FLUKED THE RJSIONISTS
HOW MARION REPUBLICANS MET
ERRONEOUS STATISTICS.
Ceaaty Caaspalsa Is la Better Shape
the Cbutem Pr-
creiics.
SALEM, May 27. The first week -of the
Joint canvass of Marion County has re
sulted very satisfactorily to the Repub
lican candidates. They are In much bet
ter spirits than they were at the close
of the first day's work. At the opening
of the canvass the Fusion candidates were
aggressive and the Republicans were put
on the defensive. The Fuslonlsts put up
an array of figures that staggered the
Republicans, and at first it seemed that
they were about to be annihilated by the
"reformers." But the Republican candi
dates began an- investigation of the records
and found that the figures given by the
Fuslonlsts were Incorrect in many re
spects. One set of statistics after another
were proved to be false, and at the close
of the first week of the canvass the sit
uation had been reversed; the Fuslonlstf
wero conducting the defense. The Re
publican, candidates did not go on in the
campaign prepared to refute incorrect
statistics, and it took them a day or so
to send to Salem and have the records
investigated.
The figures that were used most effec
tively against the Republicans were a list
of the special .appropriations. The list
had been clipped from a newspaper and
was read by J. B. Dlmmlck, Fusion candi
date for the Legislature. Mr. Dlmmlck
had been using his figures very effectively
for four days before it was discovered
that he was reading the list of special
appropriations "recommended," and not of
those passed. When Mr. Llmmlck was
handed a copy of the acts of the Legisla
ture and requested to point out in the ap
propriation bill the figures he had been
reading, he admitted that the Legisla
ture had not allowed those appropriations
over which he had made the greatest
demonstration.
"While half the time of the Joint can
vass has expired, only one-third of the
work has been done. The candidates have
covered that part of the county where the
smallest audiences are gathered. During
the present week meetings will be held In
the north end of the county, and the
canvass will close at Salem Saturday
afternoon.
Presidency of "Willamette.
A report was circulated in Salem this
morning to the effect that a new president
has been chosen for Willamette Univer
sity, and that he is soon to arrive In this
city. The report came in a private letter
and was published In a Salem paper. The
announcement caused much suprlse, for
there is no vacancy in the presidency of
that Institution. Rev. John Parsons, who
is secretary of the board of trustees of
Willamette University, was asked this
morning what truth theie Is In the re
port. He said that he knew of no such
action being taken by the board, and that
the reported selection of a president was
a great surprise to him. A committee ot
three members of the board was appointed
to look after the Interests of Willamette
University at the General Conference, but
this applied to financial matters, and no
ruthorltv was given them to employ a
president. If any such arrangement has
been made, this committee must have
mfetie It, and without any instructions from
tho board.
Dr. Parsons said also that there Is no
vacancy in th- presidency, and that there
is n- irdlcatlor that there will be one.
President H-wley has not resigned, and
h.3.3 s'vii the board no Intimation that
he intend t- resign. Two -years ago, and
again last ar. President Hawley urged
the board ot trustees to elect a minister
as president. He deemed that action best
because of the competition between the
Portland and Salem schools In the Meth
odist conference. The trustees decllred to
make the change, and re-elected Hawley
to the presidency. Now that the two
schools had united and Portland Univer
sity no longer claims recognition at the
hands of the Methodist conference, the
rieed for a minister at the head of the
school has ceased. President Hawley is
the only person who has asked for such
a change, and he has not recommended
such action since the consolidation of the
two schools.
Eighth-Grade Examinations.
