DOGS EVBRYWHERE.
Court Room Invaded To-day by Few
 Whining Ours.

Whining Ours.
 Dogs are becoming such a nuisance in this city that they are actually in vadtng the quiet and order of the courts. It is not so very long ago that wonder was expressed at the presence of one dog in the court house building. This morning there was half dozen of them there and Juoge Peasley's court was disturbed. Sheriff Gillette bad to descend from his perch and chase the canineS out of the build ing, threats and coaxing having had DO effect on them There was half a dozen of them in the room when court opened. SheriR Gillette tried to induce them to follow him where he knew there was good fat bone. But the dogs seemed to prefer the lawyers eloquenee to old bones just then. He offered thenm other Inducements, even a brass nail collar to one of them, but the sight Of it seemed to give it the shivers. Everybody was falling over the canfnes by this time, for bhey were in all parts of the room, and f. nally it became evident that it was impossible to go on with the business of the court with the dogs present Then the sheriff got mad and opening the door chased every one of them out and when they got to the steps out side they gathered around htm and set up a howling that was ten hum dred times worse than their presence in the court room- But the sheriff sprang in on them and with whoop that would have done credit to Sitting Bull he scattered the canines far and wide. =

POLITICAL POINTERS
Supporters of Lynch to Open Rooms in
 the Second Ward.


 Supporters of Attorney Lynch for mayor in the second and fifth wards held meetings last night and talked over plans for the battle of the pr1- maries. In the latter district there is some trouble between the Foley and Hurley elements and the wise heads are in a quandary as to how to straighten out the snarl. Ut has been suggested that both elements get to- gether and agree upon a man who will be acceptable to both sides, but whether this can be done or not is something that will not be known for some time yet Everything is nov ing smoothly for Lynch in the second ward and the boys are so enthusias- tic that they have decided to open headquarters next week and keep them open days and evenings until af- ter election. The Lynch men have made out @ strong ticket in the third district. The aldermen will be James E. Russell. Ambrose H. Wells and a prominent Lithuanian of the Brooklyn district. '.
 The Thoms men were attending to business last night, too. They held several meetings and the advance guard reported things in good order, Whether they mean it or not, 1t would be hard to say, but anyway they say that they will carry the prt- maries and elect their man by a big majority. They admit that if the en- dorsement of organized bodies of working people meant as much as some folks think it does that it would be impossible to head off Lynch, but they claim that they have assurance that the unions will not vote the same way at the primaries as they are said to have done inl their meeting rooms. One of Thoms' packers told reporter that there are as many un1onists working for Thoms as for Lynch, but for obvious reasons the Thoms sup porters who belong to the unions are not shouting their preferences from the house tops.

The republicans have not yet de- cided upon a candidate for mayor and it is understood that they will not tie up to anybody until they know the name of the democratic candidate and how John B.. Doherty will make out on their side of the house. It is said that if Doherty gets the upper hand of the machine and secures enough votes to get the nomination himself or throw it to somebody of his own choosing the Simon pure members of the party will go to work with vengeance to bury him. If the democratic candidate suits them they will vote for the head of the ticket and if not they will have a candidate of their own. There are many people about town who refuse to believe that Mayor Kilduff is out of the race and are confident that the electors will have an opportunity to vote for him this year again if they want to. A republican who does not allow party lines to influence his conduct very much on local matters said to-day that he hoped to see the conservative ele- ments of both parties get together and offer the nomination to Ki1duff. He said he knew that the republicans will nominate a democrat if necessary in order to carry the election If things don't suit them on the other side and claimed that he had been assured that tho nomination would be offered to the present incumbent. It is not likely that there is anything in this. Kilduff is getting out of the way of his own volition and no matter how much fault some people may find with him it would be hard to get any of them to believe that he would voluntarily throw away a nomination from his own party and accept one later from l the opposition. There's no truth in it. If the g. 0. p. has dark horse it is 1 not at all likely to be D. G. Kilduff.

