Cleavon, Ssy It-WHl Be Completed Thla Morulas . Mr. Mohr Sara It Is Of.. Jame3 Gleason, who "bid $5500 forthe uncompleted steamer Klickitat, Tuesday, said last night that all arrangements had been made to pay the money over today, to get a perfectly clear title to the craft and to c'oso this Incident of the embarrassment of the Paul F. ilohr construction enterprise. All this, he said, would be done this morning. The money will be naid into court to be distributed according to the lesal standing' of the claims against the boat. It is understood that the S4SO0 of labor liens will first be satisfied, the court and 'not the Sheriff J will have charge of the distribution of the money. Mr. Gleason says that the parties have been ready to complete the purchase at any time since Ine bid, but that de'ay, has been caused by .a question as to just what was included in the .sale. The terms of the order were for the sale of the "boat, tackle, apparel and furniture." Eome of the creditors who could not par tfclpate in the proceeds of the sale dis puted the legality of selling some of the furniture under the circumstances. Agree ment "was finally reached on this feature. Then the Jones Lumber Company, .which had attached the steamer Billings for a ' lumber bill of some $4030, and had ts&en no action Telatlve to the Klickitat, nought to establish a lien against the Klickitat for $2000, which aroused serious opposition of other attaching creditors and threat ened to tie Tip the wnole sum in the hands of the court Indefinitely, while those Tvho could afford it should be fighting the matter through the courts. This would have worked hardships upon the laborers, who. could ill afford to wait. Thex con tention against the Joner claim was " tha, 'while the Jaw gave him, the cotlon of An. attachment or a Hen, he had vol untarily forfeited or waived his right of lien when he attached the Billings; that he had chosen one of the two metnods prescribed by law, and was by that act jestopped from afterward taking the other course. The adjustment of this matter caused a vexatious delay, but it is said that it has been entirely removed from any bearing on the title to the boat, and that it win "now go Into cdurt with ether "claims "t6"dlspute over the proceeds of the sale over and above the labor lens. As evidence of the fact that' the affairs of the compaCey are still In a very com plicated snarl, it may be stated that Paul F. Mohr's understanding of the status of the Klickitat,, as he stated It to a re porter last night, is radically different from that of Mr. Gleason. The amouit of the bid was tendered the Sheriff ;tc day and rejected," said Mr. Mohr. This 2eaes the sale null and void, and prac tically restores the boat to our company. The creditors are still trying to flrrd'a means-to takethe ooat and turn it to their profit, but before they shall be able to do that I expect to have money to straighten out all this difficulty. I cot a letter today that encourages me vety much, and I expect relief very soon." "Would you care to say from what source this relief is expected?" "I -think I'd better not. You know wo have a very powerful "bpDonent. and It is best not tp disclose too much of our plans or Intentions." "Do you know who Is the real pur chaser -for whom Mr. Gleason bid?" -"Oh, the O. B. & N. Co." Speaking of the title to the Klickitat, Mr. -Gleason said it -would be as clear as the sky. All the more important cred itors had agreed, he said, on that point, and for the .smaller claims concerning" 'Which there might be question the court could make adjustment. The sunt of these Is not so great as to defeat the s " , Today is expected lo determine ther Mr, Gleason or Mr. Mohr's upderstand ing of the status of the.Kllqkitat Jjs the correct one. Meantime, other clalmsfjaxe being -filed in form to establish Hens; one of the H. C. Breeden Company for about $200 having been begun yesterday.

The nse of fuel oil by the Atchison, To peka & Santa Fe, on the Southern Cali fornia line, has continued to give satis factory resrults. That company has ac- quired oil lands near Fullertoh, where it has several wells in successful operation, and has built a spur 4.24 miles in length to reach the oil fields, which also produce a considerable tonnage of oil shipped from other Wells. Other oil fields have been -developed In the lclnlty of Bakersfield and Fresno, and all locomotives on tho San !FrancIsco jSan Joaquin "Valley "Railway are being converted lntOjOllburners., The Santa Fe Pacific engines running between Mojave and Needles are also being changed to oil burners, and at the con clusion of the xear 1900 coal will not be Aised as a fuel for locomotives upon' any of 'the Santa Fe lines in California. Seattle ; International "Wreck. SDATTL.E, Wash , Oct 17. The Seattle & International passenger train leaving hero at 9.05 o'clock this morning, for "Vancouver, B. C, was wrecked, near Cathcart, about 30 miles from Seattle. None' of the passengers was seriously hurt, and after an hour's delay the train proceeded on its Journey, leaving the tour ist and parlor "cars across the track. The cause of the accident is not known, and will not bo until the return of tho officials who have gone to the eceno. - Express Cnr Trucks Ieft Track. About G o'efock yesterday morning a .pair of trucks under an express car In the train that left Portland Tuesday evenlnc was derailed at a polnj between 3-reen ana uuiara. in uougias uounty, a few miles -south of Roseburg. Several lengths of rails were torn up, but '.no other damage was done. The train was delayed five hours, and then proeeeded.on Its way,. , HECEPTIOK TO DR. LATHROP ;Nvly Installed Pastor of Grace M. E. Chnrcli. A large assemblage was present at Grace Church Tuesday evening at the re ception given to the Rev. J. R. Tl Xath 'rop and wife, formerly of "Indianapolis. The Jecture-room and parlors of the church were tastefully adorned for the occasion, with flowers and Autumn fol iage, "producing a most pleasing effect After expressions of welcome to Dr. ILathrop and wife "from the large com pany present J. 23. Haseltine introduced "Rev. John Vlinn, a pioneer preacher, who "began his labors hi Portland over a half a century ago. Sir. Flinn offered prayer; at the conclusion f which Miss Rankin favored the company -with ab pleasing vocal solo. ' . da a brief address J. K. Gill welcomed the pastor on "behalf of tho church and its various organizations. Rev. G. Wt flue, a former" pastor, was Introduced" and expressed a kindly welcome on the part of the conference, referring, In a humor ous way, to the mistaken notion preva lent in many places that the Pacific Northwest was still in-Its primitive wild ne$s. 'The sister churches of the city; were represented by Br. H. W. .Kellogg, of "the First Methodist Church, who gave assurance of hearty welcome to Br. Lath rop, as a colaborer In the common work of the church here. In response to the greetingsBr. Lath rop spoke of the cordial welcome he had 'received from all since the arrival of him self and family, and the efforts to make them "feel at home," for which they felt deeply grateful. He come to the church, he said, partly In compliance with the urgent reqest of Bishop vCranston and partly from a conviction that perhaps It was In the line of duty, and that ho came' with the one purpose "to do you all the good' I -can." - NEW SAW MILL. . Oregon Pine Lumber CompanyWlll Erect One Near Glendale. J. R. Hale, manager of the Oregon Pine ''Lumber Company, of Binger, "Douglas County, Is in Portland, negotiating for a new saw'ralll plant, to be erected on Cow Creek, 22 miles above the town of Glen dale. The plant, he says, will have a capacity of 20,000 feet per day v of 12 hours, and the lumber sawed will be hauled by wagon to Glendale, at a costi of 54 per 1000. The company; Mr. Halesays, h3 3000 acres of sugar pine In the vicinity of Binger, and this tract will keep the mill running for several years. The lumber will be shipped to Denver, where No. 1 now brings 50 per 1000, and No. 2 $40. The rite given by the railway company from Glendale to Denver is 58 per 1000, so the operation of the mill will permit a neat profit to the company, j t He rather Inclines to the -old-style cir cular saw in the new mill, as the lumber can be sawed In truer shape than by the band saw, although the teeth of the cir cular saw cut a thickness of ohe-thlrd of an inch into sawdust while the band saws only cut away about half thdt much. "As lumber sawed by the band saw loses considerable In dressing," he said, "the results are about the same as though the old-style circular were used." Eastern men have been looking oyer all that section of country the past Summer, with a view to purchasing the belts of sugar pine that He in Douglas and Jose phine Counties, and so the Oregon Pine .Lumber Company could have disposed of Its holdings on several occasions at a profit, but decide to retain the property and work it up themselves. A spur rail road is contemplated from Binger to Glendale in the near future. - AMUSEMENTS. i ffFor Her Sake"- at Cord ray's. "For Her Sake," a thrilling melodrama, was played at Cordray's Theater last night to a crowded house. Both the sterling worth of -the actors and the strong situations of the play "received marked recognition, and, judging from the rounds of applause, the audience was well pleased. Appropriate costuming and attention to scenic detail were features. ' The play is Russian, each 'scene being more or tess mixed up wljh nihilism and intrigues both of state and of love. As In all plays of this type, the plot Is so In tricate that It would be a difficult tasR to unravel It Throughout, every effort is made to separate two young lovers, the one a." Prince, the other a serf. Court intrigue, the machinations of a jealous woman, family pride of a scheming mother, all fall before the steadfast de votion of these young lives, and in the end all ends happily. "T Ervin Blunkall as Prince Valdemar pre--sented a strong, handsome and manly character, a brave soldier and a tender lover. Alexander Randolph as Grlgorie vltch did particularly good work through out His apparent villainy, the machina tions of which, however, the last act shows to have been prompted by a father's love, was consistent and clever, Lylllan Atwood as Olga wag sweet and Ivable Julia West For was an impos ing and majestic Princess. Ida May Blake portrayed the. character of the ambitious but rather unprincipled Coun tess Katertna, very acceptably. S. W. Hlllard as John Armstrong, the English man In the play, and Joseph For as the General, handled the comedy part very wejl, the latter causing considerable fun by his very had memory. The balance of the cast is in keeping with the char acters presented. JL handsome black charger prancing and cavorting, but well ridden by "Valdemar, forms a striking scene In the finale of the first a$t The "ballroom scene of the thrd act Is another bright spot that lin gers pleasantly In the memory. "For Her, Sake" will be the attraction for the remainder of the week. Including the regular Saturday matinee. - DAILY CITY STATISTICS. Real Estate Transfers.

He Defends tbe Policy of- Expanalom and Points Oat Benefits to the ."? Pacific Const. Under the auspices of the Sunnyslde Be- publican Club, of the East Side, an effect ive Republican rally took place last night In Hunter's Hall, East Thirty-fourth street A renresenf atlve cratherlng of men and women 'was present, the large halll being fully occupied. There was a pro fuse display ofthe National colors, and the wall Jn the rear of the platform wa3 draped with a large "and handsome flag. Fine music was furnished byan orches tra. P. F. Bobinson, president of the club, presided. " At. the opening he gave an address of 'welcome in behalf of the Sunnysldo Republican Club. Miss Grace T. Holmes, an accomplished elocutionist, was then introduced, and she gave sev eral selections highly pleasing to 'the au- CLAUD GATCH dlence, and she was most heartily ap plauded. The speaker of the evening was Hon. Claud Gatch, of Salem, ex presldent of the State League of Repub lican Clubs. His address, .which topic up about, an hour, was an admlrable""expo sition of the political situation, and such a statement as would be expected from a business man. In the course of his ad dress Mr. Gatch was frequently inter rupted by applause. Mr. Gatch's -Address. Mr. Gatch sketched briefly the history -of expansion in the United States, and said: ''And s. now for the Philippines. ,De-l feated upon the question of the coinage Of silver at the ratio of ij to 1, the Demo Popo party attempt to hold the fag ends of their party together by reafflrmlngJ their platform of four years ago and by fooling some thinking people into sup porting Bryan by raising the .wolf-cry of imperialism.

For 300 years Spain's tillo to .these islands has not. been gain said, and we. won them by act of Dewey and by treaty and the "payment of $20, 000 000 which -very -treaty was confirmed through the urging of Mr. Bryan. One act of that war especially glyes.us title to the Philippines by its bravery and glory. ' Do you remember that t ambus or der wired from Washington to a quiet Commodore 'over in Asiatic1 waters 'A Sparish fleet Is cruising in the Philip pines. Capture or. destroy Jit,VM&n3 the more famous answer thrllllngus to the finger tips: 'I have met the Spanish fleet and have destroyed it' Over. Manila and" the Islands of that far west waves Old Glory. Where the flag waves, In honor let it not come down in dishonor. Who will haul down the flag! "For near 150 years this Nation has en joyed the greatest civilization." Shall we selfishly allowlt no fartherspread? Jls.lt 'good when confined this side ofsalt water and bad beyond? We expanded for slavery for near a century. Shall wo not expand forllberty an equal length of time? "A father gives of experience to a child. Must we allow the Filipino his license In order to teach him liberty,' turn over to his cunning and wickedness7 the people of those cities and islands who are now ours by compact, or "let them drift lntc the hands of commercial rivals,' nations who will laugh at our effeminacy .for so doing? No, never! Bryan may, talk it, but he don' t- mean It A Con-" g-ea which would pull down the flag ovo" there could not be elected because the American don't shirk duty, tne duty to chllize and to better mankind, which God put upon us when he placed Dewey In Manila harbor, , 'Gunpowder Is a clvll lzer" says a wonderful wfrltcr. Like many true sayings, It Is cruel but proven. W: may have to burn much powder, do somo hard tasks and let Bryan send to their death other Lawtons, beforo the end which will justify the mean3 is reached. The world demands it, our sense of right demands it, good morals and common sense demand the re tention of . those Islands. The Pop ulist, who is the most bitter I ever talked to upon the subject says we should give up the Islands with the exception of a coaling station. What logic justifies, that reasoning I don't know. If one coaling station, why not two' V.'e may-need two as badly as one. If two, why not a whole island7 If one islan-3, why. not all? , Is a man not a thief, if he steals a dollar as well ns a hunJrid? Come, my good fellow, vou can't "reason "that way. "Chance, war, purchase, duty, obligations, gqod morals and. conscience gave us the Islands for the promulgation of liberty and civilization versus license and deviltry. And now1 let us be led by Senator Hoar's Satan Into the high place and ba teiripted a little."" What a pitiable misuse of a great lesson! "Six hundred 'miles from the Philip pines lies China; ,rlch in prospect for America, not now knowing her own mind, but waiting for tsat great awakening which is sure to come.

Senator Hoar's devil i3 an awful tempter and -no mis take.'' Mr.. .Gatch then referred to tho trusts. rand showed that protection was not re-' sponsible lor thein oy naming many trusts In Great Britain, where free trade prevails He said: "After, all has been said' and the trusts in general condemned, they will be tested by this question: Do they cheapen produce or goods fo the consumers? If they do, they will survive the clamor against them, Hke tfae Intro duction of machinery the riots of labor against its use. Iff Inthe-end, they are beneficial to the majority pf consumers, the truo end in view, the people will have to stand the present hardships the trusts are ecu sing them." The speaker then contrasted present In dustrial conditions,, with ,those ot four Vears ago ,and closed his address by per sonal reference to President McKInley and Tfieodore Roosevelt declaring- their patriotism and ability were unquestioned. He spoke of the McKInley letter of ac-; ceptance as a manly, statesmanlike doc- OF SALEM. ument, with the true ridkT -touching on and Illuminating all the paramount" Issues with open courage and discerning acu men, t Mr. Gatch said .he regarded Theo dore Roosevelt as one of the coming men in thiscountry, a man of dauntless cour age, ' ability, a thorough American, and worthy the conflence of the people. Aside from the issu.es the Republican can didates represented, they stand for true progress, National prosperity and Na tional greatness. C A.' Bell's Remarks. ' At the close of the fine address of Mr. Gatch tho president introduqed Chris A. Bell, ex-member of the Second Oregon Regiment. On a former evening three young men who had also 5een,' members of the Second Oregon, made addresses In Sunnyslde against the, policy of tho Re publican party, and Mr. Bell's remarks were in reply to them. He said he was confident that the sentiment of a. largo majority of the members of that regiment was favorable to retaining the Philippine Islands, and that the bloodthat had been shed there for the honor of the flag had not been a vain and futile sacrifice. MONTAG'S CANDIDACY. Fnsionists Believe if Hopeless and Are Still Undecided. The warring factions 6t the Fusion partymet last evening .with the Demo cratic - County Central Committee. The subject in discussion was1 ' the chances of John Montag in the race against Mc Craken for the Legislature. ,The mem bers, who have had tihelr ears close to the ground since the announcement of Montag's candidacy, openly asserted that his chances of election were the slightest. His candidacy had aroused no Onthusiasm. It was generallyi regarded, they said, as a mistake. The reaction in favor of a Republican opponent to Colo nel McCraken again made Itself felt, and the matter has been left .open until this evening, when ariother meeting will be held There is unity on this point: If a Democrat runs,' Montag will be the man. If a Republican Is chosen, , C. M. Hodson's rod seems to Miave' the best chances of being stnck ' by the Demo cratic lightning. If Montag is run, he will be called the Democratic nominee. Hodson, on the contrary, would make his flght as the Citizens Legislative can didate. The situation, Is being sized up carefully. The leaders like Montag as a candidate, but they hate to offer him up as, a voluntary sacrifice.' Fifth Ward Republicans. The Fifth Ward Sound Money Repub lican Club met at their olubrooms at First and Jeff erson streets last evening, with a large and enthusiastic audience. John C. Leasure, of Baker County, de livered an able address. ""The next-meeting of the club is set fpf Wednesday evening, October 24.

Grove, Fonnd Gravel That Paid and "Will " Pay More la Fatare. T. Leodore C. McNamer, of- Forest Grove, who has spent three mining sea sons In Alaska, .returned yesterday from the Koyukuk'Rlyer, where he has some valuable claims On, Emma Creek. He showed one nugget, valued at 5160, which he had shoveled out of his sluice boxes last Summer, and quite a crowd gath ered In the lobby of the Perkins to obtain a glance at it The, specimen had evi dently been at one tlftie In the shape of an oyster shell, but had afterwards be-, come bent and doubled on Itself as though jammed between two eroding rocks. He had several other flat-looking specimens of pure gold, which came from the same claim. Being asked whether there were any claims still to be taken in that country, Mr. McNamer said: "Lots of them; that's what's the matter with Alaska. It's size is so great that very little prospecting has yet been done In the great Interior." IJe 1b well satisfied with the results of his three years of labor In the far north, and expects to go back to the Koyukuk next Spring. With his brother, Con McNamer, and Fred Morris, of Linn County, McNamer was the discoverer of the Emma Creek diggings, which have since served to make tho Koyukuk region famous. The gold rush had gone all over that region and staked out claims, but the newcom ers were inexperienced miners and they did Httle prospecting. In November, 1898, all the creeks had been staked out in claims; in January, 1899, the claims were declared open for relocation, and last July McNamer and bis party of seven men made their discovery. The creek, gravel, banks and bars they found full of gold, and took out pans containing as high as 213. "Our claims," said he, "are in a nar row valley, where the bedrock Is only eight feet from the surface of the ground. Gold occurs all the way down In the gravel, and these specimens were shoveled into the 'sluices from within a foof of the bottom. "Emma Creek Is tributary to the middle fork of the Keokuk .River. Near It Is Myrtle Creek, which has also some rich producing claims. Gold Bench, 20 miles below- the south fork, has a gold-bearing bank of gravel five feet through, averag ing 7 centp a pan. One company is tak ing out $1000 afday on Its claims. On Emma Creek our party has seven claims, over a mile and a half in length, and 600 feet wide. These 'we have pros pected thoroughly and know What we have. On one claim we took out $9000 In 12 days. The gold Is fine gold, and as says $19 09 to the ounce. Bedrock 13 two to eight feet below tho surface. Gold Is most plentiful on the bedrock, but per meates the gravel above. L have no Idea what our claims are worth, but I have refused $50,000 for my Interest which is about one-third of the whole lot." Alaska, he says, Is producing an enor mous amotiht of gold every Summer, and ho spoke of 20 boxes of gold dust and nuggets as having come down oa the steamer Olty of Seattle, which he took from Skagway. Each of these boxes, he said," took two men ito lift, and yot the shipment caused no comment to speak of. Alaska has already become an important country, he continued, and its internal commerce is now very large. There are 20 , river steamers plying between St. Michael and Dawson City, and there are 30 on the Upper Yukon between"" Dawson and White Horse Rapids. All these steamers do a big business while naviga tion remains open, and there is every sign of,a permanent growth. The season Is Short along the Koyukuk, however, and all he hopes for ls"90 days o sluicing in the year. He expects to take up giant and pipes when he returns, as there Is a natural falPof'50 feet on his claim, and he will thus tear up the bedrock by the acre when he gets his hydraulic jworks into position, instead of contenting him self with shoveling off a few hundred square feet from the face of the bedrock, as heretofore. v Oregon Industries. The match factory at Marshfield start ed up last week. . . t Four hundred calves were shipped fromi Coos Bay to San Francisco last week. It Is expected that ground will bo broken this week for the smelter at Burkemont. Poles are being placed for the wire that will carry " power from tho new power house' at Cornucopia to the mill at the Union-Companion mine. J. O. Smith and J. H. Rlnehart, of Summervllle, are building a large fruit drier. They have about 25 acres of prunes of their own to begin with. Wall Bros., In Coos County, have seven men at work, running a rock tunnel into the coal vein, on their property, the old BucksklnJack place, on Isthmus Slough. They found the coal by sink'lng a shaft, and they estimate that In three weeks they will strike the vein with the ;tunnel. The Union woolen mill is operating suc cessfully and running full time. It is not unlikely that day and night runs will soon be inaugurated A new electric plant has been Installed with a generating capacity of 3200 candle-power. At present 30 hands are employed and the number will be Increased to 38 In a few days. Dr. Wlthycombe, of the State Agricul tural College, gives as the cause of the partial failure of crops the large amount of rain which fell during the Spring and the manner In which it fell.

Tried alt sorts of remedies and physicians, but obtained only temporary relief. As soon as I began to use the new food the cramps disappeared and have never reappeared. ,. "My old attacks of sick stomach were a little slower to yield, but by continuing the food, that trouble has disappeared entirely. I am today perfectly well, can eat anything and everything I wish with out paying the penalty that I used to. We could not, and would not, keep house, without Grape-Nuts.
