GoId-Sweating.

- s,ssGold-sweating is risky busi-
mess for local Chinese" said
Detective Ace Welsh this morn
ing at the conclusion of the
trial ofI2 Celestial in the Mn-
nicipal Court, IN the Telegram
of Friday. They we're arrested

Saturday night, cnt1sed vi h
playing fantan and selling lot
terry tickets. The proprietors of
the gaming houses were fneu
this morning by Judge Camera
in the following amounts: A
Wah, SIS; An Tong, s25; and
Lum Joe, $40.
Filming the Chinese for gam
bling forms small part of the
charge against them now under
investigation by Federal au-
thorities.
In the raid two gold-sweatiDe
canvas sacks were taken and
these have been turned over to a
chemist. Police detectives are
searching for the Chinese who
posted the $225 bail fer the ac-
cused gamblers last Saturday
night. This money was in gold
coin, and on investigation the
coins were found to have been
sweated. There is evidence in
possession of Detectives Murphy
Welsh and Jones which will
surely lead to arrest of suspected
parties.
City detectives have a clew to
a gold-sweating GU fit under
operation by two white men
This "plant" has not been To-
Gated, but enough evidence is in
the bands OF the police to prove
that others than Chinese have
recently been engaged in the
dangerous gold-swesting trade
Detective Welsh said this
morning he was positive
wholesale gold coin denuding
outfit was in existence in Port
land, but that efforts in detecting
the criminals might be for a
time defeated, owing to the pub
iishedaccounts of Chinese "fnd."
"There have been so many re-
ports of lightweight gold coin
that l cannot charge all the
operations to the Chinese of
Second street, but the fact re-
mains that not $40, $40 or S.
igold piece comes into circulation
through the agency of Chinese
crooked men that has not been
sweated of some of its value.
Il expect to make a report to
the Federal secret service when
it completes preliminary investi-
Igation. Two years ago gold
sweating operations were carried
lon in SEATTLE and Captain Bell,
OF the Government secret service,
succee dsd in driving the
criminals out, although be was
not successful in making his ar
rests. We will be more success
full here if the suspected crim-
finals do not get1scared out of the
city"

Still Missing.

Canyon City, Or, March ES'
Mrs. Johu L. Huffman OF
Csayon City, is still makng
anxious inquiries for her husband
who disappeared from his home
July 81.
At the time notice was sent to
the Leading newspapers of Oregon
and Washington asking for IN
formation for his whereabouts,
but La soIdate no tidings have
been received. Almost in de-
spair, Mrs. Huffman is making a
supreme effort to locate him dead
or alive.
At the time of Hufman's dis
appearance he told some friends
he was going to take trip into
the hills. He was noticed later
with a gun as if going out tor a
hunt. That was the last ever
seen of him by acquaintances,
and the ilnpressio on prevails that
he either met with an accident or
committed suicide in some lonely
out-of-the-wa spot. A diligent
search has failed to bring to light
any evidence corroborating this
theory. There is a bare po~sibil-
ity that he is alive and has either
left his wife Intentionally or mas
become so demented as to have
lost all connection with his former
identity.
He was very thin man,
weighing about. 125 pounds;
light conlplectioned, blue eyes,
hight S feet III inches, brown
Hair, inclined to curl, and short
brown mustache. He wore a

OREGON IRRIfATION.


Of all the projects conceived
by the government it is probable
that of irrigation is of the great
est Importance to Oregon.
Thousands upon thousands Of
acres that are now naught but a
desert waste are to be reclaimed.
The work is already well in hand
and ere many years where now
is to be found only sagebrush we
shall find fertile fields.
Few will deny that aside from
the construction of the Panama
canal the irrigation project IS the
greatest undertaken by our gov
ernment within the last forty
years. The irrigation or reclaim
alton fund amounts to % million
dollars and provision is made for
it's increase at the rate of A mil
lion dollars per annum.
The first great work of re-
clamation is completed. It is in
Nevada and many hundred
thousand acres will soon be
opened up and settled, where
hitherto there was not enough to
maintain a jackrabbit. The N6a
ers of the Truckee river ave
been carried onto tlae - and
soon farms will be d efSGted a6aa
homes provided dreds of our
families who d6erwise would
have been una1Re to secure
places of abode where they might
wrest from nature the necessities
of lie.
This work is reported to have
been well done. 1t is the opinion
of competent engineers that the
main canal will last forcenturies,
as it is made of ceneat. When
the present plans Of the govern
ment are carried out there will
have been added to the public
domain several million acres Of
tiIlable land. This viii diyid-
Fed and allotted in small tracts for
the benefit of our citizens and it
is but a question OF time, a short
time -. when these small

all of these projects Oregon will
be especially favored and will re-
