Forestry Official Find Reserve Are
Now Wanted.
Washington, Sept. 30. "Contrary
to what appears to be a popular belief,
there is a steadily growing sentiment
among tne people of Oregon in favor of
forest reserves," said H. D. Langille,
the Oregon man who is now forest in
spector in the bureau of forsstry, and
who haa just returned from a summer
spent in examining lands that have
been withdrawn in that state.
I spent a large part of the summer
conferring with people living in the vi
cinity of various withdrawals," he
continued, "and I find they generally
indorse the reserve policy, and want
more reserves established in Oregon. I
talked to farmers, to lumbermen, to
stockmen, and, in fact, to all classes,
and the overwhelminhg sentiment fav
orable to the reserve policy was very
gratifying."
Mr. Langille spent several weeks in
the Kogue river country and the re
mainder of the season in the vicinity of
the other withdrawals in Oregon, save
that in the Blue mountains, which he
visited a year ago. In Southwestern
Oregon he found the people divided,
half favoring a reserve, ball opposing.
In Eastern Oregon, the sentiment was
strongly in favor ol new reserves at all
localities where withdrawals have
been made.
He believes the examinations made
this year by the various representatives

MAD RUSH TO DEATH.
South Carolina Train Strikes Curve at
Very High Speed,
' Charlotte, S. C, Sept. SO. While
running at a high rate of speed, a
south-bound fast mail train on the
Southern Railway jumped from a tres-
tie 75 feet high, north of Nanvilie, W
Va., this afternoon and was almost de
molished. Of the crew ot l men, in
cluding mail carriers, nine were killed
and seven injured.
The trestle where the accident oc-
cnrre(j
is 600 feet long and is on a
sharp curve. Engineer Brodie, who
waa a new man on that division, came
to the curve at high speed.
The locomotive bad only gone about
50 feet when it sprang from the track,
carrying with it four mail cars and an
express car. The trestle, a wroden
structure, also gave way for a space 01
50 feet. At the foot of the trestle is a
shallow stream with a rocky bottom.
Striking this, the locomotive and cars
were reduced to a mass of twisted Iron
and steel and pieces of splintered wood.
All the dead men were mutilated.
No one on any of the cais nad'made an
-ffn,. a lamp, and the bodies of all
those killed were found in the wiecx
age of the different ears to which tney
bad been enraged. A crowd soon gath
red. Some women among them
I fainted at sight of the crushed bodies.
All the express matter in the express
car waa destroyed.

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
VALUES ARE HIGHER.
Taxable Property of State Is Worth
About $175,000,000.
From what can be learned in unoffi
cial advices from different counties of
the Btate, it seems probable that the
total value of the taxable property of
the state as shown by the assessment
recently completed will be in the
neighborhood of $175,000,000. This
will be in round numbers $25,000,000
greater than last year.
From K'inoet every county comes the
report that valuations are being ad
vanced and that new property is being
added to the assessment rolls, so that
the total increase for the entire state
will be large.
The highest assessment ever made in
Oregon was that of 1893, when the total
valuation was over $168,000,000. The
valuation had grown to that sum by
steady advances from $84,000,000 in
1887. From 1893 onward the counties
began to vie with each other in reduc
ing assessments in order to escape a
portion of the burden of state taxes, j
The state taxes weie apportioned among
the counties in proportion to the as
sessed valuation and as each county
controlled its own assessment it, could
gain something by reduction. In 1900
this process of reduction had brought
the total assessed valuation down to
1117,000,000.
In order to put a stop to this rivalry
in reducing assessments the legislature
of 1901 passed an act providing that
state taxe 1 shall be apportioned among
the counties at a fixed ratio. The ben
eficial results of this change were seen
the first year, for the total assessment
that year was $141,000,000, and in
1902 it bad grown to over $148,000,000.
If it shall reach $175,000,000 this year,
as now Beems probable, the valuation
will then be the highest in the history
of the state. ' .
Nearly all of the advance indicated
this year could have been made upon
timber lands without placing an nnjuat
valuation upon that class of proprety.
In nearly all the counties where there
is a considerable area of timber, land
subject to assessment, increased valua
tions have been made this year. In
cities, where both business and resi
dence property has found ready rental
at satisfactory rates, the valuations
have been put up.
Reports received from various sources
indicate that the valuation of larm
property baa not been radicaly in
creased, but only in accordance with
improvements made.
BOUQHT BY EASTERN MEN.
Cornucopia Qroup pf Mines In Eastern
Oregon Sold for $600,000.
A telegram received at Baker City
by Lack & Schmits from Trenton, N
J., announcing the incorporation of the
Cornucopia mines of Oregon company,
with a capital stock of $5,000,000.
This announcement closes one of the
largest mine deals ever consummated
in Oregon. It involves the purchase
of the famous Cornucopia mine in the
extreme northeastern portion of Baker
county, which is included in the Union
Companion group, the Red Jacket, the
Last Chance and 15 other patented
claims, together with the mills, trill
sites and extensive water rights. This
property belonged to the J. E. Searles
bankrupt estate. The price paid for
the' mining property was $600,000
cash. These mines have been worked
since 1885 with varying success, owing
the leng distance from railroad
transportation, all ore and supplies
having to be hauled a distance of 55
miles over a difficult mountain road.
A portion of the ore is very rich, while
there is a great quantity of low grade
ore, which it win not pay to transport
bv team.
It is understood that one 01 tne nrst
moves of the new company will be the
construction of a railroad from Baker
City to the mine. A tnnnel over one
mile ions has been surveyed lor tne
purpose of opening up all of the claims,
Bernard McDonald haa been appointed
general manager and has taken posses
sion for the new owners.

