few words properly put together and
said at the right time often speak vol
umes. Commissioner Kehoe summarized
the whole Buckhalter drainage business in
one sentence when he said In his talk on
the subject There is no sense in it," The
advocates and promoters OF the drainage
Of Buekhalter swamp seemingly have en-
deavored TO befuddle the public by telling
them that the drainage OF that PARKWAY
baTony would drain Musgrove watershed
and other lands near the city. IL IS posi-
BILE. however. that the Buckhalterltes have
been deceiving themselves, for IL seems
that with ready cash and plenty Of labor
ers they have actually been foundering
around In mud and water without definite
plans and few ideas except TO do what they
started out to accomplish. The fact that
no plans br estimates have been presented
TO the board is proved by Commissioner
Kehoe's statement in yesterdays Morning
News to the effect that the work will not
accomplish what has been claimed for IL.
Corroborative evidence win be found in
ex-County Engineer Bandford's letter In
to-day's paper.
II is strongly in evidence that those who
are pushing the Buckhalter swamp drain
age are wasting thousands Of dollars OF
the peoples money either peryersely or be-
cause they do not know any better. In
either case Il IS the duty Of those whose
money is being wasted TO stop IT, II the

the elements which il includes. its historian
says: The Republican party has not had its

Seattle, WASH, Aug. 29.-The steamer
Portland arrived here at O. clock this
morning, IA hours after she had been
sighted of Cape Flattery. She carried
10 miners. each OF whom brought only
small part Of his stake. The total
amount OF dust on the vessel is per-
haps $575.000 The Portland was de-
layed by the failure of the p. B. Weare
to arrive at st. Michaels and by a
storm on the north Pacific ocean. The
miners on board with the amount of
their total mining profits. part OF which
were brought with them are as follows:
]. Rowans. $4,000; Jim Bell, $4,000;
Joe Goldsmith. $4,000; N. w. Powers,
$4,000; w. w. Caldwell. $4,000: w.
Oler, $4,000; c. X. lilly, $25, 1000; F. w.

900; b. w. Farnham, $4,000; NJ. Z.
Camler. $4,000.
II. N. Stanley, who went to st.
Micheals for The Associated Press, re-
turned to this city on the steamer Port
land. He says: II have been seven
weeks at the mouth of the Yukon at
st. Michaels, where I saw all the
miners coming out and interviewed
them. AS result feel 1t my duty to
advise everybody to stay out until next
spring. Wild. and in many cases. ex-
agerated reports have been circulated
since the first discoveries made. The
strike. however. was, and is. one Of
the greatest. If not the greatest in the
worlds history. Probably $1,000 900 was
cleaned up this spring and next spring
I look for from $5.000.O00 to $7,0O0.0O0.
'.The fields have hardly been opened

bear in mind ehat every thing in tina,

No new strikes had been reported NJ

enter that region unless he carries with
him enough food and clothing TO las:

tie children there, today, who should
be sent out as far as St. Michaels be-
fore navigation closes.
