LOST MAN RESCUED
Found in Cabin Where He Had
Crawled to Die.
THREE MONTHS IN DENSE WOODS

Him on Stretcher Three Miles
IVott at Home in Aberdeen.
AEBERDEEN, Wash., July 29. (Special.)
After wondering' around through dense
woods for two months, lost beyond the
hope of ever reaching human habitation
again, living on berries and roots, until
his strength had failed him, and fully re
signed to his fate, C. St George Kemp, an
architect of this city, was yesterday found
In a cabin where he had crawled to die,
by some men out cruising for timber on
the Wynoche River. Hastily improvising
B stretcher from some boughs, the men
carried tbo half-dead man into Monte
sano, soma three miles, and he was
brought on down here last night and
placed in a hospital.
When found, Kemp begged the men to
put him out of his misery, and a few more
days of the wretched life he was living
would have put out the little spark that
was left. The doctors are hopeful of sav
ing his life, although the man is in a
very precarious condition.
SUIT TO CONFISCATE.
HJority of Stock of Kettle Taller
Lines Said to Be Owned by Aliens.
SPOKANE, "Wash., July 29. County At
torney M. A. Jessup, of Ferry County,
acting on behalf of the state, started suit
at Republic today to confiscate all the
property of the Kettle Valley lines In this
state, on the charge that a majority of
the stock Is owned by aliens. There Is
about 40 miles of the road in Washing
ton, and, with equipment, It has cost
nearly $750,000. The money was put up by
Eastern Canadians, and the only American
actually in the deal was W. C. Morris, a
lawyer of Republic. Ho claims a sixth
Interest in the road, and Is now suing to
recover his stock. In his complaint ho
alleges that he has held practically one
third of the stock In trust. In addition to
his one-sixth. Three other Americans are
holders of a share each, so that a major
ity of the stock Is nominally held by
Americans, and four out of seven trus
tees are citizens of this country. -Morris,
however, alleges that, except for his one
Blith interest, the ownership of all the
other stock apparently held by Americans
is merely a subterfuge to evade the con
stitution of the state. It is the first caso
of the kind ever brought here. There are
various corporations in this country,
among them the Northport Smelting &
Refining Company, in which pratlcally all
of the stock Is owned by allena If the
state wins and confiscates the Kettle Val
ley roads, it would apparently pave the
way to confiscation of the Northport
smelter under the same Jaw.
TO STUDY JAPAN CUHREXT.
Complete aiarlne Laboratory Will Bo
Established at San Pedro.
BERKELEY. Cal., July 29. Professor
William E. Rltter, head of the department
of zoology at the University of California,
is the prime mover In an undertaking
which promises to be of great scientific
and economic value to the Pacific Coast,
namely, the systematic observation of the
flow of the Japan current and the study
of biological conditions of that great
stream. The San Pedro and Santa Bar
bara Channels will also be surveyed. The
enterprise has the backing of President
Harriman, of the Southern Pacific Com-
pany, the United States Fish Commission,
and a number of wealthy men of Los An
geles. The planB, as they are now matured,
contemplate the establishment of a com
plete marine laboratory and museum at
San Pedro, to be a department of the Uni
versity of California, and open to all ad
vanced students of biology. With this as
a permanent basis of operations, expedi
tions both along the coast and farther Into
the mid-Pacific will be made on vessels
especially equipped for marine work of a
scientific nature.
The United States Fish Commission has
given strong assurances that the Albatross
will be put at the service of the scientists
for the deep-sea work, and for the inves
tigations along shore a cmaller vessel is
to be provided.
MORE FISHERMEN DROWNED.

son, who fell out of his boat and was
drowned in the Fraser River near Stev

Thomas Crankshaw, supposed to have
been1 drowned a week ago near the mouth
of, the Fraser, arrived here today. As
cording to their story, they were wrecked
In the gulf on a rocky Islet They re
mained there In the hope .of being picked
"up by a passing ship, subsisting for five
days on clams and drinking from little
pools of rain water formed on the rocks.
Finally, in desperation, they constructed
a raft from the remains of their boat and
eventuallv drifts tn r;aiT-trio Tdo
There settlers took care 'of them and sent
hem to Nanalmo, where they took a
steamer for this city.

