EWER ER
Great Stampedes for the Var
ious Rich Creeics.
GOOD RESULTS OF BEACH DIGGING
Supplies Are RenWbnabljr Plentiful
Fuel I HlsU-Prlced and Lumber
Is Hard to Get.
TACOMA, March 15. E. "W. Beacrnvood,
of Tacoma, received a letter from K. J.
Becker, at Nome, Alaska, In which ho
says:
"At present all lines of supplies, ex
cept dogs, are sufficiently plentiful. -Lumber
is $250 per 1000 feet, and hard to get
Mllk and cream low, and rice and ham
DO cents per pound. Fuel will be snort.
Dog teams have cleaned the river and
beach already. One -hundred pounds, o"
a single 6ack, of coal, when you can get
it, costs X).
"For profit, canned meats Is a gooa
staple, but not flour or sugar. Never in
history has there been such stampeding.
Bonanza district has been lit on as by
grasshoppers, and now there is a grand
rush for Kolcsadapagra.
"The big excitement is at Milk Creek,
35 miles above Prince of "Wales. York Is
attracting a big lot of attention, and
good results are shown. Above Cape
Rodney is the latest, called New Eldo
rado district, and it is surely good, along
with a three-mile free goldbearlng lease
of quartz. The trail Is hot with people
for this district There will no doubt be a
big stampede for Norton Creek, as 514 a
pan Is secured. Other creeks yield 10 and
15 cents at the surface.
"The beach is being worked with good
results, and coarse gold at times shows
up. Several $5 and ?15 nuggets, and one
worth $37, were found about one and a
half miles up, and on top of the ground."
PREFER OREGON MINES.
British Columbia Miner Wants to
Come South.
C. Fielding, a successful mining man of
Slocan, B. C. is in Portland, with a view
to locating in some of the Oregon min
ing districts, if he finds conditions favor
able. Mr. Fielding is the original dis
coverer of the Arlington silver mine, near
Slocan. now known as one of the richest
properties In British Columbia. He says
American enterprise has developed enor
mous wealth north of the 49th parallel,
within the past 10 years, and that now
British capital is willing to take the de
veloped properties off the hands of the
original owners. Americans prefer to live
in their own country, and are likely to
sell out by the wholesale and return to
the United States, on account of the
ploasanter climatic conditions, as there is
altogether too much good sleighing around
Slocan.
"Even now," he said, "while flowers are
.blooming and green grass Is waing In
Oregon pastures, we of Slocan are chip
ping our silver ore on sleds over the snow
to the railroad station, six miles away.
British . Columbia is a good country to
mine in, but not a pleasant one for per
manent residence, although the govern
ment is very liberal to Americans, and no
obstacles are thrown in our way, to pre
vent us owning and operating mines. The
only tax In mines is a royalty of 1 per
cent on the ore exported, which is always
cheerfully paid, as life and property are
protected, and all ruffianism and rowdy
lEm summarily squelched. Sometimes
tough characters come over from the
States, but they understand that they
have to keep the peace, and obey the
laws, and so they never attempt any overt
acts around Slocan.
"A miners tax of to a year is levied In
the district, and this zs collected from
Americans and British subjects alike.
Claims are 1500 feet .square more than
double the size permitted in the United
States and they can be owned and oper
ated by Americans without molestation."
Mr. Fielding will visit Southern Oregon
first, as he has heard from reliable sources
that good ledges are being opened up in
Douglas, Jackson and Josephine Cdunties,
and only lack capital to convert them into
valuable mines. The climate of Southern
Oregon, too, has been heard of in the
Slocan district, and be predicts an exodus
of British Columbia mlneowners into the
"Rogue River and Umpqua Valleys, as soon
as they have disposed of their properties
In the north.

IOOKED FOR. OLD FRIENDS.
Joaquin Miller In Morrow County
Sules of Sheep ami "Wool.
HEPPNER, Or., March 1C Joaquin Mil
ler lectured here last night to a large
audience.- He finds here many old friends
of pioneer days. He climbed the hill to
the Heppner cemetery and laid tributes
of wild flowers on the graves of Uncle

TELEGRAPH FOR ALASKA
A MILITARY NECESSITY, AND WORK
SHOULD BE HASTENED.
ReeotnxncadatioBs of General Greely,
Chief Sigrnal Officer Total Coat
Estimated, at $450,550.
"WASHINGTON, March 12. CongTesa
Vm rorrivod from the Secretary of the !
-" --- - -
Treasury an estimate submitted by the j
Secretary of war. asKing ior an appro
priation of J450.550, to be expended by the
Signals Corps in establishing a military
telegraph route through Alaska, from
Valdes to the Yukon, thence to St. MI-
chael and across to Cape Nome, ine rouie
is Intended to connect all mo military es
tablishments at present In Alaska, and
brings Cape Nome, the chief point of In
terest at this time. In communication with
an open harbor throughout the year. The
Secretary of War says that the wire for
most of this line can te laid most of the
distance on the ground with perfect safety,
and, with everything In readiness to
begin work at the opening of navigation,
can be constructed throughout Its entire
length in one season.
General A. W. Greely, chief signal ofil- '
cer, who prepared the estimate, and under
whom the work would be carried out, sub
mits the following statement with his es
timate: "The growing commercial Importance of
Alaeka and the prospective future of that
country, as indicated by the best experts,.
show conclusively that a system of com-
munlcatlon for this department should be
undertaken at once for tne proper control
and economical admlnstration of this dis
trict. It Is thought that the area can be
controlled with a much smaller military
force, and. therefore, mucn more economic
ally and efficiently, by proper system of
communication between Isolated forts. In
making estimates, however, for the lines
herein requested, difficulty Is experienced,
due to the very unusual conditions which
exist In th!s region. The local high prices,
the almost entire absence of any kind of
transportation In the interior, and the Im
practicability of transporting and erectins
noles over a larce nortion of thla line.

