CAPITOL WILL BE UP
McBride Says People Are
Needlessly Alarmed.
CONTRACTOR NOW SAYS SO
Governor Holds There la Tto Reason
"VTh.-y Building; Cannot lie Com
pleted by the Time 3fext Iicgr-
. islatnrc Sleets. . (
t
Governor McBrldo states that the an
nex to the Capitol at Olympla -will b
finished by the time the next Leglsla-. i
ture meets, and any alarm of the people
is needless. The contractor now as
serts that the shut-down will,not be for
as long a time hs feared.
jA
OLTMPIA, April 15. Governor McBrlae
evidently has little laith in statements
given out by the Goss Contracting: .Com
pany, -which is building the capital annex.
jBeferrins to the statement of the Arm's
superintendent that -work -would be sus
jpended, on the capitol annex for probably
'three months, and the general Impression
resulting; therefrom that the Capitol -will
not be ready for the next Legislature, the
"Governor said, very emphatically:
"Those "who incline tovthe belief that the
Capitol annex will not bo built, or that it
-will not be finished in time for the next
(session of the legislature, are very much
'mistaken. I see no reason -whatever why
the building cannot be completed -within
that time. I have examined all the sub
contracts -which have been awarded by
Contractor Goss, and am satisfied that
they bear out that idea. The contract
for the steel trusses for the domes, which
calls for completion by November 1, is
the chief item, and if that contract Is
completed, and there is no reason why it
should not be tho rest of the work will
be easy. The public is needlessly alarmed.
The people o& Olympla may rest assured
that the Capitol Is going to be built."
And now Contractor Goss is out with
a statement in line with the foregoing.
Notwithstanding his superintendent is re
sponsible for the information as to shut
ting down wwrk indefinitely, Mr. Goss says
matters are all right. However, the con
struction company has been having so
many troubles, and work has proceeded
so slowly, rthere are few people who be
lieve the apparently optimistic reports
given out So the effect that the building
will bo completed, or even the legislative
hails finished by the time the legislature
mce-ts.
Scttbey Receives His Commission.
J. O'B. Srobey has received his commis
sion as receiver of the Olympla Land
Office, to tsvhlch position .he was reap
pointed some weeks ago. There was con
siderable ol' a fight against Mr. Scobey's
reappoi ntmimt on the part of local Repub
licans, but he seems to have been the
gainer t-benby. His commission is dated
March 5, 1&)2, and is for four years. His
term expired on June 17, 1901, so that he
has reallj trsained a year of extra-official
service.
State Is fcnes $00,000 School Bonds.
Governor .McRride and State Auditor At
kinson todt y Issued 12 bonds of $5000 each
against the .permanent school fund, -under
the law providing for the investment of
the permanent school fund, for the pay
ment of fita ie warrants. All told, there
are state bonds now Issued amounting to
$1,305,000.
E. I. SMITH TATiKS ABOUT FRUIT.
Enthusiastic Electing: nt Tfcivljcrfr,
Where Unioui Is being: Formed.
NEWBERG, April 15. The Newberg
Small Fruit Association is being organ
ized here, and the horticulturists of
this vicinity are turning their attention
toward the raising of strawberries. They
are endeavoring fto form a union similar
to that of Hood, River, for the purpose
of making stra w berry culture a re
cognized Industr y here on a business
basis. Hon E. Xj. Smith, of Hood River,
president of the State Board of Horticul
ture, addressed the citizens here last
night on "Fruit Unions." He was ac
'cpmpanied by Horticultural Commission
ers Newell, of jOilley, and Reynolds, b
Salem.
In the course f his paper Mr. Smith
reviewed the conditions of general busi
ness co-operation, and decried the fact
that of all industrial classes the farmer
Is the least Inclined to profit by united
and organized effort. .Mr. Smith admitted
that fruit unions Jhad their weak points
.as well as their strong, such as the pos
sible incompetency of the manager or
board of control, and the disloyalty of
'some stockholders to their organization.
However, he declared that these points
'may and must be overcome, for In this
,lay the only means of success Is by co
operation. At the close of his address Mr. Smith
I conducted an open parliament, answer
ing many practical questions relative to
strawberry culture and the working of
fruit unions. He gave an interesting ac
count of the history of ttie Industry at
Hood 2tlver, and of the .evolution ol
'market which had resulted from the
organization of their union. In his opin
ion the industry can be made a great
success here, where conditions are natur
ally so favorable.
I Commissioners Reynolds and Newell
6poke briefly, the latter emphasizing the
need of careful preparation of the soil
before planting the berries, and the
thorough cultivation of the plants.
Before the meeting closed the discus
sion turned to the -apple industry. In
pwhich Mr. Smith is especially interest
ed. The Question of varieties arose.
which precipitated the old argument on
the valiio of the Ben Davis. "Mr. Smith
was very pronounced In bis opinion
against this apple, and on it being sug
gested that much money had been -made
(off them he raised a hearty laugh by
the quick retort that lots of money was
t-also made by breaking Into banks, but
he didn't want to make his money that
way. It was remarked that a good
I market was being opened in China for
.the Ben Davis, but the speaker ex
jpressed strong doubts on the proposition,
(saying that he had a better opinion of
the "heathen Chinee" than to believe he
, could be so imposed upon. .The discus
sion caused much merriment.

