Attendance at State University Promises to Break All Records. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. EUGENE, Oct. 29. The number of students at the University of Oregon is increasing rapid ly, and will, from all indications, go be yond that of last year. As the number last year showed an unusually large in crease, the membership for the present year will be seen to be very satisfactory. The many opportunities for -work this Summer and the high wages offered, to gether with the remarkably favorable -weather, have kept back until late many students who have io work their way through the university. Those students are now coming in more rapidly than last year at this time. The best Indications that the university has seen for some years, as far as stu dents are concerned, are the following: Firs't, the university is getting more stu dents from Portland than ever before. Students from the largest city of the state, instead of going to Berkeley or Stanford, are, in increasing numbers, turning to the -university of their own state. This tendency has its origin, part ly -at any rate, in the growing conviction that the equipment of the University of Oregon, the character of its teachers and work done, warrant the attention of the bost. students. Partly, it is the result of the conviction that the student's chances for solid, work are very much better in a smaller institution where the crowd of students is not so great as to seriously limit the opportunities for laboratory work and individual work in recitations. Second, the university is getting a bet ter class of students than ever before. Tbey are better prepared, have had more consecutive training and are capable of a higher grade of work than ever be fore. The bearing of this upon the gen eral scholarship standard of the university is. evident. Third, the university is securing a more permanent student body than for some years. That is. It is setting students who come for a consecutive course of training, for regular, continued, systematic work, without -which the best grade of scholar ship is impossible. This has been and is now one definite aim of 'the university, and to secure it the university is very willing to sacrifice for a season mere numbers. Pacific University Notes. PACIFIC UNIVERSITY. FOREST Gj-ove, OcL 30. At an assembly of the student body held this morning H. E. Thomas, 05, A. C. Gilbert, '05, W. A. Dimick, 02, Irving D. Gibson, '04, E. C. Dye, '04, were elected to serve as a per manent auditing committee of student body finances. There has been considerable discussion as to the province of officers of the stu dent body, and previously an organiza tion known as the Athletic Union, com posed of students, had charge of athletics in general. Upon the organization of the student body last year the duties for merly fulfilled by the officers of the Ath letic Union largely devolved upon those of the student body organization, and It ih now proposed to abolish the- union and have athletics directed by the same power as other student interests. RAIN'S BENEFITED APPLES. Rogrne River Valley Crop Improved In Sire and Quality. ASHLAND. Or., Oct 30. The rains dur ing the .eailier part of the present month and the Jong spell of bright and warm days which followed them proved to be of immense benefit to the apple' crop of the Rogue River Valley. Many of the apple trees on which the fruit was not of a strictly first-class marketable condition, on account of the early dry weather, took on increased vigor, and the fruit they bore was greatly Improved in both size and appearance, "and the year's crop greatly enlarged thereby. The firm of Olwell Bros., of Central Point, who are. In all probability, the largest growers of apples In , Southern Oregon, have gathered their crop of ap ples for the season. It will amount to -JO cars of COO boxes each, which amount Is one of their average crops. Had the rains come a .trifle earlier, the output of their orchard would have been doubled. AH of the Newtown J?ipplns grown by the Olwel' Bros, .have been contracted tor the London. England, market, to reaqh' which the cost per cjit is 5600. During the picking season about 70 men were em ploea in the dwell orchards. , . - OYSTERS THRIVING AT YAQUIXA.i Biolosrist Washburn Says Specimen Sent Him Is Product of the Bay. EUGENE, Or., OcL 30.

BOHEMIA MINING DISTRICT New Railway for Tbis CampDivi dends Paid by Noted Company.' The railway that will be built from Cottage Grove to the Bohemia district, about 40 miles from that point, win open up a mining district of great richness. Capital has been slow to .recognize the splendid showing made by a number of properties in Bohemia, but capital is al ways timid, and the lack of proper facil ities for bringing ore to the market Has prevented the investment of large sums of money. With the completion of the railway ore can be brought to the smelt ers at greatly reduced cost. Several hun dred thousand dollars has been extracted from the free-milling ores of the Bohemia district, but as depth Is attained, base ore predominates, with Increased values. The result of persistent work in the Hel ena mine shows clearly that gold in pay ing quantity, even with present facili ties for handling, can be taken from the upper ledges. This company, since April 1, 1900, has paid In dividends to stockholders $104,000. an excellent showing, considering the difficulties encountered. There are a number of other properties adjacent to the Helena considered equally as rich. TEMPEST MINE SOLD. Concentrating Plant Will Be Put in Placer Ground Change Hqnds. BAKER CITY. Oct. 30. E. A.

This mine has been operated with varied suc cess for several years. Mr. Frenzei will erect a concentrating plant for the pur pose of treating the ores. The ore is base, and Mr. Frenzei believes he can de vise a plan of treatment which will be successful, and in time make the Tempest mine one of the great producers of this part of the state. In addition to the purchase of the Tem pest mine, Mr. Frenzei has bought 320 acres of placer-gold ground on Gold Creek, together with ample water rights for the working of the same. The placer claim has never been worked to any extent, but is said to be exceedingly rich. Mr. Frenzei first heard of the Eastern Oregon gold fields in Seattle, after re turning from Alaska, and he determined to look the ground over himself 'and 9ee what he could find. He has purchased the mines heretofore referred to for him self. Oregon 31iniuK Stock. Exchange, Yestfefday's quotatlons'on the Dregon Mining Stock Exchange were: Bid.

