PLETHORA OF LOGS.
BOOms Held Over 15O,OOO,OOO Feet
During the Recent Freshet.


During the Recent Freshet.
At the time Of the recent high water
in the Mississippi and the danger at
Durham island, 1t was stoutly main
tanned that there were but 80, 900 feet
Of logs in the Mississippi and Rum
River Boom company's boom at that
place. Some rumors of larger amount
were circulated, but every one supposed
to have accurate knowledge fixed the
amount at about 30,000,000 feet or else
did not know" 1t now transpires that
the rumors were correct. The Missis-
sippi Valley Lumberman says tk at there
are 150,0O0000 feet Of logs at Durham
island. No wonder the boom company
was anxious.
During and since the flood the logs
above the city have been held back
except a few that escaped the booms
in various places. But now, the Lum-
herman says, the large supply of logs
above the Brainerd dam has been start
ed, and the boom company is sluicing
them over. They are being allowed
to run freely and are joining the mass
of logs in the river at Little Falls. The
people Of that place are determined that
they shall not stay there, and so the
boom company is turning them over
the dam at that place. Just how they
will be handled is a problem that is
facing the boom company. All of their
pockets behind the islands between Lit
tie Falls and Minneapolis are full, and
there are 150,OOO,OOO feet at Durham
island, about all that the mills will be
able to saw this year. Then there is
this vast number of logs that it does
not seem possible to hold in the open
river, to be taken care of over winter.
However, the situation is no more SER
ious than some that the company has
already been forced to meet, and they
will probably find a way to take care
of them

STRUCK UNTOLD WEALTH.
AS High as $4,000 to the Pan WASH
ed Out by n Minneapolis Man.

From what Capt. John G. MacGregor
writes to members Of his family in
Minneapolis, the half has not yet been
told of the fabulous riches Of the Klon-
dyke region.
Capt MacGregor went into Alaska
last March and the last Of the letters
to his relatives came from the land of
gold June IA. This was before the rush
of the fortune hunters had begun or
before, in fact, much was known Of
the Dawson City diggings. Notwith-
standing that fact the letter contains
estimates of wealth which distance far
and away any of the hitherto published
accounts of the yield from Alaska's
glittering sands.
1--WE have washed 1000 to a single
pan," says the captain in one of his
letters. This is almost incredible. 1t
would be quite so in fact were 1t not for
his well-known reputation. He has
and much of that time has been en-
gagged in the very work he is now do
ing, placer mining.
Up to date the worlds record has
been $1,000 a pan. This was in Mon
tana at Montana Bar. There was
group Of properties in what was known
as the Confederate Gulch, and every
100 feet for half mile along the shore
produced $1,000 a pan for every wash
ing. The year was 1868. Capt: Mac
Gregor owned those properties then,
and does now, so that in the present
instance his word must command
good deal of respect on that ground
alone
His attention was directed to the Yu-
kon valley basin some time ago, and
a year ago last March he sent two men
who had been in his pay for a number
of years, out to prospect. He heard
from them from time to time, but the
message he waited for did not come
until last March. Then the word he re-
ceived caused him to form a party i'm
nediately. He had had his prepara-
tons all planned and within a very
short time was breasting the mountain
SHOWS in the Chilkoot pass. He could
not wait for the warm season, and
made the trip successfully, though at
the expense of considerable suffering
by members of his expedition, On his
arrival he Immediately assumed charge
at the claims which had been located
and staked out by his men, with the
result that he uncovered the tremen-
dously rich find he reports.
His family may join him for short
time next summer, and possibly stay
through the winter. They do not ex-
pect to hear from him again, as the last
beat for the coast was scheduled to
leave Dawson City some time ago.

TWIN CITY ENGINEERS
Inspect the Work on the Reservoir
Pipe Line.

At the invitation of City Engineer
Cappelen, members of the Minneapolis
and st. Paul Engineers club, num-
bering forty, yesterday afternoon. paid
visit of inspection to the new reser-
vcir, taking Eighth and Central cars
from the city hall at o'clock.
The big ditch now in course Of ex-
cavation from the reservoir to the
North Side station, was the attraction
for the visitors, interest centering
around the pipe laying operations. The
big basins also came in for a good
share of attention.
The party left the cars at the end
OF the line and surveyed the ditch for
the distance of 300 feet excavated
up to date. The main pipe has been
laid for like distance, being put in
as soon as there is room for it. The
small pipe has been laid for a dis
lance of 2,100 feet. The work Of calk-
ing, riveting and laying a certain
stretch of pipe, was delayed until after
noon for the benefit of the visitors,
who were treated to a truly wonderful
exhibition of the rapid and efficient
manner in which, with the aid of mod

there. if he should become divorced in Amer

would be still the husband of Mrs. Austin, of

KELLEY LEAGUERs TO MEET.
They VIII Gather Today in Minne-
RpOlis.

The National Kelley league, which
will meet this year in Minneapolis, will
probably be more largely attended than
ever before since the 'Keeley Cure"
began it's work at Dwight ten years
ago. The local committee has secured
the Lyceum theater on Hennepin ave-
nue. for the business meetings of the
league, while the Woman's Kelley
league will transact business at the
Unitarian church, on Eighth street be-
tween Hennepin and Nicollet.
1t is already known that all Of the
men and women whose names have
become prominent in the Kelley work
will attend the Minneapolis conven-
ton, and several of the churches have
already been rendered to the local
committee for use in the temperance
cause on the Sunday following the
meeting.
Today. at o'clock p. M, there will
be a meeting of all the committees
having the work in charge. These
committees will meet at the Kelley
institute on Tenth street in Mime
apolis, and, in connection with the To-
cal Kelley league. a programme will
be mapped out for the work to be done
prior to the meeting of the national
league.
All Kelley graduates living in st.
Paul are requested to be in attendance
and to actively participate with their
Minneapolis friends in the work.

Gus Peterson, son of an ex-deputy
sheriff and brother to Frank Peterson,
deputy register of deeds, created a
sensation yesterday afternoon, which
was witnessed by several hundred peo-
pie. He ran down from First street
south, through the railroad yards on
the river bank, and at Fourth avenue
south, jumped in for a swim. People
thought it was a case of suicide and a
call for the police was sent in. After
splashing around for a time Peterson
got on small boom and addressed the
crowd. With the aid of several officers,
a beat was procured and Peterson was
persuaded to come to shore. While
dressing he told the onlookers that he
had not experienced more comfort

taken in charge by the officers, he was

BURGLAR ON A BICYCLE.
Police Capture the Wheel, but Not
the Crook,

That Minneapolis burglars are a very
progressive set and quick to adopt
strictly up-to-date methods of doing
business, has long been unquestioned,
and this was conclusively proved III a
case brought to the attention of the
police yesterday.
During the absence of a family re-
siding at 1920 Eleventh avenue south,
Friday afternoon, man attired in a
nobby bicycle suit rode up to the house,
leaned his wheel against the porch and
then walked in at the front door. A
woman living near at hand who knew
OF the family's absence, saw him enter,
and her suspicious were aroused She
dispatched her son after a policeman,
and in the meantime closely watched
the house. Nothing further had been
seen of the fellow when the officer ar
rived, and she at once related the cir
cumstances to him. He at once en-
tered the front door. And as he did
so the wheelman jumped from rear
window and easily escaped, although
the officer gave chase.
The bicycle, a model A" Badger,
supposed to have been stolen, was con-
fiscated by the officer and is now at
the police headquarters. The burglar
left so hurriedly that he dropped a
sackfull of property which he had fig
ured on carrying away with him.
