SLIDE DAMS CREEK.
Mass of Soft Earth Holds Back I'm
mense Quantity of Water.

Sacramento, Cal, May s.-A special
from Woodland to the Sacramento
Union says:
The threat of flood in the Capay val
ley, resulting from the slide of earth
that has fallen from the mountain side
and damned the waters Of Cache creek,
is growing increasingly serious. 1t may
be assumed that the slide in question
was in some way the result of the re-
cent earthquake, and it is now found
to be 1000 feet wide and to close COM
pletely the water course. Ever since
the occurrence the waters have been
steadily piling up behind it, and was
found by measurements taken this
morning that a depth of one hundred
feet had been reached.
If it had been taken at an earlier
stage the dam might have been blown
up with dynamite and the waters re-
leased without danger to any locality,
but it is now too late to do this, as it
would but precipitate the flood that is
feared. The dam is of soft earth and
debris, and there is some hope that it
may absorb the water or cut out grad
ually and the water pass in harmless
quantities. Should it give way to the
pressure the results will be very serious
and a large area of country will be
flooded

Bigger Demand for Oregon Sugar.

La Grande-One of the immediate eff
fects of the San Francisco disaster on
La Grande is an increased demand for
the product of the local sugar factory.
During the past week the factory has
sent out seventeen carloads Of sugar to
points that have heretofore depended
largely on San Francisco for their sup
ply. While the factory has been supply
ing places eastward as far as Boise and
shipping westward to Pendleton and
Walla Walla, no such extensive ship
ments have before been made at this
time Of the year.

pie were injured by head-on collision
of cars on the TrentonNew Brunswick
Traction Company's lines at Plainsboro,
twenty miles outside of this city, at
midnight. The cars, one from this city
and the other from New Brunswick,

trolley car showed the approach of the
other. Before the power could be re-
versed the cars met, and the passengers
were thrown from the chairs.

Wells Are Spouting Water.

Arlington-Wells bored for oil pros
poets two years ago, in which water
came to the surface level, have become
active artesian gushers since the hour
Of the destructive earthquake in Cali
fornia. These wells are located at Ca;-
ley, Wash, a few miles northeast Of
Arlington, and had been sunk by pros
pectors in the hope of securing a flow
of crude petroleum. Results were not
up to the anticipations Of those who
planned the exploitation, and the en-
terprise was abandoned. Water from
the principal well is being thrown ten
feet into the air, and the flow has been
and even in volume since
the earthquake in San Francisco.

Plan Union High Schools.

Albany-To secure high school facil-
tiles in rural communities, different
school districts in Linn county are
planning union high schools at central
points. In Jordan Valley FIVE districts
will join next fall, and besides main
tanning separate schools of eight grades
will establish one high school for all
pupils who have completed eighth-grade
work. Under present conditions rural
districts must send children to one Of
the larger towns for high school train
ing. If the experiment at Jordan Val
ley proves successful, the plan will be
followed in other parts of the county.

cite Endowment Association of William.
cite University, to be maintained as a
trust fund to aid needy and worthy Or
phans, or lf-orphans who wish to at.
tend the university. Each individual
will be allowed 800, and as the in
come is about $500, this will provide
for three students annually. The fund

Substitute Fills for Bridges.

Albany-Fills are taking the place of
bridges in Linn county wherever the
change is practicable. In great many
places this change has been made. In
two instances fills $50 feet long were
made. Bridges are short-lived in this
climate, and a constant source of ex-
pense to the county. Permanent fills
cost but little more than a new bridge,
which will stand but few seasons.
The county court has ordered road su'
pervisors to supplant all wornout
bridges with fills where material is
available. In all cases where there
are long approaches to bridges, stand
ing only short distance above the
ground, fills are ordered.

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
NEW LAND SEEDED
Acreage North and South Of Bend Com
ing Under Cultivation.

Bend-Much new land is being cul-
tivated near Bend. North lies what is
known as the Powell Buttes district,
one of the best agricultural sections in
the Deschutes valley, extending from
the eastern extremity Of the buttes to
the old channel of the river, eight miles.
1t is one immense plowed field, broken
in only a few places. This area is be-
ing increased rapidly, and in short
time all tillable land in the district
will be producing Three years ago
there were only couple Of houses be-
tween Bend and Prineville. Fences and
other signs of habitation were equally
scarce.
Another district rapidly developing is
that under the Arnold ditch, FIVE to six
miles south of Bend. Settlers here are
putting up substantial houses that would
be credit to any city; they are not
small shacks as so many dwelling houses
are in new country, but in many in
stances are two stories and well paint
ed. Much new land is being seeded in
this district. Fences are being built,
new permanent roads made to run on
section lines. Less than two years ago
one could go south from Bend fifty to
sixty miles, and in that distance find
scarcely house; now, within seven
miles of Bend, along what is known as
the Ice Cave road, there are thirty
houses, with much land in crops each

Chicago, May T." Within two weeks
10000 workmen in all branches of the
building industry in Chicago will be
thrown out of work by suspension of
construction work on skyscrapers and
factories affected by the strike of struc-
tural ironworkers. 1t may not develop
into a lockout, but there will necessarily
be shutdown if the strike contin-

Compels Another Survey.

