Dryenforth and Wil son, of Portland, Will Investigate. SMITH COMES NEXT WEEK Portland Visitors Interested in Black Sand Smelting Hne Experi mental Plunt. J. W. Dryenforth and Charles E. Wilson, tho former of Portland and the latter of Hood River, are on the bay for tho purpose of looking Into the proposed dredging of the bay. Messrs. Dryenforth and Wilson are the owners of a dredger which Is now at Portland, and they were Inter viewed some time ago by Mr. L. J. Simpson, of North Bend, in Portland regarding the dredging and the pur chase of a dredger. Since tho plan of dredging the bay has been ilus trated as entirely feasible, there Is great Interest being taken in the mat ter and there are plans on foot which will, beyond any doubt, bring tho matter to a focus very shortly. The local committee Is very busy with Its work and outside Information Is be inc gathered in preparation for a final meeting some time next week, when C. A. Smith , of Minneapolis, Will bo rresent and submit what In formation ho has gained by research In nthAr nnrtu Mr. Smith helntr one of the people most! vitally Interested In the work of dredging, has taken It upon himself to investigate the mat ter from every point of view, and his findings should be of great value to the local commercial bodies at the meeting next week. Besides this, he will be one of tho largest contrib utors to the dredging fund. Messrs, Dryenforth and Wilson are likewise interested in another matter which, if It proves of the value they confidently expect, will bring about an Innovation in the iron industry on tho Pacific coast, at least the northwestern part. Mr. Wilson was associated with Dr. T. D. Day, who had charge of the experimental work with tho Pacific coast black sand at the Lewis & Clark exposi tion, and since then he has been in vestigating the matter from time to time, and believes that he has found a process of smelting sand and ex tracting Iron so that tho process, when perfected, will enable Its own ers to compete with the eastern Iron producers. Messrs. Wilson and Dryenforth have an experimental plant at Hood River, where electric ity is used and their work so far has been very satisfactory. Possibly, while they are waiting for the dredging meeting, they will go down into Curry county and the southern part of Coos and inspect the black sand to be found In that local ity. The black sands have been misun derstood in the past, and most of the energy and research has been ex pended on the assumption that gold is the principal commodity of value to be obtained from the deposits. Very few men have successfully worked tho sand for gold, and many have lost fortunes in the work. Should the process which Messrs. Drvenforth and Wilson are using prove of commercial value, there is a fortune in it for the Inventors and also for others who will become In terested in the pursuit. But It Is yet too early to make any extraordinary claims for the process, and theso gentlemen say they are simply work- lnc along In a quiet way, and tell nobody they are certain of success. At tho same time, there Is an air about them which impresses those with whom they talk with tho be- lief that they have met with greater success than they care to herald. Thl3 matter, like all others which aro new, is likely to bo scoffed, and for this reason, theso men prefer to make the big claims after they find thomselves fully fortified with Indis putable evidence New Shoo Repair Shop.

PARTY NEEDS CLEVELAND City Controlled by Johnson Machine Burton Best Man For The Mayoralty. Seattle, Sept. 11. The Post-In-telllgencer tomorrow will say, Secre tary Taft, when shown tho published statement that Representative Bur ton, In announcing himself as a can didate for the office of mayor of Cleveland, in opposition to Mayor Tom L. Johnson, had said he was greatly aided In coming to that de cision by letters from Roosevelt, Taft and Garfield. He said Johnson haB a well oiled machine which has enabled him to keep in office for three terms and this fact has given him a pres tige which makes his defeat of inter est not only In Cleveland but In the whole state. Taft says Johnson has so Intrenched himself and his ma chine In Cleveland that only a man having first class qualifications can hope to defeat him. Taft goes on to say that Burton is the man best qualified for this office and that let ters from leading citizens and busi ness men urge that something bo dono to bring that city back into the Republican column and into har mony with the party In Ohio and the nation at large. With others I have urged Burton to become a candidate (against Johnson. Taft adds that there is no doubt of the real Import ance of tho election to Cleveland and to Ohio. Taft said the endorsement of Bur ton's candidacy had nothing to do with the election of a successor to Senator Foraker. The Secretary de clined to express his opinion of John son as a public man.

HOCH'S COMMANDS Kansas Transportation Companies Will Face Special Session of Legislature, Otherwise. Topeka, Kas Sept. 11.

Mr. W. R. Hurst, wife, daughter and son-in-law, ure In Marshfleld for a day or two. They will stop in Co quille on their way back to their home near Port Orford. Mr, Hurst repprts having a case to be put be fore thJ courts of a Baudon man who Was recently in Curry county chas ing deer with dogs and killing o doe. Mr. Hurst Is game warden and pro poses to protect tho best hunting grounds in tho state. He says peo ple from California and some por tions of Oregon aro in' the habit of coming into their country and killing deer regardless of law. He Is going to put a stop to that. He has re ceived word of a large party of men coming there from California to kill elk as soon as the season opens, and he proposes to camp on their trail and see there aro no violations of the law, which allows a man to kill one buck only. Since tho law went Into effect protecting elk there has been a large Increase and they. are almost as tame as cattle, so that a gang or ruthless hunters can fairly slaugh ter them. One of tho best moves ever made by the Lodge of Elks was the abol ishing of tho elk tooth as an em blem. They have probably saved tho utter extermination of that magnifi cent game. Mr. Hurst is a strong advocate of the state offering a bounty of $20 or $25 for panther scalps. Deer aro more at the mercy of tho panther than ever a mouse was at tho hands (or rather claws) of tho cat. Proba bly a panther will do no more than suck tho blood, depending on how hungry he is, and they aro feeling the oxtremo pangs of hunger when they will eat a piece of deer that has been killed 24 hours. Mr. Hurst was a great admirer of the fruit exhibit at tho Chamber of Commerce, as ho is very much inter ested in that business. In our Sun- day issue wo will have an article on Curry county fruit.
