Total cost

1otaI cost ...............$ 23S ,O55
This is for 1000 lineal feet of wharf
room, which is total of $50. .555. more
than the estimated amount required
under the plan of the o. r. & L. Co,
for 2,400 feet which was $7S.13 per line
al foot, while the Government plan
would cost $119.02 per lineal foot, a
difference of $40.S9 per foot, over so
per cent more
The expense of keeping such a struc-
ture in repair, nearly a half mile in
length running straight away from the
business part of the town is suggestive,
notOnly in consequence Of the high COST
OF such structure to be used for the
combined purpose of wharf and road
over which heavy teaming must be
driven (eVery ton of freights loaded
or discharged at the extreme makai
end of this wharf must be haul
ed over all the rest of that structure)
but also for the present an unneces-
sarily heavy expense for hauling such
long distance
In an interview with one of the
Cabinet Ministers which was publish
ed some time since, the Minister was
reported to have said in effect, 'fthis

plan referring to the long wharf
plan), will be a benefit to the o. r. G.
L. Co. and all concerned, and if later
it is found necessary to extend wharves
into the mud fiat, it will be easy to
cut slips through the proposed long
wharf"
1t may be well before any more pro-
gress is made with the Government
plan to consider this easy plan of
cutting docks through a wharf 100 feet
wide, and what it will cost taxpayers
to make such easy changes to cor
rect gross errors in so-called harbor
Improvements. Let us assume then
for example that the Government have
already constructed their long wharf
or at least have extended it across
from Lime Kiln to the o. r. & L. Co.
present wharf, say 700 feet; two or
three years have elapsed and the bust
ness of the o. r. & L. Co. alone re
quires more wharf room than all that
has been supplied by the Government.
Now the Government proposes to uti-
lize the mud fiat. To do this four
slips are cut through the 700 feet
wharf, one $50 feet wide, and three
more each 125 feet wire, making in all
425 feet. This change will make it pos
sible now to utilize the whole mud fat,
which was so ruthlessly cut off. This
easy undertaking will cost besides
the loss of wharf cut away, (425ft.x

Flood was Passenger on the steamer
Doric, which arrived from Asiatic ports
yesterday, and was placed under arrest by
Deputy United States Marshal Shove as

the United States minister at Kobe, char9-
ing Flood with fraud
The authorities here know nothing Of
the crime of which the prisoner is charged,
and Flood refused to discuss the circum-
stances. He, however, told the marshal on
his arrest that he expected to be taken
into custody on arrival here The United
States attorney has cabled to Kobe for
further instructions.
The officers have learned that Flood
went to Japan a few months ago to en-
gage in business with his twin brother,
who was the most extensive dealer in car
pets and mattings in the orient. besides be-
ing identified with a banking concern.
Upon his arrival in Kobe his brother turn

Young Merriam VIII Escape.

san Francisco, Oct lS.--lhe steamer
Doric arrived from the Orient via Homo
lulu and brings the following advices from
Honolulu under date of October II
1t looks now as though Lieutenant
Wheelock and Lieutenant Merriam will
escape punishment for the escapade of
the Sd inst, when they proclaimed mar.
tial law without authority. General King
investigated the case of Lieutenant Wheel
ock and suspended that officer. Lieuten-
ant Wheelock is brought in ion much of
the blame by King, for the reason that
he was provost marshal. Merriam was
off duty. 1t is held WheelOck should
have arrested Merriam for disorderly con
duct if such was shown. In place of that
Wheelock loaned himself and the men un-
der him to the riot started by Merriam.
All of yesterday was spent in making in
designations. Captain SaXton, Kings adju-
tant, announced there would be no court
martial.

United States sanitary commission Will

cause of all the infectious diseases. some
DAYS have elapsed since even the prlhcl-

municipal officers take no steps TO remedy
th, evil. The trouble seems to be that the
work of sweeping the streets is let out by

he can not buy carts or mules or pay
wages TO continue the service.
Owing to announcements in the news

alton commissioners sent Captain Girls

sale several mortars and other guns. The
commissioners promptly sent protest to
the Spanish evacuation commissioners,
who replied that the articles referred to
were useless for service and were only
being sold as old metal

As the claims on the south half are
opened up they are showing results that
are far superior to their surface promise.
II. f. Shafer returned from that section
and exhibited some assays which he as
serts are about an average Of those that
have been obtained from ores taken from
the Wonder, a property owned by }. +.
Graves and George Wooster of Spokane
and himself The development on the
Wonder consists of two shafts and some
surface work. Samples taken from sur
face cuts assay $l6.S4. From the bottom
of an lS-foot shaft the ore assayed 500 81
in gold and four ounces in silver per
ton. From the bottom of a l0-foot shaft,
in 10 feet of solid ore, the assays show
ed IA value of $50 SO in gold and 81 81
in silver.
The Wonder claim is near the 25mile
post on the San Poll river and about
three miles south of the Davis camp.
There are several other claims that have
equally good surface showings but the
development upon them is very little.
Taken as a whole, that region is

WORST OF EARLY STORMS,
Child Freezes in the Arms of His
Father.

Denver, Oct. IA special from Flor.
ence, Col. says:
On Saturday William Leilin and his To-
yearold boy came to Florence from their
home, six miles from Florence, to do
some trading. After spending the day
about town, at u p. m. they started for
home III their wagon. 1t was raining
when they left town, but when ont
about five miles the rain turned to a
binding snow storm. The father lost
his way and wandered about among
scrub pine and III the hills all night.
The wagon and team were abandoned
and an effort made to reach home on
foot.
As the night wore on the little fellow
became cold and numb and troze to
death IN his fathers arms
The father managed to keep alive by
walking until he could walk no more
from numbness of limb. Daylight broke,
and Leilin knew he was not far from
home. but was unable TO walk. At
o'clock his cries were heard by his wife,
who went to his rescue. Neighbors were
summoned and the Old gentleman was
assisted to hi, home, but he was 50 near
dead that he could not give an intelll-
gent account OF the nights wanderngsr
but the dead body OF the boy told a pitt
ful story Of a lack OF sufficient clothing
to keep him warm. He wore knee pant,
and small coat, but no underwear MOI
