MeWillinms piloted n pnrty of Interested jwopl? to tlio kaolin linh, thirteen miles northeast of Ash- litnil, Inot Sundnypnys lliu Ashliiml lleeord. The party consisted o Wil linm Potter of Kirlimoml, Cnlifornin who! ft interested in a manufactur ing plant which turn" out vnritfua elny jiroductn and Pntfessor I.tlje jrnm, the mining expert. They start ed for the kaolin heds in nn nnto be liniKinK to Mr. Whitehead of Medford, the chauffeur beinc; Jin. Grace Whitchcnd Norman. On the. road they liml Kerious difficulty with the nutn, which is n now one, hut were pottcn out of their troubles by Clin. MeWillinms, the RnrnRO man. who hnppcncd to be picnicing in the Dead Indian country. Shower Spoils Trip. Owing to a thunder shower the trip failed of its purpose, which was to explore the extent and examine the quality of the beds, and also discover the deposit of plnstio clay which al ways appears with kaolin, nml which is necessary to mix with it in the manufacturing of poHerics. They succeeded in finding n Vim all amount of the plnstic clay vhich will be test ed by Mr. Potter at his plant in Kirlimoml, he having previously test ed snmples of the kaolin itself. Mr. Potter intimated that should deposits of plastic clay be found there are probabilities of a mnnnfacturing plant being established here. Six yenrs ago twenty-two cars of kaolin from this placo was shipped to Port laud. It was mixed with plastic clay from Yamhill county because the clay was more accessible and no attempt was mode at tho time to locate plastic clay here. Tho kaolin scut to Port laud was used in the manufacture of n number of dishes which are now nt tho permanent exhibit building near tho depot. The dishes are of a splendid quality and could easily be mnde right hero in Ashland if the plastic clay wero found. Tho small amount that was found was taken from tho edge of Lake Rceser, on top of the mountain above the kaolin de posits. Jrfx-ntlon of licit. Tho kaolin beds nre on what is known as the Hooper section, better known as the old ltceser place. B. P. Keener homestcadd 100 acres of the laud thirty-two yenrs nso and bought the balance of the above mentioned section from John Gruhb nnd others. Mr. Keeser's son-in-law, Charles Hooper, now lives ono the place, and Mr. McWilliams stntes that his party was royally entertained at the Hooper home. Mr. Potter expressed great admira tion for tho llogue river valley and specially that part which ho was shown on this trip. Ho believes it has n great future before it as does also Professor Liljegram. The latter beliovcs there are prospcts of find ing good Jdges of feldspar in this section and savs such a deposit would be n valuublc asset to the community. FLOOD OVERS DAY ISLES COLUMBIA BASIN PORTLAND, Ore., June C Sev eral Islands in tho Columbia nnd Willamette rivers, used for agricul tural and dairying purposes, nro In undated today on account of tho high water and the livestock has been removed to tint mainland. Many acres of lowland are under water. A number of bcarona maintained by tho lighthouse portico along both rivers have been swept nwuy. nnd will not be replaced until the rivers subside. No material damage has been done In Portland with the exception of tho labor entailed In removing mer chandise from docks and basements. Many additional basements were flooded today by tho secpago from tho Willamette river nnd It was a common sight to sec pumps working In the streets In nn endeavor to keep them clear of water. Tho usual performance nt the l.v rle theater last night was abandoned on account of tho water In the base ment putting tho lights out of com mission. Sowers are still congested by the backwater but no harm I expected to result ns It Is believed tho water will subside "before sanitary condi tions are seriously affected. Tho Willamette river reached n stage of 234 above low water to day and Is slowly rising. Forecaster Deals estimates that tho river will reach the 24 foot stage before Mon day. Tho Columbia river at Vancouver was still rising, hut no serious dam ugo has yet resulted. Molllo Wing, recently In "The Winsome. Widow," will play vaude ville engagements until the Shuberts call for her services.
