FORT SELKIRK. Yukon Territory. July
S3. Tlie ptoamer Flora arrived here to
day with 15 passengers of the Florence
S., which was wrecked two days ago near
Thirty-Mile, by running on a rock. Three
lives were lost. The dead are: Mrs. Fran
cis, Miss Francis and the steward. Walter
Monastes, of Skagway. The report that
Jack McCabe, of Portland, perished, was
an error. Immediately after running on
the rock the steamer was cut in two,
the upper part floating down stream. The
surviving passengers escaped uninjured.
Captain Barrlngton, who lost the Danille
in the same place last year, was in com
mand. Hard-luck stories are already reaching
us trom 2Come and the Kuyokuk, stories
that remind us of the Edmonton trail
horrors.
Word has just been received here of
the murdor of Herbert Davenport, on a
bcow, near "White Rh'er. The man was a
pilot, who was employed by three men
to take Oem on their fcow down the
rivQ,tAra(wson. When near White
River the scow ran onto a .sandbar, and
the pilot being unable to got her off, one
of tne men, Alexander King, became
angry and shot hln dead. He then
threatened to shoot the other men if
they did not agree to say that the pilot
Bhoi himself accidentally. When they
reached Dawson the murderer told his
story, but the other two men contra-!
dieted it.
A large party of prospectors left here
last week for the White River. In search
of copper reported to have been discov
ered there two years ago. Mr. Harrlman,
of New Tork. who chartered the steamer
Geo. W. Elder last year to cruise in
Alaskan waters, is the financial backer
of this expedition. W. S. Deveroux is in
charge of the party, and Mr. Jamison, of
Portland, Is the surveyor. Montgomery
Is the guide. If copper is found in pay
ing quantities by his prospectors, Mr.
Harrlman will put a railroad into that
part of the country.

MASON OX THE BOUNDARY.
Not in Favor of Yleldlner an Inch
Crltlclsen Secretary- Hajr.
SEATTLE. Aug. 5. Just before de
parting, on July 31, for the Porcupine
mining district in Alaska, United States
Senator Mason, of Illinois, Is quoted as
expressing himself to a Skagway news
paper, regarding the Alaskan boundary
question as follows:
"I am not tn favor of yielding an Inch
of what is rightfully American territory
to the BriUsh. I want very foot of
land 10 marine leagues from the shore
of the mountain in the 'disputed -territory
for the United States, and $ favor
fighting If we don't get It. The British
have bluffed us. They have followed the
policy of seizing a whole loaf when they
expected to get only a slice in the out
come. They are the shrewdest traders
and the sharpest International dealers In
the world. Their methods In this case
are npthlng new. They asked for more
than they expected, to get.
"I am a Republican and expect to go
the stump in the East In a month for
McKin''" and Roosevelt, and I am in
sympathy with the Cabinet members
with one excepUon and that Is Secretary
of State Hay. Ho Is too much qf a Brit
isher. It is Hay who is responsible for
the Americans losing the grip on the
big end of the American territory In this
disputed area. I object to maintaining a
British official at the expense of the Gov
ernment." BONDING AT SKAGWAY.
Spanldins Sara AInsIcana Have Jnst
Cause for Complaint.
SEATTLE, Aug. 5. Skagway newspa
pers received here today tell of the meet
ing between General Spauldlng, First As
sistant Secretary of the United States
Treasury, and the Chamber of Commerce
and business men of that city. The dis
advantage under which Skagway labors
.as a result ot the British bonding privi
lege was laid before the visitor and the
Injustice done American shippers ex
plained. General Spauldlng told the Skag
way people that he was satisfied that
they had Just cause for complaint, and
made two suggestions one that they lay
the whole matter before the State De
partment, with a strong appeal for aid;
and the other that the subport of Skag
way be closed. He thought the latter
measure rather too harsh. He assured
them that he would do all In his power to
aid them, and advised them to appeal to
Ottawa, and also to ask the railroad com
panies to assist them. He said the United
States would favor Americans first in the
matter.

FORA NEW WATER POWER
DEVELOPMENT SCHEME IN PROG
RESS o:T THE SANTIAM.
Enterprise Snid "Sot to Be for Any
Particular Project, hut It Is Ex
ceedingly Well Planned.
