Tli is newly acquired property of the

DEFRAUDED THE- BANKS
BOGUS WAREHOUSE REGEDPTS NE
GOTIATED. Samuel O. Gray Under Arrest at Mos
cow Char fired "With, Commis
sion of the Crime.
COLFAX, Wash., Feb. 27. The Prose
cuting Attorney has decided not to ask
for the extradition of Samuel O. Gray,
who Is held in Moscow on a warrant from
this County charging him with forgery.
He will be left In Idaho and first tried
In their courts on charges of obtaining
money under false pretenses.
Gray, who has lived in this County
from childhood, has for the past two
years been farming near Guy, wnile work
ing at the carpenter's trade at odd spells.
Last fall he was working on a new school
building in Guy and during evenings as
sociated with the men working in the
elevator and grain warehouses. In this
way, it is said, he succeeded in getting
possession of several of the Pacific Coast
Elevator Company's grain receipts.
October 5, 1&99, he came to Colfax, and
it is charged that he filled out twOtOf the
receipts in the name of Abe Shaw (giving
amount of grain stored by Abe Shaw in
the warehouse in Colfax at 900 bushels),
and sold them to the First National
Bank of Colfax, the next day playing the
same game on a Pullman bank and the
day after this passing a forged check
for 336 on a Moscow bank.
Tho forgeries were discovered within a
few days, but for a long time the officers
worked in the dark In endeavoring to as
certain the identity of the forger. The
numbers on the forged wheat receipts
indicated that they had been stolen from
the elevator company's agent at Guy, and
the agent there finally succeeded in get
ting photographs of every person who had
been employed about the elevator during
the season. Entirely by chance, Gray's
photograph was included among them.
These pictures were shown to the bankers
victimized, and all three fixed on Gray
as the man with whom they had dealt
Gray, It was known, hadgone into North
ern. Idaho, and it was several weeks be
fore he was located at Westlake, Idaho,
where he was arrested on Friday last.

groups to the National Museum, where
they will be segregated and sent to the
best living authorities for classification
and description. The Professor will him
self do this important work on severalj
oi me groups representee, ne lias re
ceived an opportune addition to his Alas

a fine lot of Insects from the interior. Be
sides all these, Professor Kincaid made
an extensive collection on the Prlbyloff
Islands, while serving as a voluntary as
sistant to President David Starr Jordan

During the past year there has sprung
up between the University of Washington

spirit of sympathy and co-operation. Pro
fessor Priest has brought to the Univer

CONTRACTOR AT FAULT.
Gruel to His Horses, Therefore Mail "I
Doesn't Get TJironch.
Coqullle Bulletin.
Monday of this week we received no
mail, with the same story on Wednesday,
0!he dtlaens of Myrtle Point discovered the
real cause of- the delays Tuesday, and
promptly dealt out justice to the contract
or. The matter was simply this; as It has
been for some time past. The mail was be
ing carried on half-starved animals. Ono
of tho poor beasts succumbed to fatigue
and overwork five times in a single trip.
This was too much for human people,
and as fast as the poor horses reached
Myrtle Point the carriers were notified not
to take them out. For once, the people's
pleasure was respected.
This matter is now before tho Departs
ment at Washington. There will be no
dodging the question, this time agents and
Inspectors will not be appeared to we are
after the real thing. If Eastern contract
ors wish to work for starvation prices,
well and good. They must not be carried
away with the Idea, however, that the
people will see the greatest of cruelties
visited upon dumb brutes, because they
bear Injustice upon injustice, at their
hands, complacently. The Government
pays a price which would guarantee ser
vice par excellence. The contractor is
entirely at,, fault.

