ALBANY, Or.. May 16. A point raised on the last day of registration has caused considerable discussion here. A package of over 20 registrations before a Notary, taken at a logging camp on the Santiam, were presented to the clerk, -when it "was discovered that one of the witnesses "was an Albany man who had not been out of the city, and had not -witnessed the signing of the documents. The names -were not registered. It transpires that a faumber of registrations have been made Jng the same way. A letter containing 25 names, properly registered, arrived 30 minutes too late. The County Clerk decided today that under the registration law every name ehould bfe admitted to registration where tiie proper proof was made before a No tary anywhere in the county before 5 o'clock May 15, if eent forthwith to the office. Several more names have reached the o,fSce. increasing the total tonight to ebout 5100. May Be n Mandamun Salt. BERRY, Or.. May 16. D. F. Hardman and J. A.

They returned to Albany on the afternoon train, but would reach that place after 5 o'clock. Tbey said while .here that the County Clerk of Linn -County had announced that 3ie would "refuse to receive registrations a.ftero o'clock, May 15, regardless of the time the voters were registered by the "Notaries.

Additional reg istrations were received today from the various Justices of the Peace throughout the county, sufficient to bring the total number up to 2565. This is 2S3 less than the vote at the June election In 1J)8. At that time there were 2S48 ballots cast, but 13 of them were rejected. The falling off Js almost entirely confined to the precincts in the central portion of Astoria. In the city limits the vote two years ago was 1S35, and the registrations this year are 163S, a decrease of 297. Registration In Marlon. SALEM. Or., May 10.

Whooler. who have been mining in the Lester district for the past two 5 ears, were here today. This district In cludes In Us boundaries the northeast corner of Marlon County and southeast corner of Clackamas County, and Is sit uated on Gold Creek, a tributary of the Santiam. and one mile from the head waters of the Molalla. This is a quartz mining district, the claims extending through the corners of two counties. De velopment work is being pushed on eight ledges, and some encouraging tests have been made. A tunnel has been sunk in the Bimetallic ledge to the 'depth of SCO feet: the last assay in the Michigan property at a depth of 73 feet showed $14 71 to the ion, which is about the aver age giyen By acsays made on samples from the other ledges. "Wheeler and Holt are interested with Dr. C. Goucher, of Molalla, in the Michigan, but have acquired in terests in tho Bimetallic. Negotiations have been pending for the sale of the lat ter property to Tennessee men, but noth ing definite has resulted. Some rich pam ples of surface copper ore were exhibited from a ledge seven feet in width, re cently discovered in that district. Consid erable money has been expended in de velopment work in this district, the great est depth having been obtained on the Bimetallic claim. George "Wjland, of "Wllholt Springs, was here today, and exhibited some rich sam ples from a copper-produclnj: ledge situ ated on his farm. Little development has oeen done on the prospect. A neighbor. Mr. Fox, has eropplngs of a similar ledge on his farm, but declined to give some lining men an opportunity to develop the Im, because they wanted a controlling interest in the lode. Two men were In the city a day or two .ago and paid the recording fee on four quartz claims located in the Shena Creek mining district, near tho headwaters- of the Sandy River. The men were very reticent as to their plans, but one of them claimed to have been mining In Alaska. SKAMANIA COUNTY MINES. Good Copper and Gold Proposition Helnp Developed. "W. H. Kearney, who Is developing a copper proposition for the Spokane & Vancouver Gold & Copper Mining Com pany, returned from Skamania County. "Washington, esterday. He has some 20 inen In tho camp at present, and a tunnel GO feet &cep shows a solid body of ore. averaging $50 to the ton in gold and cop per. The development of thes mines means . a good deal for Portland, as they are only 42 miles distant from the city, in a northeasterly direction. At present they are reached by a pack trail 15 miles long, from the terminus -of the Portland, Van couver & Yakima Railroad, but the tun nel Is only six miles from the right of way. Considerable prospecting Is going on In the vicinity this Spring. Mr. Kearney says, and good ledgeare being uncovered. He mentions the Gteat Alice. Arrastra and Mascot as all being worked with vigor, and he predicts that the region will bi come one of the greatest copper mining localities in the world within a few year. He left last evening to confer with the directors of his company, at Spokane, and to come to some conclusion as to the manner of disposing of the ere. Quotations of Mining Stocks. SPOKANE. May 18.

