Mr.. O'Donnell stated that the report

that he was unable to confirm the

Mr.. O'Donnell also stated that re-

rumors had been received from this
section during the summer, which had
not been confirmed until several weeks
ago, when samples Of oinnibar ore
were brought to Nome from the Kus-
kokwim that carried about 81 per cent
quicksilver.

TETON IRRIGATION
PROJECT ENDORSED

Washington, OCT. 3O.-The Okanog-
an and Tieton irrigation projects were
favorably recommended at q recent
meeting Of the consulting board OF
reclamation engineers, and prospects
are bright for the early construction
Of both projects.
The Teton project contemplates the
irrigation Of about "a, 900 acres Of land
in the Yakima valley by water from
the Teton river The natural flow of
the stream near the project is sufficient
for the requirements Of the project,
and for the only canal taking water
from the river.
To satisfy existing rights below the
mouth of the Tieton river it is neces-
sary to store about 80, 900 aore-feet of
water, and reservoir sites have been
located in Dumping lake, on the head
waters Of the Naches river, ana in
either Lake Keechelus, Kaohess or Gle
Elum, on the head waters of the Yak
lima river.
The situation il complicated BY
many existing water rights which re-
quire adjudication, besides the claims
Of the indian reservation TO the water
of the Yakima river, but it is hoped
that satisfactory arrangements can be
made and early construction begun.

Gov. Douglas viii Talk to President
on the Subject.
New York Oct. 3O.-Governor
Douglas, of Massachusetts, will call
upon President Roosevelt in the near
future to lay before him the conditions
of the boot and shoe industry of the
United States and to recommend legis-
lation looking to the removal of the
tariff on hides and change in the for
eign trade relations of this country,
according to dispatch to the Herald
from Boston.
Reports were current last week that
the Central Leather Company proposed
to advance the price of sole leather.
The statements caused CONSERVATION
among the great boot and shoe manu-
afcturers of New England who have
been paying high record prices for
many months for their raw material.
So great was the wave Of opposition
among the shoemakers to tia contem-
plated advances in leather prices that
the Central company postponed-o-, at
least, did not announoe-the price ad-
vance.

from Issuing free transportation to any

CONGRESS TO GET BUSY
On INSURANCE QUESTION

chicago, Got. 30.-A dispatch to
tne Tribune from Warrington, D. c.,
says:
"Shall the United States government,
60 into the insurance business?''
This question will be asked with q
good deal OF force at the opening OF
congress. Individual representatives
from different districts, including wide.
~ separated sections of the country.
have indicated their intention to intro.
duce bills regulating life insurance
and even fire insurance business. In.
quiries have been made of the bureau
OF corporations at the department. OF
commerce and labor, and other inves.
tigators have been studying methods
in the Office Of the comptroller of the
currency. Ali these researches, az
conducted by individual congressman
had for their one object the develop.
ment OF data going to show the neces.
sity of federal control of the great in.
surance corporations.
There will be number of bills in
troduced at the opening Of congress
which will sweep away all intermedi.
ate steps and will provide that the
United States government shall 60 into
the life insurance business and into the
fire and marine insurance business "a
we'll.
OF course no one expects that any
such radical Liquidation will be passed
at this session Of congress, but several
members Of the house seem to have be-
come imbued with the idea that the
time is ripe for radical and even q
socialistio departure in the direction
Of more paternalistio theory Of gov.

THE NATURE OF ELECTRICITY
Remains One Of the Unsolved Prob
1ems Of tho Century.

Remains One Of the dissolved Prob
lems Of the Century.
Daling with the science problems Of
the twentieth century Professor A. ID.
Dolbear says concerning the ALIEN
bracing mystery Of electricity:
Here on the threshold Of the new
century we are confronted with the
question, What is electricity and the
answer implied by the question seems
to demand something which could
be described by one who knew enough.
as one would describe some new min
eral or gas or thing. Some eminent
scientific men are befogged by the
question, say it is some ultimate I'M
movable thing, and hopeless as an In
Quiry. If it be something it must
be described by its constant properties
as other things are. II it be unlike
everything else then It can not be
described by terms that apply to any
thing else. All material things have
some common properties. A glowing
coal is an incandescent solid, flame Is
an incandescent gas, but neither glow
nor fame exists apart from the matter
that exhibits the phenomena. Both
are conditions Of particular kinds Of
matter.
III electric phenomena are different
from gravitative or thermal luminous
phenomena 1t does not follow that
electricity is miraculous or that 1t is a
substance. We know pretty thorough
" what to expect from 1t, for It II
quantitatively related to mechanical
and thermal and luminous phenomena
al they are to each other; 80 II they
are conditions Of matter the presump-
ton would be strongly in favor OF cleo
tricity's being condition or property
Of matter, and the question What II
electricity would then be answered
in a way by saying 80, but such an
answer would not be the answer appar-
emily expected to the question. 70 say
it was a property Of matter would not
be much more ineligible than to say
the same of gravitation.
cat best it would add another prop
erty to the list Of properties we al
ready credit it with, as elasticity, at
traction and 20 on. In any case the
nature Of electricity remains to b
discovered and stated In terms common
to others forms Of phenomena, and It
is to be hoped that long before this
new century shall have been completed
mankind will be able to form as ade-
nnate an idea of electricity as 1t now
has Of heat"
Professor Dolbear intimates In his
article the belief that the field Of In
vestieation and research remains AZ
