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.

KILLED BY CAVE-IN OF MINE.
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.

GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATION.
Order Decreeing: Marshall Day a
Half-Holiday In Oregon.
SALEM, Or., Feb. L The Governor's
proclamation, Issued yesterday, declaring
a half holiday February 4, 1901, John
Marshall's Day, Is as follows:
"On the fourth day of February, 1801,
John Marshall became the. 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."

to make the change, but as there Is no
good and sufficient reason for it, this pres
sure has been pushed aside, and is merely
an annoyance.
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

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.

and breadth in hi3 speech which makes
him an attractive man. 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.
