MIKES WITH ROTARY.
Chief Engineer Of Hartman Lines
Falls Into Snow Plow.

PORTLAND, Feb. 9.-Caught be-
meath a rotary snowplow and dragged
for short distance with the "fianger''
crushing the lover portion OF his left
leg, to be finally rolled almost into a
ball and emerge with his shoulders
beneath the rear trucks, George W
Boschke, chief engineer of the Harri-
man affiliated lines, had a narrow es-
cape from a horrible death near One
onta yesterday afternoon.
The presence Of mind of Conductor
Mahaffey and the watchfulness Of the
engineer of the second locomotive
used in pushing the plow are credited
with saving Mr.. Boschke's life. Fronr
the statement of witnesses, 1t
appears that Mr.. Boschke was stand
Ing alongside the track as the plow
came ahead at a rapid clip to gather
momentum for plunge into a soft
snowbank, and wishing to be in the
cab, Mr.. Boschke reached for the han.
die in effort to get aboard. His gloves
wer wet and slippery and about the
time he graced himself for the spring,
the crust of the snow, which was three
feet deep, gave way, throwing him be-
meath the plow
The "fanger" was up at the timo,
and that fact prevented fatality. The
momentum Of the plow carried MI.
Boschke for short distance and then
forced his body past the "fanger" ana
his shoulder brought up against the
brakebeam of the rear trucks. Con.
dutor Mahaffey caught Mr.. Boschke
by the shoulders as he was thrown
against the beam,i but by that time
the plow stopped, as the rear engi-
neer had reversed his locomotive and
his action was responsible for the
other following suit.
The overcoat worn by Mr.. Boschke
was torn to shreds, but a cigar he
held in his mouth when he went un-
der was not disturbed.
He is attending to his duties today
somewhat sore from the trying eS
perience, but with a better knowledge
of snowplows.

THE BONDING HABIT.

For the past forty days there ha:
been a vast deal of realty bonding IL
and about Astoria, notably in bay
frontages and closely contiguous
property thereto. This is deemed TO be
a good sign of genuine activity in
the real estate market. We doubt II
II is. In the first place bonding is but
a preliminary, and often fictitious step
in realty negotiations. and has ten
dency 10 shrink the market for the
real investor and force the values of
property beyond legitimate limits. 1t
is to be remembered that all buyers
are not suckers, and the trained spec
ulator in land and land-values is apt
to turn on his heel and seek invest
ment at first hand, rather than meet
what he knows to be extortion.
If bonding for sale must be primar-
lily INDUCED, it is up to the owner to
put his property in the dealers hand
upon bonds of stiff figure, and very
short tenure; else, by the time the real
investor arrives, what he shall want to
buy is, practically, off the market for
him, unless he meets the speculative
advances of the man who holds the
right of sale first removed from the
owner.
The process of bonding is legitimate
enough, but is easily overdone, and
readily depresses an otherwise free
and open market; and, as we said be-
fore, the only safe rule to pursue, is
to bond for the briefest possible sea-
son, and at figure that somewhat
approximates real investment. The
mere shifting Of the initial negotiation
from the owner to the bondee, with
the certainty of the sharp interme-
diate rise in values, does not commend
any real estate market to the bona
fide buyer from abroad, and he is the
man ,and his the money, We want.

MERGE, NOT sUBMERGE.

What this city wants, above all
things, is an accepted plane upon
which can be arranged a strong merg-
er of local interests; a consensus of
thought, purpose, action and means
that shall have the advance of AS
toria's commercial interests strictly in
view; everybody for everybody, rather
than every man for himself; some
spurring incentive to compel recog-
milton Of the fact that there are pub
lie interests to be served as we'll as
private ones; that we can never forge
ahead as a community, by pulling a
thousand strings in as many different
directions; diverse energies are always
imperative as applied to single OBJ
ject One, wide, free, sensible course
must be laid out leading to a common
goal Of success, and the unified
strength of the community must be
set On that highway, and loyal, hon
est, strong pull made to the common
end of Astoria's progress and achieve
ment.
Thursdays meeting will be the time
and place to inaugurate just this ex-
preston and action, and every man
whose future is linked with Astoria's
must be on hand and take his place
in the van Of the new movement.

 Moss mine, on which he has a bond.
 Many years ago Capt. Dahlgren was the owner of the Moss mine and erect ed mill near Hardyville to work the ores from the property. Owing to failure of the watchman to keep up the annual work the property was lost to him, but he now seeks to again be- come it's owner. He has back of him a good company and should he take over the property will open it up in systematic manner. He leaves this evening for Los Angeles, where he will make the necessary arrangement for the taking over of the Moss mine.

c. w. Benedict, who is operating mining property owned by w. E.. Frost and Harry Mehaffy, has struck q fine body of ore in the shaft of one of the mines. The ore is extremely rich in lead and the body is said to be quite large. The veins are big and strong and outcrop on the surface for long distance. Mr. Benedict has been working small force of men on the mines with the best of results. The property is situated near Wallapai Springs, in the north part of Wallapai mountain, fifteen miles east of King man.

Ed Williams came up from his tung- sten mines last Saturday evening and departed to his home on the Big Sandy Tuesday morning. He brought in with him 35 sacks of tungsten concentrates which have been shipped to the Pre- mos Chemical company, in Philadel- phia, for which he receives 9$ per unit. The last shipment from the mine netted him COOS per ton delivered at Kingman, the largest price ever paid for the metal. He has concluded to go into the milling business and will remove the tremaine mill to the old Kimble property, near Rawhide, where it will be erected and the ore from that property run through it. He reports having opened up big body of ore in crosscut from the tun- nel of the mine that will average near ly 4O$ in gold. Drifting is being done on this ore body and stope will be opened at once to supply the mill. Enough ore is now on the dump to keep the mill in operation for some time.

Dr. J. P. Wallace returned last Tuesday evening from Loredo, Tex Is, where he was supervising a plantati )n the past winter. He says that nearly all the lands of that section of Texas, and extending into Mexico, have been devoted to the cultivation of bermuda onions. The crop, which has just been gathered, netted from COOS to ZOOS per Acre. Nowhere in the world are the bermudas grown to such perfection as in that country. Lands that a few years ago were almost worthless are now worth hundreds of dollars an acre. It is Dr. Walace's intention to remain in Mohave county for some time to come, looking after his mining interests and arranging for necessary work on the Burro group, near the mouth of Burro Creek. This property is we'll situated for economical work ing and only needs the construction of dam in the creek to give power sui ticient to generate all the power nec- essary to the working of the mine and operation of a large milling plant. The ore is composite, but there are hundreds of thousands of tons in sight that can be quarried out, which is absolutely free and will respond to cyanic treatment to high degree.

The line will supply the town of Vivian and the German-American mines with water, as well as supplying the con- pany's plant with the supply necessary for milling and domestic purposes. The line has also been strung for the transmission of power to the mine and mill, but owing to the slow arrival of material the work on the big power house at Needles has been very slow. It is thought that the plant will be put in commission about the first of October.

Kingman people, and in fact all the people of the country, are suffering from the excessive heat of the past week. From all over the coast comes the same complaint. In Los Angeles the Government thermometer showed l02 in the shade, while at Phenix Wednesday last it was IF, which is many degrees lower than the private thermometers on the street. At King man the highest range of the ther- mometer was 104. Owing to the ex- cessive dryness the trees around tie town are shedding their leaves and ex- hibiting all signs of being tortured by the burning glare of the sun. Rains are due soon, which will be welcomed.
