 NEW YORK. Oct 21.-Tne Commer- cial Bulletin says: Exports of bread stuffs have not been altogether main. tained throughout October. though the aggregate will certainly be as large if not greater than last month But of cotton a much larger quantity than usual has been sent abroad thus far, though not quite so much as ex- ported in October of last year It may therefore be inferred that the excess of exports over imports of merchan- disc, which was large year ago, will be somewhat larger the present month, so further contributions of gold to American stores will be required from the treasuries of the old world.

DAYS OF ARGONAUTs.
Talk With . California Pioneer Now

n F. Salter and A. c. Carter, OF San Francisco,
E. NJ Darneal, OF Martinez, and w. Darneal, of
SnoQualmie, are at the SnOqualmie hotel. Mr.
Salter and Mr.. Carter are making a pleasure
trip through the state, while Mr. Darneal, of
Martinez, has come to visit his son, who is q
prominent merchant of Snoqualmie.
The elder Mr.. Darneal is one of the California
pioneers, having come to the Coast in ISL. For
years he was connected with mines in various
parts OF the state, but at present he is u mer-
chant at Martinez: II have seen California
made" said he yesterday; "seen the state grow
from scattered lot OF mining camps to rich
and powerful commonwealth.

when, il a man was not honest, we made him
honest would never be the least nervous
about leaving pan of gold dust worth 500 or
$1,000 standing out beside my cabin door at
night. No one would ever touch it-no one
would dare TO touch il; for If it were taken
away during the darkness there would be dead
man somewhere around before the next sunset.
"The miners were q very generous, OPEN

or who fell sick in a mining camp. was sure to
be well cared for. You might see sickness come
into destitute family, but the boys would all

Bile. for expense was no object.
81 would rather be fat broke in mining camp
today than in New York with $l0oo in nv

pendent mining is mostly done away with. The
gold is being gotten out by the companies which
can afford to put up the big hydraulic or stamp

ga TEXAS STEER"
HOyt's Great Comedy Success Billed
Here for This Week.


Here for This Week.
"a Texas Steer" Hoyts new comedy success,
which will be produced at the Seattle opera
house tomorrow night, is a rollicking good piece
of literary and stage work and achieved success,
not so much on account OF the business of the
people in the East as in the merits of the work
of the author. That it will have good run
here and that people will laugh over it there is
little doubt.
For some months there has been considerable
curiosity manifested to see Hoyts satirical
comedy. The good reports that reach here in
advance of its presentation from cities and
towns in which 1t had been played, heighten the
interest It is maintained that with "A Texas
Steer Mr.. Hoyt has made an attempt to cut
loose from the previous methods, and endeav-
ored to put together comedy which would
bear favorable comparison with the humor-
Gus and satirical work which for the past few
years have attracted the attention of Ameri-
can thea:er-goers. His aim was to make
his characters types of living realities and with
out crossing the boundary into the broad and
inviting field of exaggeration, to magnify and
emphasize judiciously the salient points and

LOST IN THE WOODS.
Two Boys Fail to Return From . Sun



Two boys, named B. Dishon and Alfred Thor
son. left their homes yesterday with horse and
cart to drive to Columbia, and up to II O'Clock
last night they had not returned The boys arr
about IA years of age. The first named is the
SON of Merit Dishon, the real estate dealer, and
falling to return at reasonable hour in the
evening, his folks became alarmed.
Three men went out on horseback
in search of them, Mr. Dishon being
sick and unable to go himself They found that
they had been seen at Columbia about O o'clock
in the evening. Following on, the searchers
found track, evidently the track of the cart,
not far from the pumping station OF the city
waterworks, but they could not follow it in the
darkness. They searched around through
the openings in tho woods for the
horse, but failed to find him. They
then returned home and not finding them on
their return, it was feared that the boys had
gone ont in a boat on the lake and upset or got
lost and could not find the place from which
they started But it seems that in that case the
horse would be found by the men looking for
them. 1t is more probable that the boys kept
driving along until they got lost and bewildered
go they could not find their way back in the
darkness, and viii no doubt turn up all right

It was the intention OF Thomas Cleary to open
the dry goods store OF the late Chester Cleary to-
day and continue business, but owing to some
statement made in the deceased's will it will be
impractical to do so. AT the time of Mr.. Clearys
death Captain Carr. the deceased's attorney, was
out of the city, and two letters which were
among the private effects of Mr.. Cleary were ad-

the litigants were represented by the same coun-

The plot of the play. ssThe Two Sisters is as
