THE MORNJJSG OBEGONIAN, MONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1901. MORE HOLD-UPS ATSALEM FOOTPADS AGAIN WORKING THE CAPITAL CITY. Tvro Jlormon Elders "Were RoMed of 12 Saturday Melit Gitlxeas Arc Alarmed. SALEM, Or., Dec. 15. The numerous liold-ups in this city and vicinity yester day have caused do small excitement, and evey man who -walks the streets in the eubi:rbs after nlcht must count on the poss.blllty of meeting the highwayman. Aftir two hold-ups in the eastern part of town early in the evening; Sheriff Dur hlnsnd Chief of Police Gibson made a tour of that part of the city in the hopes of finding the robber. While they were searching: some empty lumber sheds near the passenger depot, two Mormon elders were held up within 150 yards of the of ficers. The two elders were relieved of $12. From the descriptions given by those who have been held up, It appears that there are two robbers working independ ently of each other. The robber who held up thiee men near the Reform School is supposed to have operated In Salem last night. The officers are in hopes of being made the subjects of a hold-up them selves, so that they will have an oppor tunity to catch the robbers. KLAMATH LAKE RAILROAD. Pokesama Sugar Pine Lumber Com pany Resins Work, GRANT'S PASS, Dec. 15. The Poke garaa Susjar Pine Lumber Company, which lias begun the work of building a railroad Irom Laird's station, a few miles south of the state line, to Upper Klamath Lake, a distance of 65 miles, has filed articles of incorporation and begun business. Be sides building the railroad the company will build and operate steamers on the Klamath Lakes and Klamath River and tributaries in Southern Oregon, establish ing docks, constructing wharves and do ing a general transportation business-. "Work has already begun In surveying the road, getting material on the ground and in grading. Many carloads of rails have been brought in and unloaded at Laird's. It Is the desire of the company to hurry along the first portion of the road, or that leading Into the Klamath pine forests, so that the mills being con structed may be put to work at an early date. Mining; Matters. The new Osgood hydraulic mines of the "Waldo district, developed this past Sum mer by F. H. Osgood, a Seattle railroad and mining man, have opened operations lor the "Winter. These new mines prom ise to take leading rank among the big hydraulic properties of Southern Oregon. They will operate three giants both night and day, and have many miles of ditches and flumes, constructed at a great cost, as it was found necessary, in getting the water to the mining ground, to dig a tun nel through Hogue Hill, a mountain of solid rock, a distance of 350 feet. The working grounds of this new mine, like that of all the Waldo placers, Is very rich, and the property begins Its career with a bright outlook. The Angel placer mines, situated In the Upper Gallce Creek district, have beeD sold by Jackson & Call to William Geb hart, of Idaho, and J. H. Rogers, of Mich igan. The consideration is not known. The property is Jn course of development only, and will be repaired, improved and put In a business-like shape for work by the new owners. Theoldand noted Dry Diggings hydraulic mines, situated three miles east of Grant's Pass, and recefitly purchased by Ament Bros., of Chicago, began their Winter's work two days ago, under the new man agement. Owing to the many Improve ments, the extensive repairs and the greatly Increased facilities of these mines under the new management, their run will be longer and their production of gold greater than ever before in the history of these old and noted placer diggings. The Baby quartz mine, situated in the Louse Creek district, a few miles north or Grant's Pass a new property purchased and equipped a short time ago by East ern people, is making an excellent show ings The mill Is kept pounding steadily night and day, crushing rock that Is aver aging $25 per ton In sulphurets and free gold. The Klondike mine, of this dis trict. Is also running steadily and meet ing with excellent success, it being an other property recently equipped and launched out for business. The success of these mines has stimulated a number of other undeveloped properties In the dis trict, and a number of stamp mills are to be erected during the coming year. LOGS "WEST TO SEA. And LoprfrerM, Havlnff Xo Contract, Cannot Sne Boom Company. GREENLEAF. Dec. 9. The half dozen crews who have been putting logs Into Lake and Deadwood Creeks to be floated to mills on Sluslaw Bay lost so many of them by the failure of the boom company to close Its gate when the first high water came last month that their balances will all be on the wrong side of the ledger. In most cases about half the logs went out. There Is no telegraph or telephone down the