A blank vote on the amendments counts a "no" vote, according to the construction here given, so that while the equal suffrage amendment, at first thought, seems to be defeated by only 2137 votes, when the to tal number of votes cast In the state shall have been ascertained.

A GOPHER DID IT. Bnrroim a. Role and Tarnk the Water Company's Ditch Into the Fields. Yakima Republic. Last Sunday night the ditch of tho Water fc Light Company broke banks about half a mile above the power-house and flooded the surrounding fields. tThe break was caused by a gopher bur rowing through the bank and giving the confined waters a start. The accident was discovered about 2 o'clock In the morning, and Manager AI Whltsoa was notified. He was soon on the scene, but even after the distant headgate was closed enough water passed through the breach to cause considerable damage. The liberated torrent crossed James Fletcher's orchard, filled his well, killed 125 chickens, soaked his haystacks, then crossed the road and did a yariety of damaging things to the places of Charles Nelson, William Mclvor and E. Happy. It will cost the company between 5300 and 400 to repair the ditch. The men who suffered by the break estimated their collective damages at $1500. Monday af ternoon they had a party, consisting of R. A. Grant, Nels Short. G. H. Moulton and I Zenovltch. view the land for the pur pose of appraising the losses.

This is in the Government reserve. A few years ago. Just before the rserre was made, a claim was taken up by Clyde Mansfield, of this city, covering a large number of hot springs, which have proved to be of sufficient value to create interest in the place as a resort. A trail has been made from Detroit to the springs, and already there are about 50 people there to secure the benefit of the hot water In mud and other baths. Eggs and rice are easily cooked in the water. With modern improvements It is thought the springs would be as valuable for -Health purposes as any In California. A few weeks ago a man was carried to the springs, 'being too helpless to walk. In a short time he was one of the most active persons there. Many like cases are told. It of fers an opening for one of the prominent mountain resorts of the coast when prop erly Improved. Pensions for the TCortkvreat. WASHINGTON, June 20.

Railroad, and Telesrapb , Balldlng: Rave Alarmed the Chinese. "WASHINGTON, June 24. Tejegraphs and railways appear to be among the causes of the anti-foreign riots now in progress In China. The development of this feature of modern enterprise In China Is described In conslderanlndetall In a re cent publication of the Treasury. Bureau of Statistics, entitled "Commercial China in 1899." It shows that the telegraph sys tem of China Included In 1899 about 2000 miles of line In operation, and that the railroad system included 0 miles of road In active operation and over 2000 miles of pro3ected. The telegraph system con nected an of the capitals of the provinces with the national capital, Pekin, and in turn connected with the Russian trans Slberlarr telegraph line and the ocean cables: but it appears from the recent reports that those lines have in many cases been destroyed by the. anti-foreign mobs and armies. The railways thus far constructed be long to the Chinese Government, and were constructed under its control and direc tion and at its expense. They connect Pekln, the capital, with Tien- Tain, which lies at the head of the Gulf of Pe Chi LI, and Is the seaport of , Pekfn, while other lines run northwardly from Tien Tsln to Shan Hal Kwan, nnd still others extend southwardly from lekin as far as Poa Ting, the capital of ne .Province of ChlXJ, in which Pekin is located. From that point southward a railway was be ing constructed in 189s bjy Belgian cap ital, though It was suspected that Rus sian" influence and perbapq Juseian cap ital was associated in this jpork. This line Tas expected to extend, to Hankow, which may be described as the Chicago of China, being its best afl'd largest and most, prosperous inland commercial city, located 500 miles up the "Sangtso Klang from Shanghai, which lies i at the 'mouth of that river. "Hankow Is a city of nearly 3,000,000 Inhabitants, and itrwas expected that the Belgian line would connect Pe kln, ,whlch lies "well at the, north, with with Hankow, located nejuf 'the center, and that an American nnef would extend still further south from Hankuw to Can ton and Hong Kong. The American line waa surveyed by a corps of engineers under W. BV Parsons, of -New York, in 1893 and '189 under a concession granted by the, Chinese Gov ernment to Calvin Brlce, ugh J. Grant, Thurlow Weed. Barnes aniC pthers, and this'llnel like all others for which con cessions havo been granted;' was after a term of years to become" the property of the Chinese Government. 1$ was expect ed that this American line, running from Hong Kong and Canton ndrthward to Hankow and connecting fLt that point with the Belgian line which would ex tend ,to Pekln, would form ah extremely Important artery of internal commerce from China's most impor,tan southern city. Canton, and Its most .Important cen tral city, Hankow, and thence to Its cap ital at the north, Pekin, front which point it wouia connect with the Russian rail way system which enters Chlha4ln Man churiaat tho extreme north! Numerous other railways, hayo been sur veyed and some of them wfre, under con struction. The German Government has been encouraging the construction of rail ways in the Province of -Shantung, In Which Its port of Klao ChaU, is located, while concessions to British, companies authorize the construction of lines along a large share of the eastern coast and extending" up the valley of the West River to the borders of Burmah, where it was expected they would finally connect with the railway system of India. The railways projected in China and for which concessions had been granted con templated a length of more than 3000 miles, and It was confidently expected that their construction would bring tho trans-Siberian system of Asiatic Russia into touch with the trans-Indian system of British India, which in turn would finally, connect with the railway systems of Southern Europe, and thus give to the world an lnter-continental belt lino stretching northwardly from Northern Europe through Russia and Siberia, thence southwardly through China, thence westwardly again through Bur mah, India, Persia and Turkey in Eu rope to a connection with' the railway systems of Southern Europe. What the effect of the- hostilities in China with reference to works of this character will be cannot now be fore told. Russia controls a . long stretch of territory along the north, and England the territory of British India and Bur mah at the southwest. Railway lines ex isting or projected extend from the ter ritory of both of those countries into tho very heart of China, and - intermingled with and an Important link among these Is the great American enterprise already alluded to, upon which a company had, according to the statements ot accepted authorities In railway matters, arranged for the expenditure of $20,000,000 of Amer ican funds. i Domestic and Foreisrs Porti.

