ants in the case show by what author
ity of law they have acted in becom
ing the board of directors in the new
district, and in hiring a principal and

PORTLAND MAN SHOOTS
SELF: CAUSE MYSTERY
PORTLAND, Aug. 31. Close beside
the walls of a nearly completed build
ine which he had planned for his
home, the, body of Eric Elfstrom, 51-year-old
bachelor, was found today.
He had slashed his throat and than
buried a bullet in his brain.
Reason for Elfstrom's act is a mys
tery to the police, who are investigat
ing to determine whether it was bus
iness troubles, declining health or a
love affair that had led him suddenly
to take his own life.
A taciturn man, Elfstrom had re
sided at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S.

revealing much of the history of hio

IRRIGATION PLANS
AT MOLALLA FIRST
ATTEMPTS KIND
Committee Named to Proceed
.With organizing farmers
Into . District; Involves
From 5000 to 10000 Acres.
O. A. C. EXPERTS MAKE
FAVORABLE ANALYSIS
Productoin Can Be Increased
From 75 to 100 Per Cent
With Application of Water
SALEM, Sept. 1. The first venture
in irrigation on an extended scale to
be undertaken in the Willamette val
ley, was launched at a meeting of
farmers in the vicinity of Molalla, in
southern Clackamas county, Thursday
night, according to representatives of
the state engineer's department, who
attended. A committee was named
to proceed with the organization of
the district, which will include be
tween 9000 and 10,000 acres.
The proposed project will be wa
tered from the Molalla river by a sim
ple gravity system, through a canal
approximately five miles in length.
Soil experts from the Oregon Agri
cultural college, who attended - the
meeting, declared that production in
that section could be increased from
75 to 100 per cent through the artifi
cial application of water during the
growing, season. .
State Engineer Cupper, who at
tended, said that precipitation in the
Willamette valley during the summer
months is less than that of the so
called arid sections of Oregon, aver
aging but two inches during the grow
ing season each year and this year
falling far below that annual average
with disastrous results to growing
crops".
According to County Treasurer W.
W. Everhart', who has been active in
the Molalla irrigation movement,
about thirty signatcres were secured
from farmers favoring the venture at
the Thursday meeting. Plans were
made for the perfection of an organ
ization to carry the project through,
and L. A. Shaver, temporary chair
man, and Oliver Buxton, temporary
secretary, were selected to continue
their offices for the present. Peti
tions are to be circulated for presen
tation to the county -court.
The prospects for the project are
very encouraging, according to Mr.
Everhart, and analysis of the soil in)
the section, to be irrigated indicates
that it is especially well adapted to
irrigation.
Percy A. Cupper, state engineer and
president of the state water board;
W. A. Bowers, professor of soil f n
A. C; ex-state engineer John H. Lew
is, and G. H. Abbot, Portland engin
eer, were present at the meeting. Ab

it was first considered about six

WILL ARRIVE FRIDAY
Prisoner Fails To Satisfy
Authorities As to Identity;
Extradition Is Required.
Sheriff W. J. Wilson arrested whom
he believes to be Russell Dove, want
ed by the Fairfield, Iowa, authorities
for attempted murder and- robbery.
The arrested man claims to be Fred
Hansteen , of Seattle, but answers the
description of Dove. He denies any
knowledge of the crime for which he
has been arrested. The arrest was
made Saturday at a dairy farm near
Bull Run where he was working as a
dairy hand for the past three weeks.

father have lived since last Mareh, has
little else to Identify himself. He
claims to have been working in and
around Portland since March. He
states that he has worked at Hills-
boro, North Plains, Bull Rri and Port-
land, since that time.
" He refused to go to Iow.a without ex
tradition when asked to do so by Sher-
iff Wilson upon the request of the
I Iowa sheriff. He also refused to coa-
sult aa attorney about his case. Sher-
iff "Wilson examined him for about two
hours relative to the Iowa crime, but
could learn, nothing from the suspect
His only comment on the affair was,
"How are they going to prove it," and
"It is up to them to prove it."
Sheriff Harris is expected in Ore
gon City Friday to get . the prisoner
and return to Iowa with him.
CAT TAKES COUNT: BLUE
BIRDS VICTORS IN FIGHT
SANTA BARBARA, Cal., Sept, 4.
One Santa Barbara cat now knows
how the canary feels. He found out
the other day, while perched on the
top cross beam of a telephone pole,
frantically defending his eyes, ears
and nose against the attack of two
shrieking blue jays, with a shrilly ap
plauding audience of linnets and spar
rows twittering for a knockout.
An anxious human spectator tele
phoned the humane society, whose
representative, aided by a telephone
company lineman, tried to rescue
Thomas from the beaks of his tor
mentors. The panic-stricken cat gave
one look at the lineman climbing the
pole toward his perch, aimed a last
despairing uppercut at the blue jay
nearest him, and then jumped. He
landed right side up and disappeared'
down the road in a cloud of dust.

