YESTERDAY
PORTLAND PAPER GIVES AN
ACCOUNT OF A RACE BE-
TWEEN THE SPENCER AND
POTTER.

The Portland Telegram OF last
evening says: I'm race from As
toria Yesterday the Charles R. Spenc-
er stopped at nine landings and beat
the T. ]. Potter, the o. R. & n. ex-
cursion boat, to Portland by halt a
mile. Passengers arriving on the
steamers say they enjoyed every mile
of the trip on account of the desper-
ate effort put forth by each crew to
be the first to reach the steel bridge.
The steamers fell in with each other
off Harrington Point, near Astoria,
and both began to get up additional
steam. At $3.50 o'clock they were
half a mile above Harrington's, and
the dense clouds OF smoke issuing
from their stacks darkened the sky
in that immediate vicinity. But the
Spencer soon crawled ahead. AS she
had to stop at way landings and the
Potter was coming direct to this city,
the latter always managed to catch up
when the Spencer was delayed on
these occasions. Both carried big
lists of passengers, who stood out on
deck watching the sport and cheering
the respective crews. 1t is said the
Spencer will remain on the Portland
Astoria route permanently For awhile
she made the trip to The Dalles and
return every other day, but report
has it that this run will be abandoned

to the Columbia River bar" on the
weather map issued daily by District
Forecaster Beals at Portland. He
will still publish data concerning the
weather conditions down that way,
which will be headed Mouth of Co.

the means of eliminating the bar, and
there is no such thing remaining, he
has decided it best to make no false
assertions in his publication by con-
tinuing the stereotyped head.

The board of marine underwriters
at San Francisco have rejected all the
bids received here several days ago
for the raising Of the schooner Min
ME F. Kelton and have instructed
Captain Generaux to make another
attempt to float the submerged yes
sci. Additional gear will be secured
and it is probable that another at
tempt to raise the Kelton will be
made next Monday. That it will not
be an easy task to raise her is evi-
dent, as she is pretty badly water
soaked and her hold is probably filled
with sand.

A self-propelled apparatus for bur
rowing underneath sunken vessel,
and carrying a rope with it, has been
patented by two Italian inventors,
who claim that it can be started into
the sand on one side Of vessel and
will worm its way out on the other
side, executing a half circle. The
machine consists of two propellers or
screw augurs, set at an angle to one
another and driven by a small motor.
All the mechanism, with the excep-
ton OF the augurs, is protected by a
steel casing Electric wires connect
the motor with the surface, and these
and the rope follow the machine
through the hole it bores.

MAKES FIRST TRIP.

DOUGLAS, Dec. 4.-(Special)-
The first trip of the new Douglas
CORTLAND stage line was commenced
his morning shortly after Z O'Clock
from in front of the Pullman. Yester-
day afternoon Morris Buttner an
nounced that he had two passengers
who wanted to make the trip and that
he was ready to inangurate the SER
vice which the International American
announced on Tuesday he proposed
giving between Douglas, CORTLAND,
Leadyi1le and Gleason. This morning
four passengers and their baggage
loaded into the rig and the start of
the new stage was made. AS hereto
fore stated these trips will be made
as often as two or more passengers
desire to go until the first of the year
after which there will be a service of
three trips a week each way.
With a regular line running be-
tween the camps AMI Douglas the city
will probably speedily feel something
of an increase in business and rapid
ly secure the trade which would 9TH
erwise go to Lowell where stage
line now makes trips from time to
time. The road to Douglas is, how
ever, easier and better than to Lowell
and Douglas is the natural supply sta
ton for the new camps.

DOUGLAS, Dec. Especial. D.
The board of directors OF the Y. NJ.
G. A. held a meeting last night to
consider the filing OF the vacancy in
the Office of secretary caused b. the
resignation of former Secretary w. ID.
Eastman and his departure for Sac
ramento this morning.
No permanent secretary, satisfac-
tory to the board has as yet been
found, and under those circumstances
it was decided to ask Territorial Sec
rotary Pollard to temporarily assume
the secretarial duties of the Douglas
association in addition TO the burden
of his usual official duties until such
time as the board can permanently
and satisfactorily III the vacancy. Mr..
Pollard has agreed to this request and
he and his work, what he has done
in the past and is doing now, are so
well known as to please all.
Mr.. Eastman has done SO much
work and accomplished so much for
the association, his personality was
SO agreeable that the board are find
ing It no easy matter to name a per-
manent successor for, as a matter of
course, Mr.. Pollard could not be ex-
pected to consider for a moment a
permanent acceptance OF the Office.
1t was desired to bring r. J. Wise
back to the association here where he
was formerly social secretary and was
both successful and popular and the
board made him, an offer of the secre.
taryship and the powers of persua-
sion were duly brought to bear on INN
but failed as he positively declined to
accept.

