P. . 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

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.

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.
