AN OLD EMPLoYn LET OUT.
The Oldest Clerk in the Surveyor Geu-
erals Office Replaced.

} Olympia, April 23.-The first change in
the surveyor generals office here was
made today. Under the new adminis-
tration William S. Carruthers, of Ever
EFT, Skagit county is to replace A. B.
Cowles, the Oldest and highest salaried
chief clerk in any surveyor generals
office in the United States. He has held
that position for 21 years. The change
was made through political exigencies,
and will be followed by other changes
in minor clerical berths. Cowles' sue
cessor was an applicant for the office
of surveyor general. but withdrew In
favor of the present incumbent. A gem
eral reduction in salaries has been an
nounced. The chief clerk is reduced
from $250O to $500, and other employees
are cut 10 per cent. This is through a
circular letter received from the depart
ment revolling the authority Of survey
or generals throughout the United
States TO fix the salaries and appoint
clerks. The salaries of employees in the
offices of the several states will be
equalized, and all appointments must be
submitted to the commissioner general

Olympia, Wash. April 23.-Gen. Don

day on his way to Westport where he
is erecting a plant to recover the gold
from the black sand along the coasts
of Oregon and Washington. The plant
is located at Westport. and consists OF
a number OF tanks and q powerful cleo
trio battery. The gold is dissolved from
the sand by solution discovered by
Buell. as the result OF S5 years OF study
as chemist. The solution is drawn
from the tanks. and by the application
Of electricity the gold is separated, the
same as in electro-plating. The cleo
trical methods OF the new discovery are
said to be similar to Edison's idea.
Gen. Buell. rays the sand will yield $40
Of flour gold to a ton. and that enough
exists on the surface OF Oregon and
Washington beaches to pay the national
debt. He aiso has tests of platinum,
which yield even better than gold.

ATTEMPTED SHOOTING
President of a Defunct Bank
Shot at Five Times.
A VERY NARROW ESCAPE
" NARROW ESCAPE
Frenzied by the Loss of His Money a
Deposition Attempts to Shoot
j. X. EdmistOn.
Associated Press.

hSSOClulcQ lCo0,
Walla Walla, April 23.-Conslderable
excitement was caused this morning
over the attempted shooting Of ]. X.
Edmiston, president of the defunct
Walla Walla Savings bank, by II. c.
Tobin, one of our most prominent citi-
zens. Saturday evening Edmiston was
released from the county Jail on giving
bond in the sum of $1,50O to appear in
superior court next month to answer
the charge of receiving money for de-
posit when he had knowledge the bank
was insolvent. This morning, while Ed
mlston was standing on the street talk
ing with John Thoney, a depositor OF
the bank, Tobin came up, and drawing
a revolver shot at Edmiston, but missed
him. Edmiston turned around and ran
down the street, followed by Tobln, who
fired four more shots, without effect.
Several citizens caught Tobin and
took the pistol from him. and Edmis-
ton then ran into a residence and hid
himself.
Tobin was arrested and taken before
a justice of the peace, where he pleaded
guilty to the charge of assault and was
fined $40 and costs.
The shooting is the result of the fail
ure of the bank. Tobin was depositor
in the sum of $4,000. and claims that a
few days before the bank suspended he
demanded his money, but Edmiston put
him off for several days. Meantime the
bank became insolvent Ever/since Ed
miston was acquitted of the charge Of
embezzlement by the jury at Pomeroy,
public sentiment against him has run
high, and many rumors that his life
was in jeopardy have been current.
Tobin is one Of the most prominent
business men in the city and lost all he
had by the failure of the bank, and this,
with other minor troubles weighing up,
on his mind, it is supposed, produced a.
sudden impulse and caused his action.

And, finally. they give notice to all
that come here against their advice and
protest, that the laws in force In the
