PLANS FOR CHAUTAUQUA
At Three TREE POINT

Tacoma, Aug. 24.-Over 400 people
from Tacoma and Seattle accepted the
invitation Of the management Of the
Puget Sound assembly to visit and in
spect the new Chautauqus grounds
at Three Tree point. After day
spent there, the unanimous verdict
was that the place is ideal for such an
enterprise es is planned. The proper
ty consists Of over $50 acres, with two
and half miles Of waterfront and fine
sandy beach. The ground rises from
the water in gradual slopes, affordine
excellent locations for cottages. Near
the point there is opportunity to make
a natural ampitheater capable of seat
ing thousands of persons. Fine springs
supply an abundance of water. The
company has already fine water plant
and pumping station capable Of sup
plying $50, 900 gallons day, which is
carried by pipes to all the lots. The
further plans of the management con.
template the erection Of hotel, an
assem- bly, hall and other buildings. 1t
is expected that next year the assem-
bly, will be in full operation and that
some Of the best lecturers and summer
school teachers OF the country will be
in attendance.
The assembly will be under the
management Of twenty-one directors,
who will represent the various church
denominations.
On Tuesday the board held its first
meeting at Three Tree point and or
gsnized by electing Rev. A. F. Kirk.
patrick, Of Tacoma, president; 4. L.
Blaine, Of Seattle, vice president; w.
A. Spaulding, D. D., Of Seattle, secre-
tary and manager, and G. A. Congdon,
Of Seattle, treasurer.
In order to carry out the plans and
finance the scheme the corporation
has been capitalized at 800, 900, d.
vided into shares Of 800 each. The
purchase of q share of stock will emit.
tie the holder to credit Of 800 in the
purchase of lot and to certain dis
counts in the assembly fees, which
will be of very decided advantage.
The organization is in no sense mon
ey making enterprise, as none of those
conencted with it profit from the sale
of stock or lots.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
Increase Of Nearly Three Million Days
During Past Year.

Olympia, Aug. 22.-School children
in the state of Washington put in an
aggregate of 22,7O7,3O5 days attend
ance during the school year ended
June 20 last, as compared with an ag-
Rreagte of but 1898, 1893 for the pre-.
vious year.
This is one of the features of the
compilation being made at the Office
of the state superintendent from the
annual report Of the several county
superintendent. A gratifying feature
of the reports is showing that, while
the gain in actual attendance has been
2,77S, 3O7 days, the increase in allowed
attendance, which is the basis for ap-
portioning the state school funds has
bee but 1,571,SS1.
Under the provisions of the state
"barefoot boy" school bill the stronger
districts have been compelled to help
out the weaker ones. Thus country
districts. where the actual attendance
in year would run, say, to but 200
days, under the law must each be al.
lowed a minimum of 1900 days at
tendance. when the state funds are ap-
portioned. Thus the previous year,
with an actual attendance of less than
20, 900, 900, school funds were appor-
toned on basis Of allowed attend
ance of 22,244S,59. The last year,
ending June 80, 1905, allowed attend
ance aggregates but 80, 1877, TAO, which
shows a considerable decrease in the
| p roportion of allowance, considering
the growth of school population. 1t
means that the smaller districts are
having a greater actual attendance.

GUGGENHEIM ROAD
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT BY
HEAD OF GREAT FIRM.
Viii Start to Build Into Copper
River Country Early in the
Spring-Terminus is Selected,
but Will Not Be Divulged at
Present.

Seattle. Aug. 22.-Dsniel GuRgen.
helm, president Of the American Smelt-
ing and Refining Company, the Gug-
genheim Exploration Company and
several allied concerns. has confirmed
the report that his interests would
build railroad into the Copper River
country to develop the Guggenheim
properties in Alaska.
Mr.. Guggenheim arrived in Seattle
last night from Dawson and the North,
here he has been on a trip Of inspec-
ton. The Guggenheim interests have
acquired the .Tresdgold hydraulicking
concession in the Klondike district.
After investigating the difficult prob
lem Of water supply, it has been de-
cided to adopt scheme whereby wa
ter will be brought by canals for dfty
miles and in sucftiient quantity fo'
mining at reasonable cost. The ir-
rigation scheme will permit Of by
draulicking and scientific mining, cal.
culated to improve mining conditions
in the North. In the Cariboo, Atlin
and also the Copper River districts the
firm has acquired large mining inter
ests. The Cariboo Consolidated mines
at Bullion, Cariboo, we're recently pur.
chased and improved, $3.50, 900 having
been spent on canals to supply water.
Discusses Their Plans
I'VE have been gone some six weeks
from New York on trip Of investiga.
ton to confirm the reports of our en-.
gineers," said Mr.. Guggenheim last
night. ''As a result of our trip our
interests will commence the construc.
ton Of a railway Of from 800 to 60C
miles in length into the Copper Rive,
valley next spring. We also own prop
critics in the Cariboo, Atlin and Klon.
dixie districts and will at once com.
mence their development.
alaska is now the rich mans camp.
By this mean that to get the gold
one must have machinery, and that
is what we intend to do. Quartz min.
ing has been practically untouched in
the North. The amount of gold which
has been taken in this way is infinites.
imal compared with the riches Of the
country. Railroad facilities are nee.
ded to make this mining pay, and that
is what we are going to have in the
Copper River country at once. The
ore will be carried to our smelter al
Tacoma"
Terminus IL Selected
While he admitted that a gateway
port had been selected for the Copper
River railway, MIR. Guggenheim re
fused to divulge the site, saying that
it might be Valdez, Cordova bay OF
some other harbor.
The Guggenheim party left this
morning for New York. While de.
Ginning to state approximately how
much money the Guggenheims are
putting into Alaska, Mr.. Guggenheim
said, "You may imagine We are going
to spend good deal, or we wouldn't
leave our business for six weeks to
come way out here on an inspection
tour.
The Guggenheims began purchasing
Alaska properties about three years
ago. Their engineers have been in
Northern camps almost continuously
since then, and it is understood that
el5, 100000 will be invested in the
Klondike district alone.
