Three Out of a Hatch of 75 Nearly Done Nctt Contests. OREGON CITY, Or., Nov. 7. The tRking of testimony in the contest of Charles K. Hays against 75 applicants for timber land In Tillamook County drags slowly along. Three cases have been taken up, and In no case has the contestoe appeared per sonally. The attorney acting for the en trymen cross-questions the witnesses of contestant at tedious length, but offers no testimony in opposition. Three of the cases, those of Sollie Smith, Mors H. Lar sen and Lavina B. Coates, are expected to be concluded this week. That of Lar sen will probably be ended tomorrow. The contest filed by G. O. Nolan yester day covers the same ground as that of Hays, now In progress. While this new contest could not be rejected, the appli cation to give it precedence over Hays was not allowed. G. O. Nolan is a brother of Oak Nolan, who is cashier in the bank of the Thayers at Tillamook, and among the contestees is G. O. Nolan's own brother. Oak. Just what Is desired to be accomplished by this new contest 1b not quite clear, if It Is made in good faith. MOT FIGHT FOR MINING CLAIM. Of Peculiar Interest, Because It In volves Boundary-Line Question. VANCOUVER, B. C, Nov. 7. A case of peculiar Interest In connection with the boundary line dispute at Mount Baker will be in the courts shortly. It appears that several Americans from Portland cwned a valuable claim, and had It record ed on the American side of the boundary l.ne in the American office at Sumas. Hardy Bros., of Chliliwack, jumped their stakes, and also recorded on the American &lde. Later It was found that the claim was on the Canadian side of the bound ary, and the Canadian jumpers restaked it and recorded it in the Canadian office at qhllliwack. A few days later the American owners on the original record tame along, and also restaked and re corded on the American side. Now the Americans are suing for the possession of the property, a finding that the Cana dians have no right to the claim. Other claims in the seme district are In much of a similar position, and the de cision In this matter is being locked for ward to with eagerness. BIG MIXING SUIT OX. Question nt Issue Is "Whether a Deed Was Not In Reality a Mortgage. BOISE, Idaho. Nov. 7. At Weiser today the trial was begun of the case of Gran ville Stuart vs. A. M. Holter, Massena Bullard, Samuel Hauser, Charles W. Whitcomb, J. C. Rogers, F. W. Sharp and Eugene T. Wilson, receiver of the First National Bank of Helena, Mont. The value of the property In dispute viz., a seven-sixteenths interest In the Peacock and White Monument, and eleven-thirty-seconds in the Helena, is alleged to be $1,000,000. Ex-Governor Hauser is the defendant principally Interested. Wilson Is brought In as a sort of intervenor rep resenting the interest in the bank, and denies in his answer that Hauser ever settled the indebtedness of Stuart to the bank by paying over to the bank a por tion of the consideration for the alleged deed given Hauser by Stuart. Stuart Meeded the property to Hauser. It Is al leged by him that he did so to secure an Indebtedness due the bank. The other side alleges that It was an out-and-out transfer. The main point at Issue is whether the deed was not in reality a mortgage, though there are many others of importance. The transaction dates back to 1890. Today was occupied In tak ing the testimony of Mr. Stuart, and he had not finished w"hen court adjourned this evening. EASTERN OREGON MINE SOLD. Timber Canyon Group "Will Asrain Be a Scene of Activity. BAKER CITY, Or., Nov. 7. The Tim ber Canyon group of mining claims have been sold by Jacob Thompson to Thomas Carlck Burke. This has long been known as one of the most promising gold propo sitions in the Virtue district, and there has been done on It between 1800 and 2000 feet of work. The ledge has an average width of 3 to 12 feet throughout the en tire length of the nine claims in the group. This property was once worked in a small way by an arastra, from which values are said to have been obtained as high as $40 to the ton. Heretofore the en tanglement by reason of a multiplicity of owners deterred the operation of this property. All these difficulties, have now been quieted, -and Judge Burke has al ready let a contract for resuming work on the upper tunnel, which will cut the ledge about 200 feet In depth with about 40 .feet of additional work. Arrangements have been made to begin this work at once, and soon work will be resumed on the lower tunnel, which will cut the ledge on a different claim about 1600 feet In depth. This Is considered by mining men as one of the most important transactions of the season. The property has a splendid showing, is situated on the other side of Lookout Mountain, and has plenty of timber and water, with a good mill site. FOR WITHDRAWAL OF LAND.