The first eighth-grade final examina
tions under the uniform state system were
conducted In all the counties in the past
three days. This examination was he.d
in accordance with rules adopted by the
State Board of Education. The questions
were prepared by several County Superin
tendents, and. after being approved by the
State Superintendent, were printed and
sent out to all tho County Superintend
ents. The questions were placed In sealed
enve ;jes by the County Superintendents
and cnt to a member of the School Board
in the districts where an examination was
to be held. Neither teacher nor pupils
had any previous knowledge of the 'ques
tions, as the envelopes were not opened
until the class was ready for the exami
nation. The papers upon which the an
swers are written by the pupl.s are num
bered, and do not contain the names of
the pupils. The papers are to be graded
by the County Superintendent. A general
average of SO per cent, and a minimum
average of 75 per cent. Is required In order
to pats the examination. Those who pass
the examination will be given diplomas
signed by the County Superintendent, the
teacher and the chairman of the Board
of Directors. Eighth-grade examinations
will be conducted on the fourth Thurs
days of November. February" and May.
As this Is the first examination of the
kind, and but few teachers have had an
opportunity to see the questions submit
ted, the complete list Is given to the press
for publication. The questions used in
this examination Indicate what may be
expected In similar examinations in the
future.

Clinnce for Creamerlen.
J. M. Kyle, formerly manager of the
Oregon Fruit & Produce Company in this
city, and now; a produce-buyer for a Port
land firm, says that the quality of the
dairy products of the Willamette Valley
has Improved wonderfully within the past
year. Mr. Kyle travels to all parts of the
Valley buying produce. He says that the
Improvement Is not clue entirely to the es
tablishment of creameries. The increase
in the output of the creameries has been
greater in proportion than the Increase in
the production of country butter, and this
has raised the general average of the
quality of butter. But Mr. Kyle says that
there has been a noticeable Improvement
Jn the quality of country, or "store" but
ter. Country" dealers who buy butter from
the farmers have encouraged their patrons
to turn out a better product, and th
farmers have learned that the price rises
with the quality. Some of the farmers
who formerly churned cream skimmed
from pans have bought separators, and
are thus enabled to make better butter.
Mr. Kyle thinks that. whll the cream
cries recently established have been bene
ficial to the dairy Industry, the most sat
isfactory results cannot be obtained until
the output of the creameries has been n
creased to many times what it is at pres
ent. In order to handle goods of any kind
to the best advantage, the manufacturers
should be ready to fill orders for carload
lots. Only a few of the Oregon creameries
can do this at present.
Itnral Mall Delivery in Dona-las.
WASHINGTON. May 23. Representative
Tongue has secured the establishment of

thing for which Mr. Tongue has been
striving for a long time. Both he and
Mr. Moody made great efforts to have this
new system established on Oregon routes,
and feel reasonably sure that on the
larrcr routes at least this box feature will
be Inaugurated throughout the state when

UNLIKE KLONDIKE RUSH
XOME GOLD-HUNTERS USE JUDG
MENT AS TO OUTFITS.
So Nor Spend So Mack Mosey aa Did
These Who Joined First Stam-
pede to "the North.
SEATTLE, May 27. Between the north
ward rush of goldhunters of 1897-93 and
that of 1900 there is a world of difference,
both In the character of the argonauts and
In the outfits they take in. The rush to
Nome no more resembles the Klondike
rush In the lavish expenditure of money
and the character of the outfits than a
tallow dip compares with an arc light.
In the Fall of 1897, and nearly the whole
of 1898 thousands and thousands of men
and women from every quarter of the
globe assembled at the various cities on
the Pacific coast, from San Francisco to
Vancouver, B. C.,- and thero was hardly
one of this vast host but brought sums of
money running Into the thousands of dol
lars, while the goldseekers who could
write their checks for 520.000 to 5100.000
were plentiful as blackberries. This host
of paupers imagined that it was abso
lutely necessary to follow implicitly the
printed list of "requirements for the Klon
dike," gotten up by enterprising outfitters,
with the result that every Individual, man
or woman, had an outfit, both in value
and quantity, that not 20, or even 30, com
bined Cape Nomo prospectors possess to
day. During this rush the storekeepers were
so busy waiting on the tenderfoot that
a resident of the city who came to buy
an ordinary bill of goods for his or her
household would not be waited on, as time
was too precious to bother with a dollar
consumer when a 51200 lamb was waiting
to be served.
