In f"rmr years it stood about t-n ft
ihom bitch water, with a maximum diameter
.Nov hitch wn:er of atxut 2v IVeL. Be
tween high and low water It wm much
fro-led by wir action. Ita diameter lessened
to about flvo or six f-et. It formed a
romtnnt landmark and auld to enfrln
reae!a. Between tht n k ami th Cum
Head ahora the bottom la mora or lts

exceed about lo feet. On th channel aida

tha north, between the ro-k and th aanda
sf tha North Spit, la nearly ltw-0 feet, ba
twaen th H-foot low-water contour.
In April. I'.N.i. the action of the waves
finally cut away tha oft rix-k between high

Irwer MarklnaT I rceil.
The rock la belieTed t mark tha end of
a submersed reef extend. Dt to shore at or
Bear Coita Head, and a aurvey of this reef
uuld a. so be necessary to determine how
far toward ahora tha rock should ba re
moved. Any operations looking to removal
sT any portions of thia reef would of neces
sity ba expensive, owlnc to tha shortness
f the season durins which such operations
arouM ba practicable In a situation as ex
iosed as la this point.
It Is tha opinion of th!s fTIc that, prop

sot an unreasonable obstruction to navt ra
tion; that If removed tha marking of tha
reef of which It forma the point Would like
ly ba mora difficult thnn If tha rotk wera

It la believed that a spindle- should ba
placed on tha rock, an operation which
would not be extremely dlfTicnlt of per
formance nor expensive, and which nitirht be
accomplished by tha Itghthiuse establish
ment from funds at Its disposal. ihouid
this be Impracticable, a buoy could be p.uced
aomewhnt closer to tha rock than Its pres
ent moorings and leave a saf channel of
greater width than Is now shown by the
buoy. The prwnr of th rock In Its
present condition wou J make the channel
e.isier to mark. etth-r by a splndia or by a

wera removed. Thts vjew Is concurred in
by thoaa familiar with navigation In tha

Jave over the Northern Pncifio this
mornlnr for the Panama Canal, which,
by the raclflc route. Is 7000 miles from
the mouth of the Columbia River. The
enrlneer officers are under orders to
proceed to view the blsj ditch, as are
others In the service mho are ensraged
In similar construction, and they ex
pect to be five weeks In traveling; to
and from the Canal, which will atve
them a week In which to Inspect the
project. Mr. Kerr will be In their com
pany until they start on the return and
he will travel by easy stages via
Southern cities and through California.
The Journey will be made from Port
land b way of Washington to New
York and" they will embark from there
January 22. A faster trip could be
made by rail to New Orleans and then
by steamer south, but It is thought that
when the Government steamer sails
from New York there will be a party of
engineers aboard. Two years ago
Major Morrow was prepared to visit
the Isthmus on leave, but four days
in advance of his contemplated de
parture he was asked to relinquish his
leave and proceed to Portland aad as
he traveled West he lot ail hope of
ever reaching the Canal one from this

