NEW LAUNCH IS A FAST ONE 'WEST BUTTE- MAKES PER HAPS SIXTEEN MILES ON HER MAIDEN TRIP AND WILL DO BETTER. The West Butte, the 41-foot launch that was put out from the Driscoll shops Thursday, was again tried out on the river yesterday and showed tip in the finest form. It looks as if the West Butte is even going to exceed the expectations of her builders. Messrs. R. Carruthers, Edward Judd and T. L. Driscoll are the, gentlemen who own the new and speedy little craft, and it was the opinion of ev eryone along the waterfront yester day who saw the launch cutting through the waters, that they may well be proud of her. Yesterday morning with four or five on board the West Butte swept out from her slip and started down the river at a rate that surprised the usual crowd along the docks. She was then going at perhaps 15 or 16 miles, but it looked as if she was go ing at even a faster clip. It is the confident expectation of her owners that she will make over 20 knots. The West Butte is forty-one feet in length, with six feet beam, and car ries a 30 horsepower, Doman engine, with six cylinders. The engine is of the lates; type. The launch has trim lines and makes a pretty sight in the water. On her first trial, as soon as she was launched Thursday evening, she made about sixteen miles an hour. Pope Trullinger was at the engine on her first trip and Theo. Trullinger at the helm. Capt. Porter of the nierican S. S. Victoria reports the true position of Pinnacle Island, Bering Sea, is Lat. 60, 12 min. N. Long. 723, 37 min. W. This differs from existing charts. John McXulty, Xautical Expert BALOON FALLS FAR Sherman Military Aeronants. Have Narrow Escape From Death. BERLIN, July 3. A new military steerable baloon which recently made flight came to grief during trials last evening. While sailing over Charlot tenburg, at an altitude of 5,000 feet, the airship suddenly became unman ageable in consequence of a violent gust of wind. She pointed her bows downward and seemed to make a sudden dart, rapidly descending to the Grunewald forest where the plat form became entagled in the topmost branches of the trees. The five occupants of the car, who included officers of the army, were not injured by the accident but were obliged to climb out and descend to the ground by means of the guide rope of the baloon. It was stated that the machinery was not greatly damaged by the military Aeranauts who proceeded from Berlin to over haul the baloon and are now engaged in taking it apart. GEORGE OEFFLER OF MORRI SON STATION IS COMMITTED TO THE ASYLUM AT SALEM -NOT VIOLENT. George Oefflcr, a farmer residing near Morrison station, was taken into custody yesterday by Sheriff Pome roy on a charge of being insane and was brought to this city for safe keeping. Oeftler was brought before Count Trenchard immediately upon his arrival here and examined. There seemed no doubt that his mind is badly affected and he was ordered committed to the state asylum at lem. Dr. Fulton was the physician who made the examination of Oeftler. Once before Oeftler showed signs of a mental breakdown and at that time he was brought to Astoria fronhis farm and placed in the county jail parcntly entirely well. That was sev- for a few days, when he became, ap- eral years ago. This time his mental trouble seems to b of a more deep- seated nature and his commitment to the asylum was deemd the only safe course to pursue. While he showed no indications of violent insanity, it was feared that some outbreak might occur if he was left uncared for. He did not want to leave his home and hardly recognized Sheriff and others, whom he had known for many years. While in Judue " Trcnchard's office yesterday Oeftler tightly grased a small cross in each hand, as if his dementia has taken a rcligous turn. Oeftler has been in the county over 20 years, and has been a well-to-do and well-known farmer. WAKES SMALL FORTUNE OUT OF 34 ACRES A finely printed report of the 1907 congress of the Oregon State Dairy association, held in Portland last December, has been received at the office of the Chamber of Commerce recently, and in it is, contained one local report of much interest. It was made by Mr. Whyte of tfie Chamber of Commerce for Olof Erickson, and is as follows: John H. Whyte, Astoria: "I want to speak for Olof Erickson, and make a statement at his request. I believe it is quite extraordinary. Off of thirty-four acres of land for the elev en months ending December first this year, he has made $1,802.00 net, with eighteen cows. In that $1802.00 net, an accounting has been kept of all the feed purchased, except about $176.00 worth, and in that $1802.00 profit is also included the sale of a few hogs and I believe two calves all off of thirty-four acres. Member to Mr. Whyte: "I would like to know how much of that was made' from butter." ' Mr. Whyte: "There was nfade off butter 4133 ppunds" Member:" Did he sell that to creameries or to whom, and how did he sell it?" Mr. Whyte: "Mr. Erickson sold th ebutter mostly to restaurants and grocery stores, and I have the prices he received. The average were: January' 36 cents. February 36 cents. March 383 cents. April 31 cents. Mby ,....232 cents... June 283 cents. July 282 cents. August 31 cents. September 361 cents. October 35 cents. November 35 cents Member: "Did Mr. Erickson have any outside pasture?" Mr.-Whyte: "He had 34 acres of land and his cattle were all kept there. On this 34 acres he had exactly 26 head of stock there were the cows, head of heifers, two horses and a bull, making about one and one quarter acre for each animal." WHAT WASHINGTON PRO. POSES TO DO THIS YEAR WITH HER RAILWAY TAX ABLE VALUES -GOOD CUE FOR OREGON. If there are those in Astoria and Clatsop county who feel that the Morning Astonan is not justihed in demanding that the property of the A. & C. railway be increased in yalaution' for the purposes of taxa tion, it may help them some to read the following, "taken from the latest issue of the Columbia River Sun, at Cathlamct, the text of which is being heralded all over the Northwest; "The taxable . valuation of the railroad property in this state will be practically trebled this year as a re sult of the valuation investigations conducted by the railroad commis sion. The railroad commission has given the tax commission figures showing that the market value of the three great transcontinental railroads crossing tins state , is ?IS6,IXX.I,000. Other railroads will show a value of about $25,000,000, making the total in excess of $210,000,000. As the prop erty is assessed at 60 per cent of its true value it is expected the tax com mission will value the railroad prop erty of the state at about. $126,000,000. The assessed valuation fixed on the same property last year was $43,- 000,000. In addition the railroad com mission has placed a value on com- mcrical property owned by railroads, of $25,000,000. Much of this has heretofore been assessed as railroad rightof-way." It is high time Oregon was waking up to the exigencies of the public necessities in this line, and following the neighborly hunches given her by her sister states on the north and south, and there is no better place to begin than right here in old Clat sop, and no better man to do it than T.
