So many of the industries of Oregon
are directly related to the develop
ment of the state's mineral resources
or water resources that the work of
the United States Geographical survey
i salways of special importance in this
state. Oregon, in common with other
public-land states, is now receiving a
much larger share of -attention from
the federal survey than the older
states of the Eeast, largely because
of the need of information for the.
classification of the public lands.
In accordance with arrangements
for co-operating with State Bureau of
Geology and Mines, work was begun in
June by a party in charge of A .J. Col
lier in the reconnaissance exploration
of. the John Day Valley, in the north
ern part of the state, where from time
to time the residents have reported
hopeful indications of the occurence
of coal and oil. The study of the de
tailed stratigraphy and economic geo
logy of the Sumpter guadrangle, west
of Baker City, nearly half of which
had previously been mapped by J. T.
Pardee of the Federal survey, will be
completed under co-operative auspices
publication. " ' .:
The lands in the Klamath Indian
reservation are being classified by H.
G. Ferguspn for the office of Indian af
fairs, and the geologic mapping and
classification of the coal-bearing area
including Eden Ridge in the western
part of the state will be accomplished
for the land office by C. E. Lesher.
Mew Topographic Maps.
In co-operation with the state engi
neer of Oregon, the topographic
branch of the survey is this season, en
gaged in making maps of the areas
known as the Salem, Albany, Aums
ville and Corvallis quadrangles in the
Willamette valley.These are 15-minuteJ
quadrangles, each covering an area of
approximately 212 square miles. Map
ping of the Condon 30-minute quad
rangle, in Gilliam and Sherman coun
ties, with an approximate area of 842
square miles, is also in progress. A
large amount of triangulation work,
to establish the control of other areas
to be surveyed, is also in progress.
This surveying is being done by Topo
graphers C. H. fiirdseye, W. O. Tufts,
J. H. Wheat, O. G. Taylor, S. E. Taylor
S. G. Lunde, W. S. S.Johnson, and
F. W. Crisp. Plan and profile sur
veys of the Middle and McKenzie forks
of Willamette river and of Sanitiam,
Clackamas and Sandy rivers are also
in progress by Topographers L. F.
Biggs and D. S. Birkett.
Surveys Are Detail.
The work will include the detailed
surveys necessary to prepare a map
which will show all river, towns, roads
and railroads, as welt as the surface
relief of the country by means of five
and 10(Moot contour lines. The com
pleted maps will be engraved on
scales of one and two miles to one
inch, and the river profile will be re
produced on the scale of half a mile
to one inch. The maps will probably
not be ready for distribution until
about two years after the completion
of the field work, but the river pro
files, reproduced by the photolitho
graphic process", will be available next
spring.

Canby high school's first football
team has been roganized, a coach has
been chosen, the team has started
practice, and soon will be willing to
meet any high school team in the val
ley. Although the enrollment of the
school is only 65, the prospects are
very good. Most of the boys are from
the country and even it football is
somewhat new to them, the fact that
they have spent a large part of their
life pitching hay and doing other .muscle-making
chores adds largely to their
ability as gladiators.
The team will average about 180
pounds, not one on the men being un
der 130 mile the. center pulls the
scales down to 225.
The school has an athletic field and
has been at work for several days. It
will be willing to play any school In

ROAD-HOG HITS CAR
IS
F. L. Delschneider of Portland, was
arrested by Constable Jack Frost Mon
day on the charge of refusing to give
one-half of the road to Dr. Hugh
Mount, resulting in an accident that
crippled the doctor's machine.
The two men met on a road in the
country and the Portland machine is
said to have, refused to give one-half
of the highway to the Oregon City car.
As a result, the two came together.
Lfhe lights and mud guards were
smashed on the doctor s car but no
material damage was done.
NEW YORK, N, Y., Oct. 20. Wall
street learned today that if the nego
tiations for the $50,000,000 consolida
tion of the United Cigar stores 'and
the Riker-Hegeman-Jayness Drug
stores is completed, the - department
of justice at Washington will immedl
ately begin an investigation of the
merger. t
The action, it was reported, will be
taken on the ground that such a con
solidation would destroy competition.
It was pointed out that for several
years the two corporations have en
gaged In a bitter rate war for the re
tail tobacco trade.
