was nothing to awake the stay-at-

fioated everywhere, bat the hurrahs
were absent. A large number Of the
people sought amusement in the fes-
tivities of the neighboring towns
Gold Hill was given delegation from
this city of some 500 people. Many
people from Medford and other valley
towns also attended the Gold Hill cele.
bration, which was the biggest event
Of the day in Southern Oregon. A
good program and an interesting
series of amusements were presented
and the celebration was very sue.

A San Francisco dispatch says:
During his recent visit to Califor.
mia. President Hartman planned i'm
provements and innovations on his
Southern Pacific system which will
keep officials Of the traffic and oper-
ating departments busy for many
months.
"One Of his plans is to shorten the
time between this city and Portland.
and improvements TO that end are now
going ON. Traffic officials believe that
the time may be cut down half a day.
and the distance coveted in 81 hours.
"On the northern mountain divis-
ions, preparations are being made for a
faster schedule. Reconstruction Is
progressing rapidly. Curves are being
reduced and grades done away with
wherever possible. Heavier rails are
being laid, and the company is now
receiving. shipments of an order for
20, 900 tons of S0-pound steel rails or
sufficient to lay 200 miles Of track.
The lighter rails which the new ones
will replace are still in good condi-
tion and will be laid on the small
branch roads of the system.
Zone step in the work Of shortening
time on tho northern route has just
been accomplished. Arrangements
are about completed for the introduo-
tion OF oil as fuel on the entire Cali
fornia system, and the great oil tank
on the northern divisions are ready
for use. The operating department
has been engaged in effecting the
abolition OF coal for some time. II
has involved the erection Of d large
number of storage tanks at different
points
This morning 1t was stated in tn,
Office Of the operating department that
as soon as the few requisite changes
are made in the coal burning engines
the recently constructed oil tanks on
the company's Northern California
lines, which aro being stored with
liquid fuel, will supply the engines
on tho Northern divisions.
The great tank at Ashland, Or
capable Of holding $1,000 barrels oi
oil, has just been completed, and
those at Hornbrook and Edgewood,
with capacities of 10, 900 barrels each,
are practically ready for use. Az

HIGHER THAN SIX FEET
Experts Report on Heppner
Flood IL Not Accepte Bile.

Persons who have been to Heppnei
and have taken some pains to examine
the evidence Of the disastrous food
will not be much impressed by the
report of Irrigation Expert John I.
Whistler, in which he informs the
department at Washington that the
flood wave was probably not more
than six feet in height outside Of
creek banks nor more than five feet
where houses stood.
Those who have studied the course
of the devastating flood in the stricken
town will hardly feel convinced thai
six-foot wave could have wrought
the damage to property and whipped
out lives of nearly 800 humans in the
time in which the terrible tragedy
was enacted at Heppner.
If the wave, as the expert believes
rose to only six feet in height, it il
only fair to say that then the wides

DEPUTIES NOT ANNOUNCED
And Warden Baker Hos His
Eye on Southern OREGON.

That the violators Of the game laws
may be caught red-handed and off
their guard, the deputy game wardens
throughout the state will not be an
nounced by the new protector of Ore
gon's game, J. W. Baker, of Cottage
Grove, who assumed the office yester-
day.
~ have selected my deputies and
will announce the name of the Port
land representative before long" said
Mr.. Baker. "As to the men out in
the country, am going to try new
dodge ON the people who break the
laws If they don't know the deputy
wardens, or where they are situated,
they will not be so cautious, and can
the more easily be caught. 1 believe
that many offenders can be found in
this way, and every one to whom i
have mentioned it agree it is good
scheme.
"The law allows me only six depu-
ties, and they cannot receive more
than $3.50 year so you See we have
to plan how to make the most Of
what the law allows us. The rail
roads will not give transportation to
my deputies, so l will have to do all
Of the travelling myself. Some one
must be in Portland much Of tho time
to watch the markets but this will
not prevent the killing Of the birds
OF course if the birds are found in the
markets during the close season the
man who sells them can be punished
but the killing will go on just the
same. Therefore it will be necessary
to have some one out in the country
near Portland part Of the time.
"Since receiving my appointment
in April l have gone over that part Of
the state in which most of the viola
tions occur. The deputies have beer
selected and when the shooting of up
land birds begins in August we will
start out to capture the lawbreakerl
and bring them to justice. -
