Buch, in brief, Is believed to be the shape the Portland postoffjcs site mat- , ter Is now While tt, is impossible to "know ;. definitely i what recommenda tions were sent to Washington by Dr. Hill and what Mr. Roberts' rep'ort, sent from San Francisco yesterday, contains. It Is believed by those familiar, with the situation tba,t the contest has narrowed down to' these three locations.. , That Dr. Hill's .selection wUl b Jg Bored, largely because of the fact -that It Is too far away from the Union de pot -more than the 1S00 feet allowed is considered highly probable. Mr. Rob erts is believed to have favored either Block "S" or Block 7J. WWch Is pur chased depends largely on the . com parative cost, it Is believed.. : - , While Mr, " Roberts . was fn'v Portland he went over the records very care fully to ascertain; as nearly as possible the valna of the property offered the United States by various owners. ' The results of his researches and bis con- versatlons with owners .were not of a character that-tended to confirm any choice already made, it is said, For instance, on one block Mr. Roberta is said to have secured a reduction ; of $100,000 from the figures for which it was offered Dr. Hill, the Taft represent ative. Other reductions ranged from $20,000 to $50,000. So aroused was Mr. Roberts by the varying figures -at which property was quoted him that he may possibly rec ommend that the site be condemned by the United States. He Is said to have Announced that if condemnation proceed ings were begun he would see to It that the jurors were not from Portland. i There is some question as to how the government would go about the mat ter of condemning property for . the postoffice, but if such action were taken before a jury it probably would have to be held in . the United States district court.

Geological Survey;: Collects Valuable Data, Respecting, s . This Great Resource. Washington. Dec. 10. A report' br the United States, geological survey relating to . the water, powers 'of "the Cascade range in southern Washington follows: fWater powers in the far west .have attracted general public attention dur ing the last few years, and their util ization and, protection from , monopoly have been subjects of wide discussion and of Important executive action. Per haps no area in that : region presents more favorable opportunities for water powjSr development than ; the slopes of the Cascade range. ; The general eleva tion of the range Is 8000 to 8000 feet. The streams' draining 'It , have steep Lgrades and are fed during the period or low water, by snow banks and gla olers or" by copious supplies of ground water. ;; xne inree important requisites, ot water powerrapid fall,' abundant water, and comparative uniformity of flow are found'ln these streams, and the great resources of forests, mines and soil in the Teglon offer fair promise of a good market for water power., State and Hstlon Cooperate. ! . ' The United -States geological survey has just published as 'Water-Supply Pa per 263 a report on the water powers of the Cascade Range in southern Wash ington, by John C. Stevens, The streams considered lii this report are Klickitat, White Salmon, Little White Salmon, Lewis and Toutle rivers and other streams in the drainage basins of these rivers, and the surveys were mads un der the direction of Mr. Stevens by en gineers employed by the United States geological survey and by the state of Washington, acting In cooperation. These streams are all tributaries of the Columbia. The most important of them, considered as a source is Klickitat river, which wll 154,000 horsepower, at low water.;' The survey of the KlicWtat -covered 7S miles and included a total (all of "$,255 feet. The White Salmon, Lewis, Toutle, -and Little White Salmon take rank as Bources of water power? in" the order named,'-. . ,; - - . ' .. ', ; Water Fowet in Columbia Basin. ; The entire system of stream sur veyed will afford about 395,000 horse power.. The total water power available In the Columbiariver basin has been estimated at 10,300,000 horsepower, so that the reelon. covered bv the report will furnish only. 4 per cent of the enormous aggregate, yet even thit small percentage its five times the amount of water power already developed In th state, v v , Scope of Report. ." The report contains descriptions of the rivers named and of their Important tributaries, with tables showing stream discharge, location of waterpower sites and the, amount of power available at each site, a "summary of the water laws of Washington, tablesi showing annual mean and minimum discharge of repre sentative streams of the northwest Pa cific coast,, and rainfall tables for nu merous places in Washington and JDre- V Valuable Maps and Prof Ha.
