The Great Central Land Company has secured at Loon Lake what la described as "one of the finest water powers that ever lay out of doors." Where Loon Lake emp ties into Mill Creek, a tributary of the Umpqua River, there is a fall of over 200 feet in less than a mile, and the volume of water even at its present low stage is sufficient to develop over oOOO horsepower. C. S. Whltcomb. who arrived Monday from Portland, made a side trip td Loon Lake on his way in, and after examining the water power and its surroundings. posted notice of filing on 10,000 Inches of water at the site of the power, and then went to Roseburg and made the requisite filing there In the name of the Great Cen tral Land Company. Mr. Whltcomb Is enthusiastic as to this magnificent water power and expresses surprise that so little attention has been attracted to it. The explanation la that hf TVllrt irmintrv in wWoYi tVio nnn-pr la situated has few visitors, and those who have seen it have had no conception of Its' value. This water power Is less than 25 miles from the bay, and Is sufficient to furnish power for electric lights, street-cars, mo- tor lines? or the Belt Line Railway, t With the great improvement in electrical trans- mission of power, it will be- easily avail- able at any point on the bay. and may eaelly play an Important part in the de velopment of this section. WATER SUPPLY FOR STATE. Orcnon CommlHMioners "Will First Experiment With WelU. SALEM, Or., Aug. 26. Special.) The decision of the Supreme Court in tho case, of tho Salem Flouring Mills Com pany vs. the State of Oregon, tvhlch Is adverse to tne state, was not unexpe:tea by the present state officials. By tho troversy over the water-power that has been appropriated oy tne state ana tne title to that power has been Anally de termined. It is now necessary for tho state to make immediate provision lor supplying the state institutions and pub lie buildings with an adequate supply of- water for all purposes. To meet this need and provide for it a number of plans are under consideration, The last legislature made an approprla tlon of $30,000 to provide for supplying tho asylum, the ponltentlary, the Capitol ana ether public buildings with water and wu-power sufficient for too Poat Tq Jnlo execuUon the provlslona Q; tlle measure, the Governor, Secretary of ouue nnu oiaie .treasurer were tuusu WW! VIEW OF THE BUILDIXG WHICH WILL COST 912,000 TO 910,000. MARSHFIELD. Or., Autr. 25. (Special.) For many years the want of a hospital for the Coos Bay country has been seriously felt. This want in. in all probability, about to bo supplied, by the erection ot a hospital In Mnrahfleld in the near future. Plans have beon prepared by David B. Emerson, an architect of Newport. R. I. The. most desirable block in Marshfleld has been purchased for a site, and as soon as the subscription list Is far enough advanced work will be commenced and carried on1 to completion. The hospital win be in charge of the Sisters of Mercy from Chicago. The dimensions of tho building will be: Length. 100 feet; general wldth -SO feet, and one wing 00 feet. It will cost $12,000 to $15,000. Of this sum. $5000 has been BUbscrlbed. The generosity already shown by tho people ot Coos Bay .assures the success of the undertaking. tuted the Board of Public Building Com missioners, and were authorized and in structed to provide the supply of water. By the provisions of the bill carrying the appropriation the board Is given consid erable latitude and is authorized either to acquire a water-power, to Install a" water-power of its own, oV to take and condrmn lands upon which available power is found. Under this act the board several months ago let the contract for sinking a well within the penitentiary lnclosure as an experiment to determine the feasibility of deriving a water-power on that plan. The well was sunk- to a depth of 145 feet, and cost the state about $W0. While the well was finished six weeks ago, it has not yet been tested for the reason that the state board desired to await the decision in the case th.it has just been disposed of. and, besides, did no. wish to make a test until the extreme dry season arrived, that the minimum ca pacity of the well might be determined. The well gives every Indication of yield ing a bGuntlful supply of good water. A prellmlnarj' but. unsatisfactory test was made a few weeks ago, and In 24 hours there was pumped out 25,000 gallons. A thorough test of the well will be made within "a few days, when Its real value and the maximum capacity during the cry season will be disclosed. The board estimates that at the pres ent time 200,000 gallons of water are re quired dally for supplying the state instl- tuticrs and the public buildings, but In members' of the I their calculations th boaro make an allowance for a maximum requirement of 1.000.000 gallons. The well test is the preliminary step that the board P?11 toward providing a water sup- in I'uu lot; success oi me iesi win depend the further action on the part of tne board, if the well proves a success, a system of weKs may be sunk and the state's water supply provided in that man- nar, which is considered the least ex pei.slvo tha4 has been suggested. Until tho state arranges for supplying its own water-power, it will probably con tinue to use water from the ditch of the Flo-ring Mill Company, under the terms that have already been subscribed to.
