South Baker City People Think They Should Have Had a Vote. BAKER CITY, May Z In all probabil ity there -will be a legal contest over the Issuance and sale of the ?100,000 bonds authorized by the special election last Monday. What seems to be the main jrround of contest Is the refusal of the Judges of election to allow residents of South Baker to vote. South Baker was an nexed to Baker City by an amendment to the -city charter passed by the last leg islature. The election wag called and provision mad for the holding of the bonding election, before the annexation amendment took effect, and the Judges, it seems, held that so far as this election was concerned, people living in South Baker were not residents of Baker City. The South Bakerites insist that as their property will be taxed to pay the principal and Interest of the bonds, that they had a right to vote, else their property must lie exempt from liability for taxes, so far as the bonds are concerned.

RAILROAD SURVEY BEGUN TO RUN FROM WASHOUGAIi JMJNES TO TOWN OF WASHQUGAI.. Portland Company, Headed by W. M. Ladd and Jonathan Bourne, Back of the Project. VANCOUVER, Wash., May 2. L. F. Russell, a prominent Washougal citizen, stated today that a large party of sur veyors established a camp at that place yesterday, and commenced the survey of a line for a railroad from the "Washougal mining district to a noint on the Colum bia near Washougal. The party, Mr, Rus- sell says, is known to be employed by a company of Portland capitalists, of which William Ladd and Jonathan Bourne are the best-known members. This company1 owns some valuable mines In the district, which it has been de veloping for the past two or three years. It announced last year Its intention of building a railroad from its property to the Columbia as soon as the develop ment reached a stage sufficient to war rant the outlay. According to G. E. Beeson. of this city, who, with several associates, first brought the Washougal mining district into prominence, by the discovery, de velopment and subsequent bonding of the Blue Bird mine, the Ladd-Bourne Company has, expended upwards of $250,-. 000 "in the purchase and development of its property. Fully $150,000, he estimates, has been spent in opening up and equip ping the "Last Chance" and "Skamania" mining properties. These mines are fully equipped with steam drills, air pumps, hoists, and other modern mining ma chinery. Over 1000 feet of tunneling, with an Immense amount of cross-sectioning and other development has been done, and many tons of rich copper ore are lying on the dumps awaiting trans portation to a smelter. Over 100 men are engaged on the property and indications point to greater activity the coming sea son than ever before. , Notwithstanding the extensive opera tions, of this company, Its work has been carried on so quietly that few people out side of the Immediate vicinity have been aware of what was taking place. , The company now owns a body of land six miles long by two miles in width, sur veyed Into mining claims of 20 acres each. It recently acquired six sections of land from the state and lays claim to a large body of government land, yet un- surveyed. A telephone line from Wash ougal to the Skamania mine, was begun some time ago and Is nearing comple tion. The impression Is general. In and around Washougal that the company is preparing to build a smelter on the river at the terminus of the railroad now be ing surveyed. , Mr. Beeson says the coming season will see greatly increased activity in all the mining region along the headwaters of the Washougal and East Fork of Lewis River. A company, composed of Z. S. Russell and George Nerton, of this city, Representative Moore, of Skamania County, and others, commenced develop ment last season of a group of claims on Gold 'Run,' three miles north of the Blue Bird camp. A tunnel ;was run Into one claim a distance of 200 feet and ar rangements are being made- to double the working force on the property as soon as the snow disappears. "Work has been progressing satisfactorily on the Blue Bird and other claims In that vicin ity for several years past, and many tons of ore now await transportation. In all parts of the region' there are rich de posits of copper ore, while In some lo calities gpld-bearing quartz Is found in more or less paying quantities. The "Wash ougal district, in the opinion of Mr. Be'e son and other well-informed mining men, is destined to become In time one of the greatest copper-producing sections in the West This mining region Is not new. It has furnished an attractive field for explora tion by prospectors for the past 40 years, and rich "mineral deposits have been known to exist there for that periods Owing, however, to the rough character of the country, Its distance from the Co lumbia, and the difficulty and expense to be encountered In building roads, it has been recognized generally as an ex pensive proposition, requiring capital for Its development. This fact has until quite recently prevented any great amount of development or systematic exploration of the region. During the past two or three years, however, capital has been In duced to become Interested in the section. It Is generally predicted that the begin ning of the railroad survey by the Ladd Bourne syndicate Is the first step taken towards overcoming the difficulties in the transportation and reduction of the Im mense mineral deposits of the Washougal and Skamania mines. Many mining men here predict a Cripple Creek boom ere another year passes. CTTY MAIL DELIVERY. "Will Be Inaugurated at North Yak ima Soon as Honses Are Numbered.

