THE ALASKA LINE
ARBITERS BEGIN THEIR REVIEW
OF THE DISPUTE.
General Belief in London That a
Decision Will Be Arrived At
Canadian Dispatch Says Aiver-
ston will Decide In Favor OF
American Contention.

London, Oct. 13.-The last stage OF
the Alaspkan boundary arbitration be-
gan yesterday, when the commissioners
met in secret session to consider their
verdict.
Senator Lodge and Professor Sir Louis
Jo!e, one of the Canadian commission
ers, were early on hand, and War Sec
rotary Root and Senator Turner fol-
lowed them into the cabinet room from
the foreign office, where the delibera-
tons are being held. Later Commits.
sioner Aylesworth of Canada, who had
been in the county, put in an appears
ance. A decision is not anticipated at
once. While nothing can be known
definitely, very hopeful feeling pre-
walls in American circles A significant
reflex of this appears in the Times.
Dealing with the difficulties in the Sc
lection of new British Ambassador to
the United States and the irritation
which he would have to face both in
the United States and Canada if the
tribunal broke up with disagreement,
the Times says:
"We rejoice to say that there lie be-
lieved to be something more than a
possibility of an award, or rather that
the seven questions may be so answered
as to end the matter"
The commissioners will sit daily for
five hours until decision is reached.

WITHDRAWN FROM ENTRY.
Covers a Large Area in Cascade
County, Montana.

Butte, Mont, Oct. ia special to
the Miner from Great Falls says: By
an order received this morning by the
register and receiver of the local land
office, all lands in Cascade county south
of the Missouri river that are in the
Great Falls land district, and two town
ships in the vicinity of Hjghwood, are
withdrawn from entry under the desert
land law. All desert entries on such
lands for which patents have not been
issued are suspended pending investi-
cation. Embraced in the withdrawal
is nearly all the land in this county
that lies south and east of the Missouri.
1t is estimated that the order Of with
drawal affects about 100000 acres,
and that within that AREA there have
been filings under the desert land law
upon about 100000 acres. The area
embraced within the suspended entries
is probably 40, 900 acres.
At the request Of Senator Paris Glib
son, who reported to the interior de-
partment that gross frauds had been
committed and were being committed
in this district under the desert land
laws, Special Agent Chadwick was re-
Gently sent to this city to make an in
vestlgation and report. His report
was sensational one, sustaining prac-
ticallv every charge made by Senator
Gibson, and the commissioner Of the
general land office, acting upon the re
port, made the order of withdrawal and
suspension.

RAISING REINDEER.
Reports Show Government Project
Is Success.

Is Success.
Washington Oct. 12.-Fine progress
has been made in the propagation OF
domestic reindeer in Alaska turing the
last wear. DR.. Sheldon jackson, who
was the government agent for education
in Alaska and has had the reindeer
project in charge since its inception,
has received reports from all but one
of the reindeer stations this year. He
has not yet heard from Point Barrow,
where considerable herd is situated,
this place being the farthest north OF
any white settlement in Alaska.
The reports show that |, 900 reindeer
fawns were born at the several stations
during the last season. The number
born at Point Barrow is estimated at
III, the number last year having been
145.
On June 80 last, according to the re-
ports lately received here. the domes-
tic reindeer in Alaska aggregated &, 1870.
This is regarded as fine show ing, and
the feeling of the interior department
officials is that the experiment of intro
ducing domestic reindeer into Alaska,
chiefly for the benefit of the natives,
has been fully vindicated.
No reindeer were brought from Sibe-
ria this year. The government made a
contract last winter with the North
western Commercial Company to bring
over large number of deer, but the
representatives of the company found
that the government of Russia had de-
cided not to allow any more deer to be
exported from Siberia at present. The
Russian authorities said they feared
the natives OF Siberia would be de-
prived of their means of subsistence.
DR.. Jackson says this shows how much
the Russian government thinks of the
domestic reindeer as staple resource
of the navtie inhabitants.
The largest herd of reindeer in Alas
ka is now at Cape Prince of Wales,
at the entrance from Boring Sea to the
Arctic ocean. There are / 525 deer at
Point Barrow, in charge of Eskimo
herders. The next largest herd is at
Unalaskilk, where there are 1924 deer.

Log Boom Breaks Away.

C.1elan, Oct. l2.-Last Sunday night
sometime boom of logs belonging to
the Richards Lumber Company, at
Lakeside, broke loose and were blown
or drifted to the mouth of the Chelan
river, where the current carried the
logs down and jammed them against
the old bridge and the piers of the new
breakwater. There is fear lest the
great pressure of the water against the
log jams will materially damage the
bridge and breakwater.

