THE MOHNIXG OHEGONLAN, SATURD.AY FEBRUARY 2, 1901. LEAVE FOR TACOMA Washington Legislators Off to View Capitol Site. HOST OF STATE OFFICIALS GO IThurston County Not Over-Jubilant at Big: Delegation, Bnt Its Pol iticians Are Not Mnch Exer cised Over Situation. OIjTMPIA, Feb. L The special ex cursion to Tacoma to view "Wright Parle, offered the state as a Capitol site, left this city shortly after 1 o'clock today. There "were very few Legislators, state officials, or employes who did not take advantage of Tacoma's Invitation, con sequently Olympia is deserted tonight. The average resident of Thurston County was far from jubilant when the train with the excursionists aboard pulled out today. Many of them felt that Ta coma's royal entertainment, which in cludes a banquet, would cause some doubtful legislators to take up the cry of Tacoma as the future capital city, and these votes joined with those already pledged to the City of Destiny would put Olympia out of the race. But the Olym pia politicians who believe they know the situation were not much exercised. They are satisfied, they say. that Ta coma should wine and dine the Legisla tors, but when It comes to voting on Mr. Easterday"s bill, the hospitality, while not forgotten, will not Influence them. The Legislature did little work today. The members were too busy planning for the Tacoma trip. The House and Senate met at 10 o'clock and adjourned before noon. They will not meet again until Monday afternoon. IS THE SENATE. Bill Amending Jury Lair Passed Mrs. Nation nnd Her Hatchet. OLYMPIA, Wash., Feb. 1. The Senate -was In session only a short time today. Two bills were passed. The first was by Rands of Clark, amending the jury law so as to permit single men, who are freeholders, to serve on grand and petit juries. The present law limits jury serv ice to householders. The other was by Cornwell of "Walla Walla, making larceny from the person, pocket-picking, a felony. Heretofore the gravity of the offense has been regulated by the amount stolen, being either grand or petit larceny. Rands of Clark precipitated a laugh by offering the following resolution: "Whereas, Mrs. Nation, of Kansas, has amply demonstrated her ability to de molish joints, conquer and control state and other officers, and settle questions of difficult nature: and. "Whereas, The officers of this common wealth, including the legislators, are con fronted with difficult problems which they find themselves unable to solve and settle, to-wlt, the railroad. Courthouse and capltol removal questions; and, "Whereas, The City of Olympia is hav ing serious trouble with its joints, and Is much vexed by the Courthouse, the Capitol and other questions; therefore, be it "Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Washing ton, That Mrs. Nation be and she hereby la Invited to come to Olympia and to bring with her her little hatchet, for the pur pose of settling all the questions herein before mentioned: and be it further "Resolved, That all matters hereinbe fore mentioned be. upon her arrival, turned over to her, the said Mrs. Na tion, for settlement." The resolution was referred to the com mittee on public morals. A message was read from Governor Rogers, announcing the appointment of State Senator Herman D. Crow (Rep.), of Spokane, as Regent of the Agricultural College, to , succeed F. D. W. Mays, of Pomeroy, whom the Senate recently re fused to confirm. The appointment holds until March, at which time It is said Senator Crow will be reappointed. Sen ator Crow was in his seat when the ap pointment was announced, and after con siderable joking at his expense, It waa unanimously confirmed. At the conclusion of the morning ses sion the Senate adjourned until Monday afternoon. IN THE nOUSE. Report Ravorlnsc Hnnna-Pnyne Sub sidy Adopted Other Bills. OLYMPIA, Wash., Feb. 1. In the House this morning, Merritt (Dem.) in troduced a bill abolishing the present Board of Audit and Control, consisting of five members, and creating a new board of three members, to be paid a salary of J2000 each, as recommended by Gover nor Rogers.