Drain-The recent calamity in San
Francisco has made necessary resur-
vey of the first twenty-five miles of
the proposed Drain-Coos Bay Railroad,
beginning at this place. The maps and
profiles of the final survey were de-
stroyed in the conhagration. The engi-
neer, F. D. Brown, was ordered back
from North Bend on Coos Bay, which
point he had almost reached, and will
begin at once the resurvey. Mr.. Brown
brought his entire crew with him, and
thinks it will only require from two to
four weeks to complete the work.

Hops Have Healthy Look.

Eugene-Kola Neis,. the hop dealer, is
here examining the crop conditions, and
finds that the prospects are good for the
usual Oregon crop. The vines are start
ing better this year than last, and there
will likely be less missing hills. The
acreage in Lane county will be fully
as large as last year, and the yards are
being carefully cultivated, so that it is
safe to count on an average crop unless
it should be damaged late in the sea-
son.

SMITH KILLED
NEAR new ERA
Taken Unawares While Walking On
Railroad Track.
Cap He Had Stolen at Candy Proved
His Undoing Fugitive Had Dou-
bled on His Track and Was Head
ing Toward Portland When Shot
by Posse.

New Era, Ore, May frank Smith
is dead. The desperate was shot and
killed at 11:l0 o'clock by Harry Drap-
or, who was in charge of the blood
kane to help in hunting the fugitive
down.
After being surrounded in the woods
between the Willamette river and the
railroad tracks at this place this morn
ing, posses began dynamiting the un-
derbrush to bring him out. Draper, ac-
companied by the dogs, went into the
timber and Smith was discovered be-
hind log He made desperate at
tempt to shoot, but Draper anticipated
him, shooting him through the neck
and killing him instantly.
Smith bore no wounds, showing con-
clusively that he had not been wound
ed by any of the previous shots fred at
him.
Crouching in the underbrush between
the railroad tracks and the Willamette
river, about half mile from this place,
surrounded by posses of armed men
who were dynamiting the woods to drive
the fugitive out, Frank Smith, the des-
perado, who made sensational escape
from the city Jail at Portland, and since
his flight last week has killed three Off
GERS, made his last stand.
After numbering Policeman Hanlon
at Oregon City, Smith was next located
near Woodburn by Sheriff Shaver of
Clackamas and Captain o. d. Hender-
son of WOODBURY., whom he mortally
wounded, both dying at Salem few
hours later.
The bandit then disappeared as COM
pletely as if the earth had opened up
and enfolded him. Many rumors were
prevalent of the murderer being seen
during the last few days in various
parts of the district where he was be-
ing hunted, but nothing definite could
be found until this morning, when,
weary and worn with his long flight,
he was driven into the brush.
The gray cap, slightly torn in one
seam, which was stolen from the Candy
postoffice, and which Smith were, proved
his undoing The stolen cap belonged
to Willie Stuniger, who lives near New
Era
Willie was pumping water for the
cows this morning when he saw a man
pass along the road wearing his own
cap. Willie recognized the cap at once
and gave the alarm.
This positive Identification brought
out the posses in force, and 200 armed
men with dogs were presently hunting
lown the fugitive.
Smith stopped to talk to Flagman
Archibald on the Southern Pacific
racks. While they were in conversa-
ion one of the numerous armed parties
hat has been securing the country ap-
,eared down the road
"Well, l must take to the woods,'
aid Smith. With that he dashed into
he brush.
He was surrounded between the rail-
way tracks and the Willamette river,
alf a mile below New Era.

Seizing Stolen Supplies.

San Francisco, May THE police
and military authorities are slowly but
surely ferreting out the people who
have abused the free supplies privilege.
The detectives engaged in the work are
proceeding cautiously, so that no seiz-
ures will be made unless the officers
are certain that no injury to deserv-
ing persons will be inflicted. When it
is established that supplies have been
secured by subterfuge, the goods are
seized and turned over to the nearest
station. The authorities are being as
sisted by numerous anonymous letters,
telling of the unlawful boarding of
stores.
