Advices from Daw son, dated September 25, state that the sale of the crown claims in. the Klondike country was to begin October 2 xtnd' last tor several weeks, and to begin again November 2. The gold commissioner d the district estimates the number of claims to be sold at between 5000 and 10, O00. Men were at "work all the latter port of September ascertaining the ex act number. To do this the titles of all the claims in the district, about 20,000, had. to be looked up. The claims are nearly all creeks and old timers at Daw son believe that many of them are rich. All the claims that the public will not purchase will be thrown open for reloca tion 30 days after the list Ib published. 2Co one knows much about claims, as to whether they are rich or not, but It is be lieved that some have thousands, and perhaps millions, hid in them. i THE KBWS TS DAWS OK.

NO ARRESTS HAVE BEEN MADE. Oregron City Hnnters Charged With. Trespassing? Still Free. OREGON CITY, Oct. 9. Although Cap tain J. T. Apperson swore out a com plaint in the justice court yesterday, charging J. TJ. Campbell, Deputy District Attorney, and H. S. Moody, Deputy Game "Warden, with trespassing on his premises with guns, no warrant of arrest has yet been served. Messrs. Campbell and Moody returned home some time during the night and were In their accustomed haunts as usual this morning. From an authentic source it is learned that the warrant wag in the hands ot Chief of Police Burns this morning, but the Justice of the Peace recalled the doc ument. Justice McAnulty could not be found at tils office this afternoon, so Ills intentions as to the disposition of. th warrant were not ascertained. Deputy District Attorney J. TJ. Camp bell says in substance that he accom panied the deputy game warden on an official tour of inspection. Since the open season began numerous complaints that sportsmen were killing more than allowed .had been made, but the game "warden was unable to get anyone to swear to a complaint. Mr. Campbell says that last Saturday afternoon he accom panied Mr. Moody to Moss Lake, below town, passing through the premises of Mrs. Clark and along the lake until they came to Captain Apperson's field. Moody had a gun and pointer pup, but Campbell had no weapon. Here Moody suggested that probably Captain Apperson did not allow any trespassing on his premises, but they went over the fence into the Held and inquired of the man who was plowing if hunting was permissible on the premises and the reply was that there "Were trespass notices up, but thought "that they were Intended for careless hoys. The officers then left the field and on Teaching the railroad track heard shots in the direction of North Glad stone, and went over to investigate, finally they came across a man carry ing a rifle, who said that he was warn ing persons not to hunt on John W. Mel drum's premises, and in Tesponse to an Inquiry about the shooting, said tha,t ha tared two shots at a dog belonging to a hunter found on the premises. After find ing two men with some game, near the liver, the officers returned to Oregon City. Mr. Campbell further said: "I am sat isfied, that if Captain Apperson had un derstood the facts and circumstances he "would not have madd the complaint. Personally, he and I have always been on friendly terms." It is learned that Captain Apperson has been annoyed to a considerable ex tent of late by boys who persisted in hunting on his premises, and he made the assertion that he would prosecute the first man found on his premises, it -did not matter if It -was the President of the United States. The matter has" attracted much attention on account of the prominence of all parties concerned. "Water Snpply for Oresron City. T. Xj. Charman and R. D. Wilson, of the Board of Water Commissioners, accom panied by J. H. Cunningham, a civil en gineer of Portland, left up the Clack amas River this afternoon to take levels and surveys with a view of ascertaining the feasibility of getting a water supply for the city from that source at a rea sonable outlay. At the session of the Leg islature In 1899 the charter was so amend ed as to permit of the Issuance of bonds to the amount of $50,000, for the construc tion of a new "water system. After re peated efforts the Water Commission has been unable to find a sufficient supply of water that could be brought to the city by the gravity system with the funds at their command. As a last resort It is again making an investigation of a plan to bring -water from the Clackamas River. TO TRY DIVERSIFIED FARMING. Farmers Aronnd Clarke to Establish Cheese Factory. OREGON CITY, Oct 9. The farmers residing in the vicinity of Clarkes, 12 miles southeast of Oregon City, are mak ing determined efforts, to form a co operative company for the establishment of a cheeso factory In that neighbor hood. Two meetings have already ljeen held, at which J. J. Gard was elected chairman and H. W. Gard.".secretary, and a meeting has been called for next Sat urday night to effect a permanent organ ization. The fact that the wheat crop was short during the past season and the success achieved by the Logan cheese factory are the factors that arc inducing the Clarkes farmers to try diversified farming. Many of the, farms, are so sit uated in this district that there is plenty of outside pasturage, so that cows could be kept for a portion of- the- year with out feed. It has- been already demon strated In Clackamas County, that a good milk cow will bring an average revenue of $5 per month from the sale of butter fat. YAMHILL COUNTY WEALTH.

Decrease $ 150,162 SLIPPED INTO ARCTIC OCEAN. Lnrffe Piece of Wlndom. Glacier, in Alaska, Has Broken Off. TACOMA, Oct. 9. Wlndom. Glacier, at Taku Inlet, in, Alaska, which for more than a century has been immovable or "dead," has slipped into the Arctic Ocean. J Between it and, the sea extended a wide crescent-shaped sandbar formed by Its moraine. Between two and three weeks ago a section of this glacier oxtending, half a mile along its face, several hun dred feet wide and 500 feet deep, was moved bodily nearly a mile out to sea. It cut stralcht through the sandbar, leav ing a deep, wide channel. When it reached deep water the glacier tumbled over and. divided into a number of immense bergs, which are now floating about. Investigation of the cause of this up heaval of nature has. been, made by "George Garside, an engineer of. Juneau. He found that the river rushing seaward be neath Wlndom Glacier became choked and hacked up for miles in a mountain canyon. Its pressure finally became so great that It broke loose, cracked the glacial section off end forced it seaward. SHOWS HOW BRYAN WILL WIN. Wonderfnl Feat of J. Hani Lewis, of Woshinjrtou. WASHINGTON, Oct 9. Jim Ham Lewis declares In an interview here tha,t there is no doubt about Bryan's, election, and says that he will recolve 21 votes more than McKlnley. Then by a careful com bination of states, Lewis shows how Bryan is going to win. The most interesting feature of this canvass is the fact that he declares Wash ington is safe, and that Oregon and Cali fornia are very likely to go for Bryan, saying tha,t the Chinese question is cut ting qpite a. figure on the Pacific Coast. Lewis is very versatile in hla political prognostications, for he privately ac knowledges that there Is no show lor Bryan on the Pacific Coast, and that he has but an even chance in the country at large.

FOR PROTECTION OF WHITE LABOR. Proposed to Tax All Male Chinese and Japanese Servant. VANCOUVER, B. C, Oct 9. Labor men are suggesting an ingenious method, borrowed from the British home legisla tion of diminishing- the employment of Chinese and Japanese domestic servants all males In British Columbia. They pro pose that strong pressure be brought to bear upon the Provincial Government and Legislature to cause the statutory impo sition of a heavy tax on male domestic servants, most of whom are Mongols. Tne tax has long prevailed In the United Kingdom, where it Is approved as a con venient method of taxing indirectly the well to do. Here its object would rather be the protection of white labor than the raising of revenue. "WOODFOR FORCES IN CHINA. British "War Office Orders Shipment' of 2000 Cords. VANCOUVER, B. C. Oct 9.

The campaign In Idaho Is now .so far advanced, that some estimate can be made of the relative strength of the par tics n,ow seeking "the suffrages of our people and the state committee believes It due the Republicans of Idaho that a statement be given them.