Trro Miners Buried Under Debris One of the Bodies Recovered. SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. L-Two miners W. C. Fisher and George Greggor, wore killed Wednesday afternoon at Franklin in King County, by a cave-In of mine No. 7. of the Pacific Coast Company, where they were employed. No details of the accident wore received In this city until this evening, owing to the absence of telegraphic communication. The cause of the cave-In Is unknown, but a Coroner's jury, empaneled to hear evidence in the case of Greggor, today returned a verdict of unavoidable acci dent. The body of Greggor was recovered by the miners after 24 hours' hard work, but that of Fisher is not yet found. The mine officials state that the search will be continued until successful. State Mine Inspector C F.'Owen is on the ground, and will make a careful ex amination Into the causes of the acci dent. The two men who were killed were of mature years, and had no one de pendent upon them. The officials of the Pacific Coast Com pany state that the damages to the mine have not yet been estimated, but will probably be quite heavy. Literally Roasted to Death. SEATTLE. Feb. L Two fatal accidents in the Klondike, and a third which will probably result In the death of Its victim, are reported from Dawson. January 23, according to telegraphic advices received in Skagway, Superintendent Lester, of No. 2 Bonanza, ell Into the shaft of the mine, being literally roasted to death in a fire. Two days previous to the Lester fatality, caving earth in a shaft of No. 45 Bonanza crushed out tho life of Albert Kronqulst. William Dougherty, a miner employed on No. 24 Eldorado, was struck by a fall ing umher, the blow crushing his skuii so that recovery Is next to Impossible. MINING IS RESUMED. Blue River Has Received Supplies Savr Mill In Sprint;. BLUE RIVER, Or., Feb. L Mining ac tivity, which was brought to a standstill by the heavy snow storm commencing on New Year's day, has been resumed, al though there is still from three to six feet of snow In most parts of the district. The greatest difficulty has been In get ting in supplies, but this has been over come in part by breaking trails through the snow. The Lucky Boy, Treasure, Sunset, Doctor and others are compelled to pack supplies In on horses from Van duyn's cabin at the mouth of Quartz Creek. The Gate Creek road Is still closed and there Is very little being done on Gold Hill. The Lucky Boy road Is open for pack horses. C. H. Park, the London mining capital ist, who recently bonded the Treasure, has a force of three men at work devel oping this property. He will put on a large crew In the Spring, and if the prop erty holds up to expectations a mill will soon be forthcoming. C. M. and C. W. Young, of Eugene, have bonded the Sunset from heirs of the late J. W. White. As this property is in liti gation the outcome of this new deal will be watched with Interest. At the time of White's death the mine was held by Dr. C. F. Candiani, under contract, who still alleges his right to the property. The Sunset has shown the richest ore In Bue River, milling upwards of $60 to the ton at the surface. The clalmis not very ex tensively developed yet, however. C. W. Young came up last week with two wagon-loads of supplies, and is expected to return again In a few days, when he will put a crew of men at work on the Sunset. No "Wood nt Lucky Boy. Tho Lucky Boy is still temporarily closed down, owing to a lack of wood and tunnel timbers, neither of which can be obtained until the present depth of the snow Is greatly reduced. Nearly all of the crew has gone out. When the mine closed down a 30-foot ledge of very rich ore was being milled. Superintendent Sharkey is now In Portland and while there expects to place an order for five more stamps, which will be added to the mill In the Spring, making It a 15-stamp mill. The Lucky Boy Company has se cured a water right on Blue River and is talking of erecting an electric plant and large mill. In a general way Blue River Is advanc ing steadily In permanent development, and the coming season promises to see even greater activity than last season. Mining experts have believed all along that Judging from the formation of the district the ore Increased in value and quantity with depth. So far as demon strated, almost without exception, this has proved true. Properties that have been uncovered have grown In value right along, and there are now at least half a dozen claims In the district that are ready to receive mills. Savr Mill to Be Built. Last season a number who were inter ested in getting building material were disappointed in a saw mill, which was to have been erected at the Blue River bridge. A sawmill Is a certainty this sea son, however. It will be built by S. C. Sparks, who will follow it with a commo dious hotel building. Other buildings will doubtless be erected on the Blue River townsite. A general supply store Is greatly needed and no doubt will soon be established. Quotations of Mining' Stocks. SPOKANE, Feb. 1.

Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, and served in that capacity until his death, 34 years later. During his long and distinguished career as the pre siding Justice of our highest court, he became a standard authority on all con stitutional questions, and his opinions stand as the product of great learning and profound research. His extended serv ices in that exalted position, together with his illustrious record, render it fitting that public observance should be made of the centennial anniversary of the day upon which he began his great life-work. That this object may be more fully at tained, the afternoon of the fourth day of February. 1901, is hereby declared to be a half-holiday, and It Is recommended that wherever public exercises are held In commemoration of the day, our people abstain, as far as possible, from their usual -vocations and unite in doing honor to the memory of the great Chief Justice who stands in the front rank of those whose achievements give luster to our national name."

It Is generally admitted by the leading officials of the department that Vancou ver Barracks is today the most perfect location for department headquarters and a large Army post on the Pacific Coast, and Its abandonment would not only mean surrendering an ideal location, but a waste of hundreds of thousands of dol lars, which have been spent In building the post up to Its present standard. One official did not hesitate to say that the proposed change is prompted by Seattle for purely selfish reasons; that Seattle hag no site for headquarters, but hopes to rent the Government all necessary quarters and equipment at exorbitant prices. Representative Jones today Introduced a bill which provides that after January L 1903, no foreign ship shall bring imports Into this country from any save its own country, although all may carry cargoes from the United States.

MbU Whmkw " I had been troubled with rheu matism all my life, even when a boy. It attacked me in the legs, arms and shoulders. The pain in the latter was particularly severe. I, of course, took med icine for it, bnt did not obtain permanent relief. One day about three years ago while reading a newspaper, I saw an advertise ment of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and determined to give them a trial. I had taken but three boxes of the p'lls when the trouble, which had been my affliction from childhood, entirely disappeared. "About a year later, I had an other attack of rheumatism which was brought on by working in a damp place. I remembered well what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People had done for me, so I Immediately purchased some. Strangely enough J ust three boxes again cured me, and I have been entirely free from rheumatism ever since. I have tolda numbor of people about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People, and they have taken them with the most beneficial results. W. J. D ALTOS', Secretary Board of Trade, Wellsburg, N.Y.

He is unable to see that the sun of England's glory is setting with the end of Victoria's reign, and he judges that country, we think, with more fairness than he does his own. Of England, he says, wisely: I believe that England Is to maintain herself with unabated strength for the coming cen tury and for many centuries to come. I can myself remember many periods when It was the fashion to say that tho strength of Eng land was decaying, and that she had passed the height of her prosperity and that the symptoms of sure decay were manifesting themselves. Some people are talking so now, Undoubtedly she has to encounter the sharp commercial rivalry of tho United Slates. I should Ho If I were to say that I either hope or believe we were to coma off second bes-. In that mighty encounter. But there Is. room yet on this planet for both. England can remain great and can grow moro rapidly than sho has ever grown In tho past, and still leave room enough for us. Na tional strength Is the result of national char acter. The English people were never fitter than now to deal with tho new and great and dangerous problems which the near approach to each other of the four quarters of the world bring to her statesmanship for solution. The English pluck, the aptness for command, the habit of success, the alert Intelligence, the Inventive power. Industry, courage, ore hers as never before, and as they never belonged to any other people, unless It were to a people of her race. Her great colonies are to her as mighty buttresses.
