A pamphlet describing: Irrigated lands open tor settlement on the Turaalo project and giving prices of privately owned lands on the project and in the vicinity, is being- published by the Oregon state immigration commission and the Oregon Develop ment league. The report on the Tumalo project is favorable as to the fertility of the lands for certain purposes, saying: "The lands are slightly rolling In character, for the most part being covered with a natural growth of juniper and sage brusbv about 900 acres having a fair growth of merchantable yellow pine timber. The cost of clearing the land will vary from IS to $26 an acre. The Juniper trees, when cleared, make excellent posts and wood. The soli varies from 19 Inches to six feet in depth and consists of a pumice sand and light volcanic ash and some loam. Lands are particu larly adapted to the raising of forage , crops such as alfalfa, clover and vari- "ous root crops. Dairying and Hog Seising. "There M considerable settlement at the present time on the project, dairying and hog raising being the principal Industries .followed. The elevation here varies from 2900 to 3500 feet, but the climate is mild, neither the extremes of winter nor summer being experienced. "More' or less loose rock is en countered throughout the project, but for the most part is very easily cleared. "The town of Laldlaw on the Des chutes river is the only town at present on the project, and Is four miles from Deschutes, the nearest railroad point, on the Oregon Trunk and the Oregon-Washington Railroad &.

PAPER MONEY TO BE MORE EXTENSIVELY USED ON THE COAST Bankers ; Say Change Will Come as Result of Reserve Bank, EAST PREFERS CURRENCY TURNED OVER TOO OFTEN When Kenneth McDonald, 14 months old, awoke yesterday afternoon, the first thing he did was to turn over on the bed where his mother had placed him. One good turn apparently de served another, for the child was soon at the edge of the bed, from which he fell to the floor. The mother heard him cry and ran into the room. A phy sician was later called and found the right leg broken. The boy was taken to the Good Samaritan hospital. The McDonald family lives at 288 East Tenth street. San Francisco Banks Are Vow Paying Xiargaly Greenbacks and Silver Seasons Explained. Paper money, which has never been used to any great extent on the Pacific coast. Is to become more and more the medium of exchange here, according to the opinions of leading bankers. This change in the medium of ex change, say the bankers, will result from the establishment of a federal re serve bank on the coast, as then the banks will be able to keep supplies of fresh currency on hand. Already the banks of San Francisco, according to an announcement made by James K. Lynch, vice-president -of the First National bank of San Francisco, and president of the San Francisco Clearing House association, are paying out paper money and silver almost ex clusively. "Paper is going to be used a great deal hereafter on the coast and the banks are merely putting it into circu lation now eo as tv accustom their tellers handling it and overcome Cali fornia's proverbial suspicion of paper money," stated Mr. Lynch. "The war la hastening the advent of paper' money, that la mXLT ,' A. L- Mills, president of the First National 'hank: and president of the Portland ' Clearing ' House association. Said that when the federal reserve bank is established at San ; Francisco be expected paper money to come Into more general use than gold. So far, however, : he said ' that tho Portland bankers axe making no particular ef fort to accustom the public to the use of paper money. There is no reason why , one section of the country should have a different general medium of (exchange than an other," said Mr. Mills. -Paper money is used almost entirely In the east, but we have always been a 'gold coast.' This has been due largely to the fact that we are so far from Washington, where the currency Is issued. "In the east the banks are able to ! keep supplies of fresh, crisp cur rency on band at all times. As soon as a bill becomes slightly soiled it Is sent to Washington for exchange for a new bill. But out here we are so far from Washington that when currency gets into circulation it is usually kept there until It becomes soiled and filthy and no one likes to hande it. With a reserve bank at San Francisco we 'will be able to keep fresh currency on hand, 'Currency is- more convenient to handle than gold. It Is easier to carry. It will also be better for business, as in. times of stress when we have to use paper money anyway, there will not be the resentment against it that is now felt when we are required to use It." 1 x Company Files Articles.

About 100 acres of timber land underbrush have been burned on the banks of the Willamette river about three miles north of Canby by a forest fire that has been burning there for the last week. The fire seems to have started at J. F. Beats' place and from there it crossed over on to Obryan and Stefani's woods. Late Sun day night 200 coxds of wood owned by E. Stef anl was burned and later the fire started towards his house. It was feared that the people present would be unable to stop the flames, but by back firing and working the rest of the night it was driven off towards the river. Ora Slyter also has much cord wood near there and it was feared that the fire would go in that direction. The wind is now favorable, however, and it is thought that all danger has passed. Fighters expect to have the fire under control soon. George Koehler, the fire warden for Green Point Fire Out. Hood River, Or Aug. 18. The forest fires that have been raging in the mountains near Green Point and that caused the buring of the large sawmill plant of the Stanley-Smith Lumber company valued at $125,000, are now under control. The wind having turned to the east and north caused its own back fire and with the help of a large crew of men the other sawmill plants in this section are now safe. The at mosphere is practically clear of smoke in the Hood River valley today. Executive's Stand on Street Speaking and Tolice Con duct at Issue. Big Jump Is Taken In Postal Deposits MAY OFFER COMPROMISE 7. S. Alien Chosen by Big Majority at Xjast City Election. The largest Increase in postal sav ings deposits ever made in connection with the operations of the local postal savings bank has occurred within the past 15 days, according to the state ment of Postmaster Myers. The net gain since August 1 has been 836,000. or more than $2000 a day over the de posits for the same period a year ago. This increase is believed to be due to the fact that persons are withdrawing their money from the privately owned savings banks. The withdrawals on the other hand In the past 15 days have been very small; much under the nor mal withdrawal figure, Mr. Myers asserts. Marshfleld. Or., Aug. 18 Petitions are being circulated for the recall of Mayor F. E. Allen of Marshfleld. So far the matter has been kept somewhat quiet. It appears that there are two objections put forward by those op posing the mayor, his position regard- ' lng speaking on the streets, and the men wno are serving on the police force. When members of the I. W. W. were deported from this city some time ago, the trouble started on account of public speaking on the streets, which was ordered stopped by Dr. Straw, who was then mayor. Lately a Prohibitionist has been holding public meetings on the streets and many have objected. Mayor Allen said he could find no law to prevent the speaking. Opposing factions ob ject to this stand. Recently when a woman was tried for keeping a dis orderly house as a part of a vice cru sade, the woman gave testimony detri mental to the members of the police force, claiming that they were fre quenters of' her place. It is understood that those- circulating - ths - petitions c for a recall will present the matter to . Mayor Allen and ofwsr ' to drop the -whole proceedings if he will discharge t the entire police force, bat that Other wise they win go ahead with the re call. It is believed that Mayor Allen will refuse to discharge the force. At the last city election Allen WM--elected mayor by a big majority over ,; two other candidates. This spring toe ?: was defeated for the Republican nomi nation for county clerk. - . Bears Out Furniture Until Shoes Burn A. 2V.
