Medford— A forest fire is raging
about nine miles out o f Butte Falls,
and about three miles square of yellow
pine timber is said to be burned over.
The timber is said to be valuable,
erasing 4,000,000 feet to the quarter
section.
The fire originated in the embers of

Astoria — A force of Astoria & Co­
lumbia River railroad engineers has
arrived from Portland and are making
detailed surveys for the proposed cut­
off at Tongue Poiunt.
The cutoff is to start at the com­
mencement o f the big curve a short
distance west of the John Day river
and run through the bluff several hun­
dred feet south o f the present track.
It will then follow the short line back
o f the Hammond Lumber company’s
mill and continuing along on solid
ground to a point about 200 feet west
o f the Astoria Box company’s plant,
where it will connect with the existing
trestle.
The main object in making the
change is to do away with the heavy
curve at Tongue Point, as well as with
a long stretch o f trestle that is ex­
pensive to keep in repair.
A cut is to be made through the bluff
at the -point and the earth secured
there will be utilized to fill in the
grounds at the depot.

Y e a rs,
Washington—Old Mother Earth, like
femininity through all time, but with
far greater success than most o f her
sex, has defied man to learn her age.
Scientists still admit their defeat.
Their latest estimate credits her with
"n o t above 70,000,000 years or below
55.000. 000 years.”
This estimate, to which official sanc­
tion is given through publication by
the Smithsonian Institution, is the re­
sult o f studies by Frank Wigglesworth
Clark and George F. Becker, of the
United States Geological Survey.
Professor Clark in a paper entitled
" A Preliminary Study o f Chemical De­
nudation,” presents a review o f avail­
able data from a chemical point of
view. Mr. Becker discussed the ques­
tion in a paper on “ The Age o f the
Earth” from a more philosophical point
o f view.
The age o f the earth has always been
a subject for discussion among men of
science and largely without any definite
agreement among the representatives
o f the different branches o f studies on
account o f the different points of at­
tack.
Briefly, the more recent discussion
as to the earth’s age has placed time
as follows:
Lord Kelvin, in 1862, 20,000,000 to
400.000. 000 years, with a probable 98,-
000,000 years.
Clarence King and Carl Barus, in
1893, 24,000,000 years.
Lord Kelvin in 1897 revised his fig­
ures to 20,000,000 to 40,000,000 years.
Da Lapparent, in 1890, 67,000,000
to 90,000,000 years.
Charles D. Walcott, secretary o f the
Smithsonian Institution, in 1893, max­
imum age 70,000,000 years.
J. J. Jolly, in 1899, age of the ocean
80.000. 000 to 90,000,000 years.
W. J. Sollas, in 1909, age of the
ocean, 80,000,000 to 150,000,000 years.
