WATER POWERS ATTRACT Possibilities in Oregon to Be Made Subject of Special Report With View to Conservation by ;eologlca1 Surrey. OREGON TAX NEWS BUREAU, - Wash ington, May 9. lief ore the Government can make much irsrress looking! to tha conservation of water powers in the Ftate of Oregon, the Geological Survoy will be obliged to make rather extensive exam ination h of the various streams of the state to determine their power possibili ties, and the approximate location of de atrable power sites. Up to the present, very little la known about the opportuni ties for power development that are still Unappropriated. In fact, in a recent Gov ernment publication it is stated that "the total posslblo water power ot Oregon has not been closely estimated. b?eause of the laoJt of wtr supply data and profile elevations of streams. However, the sup ply is certainly far in excess of the needs of the immediate future." In a general way, it is known that there are attractive power possi till'. ties on most of the mountain strsamf. both in- Eastern and Western Oregon, but to what extent these streams may be used for power de velopment is not known, and will not be known until the Geqlos'.cal Survey, under instructions from Secretary Ballinger. makes hasty surveys, which. In some in stances, will result in the withdrawal of such sites from entry: or filing pending legislation by Congress. Much progress with these surveys ie expected to be made this Summer. In the publication Just referred to there Is brief reference to the known water power resources of Oregon. Some of the desirable sites on the streams named have already passed into the control of private Interests; others still remain undeveloped and unattached. The following extract is taken from the report: Ths most Important streams in the state for development of tar power are those he&dlnr in th high, perpetual snow-clad Cascade Mountains and dropring rapidly to -tfhe sea level. Of these streams, the les chutes River, having a minimum now of MOO cubic feet per second, and flowing throuirh a narrow canyon in solid rock for fH) miles shove Its mouth. Is the most im portant. This stream parallels the Willam ette Valley and flows Into th Columbia River o miles east of Portland. It has 3430 feet fall from Bend to !t mouth. 500 feet of this being In the last S6 miles. With in this distance of Sft miles S90.0O0 theo retical horsepower can be developed. This, at the extremely low value of $ lO per horse power per year, would produce an annual revenue of nearW S,3,0O0,OO Hood Hiver falls "40 feet in the last 11 miles of Us course. It will furnish 2800 brake-horsepower per mile. The McKensie River has an average low water flow of about 2-00 cubic feet per second. Its fall Is 11.5 feet per mile In the vicinity of Eugene and 2d feet per mile at Belknap Bridge. In the 39 miles above Hendricks Ferry Its fall averages 18.7 per mile. The "North Fork of the Santlam River has a minimum flow of 727 cubic feet per second at Mehama. It falls 14.9 feet per mile in the vicinity of Mill City and 66.3 foet per mile near Idanha. 24 miles above. The average in this region Is S7.5 feet per mile. Fifteen thousand 'electric horsepower is now being developed at Caxadero. on the Clackamas River, and about 3 2,000-horse power at Oregon City during- the low water In the Willamette. At Gold Ray. In South ern Oregon, on the Walla Walla River, and at Rock Creek. In Eastern Oregon, large hydro-electric power plants are in opera tion. A large plant is being constructed near Portland, on the Sandy River. TRIES TO KILL DOCTOR Frenchman With Incurable Disease Seeks Kevenge for Failure. - PARIS. May 8. (Special.) Dr. La mouroux. a police physician, has just es caped what might have been a very heavy penalty for attending to a mn after all the hospitals had refused to treat him. Joseph Nortm. the patient in Ques tion, had injured his hand by a piece of glass. He suffered from an incurable malady, and could not be admitted into a hospital. Then It was that he called on Dt. Lamouroux. and made a pathetic appeal for treatment. The doctor succeeded in closing the wound, but the incurable malady mili tated against a perfect cure. Paralysis set in and reached the arm. Morin be came alarmed and coniined his woes to his friends,, who assured him that the police doctor was the author of his mis fortunes. Morin. who is a man of feeble intellect, believed them. Ideas of revenge entered his head, and, arming himself with a re volver, he calll at the doctor's house yesterday. No one answering his ring. Dr. Lamouroux being away on holiday, Morin fired four shots at the door and afterwards lodged two bullets in his head. He was taken to the Hotel Dleu Hos pital In a dying condition. FALL FROM POLE IS FATAL FOUGHT JONES; OUT B. D. Crocker Pried Loose From $4000 a Year Salary. TOO ACTIVE AS POLITICIAN Administration Readily Consents to Appointment of Successor Was Made Collector of Customs at Seattle by Senator Ankeny. