SLIDE SHUTS OFF WATER BLOW-OFF VALVE BROKEN MONTHS AGO BY FALLING ROCK. IAri "i ' 11)1 Grocery. Hardwire Engineer and Water Superintendent Carry Tools Four Miles Over Dark Trail to Pipeline. OREGON CITY, Or., Aug. 27. (Spe cial.) A mountain slide last Winter was the cause of the broken blow-off valve on the South Fork pipeline which caused a water famine in Oregon City, West Linn, Willamette and Bolton Fri day night. Harold A. Rands, chairman of the Board ofWater Commissioners and the engineer who built the line, and Fred McCausland, superintendent of the water department, returned to Oregon City from the intake today. Mr. Rands andMr. McCausland left Oregon City for the intake at 7 o'clock last night in an automobile. It was necessary for them to walk four miles over a dark mountain trail, carrying tools on their backs, to reach the place where the break occurred. The break was soon repaired, and by night a steady stream was flowing into the reservoir. Last Winter a miniature slide cov ered a blow-off valve in 'the canyon of the Upper Clackamas River, more than 20 miles from here. Watchman Morris yesterday attempted to take rocks from the valve when the valve suddenly flew oft, almost knocking him into the Clackamas. The valve was four inches in diameter, and the water shot up in the air many feet. It is thought that the weight of the rocks on tho valve prevented it from flying on before, as it was broken by the slide months ago. PEARY HOLDS TO THEORY BELIEF IX EXISTENCE OF CROCK KRLAXD REITERATED. Error In Estimate of Distance Slay Have Been Dne to Refraction, Says Explorer. NEW YORK. Aug. 27. Rear-Admiral Robert E. Peary reiterates confidence in the existence of Crockerland and his belief that he saw it in July, 1906. The Admiral's statement, telegraphed to the Tribune from his Summer place in Maine, was called forth by tho fact that Ensign Fitzhugh Green,, the nal offi cer assigned to the McMlhan Crocker land Arctic expedition, in announcing to the Navy Department his safe arriv al at Copenhagen, August 19, made no report of whether the expedition found Crockerland. Admiral Peary said: "It may be that McMillan and I were both misled by the nearly permanent clouds of condensation ov?r persisting lanes of water, or unusual refraction, which occurs in the Arctic regions, may have lifted into view land that was in reality well below the horizon, and my estimate of the distance of Crockerland may have been too moderate. It will be well to await the completion of Stefansson's discoveries before dismiss ing Crockerland." $30,000 THEATER ASSURED Oregon City to Have New Playhouse Downtown Next Year. OREGON CITY. Or., Aug. 27. (Spe cial.) W. A. Long, proprietor of the Star Theater, will build a modern thea ter with a seating capacity of 1000 per sons next Summer on the main business street.

STATE'S RIGHT AT STAKE Government Notifies Counties Con taining Lands Not to Place on Taxroll, as Action Might Block Back Collections. EtJGENE, Or.. Aug. 27 '(Special.) Representatives of the 18 Oregon & California Railway land grant counties' will meet in Eugene tomorrow upon in vitation of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce to consider the proposal of the Eugene organization that the grant lands be placed on the tax roll, re gardless of Congressional action re vesting the title to this land in the Government. The position taken by the Eugene Chamber is that the right of the state to tax this land is supreme and. that the Government cannot. arbitrarily set aside 1 this right of taxation, after it has once been vested in the state. Deal Held Not Completed. The further position is taken that the transaction between the railroad and the Government is not yet complete and even If the Government has the power to deny the state the right to tax the land, the state would have a right to tax the railroad's interest in the land which has been held to amount to $2.50 an acre. The opponents of the plan to retain the land on the tax roll hold that title has been revested in the Government and' that therefore the land can not be taxed. Letters have been received from sev eral of the counties announcing their intention to send representatives to the meeting tomorrow night. Ex-Governor West and Attorney-General Brown have been invited to attend the meeting. Plea Made IV ot to Tax. The Government, through Louis Sharp, special agent of the general land office, has notified the counties not to place the land on the tax rolls, and that such action may prevent the payment of back taxes amounting to 1 1,600,000, as provided by Congress, to the land grant counties.