TRYING TO MAKE
FARMERS OF APACHES
Are Encouraged To Raise Cat
tie and Till the Soil at
Reservation,

DOUGLAS, Dec. 4.-tSpeciall -
The government is putting forth
an effort to induce the Indians ON the
Apache reservation il Arizona to TIL
the soil and care for their herds,
said DR.. T. A. Bray OF the local bureau
of animal industry, who has just re-
turned to Ell Paso from White river,
the headquarters for the Fort Apache
Indian agency. Dr.. Bray was sent to
the reservation by the office of Indian
affairs, department OF interior, to in
spect 730 head of cattle which have
just been purchased for the Indians.
I'm order to carry out their aim,
the government each year, for the
past three Yeas, has given the In
-Four or five cattle 10 given each head
of family every year, pr0"ided the
Indians increase the herds and do not
kill .them OFF to eat. If an Indian
shows no disposition 10 increase mis-
cattle, he is not given others, while
the herd of his more thrifty brother
is added to each year.
THE cattle are branded in a pecui-
lar manner. The Indians go in bands
of about 100, and each band is letter
ed One band will pc known as B,
another c. and so ON. The Indians in
each band are numbered. When an
indian is given his cattle they are
branded with the letter distinguishing
his band and also with his number.
When the children are given cattle
the COW is branded with their faith,
er's number and with either a G or B,
showing the COW belongs to either a
boy or girl.
by this means the government has
developed thrift among the Indians. /
Just completed an inspection of 700
cows and 80 bulls that will be distrib
uted among the Indians"
The doctor said the government
cares for the poor Indians, but tries
to get them to work, and Is teaching
them mechanical trades, teaching
them to paint and to construct homes.
He said they do good stone work and
the girls are learning to sew.
He gives a great deal of credit to
G. w. Grouse, who is superintendent
of the agency, for the development
and advancement the Indians have
made. There are 5000 members of the
tribe on the Apache reservation and
there are 1S5 children in the school
at White river. Also Their care other
schools on the reservation
The teachings the children re
ceive, however" said DR.. Bray, care
not such that they will retain. Or
theiE return home the old bucks talk
to them in the Indian language and
they revert to Indian customs. This
however. is a condition that time
alone can change"

MANAGER ELATED
WITH MINE OUTLOOK
Two Republics Looks Better
All the Time Says
Manager Dixon,

PRESCOTT, Dec. Manager Dix
on of the Two Republics has returned
to town after his second recent visit
examination of work done
and doing. He comes back very much
pleased with the outlook-in fact. en-
thusiastic.
The tunnel is in 430 feet and the
face is full of black slate and quartz
winch carries good values in gold and
silver. Mr.. Dixon says the miners
who are working in the tunnel are
very much elated over the formation
and feel confident that the Two Re
publics will in the near future make
one of the largest mines in the south
west Some Of these men have work
ed IN tie United Verde and Copper
Chief and they say that the fOrma-
tons in those mines are very similar
to that in the Two heP;S:hlics.
Arrangements have been made 10
send plenty of supplies eut at once
enough to last for some months-as
the stormy season has set in and may
at any time block the trail.
The stockholders can rest assured
that the funds on hand are sufficient
to carry this tunnel well into the
blowout, and that the company's mon
ey is being conseryatively and honest
ly handled.
All those who have stock in the
Two Republics have right TO feel
enthusiastic, as all comyetent to judge
are of the honest opinion that some
day the name of the Two Republics
will be as famous as that of any mine
in Arizona

Sheriff Hayden was notified and
arrested Wyatt last night. He is a
man of good appearance, and seemed
surprised when told that he was want
ed for jumping his board bill in Wick
elbmg
Wyatt's defense is that he recenSIy
loaned Mrs. Roberts SIS and took as
security her note for that amount,
payable about one year hence. He
said that as long as Mrs. Roberts owed
him SIS ON the note. which, with in
terest, would exceed S77, when it pc
came due. he thought there was moth
ing criminal in eating as much at Mrs.
Roberts restaurant as the value OF
the note.
Justice Riggs viii now have to de-
eide whether or not Wyatt jumped
his board bill when he held the note
OF the boarding house keeper for an
amount eenal to the value of the ham
and eggs ne consumed.
