President Whitney L. Boise reported
that the water board at Its coming
' meeting would receive a report from
Engineer Clark as to the coat of laying
a second pipe line from Bull Run to the
Mount Tabor reservoirs. It was said
that several members of the board bad
expressed themselves as favoring such
a line and It was decided to have a rep
resentation from the association at the
. board meeting to secure action.
It was also reported that the city
executive board was standing with the
aaaoclatlon in its attempt to secure the
Improvements in the - tire - department
asked by Chief Campbell and that the
beard might favor an Increased appro
Dilation over that -asked by. the chlet
It .was thought that 14 -mill levy
would be granted for the department.
The members of the aasociatloifwere
urged to attend - the annual school
meeting of district No. 1 Thursday, l)e
cember 17. The aaaoclatlon will ask
that Increased facilities be given classes
at the East Twenty-eighth street. Mid

committee of. three was appointed to
take up this matter with the executive
board. The committee is I 8. Wood
ward. V. C. Dunning and A. D. Keenan.
The queatlon of keeping - up streets
after once they were improved, therei
pair work being done by the' city from
the general fund, was discussed. Those
present ' connected with the' municipal
government said that the repair and
cleaning funds were entirely inadequate
to care for suburban streets properly
and thought that such would be the
situation until the wide stretches of va
cant land In the city were aettled and
the suburbs more densely populated. la
discussing the street-cleaning problem

tion In the way of an electric sweeper,

Three Miles a Day. . .
NEWLSTATION, SEMINOLE, "
OPENED WEST OF CASPAR
Central Oregon Contains Great De
posits of Borax, Gypsum and Ni
trate That May Worry Trusts
When Railroad Is Secured.
Marvin Hughitt, president of the Chi
cago Northwestern railway, la build
ing through' Wyoming at the rat -of
three miles-a day, and thl week opened
another new station, called Seminole,
located SS mile west of Caspar.
The Wyoming extension Is named the
Wyoming a Northwestern. . The Port
land office of the Northwestern has re
ceived formal notice of . the opening
of the new atatlon of Seminole. The
survey continues In an almoat direct
lln to Lander, and then bear north
west,, crossing the Rockies through a
pas south of Jackson's lake, and passes
through Market Lake and Mackey, both
on the Short .Line. The route runs
directly west to- Boise, and hits the
Snake river at Nyssa, then run through
central Oregon on a line running be
tween Prlnevllle and Bend. Another
survey made by the Northwestern bear
southwesterly at the western bound
ary of Wyoming takes in the Irrigated
districts of southern Idaho, crosses the
Snake river at Glenn's Ferry, comes
Into Oregon through Jordan valley and
pasaea . through the state, on a route
couth of Malheur lake, tapping the great
Blltaen river region, and coming into
tho Willamette valley via the McKensle
fork of the Willamette river, through
the same pass that the Harrlman man
agement Is .now surveying for a route
fur the Oregon Eastern from Natron.
The railroads are- not overlooking
the fact that in south central Oregon
there exists great deposits of borax,
gypsum and nitrate, that are found in
sufficient quantities to play havoc, tt Is
said, with ' the preeent trusts controll
ing these minerals. 1 . -
The great resource of Lake county
are beginning to attract attention. Al
though thla county waa nonrepresented
at the Lewis snd Clark exposition, be
cause of the long distance an exhibit
would have to be hauled by freight
wagon overland. Us productiveness and
extent have been.. ahown by a few pro
gressive cltlsens who have come to
Portland with small private exhibits of
fruits, vegetables snd mineral. The
counties' of Lake, Harney, Malheur and
Klamath are to be tapped by more
than one railroad company now survey
ing th Oregon. .
RETAILERS LOOKING - ?
FOR HIGH TURKEYS

There Is a feeling among the
q retail poultry'men that the sup- ' 4
4 piles of turkeys will not be near 4
e aa plentiful as expected a few 4
4 weeks ago for the Christmas d
trade. . This means high prices. 4
Twenty-fire cents continues th 4)
price on fancy dressed turkeys 4
in th retail marketa. There ia d
still considerable scarcity In th 4
supplies of ducks and geese and ' q
for this reason the dealers are 4
able to demand a higher figure
