Nine hun dred men are working on the road along the lake. One piece of the road there ranks among the most costly in America. A mile of the road will cost $250,000. Ordi nary railroads cost $10,000 a mile. A giant blast was set off on the lake shore a few days ago that removed S000 cubic yards of rock. A larger one will he fired In a few days that will remove 15,000 cubic yards. Five tons of powder will be used, and the shot will be one of the largest ever fired on the coast. It will cost about $2000. Many men are quitting work on the road to go to the various interior mines. Fifty quit yesterday. The road employes 1500 men and pays $3 30 a day of 11 hours on the extension. Five hundred more men are wanted. No Gold at Haines.

The town of Sunrise has had a popula tion of 150 during the "Winter, and Is ex pected to have 250 In the Summer. Hope, on Turnagain Ann, has 75 population. A FAVORABLE REPORT. Brought by Wisconsin Investigators In St. Helens Gold District. CHEHALIS. "Wash., May 30. The com mittee of stockholders who visited the St. Helena mining district to Investigate the properties of the St. Helens Gold Min ing Company returned this week and have gone to Milwaukee to report to the mem bers of the company. From conversations with the citizens of Chehalis It is known that the report will be favorable, and that development work will be pushed the com ing Summer. The first work that will probably bo done will be the driving of ttvo tunnels, each 300 feet in length, on two of the claims. There Is no road Into the St. Helens district, and the trail Is very long and difficult to travel. An ef fort will be made to get the Cowlitz County Commissioners to appropriate money to build a road up the middle fork of the Toutle River, and a road to ln tercept that road will probably be built from Mayfield on the Chehalls-Mossyrock road to Oleson's, a distance of six or eight miles. STRIKE OX WAGNER CREEK. Rich Ledge of Free-Milling Gold Found by Old Miners. ASHLAND, Or., May 30. A very rich strike that Is causing much excitement has been made on "Wagner Creek, a few miles from town, on the Growler, owned by Messrs. Corbett, Shupe and another miner, who have been prospecting several claims in that vicinity for the past few years. The rich discovery, which dis closes more free gold than any heretofore known on any "Wagner Creek ledge. Is in a new spot, and about SO feet from the old Growler prospect shaft. A good body of very rich free-milling ore Is already exposed, and nuggets of considerable value have been taken out. It is claimed that this is the most important strike ever made In the "Wagner Creek district. The .Growler prospect lies In line pre sumably of the Ashland ledge, and to the south of the Ashland mine. Gold, Copper and Lead. COTTAGE GROVE. Or., May 30. A. D Le Roy, a miner who has been pros pecting and mining In the Bohemia dis trict for a number of years, came in last night and reports a very rich find on some property that he is Interested in in the Champion Canyon. The ledge Is nine feet wide and 26 Inches of this nine feet Is immensely rich rock, and the gold can be seen In the quartz. Samples brought out confirm this report. Another sample was brought from a lower level, which is heavily mineralized, showing gold, cop per and lead. This level will tap the mine at a vertical depth of 775 feet under No. 2 leveL CRUSHED BY WHEAT. Small Boy "Knifed" a Sack and Un dermined n Pile. "Walla "Walla Union. Edward Tattersoll, a 10-year-old boy, was playing with some companions In the Farmers warehouse, on North Fourth street. Sunday, when he became the vic tlme of a peculiar accident. Considerable wheat is piled up in the warehouse, and the boys were amusing themselves by climbing ove- the sacks. After a while this grew monotonous, and the TattersoC boy took his knife and cut a hole In the sack at the bottom of & tier. The wheat poured out on the floor, and the foundation being thus undermined., the sacks above tumbled down. The boy was buried among them. His playmates called for help, and several men went to his assist ance. Dr. Cropp was called, and found that the boy had suffered a slight concus slon of the spine, and one of his teeth, was knocked out. The injuries are not serious, but -the physician states It Is marvelous how he escaped death. FORMER EDITOR IX THE CRASH. Member of the Collapsed Prlce-Mc-CormlcU Brokerage Firm.

Six hundred dollars has been subscribed to defray the expenses of a Fourth ol July celebration at Chehalis. The raising of the funds was easy, but it seems a difficult matter to find people to take hold and perform the necessary committee work to make the event the succei It should be. Those who contribute money seem to have the impression that their part ends with the subscription of funds. Xevrs Xotes From Astoria. ASTORIA, May 30.

