OREGONIAN NEWS BtJREAtj, Wash ington, Aug. 7. It is not always a man ytho does a great deal for his Congression al district that Is retained without a strug gle. An example of this Is In the case of Representative Loudenslager, who repre sents the Camden district in New Jersey. Ever since Loudenslager has been in Cpngress he has been & member of the naval committee, and has been able to Jiejp his district very materially in the matter of the League Island navy-yard -In the Delaware River. He has also been Instrumental In securinglarge appropria tions, lor the Improvement of the Dela ware, which has been for the benefit of his constituents. Loudenslager has ob tained quite a prominent place In Con gress, although not among the very lead ing statesmen. Notwithstanding this -fact, ho had the hardest fight of his life to se cure renomlnatlon this time. Some man nractically unknown to nuMfc. iifA wmi that Loudenslager had been there long enough, and happened to be a man with considerable money and made the New Jersey man flriit verv hnrfl fnr- i-nnr,. Jnatlon. The people of Oregon will be mieresieQ in Knowing that Loudenslager has been successful because he was Chairman Of the committee on nonnlnna and as such -was ever ready to push tho anoian war veteran bill whenever the consent of the House managers forMts consideration could be obtained. T 8ljjer saw the Speaker several times dur ing ie last session or congress in the In terest of this particular bill, and always Biooa Dy- tne Oregon Representatives wnea iney made an effort to get it up.

Asked for Over Oregron City Streets. OREGON CITY, Aug. 7. (Special.) The Oregon City t Suburban Railway Company, by its president, C D. Latour ette, a prominent banker of this city, ap peared at the regular meeting of the City Council last night and asked for the passage of an ordinance granting a franchise to the company to run a double-track railway on Water street from Third street, where the woolen mills are. ettuated, to Seventeenth street. In the north end of the city. The ordi nance, as drawn up, provides that' no license shah, be paid for the first five years, and after that time a license of 150 a year ehall be collected. The dura tion of tho franchise Is to be DO years. Construction must commence within tvzp years, and the road must he completed within flvo years. The Council, after they have gone Into a committee of tho whole, upon the matter, will take some action, and tho question will come up for consideration at an -adjourned meeting next Wednesday evening. From the ex pressions of opinion of some of the Coun- enmen xoaay it la not proDaoi laaj. ino franchise will be granted in lis present form. . This is the .first move that "has been made by Mr. Latourette cince the organ ization and incorporation of the company. on May 11 last. . At that time he was given a 'franchise W hiS .Board' of County Commissioners to lay dOwti ana bperate railroads, . telegraph, telepHooo' and power ' lines up'qiffieOfeijoh 'City and .Oa'wegp road and the Aberriethy' road. ' When the franchise was granted, oome criticism was Indulged In, as many thought that tho Commlfwloners should not have given a railway company authority to encroach upon county roads. But these criticisms were counter-balanced by the satisfaction of the people living along the route over which the franchise was granted at the mere thought of having- a ..railway in their-rsection. At. that time Mr. Latour-! ette stated .that his company proposed to traverse the county east and. west, and perhaps south. He proposes to build an electric line from.. Oswego to Oregon City, crowing the Willamette at Oregon City, and running up the Abernethy road to B,edland. The entlrejlistancc Is 14 miles. The capital etock of the company Is 510,000, but the articles of incorporation authorize Its increase to $100,000. The finance committee was authorized to purchase SCO feet of hose for the flra department at a cost of $1 10 a foot C, Bluhm was re-elected City Sexton, and the members of the police force were granted a week'B vacation.

Gold-Locating Instruments Failed to Disclose Presence of the Xova Scotlnn's Hidden Wealth. VICTORIA. B. C Aug. .7. The elabo rately outfitted expedition which set sail from here early InManuary on the brigan- tlne Blakeley, to search for the mythical treasure of Cocos Island, returned today. like other expeditions which have visited the island, without having seen a sight of treasure of any kind. The expedition was an utter failure. The Instruments which were supposed to locate the supposed burled treasure failed in all, except giving the members a lot of work digging in dif ferent parts of the island. Captains Hackett and Whldden, commander and mate of the brigantlne. who have the maps said to have been drawn by a Nova Scotia miner, who is said to have burled some treasure there, are disgusted with me goia-nnaing instruments, which jusun Gilbert, ex-court stenographer, of this city, and Enyeart. a prospector, took down on the vessel. The Blakeley was 101 days reaching- the Island from Victoria, getting a taste of the heavy weather which prevailed at that time, arriving at the Island on April 17. After a day's reconnolterlng. the Instru ments were brought out. and the men started working at a point to which it pomted. After sinking a shaft 20 feet, another trial was made with the so-called gold-finder, and It pointed In another dis rectlon; Invfact, every time it was brought out it pointed In a. different direction. Finally, getting disgusted with it. Cap tains Whldden and Hackett decided to test it with some gold coin on the beach. It failed to find the coin, and then a search for the treasure was made independent of It. Holes were Sunk where the crew of II. M. S. Imperleuse and the schooner Au rora had searched, without any better re sult. Provisions getting scarce. It was determined to make a start for home, and after loading with coral and turtle shells the vessel turned northward. This was on May 11, only 24 days having been spent on tho Island. Captains Whldden and Hackett still believe the treasure is there. but have no confidence in the instruments of Messrs. Gilbert and Enyear. ..There is likely to be some trouble be fore the business of the expedition Is set tled. The head man of the company, H. H. Jones. Is charged by the captains with having acted In his own behalf, and not In the Interest of the other members of the company. The captains left behind some 300 shares In the company, which were to have been sold for them. After Ihey left Jones is alleged to have made the statement that their shares were val ueless, and that prevented the sale of them. He, on the other hand. Is alleged to have disposed of all the shares he had In the company. LATTER-DAY SAINTS IX CONFLICT. Difference of Opinion Between El ders of Church at Independence. INDEPENDENCE. Aug. 7. (Special.)