ALASKAN COAL FIELDS.
Official Report on What Has Been
Done to Develop Deposits.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, July 29. Brief mention is made of
the coal production of Alaska in the forth
coming volume on "Mineral Resources of
the United States," that Is being prepared
by the Geological Survey. The following
Is an extract:
"As early as 1852 attempts were made by
the Russian-American Company to open
coal mines at Port Graham, on the west
ern side of Kenal Peninsula. The Rus
sians soon abandoned the enterprise, but
the operations induced an American com
pany to develop other mines at Port Chat
ham. This enterprise, so far as known,
lasted for about 10 years, but with the de
velopment of the better and more eco
nomically worked deposits in British Co
lumbia and the Stato of Washington these
operations became unprofitable and were
abandoned. In 1SGS, a small amount of
coal was mined by Commander Mitchell,
of the United States Navy, from Kootzna
hoo Inlet, Admiralty Island. In the same"
year Captain J. W. Wood, of the United
States revenue cutter Wayanda, reported
coal near Point Gardner, on Admiralty
Island An attempt to mine this coal,
which was made some years afterward,
was unsuccesbfuL In fact, from this time
until the close of 1601 spasmodic attempts
have been made to mine coal in this ter
ritory, but they have so far not been of
long duration.
"In 1SS8, tho Alaska Coal Company be
gan mining at Kachemak Bay, and this
company, together with the Northern Pa
cific Mining & Transportation Company,,
continued to mine coal In. this vicinity"
for several years. Smce 1899 the Cook In
let Coal Fields Company has had control
of the field, and is now the only concern
doing any actual mining in the territory.
In 1893 an attempt was made to mine at
Chignig River, and operations have since
been Intermittently carried on by the
Alaska Packers' Association. Some de
velopment work has been done by the Ad
miralty Coal & Fuel Company in the
southeastern part of -the territory. The
Alaska Mining & Development Company
was organized in 18S9 to develop coal mines
at Herendeen Bay, on the western side of
the Alaskan peninsula, but -the Alaska
Commercial Company, which afterward
obtained control, does not seem to have
made a success of the enterprise. A num
ber of other attempts have been made to
mine coal in Alaska, the chief market for
which was with the steamers plying along
the coast, and in the river traffic of the
territory-
"The principal development work done
in 1901 was by the Cook Inlet Coal Fields
Company a Homer, but the coal product
was obtained only In the way of develop
ment, and Is not separately reported."
TRADING IN SAMOA.
Merchants Are in No Hurry to Traffic
With Customers.
XJpplncott's.
Two youngsters in dirty lavalavas come
and sit on the veranda, waiting until the
trader finishes his breakfast They keep
up a constant chatter, as children do the
world around; they explain to one another
out.of their ignorance what the white man
docs with all the etrange gear about his
room. Time Is no object to jthem; not for
any Samoan does time exist They could
be content thus waiting for hours. When
tho trader has finished his corned beef or
his salmon, when he has chopped the navy
plug on the corner of the table and has
broken It fine for his pipe by grinding it
in his left palm with the ball of his right
thumb, when his pipe Is alight, he is
willing to traffic with his small customers.
Take this as a sample of native speech
and native custom:
"What Is It, then, that you two want?"
he asks in the native speech, "that you sit
on my portico, beginning at sunrise and
ending at all day?"
"Oh, Apa, it Is thus, and we two will
declare the truth to thy highness."
"Use not the high-sounding words of
the talk of chiefs: call me not excellency,
nor yet highness", for "fcy that I know you
two are come to beg. That thing do you
two tell what you want and quickly."
"Oh, Apa, smooth out the wrinkles from
thy heart, but listen. In the insignificant
hut of the family of us two there 1b to
bacco, and we have plucked the dry leaves
6f the banana. But there Is no fire. That
thing have we two come to ask of thy
excellency; afford to us two the flre
scratcher, just one box, for great Is the
poverty of the family of us two."
"Oh, pig-faced. It is the lie, and you two
come to beg, It Is true. It Is right that
you two buy flre-scratchers; I do not give
away the articles of wealth, lest I, too,
become poor and you two have all things."
"Thou khowest, oh, Apa, the great pov
erty of all this Samoa, and that we two
ore poor people and of no account We
have not wherewith to buy. But, because
great is the love of us two for thy ex
cellency, we two give to thee the loving
Rift of the fruit of the hen. one."
"Not -so, It Is true, dirt and pigs. If you
two love me, you give the fruit of the
hen, two. Give them now to me and my
black boy think shall look through them
at the sun, and he shall epln them in water
lest they are bad."
"Oh, Apa, thou art wise to drive a hard
bargain, and Samoans are foolish. Here,
then, are these two fruits of the hen; now
give to us two the box of flre-scratchera"
Fatal Temperatures.
London Telegraph.
" At what point does life begin? So far
as regards space of time, tho question Js
unanswerable. Only a few years ago It
would have been said that In regard to
that seemingly essential condition of life
temperature we did know pretty nearly
a superior and Inferior limit little of
life Is there below the freezing point or
above the boiling point of water, and far
above or below these critical points we
should expect even germ life to be de
stroyed. When our greatest physicist In
1871 suggested that seeds of plants might
have been borne to this world In a far
distant age, the hypothesis seemed Incred
ible, because the temperature of space,
being at least as low as minus 140 de
grees centigrade, would be fatal to life
In any form. This is not eo: Recently
at the Jenner Institute bacteria have been
frozen in liquid air and even In liquid hy
drogen, and on the application of heat
and placed In proper media have germi
nated. The processes of life were ar
rested, but the nascent life energy was
not destroyed at 200 degrees centigrade,
say, 360 degrees Fahrenheit of frost Ex
periments are now being made to find
whether long continuance for months or
years in such cold takes away the vital
ism of these lowest forms of life.

