A PARTIAL ONE' General WIlon Give Little Bacosr- &ezncnt to the Protect of a- Boat Salltray at The Ballei. WASHINGTON, Oct, 23. The following partial list of river and harbor, estimates was given out todays Coos Elver UW00 Tillamook Bay 15.0W Upper Columbia and Snake Rivers.. 10,000 Columbia, between Vancouver and mouth of Willamette 18,000 ZjOwj Tom - 10,000 Clatskanle . 20,003 Xwte k... 8.000 3owlltz.

A. portage road would perhaps an swer the purpose for several years to come, end it could be constructed, -equipped and operated at far less ex pense than the boat railway. "At the same time, the Columbia above Oelllo, and the 67 miles of the Snake Stiver between its mouth and Rlparla, are considerably obstructed by rapids and hoals, and the outcome of an attempt to regularly navigate these portions of the two streams at all seasons is more or less problematical. Owing to the uncertainty of the outcome of an attempt to regularly navigate the Columbia above Celllo, and the Snake, considerable doubt exists as to the advisability of constructing at this time the proposed boat railway between The Dalles and Celilo at an estimated -cost to the Government of $2,264,407. No boats now ply the Upper Columbia, and 110 commerce is now handled by the river. Before any very great sum is expended by the United States in improvements of an important character, the fullest in formation should be at hand concerning the character and volume of the com merce to be accommodated." No estimates are made for Port Orford harbor. Several other Improvements for which money has been expended in the past have no estimates, as there are bal ances on hand for their continuance. aOBT.

The steamer Amur, from Slcagway today, brought the men who have been working on the government telegraph line to Daw son, and who have suspended work until Spring. These northern linemen found traces of the intercontinental wire, which was projected and actually begun to connect North America with Europe by way of Siberia. On the summit of a lofty mountain'near Telegraph Creek, they found a stake or surveyor's picket which marked the old enterprise and they also discovered the remains of the old wire, which is still Up in places. The Amur bribes news that more snow has fallen during the last few weeks along the Alaskan and Northern British Colum bia Coast than is usually encountered up to Christmas. Prom Wrangel northward the snow extends to the water's edse. Two recent deiths are reported from Southeastern Alaska, one being Squire Howe, the other Fred Burbee.

