s!orekeeper at Cal. Jet, came
near having a very serious &C.
ciaent last week. He held a
lighted match over the bung
hole of a iinseed oil barrel
which had been washed out
with gasoline and the resulting
explosion shook half of the
houses in the town. The head
of the barrel was blown out
with such a force that it shat
tered two one inch boards but
the boy was only burned by the
flames. Dr.. Heise was called

Washington is in excellent condition
for service II needed. Requests for
chances to serve have been pouring in
upon Governor Lister at a rapid rate

900 Acres Of Land.

From 12 to IS crews Of 10 men
each will be placed in the field as
soon as weather will permit, to sur
vey the 215,0OO acres of granted
land held by the Northern Pacific
railway in the Cascades, as the result
OF orders received this week by Sur
veyor General E. A. Fitz Henry, who
says that this new order places upon
his department the necessity of sur
veying upwards of 100000 acres of
land in this state and he estimates
that three years will pass by before
the work is completed.
The order from the department at
Washington, D. c., calling for the
survey Of the railroad lands, comes
as the result of the efforts of Govern
or Lister and the state tax commits
sion to have this land surveyed so 1t
can be placed on the states tax rolls.
Surveyor General Fits Henry believes
that considerable of the land is min
eral in nature and consequently will
be withheld from the railroad grant.
