NEW MINING TOWN.
Borealis Falls Established at End of
Calapooia Road.

Brownsville-Borealis Falls is the
name OF new mining town which has
justssprng into existence on the Gala
pooia side of the Blue river mining dis.
trict, 40 miles southeast of Brownsville.
The camp consists at present of four
loghouses and boasts population of l3
souls, but this will be added to soon by
the addition of at lest ten more people.
The town is located practically in the
heart of the district, on the south bank
OF the Calapooia river, near the falls of
the Calapooia, and is an ideal site for a
modern mining town. The site is at
the end of the Calapooia river wagon
road, now building into the. district
from Brownsville, from which joint
roads will branch off to the MANY
mines OF the district. This road is
now under construction by Linn coun-
ty, and when finished will give access
to the district by direct route of con-
siderably less distance than any other.
Already the road is completed 2S miles
above Brownsville, and the county is
lending every effort to complete it this
year. A small portion of the road
passes through section of Lane coun-
ty, and this will be built by the citi-
zens OF Linn county and mineowners.

TO CONSIDER CANAL,
President Desires Congress to Decide
What Type Shall Be Built.


What Type Shall Be Built.
Washington, Aug. 1T it be true
as reported from Oyster bay, that the
president intends to call an extra ses.
sion of congress early in November, il
is not probable any attempt will be
made to force the prompt consideration
of railroad rate bill. That would be
out of the question; at least it would
be impossible to secure final action on
such bill within month.
The probabilities are, and observing
officials here believe, that the president
intends, at the early session, to have
congress take up and settle once for all
the question of whether the Panama
canal shall be built, as originally
planned, with locks, or shall be a sea-
level canal, as advocated by so many
prominent engineers. This is a ques-
tion that congress must decide, and the
sooner it is out of the way the better
the men in charge of the canal can
operate.
q The president has not taken the pub
lie into his confidence; he has not an
nounced what his object may be in
calling an extra session, but it is diff
cult to figure out how anything could
be gained on railway rate bill at a
session convening only three weeks in
advance of the regular session. 1t takes
that long for the house to organize.
elect a speaker, and for the speaker to
appoint committees, and the senate con-
sumes almost as much time in its or
ganization.

Milling Wheat for Mexico.

San Francisco, Aug. 1.-The Kosmos
steamer Thehen, which sailed today for
the southern coast on her way to Eu-
rope, carried 1000 tons of milling
wheat for Guaymas, Mexico. For sew
eral months past the Mexican govern
ment has abolished the duty on wheat,
owing to the short crop in the Hermo-
sillo district and steamers sailing from
here have received consignments of
wheat sufficiently large to warrant
them in calling at Guaymas, far up the
Gulf of California. The duty will be
imposed again on August 81.

sumpter-Another cleanup from the
Belmont group, Greenhorn district, has
been placed on display here. It repre-
sented in value $3.50 and resulted from
five days operation of the small mill

the cleanup was made was taken from
the upper workings on the rich ledge
opened up some time ago and which
has made such wonderful output since
that time. A shaft is now being sunk
On this ore body, and the output is ex-
pected to be mucn larger when depth

SLUMP IN CHITTAM BARK.
Product Goes from 20 Gents Down
to Gents a Pound.

to 8 Gents a Pound.
Albany-This is an off year with the
chittam bark people. For the last two
years great amount of money has
been put in circulation through the
medium of this medicinal bark, hun
dreds OF people spending their outing
in the woods peeling the bark. The
price of the commodity scared up past
the 20-cent mark, and those who were
fortunate enough to secure valuable
belt of chittam timber netted q neat
income. Little boys who had never
earned dollar in their life lined their
pockets last year and the year before at
the rate of from So to 81 per day.
AS the result of the great increase in
price, many tons of the cascara, or
chittam, bark were gathered and sack
ed, only to lie in some warehouse un-
sold. This overproduction caused a
slump in the market, and this year the
bark is going for 8 to 81 cents per
pound.

GRAINMEN DIVIDED
ON CROP PROSPECTS
Some Say State Never Produced
Such Fields; Others Less
Optimistic.
HARVEST is NOW READY
While the Big Yields Will Be Scattered
and Some Poor Fields Found, the
Eastern Half of State Will
Produce Bumper Crop.

Mitchell, s. d., July 21.-There is a
ditions of South Dakota between eX-
p%erienced judges. Some men of an OPP
timistic turn of mine see the largest
crop per acre tina even grew, while the
pessimistic fellows only see half u
crop. You correspondent has taken
considerable pains the past week TO ar
rive at the facts about the crop in the
eastern half OF the state.
A.. II. Belts, n resident of Mitchell
who owns twelve grain elevators. says
that the wheat crop is very Uneven,
many pieces not making more than half
a crop and others producing nearly II
full one. He say his daily reports
show some fields badly Injured by the
long continued rains, and that the
macaroni wheat is blighting in man.
localities, but thai oats is n heavy crop
and barley a fair one, which is now
generally ready for the harvester.
A.. A. TruaX, who resides in this city
and owns twenty grain elevators in this
state and northwestern Iowa, says his
daily reports show only a fair crop Of
wheat and that the mncaroni wheat is
blighted and some barley is also in that
condition, and that blue stem and
Scotch fife wheat must have about ten
days yet to make Il crop On the whole
he thinks wheat and barley is only II
fair crop, while oats is first class.
Martin Gleason, a prominent farmer
ten miles north of Mitchell, reports
oats a very heavy crop, wheat only II
fair crop with 10 per cent. loss where
1t was drowned out with the heavy
rains.
J.. L. French, residing seven miles
south of Mitchell, who is Il successful
farmer, says the small grain crop is
only II fair one, except oats, which Is
heavy.
j.. w. Gilhllin, member of the county
board, who OWNS 200 acres eight miles
northwest of Mitchell near LOOMS,
says that he never saw better crops
In this state and that he regards small
grain above the average and hat corn
looks well, but is about days late
in growth.

WORK ON BIG CANAL.
Government Irrigation Project Is Being
Rushed to Completion.

Belle Fourche, S. D., July 19.-Work
is progressing steadily on the irrigating
ditch at this place. Steam will be used
for pumping water to the various
engines, and also to pump out the
Golfer dam, which will be constructed
by placing two rows Of sheet steel pill
ing the full length OF the permanent
dam, which will be about 400 feet in
length. A large forty horsepower boiler
will be utilized to furnish the steam.
The dam above mentioned will feed
the inlet canal, which will be six and
a half miles in length, forty feet across
the bottom, fifty-eight feet at the water
line. This inlet canal will carry the
flood waters to the main reservoir, to
be formed by a dam over 1000 feet in
length, 1875 feet in height, 500 feet wide
at the base and 100 feet wide at the
top. Above the dam the water will
be ninety feet in depth and extend
back something over ten miles, varying
in width from nothing to three miles.
There is on the ground a seventy ton,
self-propelling steam shovel, which has
been transported to the sixty foot cut
near the Giles ranch; also two large
elevator graders, propelled by power
full traction engines, and which are fol-
lowed by dozens of dump wagons which
receive the dirt from the graders in the
same that wagons used to
gather the wheat heads from the old
Haines Illinois headers. There are
thirty-s six two-horse slips, ten two
wheelers and ~thirty-six four-horse
buck" scrapers.
