The party that recently went to the
Bohemia mines country to search for
the bodies of the two men who persisted
in that vicinity a few months since has
been unable to find them, and intend
returning, 1t is now the opinion that
the bodies will not be recovered before
the last OF June, as the snow still lies on
the ground from ten to twenty-five feet
in depth.
The Linn County National Bank,
through the receiver, II. Nj. Beall, has
brought an in junction suit against the
city of Albany to restrain the city gov
eminent from paying the city warrants
1t is alleged that the city has been pay
ing the policemen cash for city warrants
of recent issue, and that the old war
rants, some of which are held by the
bank, have not been paid. 1t will prob
ably be made test case.
During the past few days there has
been marked improvement IN the run
of salmon, and the average eaten per
boat is much above the average at TINS

The fishermen and others interested in
the canning business are not, however,
particular as to the cause OF the plentl-
! ful supply, and are happy in the knowl-
edge that all the boats are doing well.
Four of Hapgood's men the other day
caught exactly 1000 pounds of fish, or
an average of about twenty each, and
many other hauls equally large are re-
ported.
Considerable excitement has been
caused in the vicinity of Medford during
the past few days by the result of partial
cleanup OF the Miller placer mine, stu
ated about five miles west OF that city.
This mine was recently purchased by
Portland parties, and between $4,000
and $l3, 900 has been taken out as the
result OF the past winters run. A par
tial cleanup of the Sturgis mine, about
twelve miles from this city, which was
finished last week, produced $4,000 in
yellow metal for its owners. These mines
are considered two of the best placer
mines in Southern Oregon, and the re-
suit of the cleanup of both has been
watched with interest by mining men
all over the State. The Miller mine COM
prises 240 acres, all OF which is consid-
cred as good as that worked in the past,
only two acres of which has been touched
during the last eight wears. The mine
has been run with only one giant, and
the present company is making arrange
ments to put in two more giants, as there
is plenty OF water to run that number
during the winter season.

houses along the water front were rem

Much Comment Regarding the Attitude

TACOMA, WAsH.-There has been much
comment of late regarding the attitude
of School Superintendent James in Sc

ested believe Mr.. James is too fond Of
Young and inexperienced women teach
ers. The principals also have griev-
ance. They seem to think MIR. James
does not consult them sufficiently in
making selections of teachers and in
carving out the school work. They held
a meeting recently and notified the Su-
perintendent of their views, and he is
understood to have replied that Ne had
not intended to act without their advice.
There is no doubt about the existence Of
dissatisfaction among interested persons
as regards the present school manage
ment. The opposition to the removal OF
Superintendent Gault still asserts itself,
and Gault's friends feel that the high
standard of Tacoma public schools eX-
listing at the time of his resignation is
not now being kept up. The principals
objections are being considered by the
School Board. They oppose further re-
auctions in the salary of grade teachers
on the statement that the Seattle prin-
cipals will do it, which statement they
say is erroneous. They oppose the al
legged interference of Superintendent
James in school work. When this mat
ter takes form before the public it will
create a lively discussion. In order to
secure change of policy an increase of
School Directors to one for each ward is

san Francisco w III bHih u I"lh ~ 'h'
Movements Succeed.
san Francisco, GAIA big mass
meeting was held here, at which citizens
demanded that the Southern Pacific
Company, which controls most OF the
street railways in the city, grant a
scent fare from the ferries to the ocean.
Adolph Sutro, the millionaire philan-
thropist who is said to own one-tenth OF
the entire area of San Francisco, has
offered to give his famous Sutro Heights
property overlooking the ocean for a
public park, provided the fare to the
beach is reduced from 10 to 5 cents.
Sutro values the property at $1,000, 900.
The meeting adopted long resolutions
relative to the bill now pending in Con-
gress to refund the Southern Pacific rail
road debts, making these Obligations
payable in 100 years, with interest at 2
per cent. The preamble declares that
such legislation would rob the people Of
the United States and practically
amount to a gift of $76,000,000 to the
Central Pacific Railway Company that
under the law s of California the individ-
ual stockholders are personally liable.