TWO NOTED GOLD MINES
THE RED BOY AND THE BONANZA,
OF EASTERN OREGON.
Sketch of Their History, Touching
the Straggles to 3Iake Them
Win Future Secure.
BAKER CITY, Or., Feb. 26. Some of
tho most interesting chapters in the his
tory of mining, filled with thrilling Inci
dents of heroism and hardship, cluster
around some of the mines of the Sumpter
district The trait of human nature that
has led men from the earliest ages to
seek that which can be exchanged fox
everything else that has a price, has filled
endless volumes with varied history. Na
tions, as well as Individuals, have been
Involved in enterprises and sacrifices based
solely upon the hope of gain in precious
metals.
Perhaps no mine In Oregon is more
widely known than the Red Boy, which
name has become a synonym for faithful
production. Mr. Graham discovered the
Red Boy about 1887. -The struggle began
ut once. Every circumstance was unfa
vorable from the start At that time the
Red Boy was a long way from tho con
veniences of civilization, and numerous
owners have despaired of success and
abandoned tho effort. This property finally
passed into the possession of Clark Tabor,
one of the present owners, several years
ago, at which time began the operations
which ended in success. But success was
long delayed. The turning point come with
the advent of E. J. Godfrey, with a small
mill, which he gave for a half interest
in the property. It is no discredit that
they had a hard struggle. Capital was not
seeking Investment in Oregon mines.
But the time came, after long persever
ance and economy, when every bill for
labor and supplies was paid, and the ac
cumulation of a sum for the purchase of
improved machinery was begun. Two
years agosaw the completion of a new
plant, consisting of mill, buildings and
water ditches, and now the- cyanide plant
is about completed all at a cost of mora.
than $200,000. So completely successful
have been the operationslhat no indebt
edness stands against thte- property, and
$140,000 has been set aside for deep mining.
Speculation as to what the Red Boy would
ibrlng if placed upon the market is futile.
It Is not for sale.
The Bonanza.
The Bonanza mine had possibly the
hardest struggle of any one Qn the list
Always encouraging both to its owners and
the miners, through a series of unfavor
able circumstances and drawbacks, It
seemed for years they would never be
able to accomplish the end. This mine had
several mills which failed to save values.
Not being able to get from the ere treated
the gold it "contained made it hard for
the owners to pay for machinery and la
bor. During that period of development,
Is which It is not even known that a good
ledge of ore exists, it was only the con
fidence and courage of Albert Geiser that
averted abandonment of the mine.
Month after month the family purse was
diminished for supplies for the boys that
were digging away into the rocky cham
bers of the earth, and It is said but one
man kept faith in the Bonanza through it
all.
At one time Portland parties had several
thousand dollars invested in the Bonanza,
and also In other mines In the district, but
did not stay with It long enough to have
a share in the rich harvest gathered later.
From the direct product of the mine a
20-stamp mill was put in, since which
time the output has been large and steady.
The mine was sold to Pennsylvania people
for $750,000, and the capacity of the mil!
increased to 40 stamps.
SLOGAN MINES TO RESUME.
May Make Concessions to Strikers?'
Tired of Inactivity.
VANCOUVER, B. C, Feb. 27. Special
correspondence frdm London announces
the formation In London of an association
of British companies owning mines in the
Slocan district of British Columbia for the
purpose of strengthening the bands and
of acting In concert with the Silver-Lead
Mlneowners' Association, which has been
established In the Slocan since the begin
ning of the strike. The English organiza
tion Is credited with haying Insisted upon
the reopening of the-mines, even If minor
concessions had to be made to the strikers,
the British shareholders having become
tired of the nine months' strike, with lt3
resulting absence of dividends.