river. The boom people, though a lit tle anxious, did not believe there had been Tain enough toxstart the logs. At 11 P. OL none had arrived. At another ob servation at 1 A. M. a log was seen float ing, and the boom was closed. But be tween those hours about all the logs started by the rain had passed and gone to sea. There was no contract with the boom company. Some of the loggers had gone In debt to carry on their camps, ana In their desperation thought to sue the fcoom company for their loss, but they find that In the absence of a contract the boom people are not responsible therefor. Neither can the latter collect boomage on the logs they have caught, but In re taliation for threats of nonpayment they might send them all to sea, for they are under no obligation to hold them. All the settlers on the Sluslaw above Its junction with Lake Creek, owning timber are reported to have signed an agreement to sell no more unless It Is received and scaled at the river bank. Be low the junction of those streams there Is very little good timber left. The mills have quite a supply of logs on hand, but unless there Is a change In the situation they will soon want more. Meantime the owners of the Spruce Point mill announce that they will soon build at or near Florence a new mill ax large as any on the Day, and tney iiavt with some difficulty secured a site for a boom of their own on the north side ot the bay between the old boom and Mapie ton. LEVI AXKEXY'S ADVICE. Telle Eastern Orejcon People to De mand Their Rlfflitu in Convention. BAKER CITY, Dec. 14. Levi Ankeny, president of the First National Bank, ot this city, was in the city today for a short stay on business connected with the bank. While here he ventured to make & few suggestions in regard to politics. He advises the people of Eastern Oregon to organize and demand their rights of the conventions that assemble to nomin ate candiJates for state offices. He ad vised the forces to get together and not to separate, but to unite on their man and they would win the contest every time In speaking of his brother, Henry Ankeny. who is one of the candidates for Governor, he said It was natural that he should favor his brother, which he pro posed to do, not only because he was a close relative, but for the reason that he thought he was in every way qualified lor the place. Mining: Xotcs. J. R. Romlg, manager of the Sanger De velopment Company, Is In the city, and has just dosed ft contract for ft sis-drill compressor, two hoists and other ma chinery for the mine, amounting to over $5000. This machinery will be delivered in 25 days. The 10-stamp mill out at the Sanger is pounding away dally on high-grade ore, and everything about the camp has an air of business and prosperity. The new equipment just ordered will place the mine In splendid shape. Gleadale Ckarck Dedicated. ROSEBURG, Or., Dec 15. The dedica tory services of the new Presbyterian Church In Glendale, In this county, were held today. The officiating ministers were: Dr. W. S. Holt, of Portland; Dr. J. A. Townsend, of Roseburg; Rev. C. W. Hayes, of Grant's Pass, and Rev. J. E. Blair, the latter 'being Installed as the first pastor. The new building Is neat and commodious, and well suited to the needs of that growing town. PUGET SOUND TRADE. (Continued from First Page) an offshoot of the Portland Flouring Mills Company, Is also managed by a graduate from the Portland mills. Kerr, Glfford at Co. have for dock superintendent A. Rob erts, who was for a long time on their CHRISTMAS SERMON BY IAN MACLAREN. By special arrangement "with his publishers, next Sunday's Orego nian will contain a short Christmas sermon by Ian Maclaren, author of "The Bonnie Brier Bush." It is not in dialect In this sermon the Rev. John Watson, Presbyterian minister, preaches without a text, in an orthodox -way, a strong but sweet and spiritual discourse, which he has titled "A Call to Simplicity." dock In this city. Outside of the wheat business there are a number of Portland ers and ex-Portlanders taking a promi nent part in the commercial life of the city. Frank Woolsey la In charge of Dod well's steamship interests here, and as the Dodwell line is now the largest for eign steamship enterprise on the Pacific Coast, he Is kept very busy with a large office staff working under him. He has recently been joined at Tacoma by C. V. La Farge, who was for a long time In charge of Dodwell's Portland office. The new docks at Tacoma are proving none too large for the business for which they were planned, for with the delayed ar rival of a number of ships, wheat has piled up on the exporters until there Is more wheat on spot at this port than has ever been held here before, the amount running well up towards 100,000 tons. Quite a fleet "of ships has arrived within the past few days, and the docks will