tion. Dr. N. G. Blalock was re-elected presi

?50,000 DAMAGE BY WIND.
Only One Life Lost in the Gale on
San Francisco Bay.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 29. A high
northeast wind which blew over the bay
between midnight and daylight this morrf
ing, Inflicted damage to the extent of
probably $50,000. Vessels at anchor and
moored to wharves were thrown about
with violence. Only one life was lost.
While trying to throw a line to a steam
launch, Joseph Blackwell, a quartermas
ter on th6 transport Warren, at anchor
In the stream off Folsom street, lost his
balance and fell into the bay. The only
vessel wrecked as a result of the gale was
the bay schooner Fannie, which had taken
on a cargo of 70,000 feet of lumber for
Stockton, and was lying at section A of
the seawall. The Fannie now lies sub
merged, with a great part of the lumber
floating in the bay.
The worst damage to any wharf was
inflicted by State Pile Driver No. 2 upon
Melggs' Wharf. The waves carried the
plledriver against the wharf with such
force that the big stringers were quickly
smashed, and a hole at least 15 feet deep
through piles and heavy timbers was
made before the gale subsided. The new
Filbert-street wharf, now under construc
tion, was damaged to the extent of about
510,000. The barkentlne City of Papete and
the schooner Alice collided In Mission
Bay, and dragged their anchors.
At Oakland long wharf, the force of the
blow was hardly less severe than on this
side of the bay, though few vessels were
thcre to feel its effects. The bay schooner
Carrie Bove, laden with 40 or 50 tons of
scrap Iron from the wreck of the May
Flint, was capsized and went to the bot
tom with her load.

iciL iur ijuauun iouay iu eniisu capiuu jii
a mining discovery on Indian River, 28
miles from Dawson. Miners who nad
worked in the South African gold fields
were attracted to Indian River by simi
larity of the rich bank deposits of the
sand. They carried their Investigations
further to the neighboring benches, and
discovered that the escarpments of the
Indian River Valley were composed of
immense masses of conglomerates iden
tical in composition with those which
have yielded so many millions of treas
ure in South Africa. A superficial pros
pect of the deposits sataisfied the miners
that they were gold-bearing, and subse
quent examination at various points re
vealed the fact that the stuff carried from
$1 to $200 in gold to the ton. Coal has
been found within a short distance of the
property.

TAKEN TO SUPREME COURT.
Robertson Determined in His Salt
Asrninst State Land Board.
SALEM. Jan. 29. The mandamus suit
brought by Dr. C. H. Robertson against
the State Land Board about six months
ago was today appealed to the Supreme
Court. Robertson applied for the purchase
of 320 acres of state school land in Wasco
County, which had been sold already to
two Wasco County men. The first pur
chasers were more than a year delin
quent on their payments, and Robertson
asked that their certificate of sale be
cancelled and that he be permitted to
purchase the land. The board refused to
cancel the certificates until the first pur
chasers had been given notice of their
delinquency. Robertson then brought a
mandamus suit, which was decided ad
versly to him by Judge Boise. It was
held that the State Land Board is the
sole Judge of the rights of contesting ap
plicants for the purchase of state land.
It is from this decision that the appeal
Is taken
Settlers' Heaneat of Jones.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. Encouraged
by the success that attended the efforts
of Representative W. I. Jones in Introduc
ing a bill In Congress and having It be
come a law. granting to J. C. Smith and
Thomas Paul the privilege to buy the land
they were occupying on the Fort Walla
Walla military hay reserve, for $t 25 per
acre, the three other parties who are now
In possession of land on the reserve, which
they have occupied and improved for
many years, have applied to Mr. Jones to
put In a similar bill for their relief; that
is, a bill granting them the privilege to
buy this land from the Government at the
rate of $1 25 an acre. The names of these
three settlers on the reservation are Mark
Evans, who wants 187 acres; Mrs. Hannah
Prather, 95 2-3 acres, and Mrs. Margaret
Sawyer, who will be contented with 944,
acres. '
Sheep Scab Stamped Oat.
BAKER CITY, Or., Jan. 29. Advices re
ceived here from sections immediately ad
jacent to the city are to the effect, that
the scab, which has been prevalent among
several bands of sheep, has about been
stamped out, and but a comparatively few
cases remain. The threatened outbreak
of hog cholera, reported at Pendleton, "has
few terrors for the stockmen of .these
parts, and no Indications of the disease
have been found.
Discass Railroad Subsidy.

lem Commercial Club held a special meet
ing this evening to discuss the progress
of raising the subsidy for the Salem
Sllverton motor line. Owing to the In
clement weather, the attendance was

raising $20,000 subsidy until It is com
pleted. Delegates to Woolgrrovrexs' Meeting:.

GOOD STATE JOB FO&NEAL
"WILL SUCCEED DRUM OR LISTER ON
THE BOARD OP CONTROL.
No Political Significance Attached to
Appointment McBride Will Retain
" Adjatant-Geacral Drain.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Jan. 29. Governor
McBride today made one of the most im
portant appointments within his gift
when he named Grint Neal as a member
of the State Board of Control. In making
the appointment, the Governor said to
press repxesenta lives:
"Grant Neal, Auditor of Skagit County,
will be appointed a member of the Board
of Control. Mr. Lister and Mr. Drum will
tender their resignations, to take effect
at my pleasure. The resignation of ono
of these gentlemen will be accepted to
take effect February 1st, and Mr. Neal
RE-ELECTED PRESIDENT OF NORTHWEST FRUIT
GROWERS' ASSOCIATION.
DR. N. G. BLALOCK,
will take his place. The object of making
the change now is this: I want the new
member to visit the state Institutions In
company with the other members and
myself."
Just when the resignation of Drum or
Lister will be accepted is not certain. It
Is generally believed that Neal will take
Henry Drum's place. Mr. Lister has about
a year to serve to complete his term,
while Mr. Drum's term was for four
years, and he has been In office not quite
one year. He is chairman of the Demo
cratic state committee, and Is therefore
thought to be more "offensively parti
san" than Lister, besides the latter has
a more Intimate knowledge of the duties
of the position than Drum because of
having served much longer on the board.
The appointment of Mr. Neal has no
political importance. He comes from
Governor McBride's home town and coun
ty, and Is a personal friend.
Drain to Be Retained.
Governor McBride also made the an
nouncement that It was his Intention to
retain the present Adjutant-General. He
said:
"Adjutant-Genera Drain has done ef
fective work. He has the confidence of
the officers and members of the National
Guard of the State. He will be retained
as Adjutant-General."
General Drain was appointed from Spo
kane January 1C, .1901, by Governor Rog
ers. His appointment was for the period
ending January 15, 1905, but it was ex
pected that the new Governor would de
sire to make a new appointment Gov
ernor McBride has, however, listened to
the voice of the National Guard of the
state, and made the announcement today
after being convinced that General Drain
was proficient and popular with the
Guard all over the state.
Indorsed for State Librarian.
CHEHALIS. Wash., Jan. 29. J. A. Gn
bel has been Indorsed for State Librarian
by the executive committee of the Repub
lican central committee for Lewis Coun
ty. Thomas H. Dunckley, a Centralla
newspaper man, has made a strong fight
for the position, but after examining the
indorsements of Messrs. Dunckley and
Gabel last night the committee decided
in favor of the latter. Mr. Gabel is chair
man of the Republican county central
committee.

following: '
A petition of the Chamber of Commerce
of Seattle, praying for the enactment or
legislation extending the coastwise laws
of the United States "to the Philippine Is
lands by January 1, 1903.

Urnres Root to Bar "Thorite."
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. Representative
Cushman has been urging Secretary Root
ti purchase the patent rights to "thor
ite," that powerful explosive Invented by
the late Dr. Hiram P. Tuttle, of -Tacoma.
The department like Mr. Cushman, be
lieves that thorite is a very powerful and
very successful explosive, but whether
the price of $100,000, asked by Mr. Tuttle,
during his lifetime, will be paid Is a mat
ter for Congress to decide. The effort
made at the last session to appropriate
$100,000 for this purpose failed, the com
mittee agreeing to only half that amount,
which offer was rejected by Mr. Tuttle.
It is hardly believed that the full amount
asked can now bo had.

feet of lumber.
No Collection for McKInley Memorial
SALEM. Or., Jan. 29. No collections
for the McKInley monument fund were
taken In the Salem public schools today.
This was not due to a lack of respect
for the late President McKInley, but to
the fact that It has always been the rule
In Salem schools to permit ho collections
to be taken among the school children,
except, perhaps, for the benefit of the poor
at Thanksgiving time.