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, May 8. After nearly 70 years' service as Collector of Internal Revenue for the District of Washington, B. D. Crocker is to be retired because he made an unsuccessful attempt to pre vent the election of Wesley L,. Jones to the United States Senate. This Is the reason why Crocker is to be pried loose from his $4000 salary. When Crocker undertook the manage ment of the campaign of Senator Ankeny he violated .an order tesued by President Roosevelt prohibiting Federal officials from actively participating in politics. The minute he undertook to re-elect Ankeny he laid himself liable to removal. But he was not removed last Fall be cause no charges were preferred against him. In the absence of specific charges, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue refused to look into Crocker's political record. Had charges been preferred against Crocker during the Senatorial primary campaign, and had his removal taken place at that time, his successor would have been chosen by Senator Ankeny and Senator Piles. The man most interested in seeing Crocker ousted was not partic ularly anxious to see Crocker's friends name his successor, so he laid low and said nothing. In due time Ankeny was defeated and Jones was elected. After he had been duly installed in the Senate, Mr. Jones dug up evidence of - Crocker's activity and that record was laid before the administration. But before taking this step Senator Jones conferred with the other members of the delegation, and found them all willing and anxious to join him in demanding Crocker's scalp. Thus it came about that the entire Washington delegation clamored for Crocker's removal. B. D. Crocker was appointed Collector on June 13. 1P02. on the recommendation of Senator Foster, then the only Re publican Senator from Washington. Crocker had been an active lieutenant in the Foster camp when the Senator from Tacoma was struggling night and day to offset the influence of John L. Wilson, which was arrayed against him in patronage matters. The appointment of Crocker was purely a reward for sup port In that memorable fight. But soon after Crocker was appointed Senator An keny loomed up on the horizon, and Crocker, a -man of considerable business foresight, realized the possibilities that lay behind the-A.nkeny campaign, and he at once became a warm adherent and supporter of the man from Walla Walla. In fact, he was an active manager of Ankeny's first campaign, as of his sec ond. When Foster left the Senate he had quarreled with Ankeny. and Crocker, knowing that a Senator in office was more powerful than an ex-Senator, re nounced his old allegiance to Foster and became an out-and-out Ankeny man. He has been one ever since. BIRD GETS GAT IN 'MADAM GRI3IAL.KIX" RETURN'S AFTER IjOXQ FLIGHT. Wife Dead, Husband Dying. CASTLE ROCK, Wash., May 8. (Spe cial.)

Bald Eagle Swoops Down on Animal, but Comes Back Though Car ried Over 20 Miles. ' ViALDHZ. May 8 (Special.) Another Instance showing- how the cat comes back, has been demonstrated here. A few days ago "Madam Grimalkin." a big Angora, mascot and pet of the Standard Copper Company at Landlock. lay quietly sunning herself on a rocky pinnacle, 2220 feet above the sea level and near the mine works, when a bald eagle swooped down upon Madam Cat and carried her away. The mine foreman was a witness to the abduction and Intently watched the eagle and Its pray as they soared over the mountain tops. The sad fate of the cat was discussed in the bumchouse for three nights, when the sudden jangling of the telephone bell announced from a distance a little more than two miles that the cat had come back. Madam Orimalkin was a sorry looking sight. Her long, hair was disheveled and in spots her mutilated skin was bare. How far Bhe was carried and how she escaped her captor she cannot tell. It may be she killed the . bird. When the eagle swooped down and carried the cat away, the mine foreman asserts both cat and eagle must have gone 20 miles, for both were lost to view only on ac count of the failure of vision to follow them further.
