THE MORNING OREGOIAN, THURSDAY, JAflUABY 29, 1903. DEATHINSNOWSLID Destructive Av'alanche at Park City, Utah. THREE KILLED, SEVEN INJURED SbafthoHse Is Svrept Into Vnlley Be 1 o lie scuers Quickly at "W'orlc More Slides Are Expected to Follow. SALT LAKE CITY. Jan. 2S. A special to the Tribune from Park City, Utah, says: A snow slide occurred here oarly this morning that killed three miners outright and injured several others. It swept down from the high mountain that overhung the Qulncy shafthouse, carrying the structure down into the valley below, and in Its course wrought untold other damage. The killed; John Gaffney, engineer, single. E. J. Colter, station tender, married. Charles D. Frink, fireman, single. The injured: Con Shay, foreman for the Qulncy. George Burt. Peter Burt. Mike Wynn, shift boss. Bates Noble. David Coleman, serious. Hobert Giles. This is the first accident of the kind that has occurred at Park City since March 10. 1895, when four men were killed at the old Daly, which is located close to the work ings of the Qulncy. The cause for the snow slide Is the fact that the heavy storms that have raged during the past few days In this locality have so packed the snow In the mountains that It had to come. The snow has melted considerably of late around the lower parts of the mountains, and the slush that was formed in this manner was not strong enough to hold back the tremen; dous weight of the banks above. As soon as the accident happoned the alarm spread rapidly, and In less than half an hour after the occurrence there were more rescuers at work at the Qulncy than were needed. Ail work in the locality was suspended, and the work of rescuing the unfortunates was pushed energetically. It is not thought that there are any more persons covered by the slide. It is feared, however, that more slides will take place soon, and excitement in the city is great. The storm has quieted down somewhat, hut this evening it Is expected that the hurricane that began about dusk will un doubtedly bring down more of the snow from the mountaina If It is shaken or dis placed In any manner near the top, it must certainly force its way into the val leys over the slippery and insecure base lines. A light snow Is falling at the pres ent time, which has an ominous look The most danger now seems to be to the properties situated in Thayne Canyon, Quite a distance from the Qulncy. Here are. located the California, Comstock and Keystone mines. The Thayne Canyon is much deeper than, the one where the Qulncy mine is. All work at the mines in Thayne Canyon has been abandoned, and the men have started Into the city. When he report of the accident at the Qulncy -was received about a third of the Bhlft from the mine that was off when the avalancho -descended were hurried out to the workings to rescue their fellow-workmen. The eight men who had been caught in the slide were quickly uncovered. A ninth man, who had been partially burled With a team of four horses, managed to uncover himself. Con Shay, the foreman, also managed to dig himself out. Those who were injured were cut and bruised. The accident has practically paralyzed Tvorlc at the Daly West mill. The millmen Sot the Daly West have only one way by -which to reach their work, and that Is through the tunnel that runs from the city. It is four miles long, and Is said to be blockaded at the farther end. VAIVCOUVBR PEOPLK AROUSED. Commercial Club Actlve for Hlvcr Improvement. "VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. .-(Special.) The Vancouver Commercial Club met last V.ight for the first time in about a year. The attendance was large, owing probably to the fact that the question of the improvement of the river at this place would be up for consideration. A com mittee, consisting of W. E. Stowe, H J BIddle, P. H. Kuhn, II. W. Arnold, A. B. Eastham, Dan Crowley, John H. Elwell and W. P. Crawford, was appointed to collect statistics of the .amount of ton nage at this port, the same to be for warded to Congressman Jones, to enable him to get a sufficient appropriation for the necessary work to be done on the river. It -was also decided to take steps toward the creation of the Port of Vancouver Commission, which would . have power o levy a tax for the improvement of the harbcr here L. B. Clough, W. W. Mc Credie and L. M. Hidden were appointed to take charge of the matter and to re port as soon as possible. Some other matters of minor import ance were taken up and discussed. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, E. G. Crawford: vice-president, L. B. Clough; secretary, H. W. Arnold; treasurer, Lloyd DuBoIs. LOGS LOST OS SIUSLAW. Loss This Time Falls on the Mill Owners and Sot Losser. EUGENE, Or., Jm. 2$. (Speclal.)-The nrst mail since last Friday night has arrived from the lower Sluslaw and brings news of a considerable loss of logs on that river. Many logs which -were banked along the stream were taken by the flood and carried down the hay. The Booming Company near Acme caught as many as the upper boom -would bold and then put out the lower boom, but this would not hold the logs, which rolled Under and wont to sea. Heretofore these losses ho.ve been sus tained by the loggers, but this time as a result of the strike of last summer the logs were scaled on the banks and were the property of the mill companies when lost. One -or two loggers who have been disregarding the rules of the union are losers, at which the union loggers are Tejolcing. The. road between here and Mapleton is badly damaged by slides and washouts. OFFICERS TO MAKE REPORTS. "War Department Issues Orders for Filinsr of Efficiency Reports. VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Jan. 2S.