hardly be as full again this season. Good Tagboat Service. The tugboat service on Puget Sound is excellent. This statement Is perhaps superfluous when it Is known that Puget Sound tugs not only cover their own field, but find time to steam down near the Columbia River, and make fast to $100,000 salvage finds right under the nose of Columbia River tugboatmen. The picking up of the PInmore and bringing her to Puget Sound is regarded as a hilarious joke by the water front con tingent In both Tacoma and Seattle. While there Is some censure for Captain Jamieson's apparently needless abandon ment of his ship, at the same time the Columbia River tugboats come In for a share of the criticism, the burden of the opinion here being to the effect that the tugboatmen on the Columbia are afraid of "mal de mer." Captain "Buck" Bailey, of the Tatoosh, who has but re cently left Puget Sound for the Colum bia River, escapes some of this censure, the impression here being that he tipped the job off to the Puget Sound Tugboat Company without making any effort to capture the richest salvage prize in 10 years. Probably the next time a ves sel Is reported In distress a few miles north of the Columbia River, there will be enough curiosity aroused In Astoria to get a tug there before one can bo sent from Seattle, 200 miles away. Tncoma's Industrial Activity. Tacoma has developed quite a "dlnner pall brigade" since she emerged from her comatose state a few years ago, and the various factories, mills, foundries and shops give employment to a large force of skilled and unskilled laborers. One of the latest additions to her industrial en terprises Is a first-class shipyard. In which Captain Al Stream, formerly u Columbia River tugboatman, is Interest ed. Stream hung around Astoria for a long time, trying to awaken an interest in his enterprise there, but falling, came to Tacoma. Here he joined forces with a recent arrival from Connecticut named Hardy, who has one of the finest, best equipped small machine shops and foun dries In the Northwest. They have re cently completed a largo steam schooner and are Just finishing off a four-masted barkentine for Charles Nelson, of San Francisco. She Ms a magnificent looking craft, 214 feet long, and cost to build nearly $75,000, the greater portion of which was paid for labor and material In Tacoma. There were 160 men working In the machine shops and shipyard yes terday, although there has been a ma chinists' strike on In this shop for nearly six months. A temporary examination of the PInmore has disclosed the fact that she is comparatively uninjured, but she will enter the dock for further ex amination. The PInmore and Nelson. The future ownership of the PInmore is still In doubt. Captain Jamleson, ac companied by J. C. Flanders, was In Tacoma yesterday, looking over the sit uation. Captain Jamleson Is still re garded as master of the ship, but finds himself in the peculiar position pf being obliged to ask permission before he can go aboard. Accompanied by Mr. Flan ders, he went over to Quartermaster Har bor yesterday and went aboard. The question of salvage was not discussed, and the amount that will be claimed by or awarded to the Puget Sound Tug boat Company Is all a matter of con jecture. The storm In England has dis arranged the cable service to such an extent that Captain Jamleson has been unable to receive any instructions from his owners, and nothing will be done un til after the verdict of the court of In quiry Is received. 'This court, which will consist of British Consul Laldlaw and two British shipmasters, will meet In Portland Tuesday. Salvage cases like that of the PInmore are so rare that no one seems to know just how much more the rescuing tug will be entitled to than she would have received from an ordinary pick-up at sea. Some men in pretty close touch with such matters venture the opinion that the Nelson, with her valuable cargo, will pay as much and perhaps more thin the PIn more. The Nelson, as she lies at Senttle, does not make such a bad appearance as might be expected, considering the savage tussle she had with the elements. The full extent of -her damages has not yet been Teported by the surveyors, but she was so roughly handled that some of her beams were started or broken. The PInmore is at Quartermaster Har bor, which Is regarded as a suburb of Tacoma. while the Nelson Is lying at anchor In Elliot Bay. With a Columbia River grain ship lying, at both of these rival ports, there Is a temporary truca In water-front hostilities between the two ports, and neither port has shied a brick at the other since the appearance of the latest reports of their respective harbor masters. Five Hundred and Fifty Honclesx, SALEM, W. Va., Dec. 15-Last night fire caused a loss of $500,000 and destroyed the business district of the place.