In some secUona laid directly upon the
ground.
"This largely increases the expense ol
the first cost of material, and makes the
most careful estimate hat can be made
largely tentative In character, and the one
herewith submitted is deemed to be as low
as the work can be constructed. It con
templates the usual course, the work be
Jng done by the troops, under the direction
of a Signal Corps detachment, and the
necessary transportation being furnished
by the Quartermaster's Department.
"The line Is divided into sections, with
estimates for each section, and It should
be understood that the cutting down of
these estimates means the abandoning of
a particular section. It is believed that.
notwithstanding the comparatively large
amount of money estimated for them,
i these lines are a necessity, and should be
undertaken In the next open season of the
country, as recommended by the depart
ment commander, whose headquarters,
now at St. Michael, are entirely isolated
from Washington seven months each year.
"It should be clearly understood that the
greater part of this telegraphic system Is
an absolute military necessity, as without
It the department commander cannot reach
any of the posts during the critical winter
period of the year.
"It is announced that the Dominion ot
Canada has appropriated $350,000 to con
nect its stations in the Klondike telegraph
ically with Quesnelle, but this affords no
facilities to the Commanding-General. De
partment of Alaska. The Chief S'gnal
Officer, therefore, recommends that the In
closed estimate be submitted Immediately
with favorable indorsement, through iha
proper channels, to the chairman of the
military committee. House of Representa
tives, with a view to Incorporating thH
estiniate In the Army bill for the coming
fiscal year.
"The necessity for the appropriation be
ing available is owing to the fact that
operations must be commenced in April oi
this year. In order to utilize the short sum
mer season for the work.
"The detailed estimates are as follows:
Valrlez to Fort Egbert, 3S5 miles, at
$150 per mile $ 57,753
Fort Egbert to Fort Yukon, 2S5
mlle. at $150 per mile 42,750

Total $4405
"The cost of equipping stations ($10,000)

direct line all the important military post

BENEFITS OF DIVERSITY.
Varied Resources MaUe and Keep
Dallas Prosperous.
DALLAS, March 16. Much interest is
now being taken In the question of estab
lishing a dairy here. It is argued that
Dallas is an Ideal location for such an en
terprise. .
Dallas does not feel the depression oc
casioned by the low price of hops and
wheat so keenly as many other towns,
owing to her varied resources. She has,
aside from wheat and hops, cattle, sheep
and wool, goats and mohair, hogs, wood,
staves, lumber, woolen goods, and great
est of all poultry.
Scarcity of "Wood.
The woolen mill here has been greatly
inconvenienced for want of fuel for some
time past. " The wood combine held for
higher prices than was considered prof
itable to the mill and the mill people did
not buy freely in the Fall, hoping to see
the price come down, which It failed to
do. The stock in town became so reduced
that no wood was to be had. Then green
wood was cut and hauled over muddy
roads. But the present fine weather has
contributed largely to tho relief of the
situation, and the mill Is again running
on full time.
SaTfingr Resumed.
Tho Thurston Sawmill Company has
commenced sawing again,-after having
been closed four weeks for the construc
tion of another dam.

Independent Action.
SALEM. March 16. The Marlon County
People's Party Central Committee met this
forenoon In the City Hall, Chairman Geo,
TV. Weeks presided. The forenoon was
taken Up with talking. The afternoon
resulted in some business, the most im
portant of which was the passage of a
resolution to reconsider the action of the
last meeting wherein the committee de-
lnr1 nrotnsf- frHrn Th rA?nlit!rn also
' Included a reccnslderatlon of the endorse
ment of the Omaha platform and the
H.DOC 427 56 1
endorsement of Barker and Donnelly
as National People's Party candidates.
These questions being brought again be
fore tho committee the following1 reso
lution disposed of them so far as tha com
mittee is concerned:
"Resolved, first. That the question of
fusion and all other questions which now
divide our party leaders 'be referred to
tha enrolled members of the party for
final settlement.
"Resolved, second. That no fusion pro
posed by party leaders, committees or
conventions bo- binding on the party until
ratified by a majority vote of the enrolled
members Interested."
Although the resolution purported to
take the matter out of the hands of the
committee, a long discussion of the ques
tion of fusion was indulged in. One pro
nounced Mlddle-of-the-Roader expressed
himself In no uncertain terms, and con
cluded by saying that the policy of trad
ing candidates and votes with the Demo
crats or any other party is the grossest
kind of corruption. A Fuslonist, on the
other hand, made an eloquent plea for
union of any kind, so that it be against
unfaithfulness In office. He named a
prominent Democrat who had, this morn
ing, assured him that if the Populists
would stand such a movement, there were
Democrats and Republicans enough who.
would unite with them In a citizens' mc e
ment to "down the- courthouse ring."
In spite of having left the fusion 'ques
tion to the Populist party at large, a reso
lution was Introduced and passed declar
ing that It was the opinion of the Popu
lists present that fusion had oven dis
astrous to the reform movement, and that
it is, in principle, unwise.
The committee decided upon March 31
for the holding of the precinct primaries,
and April 6 for the county convention.

Throbbing Pain m the Back
" Deap. Mrs. Pinkham : About two years ago I was
taken suddenly with a terrible bearing .down feeling,
low down across me and such a throbbing pain in my
back, that at times- it would seem that I could endure
it no longer. I had heard Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound, spoken of very highly and I com
menced taking it at once. After a short time, I was
feeling very much better, but continued its use until I
had taken six bottles and was completely cured."
