OFFICIAL STORY OF PLOT
PLAN
TO OVERTURX CANADIAN
RULE ON THE TUKON.
United" State and Ganada Had
Agreed tcAct Together in Case
of a Rebellion.
OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. 22. Tho story of
the plot to overthrow Canadian rule In
the Yukon, based upon official reports to
the Minister of the Interior, follows:
"About three weeks ago tho police at
Dawson, under the direction of Superin
tendent Woods, shadowed a man whom
they thought was a suspicious character.
The police got into this man's confidence,
and he Anally disclosed a plot which, ho
said, 2ad been formed by people at Skag
way and Seattle. The idea was to rush
the posts In the lower part of the Yukon,
and then take possession of the country.
The conspirators reckoned upon the
American citizens In the Yukon not as
sisting the Canadian authorities, so that
the raid, In their opinion, would be com
paratively an easy matter.
"News of the plot was quickly sent
from Dawson to White Horse, and the
police there 60on bad under surveillance
all suspicious characters. Tho headquar
ters of the conspiracy was located at
Skagway, and It was ascertained who the
characters associated with it were and
where tho papers bearing upon the plot
were kept. There was nothing, however,
to stow any overt act of treason to the
United States or 2anada, consequently
the authorities could not take any pro
ceedings. Canadian officers went down to
Skagway, nevertheless, and consulted
with United States officers, and concerted
action was agreed upon in case of neces
sity. In tho meantime tho persons con
nected with tho plot were closely
watched."
All the facts in tho possession of the
Interior Department regarding tho alleged
conspiracy were made public today. Offi
cials hero do not take a serious view of
tho situation.
On September 21 Controller Fred White,
of tho Mounted Police, was advised by
Superintendent Primrose, of Dawson, of a
report from Seattle that some scheme was
being concocted to seize Canadian terri
tory la tho Yukon. 'On the 25tb - Mr.
White again received a message from Su
perintendent Primrose saying he was un
able to confirm tho report, although cir
cumstances tended to confirm his sus
picions. On September 21 Superintendent
Primrose again wired that his previous
cipher message referred to the disputed
territory and tho Dalton trail, and that ho
was writing. Superintendent Primrose's
letter was received October 7. It stated
that ho bed been unable to confirm cur
rent reports.
It appears that a man named H. Greght
had told at Dawson that he knew of a
conspiracy against the government; that
Greght had been shadowed by the police,
and it was discovered that he told several
stories about himself. He had been In
Dawson about a month. Greght, It was
said by a member of tho Mounted Police,
had been In the grocery business In
Butte, Mont. Nothing more was heard
from there until November 4, when Con
troller Fred White received tho following
telegram from Superintendent Wood, of
Dawson:
"Snyder reports having discovered
whereabouts In Skagway of papers relat
ing to conspiracy to seize territory. United
States refuses to secure unless Snyder
makes affidavit as to conspirators. This,
of course, ho cannot do. Am satisfied
such conspiracy exists."
The police were also trying to locate a
man named Short, who had been men
tioned as having knowledge of a conspir
acy. IT WAS BORJf AT DAWSON.
More of tho Conspiracy to Over
throw Canadian Rule on Yukon.
SEATTLE, Nov. 22. The Times prints
me ionowins irom victoria, B. c.:
There was an organized conspiracy to
seize Dawson, secure the barracks of the
Isorthwest mounted police, with their
arms and ammunition, loot the banks and
pillage the metropolis of the rich North
ern gold fields. These facts are confirmed.
James Seeley, formerly of this city, and
now head of the secret service of the
Northwest mounted police, is in tho city,
and says that not only was there a conl
spiracy to overthrow Canadian rule In
the Yukon and loot Dawson, but the
scheme hatched by the conspirators was
a very feaslblo one, and had its exist
ence not been discovered by the secret
service of tho Yukon and nipped in the
bud, the raiders could have accomplished
their purpose, and, after taking Dawson,
could have held that place and the Yukon
for six weeks or two months.
The conspiracy was born at Dawson,
and had a branch at Skagway, out no
existence in any other point to the south
of Skagway, although efforts were made
to secure tho assistance of pro-Boer sym
pathizers in Seattle and other points in
the United States. It was at Dawson that
tho plot was made last Summer. Several
American Fenians who had drifted to
Dawson got together and formed an or
ganization which was called the Order of
the Midnight Sun. A number of others
were gathered la. and the order mw un
til there were several hundred adherents
in September, when the members of the
secret service in the Yukon became aware
of its existence.