SPORT AT PARIS EXPOSITION America Granted Practically Every thing Asked For. NEW YORK, May 30. A. G. Spalding, director of the athletic sports at the Paris exposition, arrived on the Kaiser Wllhelm der Grosse. Mr. Spalding spent two weeks In Paris acquainting himself with the arrangements for the athletic games, which will be an Important fea ture In the exposition, and he returns well pleased with the result of his short visit. He says that practically everything America has asked for has been granted. The most delicate request, and one caus ing considerable discussion, was the ques tion of changing the dates of the Sunday games that the American athletes ex pect to take part In. Mr. Spalding pre sented an appeal from the Inter-Colle-glate Association and other letters, had personal Interviews with the French of ficials and thought at one time It would be Impossible to so arrange the dates that they would meet the wishes of the Inter-Colleglate Association. On arrival In "New York, he was advised that his assistant director, De Garmendla, has cabled that all the championship games in which Americans would appear had been changed. A 25-mile Marathon road race has been added to the run on July 19. A valuable prize will be given the winner. This event was added at the special request of President Pabbe, of the New England Association, to give the American long distance runners a chance to compete against the world. The standing high Jump and standing broad Jump were add ed to the programme also, and the petition of the William Barry Association to have a Gaelic football competition between their team and some others not yet select ed has "been granted. Thus far America has secured special favor from the French officials, and, in fact, a friendly disposition has been shown to do everything In their power to make It possible for this country to be properly represented. America will be well represented officially at the meet, and the American athletic authorities who may be in Paris during the games will be cordially invited to officiate. The rules under which all the athletic events will be contested are to a certain extent framed after the rules of the English Athletic Association. Mr. Spalding brings with him very fa vorable Information for the amateur ath letes that are going as to the height of the hurdles and the number of hurdles In each event and the obstacles and number of same in the steeplechase, the kind of hammer that will be allowed in the throwing competition, and other Informa tion which will be translated and pub lished as soon as possible.

TO PUT DOWN THE RIOTS ST. LOUIS POLICE BOARD CALLS FOR A POSSE COMITATUS. One Thousand Cltlscns Will Be S-rrern la to Assist the Sheriff Lh11 la. the Disorders. ST. LOUIS, May 30. All the pent-up fury of the striking employes of the St. Louis Transit Company and their sym pathizers seems to have been expended. for yesterday's violent demonstration and ' scenes of bloodshed were followed today I by a pronounced lull. Up to 10 o'clock to- night only one name had been added to the long casualty list, that of Anton Chaiupsky, who was shot In the legs by a policeman. Chaiupsky and his wife were standing at the corner of Twelfth and Emmet THE POWER BEHIND THE CITIZENS" TICKET. It Stands for No Principles, and WH! Serve Only Personal Ends. Reprinted from The Oregonlan, May 26. The Citizens ticket . . . was elected without regard to party lines, the dominant purpose being to choose the men most eminently qualified to act conceitedly with other lawmakers of the state in the Legislature. Mltchell-McBrlde Campaign Gazette. The rest of the state Is overwhelmingly Republican, and both branches of the Legislature will be controlled by the Republicans. Mltchell-McBrlde Campaign Pamphlet. These are extracts from circulars with which the Mltchell-Mc-Bride cress bureau has flooded Multnomah County. They show completely the lines along which the Federal machine is working. The essence of their promise to the voters Is that certain desired re forms will be granted If 1. The Republican ticket la not snccessfal la Multnomah Connty. 2. The Republican ticket Is successful outside of Multnomah Connty. , The necessary Inference Is that the Republican candidates here are untrustworthy, and will betray the people; and that the Re publicans of the state at large are trustworthy and will not betray the people. And, per contra, the Fusionlsts of Multnomah are hon est friends of the people and the burdened taxpayer, and all other Fusionlsts are not. Geographical lines are thus seen to make a vital difference In the integrity of both parties. If some way could ue de vised to Induce every. Republican to move into the country, and every Fusionlst to come to the city, the moral tone of the whole state would be vastly lifted, an Ideal political situation would result, and everybody would be happy. But let us examine the names of the Republicans for whom the inspired McBride-Mltchell critics have such a low opinion, and of the Fusionlsts for whom they entertain such a high opinion. The Legislative candidates for this county are as follows, the first being Republican, the second "Citizens": State Senators Geo. W. Bates. Sylvester Farrell, Donald Mackay, J. Thorburn Ross, Joint Senator Ben P. Cornelius. Representatives