SURVEY OF BASIN -HIGHWAY
BEGUN
? COMMISSION
Court - Hears Remonstrances
Against Vacating Canemah
Route; Many Residents
Attend Wednesday Session
THIRD STREET DEAL
IS PLACED ON TABLE
P. R. L. & P. Attornev To
Look Up Law; Papers And
Deeds To Be Put in Escrow.
Engineers from the state highway
departme(.it are surveying a route out
Main street and along the basin south
of the ciy, along the lines previously
run for the proposed Pacific Highway
entrance to Oregon City. When ques
tioned as to their intention, they de
clined to reveal any information, stat
ing that they were working under or
ders from the state highway commis
sion with instructions to survey the
route, it is expected that they will
also draw plans ajnd specifications for
the highway construction, as was done
before the subsequent route over the
bluff was selected.
Just what the plans of the state
highway commission may be appears
to be unknown. The city council Jias
instructed their recorder to write
them for information, as no neaotia-
.tions have been held between the two
bodies for some time. Conjecture is
current that with so many obstacles
in the path of the bluff road the com
mission will proceed with the road up
the basin, although no one in the city
appears to have beeii advised that
such is their intention.
The County Court met in regular
session Wednesday and considered
the matter of the vacation of the basia
roadway between the limits of Oregon
City and Canemah for the use of the
P R. L. & P. company. Canemah peo
ple who are remonstrating against ,
closing this road were present, amd
were represented by Gilbert E. Hedges
The Portland coccern was represented
by Harrison Allen, of Griffith, Leiter
and Allen. J. E. Hedges represented
the Oregon City Manufacturing com
pany. The principal point at issue between
the attorneys was whether or not it
would be tegal to vacate the roadway
and rededicafe the six foot strip to
be used for a walk between Oregon!
City and Canemah.
According to the proposals made by
the P. R. L. & P. company they agree
to pay $35,000 toward a highway out
of Oregon City, to construct and keep
open to pedestrians a walk between
Oregon City and Canemah, and to fur
nish street lights for the walk and for
Canemah free of cost. These pro
posals are contingent upon the vacat
ing of the basin road, and the con
struction of another route out of Ore
gen City south.
. -A legal point was brought up by Gil
bert Hedges as to whether or not the
court could vacate this strip, and mak
ing the vacation contingent upon
agreements to be carried out later. He
held that if the road was vacated the
subsequent owners would not be
bound to fulfill any obligations in con
sideration for that vacation. Joseph
Hedges suggested that the court va
cate all of the road except a six or
seven foot strip along the basin to
be used for a walk.
The court instructed ie . A. TU. &'
P. company's attorney to look' up the
law as to whether or not it would be
legal for the county to vacate this
road, and the Portland company to re
dedicate the six foot strip for use of
the walk. If the attorney finds that
this will be legal, he was instructed
by the court to place the papers rela
tive to the vacation and deeds in es
crow until further action can be
taken.
The city council at its regular meet
ing last night ordered that the mat
ter of vacating hird street between'
Main street and Railroad avenue be
laid on the table for thirty days, his
action by the council was taken on ac
count of the remonstrance made by
Oregon City property holders against
the action to vacate the street for use
by the Hawley Pulp & Paper company
and Portland Railway Light & Power
company. Councilman Dr. Mount sug
gested in relation to this action that
the matter be laid on the table and
that the city ask the State Highway
Commission what they intend to do
do relative to the Fifth street outlet
from Oregon City.
