mAGEE PREFERS cHILCoTT PASS.
Says the Majority OF Those mt Skag-
uay VIII Fail to Get In.

San Francisco, Aug. 30.-Thomas Ma
gee, ST., who is en- route to the Klon-
dixie gold fields with a party of San
Franciscans, writes to the Associated
Press from Lake Bennett, b. c., under
date of August 10, confirming previous
reports of the terrible condition of the
White pass trail from Skaguay and
relating the almost insurmountabl diff
ficulties TO be encountered by the gold
hunters who prefer that route to the
more formidable Chilkoot pass route.
Magee thinks that the majority of the
crowd now at Skaguay and Dyea will
have to abandon all hope of getting in
to the Yukon country this year, and is
certain that late corners have no chance
of doing so.
He also deplores the fact that so
many would-be prospectors seem to
overlook the fact chat once started
from Dyea or Skaguay, food and other
supplies are not to be purchased for
love or money, as no one has any more
than he absolutely needs for himself.
He thinks that $50 pounds is about the
right amount for each man, but says
that hundreds are starting out with less
than half of that amount, and predicts
disaster for them.

THEY HAD FOUGHT WITH FISTS.
blacksmith of Albany, Or, Stabbed
in the Back.

Albany, Or, Aug. 3l.-William Maher,
a blacksmith has been stabbed in the
back by James Blackburn of this city.
A week ago Blackburn and Maher quar-
relied, and by mutual agreement fought
a duel with bare knuckles in a secluded
place across the river, in the presence of
several witnesses. Maher had the best
of the fight. Afterward they shook
hands and returned to town. Saturday
night Blackburn attacked Maher with a
knife and inflicted several ugly gashes in
the back, one of which penetrated the
lungs. Alaher was under the influence
of liquor and was unarmed. Blackburn
was sober. The latter gave himself up
and was lodged in Jail. Maher is dan
gerously i'll but may recover.

BROUGHT DOWN GOLD
OVERDUE STEAMER PORTLAND
TOUCHES AT PORT ANGELES.
Brought Down 1925, 900 In Gold Mug
gets and Dust From KIondiISe
No Pirates.

Seattle, Wash. Aug. 30.-Manager
Charles II. Hamilton of the North
American transportation and Trading
Company, which has the steamer Port
land under charter, reported Saturday
night that his company has at least
$750,000 on board in gold dust and mug
gets that have been gathered in the com
pany's store at Dawson City, st. Mich
aels and other points on the river.
The information was withheld until the
report of the steamship passing Tatoosh
island light had been confirmed, owing
to the scare head stories that have been
circulated relative to the attempt that
would be made by pirates to loot the
treasure ship. The st-Intelligencer
Alaskan news syndicates tug is expected
to arrive in Seattle today, and the report
comes from Port Angeles that the Port
land brought miners and gold.

BETWEEN RUSSIA AND FRANCE.
Alliance for the Preservation of the
Peace of Europe.

Paris, Aug. 2S.-The newspapers of
this city express delight at the fact that
by mention of the word alliance" In
toasts of the car and President Faure
on board the French cruiser Pothuau at
Cronstadt the world has been informed
that distinct understanding is appar-
emily in the nature of an alliance for
the preservation of the peace of Europe
though some of the French papers, the
Rappel, for instance, are inclined to be-
lieve that the alliance means Russia's
support of France in the event of the
latter attempting to reconquer Alsace-
Lorraine from Germany. On this sub
ject the Rappel says: "The hour OF
reparation is about to strike. Alsace
and Lorraine will become French again
and the great peace spoken of on board
the Pothuau will be on the shattered
debris of powers founded on brute
force"

ALLoTINe THE INDIAN LANDS.
Uncompnhgre of Utah TO lie Well
Provided For.


