Denver June 30.-Grant G. Gill
lette. widely known as the Cattle
King" who fled from Kansas in No
vember, 1894. after having raised
money by mortgaging thousands of
cattle belonging to others, but which
he had in charge, came to Denver
three days ago. Keeping his arrival
secret, he located three Denver cred
itors and paid them every cent due
them. Two of the Denver creditors
received S150,OO0. Both were caught
in the crash when Gillette left Wood
bine, Kan, eight years ago, and
neither expected to realize a cent.
During the eight years he had been
in hiding in Mexico, Gillette made a
fortune it is reported, from gold,
silver, and lead mines, in the Parral
district, state of Chihuhua 1t is said
he cleared $7,OOO,OOO, but it is GER
tain that he made a sum sufficient
to pay all his debts.
Several weeks ago Gillette opened
negotiations with his Kansas City
creditors. A committee of lawyers
and business men visited him in Mex
leo and arranged for a settlement. A
week ago Gillette paid them in Kan
sas City Then he came to Denver.
Gillette was 2S years of age when
he fled from Kansas. At the time
nearly every bank from Kansas City
to San Francisco held his paper. He
is now 36 years old, and came to
Denver accompanied by his wife and
son.

Walla Walla, June 3O.-Notwith-
standing that President Elliott, of the
Northern Pacific, has announced that
the Northern Pacific railroad compa-
ny is not contemplating the construc-
tion of a line down the north bank
of the Columbia river, it is evident
that road is to be built along that
route.
For several months a party of en-
gineers has been at work running
lines along the river and several days
ago surveyors were in Klickitat coun-
ty opposite Castle Rock.
A gentleman who has farm in the
southeastern portion of Klickitat
county, i'm Walla Walla yesterday
stated that over 80 men were located
near his place under the charge of
civil engineer. For the past two
weeks they have been working up and
down the river and for a great num-
her of miles they have staked off the
ground.
Last week c. E. Moulton, a former
attorney for the Northern Pacific,
was in Walla Walla and while here
he had conferences with a number
of Walla Walla people who own land
in that section of the country. Some
time ago these people were approach
ed by a man representing himself as
agent of new railroad company who
made an agreement with them for
right of way over their farms. The
right of way deeds were made out
and a small money consideration was
paid by the agent.
The deeds were placed in a local
bank, however, to be held in escrow
until the company decided whether
the right of way was desired or not.
The time limit on some of the op-
tions will expire soon, and when Mr..
Moulton was here last week he made
an effort to get the land owners to
extend the time of the options.
Whether he succeeded in each case
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-06-30

is not known, but one of the owners
refused to grant an extension.
While the officials of the Northern
Pacific disclaim any knowledge of the
movements of the surveyors and as
sert that the Northern is not interest
ed in the proposed line, a great many
people who are in a position to
know claim that the road is to be
constructed and when completed and
ready for operation that the Northern
Pacific will lease it from the company
that will build the road.

New York, June 30.-The govern
ment fiscal year which ended today
has been a ord-breaking one as
regards the value of imports entering
the port of New York. Although the
complete figures have not yet been
compiled 1t is known that the imports
for the last 12 months exceed by
nearly 5O,000,000 the entries of last
year.
1t is regarded IS significant of the
general prosperity of the country that
many of the most notable increases in
imports at New York are in the di-
rection of luxuries, such as diamonds,
automobiles, fine laces and similar
articles.
Two of the lines showing phenom-
email increases this year are sugar
and precious stones, which in the ag-
gregate are greater by $4,000, 900
than were the same imports one year
ago. The entries of cigars at this
port during the fiscal year have been
far greater than was the case one
year ago. Passengers baggage has
yielded an unusually large revenue to
the treasury, as have liquors and
wines. Textiles of every kind have
been literally imported, something
like $S,000,000 alone being invested
in expensive st. Gall or Swiss EN-
broideries. Many other imports have
made gains with the result that the
total custom house for this fiscal
year approximate s649,000, 900, as
compared with s59s, ,9OO,4sS the pre-
vious year. All things considered,
customs officials say the year has
been the most prosperous so far as
imports are concerned in the history
of the port of New York.

