GOVERNOR WILSON HANGED II EFFIGY i REM IE OF INDIAN U IB TOWN OF STANFIELD HAS BEEN PLATTED Siaiifleld Is now on the map liter ally, as well as figuratively, the plat of the new town In the west end hav ing been filed with the county re corder and is now a matter of record. The promoters of the town, being In control of all the property upon which It Is to be located, went to great pains to lay off what they consider an Ideal town. Nothing has been overlooked from the parking of the streets to the establishment of fire limit;! and all that now remains Is to "watch It grow." Main street runs north and south and parallel to that thoroughfare are O'liiii-n, Ilarrinian, Barbara, Glen denning and Ltunne streets. Despite the fact that two of the principal thoroughfares arc named in honor of railroad officials and two others In honor of two popular ennduetnts, the new town is not to bo a child of the railroad oetupus. Roosevelt, Taft, Coe, Furnish and Page ary all honored with streets " - their honor. The center avenue crossing Main street Is Coe p. yen no, rn 1 parallel to this is Roosevelt avenue, Wood ave nue, Furnish avenue, Taft nvthue, and Page avenue. One other street is on the pint funning diagonally across the southwest part of the city and runs parallel to the O. It. & X. railroad tiacks. This is Sherman street. At the Intersection of Coe avenue and Main street, there will be a large fountain. The width of the streets will make this place roomy and an attractive center of the city. Skirting the western limits of the town jiite Is a right-of-way reserved for an "elee'ric of other railway." It Is understood that the O.

The log from which the shingles were cut was lying on the ground and hag 350 rings. If each ring denotes a year's growth ,as claimed, the tree began growing A. D. 800. Despite the ago of the log the shingles are of fine quality. It is believed here that there arc some mistakes In the above dispatch. In the first place it Is believed that the land referred to is located in the south eastern corner of the Umatilla reser vation and that it was given to the Fmatllla Instead of the Wyandotte Indians. If this Is the land referred to, it was not alloted at the time the remainder of the reservation was for the reason that It was unsurveyed and was too rought to be surveyed. This land never has been surveyed and Is valuable only for grazing or timber. Portland. April 21.

The plans for the enlargement of the hotel call for Che nddit'lm of two more stories, the installation of an elevator, the enlargement of the din ing room and the general rehabilita tion of the hostelry.
