time and the union carpenters have re
fused to handle lumber delivered by Mr.
Johnston. The mtllowners are employ
ing Mr. Johnston and refuse to deliver
lumber through any other firm. The
result of the differences may be some
understanding between capital and labor,
which has been strained in the harbor
for a long time. The millowners claim
the advantage in the fight.

California Engineer Declares Thai
Completion of Elack Eagle Road
Will Open Up Splendid Field
of Base Ores.
ALBANY, Or., Sept. 19. (Cpaclal.)
One of the blpgrest mining dsals in
many years In the Santiam district was
consummated today, when a bond for
a deed was filedhere byDon A. Smith
and T. J. McClary. transferring the
Portla-hd groun of mines to t. U.
Borden, a mining engineer of San
Francisco.
The purchase price Is $50,000. Borden
has two years to accept or reject the
property, but must do $5000 worth"of
development work each year and take
no ore.
The property consists of the Port
land, Alice and Gray Kagle claims and
the Astoria extension of the Portland.
They lie at the head of Dry Gulch on
the northeast side of Quartz Mountain,
less than a mile from the Albany mill
in the old Quartzvllle district.
This property is in IJnn County, 30
miles south of the Gold Creek district,
on the north fork of the Santiam, the
scene of present activity in the San
tiam country.
"The completion of the road Into the
Black Kagle mine will open one of
the largest and strongest mining dls
trlcts in base metals-on the Pacific
Coast.' said E, G. Borden, who is in
Albany today returning from an ex
tensive trip through the Santiam dis
trict. "The work now being done by
the Black Eagle people Is almost cer
tain to Btrike a heavy body of ore In
the next few days, which will give an
Impetus to mining In Eastern Marion
County, producing an activity such as
has never been seen In any district in
Western Oregon."
Mr. Borden says the road from Gates,
on the Corvallfs & Eastern, into the
Gold Creek district, will be completed
by the first of December, It will cost
from $1)!,'j00 to $15,000.
The San Francisco man says the dls
trict along the north fork is 12 miles
wide and perhaps from 50 to 60 miles
long. He says the trend of the veins
Is from northwest to southeast, and the
mineral-bearing rock seems to be in
place for miles. There are five veins
through the district, he says, the two
outside ones bearing galena, the center
one copper, and the two between the
copper and galena carrying rich gold
quartz.
There Is another district in the San
tiam country which has never been
mentioned but which, Mr, Borden says.
is destined to attract attention. It

ASHLAND LIGHT COMPANY
FILES INJUNCTION SUIT.
Charges Technical Defects in City's
Move to Enter Business of Fur
nisliing Lights for Private Use.
ASHLAND, Or., Sept 19. (Special.)
Service was made upon the members of
the municipal government of Ashland
last night in which the Ashland Elec
tric Light & Power Company ask for a
restraining order and injunction to pre
vent the city of Ashland from installing
ana operating a municipal electric light
and power plant In competition with the
corporation. Hearing Is to Be had in the
matter on Wednesday morning next be
fore Judge H. K. Hanna. in the Circuit
Court at Jacksonville. The city has en
gaged a prominent Portland law Arm to
represent it and will fight the case to
the finish.
The suit for injunction arises out of
the recent determination on the. part of
the Council to Install a municipal plant
in Ashland Canyon, where it is pro
posed to generate light and power from
the waters of Ashland Creek and for
which , purpose the Council has already
approved . plans and has actually begun
work. The company seeks to question
the legality of the proceedings of the
Council in the matter as to technical
points and also claims that such com
petition on the part of the Council will
amount to a practical confiscation of the
company's property in this city.
Rumors of the intended suit have been
in circulation for some days past, and it
is the principal subject of discussion
among householders and taxpayers who
are almost .without exception enthusiastic
supporters of the municipal electric
project.

commercial organizations of Harrlsburg
and Scio are represented, respectively,

Albany and Lebanon have offered several
cups, ranging In value from $15 to $40.

Linn County are co-operating heartily
with 'Albany in plans for this year's fair

ley will be permitted to compete for
prizes, and in addition to the valuable
awards for apple exhibits there will be
a number of good premiums for floral
displays. Besides the exhibits, pro

Have but little regard for their per

cheaply they can buy their clothes,
which is certainly a mistake, as
cheap clothes are never good clothes.
They may look pretty good when
you get them, but in a week they
have lost the little good appearance
they had, and the man who pays a
little more and gets tailoring and

price instead of quality. The man who

PROF. ROY MARION WHEELER
Professor Roy Marion Wheeler resigned last June as organist and
choir director of St. David's Parish Church; His honor, ability, clean
and open life proved beyond a doubt that in him the church officials
found one whom It is safe to trust. He was persuaded to remain
until the two weeks in September. As a musician his present attain
ments are equaled only by his promise of greater things to come. His
friends are constantly surprised by the variety and vigor of his cre
ative talent. Rev. H. Edward Mills (now of First Church, Spokane)
' said: "I am truly sorry to have Professor Wheeler leave Seattle. The
only reason I can think of that would make his going an advantage
would be that often a young man finds more openings in a new city."
Rev. P. Edward Hyland (first rector on the East Side of the
river, Portland, but now retired), says: "It gives me much pleasure
to certify to Professor Roy Marlon Wheeler's good moral character
and that he is a member of the Episcopal Church and has aided the
church work very much by hlB musical talent."
In a communication from Rev. J. T. Nichols, from the Union Con
gregational Church, the following Is quoted: "I have been acquainted
with Professor Roy M. Wheeler for the past ten years and commend
him to any who may not know him as a Christian gentleman worthy
of the confidence and esteem of all. 'You have worked hard for the
good start you have got, and hard ' work will keep you going up.'"
But perhaps the communication of most force with the public. Is

have kept informed of his progress. He has built up a good reputa
