Development Hinges on Rich
ness of Deposits.
TESTS HELD SUFFICIENT
Preparations Reported Under Way
to Exploit 1'ields Near Scap- .
poosc and Columbia City.
Plans for the possible development
of iron ore bodies along the Columbia
river near Scappoose and Columbia
City are being projected by local and
eastern financial interests, with the
ultimate object of producing iron on
a. large scale In I'ortland if it Is
established that the iron ore is pres
ent in sufficient quantities to warrant
exploitation.
Samples of Iron oro taken from the
hills back of Scappoose and analyzed
by H. M. Parks, director of the Ore
con bureau of mines, showed an iron
content ranging: from 49 to 68 per
cent, which, is said to compare fa
vorably to the iron being mined at
present in Minnesota, If such ore can
be found in sufficient quantities it
is expected that all the equipment
necessary to produce the pig iron will
be installed.
"The samples of ore taken from the
hills along the Columbia river have
proved very promising under analysis,"
eaid JJr. Parks yesterday. "If this ore
can be found in large quantities there
would be no question as to its devel
opment, but it is essential that at
least 1, 000.0(H) tons of ore should be
Available before an iron-producing
plant could be considered here. At
present, approximately 100,000 tons
have been "blocked out," but there are
Indications that much, larger bodies
r4iay be present."
FonalbiUtira Are Sonfcht.
The Oregon bureau of mines and
the Portland Chamber of Commerce
"have been co-operating for some time
in an endeavor to bring to light the
exact possibilities of the iron ore de
posits which have been known to exist
in the Columbia river hills for a num-,
ter of years in the past.
Under the joint recommendation of
the Chamber of Commerce and the bu
reau of mines, two eastern men who
were familiar with the iron and steel
industry, A. M. Martin of Chicago
and J. W. Klannery of Cleveland, O.,
came to Portland last spring and in
vestigated the iron deposits in the
hills above Columbia City. Following
their investigation a corporation
known as the Milton Development
company was formed which included
local financial interests, for the pur
pose of further investigation and pos
sible future development of the ore.
TlnibPrmra Are Interested.
Local timbermen who owned large
ereas of loixeed-off land3 in Columbia,
Clatsop and Washington counties
have become interested in the pos
sibilities of the ore-bearing hills on
the Columbia river watershed, and it
is expected that extensive develop
ment plans will be announced in the
near future. ,
C. A. Finley. president of the
Kinley Construction company,, and
11. A. lieppner of the firm of Heppner
company, have acquired large hold
ings above Scappoose on the slopes
of Pisgah mountain, from which the
samples analyzed by the Oregon
bureau of mines were taken, and ex
pect to develop the Iron ore as soon
as the financial status of the com
pany will permit. No stock will be
offered the public from this organi
zation, according to an announcement
by Mr. Kinley yesterday.
"We have known of the existence
of the iron ore bodies along the
Columbia for some time," said P.
Hetherton of the Chamber of Com
merce, yesterday. "It is reasonable
to suppose that pig-iron could be
produced here on a large scale if it
is found that the ore deposits are of
sufficient size to warrant development."

Preservation of the forests, along
The Dalles-wCalifornia highway until
such time as some understanding
may be reached between the owners
and the people of Oregon who are
interested in perpetuating the scenic
beauties of the state, was urged in.
a letter prepared by Governor Olcott
here today and addressed to the
management of the Brooks-Scanlon
Lumber company, with headquarters
at Bend. The governor's letter reads:
My attpntlon Una beon directed by the
state highway department to the fact that
a new cut tins of timber along and on The
Ijh lies-California highway south of Bend
h been started by your company. Aa
you are no doubt aware effort have been
started by this office and others to se
cure the co-operation of everyone inter
ested in preserving as far aa possible, the
irenic beauties along our highways. I
understand the work now in progress may
seriously impair the appearance along that
act-lion of The Dalles-California highway.
It is the plan to secure some legisla
tion which will do justice to everyone con
cerned aa nearly as possible, but at the
mime time preserve the forest strips for
nil time to come. Because euch legisla
tion 19 in prospect the Crown-Willamette
Paper company has voluntarily, at my re
qu st. ceased operations near tho public
hijthwayn in the northwestern part of the

