Ice mines May Be an Oregon In dustry. FREAK ICE CAVERNS " Abound in the Country Near the Deschutes River in East . " era Oregon The report from Arixona that ice InlQkS ar about to be onMfil in ih.it . Slate reminds the people of certain por - lions of Oregon that the industry may be developed In this state. It Is a novel ' Statement, and at first blush sounds like ' A ltlH - 1 .. - I .... I Jt V , y - v m 11 pivij uwcu uu a cum buu , Ject, But nevertheless, Jt is true and T practical. Eastern Oregon contains many ire cav rns, and while this is not generally , Known, yet It has been known by. the clt liens In certain sections for more than to years. Such a phenomena Is not gen rally known to exist anywhere, but there re several points In Europe at whjph they exist, and they also exist in Art aona, uaiuorma, ana Oregon. Jt is pe . ctillar that they should exist In the des H country, where it la so dry and hot, s but they do exist at many such points. Tne most remarkable lee caverns yet ) reported In Oregon were discovered near i't.h Peschutes river, about 40 miles from 1 Prlnevllle in Crook County many years "i ago. The caves are out In the "desert -several miiet irom-tne root of an ex unci voicanio crater wnien forms one ; bank of the river for several miles. There l are several caverns throughout this see- v'iuii uui iuy n kw cumain ice, ana one - - . . . t j .uuirr, ii w uwcuverea in a pecu liar manner, and has "since served good purposes In various ways. A stockman ' passing that way a number of years ., i ago, and finding a small slanting aper ture In the ground dismounted from his horse to examine it. He found that the ' - aperture Increased In size as it gained depth In the ground, and squeeslng his body into the place, he clawled down the decline, . lighting his way with matches. 'When he had reached a distance of about : leet no iounu a cave, tne.,, Door of - Which was level, and found that it was . farmed of solid, pure ice. It was a wel come find on that day, for It was a warm summer day and no water was near, and the stockman was thirsty. He chipped oft pieces of the ice with his pocket knife and ate them to quench his thirst. It was reported, and the truth of the Story variously commented upon by the . ranchers end stockmen, but it was not visited again for a number of years. At till time it served the stockmen a good turn. A cowboy was thrown from his horse near the place and his leg was broken and Inflammation soon set In. Hls'companlon rode to the Ice cavern, en tered Jt and secured sufficient ice to treat n n.inrf. VlmK I 1 arrive. Then the Ice cavern became will known KiuvuBouui me iruuitiry. 11 wu a sirange phenomena to the stockmen that Ice ' hould exist there only 75 feet under ' ground, when In fact at midday the sun almost penetrated the cavern to the Ice, ; and' the place, too. being one of the ' wannest portions of the desert In sum xrier. But they -did not fall to take ad vantage of it on this account. Ice was n arranger In this section of country In ear ly days, and the ranchers drew on. this resource for miles around. In summer when they killed fresh meat they went there for lee and on several occasions it la claimed that on the Fourth of July, "while celebrating this day of Independ ence they frequently went to the cave j to get Ice to make lee cream and lem onade, even choosing the nearest point ltd this cave where there was shade and fVater to celebrate in order to avail them , iaelves of this ice. AnnthM rpmnrVjihl foatnra oKrtut thl eave is that the ice seems to be Inex haustible. After cutting out large quan tifies and going away for a time they have found that the holes from which tne Ire bad been taken had refilled with water and was frozen again as hard as eVar. It is also claimed that the Ice is of an unknown depth,, and that it ex tends under the walls of the cave beyond any point where any one has ever be?n . abte to explore. There Jh a theory that there is a great lake of ice. but now that ice mining is suggested it might be aiied a great ice mine. "While the phenomena Is a mystery to those who have not studied it yet scien tists explain It very reasonably. They nay that there is an air passage through the; cavern somewhere, and that the water Is kppt congealed by this; tnat originally the let was frozen in wintor anil the for mation of the rove is such that the cold fi.tr is kept confined next to the Ice by th4 warmer air, which is constantly passing through the Icy regions, but which prevents Hit uold air from escap ing . The lay of the country where these Ice caverns are found Indicates that the , caves In which the Ice Is stored was one the channel of the Deschutes river. The lava beds and lava cone near at hand form the bank of the present chan jiel Of that stream, and the evidence la formation the river came down a for mer 'chfcnnel which ' was filled at most -points by. the lava, while at others, the Channel was merely covered over. One may stand upon the desert and' see the rises and falls at a long distance which ra of ..uniform width, and which Indi cate tbe course of the river in former times. Some of the caves In the country 4r Immediately under this line of up heavals and depressions. , This point has been suggested as an Interesting - one . for Investigation by scientist's, if they should not develop anything wonderful they would certainly And It Interesting as there are numerous otbes caves, great beds of fresh-looking lava, buttea and peaks and cones cam fessd of volcanic ashes, and then the wooded section abound with tame, while the river is filled with fish. There are also