DREDGING OF
BAY IS NEAR
Messrs. 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

BURTON AIDED
BY SECRETARY
Taft Owns He Wants Con
gressman to Beat Tom
L Johnson.
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. Kansas
politicians are strongly of tho opin
ion that Governor Hoch will call a
special session of tho legislature if
the railrodas postpone their deter
mination to ignore the 2-cent rate
faro order. The governor has not
yet been notified of tho railroads'
disposition, except by tho newspapers.
He declared Knnsas will havo a 2-cent
rate or it will be cancelled In states
around here. It is understood that
if the -'railroads file resolutions

will bo the signal for a special session
call.

WILL WATCH ELK
HUNTERS CLOSELY
Warden Hurst, of Curry County, Will
Protect Game From Wanton
Hunters.
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.
RAILROAD LOSES ARGUMENT.
Northern Pacific Attorneys Turned
Down By Judgo
Lochrcn.
St. Paul, Sept. 11. In tho hearing
before Judgo Lochren In tho U. S.
District Court today, E. S. Robert,
attorney for tho Northern Pacific,
asked for leavo to filo an amended
petition in tho fight of tho railroads
against two cent faro and reduced
freight rates, enacted by the Minne
sota legislature. Ho had admitted
that tho states had tho right to regu-
lato interstate transportation, but
argued that in matters involving
transportation beyond tho confines
of tho stato tho state had no author
ity. Judgo Lochren heard Robert
through and then Informed hlra ho
had no case.
This blow to tho attorneys for tho
railroads resulted in a conference
nnd chnnge of tactics and a request
was made to filo nn amended peti
tion which was granted.
