ROOSEVELT GUEST OF
BUSINESS MEMS LEAGUE
st. LOuisans Provide no Fairbanks or
Other Cocktails for Their
Guests.


ST. LOUIS, Oo There was a
tense moment al the Jefferson hotel
luncheon Wednesday when it was put
up to President Roosevelt to drink
his campagne or respond to dry
toast. President Smith of the Bus
mess Mems league, holding glass
Gentlemen | pledge you the
president of the United States"
All except the president rose to
their feet and nearly all quaffed the
wine.
When they resumed their seats the
president arose, reached out and
grasped the well-filled glass and
brought it close to his lips. Then,
smiling quizzically, put it back on
the table and sat down.
There was murmur of applause,
and several who had left their
glasses turned down, said aloud:
He is not going to drink it.
Instantly the president rose to his
feet again and lifted the. glass. A
second time it approached his lips,
but this time it did not stop. He
took a sip of the wine and held the
glass poised. There was burst of
applause. This time his face broke
into broad grin, and bowing to
President Smith, with one gulp he
drained his glass.
Then he looked around the table as
though defying a challenge. There
was none. Instead there was burst
of applause in which the ministers
present joined. Putting his empty
glass back on the table the presi-
dent said:
81 want to thank you heartily for
this splendid reception and through
you I want to thank your great
state"
Then turning to Mr.. Smith, he
said:
81 want to propose toast to the
Business Mems League and to eX-
press the wish that its ends may be
achieved"
This toast was drunk standing, the
president joining. Governor Folk
drank all the toasts that were pro-
posed. Sherry was the eye-opener
when the dinner began. There were
no Fairbanks or other cocktails.

WOULD LEVY ON PRISON
FOR TAXES NOT PAID
Tax Collector Shows UnuSuai Per-
sistence and Fidelity i'm Per-
fOrmance of Duty.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The 200 or
more prisoners in the Essex county,
N. j., penitentiary at Caldwell, have
just narrowly escaped being dispos-
sed-dispossessed theoretically at
any rate. Charles Jacobus, tax col
lector of Verno, a township recently
advertised the penitentiary and ap-
purtenances for sale at public auction
on October 8, to satisfy an unpaid
township tax debt of $3.50. At the
last moment E. w. Crane, county
counsellor parleyed with Jacobus and
obtained stay of sale to allow of
negotiations, and it is now said that
the county will pay the $3.50 and
place the penitentiary out of danger
of being knocked down to the highest
bidder. What the opinion of the
prisoners is cannot be exactly gauged.
1t is reported though that lemonade
and cakes were distributed among
them when the news that the peni-
tentiary was saved to the county be-
came known.

MANEUvER IN NORTH SEA

LONDON, Oct. 6.-With feet of
warships composed of twenty-five
battleships, fourteen armored cruis-
ers, ten protected cruisers and
smaller vessels, including torpedo
boat destroyers, to the number of
over sixty, comprising the Atlantic
and Channel fleets of the British navy
Lord Charles Beresford will leave
Portland about October IA for the
North sea for the autumn maneu-
vers.
Although the utmost secrecy is be-
ing observed regarding the plans for
this cruise, the greatest possible in
terest is being taken in the contem-
plated program, as it is believed that
one of the main objects is to teach
the officers what would be expected
of them by the admiralty in the event
of war with one of the great powers,
Germany particularly being men,
toned.

NAVY WILL PAY JAPS
WHOLLY FRIENDLY VISIT
laps to Have Chance to See Great
est Fighting Ships on
Water.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.--The hy-
geographic Office of the navy depart
ment is at work preparing charts and
sailing directions for the battleship
fleet, covering a cruise that will cir
cumnavigate the globe
While no official statement has
been made concerning the move
ments of the feet after its arrival
ON the Pacific coast, it is becoming
apparent that PRESIDENT itooseveft
and Secretary Metcalf have deter
mined that the ships shall visit the
Philippines, Japan and China and re-
turn to the Atlantic coast via Suez
and Europe. The purpose of the
cruise, as it develops in it's larger
phases, is to illustrate to the world
the fact that the United States now
possesses the second largest fighting
fleet in the world.
During the cruise, which is des-
tined to become historical, the fleet
will visit the ports of the leading ma
tions and thus repay the ceremonial
visits of foreign warships to the
jamestown exposition.
A month ago, in response to an in
timation from somewhere 'higher
up" orders were cabled to London
for charts and books containing de-
tailed information regarding the wa,
ters and coasts of the Asiatic coast
of the Pacific, the Indian ocean and
the route through the Suez. The
publications are issued only by the
British admiralty. The material ar
rived at the navy department today
and is to be brought up to date by
the clerks in the photographed Of
flee. Meanwhile the force has been
at work on charts and sailing direc-
tions for the fleet from New York
to San Francisco via the Straits of
Magellan and every vessel in the fleet
will soon be equipped with the in
formation.

DUCK CREEK IS
MORE ACTIVE
Famous Lead District Preparing
For Lively Campaign Of
Development.
MlII lMnpEAcE THE EnRGEe
WILL INCREASE THE FORCES
Shipments Continue From Lead King
and Frederick Proper
ties.

The progress that is being made on
the various properties in the Duck
Creek mining district is surprising to
those who have visited the district
during the last few days.
Superintendent Fred Wick, who
came here but a short time ago to
take charge of the Lead King Mining
and Milling company's property, has
made remarkable progress in the de-
velopment and improvement of the
property since he took hold.
At present no miners are at work
in the Morning Star shaft, more ia
miliarly known as the Lead King
shaft. There are now fifteen tons of
ore stacked in the main chamber of
the shaft, awaiting the arrival of
sacks. AS soon as the sacks arrive
this will be transported to the cars.
A new gallows frame will be built
at the Morning Star as soon as other
are completed.
A force of men is now working in
the new shaft of the Gray Eagle No.
2, which was begun last week. The
shaft is down only few feet, but
a fine body of vein matter has been
uncovered, which is widening and
strengthening with depth. There is
no ore in this vein matter, but it is
identical with the vein matter that
carries the highest values and the
indications are becoming better that
lead will be encountered in a short
time.
A new tunnel has been started, to
head for the Gray Eagle and the
Morning Star shafts. This tunnel has
been driven more than one foot a
day since it was started. The tunnel
is exceptionally wide and high and
will be used as an outlet for the ores
from the shafts.
Camp has been moved from the
Morning Star shaft to sheltered
point near the Gray Eagle shaft.
There, in an ideal location, a bunk
house fourteen by twenty feet, with
accommodations for twelve men has
been built. The house is substan-
TALLY constructed and will give the
men a maximum of comfort during
the winter months.
The management has also con-
structed a cook house twelve by
twenty feet in size; a superintend-
ent's office and bunk house ten by
fourteen feet, and will begin the work
on large stables and blacksmith
shops and other buildings as quickly
as the work can be reached.
The management has taken down
more than 800 sacks of ore, running
80 per cent or better in lead with
small silver values, and have mined
and ready for sacking, more than 90
additional sacks. The initial ship
ment of the season will be of be-
tween 400 and 500 sacks. The ore
will go to the smelters at Salt Lake.
Ore is being taken from the Fred
erick for shipment at this time. Man.
ager J. F. Brim is now centralizing
his attention to this feature of this
company's operations. 1t is expected
that the first shipment will be made
in the next ten days.
Four men will be started to work
on the Oswego group, owned by J
f. Brim and associates, this week
There are a number of fine surface
groupings which will be investigated
and developed. The work will be
permanent in character.
Francis Brim will leave Ely We'd
nesday to take charge of this work

MODERN DARIUS GREEN
MEETS USUAL FATE

WEBSTER, Mass, Oct. 6.-The
combination of box kite and canvas
wings worked by hand, with which
Andrew Marcek attempted to solve
the problem of aerial flight. nearly
caused his death when he gave the
invention its first trial. The trial
took place from Marcek's back ver-
anda, two stories above the ground.
After launching the kite, the inventor
adjusted his wings and boldly stepped
off into space. According to the
spectators who had been invited to
see him soar to the top of neighbor-
ing hill his forward progress amount
ed to about four feet. He came down
with a crash, landing in a tangle of
canvas and cordage. The kite broke
his fall enough to save him from seri-
GUS injury.

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. GA spe-
cial says: With an exhibition of au-
dacity and contempt for the authori-
ties, almost unparalleled, two men,
who in all probability blew ex-Sherif
Harvey X. Brown into eternity, last

in the rear of the county Jail and

would blow up the Jail The hounds
were placed on the track of the GRIM
inals, and traced them $50 feet to a
point where they entered a buggy
Last nights performance proved the
men were in the city yesterday, as
indicated by the action of the dogs,
which followed the trail easily to
certain point and then lost it, Harry
Draper said yesterday that the men
who committed the murder of Brown
were in the crowd which followed the
dogs in their work
The people of the town appear as
If stunned by the outrage, and the
subject still occupies practically ev-
cry ones attention, to the exclusion
even of business. A message was re-
ceived today from Governor George
e. Chamberlain that offered in be-
half of the state of Oregon $4,000
reward for the apprehension and con-
viction of the murderers. and Port
land friends of Mr.. Brown have Of
fered 81, 900 more. These amounts,
with the reward offered by Baker
county, total $11, 900.
The funeral of the victim occurred
this afternoon, hundreds of persons
being unable to gain admittance to
the church. The funeral cortege
reached from the church doors to