Aad Time Is Tea Skert Nevr-Xer tke UadertaldBff Recaast el Vet ob Mayer. ABERDEEN, Wash., Dec. !. A condi tion of things has developed In Monte sano. the county seat, which may result in the loss to Chehalls County of many thousand dollars of delinquent taxes. In fact, all the delinquent taxes for 1S95 and prior years are imperiled. This loss wli: probably result to the county in case there be no publication of the delinquent tax list before January L two weeks hence. That the list will not be published Is more than likely. In fact, it Is almost certain that It will not, for it will be Im possible for the biggest printing estab lishment in the state to set up the list within the short time remaining, consist ing, as It docs, of 30,000 descriptions ot property. There is room for difference ot opinion among lawyers as to whether the failure to publish the list before January 1 would bar the county. The Legislature provided that the proceedings to foreclose the taxes of 1S35 and prior years "must be commenced on or before January 1, 1902." The foreclosure of a tax lien being a proceeding purely In rem, It Is held by many authorities that such a proceeding Is not begun until the publication of no tice. It Is held that the act of the last Legislature referred to Is a statute ot limitations and that its provision as to the time of commencing foreclosure is mandatory, and If proceedings be not be gun by January 1, the county will be forever barred as to all taxes for 1S35 and prior years, amounting in this county to $40,000. At Seattle last week, King Coun ty was struggling with the same ques tion, and the Board of Commissioners took the advice of several of the leading members of the bar of that city and made an extra allowance to the paper doing the official printing for the employment of a larger force and additional machines to get out the work. If the list be not pub lished In this county on time no blame will be attributable to the printer, for the rea son that copy has not been furnished him In order to proceed with the work al though It is said he repeatedly notified the county officials that It would be necessary to get in the copy 30 days to six weeks prior to the first of the year. Recount Vote for Mayor. Members of the Council have decided to recount the vote for Mayor cast at the recent election on the demand of Mayor Anstie. L. L. Maley. who won by two votes, resisted the'- count through his at torneys. The count will be made Mon day night. KENNEWICIC DITCH SOLD. Attorney for the Bondholders Bid In tke Property. NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. Dec. 15. Saturday afternoon, at the hour of 1:20, the Kennewlck ditch and all the other holdings of the Dell Haven Irrigation dis trict were sold at public auction by O. A. Fechter, master of the Superior Court In the proceedings, to John J. Rudkln, attor ney lor the bondholders and others, for the sum of $307,357 50. As soon as the sale Is confirmed by the court the legal procedure dissolving the Irrigation district will have been completed, and the persons who bid in the property will bo free to reopen the ditch and put water upon 12,000 acres of land at the extreme eastern end of Yakima County. One of the principal bondholders Is Prank Dudley, of Niagara Falls, N. Y., who was out here during the Summer, and set the legal machinery In motion for the dissolution of the district. The ditch, which was one of the finest In the West, was built by Eastern capitalists 10 years ago. Shortly after completing the ditch they organized an Irrigation district and sold their holdings to the property-owners under the canal, who issued bonds. In 1S9S and during the hard times which fol lowed, It was found impossible to keep the ditch In repair, and It fell Into disuse. There has been no water in It for the last four years, and it has drifted full of sand. The sum of $50,000 will be required to put It In order. This Is what the promoters of the enter prise intend to do, and do with as little "delay as possible. The ditch may be made ready for use by the coming Spring, and It Is altogether likely that it will be. A boom has been on in that part of the country ever since the movements of the bondholders became known. A large part of the available land has been secured in various ways. The land under this ditch Is of great fertility, and the reopening of the ditch Is of supreme Importance to the whole eastern half of the county. Then Kennewlck, which Is now almost a de serted village, will again be a thriving town. Freiskt Train Wrecked. A small freight train wreck occurred early this morning at Roza, a small sta tion several miles north of this place. One freight train was not on a siding suf ficiently far to allow another to pass. The men in the caboose, which was struck by the moving train, were pretty badly shaken up, and Fireman Brennan was hurled from his train, going 30 miles an hour, struck upon a pile of ties and sus tained a broken arm. besides some bad bruises. A car loaded with cattle was damaged and one animal killed. SUIT OVER A COLT. Costs Already Amount to $04, and Animal Is Worth, but $5. NORTH YAKIMA, Dec. H. The suit ot H. A. Woodworth vs. George Wclkel win be heard In the Supreme Court Monday on appeal. The case Involves the own ership of a colt valued at about $5. So far the bill of costs amounts $64 40, and the end Is not yet. BraUcman Crushed to Death. John Phillips, the brakeman who was killed at Toppenlsh yesterday, was now in the employ of the Northern Pacific, having come from the East but recently. His wife had joined him two or three days before his death. In stepping from a freight car to the engine tender he fell to tne track and was crushed almost beyond recognition. Petition for a Mall Roate. The people of Klickitat County are cir culating a petition which asks tho As sistant Postmaster-General to establish a mall route between Goldendale, In that county, and Toppenlsh, in Yakima Coun ty, a distance of 60 miles. If the depart ment sees fit to do this It will be of great benefit to both counties. Under existing conditions It takes mall from three to five days to go between the principal places In the two counties, and It Is equally Inconvenient for travelers. The petition calls for a trl-weckly mail service by way of Summit House, in the SImcoe Mountains, and further asks that a postoffice be established at Summit House, with Tnurston Masters as nost- master. A similar petition is In clrctr- lition in this county, and it Is reported that 1000 signatures have been obtained. ADVERTISED Unclaimed Letters Remaining In the PosteAce at Portland, Or.

