HOPE TOR THEsE PLUMBERS,

Drytown, Cal. Dec. 1.-There is some hope to-day that the eleven miners who were entombed yesterday in the Ere mont mine may still be alive. It is considered possible that the men found shelter in one of the side drifts and thereby escaped suffocation from the smoke which filled the mine.

DELEGATES FOR CONGRESS,
County Commissioners Made Appoint
ments Yesterday.

John I. Yeend and Frank Louden
were appointed delegates to the fifth
eenth annual irrigation congress by
the board of county commissioners
just prior to adjournment yesterday.
AS the board has the power to ap-
point five delegates to the congress,
opportunity is offered three more Wal
la Wallans to be made delegates.
Delegates will have many advant-
ages while at the congress and will al
so be given special rates to Sacrament
to. One of the chief features of en-
tertainment which duly appointed
delegates may enjoy is trip of
about 1000 miles over to that part
of California adjacent to Sacramento.
The only expense to which delegates
will be on this excursion will be that
of paying for their berths. In addi-
ton. there will be numerous dinners.
and other features of entertainment of
which only delegates may take ad-
vantage
In case more than five apply for
appointment, those whom the board
is not authorized to appoint can gain
appointment by applying to DR.. N. G..

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 10.-Accord-
ing to local history, Bill Quantrell, the
guerilla leader who played so i'm
portant a part in the Missouri Kan
sas border warfare of the early days,
died in the sisters hospital at Louis
vile, Kentucky.
Rev. Thomas Cobb, formerly pastor
of the Methodist Episcopal church of
this city, but now located in Oklaho-
ing the civil war.
He was cavalry recruiting officer
and at this time camped with Guam
trell for two days and had many
talks with him.
Rev. Cobb said:
"Quantrell then was in central KeL-
lucky. He was on his way to Virgin
ia and Maryland to join Mosby. He
had a skirmish with the federal troops
of the Twelfth Kentucky cavalry and
was seriously wounded. He was not
known as Quantrell during that expe-
dition, but went under the name of
Captain Folsom. One day Colonel Fol-
som asked me if I knew Quantrell
and 1 told him I did. When he asked
if I would identify him, said: 1 would
if he were dead.
"Then you will not identify him if
he is alive?" asked Colonel Folsom.
".No,'" 1 replied.
Il was taken to view body, but
it was not that of Quantrell.
"a day or two later several of Guam
trells men saw the dead body of their
leader III the Sisters hospital and at
tended his funeral in the Catholic
cemetery. This, 1 believe, is the true
story of Quantrells death and bu-
rial"

WILL RUN FOR U. OF O,

Dan Kelly will not run at James,
town under the colors of the Multno-
nah club. A letter carrying this in
formation was received by President
Mcmillan of the club, the sender being
President Campbell of the University
of Oregon. The merchants of Eugene
have raised fund with which to send
Kelly and Trainer Hayward to the big
fair, and, though the board of direc-
tors had already voted to give Kelly
the money, the champion sprinter de-
cided to accept the offer of the Eugene
merchants and to run under the colors
of the University of Oregon,
The choice of the collegian will give
some disappointment to the Multno-
nah directors, as the club has done
much for Kelly. For some time there
has been some feeling among the club
members against the athlete because
he ignored a letter sent him several
months ago by George W. Simons, the
president of the club commencing his
work at Spokane last year and ask
ing if he would run under the colors
of the club at Jamestown. Kelly never
answered the letter. A few weeks ago,
however. he wrote to H. w. Kerrigan
intimating that he would be glad to
accept the offer. The directors went
ahead and appropriated the money to
send him, but instead of accepting 1t

one sixteenth of the rate imposed in
the United States. Rural stores in
those countries are more numerous and
profitable than in former years, and find
