JUMPING ATACHANCE
Boomers Take Possession of Lots
in Spokane's Shantytown.


SPOKANE. Nov. M-when the city awoke
this morning il vas confronted by an ex-
traofcinary spectacle. During the night
20 boomer had rushed in and located
iols On tract known as shantytown.
owned by the Northern Pacific road and
situated in the heart Of the city. bordering
right upon the business district. This
large tract was long in dispute. Several
years ago il vas jumped by squat
ters. but three years ago the In
terror department decided against
them and they were ousted. The recent
decisions by the secretary Of the interior
adverse to railroads respecting lieu land
selections, started Q rumor that this tract
had reverted to the government. and this
led to . stampede for lots. Daylight
brought renewed activity, and before Q
o'clock At least 100 men had staked out
lots Policemen caught the infection and
joined IN the work OF grabbing.
During the day Shantytown was the
scene OF great activity. Hundreds OF
shacks and cabins were being run up, and
hundreds of men stood guard over their
claims. Tonight bonfires dot the site.
1t Is not believed the jumpers have any
chance OF retaining possession.

little II any improvement in the condition
OF the stranded cigar-shaped raft. 1t has
changed position considerably since first

together is puzziing to many, for it has
stood banging enough to break up the
firmest ship that floats. Saturday night
the raft drifted Off its berth on the south
spit, went out around the jetty and came
In on the north side of il, thus crossing
the channei. The tug Ranger had hold Of
the raft at the time. but il is claimed that
she could not manage it, the current being
30 strong that the hawser had to be cut to
save the lives Of those on board. When
the raft came IN against the jetty it
knocked out ffty bents of piling, and 10
now continually tearing it down. The
damage done to the jetty so far is esti-
mated at $1,000. Capt John Roberts to-
day said:
