There Will Be No Charge From Anr Point on the Companys Lines in Oregon. The Southern Pacific Company set a mark yesterday for liberality when It offered to carry exhibits to and from the coming state fair free. This action came In the following letter: Portland, July 20 Mr. M. D. "Wisdom, Sec retary Stato Board of Agriculture, Portland, Or. Dear Sir: In order to encourage exhibitors and attendance at the State Fair, this com pany will transport exhibits originating at points on its lines within the confines of the state to Salem and return to point of origin free of charge. Visitors will be required to pay the charges on shipments to Salem, which charges will be refunded when goods are de livered to the company's agent for reshlpment to point of origin. Tours truly, C. H. MARKHAM. General Freight and Passenger Agent. "While all the transportation lines cen tering at Portland have generally shown a liberal spirit to all undertakings which promise to benefit the state, this offer Is generous beyond all expectation, and encourages the state fair managers xnore than anything else that has oc curred for a long time. One of its direct results will be the largest exhibit of the products of West ern Oregon ever brought together In one place. Perhaps It is not generally known that every county in the Willamette "Valley, south of Portland, is getting up a county exhibit Washington, Yamhill, Polk and Benton on the West Side, and Clackamas, Marlon, Llnii and Lane on the Bast Side. Douglas County, also, will makean exhibit. With the cost of transportation wiped out by the broad spirit of the railroad company. It may reasonably be ex pected that these exhibits will be much larger and more comprehensive than If there were freight bills to pay. Then, too, the action of the railroad company equalizes distance, so that Ash land, Medford and Grant's Pass can be represented at the state fair on quite as favorable terms as Albany or Oregon City. It will enable Southern Oregon at a minimum of expense to make an ex hibit of her famous fruit, melons and grain, to say nothing of the precious metals. " The railroad company's liberal policy Is entitled to the commendation, not only of those directly and indirectly connected with the. state fair, but of the community at large. Fall, by the Government, as there Is no work for them, and the diggings are not rich enough to enable a man to pay ex penses. A good many are making ?2 50 to $3 a day on the beach, but their living expenses exceed these figures, so there Is no inducement for them to stay there. Four claims were being worked on the creeks to the eastward, of Nome, and these emploWdjft men. The owners of these clalmsRMdng money, but tho rest of UimHB seems to be tied up In llUgaUon!PSa there Is no court yet at Nome, where land disputes can be de cided. At Topkot, 50 miles north of Nome, good diggings were struck in June, but they were scon worked out. He thought $125,000 has been taken oat of tho Topkot beaoh, within a week or two, and then the diggings collapsed. "There may be lota of gold around Nome," he said, "but It has not been discovered yet, and unless It is found within a few weeks, people will deert the place. There is a big country to pros pect In, however, and there may be somo rich strikes before the Summer Is over." He thinks Dawson will last about flvo years yet, and perhaps longer, If new discoveries are made, and he looks for a general bulldlng-up along the Alaskan coast, which will contribute largely to the wealth of the United States. The fisheries, mines and lumber interests Rre very likely to grow In importance, wheth ec the placer mines give out or not. As for agriculture, he docs not think much of Alaska, for, although tho Yukon Val ley is a lovely spot in the. Summer, the season is too short to permit hay to ripen. Some species of early vegetables may mature, but this is all. Neither can stock-raising be pursued with profit, as the ground is too soft and wet for pas turage, while the deep covering of snow for nine months would compel the feed ing of stock during Just three-fourths of e ch year. m Probate Matter. B. Granich, A. B. Burger and S. C. Spencer, appointed appraisers of the es tate of Wolf Rosenthal, yesterday filed their report In the office of the Clerk of the County Court. Real estate Is valued at $3000 on which there Is a $1600 mort gage; $200 was deposited in the First Na tional Bank, and the stock of goods In the deceased's store was valued at $2041 5, making a total valuation of $5244 5, not excepting the mortgage indebtedness. In the matter of the estate of John A. Kraus, Appraisers D. C. Southworth, James Sn.uffer and Thomas Splllman and Administrator F. H. Wehntje have re ported the value of the property left to be $3911 $3500 In real estate and $111 per sonal property. Including household fur niture. FILLS SHOULD BE MADE. Mayor's Tien-a on Repairing Ele vated. RoadTraya. Mayor Rowe, accompanied by A. H. Breyman, of the Board of Public Works and City Engineer Chase, made a tour of Inspection of the various bridges and elevated roadways on the West Side yesterday, giving especial attention to the bridges at the South End. They stepped gingerly as they went over the Front-street bridge across Marquam Gulch, and concluded that it needed re pairing at once. The Mayor spoke to Chairman Nichols, of the street com mittee, about It during tho afternoon, and the matter will probably be attended to at the next meeting of the committee. The Mayor found that the bridge on Fourteenth street was being fixed up temporarily by the City &. Suburban Railway Company, whose electric sprin kler broke it down. He is of .opinion that by taking the matter In hand In time so that the work can vbe dnnft In fine weather, a fill can be made to take ine piaco oi mis image, as cneapiy as CENTS A YARD 3800 yards of dotted, figured and striped dimity, light, medi um and dark colors, TODAY only cents a yard Second week of our big Tan Shoe Saie.

Mayor Rowe's opinion In regard to filling a number of bridges about town coincides with that of Engineer Chase. The bridge across Marquam Gulch, on Hood street, and another farther out on tiood street, should be filled, they be lieve, as also the bridges at the North End generally, and especially on Four teenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seven teenth streets, and the Northrup-street bridge, will adl have to be rebuilt before long; and by undertaking the work In time, they could all be filled for what It would cost to construct tho bridges, with wood-block pavement, and In the end the All would be much the cheapest There is even a project talked of to fill tho First-street bridge across Mar quam Gulch, a work of some magnitude, but a very desirable one. It Is said earth St FRHNK CO. I GREAT MIDSUMMER SALE EVERYTHING REDUCED The 'J ILLr s ucc BACK FROM THE NORTH. Captain Archie Geer Gives an Opin ion of Alnitlcn in General. Captain Archie Geer. a cousin of the Governor, has returned to Portland from Alaska, after nearly to years' absence. He spent most of this time first as cap tain of the steamer J. P. Light, and af terward captain of the Mary T. Graft, which plied the Yukcn between St. Mi chael and Dawson City. "When seen at his residence. 328 Sixth street, yesterday afternoon, the canteen was enjoying the comforts of his pleas ant home, doubly pleasant now, in con trast with his experience of the post two years. He said his venture North had proved a paying one. and he was glad he had taken the trip. He now has two promising, placer claims at Norton, on the Alaskan coast. 50 miles north of St. Michael, and these are being worked this Summer, bv a force of miners In his employ. Mining, he sas, cannot he pursued on the Alaskan coast in the "Winter, as there is too much water on the ground, but In Summer, provision may be made for draining. His -10 acres prospect 13 cents to the pan at the sur face, but he does not know yet how murh gold lies on the bedrock, which reposes at an average distance of five feet. He hopes to have these diggings workqd without his personal supervision, as he Seslres to stay at home with his family In future. He spent a few days in Nome after the rush of people had struck there in June, and he thinks thousands of men will have to he assisted out of there this lies in finding the keyhole. Many a man tries lo get in his own home quietly who, while he has the key, is unable to find the keyhole, and he is compelled to stand outside in the moonlight and listen to an an gelic voice from the second-story window. .