Coin Of GCOrre III.

An old coin, minted in England dur
ing the reign of George H., was found
recently on the roof of one of the pri-
vate ward buildings Of the Johns

have been dropped by one Of the
workmen when the ward was built.
The coin is copper. On one side it
bears the profile of Groege H., with
the words Georgius H., II e X. On
the reverse the figure Of woman,
with a staff in one hand. Over her
head is inscribed Britannia and be-
meath can be seen the figures 1-3S.
The second figure is not legible, but
was probably I, as George II. was
King of Great Britain in 1I3S.

WHEN YOU GO ON THE WATER.

How to Keep from Drowning If You
Fall Overheard.
In order to lessen, If possible, the
that occur during the summer the
United States Volunteer Life Saving
corps has issued bulletin giving in
structions for the saving Of persons
from drowning and other information
for the guidance Of those who 80 on
the water.
"A large proportion of the lives lost
every year." says the bulletin, ARE Of
children who have never been given
any conception Of the dangers on the
waters, either in bathing or boating.
We have been long and persistently
urging upon parents and school boards
the duty and necessity Of education
in this direction and Of teaching the
young how to swim and how to act
when boating, and as a result many
lives have been saved the past year
by children In their teens.
"First-Do not 90 out In any pleas
ure boat of small or large dimensions
without being assured that there are
life saving buoys or cushions aboard
sufficient to float all on board in case
Of an upset or collision
"Second-With party, be sure you
are all properly and satisfactorily seat
ed before you leave the shore, partic-
ularly so when girls are on board. Let
no one attempt to exchange seats In
midstream or to put foot on the
edge or gunwale Of the boat to change
seats or to rock the boat for fun.
Where the waters become rough from
sudden sQuall or passing steamer
never rise In the boat, but settle down
as close to the bottom as possible and
keep cool until the rocking danger Is
past.
"If overturned, woman's skirts, II
held out by her extended arms, while
she uses her feet as If climbing up
stairs, will often hold her up while u
boat may pull out from the shore and
save her. A non-swimmer, by drawing
his arms up to his sides and pushing
down with widely extended hands,
while stair climbing. or treading water
with his feet, may hold himself up
several minutes, often when a single
minute means his life; or throwing out
the arms, dog fashion, forward over
hand and pulling In, as If reaching for
something-that may bring him help,
may at least keep him atloat till help
comes.
'Third-In rescuing drowning per-
sons seize them by the hair or the
collar, back of the neck; do not let
them throw their arms around your
neck or arms. If manageable, do
not strike them. but let them drop I'M
der a moment until quiet; then tow
them ashore. If unconscious, do not
wait moment for doctor or an am
bulance, but begin at once: First, get
the tongue out and hold 1t by hand
kerchlef or towel to let the water out;
get buoy, box or barrel under the
stomach, or hold them over your knee,
head down, and jolt the water out;
then turn them over side to side four
or five times; then ON the back, and
with pump movement keep their
arms going from pit Of stomach to a
straight out and back fourteen or six
teen times q minute until signs Of re-
turning life are shown. A bellows
movement pressure on the stomach at
the same time is great aid If you
have help."-New York Telegram

OWNS HIS GUILT.
One of the Oregon Train Robbers
Captured in Warrington.

Seattle, Oct 12.-Charles Hohen,
aged II years. who was raised at Equal
ity colony. in Skagit county, two miles
north of Dow, was brought to this city
last night by Captain Nevins, superin-
tendent of the Pinkerton agency at
Portland, and Sheriff W. A. Storey, of
Multnomah county. whose prisoner he
is, on the charge OF being one of the
men who held up and attempted to rob
the Oregon Railroad and Navigation
overland train east of Portland on the
night OF Sept. %.
Hoehn was arrested Wednesday by
direction of Capt. Nevins, while at
work in single mill at the colony,
after having worked alongside of one
of the Nevins detectives since the Sat
urday previous to his arrest.
Since being taken into custody he
has been confined in the county Jail at
Mount Vernon, but nothing Of the ar
rest has been allowed to become public
in the hope that Jim, alias Jesse,
James, who claims to be nephew of
the notorious outlaws of that name,
and who is known to be member OF
the Oregon train robber gang, or Allen
Miner, another member, would show up
at Equality and join Hohen. However,
they did not arrive, and Hoehn was
brought here last night and taken to
Portland by the officers at $3.50 O'Clock.
Hot on the Trail.
James is believed to be somewhere
in this part of the Northwest, and
Pinkerton detectives are said to be hot
on his trail. Sheriff Storey has been
in this part of the state for the past ten
DAYS, and at one time was only ~
hours behind his man, who managed TO
escape. Another known member OF the
gang is Gay Harshman, who was shot
by Express Messenger korner at the
time OF the attempted holdup. he Is
lying at a Portland hospital with load
of buckshot in his head, and it is part
lv due to the information he has given
the officers that Hoehn was captured.
lIoohn has made confession OF his
part in the attempted robbery.