The Inspector made a visit to Parker Bottom, and lt Is expected that a route will be t established there. The postofflce of Ahtanum will probably be discontinued when Route No. 4 is in work ing order. Claude Stewart has been ap pointed carrier. Medicine Man Mnrdered. Tennewashee, an aged medicine man of the Yakima tribe, was shot and killed at his home on the Satus, about 40 miles from here, last Saturday. A sum of money amounting to about $62, which he had in his possession the last time he was seen alive, was missing. It Is not be Heevd, however, that robbery was the motive of the crime. As a medicine man Tennewashee's treatment of the sick was peculiar and not always successful.' A number of relatives of hl3 departed pa tients were supposed to be on his trail. The authorities believe they will have the man who did the killing under ar rest within a few days. Tennewashee was well known throughout the valley. He was possessed of considerable wealth. He had large numbers of horses and it is believed by his neighbors that he had a box of $20 gold pieces buried somewhere on his ranch. REPORT ON VANCOUVER BANK.

The Supreme Court today declared section 171 of the state school code unconstitutional, and the re sult Is ttiat what is Ttnown as the com pulsory education law Is a dead letter in Washington. Section 171 is to the ef fect -that any parent may be summoned, before the Superior Court, and on fail ure to give a good and sufficient reason for failure to send ,mlnor children to school, may be deemed guilty of a misde meanor and fined or otherwise punished. The grounds or the Supreme Court', decision are that the provisions of the sec tion referred to do not come within the" purvlew of the title of the act, which is, "An act to establish a general and uni form system of public schools in the State of Washington." The case came from Thurston County. In 1E99, John Mc Donald and wife, of Tenino, were com plained against by County School Superin tendent Henry, and as they recused to send their three minor children to school after bejng so ordered by the Superior Court, were fined $20 each. An appeal was taken, and the result was as set out heretofore. The decision of the Supreme Court will be a disappointment to the edu cators .of the state. MONEY IN NAIL KEG GONE.

Orept'on "Working Capacity of Mine "Will Be Greatly Increased. BAKER CITY, May 2. The Bonanza mine, which is located about 20 miles from this city, now holds the record for the greatest clean-up in one month of any mine In' Oregon. Superintendent "V. H.

' The Bonanza was recently sold by the Gelser brothers of thl city, to the Standard Gil people for $750,000, The last payment of $40,000 will be made tomorrow out of the money taken from, the mine in April. The mine is belnsr carefully worked by the present owners, who are satisfied with their purchase to the ex tent that a million dollars added lo the" purchase price would not buy the prop erty today. Recent examinations made by experts have demonstrated that the present facilities for extracting the ore are entirely, inadequate, and preparations are now in progress to more than double the working capacity of the mine. When this is done the monthly output will, it is said, place the Bonanza among the great est mines n te I'nlted Sta'es.

All Have Poor Catches-VFhree Brand ed Skins Among the Lot. VICTORIA, B. C, May 2. A fleet of sealing schooners reached port today, and many more are behind them.

Among the catch were three branded skins, which were some of those branded by the United States on the Prlbyloff Islands. They, were taken 'south of Cape Flattery. But for the schooner Victoria springing her mainmast, the fleet suffered no Injuries during- the recent gales. The schooner Triumph lost a boat with two mates, but it was afterwards learned that they reached shore. News was received from Nootka by the Incoming sealers that htere Is excitement there over reports that Chief Maqulnna, the last of the old-time Coast chiefs, whose death occurred a few 'days ago, was poisoned by plotters who wished his death.

