YUKON MINES GIVING OUT.
Consul Smith Reports Large Falling
OFF in Output

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 30.-The
Yukon gold fields snow signs of giving
out. A report from Consul Smith at
Victoria tells of a big decline in the
production of gold from that territory
last year. The value of gold output
fell off last year nearly $500, 600, as
compared with the preceding year, the
production being $1O,7OO,OOO, as COM
pared with $12,1O0,OOO in 1903. The
dryness of the season is given as one
reason for the poor showing. The
steady reduction in the gold output has
had a depressing effect on business in
that region. Consul Smith says that
mining in a small way at Dawson and
vicinity is no longer profitable. Oper-
atoms on a large scale give more
promise of success.
However, the 1904 receipts of the
Canadian offices for miners certifi-
Gates, placer grants, rentals, ETC., all
show a decline as compared with the
receipts Of 1903 and 1902.

NOTED WOMAN IN CITY
Mrs. eeatric Mcclure Is Among Dele

Walla Walla this week, has lineage ga

came to America with the pilgrims in
the good ship Anne, in 1923; and ON
her fathers side she goes straight to

gallantry on the field. Another uncle,
Witter Baxter, was minister to Ger

INSTALLING FISH LADDER
Salmon and Trout Will Soon Be Able
to Mount Dam on WaiIa WaIIa.


Walla Walla fishermen who spent
Sunday on the south fork of the Walla
Walla river report that the Northwest
ern Gas & Electric company is INSTALL
ing a fish ladder at the company's dam
near the Roberts ranch. The ladder is
of an improved make and it is expect
ed there will be little cause for any
further complaint from fishermen that
salmon and trout are unable to ascend
the Walla Walla by reason of the big
dam at the company's intake to the
barrel f1ume. Owing to the inability
Of fish to ascend the stream fishing is
very poor above the Roberts ranch this
season, although below that point sew
eral good catches have been made.
The stream is unusually high for this
season of the year owing to the late
rains in the mountains and it will
probably be several weeks yet before
fly fishing will be good.

FIRE BIG KILN OF BRICK
Nearly Million Brick Will Soon Be
Ready for Market at Penitentiary.

Arrangements for firing a big kiln
of 100000 brick at the penitentiary to-
morrow were completed today and the
big stack of building material will be
ready for the market within another
week. The crew of convicts employed
at the prison brick yard is busily en-
gagged in manufacturing brick for two
other big kilns which will be burned
as soon as they are ready. Despite the
boycott instituted by building con-
tractors against penitentiary brick, the
prison officials say they have little
trouble in disposing of all the brick
they can manufacture and for time
this spring it looked as if the orders
coming in would exceed the output at
the brick yard.

The utmost secrecy is manifested

slightest intimation of the nature of
their contents being permitted to be-
come public.
He Talks to Japan.
1t is quite certain now that in ad-
dition to making a direct appeal to
the Russian Emperor to take such
measures as may bring the pending
negotiations to a successful issue.
President Roosevelt has communicated
with the Japanese government along
similar Ines.
A wrong impression is likely to be
created by some recent reports of the
Presidents activity in the peace pro-
ceedings that he is eXerting the pow
eerful influence he Yields to force the
ENJOYS into some sort of agreement.
No such impression is warranted by
the efforts he has made. Moved by
a profound desire to restore peace,
the President has lent his good offices
to the representatives of both of the
warning powers, but he has RETAINED
from any effort which might be re-
garded as offensive either by Russia
or japan. Impressed by the belief
that an agreement can be reached by
the ENJOYS after full discussion and
thorough consideration of all phases
of the question at issue, President
Roosevelt finally has appealed for
peace to the st. Petersburg and Toxic
governments, communicating his APP
peals simultaneously to the ENJOYS
themselves.

liding with and damaging the little
kerosene oil schooner n. S. Gallup,

sarge arrived in the harbor tonight
with the disabled craft and her crew
of two. The Warship was not injur-
ed and the loss to the owner of the
schooner. the National Oil Company,
of new York does not exceed $500.
The battleship squadron went out
for a course of monoeuvers this after
noon between Point Judith and New
port, but was obliged to head for this
port at noon because of a dense fog.
At a point five miles southeast Of
Point Judith the Gallup which was
bound from New York for Ports
mouth, r. l., with a cargo of empty
oil barrels below and filled casks on
deck, crossed the bow of the battleship.
The latter steaming at the rate of five
knots, struck the schooner on the star
board side below the water line, and
the water which poured in through
a hole a foot square soon filled the
Gallup and caused her to capsize. The
only persons on board were Captain
John Andrews and his son William.
They were rescued by the crew of the
Kearsarge.

Albany, n. Y, Aug. 24.-The coro-

However, Without the Co-opera-

Toledo, Ohio, Aug. 24.-Mun1clpal
ownership of public utilities was. the
question which aroused earnest discus
sion at todays session of the league Of
American municipalities. The conflict
of views among the members which
was so apparent yesterday was intensi-
fed today by Mayor Dunno, of Chicago,
whose speech in defense of municipal
ownership was the feature of today S
session. Mr.. DUNES address covered
all the points in favor of public own
ership which he advocated in his re-
cent campaign for mayor and he eX-
pressed himself as being firm in the
belief that the people of his city, along
with citizens of other cities, would
own and control these public utilities.
When asked how soon he expected to
secure public ownership in Chicago,
he replied that he did not know; that
the question had been presented by
him TO council nearly two months ago,
but that no action has been taken, and
that he is pOwerlesS to do anything
without the cooperation of council.
Mayor Woodward, of Atlanta, who
is leading the fight against municipal
ownership, replied to Mr.. Dunno, hold
ing that private ownership of utilities,
properly controlled is of greater pub
lie benefit than if owned by municipal
tiles.