BITULITHIC BID STANDS
Bigclow's right on Raleigh-Street ,
Paring Is Unavailing.
Charging that bltullthio pavement
can ba laid at a good profit at $1.0 a
square yard, and that to pay more than
that Is taking an unfair advantage of
the property-owners, C. A. Bigelow yes.
terday afternoon filed with the Execu
tlve Board, of which he la a member,
a minority report of ths street commit
tee as to R&lelgh, from Fifteenth to
Twenty-eighth streets. He asked that
the bid be rejected and new ones called
for under the Ellis competitive pis
but was overruled by the Board when
a vote was taken.
Tha effort of Mr. Blgelow, who is a
member of the street committee of the
Board, to obtain rejection of the bid for
bltullthlc on this street created a good
deal of Interest. It was unusual, as
generally tab committees of ths Board
act unanimously. The other members
are NV. H. Fltxgerald, chairman, and
R. O. Rector. Both favored awarding
the contract to the Warren Construc
tion Company and won their point.
Councilman Monks, of the First Ward,
where the street In question lies, took
the floor to champion bltullthlc and the
awarding of this particular contract
without further delay. He said that.
while the street committee of the Coun
cil had "killed" more than a million
dollars' worth of hard-surface pave
ments In one week recently, the mem
bers, after careful consideration, did
not see fit to Include this contract, be
cause they realized the work is badly
needed and that the bid was reasonable.
Mr. Blgelow, In moving the adoption
of the minority report, declared that he
had It on good authority that bltullthio
pavement can be laid at a good profit at
$1.40 a square yard: that the price on
this contract Is 11.85: that It was or
dered without competition. It being the
only bid, and that It was Improper to
award It, everything being considered.
W. H. Fitzgerald, chairman of the
street committee of the Board, declared
that residents on the street Involved ex
pressed entire satisfaction with the bid:
that the City Council, which has the
power to order specific brands of pav
ing, had seen fit to order bltullthlc In
this case, and that there Is no reason
why the contract should not be let.
HARNEYGETS NEW HOME
FIXE COURTHOUSE BUILDIXQ
TO REFIiACE OLD STRUCTURE.
County in Excellent Financial Con
dition and General Sentiment
Favors More to Save Records.
BURNS. Or., Jan. 12. (Special.) Tha
most advanced step ever made for
progress In Burns and vicinity was
taken this week by the County Com
missioners' Court, when the decision
was reached that a new courthouse Is
needed, and a three-mlll tax was levied
as a starter of this building fund. The
present county building- Is a wooden
structure, entirely Inadequate and out
of date, and, in the excellent financial
condition of Harnoy County, it was tha
general sense of the community that
the valuable records should be no
longer exposed to ths constant danger
of destruction.
Voicing that sentiment, a large dele
gation of business men and property
owners, many of whom pay taxes upon
property situated In parts of the county
distant from Burns, waited upon the
County Court and talked the matter
over, showing the wisdom and neces
sity of the movement at this time.
Speeches) were made by I. S. Geer. Dr.
W; L. Marsden, Judge William Miller,
Ben Brown, Attorneys G. A. Rembold,
Charles H. Leonard, George S. Slzemore,
Dr. J. W. Geary and others, men repre
senting all Interests.
The contract has been let for a new
school building to cost 130,000, and dur
ing the past two years private enter
prise has constructed three fine busi
ness blocks the Oddfellows, a stone)
building 60 by 100 feet, two stories;
the Masons, a building of brick and
stone, same size; Lunaburg, Dal ton &
Co.. a store building of same size, one
story, and Smith & Boyd, a brick build
ing of same size, two stories. Numerous
new residences have been constructed
also, and a large area of cement side
walks has been laid.
And Just now the City Council has
secured data and estimates for a water
and sewer system that will cost close
to f 100.000, which may be provided for
at th city election in March.
The total tax levy of Harney County
for general purposes, including the
three mills for building fund. Is only 13
mills, while the city tax of Burns Is
only S mills, so It will be seen that,
under a reasonable valuation, the pub
lic burdens of the taxpayer are not op
pressive. With the railroad building In progress
through the county and the prospect
now for local Improvement, there Is
every reason to figure upon a lively
time In the business circles of Burns
during 1912.
Another very Important project Is
also In course of completion. A local
company, backed by some Eastern cap
ital, is developing a water system on
Kmlgrant Creek, some miles north of
Burns, for generating electricity for
power and lighting purposes. The dam
is already built, the buildings for the
machinery and for housing the work
men are constructed, the poles for the
transmission line are cut and dressed,
and everything Is ready for final ac
tion. Attorney John W. Biggs, James
A. Wheeler and H. C. Pearson, repre
senting the Burns company, went to
Portland this week to complete the
transaction with a representative of the
Eastern Investors and to order the
necessary machinery.
EDITOR IS JEJUNI) GUILTY
Tacoma Jury, After 25 Honrs'' De
liberation, Returns Verdict.
TACOMA. Wash., Jan. 12. (Special.)
After 25 hours' deliberation the Jury
In the case of Jay Fox, editor of the
Agitator, official paper of the Home Col
ony anarchists, returned a verdict at 5
o'clock tonight, finding Fox guilty of
sedition but recommending leniency.
The charge against Fox arose from
the publication of an editorial. "Nudes
and Prudes." In which he scored prose
cution of Home colonists who. In hot
weather, were wont to- bathe clad only
In the sun's rays. The Prosecuting At
torney's office charged Fox with sedi
tion, declaring that his article violated
the rights of free press and was con
trary to state law.
Fox did not take the witness-stand
during the trial, but pleaded his own
case before the jury yesterday. The
case was given to the Jurymen at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon and they
failed to reach an agreement until to
night. Two women. Mrs. Lida Kenewell
and Mrs. Josle Hagen, were on the Jury.
Under the law Fox' offense is classed
as a gross misdemeanor. Fox gave
notice of appeal and was released on
bond.

FOR YOUR HAIR
Here Are Fact We Want You
to Prove at Our Risk.
Marvelous as it may seem. Rexall
"iZ" Hair Tonlo has grown hair on
heads that were once bald. Of course
It Is understood that In none of these
cases were "the hair roots dead nor
had the scalp taken on a glazed, shiny
appearance.
When the roots of the hair are en
tirely dead and the pores of the scalp
are glazed over, we do not believe that
anything can restore hair growth.
When Rexall "9 3" Hair Tonle will do
as above stated. It Is not strange that
we have such great faith In it, and that
we claim it will prevent baldness when
used In time. It acts scientifically, de
stroying the germs which are usually
responsible for baldness. It penetrates
to the roots of the hair, stimulating
and nourishing them. It Is a most
pleasant toilet necessity, is delicately
perfumed and will not gum nor per
manently stain the hair.
We want you to get a bottle of
Rexall "93" Hair Tonlo and use It as
directed. If It, does not relieve scalp
irritation, remove dandruff, prevent the
hair from falling out and promote an
Increased growth of hair and in every
way give entire satisfaction, dimply
come back and tell us and without
question or formality we will hand
back to you every penny you paid us
for it.
We lend our endorsement to Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic, and sell it on this
guarantee, because .we believe it is the
best hair tonlo ever discovered. It
comes in two sizes, prices 50 cents and
S1.00.

A second Indictment agalnt Evars
was continued over until the March
term of court and probaby will be dis
missed If there is no appeal from the
result of the forgery trial. One of
his attorneys said it is hardly probable
that an appeal will be taken. The
bank lost heavily through bad loans
made by Evars and failed. The other
directors, aided by subscriptions of nu
merous depositors, made good the
bank's deposits.
