by the grit and enterprise Of all its public
Institutions and its citizens, that the name
Of this city has become household word
In the East This is all due TO the fact that
Ii has forged to the front in such a marvel
Gus manner.
"A few years ago Seattle. Tacoma and

From the same authority Il Is learned
that deal IS now IN the course OF con-
summation whereby all the timber lands

The Weyarhauser syndicate has at It's
back millions of dollars with which TO
successfully execute such deal. While
there IS no authority beyond the state
ment that the deal is IN progress. IL Is
only two weeks ago that an agent OF the
WsyeFhauser syndicate was IN Seattle.
From here he went 10 Tacoma and from
there disappeared. During his stay, al.
though known TO several lumbernen. II
Is stated that he gave no intimation that
such deal was on. II Is said that Il
week was spent by him In the Northern
Pacific timber districts before coming TO
Seattle. and that IL is on his report that
tho deal Is about TO go through. No
one has the slightest idea OF the amount
OF money involved in the transaction, or
whether the syndicate contempatcs hold

These two transactions show that the
greatest, wealthiest aud vost progressive
iumbermen Of the country are finding
means To acquire Western Washington

BAKER CITY'S GOOSE HUNT.

BAKER CITY. Or, Oct. I7.-About Z
o'clock the evening Of the 18th. light
rain fell In Baker City. which was soon
followed by a heavy. wet snow. lasting till
midnight. The weather had turned cold
the first OF the week. and focks OF geese
began coming from the far north to MAJ
heur lake. which Is now covered with mil
lions Of birds. Just before s o'clock the
loud honking Of thousands OF these birds
was heard above the city. Much 10 tho
surprise Of the hundreds OF people on the
streets. the focks seemed 20 remain sta
tiouary and the birds were evidently In

Then commenced Wild scramble; men

GAMBLING HOUSE IS SUED.
CAPT. HARRY TURNER SEEKS TO
RECOVER LOST MONEY.
Attaches Clancy's Establishment ON
Claim for S1,O52, Which lie says
He Lost on the Might Of October

There is a paddock on the front door OF
Clancy's gambling house on Second avenue
south this morning, and a deputy sheriff Is
in charge OF the place. Last night the
familiar sound OF the little rolling bail,
the exhortatons OF the dealers and the
other things Incident TO q gambling house
running In fun blast, were conspicuous by
their absence.
Yesterday afternoon Capt. Harry Turner.
master OF the steamer Dode, began suit il
the superior court against Charles. John
and Thomas Clancy, the proprietors Of the
place. for the recovery OF $l.c52 which he
alleges he lost In gambling in the place on
October 3. Not satisfied with beginning
the suit Capt. Turner's attorneys attached
the pace 10 cover the amount OF the judg
ment prayed for in their complaint. and
placed writ OF attachment In the hands
Of Deputy Sheriff T. II. Burke, who served
IL and took possession. Last night the
gambling house was closed.
Capt. Turner'S complaint is a brief one.
He simply says he lost the amount men
TONED In the house, made a demand for
It's return. which demand was refused and
that he therefore asks Judgment for the
amount. The suit Is brought under the
state law. which permits loser in a gam
bling game TO sue for the recovery OF the
money he loat. after first making a proper
demand
The Clancy people tell a story somewhat
different from that told by Capt Turner
They admit that he gambled In their house
In fact, they assert that he was a regular
customer OF the place and a steady player.
He had habit. they say. Of coming there
every night and playing. Most of the time
he quit winner. on the night IN question,
however. they say he lost from the start,
ana finally became reckless, and bet his
money freely and wthou, using good
Judgment They admit that their house
won about $3.50 OF Turner'S money. and
say that the remainder he los. playing
with outside parties. some OK whom were
Cinnamon.
The last time a civil suit for the return
OF money lost In gambling was Instituted IN
the local superior court was when George
Stevenson, man accused OF obtaining
about 90 under false pretenses from fg-
norant people by means OF q bogus build
Ing and loan scheme, made In his defense
plea that his appetite for gambling had
caused him TO commit the crime He en-
tered civl suit for the recovery OF the
300 which hs claimed he lost and went
step further by having several proprte-
tors O. gambling houses arrested His
case was finally compromised. and he was
released because of ruling that his Of
tense statute. This was In June 1885
Local gamblers say that very often
rather than have trouble In the courts
they blow back the losses OF some play
er who threatens to make trouble for them
In this instance. however the Clancys
claim they DO not owe Turner near the
amount he has sued for.