These things have all changed now, for
the present rush to the north is remark
able for the absence of any of the showy
features, and the men who are now going
are in most cases men of experience in
mining camps, and it Is the rule for a
man to buy a ticket and start north with
no more baggage than is contained In an
ordinary steamer trunk or handbag; and
those who are buying outfits spend not
to exceed $30 for both food and sleeping
accommodations.
The heavy expenditure of money this
year has been on pumping plants, many
companies having been formed for the
purpose of digging for gold from the bot
tom of the sea; but although much money1
has been spent in this direction. It does
not compare with the money spent for ap
paratus for working the various rivers of
the Klondike.
XEW FOREST RESERVE QUESTION.
How to Deal With Settlers "Whose
Lands Are Not Yet Surveyed.
WASHINGTON, May 23. At the time
of the proclamation creating the several
forest reserves in the State of Washing
ton, there were a great many settlers
within the limits of these reserves on
land which had never been surveyed, and
to which, consequently, no title could be
shown.
The question of how these settlers can
obtain title to their land has been be
fore the Commissioner ot the General
Land Office for some time. That depart
ment has now ruled that, according to
the terms of the several proclamations
creating the different forest reservations,
there was excepted from the force and
effect of forest reserve proclamations all
lands which were, prior to the date there
of, covered by any valid settlement made
In pursuance to law, and the statutory
period within which to make entry of
record had not expired, provided the set
tler continued to comply with the law
under which the settlement was made.
If such lands are unsurvcyed, the settler
has three months, after the filing of the
plat of survey in the local office, within
which to make his claim of record, pro
vided he has In the meantime compiled
with the law and is qualified to make en
try. It is stated by the department that the
unsurvcyed lands in the forest reserva
tions are being surveyed as rapidly as
the appropriations made for public sut
veys will admit.
Gnn.i for Pnllman College.
An effort la being made by the friends
of the Washington State Agricultural
College, at Pullman, to secure a couple of
modern breech-loading steel field guns
for use at that Institution. The guns now
in use arc said to be antiquated and of
very' little practical value for the purpose
of practice and training for the students.
The attention of the War Department has
been called by Senator Foster, and Gen
eral Buffington, Chief of Ordnance, states
that the college, by giving the proper
bond, will be furnished with two modern
guns. The law prescribes that the bond
shall be twice the value of the property
Issued. The price placed on the guns de
sired by the college Is approximately 510,-
000 each. This Includes all the necessary
equipment required to bring the gun Into
action. The exact value of one of the
guns Is 51799 72.
TO BUILD RAILROAD BRIDGE.
Trains "Will Soon Be Running: on the
Jlohank Branch.
EUGENE, May 27. Eleven skilled me
chanics arrived here yesterday, and have
gone to Hayden bridge, where they will
put together and erect the new steel rail
road bridge across the McKenzle at that
point. This Is the principal bridge on the
Mohawk branch line of the Southern Pa
cific There Is a smaller bridge to De
built where the road crosses the. Mohawk.
When these bridges are completed It will
be but a short time until the track Is laid
and trains will be running to the terminus
at Wendling. where the big mill of the
Booth-Kellcy Lumber Company Is situa
ted. Two men arrived yesterday from Crook
County, having come across the mount
ains by the McKenzle route. They are the
first to cross the mountains this season,
and report the snow so far gone as not
to prevent travel. Several men with teami
who were waiting on this side have gone
across.
Orders have been served for an exam
ination to be held in Eugene on Tuesday,
May 29, to determine the fitness of D. E.
Yoran and F. L. Chambers for commis
sions as Adjutant and Quartermaster, re
spectively, of the Fourth Regiment, O. N.
G.. to which positions they have been ap
pointed. Major M. 3L Ellis, who served
as Surgeon of the Second Oregon Vol
unteers, and enjoyed the reputation of
being one of the best surgeons of the
Eighth Army Corps, has accepted the po
sition of Regimental Surgeon.
