BIG OFFER
Vim. Sherwood Receives Offer of
$4,000 for His Claim in
Oregon.

Among other people in this
city who have claims in Oregon is
w. Sherwood yesterday received
a letter from Elk Mayor Steldl, of
this city who is now in Oregon
offering him $4,000 spot cash
for his claim upon which he
proved up a short time ago
A local bank was authorized to
pay the money at once in event
he saw fit to accept the offer.
Mr.. Sherwood is at a loss to ac-
count for the offer as it is much
more than the land would be
worth ordinarily, but believes it
probably that a valuable mineral
bed has been located on his pro-
perty. He will make trip to
Oregon to investigate in person.

interesting chapter in the con
tinued story of an attempt OF the

was apprehended by Marshall

he was contraband goods. The
matter has beeu turned oyer to

aims. 1t was the unanimous
opinion of those present that a
successful business mems club
might be evolved from the Whist
club and all agreed that the neces-
sity for some such organization
was urgent.
The Whist club offered to turn
over it's club rooms and all it's
furnishings to the new club
should it be organized. The pro-
position was very favorably con-
sidered and it was decided to APP
point committees to lay the mat.
ter before the business men of
the city and to draw up a scheme
of organization. Messrs. b. FL.
Winter and w. L. Brooks were
appointed to canvass the matter
with the business men and h.

That Reveals the Curious in

Siam at the Worlds Fair
Fair is making an exhibit in the
Department of Liberal Arts that
will prove interesting and entertain
ing.
The drama in Siam is conducted
on a different plan from that of any
other nation, and the display of
theatrical properties" masks,
drums, stage weapons, and musi-
cal Instruments, characterize the
peculiarities of the Siamese drama.
The collection of toys is large and
amusingly quaint.
Architecture is represented by
models of the Siamese temple and
Sala or public rest-house. A very
fair idea of the homes of the country
Is conveyed by models of the float
ing houses which are found upon
the larger streams, the houses be-
ing raised on posts in the territory
subject to the annual foundations,
and the more temporary huts of the
Jungle. A splendid model fleet is
shown of the Royal Barges which
are yet used in Royal professions,
so rarely however, as to prove
decided curiosity.