' EncrsT In Plants. Mehan's Monthly. Live plants are plants, with their parti cles In motion building up the plant's structure. This motion Is known as vi tal energy. Physical energy results in decomposition. The material out of which plant structure Is formed Is known as protoplasm. The forms of flowers result from varying degrees nnd directions of vital energy but what starts the motion of protoplasm, and so directs the energy that a little cell may develop In one in stance to an oak, or in another to a but tercup, has not been demonstrated.

Drake, of Portland, who is operating some claims In the Sparta district, la at present Inspecting the Stras burg group, on Olive Creek, In which he Is Interested. While the Colonel is an ardent advocate of free silver, he Is par tial to gold-bearing ores, and prefers them free. John J. Penhole, of Sherbrooke, Canada, has made the final payment of $30,000 for the purchase of the Bunker Hill mine. The people of Eastern Canada are gradually acquiring a footing here. Mr. Penhole re turned East with the deed, but will be back In a few weeks with several capital ists seeking investments. Mr. Penhole Is superintendent of the Bonanza West, ad Joining the Bonanza. The event of the week is the rich ore encountered In the cross-cut tunnel being run on the Umpqua group, situated four miles from. Sumpter, on the Ibex road, be tween McCulIough Fork and O'Farrell Gulch. When In 220 feet Cha ledcra wns rut and a sample of blue black ore, similar in appearance to that of tho Golconda and Columbia, average across, assayed $24S4S In gold. The ledgo has. been cut seven feet, and there Is no sign of the wall yet. As the surface Bhowing is very strong, about 20 feet, it Is thought at least 30 feet of a ledge will bo encountered. Two other ledges were cut wtth the tunnel, one show ing values of $5 to $S and the other $27 33. The whole formation Is highly mineralized and streaked with quartz stringer. The surface values In this property are low, seldonr showing more than a trace; one assay, however, going $7 40, fumlshss an other proof that -values increase with depth! The tunnel cut the ledge at a depth of 175 feet. This rich plum, was plucked by Messrs. H. W. Miller an J. a Aiken, of Rose burg. James Dreiman and W. F. Burlleen were owners of the claim, and endeavored to Interest local capital, but without suc cess; and It was presented to Miller & Aiken, who made a thorough eramlnatlon and accepted tho property on March 20, 1900, since which time work has been pushed day and night. The group orig inally consisted of the Gold Hill, Grand Prizo and American. A few weeks ago they purchased tho Chance from M. F" Blodgett, and added It to the now famous group. There Is an abundant nt im)w good water power at hand, but the ore will probably bo treated at the smelter as It is a down-grade over good roads and the character of the ore will give a low rato for. treatment. The other claims will bo opened up at once, so the extent and vahie of the property can be determined. j.ne iorxunaxe owners will be rewarded OTrer a thousand fold for their Investment. This property is only a short distance from the Ibex. Bald Mountain, Grand Trunk and .other promising properties. An Illustration was furnished this week of the proneness of men to seek the inac cessible portions of the world for riches. While golden treasures are lying un touched at their doors. An Alaska pros pector, Mr. J. H. Bush, told of an im mensely rich creek bed he had accidental ly found In Alaska, while trying to escape from a severe storm. His story was well told, and little effort was required to se cure more money than he asked to pilot a crowd to the frozen. Klondike. His efforts met with such success that he con cluded he had placed his price too low, got he raised It $500, which was more than the subscribers would stand, and the deal was declared, off. Approach these men for money to develop a local prospect, and you are met with an ley stare. While this is today a quartz district, there are several good placer properties being worked. Mlnot Austin reports a rich clean-up from his placers near Bo nanza, one pan from bedrock yielded $24. Of course, this was after the dirt had been washed off. This property was pur chased last Spring for $15,000, and enough has already been taka out to more than pay for the property. It is estimated' there Is still $100,000 In tne ground. There are other good placers, but returns from their clean-ups havo not been received. Tho smelter was not started this week, as expected, the delay being caused by lack of ore to work on. Several loads of ore were hauled In by Sam Hayes from his Quartzburg property. Two tons came from Huston & Houser's Copper King, near Quartzburg, and four carloads were received from the Copper Butte property, near Baker City. The facilities for hauling ore are limited, and the prices asked simply prohibitive. This, however, will be adjusted in time soon as It be comes known there is a demand for freight outfits. The smelter Is laying in a supply of lime rockifrom its mine, also iron ore, to be used as fluxes. Mr. Laughlln states that he expects to start the