GAS AT ONTARIO.
It TVaa Straclc by Men Drilling for
j, Oil Well Will Be "Shot."
ONTARIO. Or.. Nnv. 22 A trnvl final
ity of gas was struck yesterday in the
oil woll being drilled near here. It was
at once lighted and burned continuously
throughout the night. Drilling has been
discontinued and arrangements are being
made to "shoot" the well.
The gas comes up through about 1000
feet of water. The strike Is iust outside
the great belt where oil 1b said to exist,
and it Is not improbable that another few
hundred feet on the bottom of Ontario's
well will open the deposit for which the
Vale people are looking. The shooting of
the well will take place In a day or two.
Tho townspeople who have subscribed to
tho deep oil well here are greatly exer
cised at tho gas strike, and are willing
to go deeper. If the result la not more
than satisfactory at the UOO-foot mark.

lowing clear-cut article on the LcIs
and Clark Centennial:
It is safe to say that It Is not even yet
generally known to the people of that
portion of our country, known In the days
of Jefferson as the Louisiana Purchase
that a great fair in honor of the explor
ers Lewis and Clark of said region Is
now In serious contemplation, so little
have the nqwspapers of this vast terri
tory had to say about it. This Is not so
much because they do not Intend to take
an active interest "later on" .and labor
for the highest and most gratifying .suc
cess of tho fair as Jt Is due fo a marked
peculiarity of human nature. Enthusi
asm is as muoh of an element of success
in great Public dcmonctrntlnnB na ovm.
ktlve ability and business scnae; and cn-
wjutuwjm is aDout as hard to get on long
time, even with absolute, sepurlty, as the
necessary cash itsolf, and possibly harder.
Ninateen-hundrcd-flve sounds like the day
t Jsrosnt: to roost people. No one
v. Ls of layJnS aslde a dollar now with
whloh to pay a debt In 1805. Why?
Debtor and creditor both shall have "gone
glimmering," perchance, Jong before that
U(7ie, But this Is not the way to look
ven the common affairs of life in the
fooe much less a great experiment. En
jnuslasm will "come to the rescue" as
the good work proceeds, in fact, the
healthy enthusiasm that naturally comes
of well-directed efforts In a great cause
fraught with far-reaching results Is best
because most lasting, and freest from re
action and its discouragements.
What Newspapers Shonld Do.
Our newspapers then should tak nn tha
work In a systematic way. Let us not
dejay. At present Eastern papers are
making more note of tho coming event
in inn papers more directly interested.
Let us; begin before we discourage them.
Already they have given us an earnest
support of the advertising we may expect
at the hands of their generous and able
writers.
Lot everybody favor the fair, and favor
no other In the, meantime. Let every one
becomo informed as to what is to be done
and inform his friends In the East through
the natural channel of correspondence.
Mall them copies of your home papers fre
quently, or, better still, arrange with ycur
editor for an extra subscription for them
at reduced rates. Evey family In Oregori
the whole Northwest, for that matter
should secure for 7 cents the beautiful
62-page Oregonlan Handbook and send It
to some friend or prospective visitor to
our Coast.
This Is a work In which every one can
do something. We need not wait for mpn
with their millions. We need, not wait for
legislative enactments. Think of the vast
aggregate of lasting results if each indi
vidual in this great West, including the
very school children, does all he can, and
in a systematic way, for the next four
years. Think of Its effect on our unde
veloped resources, on our' schools, our
society, the many conveniences and com
forts of life. This requires no large
amount of capital, and exacts but a small
portion of each one's time. It requires no
great financiering. Leave that to the
magnates. Do not worry about the finan
cial success of the great fair. Let the
.stockholders do that unpleasant and un
necessary thing. Do not wjorry about the
banks, Lt u? trust to their sense of fair
ness to do their part. Do not worry
about the railroads. They will put more
Into the enterprise than all other sources
combined "by reduced excurelon rutes, th
circulation of many tons of carefully com
piled statistics of resources, every spe
cies of handsomely Illustrated literature
In fine, all that goes to make up four
years of advertising on an exceptionally
grand scale. Let us th?n do oqr duty as
the great common people, the salt of tho
earth, says Holy Writ.
What People Should Do.
What you and I need to do Is to wake
up to the importance of the great enter
prise and show our individual loyalty to
a most deserving cause, and our devotion
as never before to every Interest of our
native or adopted West Let us be
ashamed, rather, to say wo are doing
nothing In honor of tho great explorers

the whole Western Empire will take parr.
We will simply co-opera to and do col

since lndlvlduallyr-get our friends to come
And ee our country and Its boundless re
sources, lta actualities. Its possibilities;
come and see Its people, its schools