TVIn(ter had set in in earnest .at Nome when the steamer Queen,, which arrived from the North today, sailed on October 23. vThe thermometer had been falling for a week, and when the Queen . sailed a blinding snofr storm was raging. The steamer brought down a number of the more , important Nome personages- who waited until the last boats sailed. Her passenger list numbered about 800. Only the" small steamer Arctic was left at Nome. . The Roanoke had left 'four days ahead of the Queen for Dutch Harb'orl Passengers on the Queen report that 500 men were left at Nome, "all of whom are penniless, with no means of making a liv-ing-fluring the Winter, and a reign of ter- - HtVttMtMttt fr--0 AN OREGON - 000ti ror is predicted. There were 100 stow aways on the Queen who succeeded in boarding the vessel by climbing up the anchor chains, ropes, etc., while she lay at anchor In the roadway. During the entire voyage, petty thefts were of daily occurrence, and all had to carry their valuables on their persons. The second day out from Nome a passenger fell down an. open hatchway, sustaining serious in jury. The steamer had a good voyage until within the last 48 hours before reaching Cape Flattery, at which time she was overtaken by a wind storm directly astern. The gale rose to 46 miles an hour, and the seas ran mountain high. The culmi nation .came Monday night, when the ship took to rolling heavily, and just at the hour of change of watch, 4 A. M., she took a final plunge and a turn, which for the moment threatened to roll her com pletely over. She rolled over 'to the port side very nearly beyond the point of turn ing back. At the same moment she was struck amidships by a tremendous sea, which stove In some. of the staterooms, broke In the doors of the main saloon and sent tons of water Into the dining saloon, pantry and kitchen, and flooded the lower cabins. The electric lights went mif flnH in nrr tn ia nnrfitcnn ai danger, a live wire started a smoke, ana j some excited passengers started the cry of fire. Cool heads, however, prevented a panic and the only inconvenience suffered by the passengers was a very late and a very meager breakfast The understand ing was that there was an accident in making the 4 o'clock shift, by which the tiller was not well handled, and the ship lost her rudder for the moment. On the Queen were six Federal prison ers, Thomas Morton, James Campbell, J. E. Martin, G. N. Stockslager, F. B. Co nant and one woman, bound for the pen-" itentiary a McNeill's Island, under sen tences of from two to six years. The Queen reports the little schooner J. F.

SOUTH BEND, Oct. 30. The price of salmon has been cut again by P. O. Barnes.. The price has been 5 cents apiece for dog salmon, 10 cents for silver sides and 15 cents for Fall chinook salmon, but from now on the price will be 3 cents for dog salmon, 5 cents for sllversldes and 10 cents for large salmon. Prices have not been as low as this for years, and It Is not expected that many will fish at these figures, but, as It Is now, the run of fish Is so heavy that it will take but few fishermen to supply the canneries, Mr. Barnes asserts that tho bottom has fallen out of the salmon mar ket, and there is no sale for Fall salmon. Thus far the heavy run in this bay has been dog salmon, but now sllversldes are becoming more plentiful. OREGON ON THE DRYDOCK. The Great Battle-Ship Is to Be Given n Thorough Overhauling.

Later he wl",l be given .a general overhauling and painting. More than ordinary care was necessary on account of the strained keel, and for many days prior to the docking traordlnary preparations were made for the reception of the big war vessel. In order that she might rest gently on tho blocks, instead of pumping all the water from the dock, as Is usually the case, the removal of water was only about six feet. She was then placed in position and two divers entered tho water to adjust wedges and blocks car,o fully about the keel before any great part of the weight of the battle-ship was allowed to rest. The remainder of the water has since been pumped from the dock, and the damaged part of tho hull exposed. MOLDERS' STRIKE SETTLED. Tacoma and Seattle Unions Get Con cevsionB From Employers.

"If I did not know positively and ab3o lutely that my ,new home treatment will cure alL diseases of men. even when all other methods of treatment fall, I would consider I-was committing a crime to make such a statement to the public. Nothing Is so precious to a man as, his health nothing so horrible as an Insane Asylum or the grave. Lltfle ills, if not promptly cured, often result in obstinate chronic diseases. I know that my new dis covery is the most marvelous treatment ever known, and I intend to give its benefit to the world. I intend that every man. woman and child who comes for treatment shall have it. I propose to tell the sick, absolutely free of charge, if they may be restored to perfect health. I would rather be a benefactor to the sick man than to have the wealth of Crcseus." The above are remarkable words, but those who know Dr. Kes3ler. and have tried his treatment, can vouch for their absolute truthfulness. He restores the wasted power of sexual manhood. He also cures to stay cured VARICOCELE. STRICTURE SYPHILTIC BLOOD POISON, NERVO-SEXUAL DEBILITY and all associate dteehses and weaknesses of man.
