FINE BUILDING STONE.
That On Orcas Island Is Among the
Resi-.


Seattle, Scot. 12.-"The San Juan
islands possess some of the finest build
ing stone in Washington, said Prof
Henry Landes, head of the department
of geology at the state university, on
his return this week from Orcas island,
where he has spent the last month in
the study of the land formations OH the
islands of the San Juan group, the
same being part of the geological
survey of the state, which is being
made under the direction of Prof
Landes, who is also state geologist.
Forest fires have materially imped-
ed the work on the islands," said Prof.
Landes, in continuing. Most of the
operations of my party have been con-
Quoted on Orcas island, out forest fires
have swept large tracts and rendered
an investigation of the surface strata
impossible in many parts of the island,
but forest fires have swept large tracts
and rendered an investigation of the
strata impossible in many parts of the
island. Along the north coast of Orcas
and the smaller islands of the group to
the north, we found some of the finest
specimens of limestone yet discovered
in the entire section covered by the ge
illogical survey of the state.
For purposes of street paving and
many building purposes, this limestone
found on the islands is preferable to
granite, and is one of thebest sub
stances available for such purposes.
Our field work for the year has not
been completed yet, and until | have
finished the work mapped out on the
San Juan group it will be impossi BILE
for me to state just what the geolog-
ical resources of that section present.
Prof Landes states that the forma-
ton of the land on the islands strongly
suggests the presence of coal deposits
there. The great value of the San
Juan limestone as paving material,
in Prof. Landes' opinion, is the fact
that it is not so slippery as other ma
terials during rainy weather, and ow-
ing to that fact would be much better
for traffic in the winter season, when
so much inconvenience is caused by
tipping ON smooth pavements.

TOWN SOLD FOR $4,000.
Eastern Oregon Boom Town Deliv.
cred to- Judgment Creditor.

cred to Judgment Creditor.
Sumper, Or, Sept. 12.-With the
sale of the entire townsite of Lawton
and all improvements therein to sat
isfy a Judgment of $4,000 held by Linn
Sturgis, there passes from histroy and
from the map a place that for time
broke boom records.
Five years ago Lawton was supposed
to be in the heart of rich mining
country, sprang into existence and for
IA time no town in Eestern Oregon at.
tracted so much attention. In its
palmy days many attractive and i'm
posing buildings were cree ted, includ-
ing brick and stone structures, and all
was prosperous. A newspaper flourish
ed and the camp was a real mining
town.
When the bottom dropped out and
the mines were abandoned the disgust
ed investors forsook their buildings,
as there was no sale for them and for
the last year there have been but three
families resident in this vertically de-
serted city. With its foreclosure comes
an end to even this occupancy, except
on the charity of its owner.
The buildings are so far from any
other place that it would not pay to
move them, so they bid fair to pass
into sucn desolation as has marked
many of the early California towns.

In accordance with these plans, the

Collector Stratton shortly after he en-

The two gentlemen were closeted for

Consul General Uyeno made the de-

The reply that Collector StrattOn
made to this demand wasi n effect that