CITY ATTORNEY GETS
BIRD EVEN THOUGH
IRATE FARMER FIRES
To the gentle sputtering of rifle
bullets around him and the breaking
of twigs over his head, William Stone,
city attorney, perserveringly hunted
the elusive pheasant Monday after
noon in spite of an irate. farmer who
insisted upon shooting at him every
time that his hat appeared over the
clump of bushes inside of the farmer's
ground.
Evidently, the farmer has had pre
vious m perience with hunters. At any
rate, he was not at all hospital when
the city attorney appeared on the
scene and opened fire as soon as he
saw him start across the land. That
did not deter the city attorney, how
ever, for he was more interested in
the pheasant than in the farmer and
across the land he went.
TO LESSEN DANGER
OF FIRE ON
E
A new hydrant will be placed in the i
center of the suspension bridge if the !
city and the county can get together
on the cost of the installation. ;
The city council has already planned
the instillation of hydrants at the
bridge ends where the city would
have water in case of fire and a sup
ply with which to clean the structure.
It is now believed that one in the cen
ter would increase the protection and
also lessen the amount of. hose that
could have to be bought.
Under the agreement, the county
would buy the hose, the city furnish
the water, and B. T. McBain, mill man
ager of the Willamette Pulp & Paper
company agrees to see that the bridge
is regularly cleaned. .
CHARGES DESERTION;
E
Suit for divorce was filed Monday
by Ethel Friedrick against her hus
ba'n, Charles Friedrick on the ground
of desertion. They were married in
Chicago January 6, 1906 and have two
children, John, aged five, Lucille, aged
two.
The complaint recites that the hus
band deserted his family when they
were In Portland and that he has since
refused to return and to care for
them.
Perhaps he is just that, Alonzo, but
we wouldn't advise - you to call the
manager of a swimming school a dive
keeper.
J
Though the bullets were sputtering
around him and the, twigs over his
head breaking at every crack of the
rifle, the city attorney darted out of
the clump and started after the bird
as soon as he saw one fly up almost
in front of him. Right in the range
of that rifle fire he went and got his
bird.
Winded by his run through the un
derbrush and over paths to the ground
he paid no more attention to the irate
farmer and his sputtering 22-calibre
rifle than the, owner of a seven-passenger
pays to the driver of a runabout.
After the bird was safely deposited in
the large game back, the city attorney
retired did not retreat out of range
and finally realized that he had "been
under fire."
WATER SURVEY GOES
.Subscribers to the fund for the sur
vey of the sources of a water supply
on the south fork of the Clackamas
will meet Tuesday night in the Com
mercial club rooms and a report will
be made on the work that has thus
far been done.
H. A. Rands, the engineer, has gone
up the river nearly to Estacada and
expects to rush through the survey
in the next two weeks. By that time,
he will have a definite report on tne
cost of the construction of a line on
either of three routes and will have
a complete statement of the expendi
ture that will be required.
From Estacada, he expects to be
able to rush the survey as he will use
the county road as the route for the
line. The engineer has already reach
ed the point where he will recommend
the intake be placed and has some val
uable information that will be of in
terest as to the feasibility of the plan
.for the new line.
PORTLAND BOY DROWNED IN
SMALL BOAT AT ROCKAWAY
BAY CITY, Ore., Oct. 20. -Knocked
by a wave from a small boat in which
with two companions, he was trying to
reach Twin Rocks, off Rockaway
beach, yesterday afternoon, Guy Ross,
23, of Portland, was drowned in the
ocean. His body has not been recov
ered. '
With Ross in the boat were Ed H.
Wood, photographer, and C. C. Byers,
grocery store owner of Rockaway.
The party had made one trip to Twin
Rocks, about two miles from shore, ac
companied also by Al Slouth. Slouth
was fearful of a storm which, threat
ened to come up,, and insisted upon
being taken to shore again.
The less you say the more it counts.
DILLY-DALLIES AROUND BUT
FINALLY" DIGS UP ALL
COUNTY ASSESSED
COURT REBATES PENALTY CHARGE
Agrees to Relieve Road of Costs If It
Pays Second Half cf Amount
Fixed For The Year's
Levy
Un-der an agreement with the coun
ty court, the Southern Pacific rail
road has paid its taxes for the sec
ond half of the year 1908.
