Seattle Man Makes a Rich strike I'm
the kIoadIk<.

Joseph Barrett. who has made hts home
IN Seattle for eight years and who went
20 the Klondike last spring has struck *
rich. de owns a third OF one claim on
Eidcrado creek, and the bedrock dirt IL
yielding from 800 70 1910 a par. He ex-
poets 70 clear 81 90 this winter II ne can
get sufficient help to wcrk the claim as ne
desires.
This news came 70 Seattle IN a Letter
written from Dawson City By Alex Beau
deiie to his wife and brought down on the
Portland. BeaudeIie went 10 the Klondike
last February and located cialm where
rieh finds had been reported. He said IN
his letter that he had not done any work
on his claim yet. 50 ne could rot tell
whether be had struck IL or not. He told
of meeting Joseph Barrett OF Seattle
From Barrett he learned that he had pnr-
chased o-e-third interest IN q claim on
Eidorado &eek for 1900 and that whsr
bedrock was reached tina dirt produced
from tzn6 10 $500 pam
People In Seattle do not have much idea
81 the distance from Dawson City 70 some
Of the mines. 1t is the ordinary idea that
one can step from a gambling den in the
magic city 70 his claim Such. however.
r. not the case, and the prices paid for
packing goods into the mines Is enough
90 make person stop and think OF what
he will meet after he reaches lawson.
Barrett has TO pack HE provisions fifteen
miles. and packers get from e to q cents
pound. II Is evident from this that Dyea
and Ekaguay are not the only places
where packers are making big money.
Barrett lived In San Francisco for years
He was a bartender at the famous Del
Monte hotel at Monterey. He is an uncle
OF Stephen Barrett, the clerk in Justice
IngersolI's court. Young Barrett will Join

Gov. Rogers Acts on Ffndfngs, and
Appoints Layfgne His Successor


Special Dispatch to the Post-InteIligencer.
LfMPIA, Sept. 2-E. s. Dudrev has
been removed from his position as COM
missioner OF the MarbIemount state roa.l
ara Joseph Layigne. of Stevens county,
has been appointed TO fill the vacancy
This action by the governor was based
upon the report of W. b. Fraser. whose
investigation into the charges of mis-
conduct filed with the governor, resulted
in findings sufficient to warrant remov-
al
1t is denied that the Investigation was
wholly exparte. and il was stated In the
governors office today that Dudrey was
gwen ample opportunity TO explain his
official actions
COLVILLE. Sept. At seems that no
direct charges were made against E. s.
Dudrey. who has just been removed from
office as state road commissioner by the
governor, but petition embodying all the
irregularities and other things that he is
said 10 have fallen heir to by virtue of his
office was some time ago sent TO the gov
ernor. who in turn delegated w Il.
Fraser, one Of the commissioners from
SkaSit county, TO look after the matter
and report. Fraser has been here and has
made most searching inquiry into all the
things alleged to have been done by Dud-
rey. He has been taking affidavits and
collecting information in other ways to
De used before the governor
In the meantime Dudrey's friends are
making capital out of the fact that he has
not been served with copy Of the charges
and at the same time denied the privilege
of meeting them In person but Il is
thought that the action of Fraser was
simply to get such information as would
assist the governor TO determine whether
there is Just cause for complaint
One Of the charges against Dudrey Is
said TO be that he was offered a horse
for sl5. He said he could not buy the
horse and pay for II directly out of the
state funds, but he could put the seller
on the pay roll of employees and retain
him there at a stated rate of wages until
the price of the horse was paid.
