The deeds recently given the state by Mr Taffe gave full title to the state of all property necessary and tbe flaws have been corrected under the direction ot the State Attorney-General. Governor Cbambeilain anticipates the receipt of the complete abstract from The Dalles within a day or two and is certain that it will prove acceptable in every way to tbe Government.

Washington, March 23 It developed today, upon irquiry at the war depart ment, that the Government is not able to begin cors'rnct'on of The Dalles Celilo canal because the State of Oregon has not yat conveyed to the Federal Government absolute titla to the right of way for this waterwav. The oiiginal act of Congress author izing the canal populated that rto wotk should be done until the state had pre eented right of way to the Government free of ro t. When this condition was imposed by Congress, steps were taken bv the state looking to the purchase or condemnation of the necessary lands and Army engineers are advised that most, if not all, of the land necessary has been purchased or condemned. In fact last September Major Langfitt trans mitted to the Chief of Engineers ab stracts of tit'e to tbfa land. These abstracts were examined by the Attorney-General Bnd pppioved as being: 6ufficently binding. The papers were then returned to Major , Lamjfitt with the understanding that the state would make payments of tne various parcels of land included in tho riiiht of way .Since that time nothing has betu heard from Mnjor Langfitt or from the state and, so far as the War Department is aware, this right of way has not been purchased. Until the title is turned over to the Government, not une cent of the 300, 000 appropriated last session can be ex pended. Notwithstanding this situa tion, Major T.angfi't will proceed with the preparation ot the pioject for the ex penditure of the money and work will begin in accordance with his p'an just as soon as title to the right of way reats in the Government. The recent action of the State Por tage Railway Commission in effecting a compromise with I. II. Taffe com pleted the title to the light of way de manded by the Government and the ab stractors are no preparing the final abstract for the approval of the Govern ment. The abstract will be forwarded to Washington within a few days st the latest and. after examination and ap proval by the United States Attorney General, the Judte will be executed by the state and passed to the Government. When the former abstract was pub mitted to the Government, It was found that an additional piece of property was neoessary to be secured from Mr. Taffe and that there were several minor de ll: HEART Of AN OAK. Treasure Box Contains: Diamonds, Deed and Old Will Found. New York, March 22. A deed transferring twelve acres ot land within the bounds of New York city, a mort gage and a will, both dated December 12, 1789, and other business papers running down to 1835. together with a silver tea service, knives, forks and spoons, 6ix finger rings, a pair of diamond earrings and a pearl brooch, all incased in a stout iron b"x, were found in the heart of an old oak tree yesterday by one of a gang of woods men cutting timber north of Lincoln Park, N. J. Carl Gilkerson is the finder. He was splitting open th's heart of oak when out tumbled the tin box. The rusted lock fell apart, the top fell off and the papers and valuables dropped out. Gil kerson placed the treasure in the hands of Paterson lawyers to hold for him. In case a legt.1 claimant turns up he will surrender the papers, but he believes that tbe silver and jewelry are his by finder's right. The will is the last testament of Matthew Weatherby, and by it be t-ansfers on his death to his two sins, Charles and Andrew, $12,000 in money and property and twelve acres of land on the inland of Manhattan. The deed, dated the same as the will. proves the dear title ot the land, and that Weatherby secured it by purchase from Charles Grosvenor. There is a mortgage paper for !f30) and many re ceipts for taxes, interest payments and the like, the lat st date being July 16, 1S35. The interior of the tee was per fectly dry, and with the exception of mil.iew the papeis are perfec ly pre served. Squin els have made the tree their home, and the cavity in which the box rested wn coverrd to the depth of seveial feet wi'h nuts and bark. No one in the neighborhood remem bers the Weatherby family or their descendants. Charles Dale, of New York City, owns the property on which stood the tree. An old Btone house on theltnd is now used as a tenement. A family named Harris was the last regolar tenant the neighborhood can remember. the United States Government's magnificent participation in the Lewis and Clark Exposition. The staff work on tbe beautiful Bridge of Nations at the Lewis and Clark Exposition is now com pleted. The bridge ia almost half a mile long, and is built of wood and staff, in imitation of solid masonry. The bridge crosses Guild's Lake, the largest body of water ever enclosed within an ex position fence, and connects the mainland with the Government peninsula. Mrs. Eva Emery Dye, author of "The Conquest," who has been busy for several months tracing descendants of the Lewis and Clark party other than leaders of that famous expedition, has lo cated, at Fowler, California, a son of the "Boy Shannon'' frequently mentioned in the journals of the explorers. He is Judge J. B. Shannon, an aged and respected resident of Fowler for many years. Judge Shannon has accepted an invitation to be the guest of the Lewis and Clark Exposition which is to be held in celebration of the centennial of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, on June 1, the open ing day. LEAGUE ORGANIZED. tioo, trolley lines and development of water powers were among the principal subjects discussed, and a verv profitable day's work was closed with an evening of enjoyment when tbe delegates Fath ered around the banquet tables in the Willamette Hotel, partook of tempting viands and listened to toasts in which humor was generously mingled with sober business thought. Ine railroads came in far a large share of the attention 01 tbe convention though tbe discussion upon this subject was principally of a very general nature. The railroads were commended for the work they have done in bringing settlers to Oregon, but there was criti cism of freight rates and lack of railway lines into parts of the state not n w reached by railroads.
