REFORMS
Ballinger Returns to'Take Up
Duties in the Land
Office.
GENERAL SHAKE-UP COMING
Will Get Rid of More Red Tape.
Thinks Coal Lauds Should Be
Sold In Larger Lots Advo
cates Land Court.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Aug. 20. (Special.)
R. A. Ballinger, Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office, leaves tomorrow for
Washington after a Coast tour of Land
Offices and a vacation of more than two
months. He will immediately give the
General Land Office another shaking up
and expects to complete the reorganiza
tion of the department before Congress
convenes.
This probably means another wholesale
reassignment of clerks and probably, as
many dismissals from the service as
greeted Commissioner Ballinger's intro
duction into the office early this year.
More of the red tape is to be abolished
and more of modern methods will displace
precedents established when the Land
Office was opened and followed-rellgiously
ever since.
Ballinger's law partners expect him
to resign and return to Seattle before
the end of Winter. Ballinger himself
said tonight that he had not fixed a
definite date for resigning from the
Iand Office,, but hoped to be able to
leave Washington early in the corn
ins: year. He will remain however,
until he completes the reorganization
of the General Land Office and se
cures Congressional action on his
recommendations.
The moat important of the Land
Commissioner's recommendations will
be an insistence upon amending the
act limiting the purchase of coal lands
to 160 acres. Ballinger insists that the
Government should sell its coal, lands
in lots of from 1000 to 2000 acres
apiece, the Increased acreage being
necessary to permit the development
of coal properties in .the West.
In all probability the Commissioner
will recommend the creation of land
courts to supplant the present Land
Office organization. The recommenda
tion depends upon the attitude of the
Secretary of the Interior and the feel
ing In Congress, which might prevent
a change in the present policy. A
greater appropriation for land office
'work and an Increase in the forces
at many offices will be urged.
ALMOST CARRIED OUT BY TIDE
Thrilling Rescue of Three Men at
Newport Beach.
NEWPORT, Or., Aug. 20. (Spe
cial.) Richard Madison, North Char
rington and Ted Crawford, three well
known business men of Dallas, nar
rowly escaped death in the breakers
at the entrance to Taqulna Bay yes
terday afternoon.
The three men secured a rowboat
yesterday noon and rowed down the
bay until they approached the bar. A
strong tide was running out at the
time and before the men realized it
the boat was caurht and was drift
ing out to sea.
It was soon observed by the look
out at the Yaquina Bay Llfesaving
Station and when it was apparent that
the men were losing ground and were
in great danger he sounded the alarm
calling out the crew. By this time the
hoat was drifting toward the rocks at
the end of the abandoned Jetty works.
Charles Anderson, known locnllv as
"Sea-Lion" Charley, accompanied by
Lee Doty, of Newport, were In a boat
on the bay, and seeing the danger
t)f the men ran into the breakers and
succeeded in- getting a line to them.
Soon afterward the llfesaving crew
arrived and pulled both boats into
safety. By the time the rescue was
completed a large crowd had collected
on the north beach to watch It. ' An
derson and Doty were highly praised
for their venture into the breakers and
to them belongs the chief honor of
the reecue, though the services of the
Government lifesavers were needed to
complete it.
MYSTERY OP RANCHER SOLVED
Halfbreed Finds He Was Burned In
Big Campflre.
" HELENA, Mont., Aug. 20. (Special.)
The mystery of the disappearance of A. D.
Gill, a well-known Northern Montana
ranchman and cattleowner. is solved. He
was murdered and cremated. The cause
leading up to the tragedy enacted on the
lonely mountain Is yet a mystery. A. D.
Gill was seen alive in October of last
year when he left the Coburn ranch,
bound presumably for the Missouri River.
After several weeks had gone by his ab
sence became generally known, but no ef
fort was made to trace him until the fol
lowing Spring, when his brothers came
out from the East and made some in
quiries. These efforts were fruitless be
yond establishing the fact a young half
breed, in knocking around, had stumbled
upon the carcass of a recently killed white
horse, branded as was Gill's horse and
with a red stained back. . .
' A half-breed nomed Sorrett last week
Journeyed to the place where the bones
of the horse lay bleaching in the sun,
and gave the ground another inspection.
