BRYAN AND MINING
Effect of 16 to 1 Upon Gold
Development In Oregon.
CAPITAL WOULD BE SCARED AWAY
Silver Mine "Would Be the More
Profitable and Gold. "Would Be
Reelected for Them.
Bryaa's election -would check jrold-mln-lng
development in Eastern Oregon and
scare a-vray capital that Is seeking invest
ment in that section of the State. Such
Is the opinion of Sam R. Stott the -arell-knoTra
Sumpter lawyer, and it Is one of
the reasons why he wilL vote for Mc
Xinley next month. Mr. Stott supported
Bryan lour years ago.
"Bryan's election would give gold-mining
In Eastern Oregon a five years set
back," said Mr. Stott yesterday. "The'
sold standard has made the. mining in
dustry of our part of the .state Four
years ago It was all but Impossible to In
terest capital in our mines. In fact, the
greater part of the capital Invested has
found its way Into Oregon in the past two
years only after a gold standard law had
been assured. I know of two large cor
porations of Massachusetts .men who are
investing $1,000,000 who would not have
put a dollar in our mines If it had not
been for the gold standard. If Bryan
should be elected this development -will
come to a sudden stop, but if MpKlnley
wins wo shall get more gold from the
East and Europe to open up our gold
and copper properties.
"Bryan's election and the adoption of
16 to 1 would have the same effect upon
goldVminlng that the fall In the price of
silver had upon the silver-mining. "When
silver fell to 50 odd cents an ounce and
gold was worth, as it Is now, 20 37 an
ounce, miners dropped silver and began
hunting for gold. This Is one of the fac
tors of the enormous gold development
in Colorado and Oregon. But let the
Government, with a free-silver Adminis
tration, undertake to put the false price
of $129 per ounce on silver, and men
"will drop gold and begin hunting for sil
ver. Silver at Si 29 per ounce Is more
profitable mining than gold at $20 67.
"What would be the result. Gold-mining
in Eastern. Oregon would be neglected
and people would be crazy about silver.
Capital intended for investment in Oregon
gold properties would be sent to Mexico
.and other places to open silver mines.
"Both mlneowners and laborers are
prospering under the gold standard. The
former are enabled to sell their
properties or get money to devel
op them, and the latter are working
for pay that is as good as that paid
in any mining region In the United States.
The scale ranges from $3 to ?4 per day,
averaging about $3 50. As the develop
ment of the mines progresses and con
tinuous work becomes practicable, the
mines are adopting the 8-hour basis for
labor without reducing the wages paid.
So satisfactory are conditions that the
Colorado miners Tvho have come to East
ern Oregon for work have changed!
ground on the money question. They
find that they do better under the gold
standard than if the country were on
-the silver basis, and I feel sure that the
great majority of them will vcte for Mc
lUnley next month. They have a fur
ther object lesson in the fact that the
silver produced by our mines Is not lost.
It finds Its Tvay into the market and is
cold at present quotations. Neither em
ployers nor employes are affected by the
Democratic appeal to do something for
silver. With everybody satisfied with
the prosperity of the mining country and
nobody shouting calamity I shall be sur
prised if Baker County does not give Mc
Xinfley a good majority.
"Four years ago I supported Bryan be
cause the business interests of the coun
try were wrecked. The thing to do was
to provide a way out of the dilemma. I
thought hlmetallsm would give us a
plentiful supply of money, which we
needed, but we got increase In circula
tion through the gold standard. "We
fought a war successfully and bad more
gold when it was over than at the be
ginning. The gold standard has made
us a creditor nation Instead of a debtor
nation and I for one do not believe in
throwing away the fruits of our victory
by electing Bryan. Four years ago we
had a lot of false issues. One of them
was the bugaboo of government by injunc
tion, but there wras nothing In it. This
year we have the bugaboo -of imperialism,
but there is nothing In it. The issue this
year, as In lS9f, is money. Brian's elec
tion would mean free silver, and McKIn
ley's continuance of the gold standard.
The interest of all mining men lies with
the ibest money and they are for gold."

Mayor T. W- Harris, of Eugene, writes
as follows to the Republican State Com
mittee! T feel sure that Lane County will
give McKInley a good majority. Our
people have never known prosperity so
general as that they are now enjoying.
There is, however, a most remarkable
apathy on the part of the people general
ly. This I Interpret favorablyv for It
seems to me that it is the result of
general employment and contentment

BABY SUFFOCATED.
Fate of An East Side Child East
Side Affairs.'
The two-months-old child of Mr. and
Mrs Joseph Jacobs, who, live at 47 East
Ninth street, was found dead In bed
shortly after 12 o'clock Sunday night,
having been accidentally suffocated while
sleeping, on its mother's arms. Mr. Ja
cobs came home Sunday night at about
U o'clock. The rest of the family had
already retired for the night. At that
time the infant was apparently rleeping
In Its mother's arms, but when Mrs. Ja
cobs woke up she found her baby dead.
Coroner Rand investigated the circum
stances of the case" yesterday and came
to the conclusion that the Infant had
been accidentally suffocated. The child
had been Weak and sick from birth, and
the action of its heart was weak. For
this reason the slightest obstruction would
stop Its breathing. Tho Cororier did not
consider it necessary to hold an Inquest
in the case. The funeral of the infant
took place yesterday afternoon. Rev.
Father J. ..Black, of St. Francis Church,
officiated.
Beautiful Driveiray.
The Base Line road from East Thirty
fourth street to Mount Tabor and to
Montavilla and eastward has become the
most popular and attractive drive out of
Portland. In laying out cycle paths on
each side to West avenue they were
made wider than other paths and were,
built better. Residents encouraged and
assisted In the construction of these
paths, although there was some objection,
as it was necessary to widen the road on
the south side by taking In a few feet
of ground that had been covered by
fences, but which really belonged to the
road. The paths on both sides pass most
ly under shade trees, and on either side
are located many hothouses that suppty
Portland with flowers. The paths are car
ried Tip to West avenue at the school
house. A single path swings around the
north side of Mount Tabor and passes
through Montavilla, and then double
paths again follow the Base Line through
to the SanSy. At Montavilla the resi
dents built a path on Hlbbard street,
between ,the Base Line and North Monta
villa A visitor from the East, John C.
Lakln, wheeled out to the Sandy yester
day to see the country, and was de
lighted. He went out the Base Line and
returned through Gresham and by way of
the Section, and declared he never haa
seen a more beautiful and prosperous
section:

Help Hard to Hire.
Much difficulty Is experienced in getting
help to dig the potato crop. Penumbra
Kelly said yesterday that he had been
unable to hire white men at all, but was
compelled to employ a lot of very inde
pendent Chinamen and pay them $1 50 per
day. They did not care about working
for less and said they could get plenty to
do, and so he had to take them. He
does not know where he can get a team
to haul the potatoes. This Is the expe
rience of most all who have potatoes,
men who want work being so scarce.
Emit Side Notes.