Last week Ed Farrell killed a bear of large sire, this week he killed a cin namon 'of eyen larger proportions and next week we expect to report the sudden death of a black bear at the hands of this doughty hunter. The first bear was killed with no especial excitement, but he of the cinnamon hue let Farrell know that bear-hunting1 is no child's pliy. After four well-directed shots had been fired any one of which would havo caused his death in a few hours, bruin retreated tu his lair and was there attacked by Far rell's two hounds. One, of email expe rience with the bear family, but highly prized by her cwner. became too bold, and was caught and would soon have been crushed in the bear's loving embraces had not Farrell, who thought more of his dog than his own safety, made a play that might have cqst his life. Trying to get In a position to shoot without wounding e'ther dog, ho advanced until hie gun touched the bear's head. Busied with the dogs, the animal had not noticed his ap proach, but at the touch of the gun bar rel he dropped the dog he held and made a pass with one huge paw, catching one claw In the hunter's thumb, making a gash ,.to the bono and about two inches long. Behind a tree jumped the hunter, and hastily firing, the king of the forest fell to rise no more. Applejcate Celebration at Yoncalln. YONCALLA, May 15.

Charles, Lindsay and Jesse, thinking It was becoming too crowdl ed, then moved with their people to the Yoncalla Valley, and where "Aunt Lucy" has resided continuously for 50 years this May. Shinsrle Mills Shut Down. TACOMA, May 16. Officers of the Red cedar shingle Association sent out notifi cations tonight to all the mills stating that over 90 per cent had signed the closing agreement, and mills were to be shut down between May 16 and June 4. Five thousand men will be laid off for three weeks, but shingle manufacturers argue It will obviate the necessity of re ducing wages, and this sentiment is- said to prevail among the employes. The clos ing for three weeks will curtail the out put for the year by 2500 cars of shingles. Drawn to the Nome Trade. SOUTH BEND. "Waah., May 16. Owing to the great demand for steamers for the Nome trade. South Bend's steamer com munication with San Francisco Is sus pended, tho steamer Rival, of the Dollar line, which was running between here and San Francisco, having been char tered for a trip to Cape Nome.