ENDEAVORERS ADJOURN.
Exercises of the Last Day
of the
Session at Albany.
ALBANY, Or., May 27. The closing ex
ercises of the 13th annual gathering of
Christian Endeavorers of Oregon were
held today, after three days of earnest
work, making up in enthusiasm what was
lacking in the number in attendance of
members from other places, due to the
smaller delegations permitted. The usual
morning church services were held, but
the afternoon and evening were devoted
entirely to the Endeavorers.
In the afternoon, at the United Presby
terian Church, Hon. John G. Woolley,
the great temperance orator, spoke to one
of the largest Inside audiences ever gath
ered in the city, making a strong Impres
sion. His subject was "Christian Citizen
ship." In the evening at the same place, the
farewell services were held, always of
great Interest in the Christian Endeavor
convention. After a eong and prayer serv-
I ice. Rev. C W. Hayes, of Grant's Pass,
delivered the closing address of the con
vention. "Convention Theme," treating
in a comprehensive way of the work of
Christian Endeavorers, and their mission.
The consecration service, which always
closes a convention, -was conducted by
Rev. H. L. Reed, hi the absence of Pres
ident Montgomery, who had been obliged
to return to his work at Oregon City.
It was a fit ending of the convention, the
meeting adjourning and the members to
go to their homes bound by the ties of a
common Interest in a great work.

. CORVALLIS CREAMERY.
Portland Man Takes It and Will
Greatly Increase Its Output.
CORVALLIS, May Zi.J. C. Kaupisch,
of Portland, has leased the Corvallls
creamery, which has been operated for
two or three years past by George Tay
lor. The lease is for a period of five
years.
The local plant in the past has been
operated on a basis of receiving 3 cents
a pound from fanners for the manufac
ture of butter, which was marketed by
the creamery. Mr. Kaupisch proposes to
operate on this plan if the farmers pre
fer it, or to pay to farmers within 24
cents of the highest market price for their
butter fat. It Is also expected that skim
ming stations will be established along
the lino of the Corvallls & Eastern, and
that the local creamery -will be developed
until it becomes an important enterprise.
About $5000 per year has been tho limit
of the output in the past, but it is novr
expected that the annual product will
reach a value many times that amount.
The Southern Pacific Company was large
ly instrumental In arranging the change.
Mr. Kaupisch will take charge of the
plant June L

Sheepmen Want Early Assignments.
THE DALLES, Or., May 27. Captain
Ormsby, Superintendent of the Cascade
forest reserve, was in town to meet the
woolgrowers. 'who were In large numbers
here yesterday to receive allotments of
grazing lands for this season. Consider
able apprehension la felt that owing to
the red tape necessary to be observed,
the departure of sheep for the mountains
will bo somewhat delayed. This was gen
erally the case last year. The unexpected
delay in opening the reserve forced sheep
men to camp their herds outside the re
serve limits, to the detriment of local
stockowners, whose range was thus ex
hausted. Efforts will be made to secure
as early an entrance this year as possible.

DANUBE ON THE ROCKS
BIG CARGO AND PASSENGER LIST,
BUT LOSS SMALL.
Five Feet of Water la Her Hold
Will Go on Eaqnlmalt Ways
for Her Repairs.
SEATTLE, May 27. The steamer Dan
ube is on the rocks near Hospital Point,
Victoria. She was swept there- by a heavy
wind, which caught her broadside on
when she was swinging around into the
channel between the point and Lehl's
wharf. The accident happened last Thurs
day. She lies with a list of about 20 feet
to port. For a time there was five feet
of water in her after hold. Her entire
cargo has been unloaded.
She had on board when the accident
occurred one of the largest cargoes and
biggest complements of passengers that
she has carried since the opening of nav
igation last year. There were over 50 pass-angers,
and close on 600 tons of valuable
freight, consisting, for- the most part, of
groceries and supplies for Dawson. The
cargo was all, or nearly all, covered by
Insurance. The loss to the Insurance men
will not be very great, though, for the
cargo damaged by water was not large.