SEATTLE, WAsH.-The Lake Washing

cussion before the Chamber OF Commerce
at its meeting recently, and the offer
made by the Seattle Brewing and Malt
ing Company to give $4,000 in thirty
monthly installments toward the work
was discussed at some length. Some of
the members We're in favor of widening
the present canal for the purpose OF low
ering the lake, thinking that this was
hardly the time to build a ship canal.
The offer was made for ship canal only,
however, and others thought the work
could be accomplished by home capital.
The matter was referred to the permanent

sisting OF d. II. Gilman, S. l.. Crawford,
A. P. Mitten, George II. Hebron and
c. D. Stimson, with a request that they
investigate and report promptly.

Careful Estimate of the Different Bands
of Coxeyites on the Way.
WASHINGTON, d. C.-Representative
Davis and II. E. Taubeneck have been
making a careful estimate of the differ
ent bands of Coxeyites on the way to
Washington City, and claim that there
are 5000 men tramping or riding on
boats and borrowed trains toward the
capital. Mr.. Davis does not believe in
the wisdom or efficiency of the move
ment, and has written magazine arti-
Gle in which he points out that the move
ment ista result OF currency contraction
and summarized it as organized want"
If the government should yield to Cox
ey's demands, other armies would march
on the capital with other demands, and
the result would be government by the
multitude. The remedy for the present
state OF business he finds in the ballot,
which he defines as recorded opinion.
"No Coxeyites have come from Kansas,
he said in a conversation on the subject,
because Kansas has expressed herself
properly by her elections, and Nebraska,
which is largely a Populist State, has
contributed no more than seventy-five
men," By imprisoning the leaders, he
says, the authorities have made swan
out of a goose. The chief danger from
the movement, he thinks, will develop
next fall, when the weather becomes too
cold for men to camp outdoors. Then
he looks for trouble.

Two Members of the Dalton Gang Taken
by Surprise.
Ell RENO, o. 1.-Two men supposed
to be members of the Dalton gang of
train robbers passed through FL Reno
the other day, travelling eastward. The
Sheriff telegraphed to the little town of
Yukon to intercept and arrest them. A
posse quickly organized, and when the
train robbers made their appearance
they were attacked. The defense was
quite as hot as the attack, and running
fight ensued. One man, Mr.. Parrish,
was shot in the groin. The bullet passed
entirely through him. He is not ex-
pected to live. An old man named Mel
son was shot in the forehead, but not
dangerously. A number of other per-
sons were wounded more or less severely
during the skirmish, among them man
named Snyder, who was shot in the face
and will die. One of the robbers was
shot and captured, but resisted to the
last, and several OF his captors bear cuts
and bruises on the head, which he made
with his six-shooter. The other robber
escaped, but is supposed to have been
hit two or three times, one bullet taking
away portion of his lip and one strik-
ing him in the head. The one captured
is not known here.

Washington Versus Napoleon.


The violent revival of interest in Napoleon
suggests that the day will come presently
when it will occur to some magazine editor
or other observing person to organize liter
airy resurrection of General George Washing
ton. Washington has by no means been for
gotten in this country. Indeed, he is called
to mind every year on his birthday, when his
career and character are the subject of editor
ial articles in numbers of newspapers. But
in that part of the country which has develop
ed in the last 80 years he is by no means 50
conspicuously before the public us i'll the older
cities and States that knew him personally
and were honOred by his presence. In these
older localities his effigies abound and his
digniiied figure is familiar, but west of the
Hudson Washington monuments are scarce,
and the Father of his country is by no means
as familiar to the eye as Lincoln, Grant, and
other heroes of the civil war
Washington revival will be welcome and
salutary whenever it comes, and if it bringsa
new crop of monuments with it, so much the
better. Meanwhile it is interesting to note
that controversy has lately been raging at
great length in the London Times about
WashingtOn's pedigree. There is no doubt
that he derived from the Washing tons of Sui
grave, and came of an English family "never
powerful or distinguished, but undoubtedly
ancient" The Times says that the Herald's
Visitations came to an end in England in the
first quarter of the 18th century, while few
parish registers are older than the reign of
James H., and that it is in the period between
the two systems of records Ga period of emf
grations and much disquiet) that it is difficult
to trace the Washington line. 1t seems to
have been done at last with results which,
though not especially interesting, seem to be
accurate and satisfactory to the genealogists
No Washington has been discovered from
whom our George would have been likely to
have inherited his uncommon qualities, but
his title is clear enough to any advantage that
may inure to an ascertained derivation from
English ancestors, who, though not nobIemen,
were gentlemen, and whose sole title to fame
rests upon the distinction of their descendant