STATE OF WASHINGTON HAS
CONTRIBUTED OVER TWO
MILLION DOLLARS.
Fifty one Per Cent Of the Contribu-
ton Will Be Expended by the
Government.

To the whole federal irrigation fund,
amounting to little more than $685.
O00, 900, the state of Washington has
contributed, through sales of public
lands, $2,735,362. Washington is third
in the list Of states and territories in
the amount contributed to this fund,
Oregon standing first and North Da-
kota second. These facts, and many
others of SURPRISING importance to
states interested in national irriga-
ton, are shown in the annual report of
the reclamation service for 1904, which
will soon be sent to congress.
In Washington alone 4,739,490 acres
of land have been Withdrawn from
public entry, and only $1,000 acres have
thus far been restored. This does not
mean, of course, that anything like
this amount of land will be reclaimed
in the state of Washington, but it in
dictates that the effort is going to be
made to examine thoroughly into all
projects, to determine their feasibility.
One section of the federal reclamation
act provides that eventually the major
portion of the funds collected from
public land sales in a given state shall
be expended in that state for irriga-
ton. Fifty-One per cent of the funds
collected in Washington amount to
$1,395O35; and so, roughly speaking
this may be regarded as the present
irrigation fund at the disposal of the
federal irrigationists for use in the
state of Washington.

Leader Of Dual Life Loses Property.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Jan. 17.-In at
tempting to carry out a dual life ne
has been leading, U. S. Renne of
Smithland Iowa, has lost $4,000 worth
of property. He came to Smithland
in 1897 from Nebraska City, Neb., and
posed as a bachelor. He went mucn
with Miss Mary Strohm, and lately
she sued him for breach of promise.
This suit disclosed the fact that he
has wife and two children in Nebras-
ka City, to whom he had told he was
having a hard struggle for a living.
To escape judgment in Miss Strohm's
suit Renne transferred all his proper
ty to L. A. Renne, who proves to be
his wife. She found out his deception
through the newspapers and now not
only refuses to give back the $4,000 of
property but has sued to quiet title
to it.

SPOKANE SENATORIAL cANDi-
DATE SPENDS MUCH MONEY
At STATE CAPITAL.
Olympia cos.ips Are Furnished Much
Material for Notwithstanding
Of Wealth Everywhere.

One thing is sure-win or lose. that
Spokane man who is running for the
United States senate is giving the dear
people on the Sound something to
chatter about; and they are making
use of the chance.
THE ostentatious display in connec-
ton with the Sweeny senatorial fight
has kept the gossips busy and the po-
litical wise ones in a quandary to ex-
plain the effect" sneers the Seattle
Times-which wants to see a Seattle
man win, so long as his name doesn't
begin with a. W. There is a mark of
money about the whole Sweeny fight.
There is talk of money and the effect
of a barrel in the gossip that concerns
the Spokane millionaire. There is a
feeling of wealth in the lobby where
the Sweeny forces congregate. 1t is
an atmosphere of coin, and the effect
is to create the impression that money
is making the race. Even the prognos-
ticators that tell Of Sweeny's possible
victory use his possession Of money
and a willingness to spend it as basis
for their claims.
THE townspeople of Olympia have
gone through a senatorial campaign
every two years, with one exception,
since statehood. They know some
thing here as to what has happened in
the past, but the people of Olympia
never saw display eny greater than it
is now. And the people of Olympia
are gossiping.
Among tradesmen they tell of the
big bills that Sweeny is meeting daily.
They tell, for instance, that his meat
bill last Sunday alone was $50. They
whisper of the big house that Sweeny
l,os taken and put it down that he has
brought over his entire family and
seven servants.
"Of course Olympia likes to see
money spent in Olympia. That is the
reason this town made such a fight to
secure the capital. But Olympia finds
it hard to indorse the expenditures of
the daily sums that Sweeny is putting
forth, and these little bits of gossip
concerning the daily life of the candi-
date are not retold with approval
practically all of the Hotel Mitchell
is under Sweeny's control, and he has
housed there a larger corps of work.

THE old George Stevenson plan has
been carried out again. Anyone of
political influence in the home COM
munity or elsewhere that can influence
a member of the legislature is brought
here to work upon him. They come in

may be that two or half a dozen men
may be sent to bring influence to bear
upon a single members"