In ac cordance with orders received from the War Department today, eight companies of the Twenty-eighth Infantry, together with the headquarter's band, field and regimental staff officers- will leave here rlext Tuesday for San Francisco to take the transport Grant for Manila, which sails November 15. The remaining ba talllon of the regiment, consisting of com panies B and H, stationed at the Boise Barracks, Idaho, and F and G at -Fort Wright, Wash., Is directed to sail from TKe Oregon Fruit The fine fruit exhibit at tho Tan-American Exposition, shown In the accompanying picture, was altogether the best In vari ety of product and general excellenco and attractiveness shown at Buffalo. It secured the much-coveted Wilder medal, award ed by the Pomological Association of America, some of the fruit that won the prise appearing in plates on the front row. The. exhibit was awarded altogether by tho exposition 14 gold medals, 15 silver medals, 45 bronze medals (80 in all) and 14 hon orable mentions. Considering the small amount of fruit sent to Buffalo, this showing is remarkable. The Buffalo Review, No vember 2, contains an appreciative write-up of the entire Oregon exhibit, saying, among other things: "From a standpoint of merit, tho collective exhibits from the State of Oregon equal any that were made, and surpass tha majority. From no single state has there come such a variety. The wealth of the mines, the products of the field and forest and the Industrial products of the state were all shown In profusion. Public opinion concerning tho state 'where rolls the Oregon has been well molded by the various exhibits made at the Pan-American. "Not the least interesting were tho wonderful exhibits ot fruit. Apples, pcare, grapes, apricots, prunes and all the smaller fruits were shown in great quantities and in such quality as to put the state foremost In tho ranks of the fruit-growing Btates of the Union. Of the apples, the Kings, Alexander, "Wolf River Baldwins, Spltzenbergs, Yellow Newtown Pippin, Red Cheeked Pippin, Oreron Red, Jonathan, Kay, Romanite, Northern Spy, Arkansas Black, Black Twig, Glorl Mundl, the Ben Davis and Gano, predominate. "Of pears, the varieties, Idaho, Beurre de Clalrgeau, Doyenne du Commice, B eurre de Anjon, Louise Bonne do Jersey, Fall Butter, Kieffer, Pound Pear, Bartlett, Sickle an4 "Winter Nellis ate the more common. There are. however, some 12 or 15 other varieties of pears, some of which are totally unknown in this country. K "The display of grapes includes Niagaras, Concords, Wordens, Sweetwaters, Delawarcs and Malagas. Quinces twice the Btze of th two flsts are common, and are of very fine quality, despite their size, which Is very unusual. Small fruit, such as cur rants, peaches, prunes and apricots are Bhown in the preserved state. vThe greater part of the fine fruit came from the Hood River Valley section of the state, a section noted for the produc tion of fine fruits. To this section, however, the Willamette Valley section Is a close second when It comes to fruit-growing, and a great many of the finest aps and pears are from the latter section. Some of the ilnest fruit in the exhibit "was sent by E. L. Smith, president of the State Board of Horticulture. "Colonel Dosch, as superintendent of the Oregon exhibits, Mrs. Edyth Tozlcr Wcatherred, commissioner, and Mr. George Slo cum, in charge of the horticulture exhibit, have been thoroughly competent representatives of the Pacific Coast State. They have made numbers of friends, who will regret their leavctaklng." - Portland on the transport Rosecrans for the Philippines on the same date. It is probably that Colonel Mott Hooten, now In command of the regiment, will not be sent to Manila on account of the early date of his retirement for age. In that event. Lieutenant-Colonel John F. Stretch will command the troops to go on the Grant. This command will number about 1000 officers and men. As the First and Third battalions of the Twenty-eighth U. S. Infantry, now at Vancouver, are to sail on the transport Grant, from San Francisco for Manila, on the 