TWO KINDS Or LYNCHINGS.

The New York Sun, more enlighten-
ed in such matters than of Did, but
still with somewhat distorted vision,
has this to say in regard to the recent
1ynching in Delaware: ~"Ostensibly,
White was burned to death to express
the pOrular Indignation at the refusal
of the Judge of the superior court to
call a special session for his trial. Real
1y, he was put out of the way because
the suggestion as the ~hypnotists
would say. the germ of lynching has
spread to Observation-Disclosures Journal.
So the Journal kinks the germ of
lynching'' has spread to Delaware. Did
the germ which made its appearance in
that state come from Illinois. Indiana,
Ohio or some other northern state? 1t
must have come from one of the north
ern or western states. for its effect on
the ~~0ulace is different from that OF
the southern germ" in that the latter
produces only a condition which de-
mands the orderly execution of the man
who makes a criminal assault on a
white woman, with no subsequent VIC
lence and unseemly action by mobs.
The people at the south avenge the
crime and quietly %disperse. and that is
the eQO OF II. Inc IOTlleEH germ pIO-
duceS much more violent conditions,
such as an insane animosIty toward
all negroes and a violent desire to rid
the community by unlawful means of
the presence of all of thai race. no
matter how ~law-abiding they may be.
Arouse a northern mob against a ne
gro who has violated the law and it is
not content until it has wreaked VEN
geance on the whole negro population
OF that town or country nei0hhOrhOOd.
When a negro at the south commits
such a crime and is ViSit-d with swift
and just punishment at the hands of
the people that is an end of the matter.
Other negroes in the neIghborhood are
just as safe from mob violence as any
white man in it. II is not against the
negro race that southern white men
take revenge in a case of this sort. but
gains IL fiend who deserves death.
Not so at the north. There a negro who
assaults a white woman arouses the
deadly an1mosity of the whites against
his entire race in that community and

AS announced in another column of
this mornin's Messenger, Captain A. J..
Galloway, of Goldsboro, passed away
on last Saturday night. He had reach
ed the allotted age of three score years
and ten. and while his friends were, be-
cause of his age and of bodily lnfirmi-
ties which had for a long time afflicted
him. looking for the sad occurrence,
still the snuffing out of this useful and
congenial life causes sadness to a host
of relatives, friends and acquaintance.
He was a man beloved and respected by
all who knew him-a Deacon light by
which all younger men could with safe
ty steer their life %barques. Peace to his
ashes, and a peaceful s%ojourn through
infinite time to the soul which death
released from the bodily pains and the
worries and anxieties of the %troublous
life in this world. Death would have
no fears for any one who could fall on
sleep with the full assurance of this
good mar that it will be we'll with him

1t has often been said that crimes
become epidemic; that a wave, as it
were, of inclination to commit a GER
tain class of crime, passes over the
country, from end to the other, al
stated periods. 1t seems now that we
have an epidemic of accidents fatal
accidents which to some extent take
the place of destruction Of human life
by the hand of the victims fellow man.
The railway accident epidemic has be-
come SO widespread hat it has even
attacked the logging roads of the saw
mills. The latest in the railway acct
dent line is h wreck of a log train in
Wilson county a few days ago.. This
being the first accident of it's kind it
did not rise to the dignity of a fatal
accident, but we may expect the next
log oad accident to approach nearer
in results to some of those which have
occurred of late beause of two express
or fast freight trains trying to pass
each other at high speed on 4 single
track. The Elem City Elevator gives
US the following account of the appear
ance of the logging railroad accident
epidemic in u state. We may look
for a rapid spread Of this disease with
more serious results than were develop
ed in the first case:
Saturday the train of the Dennis
Simmons Lumber Co, was wrecked
near Mrs. Aggie Williams curve. 1t
was caused by rotten ties, the rail turn
ed thus derailing the train and causing
several employees to put in a days
work on Sunday. No one was nurt.
The mill was closed down on account
of the Wrek. which made it impossible
to get logs to their plant"
