GUGGENHE|MS TAKE
OPTION ON BIG MINE
Parties Representing Guggenheims Take Option at ST.
100000 on Big Copper Proposition at Twisp-0ne of
the Great Mines of the Future Prospective Sale Be-
lieved to Have Bearing on the Railroad Situation.

Guggenheims have taken an op-
ton on the Alder mine, the price be-
ing set at $1,500,000. The Alder
mine is said to be one of the best
copper propositions In the country,
a very large vein of the ore being
in sight. This vein Is seventy feet
across and the ore is of fine quality.
Thousands of tons of rich mineral
is in sight and it is generally regard
ed that this Is one of the best pro-
positions in the whole Okanogan.
All that is needed to make this a
mine of mammoth proportions is the
building of railroad, and the fact
that the Guggenheims have now Sc
cured control of it, is believed to
have a bearing upon the railroad
situation in the Methow. 1t is not
improbable that the Guggenheims
have an interest in the proposed rail-
road. The Alder mine is located
one mile from Twisp and has been
owned by local parties.

HOT WEATHER IN

Three Deaths in Chicago
Davenport and Cincinnati
Report 81 Degrees.

Chicago, June 27.-Despite the
lower temperature of today and the
cooling breezes that famed hot Chi
cago, three deaths, more or less d.
rectly due to the heat, and one heat
prostration, were reported to the
police.
A continuation of today's temper
ature and breezes is predicted for
tomorrow.
Thousands of persons sought re-
lief from the heat at the various
bathing beaches, the amusement
parks and the public parks. All the
big lake steamers carried capacity
crowds, and scores of smaller craft
laden with comfort seeking human
cargoes piled up and down the shore
line.
While the maximum temperature
in Chicago today was 70 degrees, the
middle west, away from the shores
of the great lakes, did not escape
so easily. In Cincinnati the mercury
climbed to 80 degrees. In Daven-
port, Iowa, it was "a degrees, in In

WIRELESS OFFICER
SUES MILLER
Said to Have Given Note for
$4,000 to George H.
Parker.

Among those who bought Wireless
stock was Philip Miller, who is said
to have purchased to the amount of
$4,000 worth. OF this he paid
$4,000 cash and gave his note for
$4,000 more. Geo. H. Parker, who
has had charge of the Seattle agen-
cy, is now trying to enforce collec-
ton of the $1,000 note. Miller will
resist the suit.
There is strong sentiment
against all those connected with the
Wireless company, and if this SEN
timent materializes into anything
definite, it is not improbable that
those connected with the company
may be arrested in this state.

Reno, June 27.-The last week OF
preparations for the Fourth of July
struggle for supremacy between JEFF
fries and Johnson opened at Reno
without any of the excitement which
marked it's immediate predecessors.
Great progress is being made in the
construction of the arena which will
be ready in time for the fight.
Both fighters are in splendid trim.
The high altitude seems not to have
affected either man. jeff did eleven
rounds of boxing this morning. He
alternated with Choynski, Corbett
Armstrong, Berger and Burns. II
was furious, and the final round with
Berger had the earmarks of a real
fight.
The big smoke was on the road
for eight miles this morning, and
after his big body had been rubbed
and manipulated by his handlers he
said he was feeling fine; never was
better" and he looked it. He will
do some boxing and gymnasium
work this afternoon.

Said to Be Going Ahead
With Plans for Increase
of Equipment.
INCLUDED IN REPORT
Will File Tariff Sheets, and
Think Commission Will
Consider Them Fair.

