NEWS FORECAST

WASHINGTON. D. c. April 10
There promises to be little news OF
general importance emanating from
the national capital during the week,
aside from that furnished by the slow
grinding Of the Payne tariff bill
through the congressional mill.
President Taft. so far as has been an
nouneed, has made no public engage
ments for the week. In fact, he is
expected to continue busy with the
routine Of his Office until near the end
OF April. when he will go to Philadel-
phia TO speak at a Grant birthday
banquet in that city.
Some important court proceedings
viii occupy attention in various parts
OF the country. John A. Benson OF
San Francisco, who was acquitted
last year on charge Of conspiracy
in the famous land fraud case, will
have to face another jury in the Dis
trict of Columbia. Benson is charged
with the bribery Of two clerks in the
general land Office in 1904 for the
purpose Of securing the approval of
various school land selections in Ore
gon and California.

SCORE OR MORE VIEW
THE ADAIR DRAIN
SOME OF THE DIFFICULTIES
OF MATTER ARE PRE-
SENTED.

Including Mayor Smith, City Engi-
neer Tee, City Attorney Abercrombie,
Councilmen Leinenweber, Fox and
Wilson, and several other city offic-
ials, party numbering over score
made a personal investigation OF the
Adair drain yesterday afternoon,
Many Of the citizens of that district
whose places are affected by the
sliding ground joined in the trip over
the grounds and pointed out the de.
tails Of the matter to the officials
The main object Of the trip was to
aequaint those with the matter who
knew little OF it, and the city officials
Who were there will be better enabled
to vote intelligently when It arises
for settlement,
II is not an easy matter to get at \
good understanding of the needs Of
the situation, for the very apparent
reason that nearly every witness is
consciously or uneonsciously biased
hy his personal desires. Given the
part OF the district in which man
Ewes, and his views may be guessed.
However, that is not true Of all the
men, Of course, though there is no
question that many of the residents
there view the situation through their
own spectacles. No matter what plan
Is ultimately formulated BY the coun.
cil for the draining Of the district il is
probable there viii be some who will
remain dissatisfied, and yet there is
no inherent reason why a plan can
not be easily formed that viii accom-
plish the desired results and which
win be fair to all, and of which the
cost will be very fairly apportioned
among all those. in a pretty wide dis
trict, who viii be affected. But the
duration of the squabbles and bicker.
ing over the drain has been extended
over so many years, that If may not
be improbable that some of the resi-
dents there give too much emphasis
TO their own desires and to unimport-
ant details Once question has be-
come personal one, matter for fac
tons to fight over, and once it gets
INTO politics, as this matter has more
than once, then there naturally is diff
6cuity in formulating plan that viii
please either side.
It would seem that in the early
years there was a stream, little
rivulet. that ran across the ground in
a northwesterly direction, and it is
said that in those early years this
stream successfully carried off the
water. As the district was built up,
houses were constructed in the natur-
al meandering bed of the stream and
m many places it has been filed up
and the stream divided or diverted.
Everybody fought the water off from
bis own land as common enemy.
Had the question been settled in those
davs as to the character OF the
stream. whether it was well defined
and real stream, or merely drainag.
of surface water, the matter might
be simpler one now to legally settle.
Anybody can fight surface waters of
from his land. as he would fight FIRE,
but well defined and real stream
may not be diverted to the detriment

food them and thus distribute the
water. Some seem to think that the
water will have to be kept off of the
gardens IL trouble is to be prevented,
but an odd part of the matter rs that
the owners Of the gardens insist on
the water crossing their place and
threaten to fight legally il steps are
taken to divert il from them.
II the council can agree upon a
plan this spring. and the new system
be put in during the summer. it will
mean a great saving to the whole
district next winter.
Probably there is no other part Of
Astoria that naturally excels this as
residence district. The view OF the
river is magnificent. while the ground
falls away to the river in long easy
slope.

RECORD HEAPS OF JUNK
Monumental Piles Reared from the
Refuse of the San Fran
cisco Fire.

The largest scrap heaps the world has
ever known, relics of the great conflagra-
tion Of April, 1905, are located in san Fran
cisco. One scrap heap is forty feet high,
100 feet square and contains 10000 tons, all
cut in equal lengths Of eighteen inches, and
piled in one solid mass, with the sides as
smooth and solid as a brick wall. This Is
the only one OF four, OF equal size and pro-
portions, remaining intact, in It's original
size and shape, the other three having been
drawn upon as the material was needed.
Many other scrap heaps are piled about the
bay awaiting shipment, some as big as a
house and others mere hillocks, scattered
over acres OF ground.
Since the fire, one company has handled
10000 tons, which constitutes the major
part Il all old material shipped or melted

rounding the scrap yard.

cluded in the club, which calls itself the
Cycle Campers club and directs its MEM
bers where to go for the best spots to
camp, provides them with a kit for a
moderate sum and altogether s~ystematizes
cycle camping.
Men cycle campers have been able to
reduce the weight OF their kit TO a modest
six pounds, but women carry more, as a
rule. The kit provided and sold by the
club contains a tent, a ground sheet of
rubberproofed lawn to keep out the damp,
a ground blanket of a wooden material, a
sleeping bag of a close woven stuff, an
elder down pillow, a wind screen to prevent
a breeze when cooking, a stove, an alum
mum cuisine" containing three saucepans,
a mug and plate, also of aluminium; a
condiment box, a waterproof lawn food bag
and a canvas bucket and basin. All this
sounds like a lot, but it takes up very little
space and interferes little with the c~ycler's
speed.
II is not customary to spend more than
three or four days in one spot, no matter
how amiable the farmer and his wife may
be, and most campers stay only one night.
Year by year this way OF spending vRca-
lions has increased in popularity in England
and ii means that lodging house keepers In
small resorts who have looked upon sum-
mer as their time Of profit are losing their
annual means OF income.
Towns in England are close together and
roads are very fine, so no great fatigue fol-
lows a days journey. Then to sleep in the
open air, to feel the fresh air in ones face,
to see the moon looking in through the
door of the tent and to experience the alb
solute peace of the country, all this is bet
ter than to be in stuffy seaside or hillside
lodgings-English lodgings are undeniably
stuffy-and it is a good thing for the Eng
lishman and the Englishwoman that they
have found it out.
Brooks and streams succeed the tub of
the lodging house. Fresh eggs, rich milk,
vegetables right from the gardens, chick
ems, ducks, geese, fish and fruit form bet
ter menus for warm weather han the lodg-
ing house keepers inevitable roast meat
with boiled buildings or soggy pastry.
The general opinion is that camping has
come to stay IN England and that cyclists
and c~aravaners are going to continue to in
crease In number all over the country. Said
a camper Of three years experience:
There are no disadvantages to a camp
ing holiday. You carry your own house
you choose your own pitch and If your
heart should fall you-a thing which never
happens to the camper-there Is always q
