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.

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. S. Cornelius, either.
