VALUATION Big TASK
Physical Valuation of Railroads Will
Cost United States Many Mil
lion Dollars.

Washington, July 31.-Physical
valuation of the railroads of the
United States by the Interstate Com
merce Commission will take from
five to seven years by a specially or
ganized corps of men and will cost
the government from $1O,OOO,OOO to
$15,OOO,OOO or more, according to
plans of the commission presented to
the house appropriations committee.
The commission has asked for an i'm
mediate appropriation of $1,5OO,OOO
for the organization of the corps of
engineers necessary to undertake the
work.
Commissioners Clements and
Prouty and Secretary George B. Nc
Ginty of the commission have told
the house appropriations subcommit-
tee that a carefully worked out esti-
mate places the cost of the field work
at $1,921,50O a year throughout that
period.
The plan presented by McGinty
contemplates the division of the
country into five districts containing
approximately $4,000 miles of rail-
road each.
McGinty explained to the commit
tee that the estimated cost per year
OF the district organization with
their groups of field squads would
be about $SS4,3OO, or total for the
five districts of nearly $2,OO0,0OO.
In addition to this, he estimated
that the accounting feature of the
work would cost about $35O,O00 a
year and that the maintenance of a
valuation office in Washington would
cost probably $15O,O0O a ear.
Although the committee was
skeptical, McGinty was confident that
the commission would be able to get
the field force organized through the
Civil Service Commission by the first
of next year, to take care of the first
years work. 1t was for this pur-
pose, he said, that the commission
needed s1,5OO,OOO.
McGinty mentioned cases where 4
cost from $99 to SIS a mile to as
certain the value of railroads.
"In all of these cases, only the
reproduction value of the road wal
ascertained," he continued, where
as we are required to ascertain tn,
reproduction value, the depreciate,
value and in addition to work out tn,
history of the roads and ascertain
the amount of money invested il
their original construction. The cos
! to the government will probably eS
ceed $50 a mile or a total cost G
from $10,000,0O0 to $4,000, ,OO(
; but of course this is only a guess"

BLUE LEDGE SOLD.
Reports From Yreka Appear to Con-
firm Previous Rumors.

Yreka, Aug. 2.-That the deal for
the great Blue Ledge copper mines,
on the upper Applegate river, has
been practically consummated is
confirmed by private advices from
Blue Ledge camp. The coterie OF
Michigan peoplpe who have been ex-
amining the mines for several weeks
has decided to take them over. 1t is
stated that the first payment will be
made at an early date.
Under the ownership of Robert S.
Towne and associates of New York,
over two miles of underground de-
velopments have been accomplished,
and an enormous tonnage OF high
quality ore exposed. 1t is stated
that the gold and silver values dis
closed are nearly sufficient to defray
operating costs.
The great handicap under which
the Blue Ledge district has always
labored has been the absence of ade-
quate transportation facilities. To
remedy this, it is proposed to build
railroad from the field to Medford
or some other Oregon town, to en-
able the company to ship in supplies
and send out matter at nominal cost.
There are several other extensively
developed properties in the district
besides the Blue Ledge group, with
much Seattle, Portland and Spokane
capital interested. The building of
railroad means that practically all
these mines would be operated along
broad lines.

HAND BADLY BURNED.
Charles Logan Temporarily Disabled
by Gasoline Explosion.

Charles Logan, stepson of F. L.
Camps, bad narrow escape from
serious injury Saturday, at tho Ford
garage. The vulcanizer ran out of
gasoline and in attempting to refill
it some of the fluid struck the still
heated burners and flashed up, burn
ing his right hand severely. A fire
alarm was turned in because of the
blaze, but it was extinguished at
once and the department did not get
out. Mr.. Logan's injuries, while not
dangerous, are painful and such as
to compel him to lay off from work
temporarily. j. D. Raudebaugh is
assisting at the garage during his in
capacity.

FUNDS TO MOVE CROP
Secretary McAdOO Will Transfer
Many Millions South and West
to Move Crop.

Washington, July 31.-Twenty-
five to fifty million dollars of govern
ment funds will be deposited in the
national banks of the south and west
Immediately by Secretary McAdoo to
facilitate the crop movement.
Federal, state and municipal bonds
and prime commercial paper will be
accepted as security for money on
which the banks will pay per cent
interest.
This is the first time in history
that the government has accepted
prime mercantile paper as security.
This privilege is granted, McAdoo
announced, to make these special de-
posits available to banks on security
readily within reach.
1t was not announced what amounts
would be delegated to Oregon, if any,
but the Pacific states in general will
probably secure from five to ten mil
lion dollars. The main amount OF
government funds will be given to
the great corn and grain producing
states of the middle west where in
spite of recent unfavorable weather
there will be one of the largest crops
in recent years.
This new move by Secretary Nc,
Adoo has met with general commen,
dation on all sides and it is believed
to establish a precedent which will
eventually bring the government into
such close financial relations will
national banks that whether the cur
rency reform contemplated is brough
about at this session or not, the like
lihood of such panics as have visited
the United States in recent years will
be greatly lessened.

ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED.

In perusing the Chicago Tribune
this morning the following item OF
more than local interest was noticed
1t is as follows:
Suburban as we'll as city circles
have found interest in the announce
ment of the engagement of Miss Edna
Bliss, elder daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
Edgar Bliss, of 1411 East Fiftieth
street, to Horace Colby Ingram. Until
the last two years Mr.. and Mrs. Bliss
and their daughters lived in Riverside
where Miss Bliss was not only popu.
lar socially, but was known as an out.
door girl, fond of athletics. Mr.. In
gram who is the son of Mr.. and Mrs
John Carl Ingram, of 1919 Lake ave.
nue., is an architect. He graduated at
Harvard.
Mr.. Ingram is a brother of Mrs
James NJ. Judson who resides in the
National Road, West. The pretty home
of the Judsons was designed by Mr.
Ingram.
His bride-to-be visited in Richmond
last June with her sister, Miss Alice
Bliss. Many parties were given in
their honor. The girls were most at
tractive and made many friends dur
ing their sojourn here.
A most excellent likeness of Miss
Bliss appears in the Tribune with the
announcement.