Success; Many a man with great brain power and fine physique who started In life with good prospects has failed to attain great success because of little Idiosyncrasies, peculiarities of speech or manner; things not In themselves vicious or wrong, but whjch render him disagreeable or un acceptable to those who have dealings with him.

It would be most help ful. For example, one young man's ad vancement has been cut down 25 per cent by bad temper, a surly, disagreeable dis position; another's by carelessness In dress, an unkempt or slovenly appear ance; and yet another's by a sharp tongue or an unkind habit of criticising. Many a brilliant and capable stenogra pher has failed to advance because she had disagreeable habits which annoyed her employer, who, while he recognized her ability, preferred a less able sten ographer who had amiable and agreeable qualities. The lack of amiability has stood In the way of advancement of many an employe who wondered why he did not get along. BOND SALE IS OFF. Lewis County Loses "What Seemed to Have Been a Good Bargain. CHEHALIS". Dec 14. Auditor Schooley is In receipt of a letter from N. W. Har ris & Co., of Chicago, who recently con tracted for the purchase of ?100,000 of Lewis County 20-year bonds, stating that they find on Investigation by their attor ney certain legal complications which will make their final acceptance of the bonds impossible. The difficulty lies in the fact that the old bonds do not pur port to be optional at the end of the 10 year period, but each contains a recital that it is due on the 1st day of January. 1912, or before that date, and after Jan 'uary 1, at the option of the county Section 1S50 of the Code of Washington provides that 10 years before .these bonds are due the Commissioners are authorized and required annually to levy a tax suf ficient to liquidate said bonds at maturity, and section 1S51 provides for the Treas urer to Issue a call for outstanding bonds when he has $2000 of this special fund on hand. Harris & Co.'s attorney holds that unless the county expressly reserves the option (on the face of the bonds) to pay them after 10 years, the holder ot the bond3 could not be compelled to sur render the same unless the- funds were on hand which the Treasurer had collect ed for this specially levied fund; that It Is provided by section 1S50 that the county Is not empowered to sell refunding bonds and from the proceeds compel the hold ers of the old bonds to accept payment prior to date ot maturity. A copy of the bond which has been submitted would Indicate that their contention Is correct. A special session of the Commissioners has been called for Monday to determine what further steps should be taken in the matter. It Is likely that the board may negotiate for 510.000 of refunding bonds at an early date to retire the first 510,000 of the old Issue, which will be due January 1, 1902. The outcome of the matter Is unfortunate for the taxpayers, as an exceptionally good sale had been made, at an Interest rate of about 4.09 per cent. A Looser ICHIcd.

It belongs to the man of action, quick to see and to seize opportunity. A small nose indicates a passive nature, one less apt to act, al though he may feel as deeply. He will have many theories, while the possessor of a large nose will have deeds to show. Persons with small noses are most lovingr and sympathizing, but their friendship is not the active kind. A nose with the top slightly tilted Is the sign of the heartless flirt. A long nose shows dignity and repose. A short nose pugnacity and a love of gayety. An arched nose one projecting at the bridge shows thought. A straight nose shows an inclination toward serious subjects. A nose that turns up slightly Indicates elo quence, wit and Imagination. If turned up much It shows egotism and love of luxury. A nose that slopes out directly from the forehead, that shows no Indent ing between the eyes, indicates power. If the nose Is indented deeply at the root, the subject will be weak and vacillating. A nose that turns down signifies that the possessor Is miserly and sarcastic. 3Iarlboronsrn or 3Iorlborourh. Notes and Queries. Every boy at Marlborough College or who ever was at Marlborough College, calla his school "3Iorlborough." I do not think that all Marlburlans are necessarily what B. calls "Hne people." Why the pronunciation should be so I cannot explain. The derivation of the name of tho town ia doubtless obscure, but I gather from tho "History of Marlborough College" that Professor Earle suggests as the origin of "Marl" the two words maer-leah. Maer, being Interpreted, means a boundary, and Ieah or lea Is a meadow or cattle run. Marl therefore stands for "the cattle-run on the boundary." The "borough" Is beorh or beorg, a hill or barrow, and this refera to the curious "mound" which Is now part of the master's garden at Marlborough College. The highest smokestack In Germany has Juit been completed by the chemical works at Rhelnau for the purrKw of obviating the dele terious effects of the noxious gases upon the agricultural products of the vicinity.
