GOLD OUTPUT OF KLoNDIKE
It Will Probably Equal That of Last
 Year

Vancouver, B. C.-Despite adverse
 conditions the output of gold from
 the Klondike this season up to the end Lof August is only one million dollars behind that of last year for the same period. Lack of water,
 caused the decrease in output. Early this month, a fair amount of rain fell and washing was recommended in earnest. The figures given are from the records of the comptroller at; Dawson and are based upon the export tax entries. The total gold shipments during may, June, July and August of thisiyear. are Se, e,957, l33. The total output during the corresponding months of 1902 was sS, ,O5S, 797. The decrease amounts to sl, lOl, ,664. It isl expected that the total cleanup during the present month will so exceed that of September, last year, that the pro7] duction for both years will be equal4 ized. ao 4

BULGARIA EXPECTS WAR
Note Construed as Giving Sultan the Right to Burn and S1av N

Sofia-The Russian minister ha, presented a note to the government stating that Turkey is the premier power in the Balkans and that it if her right to suppress rebellion in hel own territory as she thinks best. The note has caused the war spirit to flame afresh. It is looked upon as giving Turkey aboslute license to slay and burn as she will. In view of this all peaceful negotiations with Turkey must of necessity fall through. War is regarded as inevitable. l4,ft4E,
 Simultaneously with the issue of the trade appointing the mixed Mace donian commission, the report comes from Constantinople, that the porte has ordered the mobilization of two additional divisions of Asiatic troops.
 The belief prevails here that the sultan is acting solely in view of the approaching meeting between the Russian and Austrian emperors and with the hope of convincing them that he is anxious to maintain peace.
 A dispatch from Rila says that the insurgents, encouraged by their recent successes, are abandoning strictly defensive attitude and are preparing to take the offensive. a y"g 9S ,sE
 A large Turkish force surrounded an lnsurgent camp near Prespo and the insurgents had forty men and eighty women and children killed. The Turkish loss was heavy. Hs'l
 In an engagement near Kesela the Turks lost 100 killed and wounded while the insurgents had fifteen killed and twenty-nine wounded.

TREATY WILL BETTER TRADE
No Hitch Expected in Signing New Commercial Agreement

l. Washington-Minister Conger is in
 constant communication with the
 state department over the final de-
 tails of the commercial treaty with China, which is to be signed October 8. Nothing has developed to indicate
 that the signatures of Prince Ching and Minister Conger will not be attached on the day stipulated.
 Authorities here believe the treaty will mean much for the future of American trade in the Celestial en- pire. In addition to the provisions for opening ports it contains other stipulations for trade intercourse,
 which, iU is claimed, make it better treaty than that negotiated with China by Great Britian. f..
 During the day Sir Cheng Liang Chen, the Chinese minister, and w. w. Rockhill, chief of the bureau sof American Republics were in consulta- tion with Acting Secretary Adee re- garding the treaty. lAt the conclusion of the consultation it was announced that the treaty will be practically completed and ready for .signature OcIoUer 0. n n

Cnloago-Dr. Ludwig Hektoen of the University of Chicago, has an- nounced general conclusion that the physical causes of .hydrophobia, vac. cina, smallpox and yellow fever are not toxic, or from inherent poison. but are infectious.

 laws raided this town about l o'clock Thursday morning.
 After breaking into the Coppei
 Queen store, the warehouse of the Southwestern Commercial company and another small store, the bandits
 wound up at the Casino saloon, where Ernest Trask, the proprietor, was held up and ordered to turn over all the money on the gambling tables and in the safe. ''"
 Irask managed to secure revolver from drawer and dropping behind the bar fired. This attracted several Mexican officers, who rushed in and began firing upon the outlaws. l>
 A pitched battle ensued, the result of which was doubtful for time, but when the wounded were gathered up by the commissario of police, who arrived upon the scene, just as the smoke had cleared away, none of the bandits was found among them.
 On the contrary, one officer had been shot through the body twice and will die, another one had been beaten into insensibility with the butt of revolver and third had received bullet in the arm.
 One of the robbers Twas caught just outside the town attempting to make his escape with pack animal loaded with stolen goods. The other three robbers, who were just ahead of them, fled at the approach of the officers, who were unable to cover them, and they escaped. The captured outlaw has been placed in solitary confine- ment, and an attempt will be made to force him to divulge.the hiding placesselected by him and his com panions for the plunder. It is believed that the four robbers belong to the gang that raided a mining camp near Cos two weeks ago and killed John Newman, the superintendent. For this reason the capture is important and every effort will be made to com pei the prisoner to betray his fellows.

HISTORY OF IRRIGATION
FRED ALLIES ADDRESSES A LOS
 ANGELES CLUB i. l..
Example of the Workings of the New Irrigation Law Cited, With Full Explanation of It's Meanings and Purposes.

