tate. He accordingly came back to Tacoma, prevailed upon his brother here to accompany him East, and the two left for Racine. No secret was made of their movements, and when The Call correspondent to-day inves- tigated the facts he learned that sev- eral persons knew all about the brothers trip East and that Horne's carpenter-shop and tools are being cared for by a friend here until Hornes return. Both brothers are daily expected to return here, and since their departure have written to several friends telling of their trip and experiences in Wisconsin. Horne's latest letter to a friend here, written about two weeks ago from Racine, announced that he would reach Ta- coma within two weeks from the date of writing. His friends expect him daily to arrive and personally disprove the murder and robbery theory ar rived at by the San Francisco and Ta- coma detectives.
 The local police force does not seem to have given Chief Lees inquiries the attention they deserve, for a look in the directory and a consultation with II would have cleared up the mystery. The Golden Gate detectives apparently believed that a thorough search had been made here and consequently con- cluded that Horne never reached Ta- coma.
 Horne had friends in San Francisco who knew of his good fortune and that he had taken considerable money to San Francisco with him. When he left town quietly they thought he had dis appeared and requested Chief Lees to set detectives at work. In October Horne's relatives in Iowa wrote here for information concerning him and the search was nominally renewed. This week came another letter from his nephew, George w. Scott of Eldon, Iowa, suggesting that he might have returned to Dawson. The police were preparing to act on this theory when informed to-day that Horne was due here himself. It is understood he will return to the Klondike early in the spring.

BOATS FOR THE YUKON.
Contracts for Two Vessels to Ply Between
 St. Michael and Dawson.

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. S.-A con- tract for building two sternwheel steamboats for use upon the Yukon River has just been completed between the Willamette Iron Works and John A. Magee, Jr., of San Francisco. The contract price is between $SO0O0 and S90, 1000, and includes the complete con- struction and equipment of the two beats. Mr. Magee is working in con- junction with San Francisco compa- ny, who will put on two ships between the latter city and St. Michael. From St Michael the two SteanboatS, to be built here, will run to Dawson City, and, with four barges, handle freight and passengers which will be delivered by the steamship company.
 James Lotan of the Willamette Iron Works returned from San Francisco to-day, and in speaking about the mat ter said: We will proceed at once with the construction of these two boats. and will have them ready to be lowed north by May 15. They are each to be 175 feet in length, with 36 feet beam and a depth of feet. They will draw, when loaded with 400 tons, but feet. They are to have forty staterooms, and will carry upward of 300 passengers. They will be very com- plete steamboats, including an electric light plant, steam capstan for lining over bars, and all else required by mod-