BAKER CITY, May 2. The Mayor and City Council have filed an objection to the vitrified water pipe which Is being sent here for mains for the new water works system above the pressure line. It Is said the pipe Is not up to the specifi cations and Is not nearly es good as the vf trifled pipe made In Spokane. About 1400 feet of the pipe has been distributed by the contractor preparatory to laying in the ground and about seven carloads came In yesterday. The rejection of this pipe will probably result In a lawsuit, as the contractors say It Is up to the specifications. The trouble over the pipe 'is likely to cause a delay of at least three months In the completion of the new gravity water works system. Such a delay3 would be a serious mat ter for Baker City, as the present pump ing plant, which supplies water from wells, will not be sufficient to furnish even drinking -water far the inhabitants during the dry season. In order to over come the difficulty it is proposed to put fn a temporary pipe line from the hot springs, near the eastern boundary line of the city, and pump water from there to the oJd reservoir and allow it to cool before turning Into the mains. This Is good pure water, and, as a temporary ar- i rangement, an abundance of water for all practical needs can be obtained until the new system is completed. To Get Hatchery In Readiness. OREGON CITY. May 2. E. C. Green man, who has been superintendent of the Upper Clackamas hatchery for the past two years, will start out a force of men tomorrow to get things In readiness for the coming season.

Baltimore American. The experience of the Indianapolis Press, which suspended publication re cently, should disillusionize a horde of people who believe the road to success In journalism Is an easy one to travel. The Indianapolis News was built up by John H. Holllday and William J. Richards, who devoted a ouarter of a century to the work. So successful were they that when the property was sold to dissolve a partnership It brought nearly $1,000,000 at nubile auction. Holllday and Rich ards retired and Immediately established the Press to compete with the paper they had just disposed of, but with no thought of destroying it. Few newspaper experiments have at tracted bo much attention" as has the Press. The men behind the enterprise knew the Indianapolis newspaper field as Intimately as they knew the alphabet. PThey knew, too, all the Ins and outs of the art of making a complete, clean, vig orous and attractive paper. Before a single number of the Press had been printed Messrs. Holllday and Richards invested $250,000 in their plant, thereby procuring an equipment capable of pro ducing a perfect newspaper. In addi tion they surrounded themselves with tal ent of an unusually high order. The re sult was that; from Its first Usue the Press was a model newspaper, carefully prepared, expertly edited and possessed of most prominent qualities of taste and elegance in appearance and In contents. But lt did not succeed. From the outset lt was a losing venture. Now, after 16 months. In which time the losses, In ad dition to the original Investment, aggre gated over $2CO,000, the experiment has been adjudged ajallure and the paper has suspended publication. The amount of the loss $450,000 In all Is staggering when all the facts are considered. But, while this sum gives some Idea of the enormous ex pense connected with the production of a complete newspaper, it is but an incident. and aside from the moral of this case. The Press was In every way equipped for success, yet It failed. Why did lt not suc ceed? The answer appears on Its face. The days of mushroom growths In journalism are passed. The successful papers of to day are those established ones having per manent qualities. They fill the field; In ears Economical soap is one that a touch of cleanses. ; Pears' shaving soap is the best in all the world. All sott of people use PeaiV neap, all sorts ef stares Mil it, opeciallr drugxiUa. Y You Are Nervous If you know it's due to something very serious, you had better consult' your doctor.

T r- vrr , r. r.mr.'lt, MaaS. them the public has confidence, their opin ions are respected, their dignity recog nized, their power for good, to the public and to the business men who patronize their advertising columns. Is demon strated, a matter of common knowledge. Other papers that appear In competition are coon forced to confess to failure. They may flourish for awhile, but the people al ways go back to their .favorites. This Is so true that there Is no case on record in recent years where a new journalistic ven ture has seriously interfered with the prosperity of the established newspapers. In the case of the Press Its competition, increased the popularity of the News, In this day and age lt Is, then, safe to conclude that success In journalism Is a thlncr of exceedingly slow growth. The business has grown to such gigantic size that new ventures are virtually barred by reason of the enormous capital r'equlred. Even where money Is spent with almost wanton liberality, as In the case of the Press, to Insure the publication oC a. com plete paper, failure la more often the re ward than Is success. The very slowness of the successful growth Is a guaranty of its stability, and. though other ventures ma be made and rewarded by an ephem eral success, the established paper Is able to defy competition if it keeps itself young and vigorous In tone and spirit. This Is L because there is no power competent to destroy the successfully established paper except Itself, So long, therefore, as It does not commit sulfide lt is free from danger. These facts may easily be gleaned from the Press experiment by men who think they see an opening for success In this very peculiar field of labor. "WEBFOOT" THE PERFECT PLOUR.