HOT WEATHER SETS FORESTS IN FLAME Three Big Fires Reported to Exist in Cascade Moun . tains in Washington. 150 MEN FIGHT BLAZES One Fire Running- Among Tree Tops Destroys 1000 Acres of Govern ment and Railroad Timber and Is Beyond Control. TACOMA, Wash.. Aug. 27. (Special.) Hot weather has started the forest fire menace for the first time this sea son. Reports from 'different sections of Southwest Washington show that brush fires in many places are becom ing threatening. Three big fires are said to be burning between the Sound and the summit of the Cascades along the Great Northern and Northern Pa cing lines. Morn than 150 fire fighters are at tempting to bring the fires under con trol. A fire which runs among tree tops and is the most difficult , to com bat, destroyed 1000 acres of Govern ment and Northern Pacific timber near the main line of the road near Lester. It is still beyond control. A forest ranger in a station on the summit of the Cascades discovered a fire raging through a vast tract of Government timber on the Upper Wh'itechuch River. Its actual extent is unknown. Fire wardens and patrols are watching the situation closely. SEATTLE, Aug. 27. A fire which was discovered in the Snoqualmle Na tional forest, along the main line of the Northern Pacific Railroad a few miles west of the summit of the Cas cade Mountains, today threatened to destroy the railroad tracks and the station at Kennedy, about 70 miles from Seattle. Industrious fighting by 150 men saved the railroad property. Tonight the fire is under control along the right of way, but is spreading back into the timber. SAJTTIAM FOREST HAS BLAZE Fire Near Detroit Is Extinguished by Force of Hungers. ALBANY, Or., Aug. 27. (Special.) The Santiam National forest experi enced its first forest fire of the year last week, when a small fire started two miles west of Detroit, near 'Berry. News of the fire was brought to Al bany last night by C. C. Hall super visor of the forest, who returned to his headquarters here from a tour of in rection and marking trails. The fire started on patented land, which had been cut over, but because it was near large bodies of timber in the reserve, the Government rangers fought it and succeeded in confining It to an area of about two acres. The fire was discovered soon after it started and by trenching around it promptly, the fire fighters were able to keep it within these narrow limits. While some campfires have been found burning and extinguished, this is the only fire which has secured a start in this section of the state this sea son. This is because it has been an unusually wet Summer. MAY FALL TODAY "inVSEJTTLED WEATHER" PREDICT ED FOR PORTLAND VICIXITV. Temperature Here la 7S, While Pendle. ton at 103 Is Second Hottest Place In Country. Seventy-three degrees, 23 below the maximum of Friday, was the highest temperature in Portland yesterday. It was reached at 4 P. M., and until noon 65 was the highest. The humidity was 61, however, as compared with 48 on Saturday, and while the forenoon was dull and chilly, the afternoon seemed warm enough for the hundreds of pic nickers who lived up to their Saturday-made plans. The showers that appeared Imminent yesterday morning may come today. "Unsettled weather," Is the prediction for Portland and vicinity, with "cooler temperatures and southwesterly winds." The hot wave of last week has been broken generally west of the Cascades from Vancouver, B. C to the Umpqua valley. Maximum temperatures at bu reau points yesterday were: Roseburg, 82; Marshfleld. 62) Tacoroa. 86; Se attle, 72.

Cooler weather Is prom ised the wheat belt today. The highest temperature at any United States weather station yester day was 104, at Jacksonville, Fla., one degree higher than that at Pendleton. Sermon Thoughts THE evangelization, the realization and the operation of Christianity were the topics under which Rev. A. L. Crim. of the East Side Christian Church, divided his theme yesterday morning, basing It on the first verse of the 12th chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans. "The propagation of Christianity is persuasive,". said Mr. Crlm. "It resorts to no conscription. Everybody must embrace it by free choice. It is not only persuasive but social. It is meant for no class, recognizes no playing to the galleries. It must be carried to all men as brethren. "Its realization is immediate. God was always ready. Is always ready. Its realization means the acceptance of the standard of the Lord. If all would ac cept the standard of the Lord, all the short yard-sticks, all the light weights and all the false markings would dis appear." AT St. Francis Catholic Church yes terday morning at the high mass Rev. John Costello spoke-on the edu cation of children. "There la no more noble undertaking than the education of children," said Father Costello. ''And there is no more Important work. As the little minds of children unfold like the lilies in the field they must be care-, fully nurtured with the water of knowl edge. The gentle breath of kindness and sympathy must refresh the open ing blossoms and the Invigorating and life-giving sun of Christian precepts must play on their leaves and petals, lest they be blighted. "Without a foundation of Christian ity there is no real Christianity." The Christian home, the unit of so cty, was the toplo for the sermon preached by Rev. Alexander Beers yes terday morning. The sermon followed a well-arranged cradle roll exercise planned by Mrs. Beers ajid carried out by different members of the congre gation. Mr. Beers eald In part: "The home stands first in order, and pre-eminently first in importance. Its history antedates that of the entire a and the state, and it has been more potent in creating an ideal civiliza tion than either the church or the state. "The well-regulated home is the ante-chamber to heaven. - As order is the first law of the universe, so the home must represent organization and discipline at the highest. The noblest in character and the purest in life must be constantly kept before the young people as proper ideals. Every day example in the home life counts for more in the formation of character than volumes written by specialists on the bringing up of children." STRAND BILL UNUSUAL MISS ETHEL -CLARISE.
