General Wilson evidently has little faith
In & boat railway at the dalles rapids.
to. speaking of that project he said:
"It Is Quite probable that an Improve
Mnent in this part of the river would re
sult in &Tery great benefit to the 'Upper
Columbia country, providing, as it -would,
m all-water route for the shipment of
.grain. 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.

INTERCONTINENTAL. LINE.
Traee of Old Telegraph System
Foicnd ly Party in Alaalca.
VANCOUVER. B. CL, Oct. 29. 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.

Olnims -to Have Been Clieated.
VANCOUVER, B. C, Oct. 20. 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.

MIKINLEY .'STOCK RISING
CHANCES IN MARION COUNTY IM
' PROVE EACH DAY.
Silver -Republicans Have, Dropped
Preax'and. 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.

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.

THREE CASES DECIDED
OREGON'S CHIEF -T-fclBUNAX REN
DERS AS MANY DECISIONS.
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."

last will and testament of Hlram Alonzo
Skinner, contestant and appellant, vs.
George E. Lewis, et al., proponents and
respondents, from Polk County, R. P.
Boise, Judge; on motion to dismiss ap
peal; motion denied. .Opinion by Bean,
C. J.
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. (Hill's code, sections 3S
and 524.)
"Where sureties on an appeal bond are
excepted to. the 'appellant Is not bound
to produce them for justification, but
may abandon his attempted appeal, and
take a new one.
"Where the sureties an an undertaking
for an appeal, when excepted to, at
tempt to justify but fall, tho Circuit
Court may, under section 637 of the
statute, allow a new undertaking to be
filed.
"When an appellant omits to assign
errors in his abstract, through -mistake
or inadventure, he will be permitted to
amend upon a proper showing.
"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."