come and see our fertile prairies and the
storehouses ot oar rich hills and moun

come and taste as delicious fruit as e'er

Ceres golden fields; come and taste the
ozone of our pure atmosphere, taste our
great variety of mineral waters and taste
the pure waters fresh from tho cool crys

want them to come and see our lovely

ers mat, as tney go "softly calling to the
sea," are likewise Imploring capital and
enterprise to harness their powers with
the lightning and turn their wast.ng en
ergies to the account of man.
In all this let us remember that one vis
itor to our 1303 fair Is worth more to the
Northwest than 10, or possibly 20. times
the number visiting the great Eastern
fairs could reasonably be to the overcapi
talized, densely crowded East. Let ua
remember that our direct financial gains
will far exceed thelTs In proportion to
amount Invested; let us remember that
our Increased trade with tho Orient In
consequence of this great exposition will
certainly compare favorably with the In
creased trade of the. East with the South
American states due to her great fairs,
finally. Itit U3 remember that the Indirect
benefits accruing to any section of the
East from her mammoth fairs Is incon
sequential when compared with the Indi
rect benefits we shall receive from the
Lewia and Clark Centennial Expot,ltion
throughout the entire West. The four
years of systematic pre-cenrnn'al adver
tising, and. better still, the many years
of postcentennlal publishing, In store for
us from the many thousands of delighted
visitors, the Increased population, capital,
energy, new enterprises and social advan
tages are simply incomparable and incal
culable. Then hero's to you, boys, for the
greatest possible enduring, substantial
success of the "Where Rolls the Oregon,

NOT A PANACEA.
Alms of Direct Legislation Defined
by a Supporter,
ALBANY. Or., Nov721. (To the Editor.)
While the writer agrees with much you
have said In your articles, appearing in
the dally of the 18th Inst., roating td
direct legislation, yet your statement
hardly prevents the views of the members
of the league. None of them has an
idea that direct legislation 13 a panacea
for all political Us. In fact their pre
sentation of the advantage which they
hope to secure from the enactment or
tho proposed constitutional amendment
has been 00 mlldy drawn that it has been
a question whether a more vigorous cam
paign would not rouse popular interest
to a greater degree. Bo that as it may,
we have no desire to play euch a part,
and -If wo secure the passage of the Jaw,
it will be because the people honestly be
lieve that it will prove an Improvement
over tlje present conditions.
We think that the peoDle are safer
with the veto power In thdr own hands,
as it will prevent thp passage of vicious
legislation to a certain extent, and will
correct some bad laws after passage. We
do not believe the referendum will bo
used extensively, for legislators will hes
itate to pass las which they know will
be disapproved, if referred to the people.
The Interests which push Taws for private
or corporate benefit will be careful In
spending time and money to secure the
passage of such laws, if the people can
reverse them.
As to the initiative,, a law will be ur
gently demanded before that part of tho
law will be used, for It requires con
siderable effort to secure the necessary
names to a petition.
We think that the law will give the
press more influence, because It will open
a field for djscuesion outside partisan pol
itics. I think the assertion is safe, that
no law can stand under its operation,
which 1b attacked by a number of Influen
tial papers.
As to tho expense, we had a reference
of four proposed changes at our last
election. The additional expense can
readily be determined from the cost in
that Instance. c. C. HOGUE.

Complained of Excessive Duty.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Flfty per cent
duty was assessed at this port on a sculp
ture Imported recently by H. C. Have
meyer. It was a "Madonna and Child,"
by MIno de Flesola, of the 15th century,
and was Invoiced at 60,000 lire, or 510,965.
Mr. Havemeyer appealed to the board of
classification of the general appraisers,
saying the duty was excessive. Most of
the figure of the Madonna Is In alto
relievo, but the hesd and neck and the
child aro "In the round." The board here-
tofore has held that the terms "statues"
and "statuary" aro limited to figure, In
full relief or "In tho round" altogether.
This vjew however, was controverted at
a recent hearing by Jonathan Scott Hart
ley and other experts. The board found
that the article was statuary, and under
the agreement with Italy it will come In
at only 15 per cent duty.

In their day we hatf few practical hunters
or trained dogs, and but few hunted, and
they with the old muzzle-loading gun,
and generally without a dog. Now a
multitude, with modern shotguns and
practiced dogs, cover the land during the
open season. Hunters come to the
upper valley from California, from Port
land and many of the towns of "Washing

for a good part of the season. With
a slxtoen-cartrldge gun and a dog, what
chance for oscape has a pheasant, or
what chance Is there for one of a flock
of a dozen scared up. If It Is desirable
to preserve the Chinese pheasant, the open
