves.
Miss liobinson will add nothing to
what has alteady been published.

A White Girl Burled on
Graves Creek Exhumed
by Indians
With regard to the origin of the name
"Josephine," II. D. Harkness of Lib
erty, Wash., writes as follows to George
11. Parker, the authar of the recent ar
ticle on this subject in the Outlook:
Dear Sir: In the Pacific Outlook of
July 11 1 notice an article signed by
you ou the origin of the name of Jo
sephine county. I was a resident of
Josephine county for many years, living
in the vicinity of Lei a ml and Grave
Creek from IS5( to 18S9, and ame some
what familiar with its early history,
especially with regard to that portion
of your article dealing with those two
places. The story is handed down to
us as follows:
Dng Up Remains.
Some peoplo passing through to the
Willamette valley camped ou Grave
creek, and white there a young woman
of the company died of consumption
and was buried under the largo white
oak tree yon mentioned. Then, fearing
the Indian wnud dig up the body, they
herded their work oxen over her grave.
Rut, notwithstanding all their precau
tions, the Indians did find tho grave
and dug up tho remains (presumably for
the clothing) and hung the body over
one of the limbs of the oak tree, where
other travelers .found it and reburied
it, but n a one seems to know just where.
The identity of the grave is lost.
Some time after theso events, hix or
seven Indians were killed then, and as
the old grave had not been filled up and
the Indians had made (juite nn excava
tion in digging up the girl's remains
with their rude instruments, the bodies
of the dead Indians were thrown into
the old grave and covered up, but not
erv deeplv, I imagine, as it was said
that some of their feet stuck out of the
r nut ml some time later. At any rate,
when I left the old ranch the outlines
of the graves could be readily seen.
It Was Fort Leland.
The old postoffice was called Leland.
At our time there were quite a number
of volunteers stationed there and it was
i-alled Port Leland. That was iu 1855.
flic cauutv was said to have taken its
name from the girl 's second name
osephiue and t he creek was called
Grave on account of people wishing to
lesignate is at "the creek where the
grave is." The stream was really
named Leland creek, but it never lost
its original name of Grave creek.
lames II. Twogood, now a resident
of Itoise 'ity, Idaho, could probably
give you more of the facts, as he lived
there as earlv as 1-S;VJ, I think, liarnov
Simmons of Itfil Bluff, Cnl if he is
living, could nlso give you valuable in
formation of early days, as he is said
to have built the first log cabin an the
reek.
Hoping this may be of interest to
you, I remain, very respectfully.

The other day I henrd a couple of

uue of them gravely asserting that
tUey were different named for the nuiue
fabric," said a New York Importer.
The assertion was very far out of
the way. The elolb known as alpttea.
If genuine. coineK from the wool of the
niiluial of the Maine name, which
thrives only In the Andean regions
of 1'cru and Chile In South America.