The Kootenai and Boundary mining districts,. of British Columbia, are stirred over a railway investigation now being held at Nelson. It is alleged by the secret serv ice agents of the Canadian Pacific Rail way that a regularly organized ring has. existed in the mining regions for some time past, whereby the Canadian Pacific has been defrauded out of many thou sands of dollars by means of fraudulent tickets, originally purchased undated at the offices of the company, to be taken up by the conductors, in the scheme of fraud, and returned to the special agents of this trainmen's syndicate by the special acents, to be sold over and over again. It is understood that in the majority of the cases hotel runners acted as go-betweens. BIG CLUB FOR VANCOUVER. Proposition to Combine Social and Commercial Features. VANCOUVER Wash., Oct J29. A. j?p? cial meeting of the Vancouver Amateur Athletic Association has been -called for tomorrow evening to consider the reor ganization of the club upon different and broader lines. -Business men here have long recognized the need of an organization of some char acter where matters pertaining to the ma terial interests of the city and county might receive general discussion. Several attempts toward the maintenance of such a body have been made, but each, after flourishing for a time, djed out, and no organization of the kind is how In exist ence here. The proposition to be dis cussed tomorrow Is to form a club which will combine social and commercjal feat ures. It is desired that suitable property be acquired, and fitted up as a perma nent clubhouse. In case the business men of the city take the proper interest in the project and show their willingness to effect the organization, the Athletic Club Trrajtosss to merge Its organization into that of the new club, and turn over Its fine gymna sium and apparatus. This would make an attractive adjunct to the new club. An effort will be made, if the object of the meeting is successful, to- acquire the Standard 'Theater property as a club house. TRIED FOR TRESPASSIKG. Oaee of Deputy Game Warden at Oregon City. OREGON CITY, Or., Oct. 29. The trial Of S. 6. Moody, Deputy Game Warden, I& nthe charge of treepasslngjoa' the .prem ise of Captain J. T: Apperson, October's; occurred' In the 3ustlca Court today. State Game-Wardea.Qulmby-was present and testified that he had instructed Moody to watch certain parties and ascertain if they -were not shooting more than the lawfu number of birds dally. The "attorney fop the defense desired to introduce evidence that Messrs. Campbell and Moody were ordered off the Meldrum place on the- day in Question. Senator Brownell, attorney for Moody, objected to this testimony being introduced, as It had, no bearing on the charge of trespass ing on Captain Appersoris place, and was sustained by the court. Attorney Cross, ., for the prosecution, said: "It's a .small hole fo crawl out of, but 1 guess' there Is no help, for '"It." On the stand, Moody stated that it was necessary for him to appear to "be hunt ing, accompanied by his dog, so that he" could more successfully play the role of detective. The Justice will hand down his decision tomorrow, and It Is conceded that Moody will be acquitted. OOAL Iff THE JOHN XAY VAXiLBx. Found Six Miles Below Prairie City Premises to Be, Good Vein. Sumpter Miner. Elmer Cleaver passed through here some days ago on his way from Prairie City to Baker City, with a wagonload of coal which he took from the surface of out crppplngs on John Day River, six miles below Prairie City. Mr. Cleaver snys.that the first outcrop pings occur where this wagonload was se cured, five or six miles below Prairie City, on the John Day River banks. From that point for a'dlstance of about 30 miles, the "blossom" can be found almost anywhere in the valley. To secure this lot ho put on rubber boots, waded into the stream and knocked off the big obtruding chunks with a pick. One piece which he had with him was as largo as" a two-foot cube. It la found in-a sandstone formation. In layers five or six" feet thick, tilted at an angle of about 35 degrees, with sandstone between. The formation Is said to be al most identical with that of the great coal deposits at Rock Springs, Wyo. The quality of this surface coal Is, of course, not the best. The transformation from vegetable to mineral matter Is not yet complete. Samples show the grain of the wood very distinctly, and on one piece the bark can be plainly distinguished. This, however, is generally the case with surface coal, the quality always improv ing with depth. But even these t half formed specimens burn readily, give out much heat and leave but little ash. Some of It was sent .to Pendleton and tested iriu blacksmith shop with very sat isfactory results, reports the East Oregon ion, of that place. The coal has not yet been chemically analyzed.