The steamer will go on tho Esquimau ma
rine ways for repairs.
Captain H. R. Foote was in charge of
the Danubo when she struck. Had she
been traveling fast she would probably
have cleared the rock, for the forward
part of the vessel passed over it without
touching. Then, too, had assistance been
received within half an hour of the time
she struck, the steamer would probably
have been easily freed. When she became
fast, the engines were reversed and every
effort made to free her, but all were use
less. Tho Danube has been rather unfortu
nate In comparison with the other vessels
of the Canadian Pacific Navigation fleet.
It Is only 11 months since she went on a
rock near Union, while bound to Skag
way with freight and passengers.
EASTERN" OREGON COPPER,
Extensive Development in Progress
In Baker County Mine.
BAKER CITY, May 27. J. N. Esselstyn.
G. G. McNamara, mining engineers and
metallurgists, and C. H. McEntire, a min
ing expert, have returned from a visit to
the North American Mining Company's
property, 18 miles northeast of Baker Cltyl
This Is probably the biggest copper prop
erty in the Northwest, and much devel
opment work has been done on it. It Is
owned by Illinois capitalists, and Mr.
Burke, of Chicago, Is president and man
ager. In speaking of the property, Mr.
Esselstyn said:
"There are about 25 men at work there,
and a shaft has been sunk to a depth of
ICO feet. A crosscut has been started to
the north and the south to crosscut the
ore body at -the bottom of the shaft. The
crosscuts are now about 25 feet from
breast to breast, and all the rock from the
surface down the entire, length of the
shaft, and In the crosscuts, shows free
metallic copper. On the surface, this im
mense ore deposit, apparently shows to be
1200 to 1500 feet in width, and the same
float Is found for five full claims and a
fraction of 300 feet in length.
"At the mine, the excavating for the
hoist and compressor plant Is finished and
a boiler Is also on the-ground. As soon
as the compressor arrives, development
work will be carried on very rapidly by
the use of No. 3 Ingersoll and Sargent
drills. There is also in the course of erec
tion a boarding-house and lodging-house
to accommodate 50 men; also, blacksmith
shops, stables, powder magazines and oth
er buildings which are necessary to carry
on extensive development work on a large
scale.
"About two miles above the mine, the
company has established a sawmill for
the purpose of supplying building mate
rial and mining timber. The mill is now
cutting between 5000 and 8000 feet of lum
ber a day, and at this point in the moun
tains there seems to be building up anoth
er village, with boarding-houses, resi
dences, etc Captain Evans, the superin
tendent, has constructed a first-class road
between the mine and the sawmill, and
he is putting everything Into such shape
that It Indicates the permanency of the
enterprise.
"This property will give employment to
more men than any other producing mine
in Eastern Oregon, as it will necessarily
have to produce not less than 1000 tons a
day to make it a dividend payer. The
method of treatment of the ore will be
similar to that of the mines of the Lake
Superior region, although it may be found
by experiment that the 'jlggs' that are
used in the Lake Superior country may
be dono away with on this property, ow
ing to the fineness of the metallic copper.
"The method of treatment in the Lake
Superior country Is crushing with steam
stamps, each stamp having a capacity of
230 to 375 tons every 24 hours. The crushed
product Is passed through and over a se
ries of 'Jlggs.' taking out the coarse or
shot copper. The fine particles of copper,
which are not caught by the 'Jlggs are
caught on the Evans slime table. At the
present time, the Calumet & Hecla Com
pany Is Installing a number of Wllfrey
tables. If this experiment proves a suc
cess I would not be surprised, owing to
the fineness of the copper here, that these
tables could be made to do the entire
work of the 'Jlggs and the Evans table."
A CniXAMAX ASSASSIXATED.
Skull Fractured and Thront Cut by
a Dlngrruntlcd Countryman.
