Anent Mr. Gallagher's Interesting article In your last Sunday's Isue pertaining to. the discovery of -CllfT Dwellers' Habita tions," near Aehwood. Or., permit mo to rail your attention to enclosed clipping taken from the Evening Telegram In July, 190L Thi3 clipping shows that cliff dwell ers' habitations outside of the Ashwood discoveries have been known to the writer for the last two years, and. of course, corrects the assertion made in your ar ticle that the Ashwood habitations are the only ones ."at present known to exist in this region." I knew and have visited the Ashwood re mains, and coincide with Mr. Gallagher that they belong to the very ancient class of cliff dwellings found on this continent. The Harney County discoveries belong to the same class, and are more extensive and better preserved, so to speak, than the Ashwood remains. O. M. ROSEKDAL.E. Following Is the published statement re ferred, to in the foregoing article of Mr. Rosendolc: "I had occasion to visit Harney County last week." said Mr. Rotendale. "and have every reason to believe that 1 1 discovered traces ot cllffdwellers. I wait alone onNjiorsebsck, traveling- through a part of Harney County, fdtu ated about C5 mllea southeast of tbe Stein Mountains, when I made the discovery. "The spot was a peculiar one. Clltts of black basaltic formation, without a veatlgt of vegeta tion, rose abruptly from the desert and formed a narrow defile. After pastlns through the tie' ale and. leadlmr my worn-out horse. I pro ceeded to scale a hill for the purpose ot getting my bearings, as I had evidently lost them for the past six hours. Turning on one point ot the hillside, which was half filled with sand blown crevices, a strange sight was presented to ma. There before me were about 75 cliff dwellers' habitations, deserted, of course, but In a fair state of preservation. The clear and unclouded aky looking upon a picture of queer and strangely formed small buildings, roofless, bound together with no material whatsoever, but hewn with all the skill of the ancient craftsmen. "In the middle of tbe place was an upright stone, resembllm? the famous, altar stones of the ancient Aztecs of Old .Mexico. Most proba bly on this atone the bloody rites of human sacrifice "v'tre once performed by an extinct race. A I -was already much delayed in my. Journey. uBe did not permit a thorough -examination ot the locality nor an exploration of the caves; yet I am thoroughly convinced that the caves served at one time aa the habitations ot what are 'commonly known to us as cllSdwell ers. "In 1893 I had the honor to be one of a party of Smlthsonlans sent Into the almost Inaccessi ble reclooa ot New Mexico, the Gorpnda del Muerto, or. translated, the Journey of Death, for the purpose of examining the extensive, cllffdwelleis ruins In that country. We were also to obtain measurements for the reproduc- I Hon of the habitations of the cllffdwellers to exhibit at the World's Fair. The caves were reproduced at the fair, and are now m part of tbe Field Museum, In Chicago. Outside ot tbe fact that the trip of last "week was In "Oregon, one might have felt himself transferred to the wilds of New Mexico again. "The interior ot Southeastern Oregon affords a great field for the mineralogist, the explorer, the entomologist and the admirer of grand and weird scenery. "These are the first traces of cltfTdwellers that have been found above the' 4d degree," AS TO LOGGING STREAMS Interests ot Small Holder of Timber. Should Be Cared For. PORTLAND, Feb. 17.'-To the Editor.) The river improvement bill which Is now before our Legislature should never pass under any circumstances as an improve ment bill alone. It should ba an Improve ment bill and log-driving bill together Then none but lumbermen will be in clined to take hold and Improve streams. If it passes aa a general improvement bill all kinds of combinations will be ap plying for charters. I see that Mr. Booth is going (to try to have the rate of tollage cut down to 23 cents per thousand. That Is' excessive on a great many streams. No Improvement bill should pass unless It be on an interest basis. Parties getting charters on streams should be forced to make sworn statements to County Courts" as to cost of Improvements and then al lowed not. over 12 to IS per cent toll in cash for a term not to exceed five years. Jf tbe bill passes in any other shape, it wlll.be an Injury to the smalt holder of timber, for the- large bolder of timber can and will railroad' his- Umber if charges are too high, but the smalt bolder will have no chance to avoid it. No bill should pass that will not be a benefit to small holders. The bill, even amended aa con templated, will be a graft. On the Manistee River, in Michigan. there was Just such a company given a charter to Improve that river. There was more money spent in Jawsults than in Improving the river. Any toll set on Improvements is Just eo much against the standing timber on a stream unless the owners remove It by rail. Just tninic or cents per thousand on about 15.000,000.000 feet of timber on tbe Nehaletn Kiver. Timber In places is being sold for 25 cents per thousand, land in cluded. With the enormous, amount of timber standing- In this