HH.LSBORO, May 16 Word has just bten received at this city that Jacob R. French, an Oregon pioneer of 1850, while returning from a trip to Honolulu, died frcm an attack of dysentery. He was a passenger on the sailing ship Helen Denny, bound from the Sandwich Islands to Eureka, Cal. Mr. French left Bethany, this county, on the 17th of December to visit the Islands in quest of health. He died on ths 21st of April, and was barlcd at sea. Deceased was bom in Kew Jersey, January 14. 1624. and at the age of 10 took to tho hfa of a sailor. After a cruise of three years he settled at Xer Orleans, and engaged in steam boating, in the palmy days of tho Mississippi River. He came to California in 1S50, and In the Fall reached Oregon. Soon thereafter he located near Bethany, owning a place there at the time of his death. Two children survive him Mrs. E. Read, of Portland, "and Mrs. Grant Holcomb, of Bethany. Or. One brother. Samuor French, a. hotel man of Woodstown, N. J., and a sister Sophia Slim, of Philadelphia, are yet living. Mr. French married Miss Harriet Caples. at St. Johns, Or., May 2, 1635. Mrs. French died February 24, 1SGS. Mr. French was a man of strict Integrity, and a general favorite in his community. By religion ho was & Quaker.-,H!a "heme trip on a sailer waa occasioned by the fact that the quarantine prevented the depattuw -oi steamers, otrlng ts the plague. contented. The ranchers are prosperous and contented. The fusion candidates say that the people her are unconcerned about the attack on the Administration. They are doing well, ana have no griev ance against the Administration or any body else. The price of livestock is high; wool is high. All farm produce is high. Isolated from the railroad, the outside world cannot competo with the ranchers, and stockmen can raise the best animals and the best grade of wool for less money than any class engaged in the same busi ness anywhere else In the world. One candidate began to talk about the low price of wheat and potatoes. It was news to our ranchers. They sell every bushel of wheat that they can spare at l"c cents per pound, and potatoes at the same price, and all other produce accord ingly, and the merchants "run after them" at these prices. It may be selfishness with them, but while they can get 3) cents per bushel for wheat at home, they are not worrying lover 40-cent wheat In the "Willamette Valley. It Is the same with all other produce. No Idleness, No Poverty. There is not an idle man In Lake Coun ty, except from preference, and there Is not a man In the county who complains. There is only one pauper in the county, and ho is blind, and the county only has to pay $6 per month to have him taken care of in a private family. In six months time your correspondent ha3 never heard a man speak of "hard times," and he has been vigilantly on the lookout. There are no chattel mortgages given here and every man's credit is good. No one thinks of beating or getting beat. It Is an abso lutely solid prosperity, and everybody la doing well. They listen to the speakers from the "starved-out" sections with an expression of surprised sympathy. The big. pros perous fellows feel like going down in their pockets and sending a contribution to the Administration-ridden districts. It is hard to get such men In political line. They really don't care so much about a man's politics. If a fellow pleases them pretty well they vote for him. Irrespective of his politics. In this county they have been electing a mixed ticket for years. Tne. political parties put out their respect ive tickets, but the people go right along and vote as they please. It is claimed that the Republicans have about 100 ma jority, but you cannot tell much about It from the result of the elections. Election Won by Little Girl. Bryan carried this county last election. It was not because Brynn was more popu lar or because McKlnley was unpopular. The big, prosperous ranchers were cap tured by a beautiful little dark-eyed girl. The Republicans employed a Quartet of jubilee singers. They were having things their own way. There was nobody to sing for the other side. Miss Lillle Wal ters, a native of the county, pretty and bright as a May Queen, said she would sing for the other side, and only In her teens and short dresses she went about the county with her father, an old Texan, and sang for the ranchers. She has a voice like a nightingale, and captured the old ranchers, and they nodded their heads approvingly, and said: "By golly, we'll vote for the little gal instead of the big quartet!" And Bryan carried the county. This Year's Fight. The main fight this year is between Daly and Tongue. While It is Daly's home, he has many enemies here. They are making a desperate effort to carry the county against him. A stranger arriving here even before the campaign was thought of would never have expected to learn that Dr. Daly held office or would stand any show ifi this county. He is the most universally "cussed" man In the county. He is rarely ever spoke of fa vorably by any man. Tet he has been In office for more than 10 years, and ha3 never been defeated in this county for anything. There are no serious charges made against him. but everybody talks about Daly, and his enemies hate him worse than they do a anake. His friends say It all jealousy. They say that Daly has accumulated property here, always aeieat mm this Time, but a Daly man starrM nut vtn1T rl rrri-a Kot $50 with every man that would take him up that Daly would carry the county. The Det Is public and notorious., but no man ferencea' that they may have had. The Prosecuting Attorney was requested- to dismiss the case against Herbert, but he has not yet done so. Fish Commissioner Reed will not make public what boat he will use in patrolling the river, beginning next week, but says he has engaged the fastest steamer he could find. He also says that he proposes to enforce the law to the letter, as every fteherman is now acq'uainted with its pro visions and cannot plead ignorance. Pacific County Democrats. .SOUTH BEND, Wash.