STATEAPPEALSDAVISCASE
"WILL TRY TO COLLECT BOND OF
DEFAULTING CLERK.
Circuit Court Judge Holds Statute of
Limitations Has Run Against
the Crime.
SALEM, July 23. (Special.) Attorney
General Blackburn has taken an appeal to
the Supreme Court In the case of the
State against ex-Clerk of the School Land
Board George W. Davis and his bonds
men, E. P. McCornack and George G.
Bingham. Davis disappeared when a Leg
islative committee reported him a default
er. After the trial in the Circuit Court,
Judge Burnett found that Davis was
short In his accounts, and that the bond
was executed, as alleged, for the sum of
$5000, but for the reason that the cause of
action was one' arising under a statute
and had not been commenced within six
years, he held that the state could not re
cover. The Attorney-General alleges that
the court erred In the findings against
the state.
WHEAT HARVEST IS BEGUN.
Umatilla's Crop Greatlr Reduced as
Result of Wind Storm.
WESTON, Or.. July 29. (Special.)
Harvest operations have just begun in
this vicinity, A singular difference is
noted In the yield from practically the
same ground. One farmer. Porter
Graham, north of town. Is getting 45
to 50 bushels per acre, while a mile away
the average from a neighbor's field
scarcely reaches 15 bushels. In tho latter
case a loss of more than 15 bushels was
caused by the wind storm two weeks ago,
which seems to have scattered the grain
in some fields and left others practically
uninjured. Much heavy wheat is
'lodged" and Is being cut with great
difficulty with binders. Those who.havo
studied the situation believe that Uma
tilla County's crop has been reduced
fully 1,000.000 bushels by the wind.
Fires in Grain' Fields.
Many small grain fires have been
started by locomotive sparks along the
O. R. & N. Co.'s line. Ten acr9s of
wheat at Ambrose Winn's place on Day
Creek were destroyed and great devas
tation narrowly averted. Harvest crews
united In fighting the flames, and rein
forcements were hastily summoned from
Milton, until at one time 100 men were
at work to prevent the fire from spread
ing. J. H. Coffman lost five acres of
wheat In a similar manner, and only a
favorable shifting of the wind prevented
wholesale destruction.
Work Begun on City Fountain.
Work was begun today on the concrete
basin for Weston's new city fountain,
which occupies the middle of a square
In the business center of town. Itv will
be fed from a large and never-falling
spring . of pure, cold water, carried In
pipes for a distance of 2200 feet with a

"WALLS AT MINE GAVE IN.
Number of Men Narrowly Escape
With Their Lives.
EUGENE, July 29. (SpecIaL)-One bf the
tunnels at the Lucky Boy mine. In tho
Bohemia district, caved In last Saturday,
and a number of miners narrowly escaped
with their lives. For months the miners
have been engaged In the work of "stop

day all tho miners left the tunnel and
held a consultatlbn regarding Its probable
safety. Not being satisfied, a committee
of the most experienced men entered the

rific crash. The men were thrown out of
the tunnel by the concussion, and thus es
caped without Injury.
The tunnel is now a mass of debris, and
tho loss toi the company is very heavy, al
though difficult to estimate. The com
pany has not yet decided what course to

Against Gilbert Bros.