New York, June 27.-Develop-
ments in the freight rate situation
indicate that the big carriers both
in the Eastern and Western shipping
zones have anticipated the decision
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion to the extent of considering the
fight won.
The press is informed by a high
authority in railway circles that the
New York Central, the Lehigh VAL
ley, the St. Louis & San Francisco,
among others expect to be permit
ted to file their new tariff schedules
within the next 80 days.
This rate schedule will represent
a decided increase over present rates
and will be practically the same as
that held up by the Taft injunction,
and subsequently withdrawn at the
request of the President.
Have Secret Assurance.
It is on the strength of this Sc
cret assurance from Washington as
to the outcome of the government
investigation into the fairness of the
proposed increase that it included
capitalization to the extent of ST.
770,550 for new equipment and inn
provements which has been voted by
four of the railroads concerned, it
is said.
Only within the last few days has
the public announcement been made
definitely that the railroads would
go ahead with these colossal expen-
ditures. The plans for the improve
ment decided upon many months ago
has given much publicity in an eff
fort to show the public the necessity
of increased rates to offset the add
ed outlay of capital. Then when the
government interfered through in
junction proceedings, these improve
ments were called off,
MONEY IOr L4uApHiSHC.
President W. G. Brown of the New
York General lines; P. D. Under
wood, president of the Erie, and 9TH
ers, charged in public statements
that the injunction proceedings rep
resented a direct slap at the pros
perity of the nation.
The howl that came from railroad
officialdom echoed from the Allan
tic to the Pacific. All declared alike
that no move looking to the pur-
chase of new equipment or extern
sions needed to handle the growing
freight traffic could be made unless
rates were advanced.
The fact that now, before the In
terstate Commerce Commission has
had time to take up the matter Sc
riously, the roads involved have
planned to go ahead with the vast
expenditures enumerated, led the
International News Service to make
an investigation.

Washington, D. c., June 27.-I
leave behind me the contest Of this
winter in the House with malice to-
ward none"
With these words, amid perfect
silence, Speaker Joseph G. Cannon.
at II o'clock Saturday night, ad-
journed the House for the second
session of the sixty-first congress
For five minutes in a low monotone,
Cannon spoke. No other sound was
heard. When he finished, the APP
plause was moderate and the leave
taking of the members unusually
quiet. The absence of the usual up
roarous termination was surprising
to many, but followed night ses-
sion that was full of serious work.
Where men act in great deliber-
ative bodies,' said Cannon, there
are some men, earnest and positive,
who say that which were the circum-
stances otherwise they would not
say. So, upon a sober second
thought, broad men realized that
earnest, positive men are not to be
held responsible for that which, un-
der the influence of passion, they
say and which they would not say
in moments when they were cool.
No Apologies to Make.
LAS this session is about to close,
as one member and as the speaker,
wish to say that 1 pass from Wash
ington to my home, putting behind
me the contest through which this
House has passed, and l go with
malice toward none. 1 have nothing
to apologize for as a member or as
speaker. | presume each member OF
this house can now say the same.
And so the chair adjourns this
House, wishing each member health
during the vacation period, hoping
that we may meet in next December
looking not backward, but forward,
to the duties which we must per-
form"
Late Saturday night scene that
dazzIed old timers was enacted on
the floor of the Seuate. AS long as
anybody can remember, when Sen
ator Shelby NJ. Cullom fixed his gaze
on the vice president, it was a sign
of an executive session. He arose
in the usual way and made the usu-
al motion half an hour before ad-
journment but not with the usual
result
Beauteous Hundreds Win.
Senator Eugene Hale looked at
the beauteous hundreds in the gal
leries and observed that it was abb
surd to suggest that the galleries be
cleared for secret session. Other
senators Joined in the Hale opinion.
The Cullom motion was lost, much
to the disgust of the patriarch from
Illinois. Cullom and William Lori
mer had agreed upon number OF
Illinois appointments they wished to
have confirmed.
Their confirmation was defeated
because these senators would not
discommode the women in the gal
leries. President w. H. Taft prob
ably will repair the damage by CIV
ing them recess appointments.
Shortly before the closing hour
the Senate passed a resolution prais-
inb the fairness of the Vice Presi-
dent as presiding officer. Vice
President James S. Sherman replied
with speech expressive of his ap-
preciaton and gratitude and the Sem
ate then adjourned sine die.