Though the railroad paid the first
half of its taxes for that year, it later
discovered that the rate was fixed
tQo high to be satisfactory and filed a
protest. It has since refused to make
the payment and offered the former
court a proposition under which it
wouW meet the assessment minus the
interest and penalties that had ac
crued. .
The court, however, held that the
railroad could pay all of its taxes- or
none and refused to accept Che prop
osition. The matter was again sub
mitted and was this time accepted. "As
a result the county has $15,271.39 to its
credit minus the $9,926 that has been
added in the way of interest on the
delinquent list.
DEEDS PILE DP IN
RECORDER'S OFFICE
Business has been booming through
the county for the past few days and
the number of real estate deeds that
have been filed with County Recorder
Dedman has been unusually large.
For the past few days, the entire of
fice, force has been busily at work in
dexing and copying the deeds that
have been received from all parts of
the county. Many of " them come
through the mails while some are
brought from the uttermost parts of
the mountain regions of the county,
when the owners believe the deeds are
of some particular importance.
The other day a man traveled sev
eral hundreds of miles to bring a
deed into the office- of the recorder
and watch him file it. The trip could
have been saved had the registered
mails been used by the owner but he
considered the deed of such import
ance to him that he decided to see
that it was safely made a part of the
county records.

MANY BUILDINGS ARE BURNED
AND TOWN IS SAVED BY
STRENUOUS EFFORTS
FIRE DEPARTMENT DOES GOOD WORK
Heroic . Measures Are Taken . and
-Some Stores Are Torn Down to
Keep Blaze Within Limits
Will Be Rebuilt Soon
SANDY, Ore., Oct., 20. Half of the
business section of this city was de
stroyed this morning by a fire which
started at one end of Main street and
burned everything in its path as far
as Miller's shoe store which was torn
down in an effort to stop the progress
of the flames. The fire, which did
damage amount to $10,000, is believed
to have been of incendiary orgin.
The buildings destroyed include the
Central hotel,. Bell Brothers' Livery
barn, Miller's shoe store, the Central
restaurant, and the saloon belonging
to H. B. Edwards and J. O'Dell. The
total insurance on all the damage is
$2800. '
v Complete destruction of the town
was prevented only by tearing down
buildings in Jts path. It is thought
that even such a measure would have
been useless if there had been a wind.
The fire was fought by the volunteer
fire department and by bucket bri
gades formed of citizens.
However, Sandy is dauntless. Sev
eral business men have announced
that they will build at once. T.ven
today the debris is being cleared away
and rebuilding will be started tomor
row. All announce that the new
Sandy will rise a better and more
beautiful town than before.
POLITICAL BEE IS
I
Today is the last moment of grace
that is given to a new political organ
ization to place its candidates in the
field for the city election in Decem
ber. Individual electors may file pe
titions, however, for candidates of
parties already in the field as late as
November 25.
The recent acts of the legislature
of the state have made the time short-'
er by 10 days during which candidates
may be placed upon the ballot of the
cify for the regular election. The
former law provided that the petitions
should be filed not more than 100 days
nor less than 30 days before the elec
tion, while the new statute makes it
necessary to place the petition on file
not more than 100 days nor less than
40 days before-the election.
. This does not apply, however, to
those candidates who are nominated
by individual electors. The lax give:,
them until 25 days before the general
city election on which to file the pe
tition and announce their candidacy
for the office to which they aspire.
Under the statute, three per cent of
the voters must be named on the pe
tition that places a candidae for of
fice in the field.
Should the time pass in which the .
petitions are to be filed, the present
city oouncil would hold over as the
law says "until their successors are
elected and qualified." The city would
then be in ' a position where the pres
ent council would hold office and per
form its function unless it chose to
call a special election or such an elec
tion were demanded.
The q'uestion arose Monday when it
was suggested that Tuesday was the
last day on which petitions could be
filed for office of mayor and city coun
cil. It was learned, however, that the
law refers only to those candidates of
a new party that intend to enter the
field and still gives the other candi
dates until the latter part of Novem
ber on which to file their petitions.
