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.

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.

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,-

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

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

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.

Sur
Antioch, Cal. — One after another,
four little children were drowned in a
tub by their mother. Two older child

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

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

They were Ramona, 4 years old;
Leona, 2 years old; and Bernal and

has been appointed receiver on behalf

Differences as to the payment o f the

Since the suit was started the apples