Are .Working: for Suc cess of Regfular Party. SALEM, Oct 29. That Marion County will roll up a much larger majority for McKinley in 1900 than it did In 1S90-becomes every day more apparent. As the day of election approaches the Republi cans manifest much greater enthusiasm and take-more Interest in the campaign, but there is little increase in the inter est taken by Democrats. ' A few Of the Democratic leaders, who must continue In the control of the local party organi zation, keep up their hopes, if not their expectations, of Bryan's election, but the rank and file, the mass of wage-earners and farmers, in the Democratic party do not seem to care a whoop Whether Bryan is elected or defeated. They will -vote the Democratic ticket because it is Dem ocratic, but not because they have any great desire that Bryan should -be victo rious. " The trend of opinion is everywhere manifest. The scarcity of Bryan buttons worn on the lapel, the absence of "re form" agitation, on the streets, and the comparative sizes of audiences, all show that the Republican party Is far stronger in iMarion County today than It was four yeara ago. When Hon. Tilmon Ford opened the campaign In Salem he spoke to a crowded house. A few days later Hon. Blnger Hermann spoke In the Ar mory and. was greeted by a packed house, after' hundreds had turned away from tho doors because of the crowd within. But when Judge Tho.mas O'Day, of Port land, spoke In the same room, -the availa ble space was not half. filled. Judge O'Day had been widely announced aa an eloquent orator and humorous speaker, but 'even these drawing cards failed to fill the seats'" with men de'sirous of lis tening to -an advocate of Bryanlsm. .How different four years ago. In IBM the Republicans and Democrats held a meeting on the, same evening, the. former in the oldOpera-House and the latter in the old Armory. It is remembered and commented upon today that the Demo crats had ;a crowd which filled the Ar mory to the doors and that a crowd blocked the sidewalks butslde. The'vpte in Marion County. four years ago stood about like thlsi McKinley, 3744; Bryan, 3115; Palmer, 94; .Levering, GS; total, 7323. Of the Bryan vote, It is estimated, by Democratic leaders, that about 1600 were cast by Populists, 1200 by Democrats and the remaining 415 by Silver Republicans. A. P. MeAtee, a prominent G. A. R. man, who voted for Bryan with his Silver Republican col leagues four years ago, says that practi cally all the Silver Republicans are back in the old party. But it Is to be ex pected that a considerable proportion of these men will be among the stay-at-homes, and that they will nearly all be lost to Bryan. McKinley's plurality of .329, however, will be about doubled by reason of the return of Silver Republi cans. There will also be considerable gains from the Democratic and populist ranks, and the plurality over Bryan will be aug mented by a large slice of the Populist vote jrolng to the Social Democrats. Through the fusion into which they were drawn, the Populists were induced to give up In the campaign the funda mental principles of , their party. But they have not given up their "principles entirely.- and many will turn to tho .Social Democracy as the party most .nearly representing their views. , DEMOCRATIC SIDE OF IT. - r ' Deader SayH Idaho Will Go for w Bryan by 5000. WEISER, Idaho, Oct. 29. Frank Harris, of this place, chairman of the Democratic Central Committee of Washington Coun tv, and member of the State Democratic Central Committee, declares that Judge Street's statement In Tho Oregonlan a few days ago as to the political situa tion here is far from correct Ho says that the Democrats will carry the -entire ticket in Washington County by 200 to 230 votes, and that Bryan will carry the county by a majority of 300. In thestate election, he says Bryan will car ry by 5000 majority. He says that this calculation is based on the combined vote of the Populist and Democratic candi dates for Governor last election less the Republican vote for that office. He says that the 'vote in the state will be in creased 25 per cent, and that a majority oT the gain rwill go for Bryan. He says that many of the new voters are employed In building railroads now In progress or construction in this state, and that the foremen as well as the majority of sub contractors are Democrats, and that this element will vote for Bryan. He says that no systematic toll of the vote has been made by either party, as has been reported. , In regard to the Populists and Demo crats each having candidates on the'elec toral ticket, he says that only a few votes will be lost from error In voting to the Democrats; .that it is tho purpose of all Democrats and Populists to vote for the Democratic elector. Out of 15 precincts in Washington County, he gives two to the Republicans. "He says that the legislative ticket throughout the county nominated by the Fuslonl,sts Is for Dubois for Senator; that in the beginning some were nomi nated 'in opposition --to him, but that the pressure has been so great that they have switched overT and are now working open ly for his success. Chairman Harris 'is far more enthusi astic than a majority of the members of his party, tl Is generally conceded that the race In the state will be close and no one thinks of taking the last election as an example. Times have changed slnco then. There is prosperity here upon ev ery hand, and the most hopeful Demo crats only claim a small majority, and generally admit a division in county of ficers. The Republicans claim that the majority of. tho new voters will be for McKinley, and that the well-to-do Dem ocrats and others who are prospering un der tho present Administration are say ing nothing and being counted on by the Bryanites, but that they will vote for McKinley. DEBS AND WOOLKET STRENGTH. Expected to- Be About Equal in Claclcamns County. OREGON CITY, Or., Oct. 9-T. D. Ste vens, of Canby." who Is the leader of the Socialistic, movement In this county oham ploning Debs' candidacy for President, estimated today that the party would poll about 250 votes. The greater portion of these votes would be cast for Bryan Elec- tors in the event that there were no So cialistic nominations. However, the Pro hibitionists claim an equal number of votes in the county, which will draw more or less from the Republicans. At the June election the highest Prohibition can didate for Representative received 21S votes, and the lowest 168, so that the vote for.Woolley cannot be expected to lessen the" Republican majority in June to any great extent Democratic Votes for McKinley. FOREST GROVE,' Or., Oct. 29. Austin Watson, a merchant at Glencoe, Or,, who supported Bryan In 1896, will vote for the re-election of McKinley. Mr. Watson has been in business in Washington County for the past "15 yearsT He explains his changcto McKinley by saying that "Re publican times are good enough for me, and I shall vote this year for what I deem will bring about another four years 0: prosperity." George Vandcrzinden, an industrious ' farmer, near Greenville, Or., who voted j for Bryan, inl8$f, is wearing a McKinley and-Roosevelt button and will support the Republican candidates November 6. Also, D. Rv Bennett, of Gales Cre'ek, Or., who supported Bryan in 18S6, will cast hi3 vote this1 year for the standard-bearers of sound money, which means good times. Governor Gecr at UaiOn.