C. W. Gay, Geo. T. Myers, F. H. Alllston, W. E. Thomas, Geo. L. Story, Geo. R. Shaw, John K. Kollock, J. C Bayer. Frank F. Freeman, E. E. Mallory, L. B. Seeley, A. L. Mills. Joint Representative A. S. Dresser, Comparisons are invidious, but The Oregonlan submits that, taken man for man, the Republican candidates are gentlemen whose per sonal standing Is quite as high as their opponents', and whose rec ords entitle them to as full a measure ot public confidence. It feels satisfied that they will discharge every duty they owe to this county as conscientiously and Intelligently as the Fusionlsts. But there are broader grounds for their election, which to every supporter of Re publican principles and every opponent of Democratic principles ought to be conclusive. These reasons In brief are that they are the Republican candidates. Their election will do much It may indeed be necessary to keep Oregon In the Republican column. It makes for the maintenance of Republican policies. They will have 18 votes In the election of a United States Senator In 1901, and five votes in 1903. Every consideration of prudence and of sound policy re quires that all Republicans vote for these 18 candidates, unless they have a better reason for preferring: the others. Neither the personnel of the Fusion ticket nor. the principles it repre sents presents the better reason. The "Citizens" nominees profess to be especial champions of the Bingham primary law, tax reform, and a new, charter. How do they propose to get them? By defeating the Republican nominees here, and guaranteeing that the Legislature will nevertheless be Republi can. They think It vital to the interests of the state that the Legis lature be Republican, and that the way to persuade that Republican body to make concessions to certain agitators and reformers In Port land Is to send to Salem a Fusion delegation of 12 Democrats and six Republicans. The real reformer Is the practical reformer who proceeds In a practical way to secure his ends. The bogus reformer only proposes to qualify for the favorable consideration o a Repub lican Legislature by moving heaven and earth to defeat Republican candidates. How can such persons make the issue against Republi cans that they are antagonistic to them, and then hope to enforce their demands on a Republican lawmaking body? Some of these Citizens candidates have been at great pains to assure the people that, despite plain evidence to the contrary, they are still loyal Republicans. Mr. Mays said as much at West Port land last Saturday night. Mr. Hunt Is a Republican otHce-holder under the city administration. Dr. Smith was made County Physi cian as a Republican, and now advertises himself as an Independent Republican. Mr. Inman Is a Democrat who (presumably) voted for McKlnley a queer way of manifesting his devotion to silver. Just as voting for his associates will be a singular method for any Republi can to show his friendship for the gold standard. Mr. Nottingham still claims to be as sound a Republican as any other person in Port land, and so doubtless do Mr. Tarpley and Mr. Thompson. Exclud ing Mr. Inman, here are six out of 18 nominees who do not agree with their colleagues on matters of National policy, and who want it understood that in questions of this kind the line must be drawn. It Is well known that these six gentlemen expect to vote for Mr. Mc Brlde for Unl'td States Senator. That Is what they were put up for. Now let us see who McBrlde Is. We have his own word for It given through his press bureau In that Justly celebrated eulogy for which he considerately furnished th e alleged facts that he is the original gold-standard Senator from the great West. Just listen to this mod est tribute to true worth: The Senator who pioneered this remarkable movement In the far West Is now, properly enough, one of the leaders of his party. His courage in standing alone four years ago has noC only brought a goodly number of recruits to his side, but It has, aided by his strong qualities as a man and as a Senator, given him a high place In the councils of his party. Without ostentation, without self-seeking, without brilliant speech-making or any fictitious art of attracting attention. Senator McBrlde has ad vanced to the very front rank on the Republican sldo of the chamber. Few men In five years of service have risen to such prominence or at tained position in which they could be of so much service to their constit uents. The Senatorial campaign is now on In his state, and Republican Senators without exception are glad to hear that there Is little or no doubt of his re-election. In the vernacular of the day, wouldn't that Jar you? And this magnificent leader of his party, great though dumb, submits his bril liant Republican record to his constituents, and asks the Democratic party for re-election through indorsement of his six candidates run ning with Its 12 candidates. streets during the progress of a small sized demonstration near by, and Police man Hlmeles told them to move on. Chaiupsky thought he had a right to re main if he pleased, and so Informed the officer. A second order was given, and when Chaiupsky refused, he says, the of ficer used his. baton on his head. Chaiup sky and his wife then assailed the officer with a shower of brickbats. One of them struck Hlmeles