SALEM, Aug. 5. O'Neill Brothers &
Callaghan, have recently begun laying
stone In the walls which will form a
part , of their dam across the Santiam
River ' at " Niagara, in Marlon County.
They hate had a force of men with a
donkey engine and derricks working for
several months cutting out rock and
cement gravel, and have now begun the
permanent work, which means much to
the development of the water power of
this county. The dam which they will
construct will be 60 feet high and 200
feetlong. It' will lie built of rock and
concrete, and'when completed will afford
.Its owners a minimum of "2000 horsepower.
Neither the details of construction nor
the approximate "cost have yet been de
termined, but the firm controlling the
water power at that place have sufficient
confidence In the future of manufactur
ing .to warrant them in forwarding the
enterprise.
The Santiam River at Niagara Is an
Ideal place for the construction of a
dam. The channel through which the
water passes durlns the greater part of
the year Is bounded by walls of solid
rock and Is only about 15 feet across.
The south 'bank of the river Is of solid
rock.t The north hank Is of cement grav
el over 100. feet high. Between the two
banks is a huge mound of solid rock
about '50 feet high and about 160 feet
across. It Is between this rock and the
south banlothat the river runs, except
In high water, when it fills the river
from one bank to the other and covers
the rock completely. This huge rock will
be made to form a part of the dam and
will materially lessen' the cost as well
as Insure 'a. permanent structure.
In order to fill the channel near the
s.outh "bank a temporary channel has
been made along the north bank. To
keep the cement gravel from washing
out, a wall 100 feet high 200 feet long
will be built .over the face of the per
pendicular bluff. A permanent dam will
be built over this temporary channel,
but a number of gates will be left for
the water to pass through. The whole
river will then be, diverted to this chan
nel, while the old channel Is being filled
with Tock and concrete. When the dam
has been completed, the gates will be
closed and the temporary channel filled
full with concrete. The only escape for
the water will then be over the top of
the 60-foot dam. or through the turbine
wheel which .will be placed on the lower
side of the north end of the dam.
While the Ttfork" "for - the development'
of this, .water power has been going on
for several months and several thousand
.dollars have been expended, -it Is appar
ent that the work is but just 'begun. Tho
wall 'recently begun 1 but a.,small part
of the construction work f hat will be
necessary to form' a' temporary channel
for the water of the Santiam River. The
water of the Santiam runs swiftly and
must be carefully confined, or it will
wash, everything before " it The work
that Is called "temporary" t Is" really of
"the most permanent character, and will
form a. part of .the completed structure.
The work necessarily proceeds slow.Iy,
and it may-be -two years -yet before" the
water rnns over the top of the dam.
O'Neill Brothers &-Callagrhan are the
owners of a paper mlljat Lebanon, Linn
County, and also of a. similar factory
ln- California, . It Is understood , that the
firm is making no efforts at hastening
tho development work at Niagara, hut
are limiting their expenditures there to
about the profits that are realized from
their other plants. Mr. Frank O'Neill,
who Is superintending the work, said
recently that his firm Is pursuing a con
servative policy In its work at Niagara.
While tfaey have confidence in the ven-
ture, they are putting nothing Into tho
enterprise except their own money. In
other words, they are not paying Inter
est on money In order to prosecute the
work, and when the -dam Is completed
It will be free from all Incumbrances.
Mr. O'Neill said that his firm has not de
termined what will be done with the
water power when the work Is finished.
The men interested simply believed tho
power was worth developing, and the
firm's plans extend only that far. Wheth
er a paper or pulp mill will be estab
lished at Niagara remains to be deter
mined. ?i f?.6?. J? .n.te.m:
platlon is Indicated by the fact that the
company owns a large tract of hemlock
timber land near Niagara and easily
accessible to the site of the water power.
Another circumstance tending to .the
same conclusion Is that when O'Neill
Brothers & Callaghan sold the water
power at the old Enterprise mill on the
Breitenbush to the Curtlss Lumbering
Company, a condition was Incorporated
in the deed providing that the water,
power should not be used for operating
a pulp or paper mill. But. however, the
Niagara water power may be used. Its
development of conservative capital Is of
vast Importance to the Industrial welfare
of this section of the state, in which
manufacturing has been too long neg
lected. t
