Carnegie's Offer Accepted.

Tucson, Ariz., Nov. 27.-Andrew
Carnegie's offer of $25, 1000 for a public
library building has been accepted, the
city council voting on the military
plaza and $4,000 per annum for the
maintenance of the library.

The situation in Natal remains OBJ
scure. Fighting is reported at both
Estcourt and Ladysmith. 1t was at
first reported that heavy firing has been
heard in the direction of Willow
Grange, leading to the belief that Cen
eral Hilyard had made sortie. Later
dispatches announce that General White
SORTED from Ladysmith and inflicted
a demoralizing defeat upon the Beers.
1t would be premature to give full ere.
dence to either report.
What is quite certain is that Lady
smith, Estcourt and Mooi river station
are all isolated, and the Beers seem
able, after detaching enough troops to
hold the British forces, aggregating
1900, to push on toward Pietermaritz-
burg with some 1000 men.

Nome Claims.

In view of the wealth of the Cape
Nome claims, and the enormous num-
Der of would-be claimants, it seems
fair and equitable that the size of the
claims should be reduced. This is the
belief of the majority OF Alaska pros
pectors, and number of them have
signed petition to he sent to the
United States senators and congressman
of Washington asking that legislation
be enacted making 500 feet square the
legal size of mining claim il Alaska,
and forbidding locating claims by
power of attorney. This latter abuse,
the petitioners affirm, is particularly
detrimental to the prospectors, pre-
venting hundreds of men from getting
locations, and enabling others armed
with power of attorney, legal or other
wise, to secure valuable ground often
miles in extent.

ALONG THE COAST.
Items Of General Interest Cleaned
From the Thriving Pacific
States.

F. f. Smith, who is connected with
the Goodnough Mercantile &c Stock
Company at Elgin, was recent visitor
at La Grande. He reports business
brisk in his locality. One of the big
outputs of the Elgin country is lumber
MIR. Smith states that all the seasoned
material as been shipped ont, and sew
eral of the mills are shipping green
sawed lumber direct from the saws, so
great is the demand. There are six
sawmills in operation in the vicinity
OF Elgin. and it is estimated that the
total shipments of lumber from these
mills during the past three months
amounts to 100000 feet. Most of
the mills will be kept in operation till
the latest date possible, i'll order to
keep up with the demand, which comes
largely from Utah and other points
eastward.
Articles of incorporation for the Cedar
River Boom & Logging Company, with
capital stock OF $4,000, were filed
last week at New Whatcom, Wash.
The object of the corporation is to
catch, boom, sort and hold lumber
logs, piline, single bolts and any and
all other timber products. To erect
lumber and shingle mills and operate
same, to own or acquire tugboats for
towing or transportation, etc. The in
corporators of this company are Daniel
II. De Can, of New Whatcom, who
owns several mills on the Sound, and
John f. Dufur, recently OF Ashland,
Wis. The company will erect large
shingle mill at South Bend, with a
capacity of 100000 shingles day.
The plant will be located on either the
Siler millsite or the Foye e. McCleary
site, and work on the erection of the
mill will begin some time during the
next month. The company has already
bought several claims ON Cedar river.
Beet Sugar Plant.
There is strong probability that
Sugar Company, in Nebraska, will es-
tablish a plant in the Boise valley,
Idaho. Mr.. Oxnard and associates
have secured an option on the stock of
the Ridenbaugh canal, the property
covering $4,000 acres of land owned by
the canal company. The sugar COM
pany sent an expert into that region
during the past summer, a gentleman
named WeInrich. He spent three
months in investigating various loca-
tons in Idaho, Washington, Oregon
and Northern Utah, and reported to
his principals that the Boise Nampa
valley was better adapted to the pro-
duction of sugar beets than any other
section he visited. 1t seems likely
that the people will endeavor to colon
ize the lands owned by the canal COM
pany, as it is necessary to have great
number OF farmers growing beets in
order to assure success for large
manufacturing plant. If the factory is
built at Nampa it will be great help
to that place, but wherever it may be
erected it will become potential fac
tor in the future development of the
entire valley.

S1R-Your letter of the with
Enclosures is before me, and the contents
have been carefully noted. AS reply
in part to your inquiries l inclose you a
copy of letter sent today to an editor.
In further answer to your letter, / will
say the method business adopted by the
Publishers Collection agency is utterly
indefensible Printed on the face of dun
ming letters, are these so-called News
paper Laws which, of course, you as a
lawyer know have no existence as laws or
decisions of the courts. While it is true
that these so-called laws are not referred
to in the body OF the letters, yet they are
printed in connection Herewith with an
object, which, you say, is apparent. l
have held, as you will see from the in
closed letter that publisher of news
paper may be guilty of an attemptto OBJ
tain money under false pretenses when
he makes demand for the subscription
price of his paper which is not legally
due, accompanied by threat to enforce
these so-called laws in case of refusal to
pay; and if that be SO, how much more
culpable will be an agency that deliber-
ately devises a scheme like this to en-
force collections. There might be some
excuse for publishers who are not law
yers in promulgating such laws, but
there can be none for a collection agency
which, presumably, has at all times le-
gal adviser. 1t is apparent that these
your agency sends out in order to scare
the parties dunned into making prompt
remittances. In the second dun sent out
there is some significant language. 1t is
stated that if the claim is not paid suit
will be brought, which twill not be Of a
very pleasant nature" Immediately op-
posite this statement, in the margin,
are printed the socalled laws, according
to which there is no escape for the recip
lent OF the dun from liability, and accord
ing to which he may be arrested and
punished il he fails to respond with the
money, whether he legally owes it or not
And again, it appears from the cautious
wording Of the dunning letters the writ
or was conscious that the 80 called laws
have no existence as laws, for he scrupu-
lously refrains from referring to them in
terms. and yet the letter is written side
by side with them, the object Of which is
apparent, as you, yourself admit. This
is not legitimate method Of doing bust
ness. My opinion is that the scheme Of
this agency, as conducted, is one devised
to defraud the people by the pretense
that there are certain laws which have no
existence in fact, and literature and let
tors concerning it are non-mailable un-
der the provisions OF the acts Of congress,
approved March 2, 1889 Us Stat. 873),
and Sept 10, 1880 (28 Stat. 465).