The city government and the proprietors of the games have reached an understand ing that each house shall pay a monthly tax of J50. There was considerable opposi tion to the high price, but the members of the green cloth decided to pay It. There are nine saloons? in the city, each one running a gamlng-room. This will bring, into the treasury about $7200 a year. North Yakima has been posing as a closed town since some time last Summer. The issue was fought out at the election last December. The wide-open policy tri umphed, and now the gamblers are nore because they have to pay so" dear for what they won at the election. "Want Conrt nt North Yakima. NORTH YAKIMA. -Wash., Jan. 2S.

Multnomah Club Athletes Training: for Tournament. Chairman t Brandon, of the indoor com mittee of trie Multnomah Club, has about completed preparations for the boxing and wrestling tournaments which -are soon to be the star attractions. The wrestling tournament will come off Friday and Sat urday of this week, and the boxing will bo Friday .and Saturday of tho week fol lowing.

There seems now to be but little doubt that Dennis McCarthy, the young twirler for the Tacoma Club, ljas concluded to cast his lot with the new Pacific Coast League. He has gone to San Francisco, and in leaving said never a word of good-bye to his many admirers here. It is not even hinted where Dennis will play. If he has gone over to the new league. The report that the new league Intends to place a club In Tacoma is given little credence here. Tacoma Is soon to have a rival street railway company, how ever, and there Is no telling what develop ments may tahe place In the baseball line with the' new company doing business and bidding for favor.

POWERS WILL LEND AID PRESIDENT OF NATIONAL ASSOCIA TION WRITES LUCAS. Will Suspend and Fine Players Who Jump to Pacific Coast League. SPOKANE, Jan. 28. (Special.) Baseball players who join the Pacific Coast League will be severely disciplined, says Presi dent P. T. Powers, of the National As sociation of Professional Baseball Leagues. He also states he will do every thing in his power to aid 'the Pacific Northwest League In its fight against the invaders, and will Impose severe suspen sions in addition to fines for the crime of contract-jumping.

