About year and a half ago, the

dians belonging to the Shoshone or
Wind River reservation in the state
of Wyoming ceded' to the United
States a portion of their reservation.

States made known that all the unal-
iotted lands in the ceded portion of
this reservation would be opened to
settlement, on and after August is.
under the general provisions OF the
homestead, townsite, coal and mineral
land laws.
AS it was felt that people through
out the country would be interested
In the opening of these lands, and de-
sirous of knowing something about
their character, the secretary of the
interior was directed by the senate to
furnish such Information relating to
the geology and the natural resources
OF that region as might be in possess
sion of the geological survey.
This information is now available in
the form of report by y. II. Dar-
ton on the geology of the Owl Creek
mountains, with notes on the re-
sources of adjoining regions in the
ceded portions of Shoshone Indian
reservation.
This report. which is illustrated

NO TRACE OF LOST CHILD.
Parents Think Britain Child is Being
Held for Reward

Mystery. unsolvable and dishearten-
ing. still surrounds the disappearance
of Cecil Britain, the 4-year-old son of
r. L. Brittian, of Walla Walla.
Mr.. Britain has returned from the
mountains and the Walla Walla
Statesman gives his opinion of the
matter as follows:
R. L. Brattain, whose son Cecil, dis
appeared from the tollgate July Is,
arrived in Walla Walla from camp
last night to look after business mat
ters that demand his attention for a
few days. Mr. Brattain is almost worn
out through worry and the days he
spent tramping over the mountains
searching for some clue to his son.
For several days after the disappear
ance of his son, Mr. Britain remained
back in the mountains at the head OF
a searching party. many times not
returning to a little camp that had
been established near Spout Springs
until way after dark.
at has been a terrible experience
and Mrs. Britain and myself but I
cannot help but believe that Cecil 10
being held for a reward by some one
who picked him up soon after he
strayed away from tollgate," Mr..
Brittian said, this MOI ming. "I believe
after the excitement calms down a
llitte we will receive some word OF
his whereabouts. Parties are still
searching through the mountains and
the hunt will be continued all sum-
mer IL necessary. The mountains ad-
jacent to the tollgate will be thor
oughly searched in all directions In
an effort to find some clue that may
help US. 1t has been a weary search
Mrs. Brattain and myself thorough
ly appreciate the sympathy and as
sistance that has been extended to u!
by the people of Walla Walla ant
other towns in an effort to find ou
son. 1 feel that everything possible
has been done"

NEW BUILDING At
STATE COLLEGE
wOMAN'S BUILDING AT
COST OF S8e,S45.
Oregon Agricultural College to Be
Supplied With an Elegant Hall for
Girls-Win Accommodate 200 STU
dents and EQuips the College With
Much Needed Department-Only
21a Girls Attended Last Year.

The Corvallis Times says of the
woman's building to be erected at tho
Oregon Agricultural college this sea-
son:
The contract for the construction of
the woman's building has been let to
H. Shook of Salem, who built agri-
cultural hall.
The new building Is to be of Cas-
cade granite in the first of what is
called the basement story, and Pho
neer sandstone is to be the material
for the two upper stories.
The cost completed is to be s69,S45,
and the contractor has until July l,
1907, to complete the work. All the
bids were on basis of completing
the structure by September l, 1901
but the building committee insisted
on the earlier date in order that furn-
ishings and all other arrangements
could be fully completed by the open
ing of college year hence.
The building will be the most inn
posing as we'll as the most expensive
structure on the college campus. 1t
is to occupy the most beautiful emil
nence on which the Hogg house
stands. 1t will necessitate the re-
moval of the athletic field to some
so placed as to present a magnificent
prospect to those who view 1t from
anywhere in Corvallis, or from the c,
& E. railroad.
The plan has been so arranged that
the ground plan will be of the shape
of letter F, with the projections
westward. and with the stem running
north and south. The north and
south length is 1SS feet, of which 13S
feet has a width of As feet. About the
center is a boiler and steam heating
arrangement At the south end is an
l. 10S feet long by so feet wide.
The building will accommodate 200
girls, in addition to the dressmaking,
household science and probably the
music and drawing departments. The
architectural arrangement is such that
ultimately when requiremed, on L can
he added to the north end. the effect
of which will be to add rooms for 100
girls and heighten the architectural
effect of the structure.
The attendance of girls at the coll
lege last year was 21z; of boys 523
Formerly the attendance of boys and
girls was about equal. 1t is believed
that the lack of such accommodations
as the new building will afford is what
accounts for the unequal distribution
of the sexes attending the institution

"The pipe for the Main and Court
street drainage sewers should be here
within a week. and as soon as the bills
of lading are received excavation
work will he commenced" said ]. O..
Hoyt. of the Warren Construction
company, who has been here today.
Mr.. Hoyt is with the Warren COM
pany's Portland branch and has been
i'm the city for the purpose of arrang-
ing for the beginning OF work on their
contract here. Aside from Mr.. Hoyt,
two other Warren company engineers
are here and have been looking over
the blue prints and other plans for
the work.
Also, James Frainey the well
known Portland contractor and an
unsuccessful bidder for the work of
paving, has been here and 1t is said
may secure a sub-contract under the
Warren company for laying the sewer.
According to Mr.. Hoyt, the ma
chinery necessary for the work here
will be shipped so as to be on hand
by the time it is needed. The largest
thing FOR shipment is the paving plant
which is valued at 100000 and in
wolves a cost of several thousand dol
lars whenever moved. It will be sta
toned on some vacant lot close to the
paving section and will likely be plac-
ed near the depot grounds IL the va
cant ground there can be secured for
the purpose.
Aside from the paving plant a rock
crusher one or more rollers and a
grader will be shipped.
The first work to be done according
to Mr.. Hoyt. will be the laying of
the sewers and the construction of the
concrete curbs. After that has been
finished the streets will then be grad
ed and the pavement placed.
Unless the difficulty OF securing la
bor delays the work, Mr.. Hoyt de-
clares the work of paving will be car
ried through to completion as plan
ned. Quite a force of laborers viii
be needed for the laying of the sewers
and also on the work Of paving. Ir
view of the great amount of work al
this time of the year the company has
| felt some anxiety for fear men may
be scarce. However. the fact thai
| many laborers desire such work al
that to harvesting, will work in favor
of the company.

SPENT 1T FOR GRUB
But Judge GiIliland Stood Guard at
Chop House Door.


County Judge Gilliland is fast be-
coming initiated into the mysteries
of his office, and he has already
learned that some OF those who seek
the county's charity do not observe the
high standards of veracity that pre-
vail on upper Birch creek.
A few days ago a fellow from up
the county appeared before the judge
asking to be sent to the poor farm.
He was a printer of the "old school,
and evidently the rule of his life had
been to destroy" as much liquor as
his capacity and pocketbook would
permit of.
But in his talk to the county judge
the man declared earnestly that he
did not drink and never even went
about saloons. Consequently. when
he asked Mr.. Gilliland for a quarter
with which to purchase dinner, as he
had had nothing to eat for "a hours
the proposition seemed reasonable t.
the Judge and he produced the quar-
ter.
A few minutes later Judge Gillilanc
was passing down Court street ano
he noticed his friend describing
straight line towards the entrance o.
the Brewery saloon.
"Hi, there" yelled the Judge, "yo'
can't get anything to eat in there"
with sheepish look the fellow
came back and he was then escorted
to down town chop house by Judg
Gilliland. After getting his man In
side and shutting the door on him
Judge Gilliland is said to have pace
up and down the walk for sevcra
minutes in order to make sure agains
another breakaway.