qltal the following day. Detectives Ford
and Joseph Day) went to Savannah to

THE LATE MADISON N. FOLEY.
SaMBMSJSiBSIW
AN OREGON PIONEER OF 18B2.
HOOD RIVER, Oct IB. Madison N. Foley, a pioneer of 1852, Indian Wat .Veteran and
well known throughout Oregon, died at his home- near thla place September 29, aged 64
years. He was born in Springfield, Mo., April 25, 1830, and crossed the plains to Oregon
with his parents in 1852. Dr. Foley, his father, died at Kutrene In 1880, at the Age of 103.
Deceased was a. teamster In -the Rogue River Indian "War. He lived in Lane County until
1880, when he went to Crook County, and followed the sheep business until 1801. Since that
time he resided in Hood River Valley, and engaged in strawberry-growing. He leaves a
widow and six children Robert E., Abraham N., "WInthrop A., Bernlce, Melville J. and
Mary E. .
there sought employment on a transport
from Captain Lane and was refused.
Captain Lane, who had read In the news
papers about the murder of Kirk and that
the suspect had one finger missing, no
ticed that one of Warren's hands was
minus a finger, and called his atten
tion, to the fact Warren said he then
went to see an attorney in San Fran
cisco, who told him if he was innocent
not to give himself up to the author
ities; and the attorney, who was Ills
cousin, loaned him $60, with which . he
bought a ticket to St Louis. He said he
worked in the Cleveland Iron Works at
St Louis, and from there proceeded to
Nashville, Louisville. Cincinnati and
Washington, visiting his mother, at the
latter place. At Savannah, the witness
said, Warren assumed the name of J. L.
Wilbur.
Detective" Ford further testified that'
when he and Detective Day reached St.
Louis on their way back with Warren,
they stopped t off for a day to inquire
at the Cleveland Iron Works, where
Warren had stated he was employed,
and Warren then, asserted that the pcy
roll, was not kept there, and said "it
will do you no good to look It up." He
dld'not know the name of the street whejje
It was, nor any of Its officers.. The wit
ness also testified that In Savannah
Warren said he did .not stay "where h's
wife was, but visited her In the even
ing and sometimes at a place outside of
the city. A. B. Clark, attorney for the
defense, cross-examined the witness-very
severely upon this latter statement, to
show that Warren never told him any
thing of the kind, and asked witness
whether Warren did hot say his ,brother-ln-law
had died while he was vthqre, but
the witness did not remember such a
statement
Detective -Fcrd also testified regarding
occurrences on the ship Clarence S Bt
ment at the time Kirk was being carried
out of his room to be taken to the
hospital.
Perry Rosensteln, who has a small
store on the water front, tes'lfird that
he went aboard the ship to 'drum up
trade, and met Warren and the mate.
Rosensteln stated that he was In the
mate's cabin one day, when the latter
had considerable money. as-he was pav
ing off the men. He was sure Kirk had
between ?500 and J600. He talked with
Warren some, and knew of $2 that War-,
ren said the mate had given him.
R. F. Barnes, deputy Collector of Cus
toms, testified that he paid off the offi;
cers and crew -of' the ship Clarence S.
Bement.
Deprived of His Witnense.
In the matter of the joint Indictment
against-W. E. Keutemeyer, H. J. and .F.
V. E. Epperson, charging them with tho
murder of William Lunrut, a motion to
quash the Indictment was argued by Ed
ward Mendenhall, counsel for Keutemey
er, In the criminal court yesterday. Judgj
George took the motion under adv'ssmont.
Tho Epperson boys were with Keut
emeyer when he shot and killed Lunrut
and their testimony before the Coroner's
jury was that the killing was done in
self-defense William Layfleld, who accom
panied Lunrut, testified somewhat to 'the
contrary. The Indictment of the Epper
sons, accordlngito "this statement of facts.
Is unfavorable to Keutemeyer's case.
The attorney for Keutemeyer, In his ar
gument contended that there was neither
a charge nor evidence against the Ep
persons before the grand jury; none of
whom knew any facta against him; and
the Indictment for these reasons should
be quashed against them; and It being an.
Indictment against all of the defendants
it must be quashed as to all. Coursel
also made the point that the grand jury
having Indicted jointly with Keutemeyer
all of hl3 eye-witnesses to the occurrence
has rendered them incompetent to testify
for Keutemeyer, as neither of the de
fendants jointly Indicted can testify for
the other before being acquitted or con
victed; and .since. this has not occurred
as to the Eppersons, It amounts to de
priving Keutemeyer of his witnesses by
an Indictment based upon no testimony
at all. An authority upon the qiiest'onr
was submitted.
District Attorney Chamberlain argued
in support of the indictment Judge
George appointed Willlam-M. Gregory to
appear" as attorney for &ho Epperson

Oriental Line Grain Steamer
Chartered Marine. Notes.
Two more of the steamships which
will be used in the service of the Oregon
& Oriental Steamship Company have
been secured, and will follow the German
steamship Eva, which was the pioneer
vessel of the line. The new vessels will
be the British steamship Carmarthenr
shlre, and the Norwegian steamship Uni
verse. The Carmarthenshire is a sister
ship of the Monmouthshire, which is now
listed for Portland In tho line which
T. M. Stevens & Co. Is operating be
tween Portland and the far East She
Is a very fast vessel, and like the Mon
mouthshire Is not as large a carrier aa
some of the slower freight steamers of
tho. same registered tonnage. She was
built at Newcastle, England, In 1S87, and
Is 329 feet long, 40 feet beam, and 25.1
feet depth of hold. She has powerful
triple compound engines 27-43 and 70 Inches
diameter qf cylinder, by 45 Inches stroke.
Tho Universe Is a smaller and slower
vessel, but Is a very heavy carrier for
her tonnage. She was built at Sunder
land In 1898 and Is 299 feet long, 42.5 feet
beam and 20.2 feet depth of hold. Her
engines are 22-36 -and SS Inches diameter
of cylinder, by 39 Inches stroke.
The Universe has recently been engaged
as a transport In the service of the United
States Government, but was released a
few days ago. The Eva, which sailed
from Portland for Hong Kong and Vla
divostok a few 'days ago, Is the largest
of the trio already secured. She carried
on her maiden trip from this port 5200
tons of flour alone. Her dimensions are:
Length 330 feet, beam 45.5 feet, depth of
hold 23 feet 9 Inches. It Is reported that
the company has secured other steamers
of a similar type to the Carmarthen
shire which will-be placed In the service
as soon as the present trouble in the Ori
ent abates, and business warrants the
Improvement in the service
TWO FOR A CHEW.
Schooner Olcnnoffan Arrives nt Port
Townsend Short -Handed.
The schooner Okanogan. Captain
Rensch. arrived here yesterday morning
from HIlo. Sandwich Islands, says the
Port Townsend Leader, with only two
sailors.
The cause of this shortage wa3 due
to the fact that when the Okanogan
was ready to sail from Hllo, three of her
crew were arrested on a charge of mur
der and the captain would have had to
wait 10 days or more until he could have
sent to Honolulu for men, so he decided
that he could make the run with only
two men and thereby save time. The
fact that he arrived here without disaster
Is evidence sufficient that he accomplished
What he undertook, and that he made
good time. During the voyage Captain
Rensch took his watch at the wheel while
only ohe sailor was on deck.
This pair would change off with the
mate and the other sailor, and It is said
that everything during the voyage worked
like clockwork.

ANOTHER GRAIN STEAMER,
Ol&n. Chartered for Barley From San
Francisco With Option of Portland.
The Austrian steamer Olga was char
tered yesterday to load barley at San
Francisco at 46s 3d with the option of
Portland loading at 50s. This Is the first
steamer that has been chartered for grain
loading at San Francisco this season, and
the figures paid show an Improvement In
the freight situation In the Bay City."
The differential demanded for Portland
loading Is due to the fact that the setamer
Is now en route for San Francisco from
Java with a cargo of sugar, and It would
cost an additional 3s 9d for the charges
In port, pilotage, etc.. In and out of San
Francisco, which would have to be paid,
again. If the vessel'loaded In Portland."
The matter of a loa'dlng 'port Is still
open and there Is yet a possibility that
the vessel will be sent, here, for In spite
of the recent heavy arrivals of, tonnage
there' Is an enormous amount of wheat
accumulating at this port.

Marine Notes.
Captain Dan McVlcar, a well-known bar
pilot of Astoria, was' In the city yester
day. '
There are but-three wheat ships loading
at Port Costa, and San' Francisco exports
for the month will fall far short of those
of Portland.
The German transport Bosnia, which
sailed from San Francisco for the Ori
ent, last Saturday, carried 934 horses, 224
mules, 7193 bales of hay, 6545 centals of
oats, 997 sacks of bran, and 44S sacks
carrots.
The Canadian Pacific Navigation Com
pany will build a fast steamer for the
Skagway route, and the Canadian Pacific
Railway Company will build two new
river steamers to run between Nelson
and Kootenai Landing.
The British ships Conway and Dalcarnie
arrived In Sunday afternoon, and left up
yesterday morning. Both were chartered
many months ago, and come under the
head of cheap ships. In comparison with
rates at the present time.
Thefe steamship Columbia sailed from
San Francisco on her regular schedule
yesterday morning, and Is due at Port
land tomorrow. The Columbia Is a very
popular steamer with the traveling pub
lic, and repairs were rushed In order to
get her out on time.
Another survey was held on the British
ship Deccan. Sunday, and as a result the
decks have been ordered calked. This Is
not so serious a matter as tearing- out
the beams to make places for new ones
but It will cost the underwriters a round
sum. and will not add anything to the
reputation of Portland as a cheap port
for ships.