Not far from these bones he found evi
dence of a big campflre and kicking up
the ashes he found the lower Jawbone of
a man with one end burned away, and
the united ulna and radius. These sat
isfied him of the manner in which Gill had
met his death.

Sunday Closing Satisfactory.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Aug. 20. (Spe
cial.) The first fruits of the Sunday
closing law in this city are extremely
satisfactory to those who favor the
statute. Every saloonkeeper re
Bpected Mayor France's order to keep
his place of business closed, and as a
result there was not a drunken man
seen on the streets, nor au arrest
made. This is an unusual record Jn
the history of the town. Mayor France
intends to have the law enforced un
less there Is a change of sentiment in
the other towns of the county. .

demise. .
Ta-wa-toi was not only the tribal
chief, but he was a fine specimen of
an Indian In physique and one of the
best (ndlans on the reservation. He
was free from two of the worst vices
of his fellows, those of drinking and
gambling, and, though uneducated, was
held in high esteem by his subjects. The
Cayuse tribe is the largest in point of
numbers of any on the reservation.

No-shirt, of the Walla Wallas. Peo, the
hereditary chief of the once mighty
Umatillas, is hopelessly Insane and is

E FINE RESORT
Regions on Upper Deschutes
Are Beautiful.
COUNTRY OF DISTANCES
Beautiful Views of Mountains, Dry,
High Climate, and Many Natur
al Wonders Make Ideal
Place for Vacation.
BY A. W. PRESCOTT.
'BEND, Or., Aug- 20. (Staff Correspon
dence.) The attractiveness of the Upper
Deschutes as a Summer resort is rec
ognized and proclaimed by all who have
visited this part of the state, and from
every visitor is heard the prediction that
when a railroad has penetrated this re
gion there will be c heavy travel here
every season from the- Willamette Val
ley and from Portland. This muc.i may
easily be said without drawing any com
parisons to the detriment of the Coast
resorts, to which the Summer travel is
now directed.
In every respect the Deschutes, offers
attractions radically different from those
found at the beach. Here is a dry cli
mate at an elevation of 3600 feet above
the sea. The nights are cold and the
days not excessively hot, as they fre
quently are in the mountain resorts on
the western slope of the Cascades. Here
is a broad, level country, with ' timber
extending down to the banks of a stream
of nearly ice-cold mountain .ater. The
air is clear, healthful and invigorating.
From favorably located spots along the
river a view of the river and sno
capped mountains may be had that can
not be excelled for beauty anywhere else
In the state. While distance will pre
clude this from becoming a popular over
Sunday resort, as the beaches are. It
is certain to become a well-known re
treat for city people who seek Summer
homes for their families. Innumerable
locations are to be found for ideal Sum
mer residences, away from the crowds
of more accessible resorts and surround
ed by every condition that encourages
outdoor life and activity.
Region of Distances.
This is a region of great distances,
but where distances - do not count. To
men, women and chilaren seeking to
build up strong constitutions a 15-mtla
horseback ride over the plains is vastly
more beneficial than all the drugs a doc
tor could prescribe, and after a 'few
days such a trip becomes an easy Jaunt.
A five-mile walk up the" river and back
again on a fishing trip Is pretty long
for the maiden Just from the city, but
those who have come here have found
that a tramp of twice the distance is
but a good appetizer. The high, dry
atmosphere, the clear skies, the cool, re
freshing breezes, put new. life into the
system and revive the spirits of those
in ill health.
Fishing on the Deschutes and its trib
utaries is an attractive ' eport. for the
fisherman Is pretty sure of reward for
his efforts. Trout are caught weighing
as much as eight or ten pounds, and are
numerous enough to keep the listierman
interested. While the Deschutes River
isnh'rough most of its course, too swift
for boating, there are stretches some
distance above Bend where rowing is
practicable.
Many Attractions for Visitors.
Among the attractions of particular in
terest to visitors are the ice caves, the
lava beds, Benham Falls, and the natural
parks of the yellow pine forests. Sixteen
miles from Bend is an ice cave, from
which ice may be taken at any season
of the year. The cave has an opening
100 feet in diameter, in the level surface
of the plain. Climbing down the Jagged
edges of the wall 60 feet, one comes to
an incline, which, followed down some
40 feet further, leads to the. beds of solid
ice. Here are solid blocks of ice many
feet in thickness. How thick the ce is,
no one knows. Manager O'Kane. of the
Hotel Bend, secured his supply of ice
there one Summer and in doing so cut
down 12 feet and back into the wall
about the same distance. Presumably
the ice is formed by chemical action and
not by cold from the earth, for, upon be
ing taken . out, the ice remains frozen
four times as long as the Ice taken from
surface ponds.