Discover Chain of Mountains Not on
Map Commercial Importance of
Work of Party.
SEATTLE. Jan. 29. After undergoing
hardships and overcoming obstacles, the
members of the Trans-Alaska Company
exploration and trail building party have
succeeded In cutting their way through
from the Yukon to Illamna Lake, and
establishing a trail which It is said will
mark a new era, commercially, so far as
Nome and the contiguous region Is con
cerned. In addition to establishing a horse trail
with roalhouses 30 miles apart, making a
safe route in. the depth of Winter for
travelers, mall and freight, the party se
cured a good deal of topographical in
formation in regard to the country trav
ersed, which will render necessary mate
rial alterations In the maps with regard
to the locations of rivers and lakes. A
chain of mountains not given on the maps,
with one peak said to rival Mount Rainier,
was crossed by the party and Its gen
eral features carefully noted. A shorter
and lower range was also discovered to
He between th3 Yukon and Kuskowln
Rivers.
It was commonly believed that the party
had met with disaster In the frozen
wilds of the Interior, as Its arrival at
Illamna was expected two months ago.
The party endured numerous hardships,
and for several days was compelled to
subsist on horseflesh. Some of its mem
bers were badly frost bitten, and Deputy
United States Surveyor Webster Brown
had his forearms frozen, and still wears
them Incased In bandages. The news oi
of the expedition arrived here today on
the steamer Bertha, Captain Johansen,
which made the trip down, from Kadlak
in a little more tlian eight days. One of
the party on the steamer was J. M. Shaw
han, a newspaper correspondent, who
hurriedly departed for San Francisco to
night Deputy Marshal Kills a Man.

Results From Dissatisfaction Over
the Action of a Superintendent.
LEWISTON, Idaho, Jan. 29. Two hun
dred Nez Perces Indians are engaged
In a tribal dance on Lapwal Creek, 15
miles from this city. The dance is
the result of a council that convened
last week to discuss the proposed
abandonment of Lapwal agency and the
transfer of the same to the superin
tendent of the Lapwal Indian Indus
trial School. The council expressed
disapproval of the acts of Superintendent
Voorhles, in charge of the school, and
who has enforced attendance of Indian
children at school. A resolution wa3
passed condemning the superintendent
and asking that the agency remain sep
arate. A delegation of chiefs was also
appointed to vlsft Washington to make
the wishes of the tribe known. The coun
cil met five days ago and the excitement
of discussion gradually resulted in the
wild, weird dance of the tribe. George
Moses, Philip McFarland and Peo-Peo-Kalipt,
chiefs of the .tribe, are partici
pating In the dance. Guards have been
stationed to prevent the Indians from re
ceiving whisky, and precautions taken to
prevent depredations. A party arriving
from the scene reports that the canyons
are echoing with the yells of the dancers.
Superintendent Voorhles addressed the
council during Its early deliberations, but
it seems was unable to influence the In
dians. Severe Snoiv Storm on Strnlts ot Fuca

CONSUMPTION
ACTUAL
The last United States mortal
ity bulletin shows a marked de
crease in the number of deaths
from consumption.
Ten years ago the official rec
ord showed the annual number
of deaths out of 100,000 popula
tion to be 245. The recent bul
letin shows that only 190 now
annually fall victims to con
sumption out of the same num
ber of Inhabitants.
In 1S90 the average life was
31.1 years; now It Is 35.2 years.
These facts point unmistak
ably to the actual retreat of
the grim monster Tuberculosis,
which is responsible for tho
largest number of deaths from
various diseases.
The honor of thus effectively
arresting the progress of this
fatal malady rests with the
wonderful system of treatment
which has been reduced to an
exact science for thecure of
consumption and for the cure
of catarrh and other prevalent
conditions which pave the way