The University of Oregon football team will run a special car from- Eugene td Portland next Friday. Thirty tons of powder have been un loaded atKlamathon. to be ussd'ln break ing a roadway for the Oregon Midland. John Wilson has over 204 names on his 'petition to the Interior Department for exclusion of Indians from Wallow County. The old cannery at ,the mouth of Coos River burned to the ground last Tuesday night. It was the property of Davfd Hol land, of Marshfleld. The Dalles will have a new ttrra-cotta power on Union street, from Sixth to Tenth streets. One thousand feet of 10 lnch pipe has arrlyed. A wreck occurred last week, on the Coos Bay Railroad, 10 miles from Marsh fleld, caused by a bad rail. A number of loaded logging cars were ditched. A petition to the Wasco County Court for a liquor license at Mc-3ler was denied on technical grounds, and one saloon will haye to suffice for that town for flVD weeks more. A wdnd storm on the night of October 16, says the Port Orford Tribune, was the most severe for several years. Fences were demolished and the roads badly ob structed with fallen timber. It is reported that the Indians near New Pine Creek are suffering from some disease, whether scarlet fever or measles Is not yet definitely known. Three deaths have occurred among them recently. About 200 Indians are -at work In the Grand Ronde Valley in the sugar-beet fields. They receive $6 per acre for pull ing and topping. They will conclude the work of the -season with a grand war dance, for which they are now preparing. The steam shovel that was at w,ork on the Harrlsburg gravel pit is now engaged on the SprlnKfield branch of the Southern Pacific. The high trestle east of Spring field will be filled In, and after that 'work Is completed the trestle near Coburg will be replaced with grading. H. H. Davis, the "Lawton merchant, and J. C. Wooley, of Granite, have an election agreement. If McKinley is de feated, Davis is to wheel Wooley from Granite to Lawton, and if Bryan is de feated Wooley is to wheel Davis .from Lawton to Granite, on a wheelbarrow. A bridge across the mlllrace near Fair mount gave way last week when R. L. Yeager was driving oyer it! He recerfd a number of bruises and was internally Injureu.

Wallace, of Grand Prairie, says the Albany Democrat. The succeeding Spring, during the northward migration of wild geese, this goose disappeared, but returned last Fall and remained until late last Spring, when It again disap peared. On tho evening of the 23d Inst it again returned for its usual Winter's sojourn w!t Mr. Wallace's geese. B. W. Bartlett, Register of the La Grande Land Office, states that tho busi ness of his office this year will be nea-Jy double that of last. Much of this increase ho attributes to the liberal ruling of the department, which enables those com muting or for any reason abandoning a homestead entry to mako a second entry. Under tho old construction of the home stead laws a man who had once applied for a homestead entry was barred from applying for or making subsequent en tries. Last week Antone Agjl. of Wasrontlre. 90 miles northeast of Lakeview. rerorted at. the latter place tho larceny of 68 horses belonging to him. The horses arrived at Lakevlew about the same time as Agli. and were seized by the authorities and their drivers arrested. The animals are held to await action of the Circuit Court six months hence. The case arose from a misunderstanding. The horses orig'jial ly belonged to a man named Emerlck who sold them to the men that had them in charge. But as no payment ha'd bran mad, and the purchasers did not show up, Emerlck again sold the horses to Agli, who made a payment of ?50 on them.

