U. Peterson of the local Overland Pacific branch, at the start or his trip to Seattle in the Country Club roadster. - San Francisco, Jan. 20. (I. N. S.)- Tha Hfll -liner Great Northern has hung . up the scalp of the world's mileage record and when she pulls away, from the dock Tuesday and heads' for Honolulu, the big turbiner "will Insure Its safety for some time to come by a register of 145,689 miles. This record has all been made In less than two years pf almost steady run , nlng. The liner's nearest competitor is -her sister shlD.'the Northern Pacific. which has plied up a record of onlsf 1009-miles short or that or the Ha waiian steamer. While many of the steamers plying up and down the" Pa cific Coast have more miles to their credit; than either of the two Hill boats, no steamer has ever piled up the Individual mileage in such a short 'lime. On March '11 the two steamers will have been jn service Just two years. The Great Northern will sail for Honolulu Tuesday morning with 600 passengers for the island ports in addition to a big cargo of general freight and merchandise. Captain Ah man, 'will be In command. The first Overland country club roadster to come to Portland was sold to & man who wanted to ship It to China by boat from Seattle. Seattle had none of the cars so the only thing to close the sale was to drive the car H Seattle over January roads. Raleigh 'Peterson took the helm an left Portland Monday afternoon. The car must have gotten through In fine shape, for Mr. Peterson called up early Tuesday from Seattle and declared that he had already delivered the car to the docks and that It would soon be on Its way to China. The many improvements which Washington counties have made on tbe Pacific highway between Port land and Seattle in the last year, haloed to better the winter drive some, but Mr. Peterson still encoun tered long stretches of mud. Some of the worst was along the Columbia river, and again beyond the Olequa ferry. The Journey, It Is claimed, wins for him the distinction of being the first man to make this 4)rlve successfully in" midwinter. The Journey Is fur ther notable In that the car was the first to cross the Columbia River In terstate bridge and then tocontinue to Seattle.

The second ocean going vessel to be built at the Wilson Brothers shipyards was launched this morning with due cere mony and without mishap. Over X500 veoole witnessed the event. The craft was built for the Charles R. McCormick company and sold by tLem to Broughton & Wiggins, and Is a sister vessel to the steam schooner Wahkeena, launched recently at the same yards. Little Miss Gertrude Cochran. 9 years of age, daughter of the superin tendent of construction, christened the vessel Ernest H. Meyer; In "honor of the manager of the McCormick Lum ber company. Promptly , at 9:10 a. m. the big hull started to slide down the ways when a quart bottle of champagne was dashed against tho bow.

President Delaney of ' the Chamber of Commerce, arranged a complimen tary luncheon at the Welnhard hotel for the owners, builders and their guests.

Swett of the management of the Portland Emporium yesterday was ap pointed by Mayor Albee as a delegate to the American Good Roads congress, which will be held in Boston, early In I? ebruary. Mr. Swett has been actively Inter ested In the good roads movement lh Oregon, and while he will attend to other business, he will take In every session of the congress and bring back to Portland a glossary of the findings which the good roads apos ties from everywhere will bring to the attention of the congress. The roads congress of this year will be one of unusual interest and widely attended by delegates from other lands as well as America. The best en gineers of highway construction, who are associated with such projects as the Lincoln highway, where every kind of country is traversed, will be there to tell of their experiences and of the difficulties overcome. On his return Mr. Swett will detail his report to the mayor or to any of the civic bodies Interested In the good roads movement. The" Weather.

Except In western Oregon, temperatures are below normal In this (orecatt diatrlct. The condition are favorable for rain or suw in this district Sunday, with slight Many problems for the development of Oregon's mineral resources are to be undertaken during the coming year oy tne state bureau of mines and geol ogy. These investigations are to be continued as rapidly and as far as the appropriation allotted by the legisla ture will permit. H. N. Lawrte. chair man of the bureau commission, baa set out the ambitions of the bureau in the report for the blennium lately filed with the state officials. &e lacing Xefractory Ores. Of the work yet to be done Is the application of new metallurgical pro cesses upon the large number of re fractory ores of low grade which, un der old-time processes, cannot be re duced commercially. A large part of tnese low-grade ores are possible o reduction at a profit under the new processes, the report points out, bu they must be adapted to local condi tlons at the various mines. Arrangements recently were made with the federal bureau of mines for cooperation along this line. Mr. Lawrie points out that In each cf the 73 mining districts of the state there are numerous Idle mining prop erties upon which' thousands of dol lars already have been spent In de velopment. The bureau hopes to send parties Into the field to help owners ascertain the reasons for the non-pi-ofitableness of operation and put the properties. If possible, back Into active service. It Is proposed for these In vestigating parties that they take sam ples of exposed ores, conduct assays on the ground and make engineers' re ports upon them. Other prospective activities of the bureau Include the in vestigation of nitrate and saline de posits, particularly in central Oregon. Districts Hot Xavestig-ated. Several mining districts have not yet been Investigated by the bureau at all because of lack of time and money. Among these, which will be surveyed If the proper funds are made available, are the Pine creek district of southern Lake county; the Warner mountain region In eastern Lake coun ty; Steens mountain region and Pueblo mountain region In Harney county; southern Coos county, and certain parts of Douglas and Klamath coun ties. t Artesian Water Supplies. Another Important activity which the commission hopes to Initiate Is the Investigation of possibility for artes lan water aupplies in central Oregon. It has already been determined that there Is a relation between the lava flows and the lnterbedded tuffe. This Is due to the fact that the gentle fold ing and erosions of strata In central Oregon, sln.ee the time of the exten sive lava iiows. there has been ex posed In the higher hills the edges of the Java layers and the lnterbedded tuffs. The exposed layers In ' the hills often furnish the sources of the water which Is held in the coarse vol canic tuffs which can be tapped and utilized by drilling holes through the more Impervious lava beds in the plains below. Since artesian water Is already had in some places of central Oregon, the commission is confident that further Investigation will develop much greater possibilities in a region that needs water so much. The publication of a handbook ol mining law for the guidance of the prospector is snother prospective ac tlvlty of the bureau. Commlslon Asks $28,000. In conclusion, the report says: "The commission in asking for $23.- 000 annually for the Investigation and encouragement of the mineral Indus tries is but repeating Its request of two years ago. and that made by the committee of mining men who drafted the bill creating the bureau of mines and geology In 1912. This commission makes Its recommendations for the work of the coming two years, .with the belief that state business should be conducted on the same basis as Is private or corporate business. After careful consideration of each Item In the proposed budget. It Is their con vlctlon that It will be but good bust ness for Oregon to prosecute to early completion each, project set forth In the work laid out for 1917-1918."
