Grounds for a terminal and depot have been donated by the residents of Oove. The Amalgamated Sugar com pany has agreed to raise 600 acres of beets along the line, where heretofore the price of hauling has made their eulture prohibitive. The right of way has been secured, and had it not been far Chief Engineer A . B. Browne being called to Canyon City aa a witness irr a suit at law the survey would have been completed at this time. The power proposition on the Minam river has not been looked into except to ascertain that at least 20,#00 horse power could be developed. S u rvey o f Eugene-Corvallis Line. Marshfield— An agent looking for timber for an Eastern syndicate says that be has figures that show that there are 24,000,000,000 feet of timber in Coos county alone and 80,000,000,000 feet acceesible to Coos bay if a railroad is built through the county. H e says that on the Umpqua are 88,000,000,600 feet and on the Sins ¡aw 16,000,000,000 feet. In C uny county he found large tracts of black oak that would make fine furniture. These trees, he aaya, w ill average three cuts of 20 feet each. E ight thousand acres of this oak timber was bought by San Francisco tannsrs for its bark but the timber had been found to be too valuable for manufactur ing purposes to peel for its lark . On Tillamook bay and its tributary streams he says there are 20,000,000,. 000 feet, and on the Nehalem and its north and south forks there are 25,- 000,000,000 more feet. This includes fir, cedar spruce and hemlock. He says the timber bas all been cruised, and that his figures are conservative. / Eugene — The Willamette Valley Electric railway company announces that its corps of surveyors w ill probab ly begin surveying for its Eugene-Cor- vallis line this week. T. W. Archer, a civil engineer, who w ill have charge of the work, has arrived from Cali fornia. He w ill also select a site (or a power station.

La Grande— The management of the horticultural exhibit at the St. Louis fair lias written to Stackland Bros., of Oove, who are among the leading fruit growers in the Grand Ronde, for more of the fruit from this valley, and in a telegram asks: "C an Cove ship now, ear prunes, plums, pears and applesT W e pay freight. Sell at least half and return proceeds. W ire collect." To Which they replied that a car would be shipped in two weeks’ time, ah some of the fruits are hardly ripe just now. Drill for $300 a Side. Bumpier— As a result of the drilling contest at Bourne on Labor day, In which M. D. McLeod came off victor ious, there is promise of a much more interesting contest. McLeod, holding the championship for Oregon, has been challenged by W illiam Maddern, for a match at |600 a side. The prelimin aries have been arranged, and the town offering the most tempting purse w ill get the contest. There is some talk of making the side bet $1,600, so confi dent is each man of beating the other. Lawton Tow nsltc Sold. Bumpter— The townsite of Lawton, which over four years ago gave such promise of greatness, has been sold for $&,000. This was the amount of a judgment held by Lina Sturgiss against the townsite company. Many build ings were erected during the boom, and Lawton Was put down in the brain of the fanciful promoter as the terminus of an important railway line that would some creeping up the mountains from a junction with the O. R. A N. This / dream faded away and with it Lawton’s claim to distinction. Washington County Shipments. Shipment of Silver H r. Estacada— Linn Brothers, who own a sawmill 10 miles northeast o f this place, have just shipped from here a carload of the finest quality of lumber ever seen in this section of the state. The firm owns a large tract of timber land near their m ill and now has on hand a very large assortment of finish ing-lumber. The timber from which it is sawed is of a variety called by tim- bermen "s ilv e r fir ," and is of lighter color and finer grain than the yellow fir. A number of experienced lumber men and carpenters saw the lumber as it was being loaded and all pronounced it the best they had seen in the state. The shipment went to Oregon City.