COLFAX, Wash., May 27. Late last
night, a Chinese gambler named Chlng
was Attacked in a narrow alley, his skull
fractured by a heavy blow, and his throat
cut. The noise of the scuffle and of the
falling body was heard by the Chinese
in near-by houses, who ran out, and their
coming frightened the murderer away.
Ching died without regaining conscious
ness. A Chinaman called "Highbinder"
Is suspected. He has disappeared. Search
Is now being made for him.
Chlng and "Highbinder" came here to
gether. Both were disliked by the other
Chinese. At 11 o'clock last night, "High
binder" came to Chlng's table in a
gambling house and asked for money,
which Chlng refused. This was the last
seen of "Highbinder," so far as can be
learned. The Sheriff received a report
late this afternoon that a Chinese answer
ing "Highbinder's" description had been
seen early this morning on the railroad
track near Diamond, west of Colfax.
TOO MANY POWERS OF ATTORNEY.
By Their- tJae All Cnpe Nome Is Said
to Be Already Taken.
TACOMA, May 27. Powers of attorney
have been used so extensively at Cape
Nome tins Winter that it is doubtful if
any of the 20.0CO men now rushing north
ward will be able to secure claims in
Nome, York or the contiguous districts.
Abner Ellis, a mining expert, writing
from Juneau early in March, says that
several hundred men at Nome have spent
the entire Winter locating thousands ot
claims for themselves and for others by
power of attorney. It Is yet unknown at
Nome whether the powers of attorney
will be recognized by the Federal author
ities arriving this Summer to administer
the laws. Ellis says the rich part of the
beach so far as prospected is limited to 10
miles.
Hops Damaged by Wind:
DAYTON, May 27. Much damage was
done to the hop crop through this section
by heavy wind. The vines in some of
the yards were eo badly whipped and
bruised that they have turned black, the
heads having been broken, off entirely in
places where the wind had full sweep.
This, undoubtedly will damage the crop
to a great extent. Some yards that were
protected by timber did not suffer much
damage. The wind also blew off much of
the growing fruit.
The grain is all looking well. Clover
hay will make an. extra heavy crop this
year.

BAPTISTS FOR EXPANSION.
They Argue for Similar Extension of
Missionary Effort.
DETROIT, May 2T Expansion senti
ment was rife at the missionary mas3
meeting held tonight as one of the feat
ures of the American Baptist missionary
anniversaries. Dr. Hoyt, of Philadelphia,
quoted from a speech delivered by Senator
Hoar at a children's day celebration In
Massachusetts, five years ago. at which
time the anti-Imperialist statesman is re
ported to have said that the tree of 11b
ery and self-government, set out by the
fathers of the Republic, having spread
across the continent its roots, "would In
good time thrust themselves beneath the
waves and spread to the isle of the sea."
"This prediction," said Dr. Hoyt, "came
true more quickly than the distinguished
Senator anticipated, and evidently more
quickly than he desired. It is true Jhat
he made the eloquent statement in 1895,
and hundreds of anti-expanlonlsts in 1900
could not efface the effect of that truth
ful prediction."
Dr. Hoyt argued eloquently for expan
sion in missionary effort, keeping pace
at least with tho progress of the American
flag.
Madison C. Peters, D. D., of New York.
also argued strongly for political and re
ligious expansion. "Nations." said he,
"ought not to stand still when God says
'Go forward. Spain thoroughly deserved
a good, sound thrashing, and I thank God
our Nation was chosen to administer it.
We found ourselves, after Dewey's vic
tory, where we never Intended to be, and
did not want to be, but. God helping us,
we'll never retreat from the duties thus
laid upon us. We would be traitors to
the flag and enemies to the cross, did we
leave these peoples to retrogression and
savagery. We do not want these terri
tories for ourselves, but to give these peo
ples free schools, free Institutions and
free churches."
One of the Sunday features was the
dedication this afternoon of the new mis
sionary chapel car, "Herald of Hope."
Impressive Service at Eugene.
EUGENE, May 27. Memorial services