ing Mayor V. R. Mead removed Mr.

ent city officials. Mr. Chance was in this
city yesterday, and when asked about
the action of the Acting Mayor he said

amalgam from the plates after the ore
had passed through the mill. He has

WALLA "WALLA'S WATER SUPPLY.
Hon City Made Biff Improvement in
the System.
WALLA WALLA, Wjash., April 15.
How to increase the water supply of
Walla Walla Is a question that the old
water company studied, and its suc
cessors, the City Councll.'are solving. The
old company bought from Alfred Thomas
the right to take the water of springs on
hl3 place and convey it over his premises,
paying him $10,000 therefor. This right was
transferred to the city with the rest of
the property of the company. This land
Is situated about four miles easterly of
the city. During the Winter and Spring
the city has hod a force of men at work
developing the springs. A large delega
tion of citizens yesterday accepted the
invitation of Mayor Babcock and the Coun
cil and visited the work. They found that
about a mile of deep trenches had been
drug on bedrock from the main spring
and other wet places and the water turned
Into eight-Inch tcrra-cotta pipes, three
of which, being connected, empty into a
15-lnch terra-cotta pipe, through which the
water flows several hundred feet Into an
open ditch. At the discharge end of the
15-lnch pipe the water fills it .fully three
fourths full, and it flows with much ve
locity. The superintendent In charge of
the development declared "the flow
amounts to 3,000,000 gallons every 24
houre." Another large spring included in
the original purchase, which will give a
flow nearly as great, is ta be connected
to the reservoir, thus giving a dally sup
ply of between 5,000,000 and 6,000,000 gallons.
From the site of the proposed reservoir to
the city there Is a fall of about 200 feet,
which will give a pressure great enough
for a very forcible gravity system, and
add the water to the existing system,
which must be provided to meet the rapid
growth of Walla Walla. .
The gendral opinion of the visitors today
Is that good work has been done, and it
should be prosecuted to completion. A
proposition to bond the city for money to
complete the proposed gravity system of
water works will be submitted to the peo
ple In the near future. '
OUT FROM THUXDER MOUXTAIX.
Miner Says the Camp Is Much Richer
Than Reported.
WEISER, Idaho. April 15. Pat Rasche,
a miner who has been at Thunder Moun
tain since November, arrived this after
noon, bringing glowing accounts of the
richness of the new Eldorado. He says
that half of the richness of the camp
has never been told, and that no man
would believe it unless he saw it him
self. The Dewey Mm has been closed
down for some time, because men will
not work there when they can make four
or flvevtlmes as much per day at locat
ing claims. Mr. Rasche has two or three
ounces of coarse gold that he panned out
far up on the hillsides. He eaysitherc Is
much good placer ground there that will
be worked this summer. Mr. Rasche has
come out at the request of his partners,
who have a deal on hand for some of
their properties. He is an experienced
miner, and has mined in many states,
but has never seen ,such a showing as is
at Thunder Mountain. He says many are
on the trail going in. He was five days
coming from thev camp tp Council.
Mr. Rasche tells a remarkable story of
a cold find on the summit of Rainbow
Mountain. On top of the mountain Mr.
Rasche, while prospecting, found a small
crevice. The enow, had melted, and the
ground was bare. The crevice contained
13 pans of dirt,' which Mr. Rasche hauled
down to the creek on his toboggan and
washed. The dirt averaged a little over
$1 50 per pan In coarse gold. He brought
tho sold out with him, and also a round
boulder weighing about 10 pounds which
shows gold aUb through It. The boulder
came from thp summit of Rainbow Moun
tain, near the place where he found the
gold.
BRIGHT OUTLOOIC FOR PRUNES.
Clark County Expects as Large a
Crop as Last Year.
VANCOUVER. Wash., April 15. Present
indications are that the big prune crop of
last year In Clark County will be repeated
or even surpassed this season. The trees
came through the Winter in good condi
tion, the work of pruning and spraying
the orchards is all done, and the trees
are now budding out in fine shape. The
cold, backward weather of the past month
has been. In the opinion of well-Informed
frultmen, a good thing for the orchards,
as it has kept the buds from advancing
prematurely. The searon is now suffi
ciently advanced to reduce the danger
from frost to the minimum, and practi
cally the only thing feared by frultmen
is the possibility of a continued cold rain
during the season when the fruit Is polen