For the information of those who insinuate that the National As- MINNESOTA WILL SEND LEWIS AND CLARK ST. PAUL, Minn., Jan. 23. (Special.) John F. Knapp, special com missioner of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition at Portland, was today Introduced by the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate, being an ex-member of both houses on the Pacific Coast, and was given a most cordial welcome. Mr. Knapp was assured by the presiding officers and the chairmen of the committees that the Legislature of Minnesota was quite as- solicit ous In the matter of Its representation at Portland as at St. Louis, and considered It of particular Interest to them. Governor Van Sant, of Min nesota, saya he Is. in favor by all means of Minnesota being represented at the Lewis and Clark Exposition and that the commission which he has appointed for the world's fair at St.- Louis will also look after tho Minnesota exhibit at Portland. Hon. Conde Hamlin, general manager of the Pioneer Press, and chair man of the Minnesota State Commission to the World's Fair at SL Louis, in 1904, said: "You can assure the president of 'the Lewis and dark Centennial and Hon. H. W. Scott, of The Oregonian, that our commission is earn estly in favor of taking our exhibits from St. Louis to Portland, and that the State of Minnesota will be represented at the Lewis and Clark Centennial in 1305." sociatlon will take into its fold the Cali fornia or Pacific Qpast League, along with all the players that may jump from or ganized baseball this year. I want to go on record new as saying that I will posi tively oppose any such action by the Na tional Association, and, will insist that, besides the fine Imposed on the players by our National agreement, an extra penalty of one year's suspension shall also be Im posed on each and every player that may jump the reserve or contract of a Na tional Association club. We have devoted the past two years to the perfecting of our organization and upholding that bul wark of professional baseball, our Na tional agreement, and those who attempt to destroytlt must pay the penalty. There fore, in behalf of the National Associa tion, I extend to you, the president of the Pacific Northwest League, and the mem bers of your organization, the assurance that you have the united and undivided support of our leagues and clubs, and we will aid you In every way, shape and man ner to uphold the dignity of our organ ization, and will approve your every effort to protect your property interest against an outlaw organization." PLAYERS TO COME WEST. Vlgnenx' Nine Will Assemble in Two Weeks to Start South. Thatcher and Nadau. the two new play ers signed by the Portland Coast team from the East, will start for Portland in a few days, and will arrive here during the first week m February. Nearly all of Vlgneux's men will be in Portland in side of two weeks, and will start for San Jose promptly on March 1 for practice. Local fans are very much worked up over Senator Sweek's bill. No. 123, which prohibits baseball games on Sunday. The general opinion prevails among players and enthusiasts that tho bill will never pass" the Legislature. The story has been going the round that Tacoma anu Spokane will jump from the Northwest to the Pacific CoasO League, though thete Is but little credence placed In tho report. In all probability If these two clubs have ever had any desire to Jump they would have done so long ago, and not waited till now, and then make many whispered talks about it. After Garrett has gone to work and signed play ers from California, it is hardly likely that Harris will want them back with him, as he "'has already a good six-team league, that will take all his spare time to man- Will Mnnnpre Everett Nine.

DAY SIGNS ANOTHER MATCH. Joclc Johnson Will Be itPtcd Against Sam McVey in March Manager Jack Day, of the Pastime CluB, announced yesterday that he will place Jack Johnson" and Sam McVey In the Port land ring at some date In March. These men are nowln California, McVey prepar ing for a bout at Oxnard on January 31 with Jack Lavelle, and Johnson for a bout with, Denver Ed Martin on February 5 at Los Angeles. By signing these men Manager Day fills three dates In advance, one "on February 12 between Nelll and Rellly, one later In the month between Herrera and Kid Broad, and the Johnson-McVey bout In March. This promises to be one of the best seasons Portland has ever had, and the Pastime Club will offer as many at tractions as possible. In a letter to one of the local sports, Al Nclll explains his action In not getting the decision ovcrWoods In Los Angeles last week by saying that he wished to keep his hands In good shape for the fight, between himself and Rellly which will take place under the management of the Pastime Club on February 12. Nelll con siders Rellly the more Important an tagonist, and wishes to be In the pink of condition when he meets Tommy next month. Speaking of the fight at. Los An geles, the Times says: Last night Al Nelll put up one of the clever est Actus ever seen in Los Angeles, but the work of Billy "Woods entitled him to half the honors. Billy Madden, who refcreed the mill, called it a draw. Madden also did some clever work, which was appreciated by the audience. Before the mill started Madden stated his In terpretation of the rules by which he would be guided, and after that Madden confined his en tire attention to Judging the merits of the two men. His explanation of the rules regarding the breakaway had been so clearly put that it was not necessary for him to call "break" or Dlace his hands on either of the men during the mill. Madden, as one of the'men near the ring side put It, was "that wise old pugilistic owl." and his decision wan correct, even if "Wyatt Earp did come out with a Statement to the effect that Billy's Judgment had been fixed be forehand. To the spectators and eyes not trained to tho game as Maddcn's are, Nelll did look to have the advantage. For 20 rounds "Woods fought as a man who was striking at a shadow, and Nelll's "cleverness in getting out of way, under and Inside of knockout swings, was the best that the followers of the game in this city have ever seen. .

To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should he of the best quality and of known yalue, and the one remedy which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as. a laxative, is Syrup of Pigs manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. "With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient char acter and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of Figs, gladness and comfort come to the heart, and if one would remove the torpor and strain and congestion attendant upon a con stipated condition of. the system, take Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the aches and pains, the colds and headaches and tho depression due to inactivity of the bowels.