LUMBERING ON SANTIAM SAWMH,I,S AND LOGGING CAMPS IN GREAT ACTIVITY. Nearly $100,000 a. Year for Labor and Supplies PhIp Wood a "Well as Savvies Taken Oat. SALEM, May 16. There Is unprecedent ed activity In the lumbering Industry on the Pacific Coast. Nowhere, probably. Is there witnessed a more rapid development than is now going on in the Santiam re gion of Eastern Marion and Linn Coun ties. The daily output of lumber from the mills in that section is estimated at 100,000 feet. Many of the mills are enlarging their plants and improving their facilities to such an extent that It is estimated that In ono month hence the dally output will reach 100,000 feet, of an average vahie of 5S per 100J. While exact figures cannot be procured, computations founded on figures given by sawmill owners warrant the estimate that the Santiam lumbering J Industry disburses monthly not less than 512,000 for labor and supplies. With the Increase in the output there will be a corresponding Increase In the amount of money disbursed. It is possible that in making these computations some of the small mills may have been overlooked, and the figures given may therefore be considered conservative. The principal factor In the lumbering in dustry in the Santiam Is the Curtiss Lum bering Company, of Chicago. This com pany began active operations about two years ago. and has acquired tho most valuable of the timber lands and mlll sltes on the Santiam. The company bought several of the smaller mills, and later acquired the plant of the Santiam Lumbering Company, at Mill City. This plant hag become the chief center of lum bering operations in that region, and the tendency Is toward the abandonment of the smaller mills and the cpncentratlon of manufacturing at Mill City. The com pany is now operating but two mills, one at Mill City and the other at Berry. The former has a daily output of 5,000 feet, and tho latter 30.000. A new gang saw and additional water wheels are be ing put In at Mill City, and these will increase the capacity to 60,000 feet per day of 10 hours. The mill Is to be lighted by electricity. There will be eight arc lights and Innumerable incandescent lamps. When these shall be Installed, the plant will be run both day and night, making the daily output 100.000 feet. The Berry mill was shut down for re pairs last Saturday. It is necessary to close all the mlllp for about two months every year for repairs, so that only about 251 working days can be counted upon in thu year. To supply logs for its mill the Curtiss Lumbering Company operates a "number of logging camps. The principal of these are on the Breltenbush and at Berry. The C. K. Spalding Company also operates a logging camp, furnishing logs to the Cur tiss company by contract. The Spalding company also furnishes hemlock for the "paper mills at Oregon City, and in its logging takes everything clean. The lum ber mills use the fir and the paper mills the hemlock. These camps furnish to the mill at Mill City 20 carloa'ds of logs per day. The logs are handled- with the latest machinery, and everything Is done with a view to rapidity of execution. Eight donkey engines are used, and these drag tho logs In some cases a distance of 3000 feet. The logs are rolled on the Cars by machinery, and the Corvallls & Eastern Railway Company is building a sidetrack at Mill City, so that the logs can be rolled from the cars Into the mlllpond. With the improved facilities for han dling logs, it is found more profitable to do the sawing at one place, it being cheaper to transport the logs by train than to maintain a separate mill. Besides the Curtiss company, the prin cipal lumbermen and loggers are C. K. Spalding .& Co., O'Neill Bros., S. V. Hall Lumbering Company, Smith & Smith, Hoover Brothers and Lee Brown & Sops The firm of O'Neill Bros., sometimes called O'Neill Bros. & Callagban. is in tcrested chiefly in logging for paper and pulp manufacture. This company has a pulp mill at Lebanon, and Is making prep arations to put In a similar plant at Niag ara, on the Santiam. At this -place there is an ideal water power. A dam Is being constructed, and a 50-foot head of water will be obtained, yielding 2300 horsepower. The importance which this company at taches to the pulp Industry is shown by a clause in a deed by which the old Enter prise mlllslte was transferred by O'Neill Bros, to the Curtiss Lumbering Company. This mlllslte is on the Breltenbush, and Is one of the few desirable locations for a mill. Tha deed conveyed 320 acres of land, and contained a provision that for 5) years the water power on the land should not be used for the manufacture of pulp or paper. It Is understood that this prohibition was agreeable to both parties to the transaction. Thero is water power enough in the Santiam River to operate a sawmill and pulp mill every half mile. Lumber from the Santiam mills is ohipped to nearly all parts of the West, but principally to Colorado and Utah. Considerable quantities are consumed in Linn County and other parts of Oregon. Those who take a day's ride along the line of tho Corvallls & Eastern Railroad and see the almost unlimited forests of timber still standing will have no fears of failure of supply for the immediate future. Only that along the river has yet been used. The timber further back is not so accessible, but in time will be come available by the Increase In" the price of lumber. Not In one generation win tne faant.am mills close down for want of timber. RUSH FOR TIMBER LAND. AH the Beat Tracts on the Coa-it Aro Beiner Taken. GREENLEAF, Or., May 13.