The lava beds, of which no descrip
tion can give an adequate conception, are
an interesting sight for the visitor. Here
great blocks of volcanic rock, many of
them as large, as a house, are thrown to
gether in every imaginable position,
forming deep chasms and holes and high,
sharp peaks. To climb over the lava
bed is almost impossible but it is inter
esting to go out upon it far enough to
see the results of the terrific - forces that
have been at work in ages past..
Benham Falls and Pine Forests.
Benham Falls is not one precipitous
drop of water but Is a succession of
falls where the Deschutes River plunges
over the rocks, through narrow channels
and' into deep caverns. The falls are 10
miles south of Bend and in reaching them
one drives through a forest of yellow
pine where no fallen trees, underbrush or
ravines obstruct the way. The trees are (I
clean, straight and tall, the lower
branches being 50 feet from the ground.
To one who has torn his way through
the tangled underbrush ' and over the
fallen logs of a forest west of the Cas-
cades, this broad stretch of open timber
is a 'natural park scarcely excelled for
beauty by any park designed by man. .
Not until a railroad reaches the De
schutes, however, will these many attrac
tions be enjoyed by any considerable
number of residents of Oregon.
GREAT SCARCITY OF TEACHERS
Schools In Danger of Losing Appor
tionment of School Fund.
KLAMATH FALLS, 6r., Aug. 20.
(Special.) The examination for teach
ers has Just been completed, and but
live applicants were successful in get
ting papers. This will leave a great
scarcity of teachers in this county.
There are no .less than eight districts
and possibly many more that will have
no teacher, and as a result may lose
their apportionment of the school fund.
These districts are paying from $60 to
$80 per month, and have made every
effort to get teachers.
The Normal schools have been writ
ten to without results, and the County
Superintendent of this county has ad
dressed letters to several other coun
ties asking for teachers. It is hard to
explain why teachers will not come
here to teach, as barring the un
pleasant trip in, conditions are good.
The average term of school for the
last two years has been over eight
months. '
THREE LOST ON OLYMPUS
PARTY FROM MOUNTAINEERS'
CLUB CONFUSED IN FOG.
Find Camp by Accident, but . Two
Women Have Made Ascent.
Glacier Named for One.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 20. (Special.)
A. W. Archer, W. M. Price and F. O. Mer
rill have returned to Seattle after naving
been lost for three days on the side of
Mount Olympus, a mountain peak that
has only been scaled twice. For 72
hours they wandered about half frozen,
almost starved and suffering intensely
before they accidently found their camp.
The trio had started ahead of a party of
the Mountaineers' Club to blaze a trail to
the summit but became lost in fogs and
rains. Two women members of the Moun
taineers' Club have succeeded in
reaching the top of the highest peak of
rugged and almost inaccessible Mount
Olympus. They are Miss Anna Hubert, a
teacher in the Seattle High School, and
Dr. Cora Smith Eaton, a' practicing physi
cian of this city. Miss Hubert, who is
now considered the pluckiest mountain
climber the club has ever developed, made
the ascent first. The next day Dr. Eaton
went up. This gives Miss Hubert the
distinction of having been the first wom
an who ever "scaled the great west peak,
8250 feet in height.
The other members of the club who
reached the top of the west peak are:
L. A. Nelson, leader of the Mountaineers;
Professor Henry Landes Nelson, First
Lieutenant Charles Landes. E. E.
Richards, W. M. Price, F. A. Plum. Pro
fessor C. E. Waver, A. W. Archer, Pro
fessor Theodore C. Fry'e, Professor J. D.
Flett. John Best, Professor H. C. Stevens.
This is the second party that . ever
ascended the great west peak, the first
one, a military party, making the ascent
17 - years ago. The great glacier at the
west of the main peak of Olympus has
been named Hubert glacier in honor of
the plucky woman who first visited it.