Gatch, receiver of the defunct Gilbert
Bros.' bank, today filed a report in the

amount Js in cash and he has besides
eome assets in the form of notes and
real property. Mr. Gatch was seen today

would probably be paid. He said that
as ho could not speak from definite infor
mation he could not give an opinion. The
general opinion among those who arc
interested In the bank failure seems to
be that the assets will pay CO to 70 per
cent of the claims. Several large amounts
of the assets have gone to preferred
creditors.

ing In Justice Horgan's court today, on
the charge of stealing 53S00, which Mrs.

shed at Hubbard. The testimony was
taken this afternoon and the case was ar
gued tonight '
The case wjis stubbornly contested, and
the testimony of the state's -Aptnesses was
objected to on numerous technical grounds.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney John H.- Mc
Nary, of this city, who conducted tho
prosecution. In his cross-examination of
the witnesses and in his discussion of the
testimony Indicated as his ballot that the
witnesses for the state had been tam
pered with. Hon. L. J. Adams, of Silver
ton, and John A. Carson, of this city, ap-
rpeared for the Ramsby boys, and L. H.
McMahon represented Purdy. The Intro
duction of testimony was enlivened by
some decidedly pointed remarks that were
passed between McNary and McMahon.
Tho witnesses for tne state proved most
unwilling witnesses, and it was only with
persistency that the state's attorney ad
duced the testimony that he did. Prob
ably tho most reticent and unwilling of
the state's witnesses was Miss Maggie
Coleman, who, until .a few months ago,
kept company with Clyde Ramsby, one of
the accused young men. At the time of
the arrest of the lads the Deputy District
Attorney obtained an affidavit from the
young woman concerning a confession
Clyde Ramsby had made to her regarding
the theft When placed on the witness
stand today the witness declared that she
could not remember anything of the con
versation had with her former lover. Mc
Nary produced the sworn statement which
served In a measure to revive the memory
of the witness, who still remained decid
edly uncommunicative. In answer to a
direct question from the state's attorney,
the witness admitted that she sympa
thized with the accused young men, and
that she had made up her mind not to say
anything more at the examination than
she had to.

HIS OWN GRANDFATHER.
Jnst How He Became So Is Not Qnito

New Orleans Times-Democrat-"I
know of at least one curious case of
curious Intermarriage, where a young
man Decame his own grandfather." said
a man who Is fond of the novel In life,
"and it is rather a simple thing when
you come to think of It- Father and son
were living together in a remote sectioa
of Arkansas. The old man was a widow
er. Not far from where they lived was
a widow and her daughter. The old man
wooed and won the daughter and finally
married her. In the meantime the son
had been making soft speeches to tho
widow, and" they were married about the
same time.
"The young man thus became the father-in-law
of his own father, and yet
his father's wife was his stepmother, "but
as he was his father's son his wife be
came the stepdaughter of her own child.
In course of time the children of tho
old man and daughter became the grand
children of the widow and the son. Tho
sons and daughters of the son and tho
widow were brothers and sisters, by mar
riage, of the children thus born to the
old man and the daughter. The father's
wife was the mother-in-law of her own.

ers and sisters of her husband's son, who
was also her mother's husband, not only
mode his wife his grandmother, but

"His father, becoming his son-in-law,
his father's children, who were his- broth
ers and sisters, became also his grand
children, because they were the children
of his wife's daughter. The children of
the two marriages became doubly step
brothers and sisters, and uncles and aunts
and nephews and nieces of each other. I
never undertook to figure the thing out
any further than this, and to tell the
truth I get mixed up every time I think
&bout tho matter, and I am only certain
about one thing, and that Is that the sort
became his own grandfather in due course
of time."