ice caverns reported !n the northern portion of Oregon and also near the California line in the Klamath country, but the one in Crook County la the most famous. The fact that a rail road survey has been made through Crook County which runs near the Ice caverns described, may bring about the -levelopment of the "Oregon Ice Mines '" earlier' than some other Industries al ready on foot, r- i HAS VIC. SCHILLING COMMITTED BIGAMY (Continued from First Page.) something about seeing a notice in a Tacoma paper where Bchillfhg had taken out a marriage license, and when he Joked him about It Schilling told hlra to never mind and not 40 mention it to any one." When asked if this gentleman was still In town. Mr. Sheldon replied that he had left the city a number of years ago. and that he did not know where he was at the present time. If this report Is verified, as It will or. will not be by looking np the court rec ords in Tacoma, some definite conclusion may be arrived st as to the cause of the peculiar disappearance aside from the supposition that it was on account of some financial troubles. Dorsy Smith, private secretary to President Mohler, said last evening: "Schilling was perfectly straight In all his accounts with the road, no shortages being" Youm) wherr-hts. accounts were -examined by experts, and If he has left any personal obligations behind, it .Is my nnlnlnn that he will return and settle them some day, for Schilling was not the man. to shirk a debt.' TERSE TALKS ON VARIED TOPICS. ' . DAN McALLEN ON STREETS. "Better streets? No. sir, they are good enough now." said Da'n MoAllen, "what do I need of better streets; the sidewalk between my store and bouse Is good enough. Of course some people may not be satisfied with their conditions, but that is nothing to me. "It Is better for the city and business not to have them Improved. Why, you look here. I told you long ago that we drn't waht any outsiders coming hero. Now, if they do come all we have to do Is to drive them over our streets ana they are ready for the doctor. That makes business for the hospitals and physicians. If they go out alone, they will get killed and that makes business for the undertakers. See the point? It is a good one and you fellows who are whooping for better roads ain't foxy at all." "Another thing: Tou' see the fire de partment can't get around so fast and we get more Insurance. What is the use of Insuring your house If you don't get anything out of it and when you are going to get aythlng"VDu- might as well get a clean sweep anil have it over. "Were you here when We had little boats In the street to get around 1n? That was dftrlng the flood. Well, you can talk all you want to about the streets, but we can get around better now than at that time, so what are you kicking about?" FOURTH STREET BAD. rf -ill SSl IS 'Fourth , Strest i still on iths bum," said a well-known citizen yesterday. '"This street, between Madison and Salmon, Is a danger to bicyclists and the travelling public In general. The old blocks, on this street wer taken up-about two, months ago and no new- ones piacea instead. This makes a sheer drop of from 12 to 15 Inches from thbe4 t tbe railroad track to the street. ThS contractors have of fered various excuses for the delay in the work, the latest one being that no wooden blocks Are obtainable In Portland at present. Now - Isn't that all rot? It Seems to me that the contractors should be under some penalty for any delay In their work. I'll bet no other city would stand such nonsense, why do not tne city fathers attend to It? I think every citizen is entitled to an answer." Those who have occasion to drive up Fourth street would be pleased to see the paving put down. In . front' of the court house. It' has been several weeks since any evidence -of work has been seen, and all this time a block of pay ing' has been up and a fence across the street. NATURAL LOCATION. One noticeable and gratifying paint about Portland that stands out promi nently In contrast to many of her sister cities of the Northwest, Is the almost level position upon which it Is built, ' said Mark Getchell. a leading banker and business man from the State ot Maine, who left Portland yesterday for home. "Some of these cities look as though they had been turned up side wayB; their location on side hillB is er- tremely unpleasant and detracts from the beauty, and I assure you It Is a rellei to see this city spread out so beautifully in this spot ihat nature seemed to have cut off. the mountains for your city, "The only criticism I-can make con cerning your city la the. condition of the streets. Of course this is a young city but good streets are the essential to every prosperous place. There Is nothing that appeals to a traveler as muc good roads over which they ride. I sim ply offer this as a suggestion." WANT SERVICE ON MORTGAGE A complaint was filed today for service for the foreclosure of a mortgage on lots 7 and I. of the University Addition. of the City of Salem.- The complainants ere the Pacific States Savings, Loan Building Association, of Bani Francisco, and the defendants are the Goodale Lumber Co.

The plasterers have Just finished tnelr part of the work, and the carpenters are now busily engaged in altering the floor of the building formerly used as the at tic. Anothec-Jloor has practically been added bScuttlng the space of the attic and windows have been lowered so that more light will be given on the lower part of the floor. It Is expected that the! entire cost of the alterations to the i building and grounds will amount to about 126,00. In Justice Setoa's Court.