Washington, Aug. 30.-Commissioner
of Indian Affairs Jones has issued for
NAL instructions for the allotment of
Uncompahgre lands in Utah. James
Jeffreys of Tennessee and Ross Guf1in
of Missouri are the commissioners. I'm
der these orders, if in the doubtful con-
tingency that any Uncompahgre In
dian wants an allotment outside of the
Uncompahgre or Uintah reservations,
he can select any unoccupied and unen-
tered non-mineral lands in Utah. The
allotments will first be made on the
part of the Uintah reservation on
which the Uncompahgres are located
and elsewhere upon the latter, as the
Indians may select their lands, heads
of families selecting for themselves
and their minor children. The Indian
agent will select for the orphans. Al
lotments are to be made with refer
ance to the Indians best interests.
Each Indian may select the land sc
as to retain the improvements already
made Where the Indian women have
been married to Indian husbands anc
have children thereby and have beer
divorced after the Indian custom the
mother may select land for the mino
children not in charge of the father.

WAS SEIZED BY A LION
TwO-YEAR-OLD CHILD CARRIED
OFF BY A CATAM0UNT.
Woman in Charge Was Asleep, and
the Babe Has Met N Ter
rib1e Fate.

Denver, Col, Aug. ga special to
the Republican from Casper, Wyo.,
says:
All is excitement in Casper over the
loss of a 2-year-old child that was car
ried away by mountain lion on Cas-
per mountain yesterday. A fruitless
search was made by herders of hocks
and miners all day and 40 men searched
all last night in vain to find the baby
The number of those in search is con-
stantly swelling, and the search is con-
up without rest or sleep The little one
is an orphan, whose mother died last
year and whose father had put it into
the care and keeping of a family by tho
name of Henderson, who are herdine
sheep 10 miles from Casper.
At daylight Henderson arose and fol
lowed his flock, leaving his wife and the
orphan charge sleeping in camp. When
he returned at o'clock for breakfast
the woman was still fast asleep and the
baby was gone. 1t had awakened and
toddled off in its night dress. A search
was at once made for the little one and
its bare tracks were found leading to q
spring nearly mile away. Near this
spring and near the baby's tracks was
found also a fresh track of huge
mountain lion, and the fate of the lit
tie one was then known. No Other
| trac of the babe has been found

TRYING THE INSPECTION LAW.
Judge BENSON of seattle OverruIcs
the States Demurrer.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 3O.-Judge Ben
son has overruled the demurred of the
state in the suit brought to test the
constitutionality of the state grain in
spection law, passed in 1895, and the
case will be taken to the supreme court
at once for decision The case involves
the right of the state to inspect grain
and charge for its grading and classifi-
cation. 1t has been a source of no little
dissatisfaction among grain dealers
since it went into effect. and it would
be a gratifying outcome of this suit
to them to have the law declared I'M
constitutional.
The states attorney held that all
grain which came into Seattle, Tacoma
or Spokane, no matter for what pur-
pose, was subject to inspection. Mr..
Powell argued that the object of the
law was to protect consignors of grain
shipped to these points against under
grading by consignees, and to establish
inspection that would bring all parties
interested in such shipments. Judge
Benson decided that the statute was in
tended to establish an inspection fol-
the purpose of determining II grade
of grain that would bind the parties in
tcrested in the grade when the grain
was sold or assigned for acceptance Of
delivery as certain quality.

FOUND A MOUNTAIN OF COPPER.
w. A. Diclsey Tells of n Wonderful
Island.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 30.-W. A. Dick
ey, who has returned on the schooner
Helen from a journey of exploration up
Shusitna river, reports that new find
of Prince Williams sound near Montague
island. The DISCOVERIES were Mr.. Bes-
ton, an expert representing Califor-
MIA syndicate, and Gladhugh and Rip
stein, two old residents of Cooks In
let. The lead is said to be 300 or 400
feet wide, the ore being peacock cop
per, with 100000 tons in sight. Dickey,
at the head of party of five, went up
Shushitna river farther than it had be-
fore been explored. He and his party
reached the canyon, 200 miles from the
mouth, after journey full of hard
ships. They discovered no gold.

RIVER BOATS FAILED TO ARRIVE.
Captain of the Portland Laughs at
His Reported Treasure.