CHINESE THREATEN VIOLENCE.
Steamship Ordered to Deport Geles
tlals Detained in California.
WASHINGTON, April 15. The Treasury
Department has received from the Col
lector of Customs at San Francisco a
telegram stating that OS Chinamen who
are detained In detention sheds on steam
ship docks at San Francisco threaten vio
lence If they are not taken back to China
by the steamship companies, or allowed
their freedom. Several Chinamen who
were detained have managed to escape,
and the case Is giving the Treasury De
partment some troubl?. In answer to the
report of the Collector, Assistant Secre
tary Taylor today wired him to make a
written demand on the steamship com
panies for the deportation of the detained
Chinamen, and to further notify the com
panies that the Treasury Department will
prosecute them for any Chinamen who
have escaped. The Chinamen who are de
tained In the sheds have been held there
from three to nine months uwaltlng de
portation, and the steamship companies
have done nothing to send them away.
They came to San Francisco ostensibly
for transit to Mexico but the Immigra
tion officers had reason to doubt the good
faith of their statements anent tneir oes
tinatlon, which was believed" to be this
country, and the Chinamen were prevent
ed from landing and ordered to be de
ported. The steamship companies have a
case pending In the Supreme Court which
they believe may settle the right of the
Treasury to require them to deport China
men, and that Is one reason they are hold
ing the Chinamen.

If you are a suffering woman we would
say to you that "Wine of Cardui seldom
fails to completely cure any case of f emala
ills. We say emphatically, it never fails
to benefit. Over 1,000,000 women have
been cured by Wine of Cardui. Everyday
hundreds of sufferers are writing to our
Ladies' Advisory Department. The letters
are opened, by persons competent to give
advice. Mrs. Jones was cured by follow
ing the advice which wa3 freely given her
by tho Ladies' Advisory Department. Miss
Owens and Miss Daulton were cured with
out advice by just buying a 1.00 bottle of
Wine of Cardui from their druggists and
taking this great medicine in the privacy
of their homes. No doctor's examination,
treatment or advice is necessary. You
havo read what these three cured women
have written. Is this not enough to lead
you to determine to be rid of suffering?
Why don't you take Wine of.
Cardui and be a well
woman?