state, members of the Legislature should hesitate before passing laws that will be a detriment to small holders of timber. V In Washington the law provides for the driving of togs as well as improving. J. A. BUCKLEY. Relit Mar Ride In Frnnce. NEW TORK, Feb. 18,-In the hope that he may secure a license from, the French Jockey Club, Johnny Relff, the Jockey, 'sailed for France today. He believes that as he has recovered damages from a French newspaper that charged him with unfair riding he. will be allowed to rids during the coming season. Fleasant to Take. Tho finest quality of granulated loaf sugar is used in the manufacture of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and-lhe roots used in Its preparation give it a flavor similar to maple syrup, making it quite pleasant to take. Mr. W. L. Rod erick, of Poolsville, Md In speaking of this remedy, says: "I have used Cham- Deriain a ougn nemeay wnn my children for several years, and can truthfully say It Is the best preparation of the kind I know of. The children like to take It, and it has 'no Injurious after-effect." "For sale oy tui cruggists. RUSH ST. LOUIS EXHIBIT A. F. MILLER URGES THE NECES SITY OF HASTE. In Order to Make Fine Displays of "Wool and Grain, Work Should Resin at Once. A. F. .Miller, of Sellwood. a prominent member of the Grange, Patrons of Hus bandry, who has had much to do with preparing fair exhibits, says that now is the time to prepare the proposed Bt Louis exhibit. "The matter of getting this special ex hibit of grains and wool should be ntarted at once." he said, "for If there is delay It will not be an easy matter to get to gether such an exhibit as should be made at the SL Louis Fair. A great many va rieties of grains will be required, and these have to be specially cultivated to get the best results. My experience has been that the sooner this work is started the better. It will cost much less. Seed grain should be given out to farmers in different portions ot the state and culti vated with a view to producing the very best specimens of the different grains. I would scatter this work widely, so that if one locality falls down, good results will be obtained In another. It Is my Judgment that this work should be started at once. Tho best wool exhibit can be gathered In the Spring than later. One of the state commissioners said that the appropriation will not be available for this purpose for 90 days, but if the work of preparing an exhibit Is held up much valuable time will be lost that ought to be used In starting the distribution of seed for grains. Let us get to work on this exhibit for St. Louis at once." MIIlVALIvID A CITV. "Wheels ot Government Will JJe Started Cp In Ninety Days. William Shindler. who led the fight for the incorporation of Mtlwaukie. expresses his ratlsfaction over the. result. With some others he commenced the agitation1 a year and a half ago, and, although beaten once or twice, at last won the fight. At the election held under the orders of the Clackamas County Court Mr. Shindler was elected Mayor. He said yesterday that 90 days after passage of the bill another election will be held. That will bo May. Ten days' no tice will be given for this election. Af ter that the wheels of the new city gov. eminent, will be set In motion. According to the charter of the city gov ernment, only 3 mills can be levied, which would seem to make It Impossible to im pose very much of a burden on the resi dents. Probably the only officers who will receive compensation will be the City Marshal and the Recorder, which may be In the form of fees. Mr. Shindler said yesterday that the citizens would have the power to make improvements If they want them. If they make Improve ments they wilt" have to pay for them. The matter of a wnter supply will be considered. It has been held tip until the adoption of the charter. The powder house question will receive attention very soon. SIAY POOL THEIR FRJJIT. Some Prominent I'rnltmen Tnlklns; of Tills Way of Handling Crops. Having failed In the efforts made to or ganize a general fruit union, the pro moters of the union movement are seri ously considering the feasibility of form ing one or more fruit pools the coming season. C H. Welch, president of tho Multnomah Fruitgrowers' Market Asso ciation, said yesterday hat that organi zation would be maintained intact and that the annual meeting for election of directors and officers would be held In the Odd Fellows' Hall. Grand avenue and East Pine street, March 1. "We shall hold this organization to gether. In the hope that it may yet be tne Dasis of a fruit union in Multnomah County. It has a small capital stock, and Is legally organized. After a time grow ers will come to- their senses and be glad to organize. A few of us. perhaps eight or ten, will pool our fruit this season. No definite steps have, yet been made In that direction, but we have talked It over, and the scheme finds favor. If we do this growers at Russellville will likely do the same, and then we shall find out Just what can bo accomplished from such combina tions." RESTORING ROADWAY?. East Oak, East Washington nnd Cnlon Avenue First on the List. East Oak ntrot will lm mnA a improved street between East Water and