en the arm, painfully in juring him. Hlmeles drew his revolver and fired twice at Chaiupsky, wounding him In each leg. An ambulance conveyed Chaiupsky to the City Hospital, where his Injuries were dressed. His condition Is not serious. Public Interest in the strike veered to day to the spoc'al meeting of the Police Board, called for the purpose of devlflng heroic measures to bring order out of the strained condition 'Of affairs. The board met during the afternoon and at once decided to call upon Sheriff Pohlmann to summon a posse comltatus to assist in quelling the disturbances Incident to the street-car strike, having failed In Its ef forts to secure 2500 extra policemen to preserve law and order. The action of the board seems to have been precipitated by the four riots In the southern part of the city yesterday, during the progress of which 11 persons received wounds. Sher- j iff Pohlmann was present and heiu a conference with the commissioners. He stated that he had anticipated such a. call, and had prepared a list of 600 names, including many of the leading citizens of St Louis, on whem he will call to serve as" deputies. After the meeting President Havre, of the board, said the dignity of the city and law both required that all local agencies for the preservation of law and order should be Invoked before a demand was made upon the state to assist In preserv ing order. The commissioners had. he eald, asked the Sheriff to summon a posse of 1000 men for this purpose, and the Sheriff had promised to secure them by Friday morning, serving processes upon the best citizens. If; the flrsVcall for 10C0 men did not prove effective In the next few days, the commissi sners would sum mon another 1000 and put down disorder in the city from whatever eource It- might come. If It took 10 times the number of men asked for In the first call. A Strike Declared Oft. KANSAS CITY, May 30. The strike of State Senators Andrew C. Smith, James E. Hunt, F. P. Mays, R. D. Inman.

James Fin negan, a recluse, living In the northern part of Perry County, was fatally tortured by masked robbers last night. The old man could not be made to tell where his money was hidden, and the robbers beat and burned him with a red-hot shovel until he was unconscious, then they gagged him, covered him with a feather bed and left him to die. He was found by neighbors this evening, and cannot live , until morning. MANY MARINE DISASTERS PORTLAND GRAIN FLEET IS SAIL ING IX HARD LUCK. Oae Oatvrard and One Inward-Bound 3hlp Proved Total Losses and Minor Accidents Were Many. The returns are not oil In yet, but from those at hand, it Is apparent that the 1S03 1900 grain fleet from Portland was an un lucky one, for the underwriters. The total loss of the Wandsbek near the Lizard a few days ago, was the most disastrous for tho underwriters,, as vessel and cargo both went by the board- The Amphltrite, sail ing earlier In the season, put Into Fayal leaking, and was obliged to discharge sev eral hundred tons of her cargo before she could proceed to her destination. This cost the underwriters several thousand dollars, and they were even harder hit by the Blythes-jvood. which put Into Val paraiso leaking, and with about every thing movable swept from her. Another expensive bill had to be footed In San Francisco- for repairs to the Ancyra, which collided with a coasr-a few days after leaving Portland, and had a narrow es cape from total loss. The Dumrldgo was caught by a hurricane In the Atlantic, and limped Into Quecnstown sufficiently de moralized to require the expenditure of a large sum of money to make her "good again. These five cases were tho worst that have happened to the outward-bound fleet, but of tho in-bound fleet there was about a dozen Insurance Jobs, with a month ot the season yet to run. The disappearance of the Annie Thomas, and her probable loss with all on board, was the worst dis aster to the en-route vessels, but among the others which proved costly for the underwriters were the Marechal "VHllers, which spent about Ave months at Monte video repairing damages received while on the voyage out from France. The Inverness-shlre lost anchors and chain and sustained other damage at Honolulu; the East African was on fire, and sustained damages, and on expensive lawsuit, which has not yet been settled, at Honolulu. The Macduff made the longest passage on record, between Calcutta and Portland, and the St. Enoch made a similar run be tween Panama and Portland, reinsurance in both cases reaching dizzy heights. The Argus, now in port. Is receiving costly repairs, due to a collision with the Iolani, and the Lizzie Bell and her cargo are both the worse for wear, on account of con tinued tussles with the elements. The Magdalene-Margretha collision In Portland harbor cost In the neighborhood of 520.000, and thero were a number of insurance Jobs of smaller proportions. Aside from the property loss on the ves sels mentioned, the yellow fever at Pan ama killed about 20 men on the ships Edenballymore, Aldebaran and Glenholm; the captains of the Neck and Adolf died on passage between the Pacific, and the mate on the American ship T. F. Oakes was brutally murdered on board the ship In Portland harbor. Taking all of these hard-luck stories Into consideration. It will be seen that the present