    OREGON NEWS NOTES
OF GENERAUNTEREST
Events Occurring Throughout
the State During the Past
Week.
AFTER TUR.NOW WITH DOGS
Two Young Portlanders Tako Blood
hounds on Grim Errand.
Portland. Equipped with two saw-d-off
shotguns, enough ammunition
and provisions to Inst for mouths and
taking with them wren well-trained
bloodhounds. Charles Smith and Buck
Nagcl, young men living In this city,
are roing Into Washington to get John
Turnow, the man who within a year
has killed four deputy sheriffs and
two other men. The boys have de
clared their intention of getting Tur
now or never coming back.
For months Smith and Nagel have
been training their bloodhounds, and
now they are going after the reward
In earnest, despite the fact that Tur
now has a record as a dead shot and
that no one whom he ever went after
has gotten away. The Portland boys
will secure deputy sheriffs' commis
sions and will start Into the Washing
ton hills as soon as arrangements can
be completed, with the Intention of
dogging the tracks of Turnow until
they get him.
Hood River Water Supply in Danger.
Hood River. The protest of the
local commercial club through its
president, W. L. Clark, who has writ
ten to the Portland water board de
claring that the Bull Run water re
serve encroaches on the Hood River
watershed, may lead to a conference
between the local citiiens and the
Portland officials In an effort to ad
Just the boundaries. It is probable
that members of the Portland board
will come here as soon as the weather
becomes sufficiently mild and Tisit
the Lost Lake region. ,
COAL LAND BEING TAKEN UP
Many Valuable Claims Have Already
Been Filed On.
Marshfield. Coal rights which It Is
bellered will later on be highly valua
ble are being taken up in what is
known as the Eden Ridge country, far
down on the south fork of the Co
quille river and In the southern part
of Coos county. Coal of a very fine
quality always has been known to
exist there, but the previous inacces
sibility of the country has caused it
to be overlooked. The Smith-Powers
Logging company is now building a
railroad to that part of the country,
and the prospect of transportation
has directed attention to the valuable
coal deposits.
Anticipating a move of this kind, a
prospector and locator has been in
the coal couEtry for a year or two
past, and has opened veins and inves
tigated the coal on the government
lands. He baa located investors on
these government lands, and in such
cases the lands have been filed upon
under the mineral act. . -(
S. P. Makes Offer For Terminal.
Marshfield. The Southern Pacific
has made a proposition, the exact de
tails of which are not known, to the
terminal company, with a view of se
curing the tracks and right of way ol
the terminal down the waterfront in
Marshfield. The Southern Pacific
right of way is secured through North
Bend to the limits of Marshfield. It
Is stated that the railroad has made a
demand of the terminal to accept or
refuse the proposition so that the mat
ter of using the waterfront in Marsh
field can be settled finally.
Lake County Deal Closed.
Klamath Falls. A deal which his
been pending two years was closed
when the deeds to the lands held by
the Oregon Military Land Grant com
pany were filed here by the Oregon
Land Corporation.
This land was originally granted for

road across the Cascade mountains to

lies north of the Klamath Indian res
ervation, that within the reservation
having been exchanged for lands out
side. There are about 50,000 acres in
Klamath county and the deeds call
for a consideration of about $4 per
acre. Much of the land Is said to be
tine timber, some is good pasture and
some good for agriculture. What their
plans are for handling the lands are
not made public.
i Hill Extension Wanted.
I Klamath Falls. Rufus R. Wilson,
director of the Humboldt Development
committee, has been here from Eure
la,. CaL, with a view to Interesting
f&iS section In an attempt to induce
the Oregon Trunk ailway (Hill line)
to build from this point to Eureka,
The country to be traversed Is large
ly without railroad facilities, and there
is an Immense amount of fine timber
on the proposed route. There Is also
much good placer mining along the
route, and some fine quarts mines.

or in Forty Case.
San Francisco, In 40 simultaneous

city of a corporation conferred by the

ed for only the actual amount it cor;
the company to obtain it not mere