If you could take some such action in the
vicinity of Bend.
The Dalles-California highway. when
completed, promises to be one of the most
m-agniftcent piece of roadway in the en
tire Pacific northwest. All of uf. as citi
zens of the mate, owe a patriotic and
civic duty in endeavoring as far as possible
to preserve our wonderful natural aur
roundiugs. We have no desire to deprive
private holder of the right w-hich they
have in their timber, but we do feI that a
-o-operation between the state and the
timber companies may be aecured which
will be of immense advantage to the state
and consequently to the timber companies
themselves as well in the long run.

at Tantaees yesterday with fun
and frivolity and entertainment for
every turn of taste.
A girl named Irene Records walks
away with headline honors. Fhe Is
another Ray Samuels and makes
capital of all her peculiarities. Irene
doesn't care what becomes of her
features and twists them Into grimaces
that provoke laucbter. She lopes and
runs across the stage and engages
a comedian named Max Cooper in an
argument over a ring.
"Gimme the Ring" is the title of
their act and it is one well known In
big time. Irene took a dozen bows
yesterday after her ukulele specialty
and could have had a dozen more, the
audience liked her so welL
Lorraine Evan is a Mary Pickfordish
type, dainty and girlish, who plays a
violin while her little golden canary
in a cage on the stage replies and ac
companies her In trills and carols.
Miss Evan sings, too, in a beautiful
soft soprano which ascends easily Into
high notes. She puto a personality
into the turn, which, combined with
its novelty, provides further interest.
A flock of-babies. "The Rising Gen
eration," returns with new specialties
and some of the same ones in which
they appeared last season. This ag
gregation of clever children is spon
sored by Maude Daniels. A fascinat
ing little maid dances with the grace
and abandon of one much older and
experienced; a youth of tender years
yodels beautifully and sings in a
sweet contra tenor, and another little
maid sings in a sweet high soprano:
two wee lads are comedians and each
of the several little folk does some
sort of a specialty. The act was
warmly appreciated and applauded.
An artistic and original dance act
is provided by Madame Kdan Rigdon
and her three talented students.
Misses Grace Fenimore Cooper, Peggy
Stewart and Victoria Elliot. Their
series of terpsichorean novelties are
so original that they constantly hold
interest as they develop and quite
take the breath away with their
novelty. "Milady and the Burglar
is a clever treatment In rapid dance
of an episode in a boudoir in which
the three dancers tell a story perfect
lyby means of dance and pantomime.
"The Golly Wog" is an amazing
whirlwind toe dance by Miss Cooper,
who later does a "spirit of the snow,"
a delightful conception.
Wire and Walker are appropriate
ly named, only the darling little girl
named Walker should be named But
terfly. She floats In mid-air, sus
pended by a noose about her head
while she acts as a helper, carrying
hoops and rings to her clever cannr
Mr. Wire, dancing and balancing mar-
veiousiy on a wire. He does two
amazing turns, going completely
through a set of hoops while he bal
ances on the wire. The act won tre
mendous appause.
John K. Hen-shaw and Grace Averv

see near and distant objects perfectly, whether school work and reading
have strained their eyes. Poor eyesight will hold back their progress
defective vision will handicap them for the race of life. Do not neglect
your duty to your children. Give their eyes a chance.
Optical specialists, scientists and physicians throughout the country are trying to
awaken people to the vital importance of CONSERVATION OF VISION. Dr. A.
P. De Keyser is one of the few eye experts in the Northwest whose knowledge quali
fies him to instruct, in the care of the eyes. At the National Convention of Optome

Dangerous Thought Unit.
WASHINGTON". Oct. 18. (Special. )
Ohmoto-Kyo, a strange Japanese
cult, which predicts Japanese world
supremacy, has recently made such
strides that the Tokio government
has adopted vigorous measures to
prevent the spread of its doctrines.
International 'nterest has been at
tracted to the organization, which is
characerlzed in Japan as the danger
ous thought cult.
The Ohmoto-Kyo is not accorded
official recognition as a religion and
the Japanese government has con
fiscated some of its literature.
The cult was founded by Nao Da
guchi, widow of a small Japanese
grocer in the village of Ayabe. The
widow was not an educated woman.