season's fleet ha3 had more misfortune than usual, and In the aggregate these losses must have made serious Inroads on the underwriters' profits. MADE A HANDSOME PROFIT. Steamer City of Eugene Sold Yester day at a Liberal Advance. The hoodoo Is lifted from the freak steamer City of Eugene, and during the past month she has made more money for her owners than she ever did before since she has been running. When her origi nal owners got her loaded to the guards with debt, sho passed under the hammer at United States Marshal's sale, about a month ago. M. Olsen, the speculator, and Ben McCauley, the hotel man, bought her In for $1000. They were subjected to some good-natured Joshing from their friends, but steamboatment who knew the Intrin sic value of the machinery In the unlucky packet, considered It a bargain. Yester day the speculators vindicated their Judg ment by selling the steamer to the Charles K. Spaulding Logging Company, of New berg., for $4000. the net profits resulting being quite satisfactory returns for a month's work with a boat while sho was tied to the bank. Marine Notes. The steamer Columbia arrived In from San Francisco yesterday morning, and after tho usual rest at quarantine In As toria, proceeded up the river, reaching Portland about 7 o'clock last evening. Captain George Delano and Chief Mate Wallace Delano, of the barkentlne Ad denda, now loading at Knanpton for San Francisco, were in the city yesterday. The British ship Senator arrived at Vlo. toria Monday, after a rattling passage o; 43 days from Callao. This Is said to be very close to the record between tho two ports. Work on the new steamer for the Tlll mook route Is progressing rapidly, and the steamer will be well along toward comple tion In another fortnight.

Upon the three oc casions when he appeared as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Disraeli's budgets and budget speeches appear to us far abler than the numerous, voluminous and much-vaunted performances of his rival Gladstone in the same capacity. But no body supposed that a Chancellor of the Exchequer has anything to do -with finance as the work Is understood In the city. His figures are worked u-p for him by the permanent officials, and his suc cess or failure depends upon his knowl edge or ignorance of human nature. In the methods by which large fortunes are gained. Disraeli's Interest was that of the satirical novelist. Of the countless opportunities of making money safely and quietly, which his friendship with the Rothschilds afforded, he disdained to avail himself. But his pecuniary difficulties are usually exag gerated. His father left him 30.000. At the age of 35 he married Mrs. Wyndham Lewis and 000 a year. Mrs. Brydges Williams sent him a check for 40,000 which, according to Sir William Fraser. he left for several days In an unopened envelope, and after his wife's death he drew, when out of office, a first-class po litical pension of 2000 a year. Besides these sources of income, he made a good deal by his books, such sums as 10,000 being mentioned In connection with "Lo thatr," which was published In lSTO, and "Endymlon," which appeared shortly be fore his death. As he had no children. it seems Impossible that Disraeli should ever have been really distressed for money (he had no contest after 1S46). though the gossip was that he backed D'Orsay's bills, and suffered In consequence years ot annoyance.

Theodore Roosevelt, in Scrlbners. Contrast Cromwell's conduct with that of Lincoln Just before his second election as President. There was a time In the Summer of 1SS4 when It looked as If the Democrats would win and elect McClel- THE FAT IN the food supplies warmth and strength ; without it the digestion, the muscles, the nerves and the brain are weak, and general debility follows. But fat is hard to di gest and is disliked by many. supplies the fat in a form pleasant to take and easy to digest. It strengthens the nerves and muscles, invig orates mind and body, and builds up the entire system. 5c. and f .. H-dracriw, SCOTT & BOWNi, Chsiaiiu, Neir York. Ian. At that time it was infinitely more essential to the salvation of the Union that Lincoln should be continued in power than it was to the salvation of the com monwealth In 1634 that Cromwell should be continued In power. Lincoln would have been far more excusable than Crom well If he had insisted upon keeping con trol. Yet such a thought never entered Lincoln's head. He prepared to abide in good faith the decision of the people, and one of the most touching Incidents of his life Is the quiet and noble sincerity with which he mado preparations. If McClel lan were elected, to advise with him and help him in every way, and to use hi own power during the Interval between McClellan's election and inauguration la such a manner as would redound moat to the advantage of the latter, and would Increase as far as possible the chance for the preservation of the Union. It waa at this time in Cromwell's life that, at the parting of the ways, he chose the wrong way. Great man though he was, and far though the good that he did outbalanced the evil, yet he lost tho right to stand, with men like Washington and Lincoln la modern times, and with the very, very few who. like Tlmoleon, In some measure approached their standard In ancient times.
