MORE MONEY .NECESSARY Costs More Than Expected for Ann apolis Building. WASHINGTON, Nov. '24. The. atten tion of Secretary Moody was directed to day to the fact that It would be impos sible to complete the buildings at the Naval Academy within the limit of cost fixed by Congress, owing to the very arge Increase in the price of material. When the new Academy buildings were planned Congress fixed the limit of cost at $300,000,000, and Secretary Long appor tioned this sum among the various buildings and Improvements. Since then it has been decided to erect a hospital and also to do certain dredge work In the Severn. Captain Brownson. superin tendent of the academy, who was at the academy today called the Secretary's at tention to" the fact that since 1900 the price of building material had Increased on an average of over 30. per cent. This, he told the Secretary, would make it ut terly impossible to complete the build ings within the limits fixed by Congress. It is probable that the Secretary will call the attention of Congress to the matter in his annual report. ALL ALIKE TO THE SULTAN He Mnlccs No Distinction Between Chrintinns and Mussulmans.

FOR LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP. Elevens of McMlnnrllie and Albany Colleges to Meet Thanksgiving. ALBANY, Nov. 24. (Special.) The football teams Kf AlbanyrCollcge and Mc Minnville College will contest for grid iron honors on the Rambler Park field, in this city. Thanksgiving day. This game will be the final contest for the championship pennant of the College Athletic League of Oregon, which was organized a cdbple of years ago. This league comprises the smaller denomina tional colleges of the Willamette Val ley, namely, Albany College, McMlnn vllle College, Oregon State Normil School 'at Monmouth, Pacific College (Newberg) and Dauas College. Last year, the first season of football under the supervision of the College League, the pennant for first place went to Albany College, with McMinnville College a close second. This year the status is the same, both Albany College and McMinnville College having met and vanquished all comers In the league. This year Albany, it is generally con ceded, will have no trouble In winning the Thanksgiving battle, although the boys from the Baptist Institution on the Yamhill are determined that the scjore shall not be such as to Indicate a walk over. The McMinnville aggregation de feated the Monmouth team by a score of 12 to 0, while Albany defeated the school teactiere by a score of 15 to M5. If there is anything In comparing scores, the game next Thursday should be inter esting. Then, in view of the fact that the greater game between Albany Col lege and O. A. C. will probably take place on December 6, the manager of the Albany team is very desirous of playing substitutes In the McMinnville game and saving his men for the far mers. Captain Templeton will not oc cupy his position at tackle Thursday, but will watch his men from the sidelines. Rumbaugh, Albany's right end, will also rest until the game with O. A. C, owing to a bruised shoulder received In the game with Ashland. As this season's games have shown that there is nothing gained by compar ing scores,-the Albany team will not en deavor to outdo the score of 33 to 0 piled up over McMinnville by the O. A. C. eleven, but will be content with a vic tory, saving her men for the harder con test nine days later. BASKET-BALL TEAM TO COME. Oakland Players Will Meet the Y. M. C. A.

MLNEPAYS$30,000 (ViONrH 7" RECENTLY EaUIPPBD EUREKA', IS JOSEPHINE COUNTY. Ten Stamp Mill Kept Pounding Nifcht and Day-Wngon Road and Telephone Line Bnlldinfir. GRANT'S PASS, Nov. 24. (Special.) The recently equipped Eureka mine, of the Soldier Creek district. Western Josephine County, is fast becoming one of the richest and best-producing quartz mines in Southern Oregon. What was but a hole in the ground a few brief months ago Is now a property producing $30,000 per month. The noted ancT rich Greenback mine of the Grave Creek dis trict now has an Important rival In the Southern Oregon mineral belt. The ore of the Eureka is giving average returns of $25 per ton free on the plates. Aside frtfm this the sulphurets run $10 per ton. The Eureka Is the property of the Ore gon & California Gold Fields Company, who arc. responsible for Its development and equipment. George J. Cole, president of the company, has Just returned from a visit to the mine. and. is so highly elated with the Eureka and brilliant future prospects that he has decided to Increase the General equipment and add to the convenience of the mine. A 10-stamp mill does duty at the property, and Is kept ,poundlng night and day. The interior of the mine and the outside worumgs are u lumlnated with electricity supplied by the mine's own plant. There are compressors, drills, pumps, hoists and everything per- l talnlng to a modern and up-to-date quartz mine equipment. A good wagon road Is to be built from the main county highway to the Eureka, and a telephone line put in connecting the property with the line of the Sunset Com pany and giving direct communication with the outside world. The' success of the Eureka has given a new Impetus to deep sinking on Josephine County ledges. It has proved conclusively that the min eral deposits of Southern Oregon districts are something more than mere pockets. The Eureka ledges are now exposed to a depth of over 400 feet. The veins show an average width of eight feet. The val ues are evenly distributed from wall to wall. The values are Increasing as depth Is attained. When the mill was first put In the values ran $18 per ton, and they have Increased from that figure to $33 per ton. A little over one year ago the Eureka was bonded to the Eureka Mining Com pany by the Oregon & California Gold Fields Company for $60,000. and was later purchased by them for the bonded price. During the time the mine was held under bond the present owners gave the prop erty a thorough development, and con vinced themselves of the permanence and worth of the mine. CANDIDATE FOR COUNCILMAN. J. H. HoTcnrd, Secretary Federal La ior Union, Oregon City. OREGON CITY, Nov. 24. (Special.) J. H. Howard, secretary of the Federal Labor Union, and a well-known painter of this city, has become a candidate for councilman in the -Third Ward, and his friends will put up a strong fight against C. M. Mason. The fact that Mayor DImick Is a straight Republican and J. J. Cooke, a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat,, has caused the campaign to assumo something of a political aspect that will probably reach beyond the mayoralty. Mason Is supposed to be a Populist, and the Republicans of the Third Ward pro pose to do all they can to defeat a man who Is opposed to Mayor DImick. Until today Mason had the field all to him self, "but while Mr. Howard Is not sosk 'lng the office, he will not go to sleep nor will his friends. The voting population of .ward three is largely union labor, and as" Mr. Howard Is secretary of the larg est union In the city, his supporters think he ought to win hands down. Mr. Ma son Is connected with the general mer chandise store of George W. Grace, who was defeated In the last June election for State Senator by Hon. George C. Brow nell.