P. T. Coogan of Washington street IS home after a vacation spent with relatives in Ireland. MT Coogan brought back several souvenirs includ- ing half dozen goIdfinches and gray hnnets. The goldhnch wears heater clothes than the Hnnet, but it cannot sing any better, probably not so well, tlnd notwithstanding it's charming cos tune and air of general superiority 1t IS not one whit better liked than the hnnet with its plain suit of gray, fmodest manners and winsome chirD which sounds something like a sshow do" from an old friend to the school boy when he hears it in the furze and hedgerowS or from the branch of a nearby sycamore or poplar tree. Tn its wild state the 1fnnet puts a good distance between itself and the haunts of man, but after all it is not strange kind of bird and when caged and used we'll it quickly reconciles itself to the new order of things and can be train ed so that it will go out of its prison and return without making any effort to regain it's liberty. It lives a long time in captivity, is an almost unceas- ing singer and can romp about and be happy under conditions which would soon put the gorgeously downed gold finch out of business. But we don't want to be understood as trying to be- little the good qualities of the gold finch. It is the handsomest bird that carols tune in the Emerald Isle and because its dress is more attractive than that Of it's neighbor is no reason why folks should find fault with it, es- ybeciaIIy when they know it was not consulted about its makeup and cannot have a change unless it made up it's mind not to wear any at aII

HIGH OPINION
OF SUMPTER.
Most Promising Gold Field in
the Northwest, Says R. H.
Clarke, of Spokane.

The Sumpter district Is the most
promising gold field in the northwest,
according to Roy H. Clark, E. NJ,
Of Spokane, who Is back from a
professional trip there, where he ex-
amined the Cougar, controlled by j.
w. Larkin, David Evans and G. P.
Hole, of Spokane. Cyrus Bradley
and w. A. Hartman Of Spokane,
have been negotiating for the sale
Of the property to New York people.
The deal is still pending.
Said Mr.. Clarke yesterday:
"For legitimate mining invest
ments in gold properties know Of
ho better section than that in the
Blue mountains of eastern Oregon.
Occupying an area 13O miles long
by 40 miles wide, the greater part Of
which Is unexplored, we'll watered
and timbered and surrounded by rich
agricultural sections, this section Is
beginning to attract the attention 1t
deserves from mining men. Over
800, 900, 900 in placer gold, chiefly
from this section, Is accredited to
Oregon In the past four years.
Quartz mining Is yet in its infancy,
the large producers being opened up
during the past seven or eight years.
Between s5, OOO,O 900 and $4,000, 900
In gold Is the production Of the
section for 1902, as compared to a
little more than 81. .OO,OO in 1899.
1.-THE boom in 1900 induced over
speculation, chiefly In real estate In
the larger towns, which hurt to some
extent. Since that time, however,
there has been steady development
Of mining properties, resulting In
most cases In great success, as evil
denced by the rapid increase Of pro-
duction.
"We hear of the much abused
terms true fissure vein, well defined
walls, 'gange, continuous outcrop,
values increasing with deepth,
applied to almost any prospect Of
cred for sale, but these expressions
are seldom SO we'll merited and sell
dom does the engineer get reassuring
assays in place Of blanks anywhere In
the northwest as In the gold hills Of
eastern Oregon.
1.-THE town of Sumpter, with a
population of 5000, aud rapidly
growing, occupies central supply
point for the whole district.
"A number of Spokane people have
interests there. Among them the
John r. Cassin company has the
Alamo, in the Alamo district, which
Is said to be showing much ore.
Glass and Witherop have the Orofino.
in the same district. Bradley and
Halterman have taken up a bond on
the Jay Gould group about nine
miles west of Sumpter. Tom C.
Gray, formerly of Rossland, is rum
ing a property. Memo Unzicker
and Otto Herlocker, formerly of
Rossland, are also in mining there"
