metal in the harmless Shell there is
fitted papier mache stub, shaped ex-
actly like the lead and steel in the
dangerous ammunition. Both are
waxed, and when taken from the box
the only easily detected difference is
in the weight. A soldier discovered
that he was about to load with a ball
instead of a blank while in mimic ac-
ton Saturday. He Immediately turned
the cartridge over to his company
commander, and the loaded shell was
delivered to- the adjutant with the re-
port narrating the circumstances Of
it's finding. The second loaded shell
was found by private as he was
placing his ammunition in his belt.
The blanks being used in these ma
neuvers are from the Frankfort arse
nal. The mistake must have been
made where the cartridges are pre-
pared. The ammunition issued has
been fresh from packages as they were
shipped from Frankfort to San Fran
cisco and then to Camp Atascadero.

Ball Cartridges With the Blanks.

ATASCADERO, Cal. Aug. 26.-At
the office of Colonel George Andrews
Adjutant- General MacArthur's staff,
are reports from two of the organiza-
tons of the provisional division that
ball cartridges have been found with
the blank ammunition distributed to
the troops for use in the sham battles
they have been fighting since Tuesday
the declaration of Lieutenant Lionel
Swift, of the First California regiment,
that in the attack on Pine Mountain
yesterday, he distinctly heard a bullet
whistle over his head. Swift is no
stranger to the sound which is created
by steel jacketed lead sped from the
barrel of rifle. He is a veteran of the
Philippine campaign, and the music
he says he heard yesterday is a ia
miliar tune to his ears.
The order has gone forth that before
another of the troops leaves camp to-
morrow a competent officer must in
spect every cartridge. The blank in
appearance and outline is a duplicate
of the ball cartridge. In place of the

from both parties.

VINO went out at the head of the va
liant Thirty-second Iowa infantry,
served with distinction. and after the
war came west to fill the position of
Indian agent at Olympia, where he died
August y, 1875. For twenty-e eight
years Major Gibson has been sleeping
his last sleep in Masonic cemetery and
none of the comrades who by chance
may have seen his grave knew that
the neglected mound was that of a
civil war veteran.
Two members of his own regiment
now live in Olympia, and for the first
time have learned that Major Gibson,
the Indian agent, was their major in
the Iowa regiment when it went to
war. Delano Meyers, janitor or the
courthouse. was a member of the
Thirty third Iowa, as was also Ser
geant P. J. Haze, residing at 1919 Co
lumbia street, and who spent thirty
years of his life in the army, anlisting
again and again after the war was
over
The discovery of Major Gibson's
grave was made through a long let
ter written by his son in Iowa to
Robert Frost, asking for information
concerning the grave of mis- father and
giving information which soon led to
the discovery.
Delano Meyers and his comrades will
take steps at once to see that the old
veterans grave is given attention.
Judge Milton Giles has already made
application to the government for one
of the headstones furnished by the
government for the graves of all war
veterans.

Years.

La Grande, Or, May 7. 1904
Your request for a reference about
'TRIB" received and will give you the
words of praise only that your treat
ment deserves, and that is much. My
son was hard drinker and tobacco
user for 20 years and has taken many
advertised cures for both liquor and
tobacco, but never stayed with it long
er than one month at any time until
got "TRIB" for him. He took "TRIB"
about 10 months ago and has not used
either since the fourth day ne COM
menced to take your treatment. He
has gained 20 pounds and is home with
me every night he is in town. You
may use my name to tell people that
'TRIB" is all you claim for it.
Yours truly,
MRS. JAMES S. WATSON.

the people of this state to elect Off
cials who will give an honest and ef1-
Gent administration. This is matter
that is thoroughly appreciated and the
feeling is such that we are obtaining
encouragement from unexpected quar-
tiers. Never have 1 known a campaign

This season has been exceptionally
dull in the north, but l do not think
Alaska are becoming scarce. The light
fall of snow of last winter is the prin
prevailed there this summer. Last
winter the frost went into the ground
very deep because of little snow on the
surface. Then this spring there was
scarcity of water because there was
little snow to melt.
When at Nome l heard many favor
able reports of the Tanana district. l
did not go into this region, but from
what l heard l believe that it is a rich
section. OF course. there are the same
difficulties there that there have been
in other parts of Alaska in past years.
The greatest of these is the lack of
transportation facilities.
There are plenty Of men in the
north, and unless they get out before
the winter season comes on many may
starve or freeze to death More men
have f1ocked to the north this year
than there was work for, because of
the dizziness in mining Operations.sIdle

No Place for Poor Man.
Alaska in most places is a good
place for the man of means, but the
man who depends on his own work has
hard time of it. This is especially
true of the Tanana The distances are
too great to make it possible for the
poor man to do much without help.
II believe that Alaska rich also in
other minerals besides gold. There
are valuable deposits of tin, copper and
silver. The operations in the north are
by no means played out. Explora-
tons will be made there in future
years, and l have no doubt that more
and richer deposits than have been
found will be discovered. But because

ministration in this state VIII be maui
gurated by the democratic state COM
mjttee. Chairman J. w. Goodwin, who
has lust returned from the conference
held at Spokane between nominees OF
the RelIingham convention, prominent
party leaders and members of the
state committee, is enthusiastic over
the prospect and confident that the
state ticket will be elected by a hand
some majority.
In eastern Washington" says Mr..
Goodwin. republicans do not concede
that there has been a republican state
convention. They refer to the Tacoma
meeting as railroad convention, and
the feeling of hostility toward the ticket
named under railroad direction is
spreading.
There is no question that the DEM
ocrats will carry every county in east
ern Washington. From reports we
have received, | believe the majOrities
given will be unprecedented. Party
workers are enthusiastic, and in every
part of the static we are prepared for
a systematic campaign that cannot
help being effective.
Dissatisfaction Growing.
IN western Washington the dissat-
faction with the republican ticket is
growing. | do not believe people cor
rectly estimate the feeling that exists.
They are too much inclined to believe
that the trouble is not serious. AS a
matter of fact l know from thorough
reports we have received that the west
side will give Turner and the entire
state ticket most liberal support. We
have a surprise in store for the repub-
lican managers.
The campaign in Washington will
be opened at a big meeting to be held
some time about the middle of Sep
TENDER in Spokane. The state commit
tee will have charge of the meeting
and set the date. At this meeting we
expect to have present most of the
nominees of the Bellingham cOnVen-
ton and will formally open the canvass
with big rally.
The exact date for the opening
meeting has not yet been determined
but it will be about toe middle of Sep
tember. From that time on an ener-
getic speaking campaign will be made
