Bumper Wheat Sample Shown.
The Dalles— An evidence of the dur
ability of the soil of this locality is on
exhibition at the rooms of the Business
Men’s association in this city. I t is a
bunch of wheat from the Rice home
stead on Ten Mile, taken from a field
that has been continuously cropped for
45 years.
The stalks are four feet high, the
heads plump and well filled.
The en
tire field from which the sample is ta
ken will yield not less than 40 bushels
to the acre. This field w as one of the
first “ upland” fields cultivated in Was
co county, and has raised a crop every
year for the past 45 years.
Some years the yield from this land
has not been very great, but it has nev
er failed to produce a crop, and the
average yield has been about 35 bush
els to the acre.
Coal in Linn County.
Stayton— Coal in paying quantities
underlies an area of approximately five
by eight miles on the Linn county side
o f th j Santiam river, and forms an
other natural resource o f Stayton
which may some day be o f inestimable
value. The discovery was made this
week by Pat Lambert.
While 30 feet beneath the surface
one mile south of Kiphart’s bluff, Mr.
Lambert found a fine quality o f soft
coal in a cropping similar to the out
cropping at Kiphart's bluff and in the
cave at Kingston.
When the matter
was reported here, A. L. Shreve,
among others, figured it out that all of
these croppings o f bituminous coal
form one and the same vein, which
covers an estimated area of 40 to 45
square miles.
Elgin Gets Brick Plant.
Elgin — Representing a company
wishing to construct a fire brick plant
here, J. W. Robinson appeared before
the Commercial club, asking a bonus
o f 10 acres of ground for construction
of a $100,000 brick plant.
Bricks
made here have been tested for fire
proof, and have proved superior to any
manufactured in this country.
While
the brick weighs less that half that of
ordinary brick, weighing but two
pounds, it withstands a pressure which
is required to use in buildings in New
York City.
Gas Flow Continuous,
Marshfield—The flow of natural gas
at Harbor, in the Southern end o f Cur
ry county, continues. It was discover
ed about two months ago on the coast,
and has been found on the table land
about half a mile back from where it
was first found. No steps to develop
the gas have yet been taken, and as to
just what kind o f gas it is has not
yet been learned.
Tt is likely that an
expert will be brought in to investi
gate and see if the find is o f any value.
Gets Another Sawmill.
Bend—James E. Reed is erecting
sawmill on the Laverne Reed claim,
some distance to the eastward o f the
Silver Lake road and about two miles
south o f Bend. The capacity o f the
mill will be 15,000 feet per day.
A
planer and other adjuncts will be ad
ded.
Build Warehouse for Hay.
Joseph— F. D. McCully and Ed Rum
ble are having a 50x100 foot ware
house huilt near the depot, to be used
for their large hay business.
Owing
to the unusually heavy insurance, it
proved very expensive to store hay
with wool and grain.
Will Drill for Oil.
Bandon— The Miocene Oil & } Gas
company is preparing to start drilling
- ' n *be Bear Creek country.
The dril
lers come from Pennslyvania and are
experienced men in the oil drilling
business.
Train Reaches Prairie City.
Prairie City— The first train into
this city reached here last Saturday
night, when a construction train on the
Sumpter Valley railroad arrived at the
depot. Regular train service has now
been inaugurated.
Another Big Warehouse.
Klamath Falls— George T. Baldwin
is building a warehouse 48x86 feet on
the sidetrack across from the depot.
The building will be covered with cor-
ruga ted iron.

They were attracted here by the re

Much of Clip Will Be Consigned to

Vale— Vale wool again brought the
highest bid of the season when the H.
L. Mitchell clip of 30,000 pounds, sold
at 17 cents. A bid o f 171» cents was
offered for the big clip o f the Malheur
Land & Livestock company, but was
refused.
Other clips sold were the C. H. Ox-
man, 25,000 pounds at 16 cents; the
Jack McCumsey and L. B. Hayes, at 13
cents. One million and a half pounds
of wool were in the warehouses, but
only a few clips were placed on the
market, on account o f the present low
prices. Twenty Eastern wool buyers
were present. Another sale day will
be held in July.
Most of the large

FLOUR B O TT L E BLOWS UP.
Chemist Tells o f Injurious Effect o f
Doctored Article on Stomach,
Kansas City, Mo. — The contents
of a bottle, said by attorneys for
the government to have contained
bleached flour, exploded during the
"bleached flour” trial here today.
It
was while Professor S. F. Acre, o f the
chemistry department of Johns Hop
kins university, was on the stand that
the explosion occurred.
"W h at caused itT” askel an attor
ney.
“ The formation o f peroxide gas in
the flour,” answered the professor,
“ Decomposition as well as bleaching
would cause gas to form in flour,” he
explained.
On cross-examination the professor
admitted that there were nitrites in
air, rainwater and melted snow.
Alfred Steigel, professor of clinical
medicine in the University o f Pennsyl
vania, testified that nitrites, when in
troduced into a human body, lowered
the grade o f the blood, depressed the
circulation, had an injurious effect on
the muscular tissues and excited in
juries to tho stomach and intestinal
tracts by impairing indigestion.
He
added that in 50 years o f practice he
had never seen a case of nitrite poison
ing.
Miss Hanna L. Wesslyng, o f the
government food laboratory, Chicago,
brought into court biscuits o f her own
baking. The biscuits had been made
by Miss Wesslyng from some of the
flour seized by the government. Those
which had been subjected to the Greias
re-agent test were pink.
Biscuits
made from unbleached flour subjected
to the same test retained their normal
color. Miss Wesslyng said the pink
color indicated the presence o f nitrites.

Minnesota Gets Fat Sum From

Es
St. Paul,
Minn. — Through
a
settlement effected with the estate
of John S. Kennedy, New York multi
millionaire, Minnesota has been en
riched to the extent of $345,325, one
of the greatest sums ever paid in this
country as an inheritance tax.
The tax is the first paid on property
in Minnesota by a non-resident. It
consists of 100,000 shares of stock in
the Great Northern Ruilway company.
The state will also endeavor to col
lect an inheritance tax from the estate
o f the late E. H. Harriman, who is
supposed to have owned stock in the
Minneapolis & St. Louis and the Great
Northern railroads.
This will prob
ably far exceed that o f the Kennedy
estate.