East Sixteenth streets. The- street Is al ready Improved between Eist Twelfth and East-Sixteenth. Four blocks of. ele vated roadway will hive to be built two blocks between East -Water and East Second, one between Union and Grand avenue and one between Grand avenue and East Sixth street. The old roidway between East Water and East Second has been removed preparatory to rebuilding. All the roadway will .be re built on solid pile foundation. There is a general movement to restore all the dilapidated roadways. Union ave nue between East Oak and East Morri son streets will be replanked. Est Wash ington, between East Water street and Union avenne, will be rebuilt entirely. East Morrison roadway between East Water and Union avenue has Just been fully repaired. It still remains to repair East Water street roadway between East Oak and East Yamhill. East Stark be tween East-Water and Union avenue and Belmont street roadways. This would make a clear-up between Union avenue and the river, and put all tbe streets In good condition, probably to last until fills should be made. To Room Mllvraukle. Thexesldents of Mllwaukle and the sur roundings aro Invited to attend a mass meeting at tho Town Hall next Monday evening to organize an improvement club to work for better conditions. A perma nent organization to be called a Real Estate Association Is to be farmed, who3e object will bo to assist in tho sale of property In Mllwaukle and in the district surrounding. Every effort will be put forth to build up Mllwaukle and make tbe place Inviting to settlers. Span Svrinirs Clear. The false work tinder the east side spin of Madison bridge, where the trusses have been erected, were pulled out yes terday, and the span swung clear. There has been little interruption of street-car traffic, and none for general business, since the work was started. Superinten dent Keath says after putting in some more braces on tho spin next to the ap proach all the work will be completed. Dr. Donne's Condition. Rev. N. Doane, D. D., pioneer Methodist minister, living at Portsmouth, in retire ment, was iiH a serious condition Mon day, but yesterday Mrs. -Doane reported he was somewhat' better. Dr. Doane Is a pioneer of 1S19. For a year or more ho has been too feeble to leave his home. He is very kindly remembered among .the old residents of the state. East Side Notes. Mrs. Julia Wilson, of the East Side, Is visiting the family of Burton Mays, at The Danes. The fire companies responded to an alarm of fire from box 215, "Railroad nnd Russell streets. Albino, it was a chimney fire and no damage wis done. A baskefsoclal "wilt be given Saturdav night In the St. Johns schoolhouse for the benefit of the school library.

Federal offlcers on tho Yukon River confirm tbe story that a gold strike equaling that of the Klon dike has been made In Tanana "Valley, says a dispatch to tha Chronlclo from Tacoma. Wash. Two thousand miners are stampeding thither from Nome, Dawson, Eagle and Rampart. Some of them will probably perish, as tbe weather through out the Yukon Valley has been most se vere. The stampeders are taking only enough supplies to last them on the Jour, ney. This may endanger the lives of all. since provisions are very short In the new camp. United States Commissioner Claypoot writes from Circle that 600 claims have been recorded In the new district, which Is officially known as Fairbanks, being named after Senator Fairbanks. Bottles of coarse gold have been brought to Com missioner Claypool. fully confirming tho richness or the strike. Pedro.

Tho widely her alded discovery of formalin as a cure for bloodpoisonlng la now declared by New York physicians to be a failure. Tests which they have made are said to have shown that formalin Is only a temporary check to the growth of germs, and in the long run proves an Injury to the patient. Rabbits infected with bloodpolson germs and subjected to formalin treatment died several hours sootier than rabbits simi larly Infected and not placed under the treatment. General George F. Shrady says he re gards the result of the tests conducted by the bacteriological expert of the Health Department as confirming his view anil that of many others of the profession that tbe formalin treatment was a failure. "It has gone the way ot many other One may sail the seas and that men of affairs, who nor the Inclination, whether on ple&rare bent or business, to use those medicines which cause excessive purgation and then leave the Internal organs In a constipated condition. Symp of Figs Is not built on those lines. It acts naturally, acts effectively, cleanses, sweetens and strengthens the Internal organs and leaves them In a healthy condition. If In need of a laxitke remedy the most excellent Is Syrup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative Is required the safe and scientific plan Is to consult a competent physician and not to resort to those medicines which claim to core all manner of diseases. The California Fig Symp Co. was the first to manufacture & laxatlve'remedy which would give satisfaction to all; a laxative which physicians could sanction and one friend recommend to another ; so that today Its sales probably exceed all other laxatives combined.