Before the Sunset club Fr.d " even
 ing Fred L. Allcs read a paper on "Ir
 rigation," particularly as that subject
 touches local interests. A large nun
 Der of club men heard the paper anc
 followed it with discussion.
 Mr.. Alles first gave short history
 of the irrigation projects, that inter.
 ested the west up to 1875, when the
 problem of how to bring together the
 water that was wasting and the land
 that. was arid first came up. He then told of the organization of the Irri. gation congress and of the policy adopted by the Los Angeles conven- tion of that body in 1893. He de- scribed the campaign that was made to get this policy incorporated in the laws of the country and of its final adoption through the aid given it by President Roosevelt. ..l.
 The speaker outlined the phrasing of the law and followed this with a practical illustration of its workings. He took for this explanation the pro- posed Tonto reservoir on the Salt river above Phoenix. aaf
 'To the east and north of the great Salt river valley," he said, "there lies tremendous water shed, upon which there falls annually enough ram to cover several hundred thousand acres of land below during the sum- mer if the water could be stored for use. This water~ shed converges toward a small valley whose opening IS narrow gorge known as the Tonto basin, the water taking a drop here of some 300 feet and running off in a wasting stream below. Shelving away fro.n the mouth of this gorge the valley opens out, fan like. and there exists there an ideal location for the construction of reservoir such as is contemplated by the national irriga- tion law"
 These are almost ideal conditions and the construction of dam at the mouth of the Tonto basin will cost s, 900, GOO. Before beginning the work all public sslands under the proposed storage dam and served by it are withdrawn from sale and the cost of the work is assessed against all public and private lands ln the district. All the land owners who are to be served | by this reservoir are compelled to bond their land for s15 per. acre, pay able at S1. 50 per annum, without in. terest.. This pays only for the right to | use the water, and not for the con- struction and maintenance of canals and ditches. These latter are con- strncted by the land ownes, who be- come mem bers in effect. of stock | company, havinga vote in proportion to theamount of their holdings. H NS
 No ownership in the water; goes to he owners of the land. The title in he water shed and the reservoir re- mains with the government in perpet- lity. ~.
 The speaker, after referring with nigh praise to George Maxwell and he Irrigation congress, closed with a prophecy of a great future for, arid America under Irrigation. tsEF J. s. Slauson, Rev c. J K. Jones, Harry Brook, H. W. O'Melveny and !. M. Elliott discussed various phases ( # this question at the conclusion of he reading by MT. Alles. -L. A. Herald. t#M g e#HI t

Mr.. Altman reached the panied con-
clusion that he had been boarded by q

pocket on the inside of his coat another
wallet. out of which he paid the bill.
II shall go back to Wahoo and report
this" he said firmly, ''and you will
never get any more trade from that
town, at least"
Then he took his trusty telescope and
caught the first train for New York
Here he employed a messenger to guide
him from his hotel to the Office of a
man he knew, man who had once been
stranded by a railroad wreck in Wahoo
and had relieved the tedium of waiting
by improving conversation with Mr.
Altman.

thinking 1 would take this day off when
you came in. Let's go out and see the

Two or three others in the Office who
had seen Altman came up and spoke to
his friend. but somehow the New Yorker
neglected to make the introductions
they SEEMED to desire. and went away
with Altman, followed by the envious
looks of the others. Why is It that New
Workers. think 1t is such fun to exhibit
themselves and their greatnesses to
men from small towns in the West?
First they went to a bank. Altman
wanted TO get a letter of credit for use
abroad. The bank official looked at him
through a pair of non-committal glasses
and remarked pleasantly:
IT would suggest that you take our
travellers notes instead OF the ordinary
credit They are much safer, you see.
The notes are not good unless accom-
panied by the letter which We issue
with them. and by carrying one in one
place and the other In another you dou-

which nearly stopped business in the
bank and brought the special officer
around with his hand on his gun.
Great scheme, hey? They must ha'
made that for me-"
He decided to take the letter then and
come around afterward for the notes.
so as to avoid the chance of having
them both on his person at one time.
but changed his mind and took the
notes to his hotel and gave them TO the
clerk 10 keep for him. The letter he
carried in a huge pocketbook in an in
side waistcoat pocket.
The Washington times., 1903-08-09

the Marquis de Lafayette. the Marquis
de Grasse. bound by family ties to the
United States, have taken the initiative
in this movement. which others have
quickly followed. impelled by the ira
ditions of ancestors who fought in the
Colonial army, or else by a personal
liking for Americans, who are among
the rare foreigners popular with
Frenchmen today.
The bust, which is a fair specimen
OF David dangers talent, shows a
Washington lofty in ideal. strong in
principle. with enlightened intelligence
and Irresistible determination. AS a
likeness it is striking, so far as one can
Judge from the ensemble Of contemp-
oraneous portraits OF Washington; as a
work of art il IS noble in conception
and fine in line, vibrating with life and
depth of feeling.
The services OF Washington 10 his
country run little risk of being ever
forgotten: the assistance of France in
the crisis will be lost from sight by no
American worthy of the name. But TO
prove that the good will of a century
and a quarter ago is still fresh in the
public mind in France is useful labor.
and for 1t the United States once again
owes gratitude 10 the names Of Rocham-
beau, Lafayette and GTasse.'

The person addressed as Landlord
gave him a thoughtful stare and replied
with what Mr.. Altman has never ceased
TO regard as unnecessary brutality:
You think you did. do you? Well, I
think you didn't, See?"
That was all Mr. Altman remem-
bered that he had read in a book on
logic that there could be no argument
where there was no common ground for
discussion. He fixed a mournful gaze
upon the chesty landlord and said no
more.
The landlord went about his business.
but as he worked he felt that sorrowful
stare transfxing him. AT last he turned