Salts .Were Appealed From Maltno- iaah, PoUc and DoaKltts-Couatic Rnllagrs by the Court. SAtLEM, Oct 29. The-'Supreme Court today handed down decisions as fdllowsi Theodore Altona, respondent, vs. P. P Dabney, garnishee, appellant, vs. P. P. nomah County, J. B. Cleland, Judge? affirmed. Opinion by Bean, C. J. This was a garnishment proceeding against Dabney, who was alleged to havo money - belonging to Herman Vetter, against whom -plaintiff had a judgment Dabney claimed that he had paid tho money, $1000, to Vetter. The trial in the lower court resulted in a decree for tha plaintiff and in sustaining this decree, the Supreme Court says, among other things: "The motion to vacate the decree for want of jurisdiction was properly over ruled. It was based upon the .fact tha the allegations and intefrogatives were neither served within the time fixed by the court In the order for the examina tion of, the garnishee, nor upon him per sonally, but his subsequent appearance by answer was a waiver of any Irregu larity In that regard. The allegations In a garnishee proceeding are essential to Jurisdiction of the subject matter.' But the Jurisdiction of the person may be acquired by a voluntary appearance. A garnishee .stands In the position of disin terested stockholder, and, therefore, ac cording to the great weight of authority, canpotjwaive service of the process by which the property In his hands, or the .debt due from him to ihe principal debtor, is garnlsheed. , Proceedings sub sequent' to the garnishment, however. Instituted for the. purpose of ascertain ing the truth or falsity of the garni shee's certificate, are personal to him self, and there la no reason why he may not waive the service thereof by a vol untary appearance, as In other actions or proceedings against hlnu' Discussing the evidence in the case, the Supreme Court. says:" "This' testimony requires no ' comment. It speaks for itself. There is but one conclusion to be drawn from it that the pretended payment of the money to. Vet ter was a mere 'paper transaction,' ar ranged for the, purpose of Jjoncoctlng a defense to the foreclosure suit then pend ing, 'and that no payment -was actually made or Intended to be made."

In denying this motion, the Supreme Court lays down the following rules of law, some of them new in this stle: "When there are several respondents, and some of them except to the suffi ciency of the sureties on the under taking on appeal, the appeal Is not to he deemed abandoned as to the other re spondents, although the transcript Is not filed within 30 days from tho expiration of the time allowed them to" except to the sureties. ' It vtll be sufficient com pliance with the statute If it is filed within 30 days from the justification of the sureties on tho exceptions filed by their co-respondents; - s ' "Where a cause originates In the Coun ty Court and on appeal to the Circuit Court Is tried on the testimony given hi the County Court, it is not necessary on appeal to this court that the evidence be Identified by the certificate Of the Circuit Judge.-- It is enough if It is Iden tified by the certificate ot the County Judge. - 1 "It is no valid objection to an order panting an application of an executor or administrator to be substituted In place of a deceased party that it was made on the day notice thereof was served upon the attorneys for the oppo site party, as notice In such case Is be lieved to he unnecessary unless required by the court.

"Where, after exceptions to the suffl clcency of sureties on an undertaking for an appeal, the appellant dies, pend ing their justification, and subsequently, and after the substitution of his executor or administrator, the sureties are produced and justify, after notice to the respondent, this court, on a mo tion to dismiss the- appeal, will not as sume to determine the regularity of the proceedings, but will allow the appellant to file a new undertaking here, when he -Indicates a willingness to do so." H. Wollenberg, administrator de bonis non of the partnership property of S. Marks & Co., respondent vs. R. L. Mlnard et al., appellant, from Douglas ileriaru, et ais., appellant, -irom uougias County, J. W. Hamilton, Judge; modified. Opinion by Moore, J. This was a suit to subject certain real property to the payment of a judgment It was alleged that a deed executed by Mlnard to A. T. Thompson was In tended as a mortgage to secure the sum of $500 and to place the property beyond the reach of MInard's creditors, and with Intent to hinder, delay and defraud the plaintiff. The causo was referred to Ira B. Riddle, who took the testimony and found that Thompson was an inno cent purchaser of said 'real property for a valuable consideration and without knowledge of MInard's Indebtedness. The court, however, .set aside such find ings and found that Mlnard executed the deed without any consideration therefor, and with intent to cheat and defraud his creditors, he having no other prop erty with which to pay his Indebted ness, and decreed that the deed be set aside and the property sold upon execu tion to satisfy plaintiff's judgment. The Supreme Court reviews the testi mony at length and modifies the decree In the following words; "From this testimony and the circum stances adverted to we think- the deed was executed to secure tho sum of ?500, which has not been repaid. The decree will, therefore, be modified and the said premises 6old subject to .Thompson's lien thereon, the proceeds to be applied, first, to the expenses of the sale and the costs and disbursements in this, 'court and the court below; second, to the satisfaction of plaintiff's said judgment, and the sur plus, If any, to be paid to whoever may be found entitled thereto by the court below."