Port Angeles, Wash, Aug. 30.-Cap-
tain Kidston, in command of the steam
er Portland, reports a pleasant voyage
and explained the delay of three days
in reaching Port Angeles by stating that
a serious storm at st. Michaels delayed
the discharge of his cargo He laughed
when told of the reports that the Port
land was carrying over $2,0O0,O00 gold.
As matter of fact, he said, there was
only about $s25.OO0 in gold dust and
nuggets on board of his vessel. Up to
the time he left st. Michaels he had
heard of no newly discovered gold fields.
Among the Portlands passengers
from st. Michaels is Timothy Bell, who
has with him $4,000 in gold, which he
dug from claim which cost $l25.
William Ogilvie, dominion surveyor,
SAYS the 600 claims now staked out will
yield $50, 100000. From a number of the
Portland's crew it was learned that
Captain Kidston had expected the
Weare, one of the company's boats, to
come down the Yukon with about a
million dollars worth of nuggets and
gold dust, but as she did not arrive in
time, he decided to bring down the
treasure next trip. The United States
cutter Bear, it is said, will go with the
Portland on her next trip from st. Mi
chaels to Seattle. AS most of the min
ers will make their cleanup by that
time, it is expected that the Portland's
cargo will be valuable one.

LET US TEAR DOWN THE COURTS.
Sovereign's Utternnces Were Greet
ed with Cheers.

st. Louis, Sept 1.-The labor conven-
port of the committee on resolutions.
Mr.. Bergen, presenting the resolutions,
said the report was the best the COM
mittee could do under the circumstances.
The report, which is lengthy, starts
off by saying: "The fears of the more
watchful fathers of the republic have
been justified. and the republic pros
trate at the feet of Judge appointed to
administer the laws
Under the cunning form of injunc-
tions, the courts have assumed to en-
act criminal laws. and have repealed
bills or rights. and the revolutionist
courts have made laws which have de-
MED the accused the right of trial by
Jury. The exercise of the commOnest
rights of free men, the right of assem-
bly, and right of free speech, have by
legislation under the form of iniunc-
lions made Il crime.
Having drawn to themselves all the
powers of the federal government I'M
til congress and the president may act
only by judicial permission, the federal
Judges have begun the subjugation OF
the sovereign states. The pending
strike of coal miners is by those starry
ed and feeble because of scant wages
for arduous and dangerous toll. The
pending strike for the right to be fed
enough to make labor possible has been
prolific of judicial usurpatiOn, showing
the willingness of judicial deposits tc
resort to the most shameless defiance
of decency as well as of the laws anc
humanity, in order to enable heartles'
avarice to drive its hungry serfs back
to the mine to faint and die at theii
drudgery, and there remains today mo-
one guaranteed right of American citi
zens untouched by these subversions o
constitutional liberty.

come to the following conclusions: Tina
whereas the present strike of the Goa
miners has again demonstrated the fac
that our so-called freedom is but
stupendous sham. while hundreds o

highways;
"Whereas, Appeals to congress ant

Strike of Harvest Hands.

Oakesdale, Aug. 3O.-Inere is a strike
among harvest hands here, and it is
quite likely that wages will be higher
than farmers had anticipated. There
are eight or 10 headers ready to start
in this vicinity, but can not do so be-
cause of lack of men. There are not
less than 80 idle men walking the streets
of Oakesdale, but none will go to work
for less than 81 per day, and farmers
do not wish to pay that price. Header
box drivers have been getting SIPS to
$3.50 per day and board.

THE NELSON AND BEDLINeToN.
Work to BE Pushed on a New Rail-
rOnd Line.

Bonner's Ferry, Idaho, Aug. 81
George A. Keifer. chief engineer of
the Nelson & Bedlington railroad,
passed through Bonners Ferry yester-
day and said preparations were complete
for commencing work OH that road
from Porthill. That town will be the
starting point and the work will adj
vance northward as rapidly as a large
force of men can proceed. He did not
say when the roadbed would be ready
for laying rails, but there will be no
unnecessary delay. In the same party
were several officials of the Crows Nest
pass road. The survey of this right of
way has reached the junction of Goat
river, distance of Is miles from Port
hill.