15th, It will be necessary for them to entrain on the Southern Pacific In Portland on November 12. Bids have been asked for from the Vancouver car line and the various steamboat lines for fur nishing transportation for the two bat talions from Vancouver to this city, so that they can get away Tuesday. The plans were to send the First and Second battalions of the Twenty-eighth Infantry on the Grant from San Francisco, and to transport the rest of the regiment on the Warner or Sheridan. Those two last-named vessels are disabled In the Ori ent, and are not available, and this Is probably the reason for the selection of the Rosecrans. Farewell Entertainment. Arrangements are being made for a musical and literary entertainment next Saturday evening for the benefit of the Twenty-eighth Infantry library fund. The entertainment will also be In the nature of a farewell to the Twenty-eighth In fantry, which will leave here for Manila next Tuesday. Closing the Registration Books. City Clerk Beeson has Issued notice to the voters of Vancouver that the regis tration books for the coming city election to be held December 3 will be closed November 14. CONVICTED OF MANSLAUGHTER.

The University ot Oregon football team certainly played In very hard ludk Wednesday at Moscow, when Oregon and Idaho played a scoreless game. Horace McBrldc, who plays right halfback and is regarded as tho fastest ground-gainer on the team, had his shoulder broken In the third scrimmage, and "Pat" Murphy, the cool-headed quarterback, was car ried off the field .with a broken collar bone early in the second half. It is especially unfortunate that these accidents happened to the backs, as only one substitute was taken along for the back positions. In the game tomorrow with Washington Agricultural College, Adams will play quarter for Oregon and Watts, left tackle, will take McBrlde's place at half. Goodall will bo shifted from left guard Into Watts' position, and Penfand will play guard. Although the team la materially weakened, the Ore gonlans ought to hold their own. How ever, tho friends of tho Oregon team have a grave apprehension concerning the Whitman game next Tuesday, and It 13 the general opinion that the crip pled team from Eugone has little chance against the stalwart Sons of Marcus, although tho Oregon boys can be de pended upon to fight gamely to the bit ter end.

C. nntl Chemawa. The Multnomah football men are hard at work, getting Into shape for the, game with Chemawa tomorrow. It is 'rumored that Chaunccy Bishop, Salem's fast half back, will play with the Indians. Bishop has been acting as coach at Chemawa, and, if he plays tomorrow, the Mult nomah forwards will have their hands full stopping him, for Bishop Is recog nized as one of the best ground-gainers in the state. Multnomah to Play In Seattle. Manager Buckenmeyer, of the M. A. A. C. football team, has arranged for a gamo with the University of Washing ton, to be played in Seattle November 16.

"So Jeffries is the favorite in the bet ting," he said today while being rubbed down after a long run, "well that's only natural, for he Is champion, while I have yet to obtain that prominence. I was looking over the records last night, and 1 was surprised to learn the number of short ends that win in San Francisco. I never was more confident of victory in my life, and why shouldn't I be? Jeffries hasn't Improved mUch; I fought him a draw when I was only a novice four years ago. If on that occasion I had the same confidence I have now. I should certainly have won, as It was I who had by long odds the better of the contest. But there Is another way to dope me out. Jeffries met Sharkey twice and failed to put him out in- 45 rounds, while I put a quietus on the hearty sailor In 15 roundE. Moreover, I am better now than I ever was In my life, and, mark my prediction I will be champion on the 16th day of November." Ruhlin's stock Is going up every day. His appearance, confidence and strong de sire to train faithfully have made for him many friend3 and backers during the past week or two. BASKET-BALL TOMORROW.