have contracted to deliver each year to
W. II. Lyda, who will at once move his
mill to tbe Bellinger bridge on Dairy
creek, three miles north of town, where
there is a good pond with a storage ca
pacity of 3,000,000 feet. The first de
livery of logs will be made early in De
cember. Cattle Will Have No Feed.
Tbe most disastrous fire that haa ever
occurred in the hayftelde of Lake coun
ty ragel in tbe lower Chewaucan
marsh, 30 miles norm of Latevtew.
At least 7,000 tons of bay In the stack
and in buncbes in tbe field bas been
destroyed. Tbe loss is not only the
hay, but the pasture for fall feeding
will be completely ruined. Tba hay
is valuab'e at $5 to $8 per ton. making
tbe loss close to $75,000. The settlers
fought bard to put aut the fire.

COMMISSION THE JUDGE.
Spending of Lewis and Clark Fund la
Its Hand.
Attorney General Crawford has ren
dered an opinion at the request of Sec
retary of State Dunbar in which ha
holds that the state commission for tha
expenditure of the $500,000 appropriat
ed for the Lewis and Clark fair, must,
to a great extent, if not entirely, be the
judge of what expendituers are author
ized to no made oy them.
This question was presented by the
incurring of an expense of $2.50 for
printing a resolution presented to tha
Irans-Miesissippi congress requesting
an appropriation from the national
congress in aid of the Lewis and Clark
fair. The secretary of state was in
doubt whether the commission could
use the fair appropriation in trying to
get other appropriations, and referred
the matter to the attorney general,
with the result above stated.
Judge Crawford says, among other
things, that neither the title nor tha
body of the Lewis and Clark fair act
attempts particularly to define the pow
ers and duties of the commission, but
in every instance confers a general pow
er to carry out the purposes for which
it was created.

' Addition to College Fsrm.
The purchase of 20 acres of land to
be added to the Oregon argicultural
college farm is understood to have
been practically consummated. The
transfer has not been made, but the de
tails bave been agre-d to by the build
ing committee of the board and tha
owner of the property. The land ad
orns the present holdings, of the col
lege, lying partly south of the college
campus and east of tbe farm. The
price paid 1 $6,000, or $300 per acre,
which is regarded as very low, consid
ering the location.
Bored Through Rock for Water.
A well 170 feet deep, 162 feet of
which penetrates solid rock, and con
taining an inexhaustible supply of
water of the depth of 25 feet, exists at
Stafford, Clackamas county. Lee Bros.,
of Canby have just finished boring the
well on Sharp Bros. farm. An attempt
to pomp the well dry proved futile.
This is the tenth attempt tbe Sharp
Bros, have made to reach water on their
farm that would supply necessary water
for farming purposes.
Plenty of Water at Agricultural.
A complete and copious water supply
for the many buildings on the argicul
tural college grounds is now secure.
Four wells of two-inch pipe, sunk re
spectively at 89, 116, 121 and 125 feet
afford a stream four inches in diameter
that cannot be exhausted by constant
pumping. Tbe capacity is 2,000 gal
lons per hour, ample for use in the
buildings. A supply for tbe grounds la
a need of the future.