THE NEW ASYLUM WING. .
W1U Be Ready to Use in Another
Month.
SALEM, Feb. 27. Asylum officials re
port that the new wing of the Asylum
building is nearing completion, and will
bo ready for occupancy in a month. It
was found that tho appropriation of $30,000
would not be sufficient to finish the three
stories of the addition, so only the first
and second stories will be fitted up at
present. The two wards that will be
formed in the pew wing will accommo
date 40 patients each. This does not mean
that the asylum will be ready for 80 new
patients, but that the removal of some
of the patients to these new wards will
relieve the crowded condition of tho other
wards.
Tho work of constructing the new wing
has been done by mechanics employed by
the asylum board, and the labor of pa
tients has been utilized whenever practica
ble. In this way the appropriation has
been made to accomplish more than It
would otherwise.
The new portion of the Asylum building
will be in many respects superior to the
older sections. The rooms are better light
ed. The plastering extends down to the
mop-board, instead of to tho wainscot
ing, and prevents tho secretion of ver
min. All the projecting corners, window
casings and door frames are carefully
rounded so as to lessen, the chance of in
jury to patients.
The new kitchen is also being cpmplet
ed, and will be occupied this Spring. Much
of the work on this improvement has also
been performed by patients under the di
rection, of mechanics empldyed by the
State. The now kitchen will have a- con-
orete floor and a. patsnt iron cmg. thus
securing the greatest degree- of deann
nese. Was Commitment Proper?
The commitment of Wllmrd Kig to the
Reform School yesterday, from Marten
County, has raised a queetteu as te psoper
procedure in such cases- Alter tho boy
bad been taken to the Reform Seaool by
the Sheriff. County Cleric Hall ssid that
he had no record of such a cooimltmeat
Later in the evening & complaint was
filed against the boy. The complaint was
sworn to by the boy's mother and alleged
that he was incorrigible and eoutd not
be controlled, and that It would be for
the interest of the public that the boy
be confined in the Reform School. The
mother signed the complaint by making
her mark. There is no record of & trial
of tho boy nor of bis commitment, ex
cept the order made by County Judge
Torrell, and given by the Sheriff to the
superintendent of the Reform School. In
the complaint against the boy there is a
statement that tho defendant appeared
is person.
Tho law requires that a, complaint be
made, that proof be given aad a. record
made of the commitment. It is the gen
eral opinion here that tho bey was com
mitted to the Reform School at his moth
er's request in order that she mlgat avoid
the burden of supporting him. The Dep
uty Sheriff, who took him to the Reform
School, says the boy has no appearance
of belps unruly.
Marion County Bicycle Fund.
County Treasurer Downing said today
that there Is now in the Marlon County
bicycle fund a balance of $171 64, wbieh
was left over from Ia3t year. The total
amount turned Into that fund was $2498 62.
Th,e County Court, at its last session, lev
led the 1900 bicycle tax as provided by
law. As there Is a general disposition
in this County to pay the tax, It is expect
ed that there will be funds available for
the further construction of paths.
Reports from the country are to the
effect that the paths built last season are
in fairly good condition. In places the
grade has been destroyed by catle or
teams, and in a few places by washouts,
but these are small, and can be readily
repaired. The work was well done at first
and stood rough usage.
Pranogrowers' Meeting; Postponed.
The Salem Chamber of Commerce has
decided to postpone the proposed meeting
of prunegrowers at Salem until after the
meeting at Portland. It was found im
practicable, in the time remaining, to ar
range for a meeting at which most of the
growers could be gotten together and the
Chamber of Commerce officials thought
best to wait until more complete plane
for organization could be made. The fruit
growers of this vicinity are taking great
interest in the matter of organization, and
it Is tho general desire that a Union be
formed that will avoid the price-cutting
competition that has heretofore prevailed.
Several Salem growers have made trips
East in tho interest of their products, and
their statement is invariably that the Ore
gon prod acer. does not get as much for
his fruit as the Eastern market warrants.
They soy that from their observations
they are convinced that tho growers al
low themselves to be drawn, into a false
competition that results in a cut in prices.
This result they think, could be obviated
by an organization, for the purpose of
marketing fruit

Text of Registration Law.
Secretary of State Dunbar has issued
a 16-page pamphlet, containing the text of
the registration law passed by the last
Legislature. -This pamphlet was published
for general distribution, and any who
want a copy of It can get It for tha;
asking.
Secretary Dunbar had many requests
for copies of the election laws frem per
sons who wanted only the registration
laws. As the election laws fill a large
pamphlet, ho found it would be oheapec
for the State to issue a separate copy of
the laws pertaining to registration. The
pamphlet is without covers and gotten
out in as cheap a form as possible.
Capital City Notes.

the National Boer Relief Fund Associa
tion, of New York, to allow his name

offices of Chairman and VIce-Chairmau
are vacant, but will be filled shortly. The
