OREGON BOY IS HONORED.
Dr. L. J. Wolf, of Sllverton, Accompanies
Peary Expedition as Surgeon.
NEW YORK, July 17. Duplicate parts
of the delicate scientific instruments to
be used by the Peary Expedition in search
for the North Pole were placed aboard
the steamer Roosevelt before it sailed
Sunday from this port. Triple sets of
nautical instruments also were taken
along.
Dr. Louis J. Wolf, of Silverton, Or.,
was chosen as surgeon of the expedition.
He is 30 years old and a graduate of the
college of surgery in San Francisco of
the class of 1903. Until recently Wolf
was connected with the outdoor depart
ment of Bellevue Hospital.
For a number of months prior to going
to New York City where he became con
nected with the Bellevue Hospital, Dr.
Wolf was located at Oregon City, where
i he was. temporarily in charge of Dr.
i Strickland's practice. Dr. Wolf made
! many warm friends here who eongrat-
ulate him on the appointment. They feel
i that if the north pole is to be definitely
discovered and located, nothing would
please them better than to have the
"pride of Silverton" a member of the ex
ploring party.

Celebrated Clackamas County Case De
cided by Supreme Court.
SALEM, July 17. The Supreme Court
today awarded to the Oregon Iron &
Steel Company the right to the possession
of the meteoric rock found on the com
pany's premises in Clackamas county in
1902, and removed therefrom by Ellis
Hughes. The Supreme Court holds that
the meteor was a deposit by' nature, and
became a part of the realty as soon as it
had fallen, and therefore was the prop
erty of the company owning the land.
In substance, the decision of the ap
pelate court follows:
1 0regon Iron and Steel Company, re
spondents, vs. Ellis Hughes, appellant,
from Clackamas County, T. A. McBride,
Judge; afiirmed; opinion by Chief Justice
Wolverton.
Held, that a meteoric rock Is a part of
the real property upon which it falls and
evidence that Indians worshipped the
rock and dipped their arrows in the water
held in its cavities is not sufficient to
show that the Indians had dug the rock
from the ground and acquired title to it
personal property. The question
Whether Indian ownership and abandon
ment is sufficient ground upon which to
predicate title in the finder is not decided.
Astoria, we desire to return to you and
the citizens of Oregon City, and the mem
bers of the Fire Department, our heart
felt and sincere thanks for the kind and
courteous treatment accorded the As
toria Hose Team on the occasion of the
recent tournament. At no other city
which we have visited in the past has
there been such a display of hospitality
as was shown, not only the Astoria dele
gation, but all who participated in the
tournament. The efforts of the committee
in charge of the tournament, the -members
of the fire department and the cit
izens generally to make it pleasant for
us is appreciated, and we are only anx
ious for an opportunity in the future to
reciprocate and to assure you, one and
all that our visit was one of the most
pleasant and will ever be remembered by
every member of the Astoria Hose Team.
Thanking you for the favors extended
we have the honor to remain,
Sincerely yours,
ASTORIA HOSE TEAM,
By Fred J. Brown, Captain.

Mr. Schuebel has notified members of
