Trout Fishing Ideal Sport in Isolated Astoria & Columbia River Railroad Will Construct Cut-Off. Mountain Streams. Marshfield — Ten-Mile lakes, near Coos bay, is a locality which affords as much real sport in the way o f trout fishing as any part o f the country. The place is more popular this year than ever before. With better connec tions with the outside, the lake country will doubtless be one o f the most fam ous resorts in Oregon. The lakes are not far from the ocean, are hidden in the mountains, and have their outlet through Ten-Mile creek, which empties directly into the ocean. The trip to the lakes from Coos Bay is a novel one for a person who has never taken it. Gasoline launches run from the bay cities to the head o f navigation on North inlet. There passengers muBt leave the boat and ride on the stage about 10 miles over the mountains to the head o f the lakes, where there is a settlement called Lakeside. Here is located a creamery, stage stables, two boarding houses and a store and post- office. Lakeside has been platted into town lots, and quite a number of sum mer cottages huve been built there. Along the banks o f the lakes are many attructirve cottages. Mayor L. J. Simpson, of North Bend, has the most elaborate summer home on the lakes, his house being quite a large one and commanding a beautiful view. Some of the ranchers live on the lake, but it will not be many years until all of the lake frontage is taken up by summer homes. CHANGE N ATR O N C U TO FF. S. P. to Bar Junction With Oregon Trunk at Crescent is Plan. Crescent — "Revision o f the Natron cut-off o f the Southern Pacic line is now in progress near here, two engin eering crews under Engineer Knowlton being in the field. One party is near the Buinmit west o f lakes Odell and Crescent, the other 12 miles west of here and working toward Crescent. A pack train o f 35 animals is used to convey the outfit for the Summit crew. The revision is in conformity with the change in the line determined upon by the company some time ago. The line at present passes a mile and a half south o f Crescent, but the new line will swing into the town, it is under stood, to form a junction point with the Oregon Trunk. Grading on the Southern Pacific line from Klamath Falls northward toward Crescent has progressed to a point six miles this side o f Klamath agency, 65 miles south of here. The Oregon Trunk line, which is rushing its survey work, this week placed another party in the field near the agency. DRAW 260 FEET IN LEN G TH . Albany Has Longest Wooden Span in Whole World. Albany — Work has begn on the construction o f a new draw span in the big Corvallis & Eastern railroad bridge spanning the Willamette river at this city. A draw 260 feet long will be built, replacing one of similar length and new pivot pier constructed beneath it. This pier w ill be 22 feet in diam eter at the top and 34 feet in diameter at the bed o f the river. IThis 260-foot draw is the longest wooden draw span in the world. Local railroad men say there is no other draw in existence so long as this one which is not construct ed o f steel. For many years the local bridge has held this record. The next longest wooden draw span, which was 240 feet in length, was on a wagon bridge in California, which has recent ly been replaced with steel, so now the local bridge has by far the longest swinging wooden span on earth. Sawmill to Cut 50,000 Feet. Corvallis-—The McCredie mill on the Mary’s river flat will be in full opera tion in a short time. A dam across Mary’ s river has been completed, g iv ing ideal conditions for handling logs. The water is raised four feet a half mile above the dam. The river is full o f logs, nnd the Carver road is bring ing in more every day, so that contin uous operation at full capacity will be posssible. A t full capacity this mill ought to cut 50,000 feet of lumber daily and employ from 25 to 50 men. High School Ready by Autumn. Dallas — The work o f constructing the new high school is progressing rapidly. The cement foundations have been laid and the building will prob ably be completed within two months, making it possible for school to com mence at the usual time. The new schoolhouse will be thoroughly modern and well equipped. It w ill cost $40,- 000. The contractors are rushing street improvement work along at a lively rate. Several blocks have been mneadamized and before the summer is over many more w ill be improved. McKenzie River Trip Popular. Eugene— The trip up the McKenzie river is becoming so popular that it has been necess iry to double and some times treble the service on the run. Each stage carries 12 people and two and three stages were sent up daily during the past week, besides many private parties going by team and au tomobiles. The road is in perfect con dition. except that it is dusty in spots clear through to the base o f the Three Sisters. New Town Springs Up. Vale— Brogan, the new town o f the W illow River irrigation project, now has train connection* with Vale, the last rail in the Brogan yards having been placed. Temporary service is being maintained by the construction train. Less than a year ago the town- site o f Brogan was a wilderness of sagebrush land, but now it is a town of several hundred people and has six modem white pressed brick buildings. Big Field o f Beets. Nyssa— Probably the largest sugar beet field in Oregon is located three miles north o f Nyssa and contains 500 acres o f sugT beet* on land owned by Frank J. Ki*e*el, o f Ogden. Astoria — A force o f 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 o f 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 of the Hammond Lumber company’ s mill and continuing along on solid ground to a point about 200 feet west of 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 of 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. A P P L E C R O P T O BE SAVED. M OTHER DROW NS CHILDREN. Driven Insane by Lonesome roundings and Fear. Sur Antioch, Cal. — One after another, four little children were drowned in a tub by their mother. Two older child ren tried to prevent the murders, but the woman went about the work in a strange calm and strength, as though she had been called upon to make sac rifice to some unknown power. She took her arrest in the same quiet spirit, gazinir calmly at her husband as he struggled with his^agcr.y on coming home from work to find his babies dead. The woman, Mrs. Joseph Mello, w ife of a ranchman, said she was tired o f looking forever at the brown hills that shut in their home. She said she was afraid that she was losing her mind and feared her children would inherit her insantiy. A fte r her husband left home in the morning, she set about her task. She filled a large washtub with water and gathered the children into the kitchen. They were Ramona, 4 years old; Leona, 2 years old; and Bernal and Vernal, 5 months old twins. These put up their arms to their mother trustingly, and ¡were sent away with HEAT AGAIN HITS CHICAGO Torrid Weather Extends From Atlantic to Rockies Five Dead, Others Dying—Mad Dogs Bite Three—Authorltes Work to Save the Babies. Chicago — Notwithstanding cool weather in Chicago because of a stiff breeze off the lake, five persons died Wednesday, many were prostrated, o f whom four will probably die, and three were bitten by rabid dogs. A ll the country from the Rocky mountains to the Atlantic seaboard swelters under a veritable blanket o f heat and many cases o f suffering are reported from various cities. Weath er forecasters say there is no relief in sight and that the temperature will go higher.

Hood River— In order that a $15,000 apple crop on a 30-acre Hood R iver or chard, the title to which is in litiga tion, may not be wasted, C. H. Sproat has been appointed receiver on behalf o f the United States court. The property was formerly owned by Oscar Vanderbilt, who sold to Minette Thullen, Bishop and Joseph Thullen. Differences as to the payment o f the purchase price caused the matter to be brought to the attention o f the courts. Since the suit was started the apples have begun to ripen and it was shown the court that the value o f the pro duct to be harvested is at least $500 per acre. The bond of the receiver was fixed at $5,000. Nehalem Jetty Work On. Astoria— L. Houston is sending a number o f men to Nehalem to begin work on the construction of the jetty on the south side o f the entrance to the bay, for which he was awarded the con tract a short time aso. He has also engaged several o f the men who were working for the Lyle road and Mr. Stark, who has had charge o f the build ing o f the railroad between Tillamook and Nehalem, w ill be Mr. Houston’s superintendent o f construction.

Marshfield — The Carnival associa tion has appropriated about $3,000 for the carnival to be held on Coos Bay one week, beginning August 15.
