NEW POWDER WILL
BE DEMONSTRATED

Demonstrations to the orchardists of
the Hood River valley of Leonie,
new explosive, made from ordinary
Irish potatoes. will be made Friday of
this week. One of the demonstrations
will be made at 10 O'Clock Friday
morning at the ranch of Babson Bros.
IN the Upper Valley and the other on
the afternoon of the same day at three
O'Clock at the Oak Grove store.
The new explosive is said to be of
very great efficiency Its action is
slower than that of other powders, but
il is said to rend the stumps more
thoroughly than other explosives. A
feature of the powder is that it is said
to have no poisonous fumes that cause
headaches.

WATER RESOURCES
OF NORTHWEST

The Geological Survey has recently
issued a valuable publication. concern
ing the surface water resources Of the
northwestern portion Of the United
States, the greater part Of which Is oe-
cupied by the basin of the Columbia
river. The river has q drainage area
Of 259, 600 square miles. Its source is
in British Columbia and ts basin occu-
pies enormous areas in that Province
and in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho.
Washington, Oregon and Nevada. The
region is one Of great interest and
value. Few river basins 10 the cOun-
try are so diverse. 1t contains some
Of the highest peaks in America and
some Of the most fertile valleys in the
world Some idea Of the resources Of
the basin may be had from the state
ment that the navigable waters of the
Columbia ard its tributaries aggregate
length Of 2 1856 miles. Within the
area drained are the largest forests in
the world. The climate exhibits all the
variations from the riRor of the north
ern lati i,ude to the mildness of western
Oregon and Washington. Agrlcultur-
ally the area ranges from the extreme
ly arid region. where irrigation is es-
sential, through the semi arid country.
where dry farming and irrigation are
practieed side by side, to the humid
country. which, strictly speaking IS
arid during the summer. The values
of the irrigated and agricultural land
range from about $50 an acre for the
poorest TO $1,000 an acre for the in
tensively cultivated orchards. Within
the Columbia river drainage basin area
at least one-third of the available
water powers in the United States,
but development of this resource has
scarcely begun.
. The study Of the water resources Of
this region as carried on by the United
States Geological Survey becomes,
a matter Of Importance and
interest. Waters Supply Paper 272, Of
the Survey. which has just been issued,
a large amount Of useful data
resulting from the investigations of
the streams of this area, including the
records of flow Of the numerous large
as we'll as the main rivers.
Among these tributaries are Clark
Fork, which occupies large areas in
Idaho. Montana. and British Columbia,
and Snake river, which has its origin
in THE Yellowstone Park region of
traverses the southern por-
ton of Idaho. and on its way drains
large areas in Nevada. For a part of
its course the Snake forms the boun-
1ary between Idaho and Oregon, and
it traverses long distances in the state
of Oregon before it finally joins the
parent stream. In addition to stream
How data concerning the Columbia, the
report contains information concerning
The water resources of the coastal
streams, such as the Rogue, Umpqua,
and Siletz, located in Oregon, and the
Cedar, Skagit and Cascade, which
train into Puget Sound. The stream
low observations presented in this re-
)ort consist of records obtained at 207
stations. About one half of the ex-
,ense of the work is borne by the
tates of Oregon, Washington, Idaho
md Montana, which, under the author
ty of laws enacted by the several leg
slatures, cooperate with the United
'tates Geological Survey in carrying
n the work.

THE WATER FILTERS

II should be gratifying to the cit-
zens of the Heights to know that they
will have pure water during the com,
ing summer The filter system to pur-
ify the water supply should have been
installed before this date. The sys-
TEN, which is composed of battery Of
three filters, each of $4,000 gallons
capacity, will cost in the reighborhood
of $1,000, However, this expense
should not be considered heavy. First
and foremost the city government
should consider the health of its citi-
zens.
by the installation Of the filter sys-
TEN, the city water department will
make saving of $75 per month on
operating expenses. BY the use of the
filters it will no longer be necessary
to maintain the pumping plant, which
supplied the upper system from the
lower plant.

OREGON TO EXHIBIT
AT MINNEAPOLIS

Oregon will show from l50, 600 to
200, 600 people big display of her
products at the Northwestern Products
Exposition to be held in Minneapolis
November IL to %.
Governor West has received word
from the officers OF the Northwest De-
veopment League that the Civic and
Commerce Association of Minneapolis
has agreed to a deal whereby this
state will be furnished exhibit space
for its official display without cost at
the Products Exposition. The busi-
ness interests of Minneapolis are also
erecting a great exposition building as
a home for this exhibition of north
west products. The show will be given
under the auspices of the league as the
land show was in st. Paul last year
and it will be the only exhibition of
the kind furnishing space for the
official state exhibits free.
At a cost of SIS, 000 the business in
terests of Minneapolis and st. Paul
have bought from the league the space
necessary for the states and each of
the seven will have a booth built for
their exhibits fifty feet long and ten
feet wide with a backwall twelve by
fifty feet.
The governor has been asked to con-
fer with officers of the league in this
state and secure the interest of those
who are capable of collecting and iu-
stalliug an exhibit which will be q
credit to the state The governor will
probably appoint a commission to as
sist state officers in the work. Under
this plan no county nor community will
have an advantage over others in the
state. Any city. county or reputable
land company desiring to make an in
dependent exhibit will be able to secure
a limited amount of space adjoining the
state exhibit on reasonable terms.
The seven states which are to be
thus represented are Minnesota, North
Dakota, South Dakota. Montana, Ida.

one day that he had discovered an end

occurred while David was a resident of
Tennessee. He was one day on his
way TO neighboring distillery to at
tend political meeting when he saw
a grey squirrel emerge from knot hole

the squirrel reached the earth, it dis
appeared in root. However, immed-

down the tree. Crockett philosophical

tree was hollow, and that it was so
crowded with the little animals that
every time a squirrel entered the hole
at the root another was forced out at
the top.

their way along the left field foul line.
Howard hit mighty well. too, and was
regarded around the circuit as a sure

As was to be expected, Shanks slumped
in batting, but he was robbed of more
line drives by sensational catches than
any ball player on the club. and was hit
IN the head a couple Of times, but he
always walked up to the plate with that
old confidence. and no pitcher in the

he will finish the year in the 800 class.

Owner Farrell Of Highlanders An
nounces His Plans Before
Leaving Chacago.
HIGHEST PRICED MANAGER

Chicago, Dec. 12-Frank Farrell, owner
OF the New York Highlanders, to-day
announced before leaving Chicago that
he intended to pay Frank Chance the
biggest salary ever given a baseball man
ager.
He did not mention the amount, but 1t
is a cinch the 'P. L" will draw the
$4,000 that he is said to demand. The
original Informal offer to Chance was
$4,000 and per cent share of the club
earnings. This would, undoubtedly, ex-
ceed the $4,000. But it may be that
Chance prefers a straight salary. He is
likely to get whatever he asks, because
Mr.. Farrell and the rest OF the Ameri-
can League club owners are Overjoyed
at landing him.
President Farrelrs departure left only
one oUt-of-tOwn magnate in Chicago. This
was Jim McAleer. and he promised to
leave US before the end Of another day.
The Cleveland representatives found
fault with Mr.. Callahan, alleging that
he started the story about trading Joe
Jackson, thus giving Joe a chance to
hold out for more coin. Jim denied that
he had been the author of that novel
and added that he would not give any
three of his ball players for Joe.
Il might trade one man for him. said
Cal, but I wouldn't give three. Jackson
