Filrview.. Or.. Aug. ; I. Th .leading
farmers about Rockwood llvlna- along
th Baa L.ln road are talking seriously
of ailing an Indignation meeting In the
near future to decide upon aom method
to be employed conceitedly to protect
themselves and their property from the
automobile -peril.
It la not olaimed by any mean that
all JTo drive these machine along the
family, for aome of them do exercise
reason and reapect the right of other.
But there 1 a claaa who do not em to

but no relief has come of It and the
only conclusion hereabouts 1 that they
care more for the support of the few
peed fiends than for the great rural
fiopulaUon, who aM subjected to boll
ng Indignities, destruction of property
and the daily hasard of life and limb.
Hence the7"Tarmers are determined to
atop this unreasonable recklessness by
some method or other.
Some Specimen Cases.
Lst Thursday as Henry Harvey was
returning from Portland with a heavy
hay wagon an auto driver rushed up
on him. swerved around hi team with
out any warning, and so close that some
hook or rod on the machine cover, caught
In toe bridle of one of hi horse and
tor It off, causing a runaway for three
miles along the Base Line. The horses
actually ran themselves down, with the
heavy wsgon and rack. It was only
good fortune that they kept In the road
and did not demolish the outfit.
The driver of the machine simply
laughed at what he had done.
A short time ago M. Orlmshaw of
Rockwood. who drives a horse not
frightened at automobiles, was con
fronted with a party of three, who
stopped their machine and were going to
thrash him because he would not get
out on the gutter line and give them
three fourths of the road, to which they
said they were entitled.
Brutalities to Children.
Another outfit stopped and drew gun
on a boy walking along the path.
The spectacle has been seen &lnn tha
Base Line road of a child crossing the
road almost frightened into convulsions
by a devilish autolst turning his ma
chine toward It and running at break
neck speed.
At oresent there la a woman rural
letter carrier whose route Is along the
Base Line road, and in her Interest It
can be stated that the department does
not require her to display a placard to
tell these fellowa that she Is entitled to
the center of the road. Should she meet
with trouble Uncle Bam will step for
ward. The oeoDle of Rockwoorf ara urntiaod
and their Indignation la divided between
ine autoists and. the county authorities,
who .do not atop the autoists nor give

Months' Trip to tha Attantlo slope.
"We are not going to have dull times,"
aald Ira F. Powers of the Powera Fur
niture store yesterday. Mr. Powera and
his wife have just returned from a four
months' trip, during which they visited
several prominent cities in the south
and stopped off a day or two at the
Jamestown exposition, visited the na
tional capital. New York, Boston, Roch
. ster, Niagara Fall. Chicago, Grand
Rapid and came home by the Canadian
Pacific, making a stay of a week at
Banff.
"With extensions being made to one
or more big factories fn the various
manufacturing towns I visited," con
tinued Mr. Powers, "and more orders on
the books than they are able to turn out
and plenty of money In the banks for
them to use at the most reasonable
rates, what chance Is there for a shadow
of hard times? Of course there may be
some local conditions that win affect
the money market In cities like San
Francisco or even New York, but that
will have little to do with the great
west and northwest rich In "natural re
source and with new railroads pro
jected in manydlfferent directlona
"When in Washington city I had
oause to visit the patent office, where
at first I engaged the attention of the
Clerk. He was not the riarht man
attend to my business but took time
me that Senator Bourne from
was one or tne most inrtriti
ble workers for his state that he had

man In. authority in the patent office
ana eaen man aia not rorget to empha

"One thing that was a source of great
satisfaction to me was to find upon my
rsvurn Mini uuiinira n&u oeen mucn Bet

tribute largely to the splendid corps of
talesmen, and the addition of extra

Mammoth Engine as Used to Draw a Log Train in a California Forest
(Special Dispatch to Tha Journal.)
Olympla, Wash., Aug. 8. The state
railroad commission haa directed the
attorney-general to bring suit against
the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern for violations of the 16-hour
law passed bv the last legislature.
These violations were reported to the
commission some time ago, and Track
Inspector A. W. Perley waa recently In
structed to Investigate.
Judging from complaints, the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific are ig
noring the 16-hour law entirely. Men
in the operating department claim to
have received no instructions regardlni
the observance of this law, on either o
these roads. The O. R. & N.. however.
appears to be observing the law so far
as possible, often tying trains up to
void keeping the men on duty more
than 16 hour. It is probable the suits
will be brought in the superior court of
Thurston county.
WEALTH FROM OIL.
Creeks' Income From Their Lands.
Government Sees They Are Paid.
The tremendous production of oil In
the Glenn pool Is making; the Creek In
dians aa rich as the Osagea. A citizen
ship to the Osage nation 1 now worth
826,000, but the Creeks are coming fast.
The average dally production in the
Glenn pool 1 125,000 barrel. Of thla,
writes a Tulsa correspondent of the
Kansas City Times, the Indian owners
of the land get 12,600 barrel, one tenth.
The oil is worth about 41 cent a bar
rel. This gives the Indian lessors of
the 10,500 acres comprising- the pool
16,125 a day. This amounts to $1,872,
626 a year". Thl is the royalty which
la paid as long as the oil Is In the
ground. Then there Is the money for
the lease and the bonus which frequent
ly runs 6 ana Jio and sometimes 120
an acre. Thht la all profit for the In-
aians.
The Indian never get the worst of It
In the oil game, because the govern
ment looka after htm and sees that the
Donuses ana tne royalties are paid when
due. Further than thla, the government
ees mat me maian get the full bene
fit of the market price. It' the white
man who 1 cuttine: un his monev to
aeveiop th country and make the In
dian rich who haa to stand ell the
chances of failure.
There are 120 Indian owners of the
leases In. tha Glenn nool e-etttna- the 11 -
872.625 a year. This makes an average
of (16,650 each on royaltlea alone. That
la more monev. than jl rhlnet officer
of the United States or a Justice of the
supreme court receive as salary. The
Indian agent comes around and hands
it to him.

It IS that tne royalty is in me suapo
of an annuity or a monthly payment
plan. The Indian cannot anticipate his
royalties. He cannot sell them or make
a contract to sen mem. ioo govern
ment looka after that. Ail tne Indian
can do is to spend the money after ha
gets it every month. And he can do
that as well as anybody who ever lived.

An Automobile-Sleigh-Boat.
From Discovery.
So far as is known the first Inventor
of an automobile to speed over the snow
ia Lee R. Clark, a letter-carrier of Boze-
man. Montana. However crude the ma
chine may be, and whatever Ha prac
tical value In Arctlo exploration, cer
tain it Is that It will run over snow in
Montana without sinking- Into It. ;
He ha also constructed on to Per
form the function of both motor boa.t
and land motor vehicle. - The latter he
calls, an-, automoblle-alelgh-boat. He
writes from Boseman expressing hia
confidence that th horseless sleigh can
be made to develop a speed of from Ave
to 10 miles an heur, according to th
sis ef the machine, the greater speed
being attained by the smaller sleighs.
It took him 10 year to work out his
Idea, to what he believe 1 a practical
conclusion and ha hopes to start a reg
ular service of the sleigh and sleigh-1
boat one of these day. HI auto
sleigh is built on tha principle of an or
dinary automobile with the addition of
a nf th wheel to drive It by gripping the
snow or ice, Thla wheel la moved by
an electrlo motor and can be raised or
lowered according to th condition ot
the road and mow. Runner are ad
justed to the four running wheel for