smelter about the first of July, believing that by that date a supply of ore will be on band Onion Creek, V& miles southwest of the 13)ex, Is conring' to the front again. In early days the bed of the creek was placered and returned good money for the work. When the washing was stopped a prominent ledge was disclosed, but re mained Idle until lost FalL when it was discovered by Gay Reeder, an experienced prospector from the Kootenai Lake, B. C, who located the first claim In the Ains worth, B. C. district. There are three groups of claims on thls creek. The Blue Bell Mining Company, of Spokane, owns two claims at the bead of tho creek, on which only location work has been done. J. Vandorn. of the com pany, has purchased an outfit and supplies and work was started this week to open up the property under the superlntendency of Mr. Reeder. They will cross-cut to the ledge, then follow the ore. The La Grande Mining Company, owning adjoining property, has ordered a pump and hoist for further development work. J. Herrin, formerly of Republic, is in charge of the work. They have shafts down 30 and 20 feet on the ledge, showing 20 feet of high-grade ore. The Cumberland Mining Company is also arranging to develop its property. At present It is thoroughly prospecting the surface to ascertain where work can be done to best advantage. While sinking Is the mode followed in mo3t mining sections to open prospects, it is rare here and only done by experi enced mining men from other sections. In no other portion of this country is there greater activity than on Congo Creek. The first property Is the Rd Boy, where the stamp mill and cyanide plant are kept running night and day, while development work is being pashed and preparations made for deep mining. The Concorn. adjoining the Red Boy, Is being thoroughly explored by tunneling, cross cuts and drifts. The dump shows some fine ore. The Chelan group is the next up the creek, where W. E. Hurd. of Port land, is superintending work for himself and Eastern capitalists. Mr. Hurd stated that when they took up the property one year ago, there was little work done; to day they have two crews at work. On the Chelan claim there is some 700 feet of tunnel work. In this a six-foot and a 40 foot ledge were encountered, and the tun nel is now being driven Into the hill to tap another ledge. The 40-foot ledge has been drifted In 150 feet. On the Bailey there Is a 100-foot tunnel; on the Golden Eagle,, 325, and on ttie Philadelphia and Nora, 50 and 60 feet of tunnel work. Drs. Cornelius and Littlefidd. with Mr. Hurd. have several claims further up on the hill, where work Is being done on the Orphan. Boy, a tunnel being in 100 feet. Dr. Cornelius is at the property looking after the work, and enjoying an outing in the beautiful Greenhorns. Joseph McKee and W. E. Hurd are de veloping the Silver Crown and Fourth of July claims In the Greenhorn Mountains, near Olive Lake. Mr. McKea 13 at the claims, and Mr, Hurd is procuring sup plies for the Summer work. Mr. Hurd says, at present they have only prospects, but the showing Is good, the ledges are large, and values good, and they got an assay of $69 from an average sample of ore. J. H. Hubbard took out an outfit this week for a season's work on the Dewey, In which R. B. Knapp, also of Portland, Is Interested. Their property is near Olive Lake WORTHY OF DAVID HARUM. A Rlt otSnrnp Trnainsr Wlilr'a Toole Place in the South. Memphis Commercial. David Harum was a good horse-trader, but a recent transaction in horse flesh which was made by a well-known Mem phlan shows that there are others who know how to get the long end of a horse trade. Several weeks ago this Memphis man saw a fine bugy horse which he thought he wanted. He located the owner and asked the price. "One fifty," was the reply. After looking the animal over closely and trying her speed he conclud ed It was a good trade and without more ado wrote a check for the amount. The next day he found that the mare was as blind as a bat. but this did not hinder her speed nor detract from her general appearance. He drove the animal for several weeks and succeeded In at tracting the admiration of another lover of horse flesh, who mado a proposal to purchase. "Well," said the Memphlan, "I gave one fifty for her, but I will let you have her for one sixty-five." The prospective owner looked fee ani mal over and concluded he had a bar- frain. He naid over tho money and took the mare. When the animal was unhar- nessed the first thin? she did was to run against a post, and then, by way of emphasizing the fact that she was blind, a point indicated by a roush stone monu fell over a barrel. The next day the ment still standing neat Newton. From , buyer came back to the Memphlan with blood In his eye. "Colonel, you know the mare you sola me?" he began. "Well, she's stone blind." "I know It," replied the colonel, with an easy air. "You didn't say anything to mo about It," said the purchaser, his face redden ing with anger. "Well, I'll tell you," replied the col onel: "that fellow who sold her to me didn't tell me about it, and I Just con cluded that he didn't want it known." RICHEST BABY IN THE.
