Engineers-in Doubt as" to His
Plan at The Dalles.
PORTAGERAILWAYHEETSFAVOR
Current at Cclllo Is So Strong: That
Placing of Rocks for Dam Is
Considered a Daring: En
gineering Feat
OBEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, D. C, Oct. 20. The report of the
engineer board, on its investigation of the
Harts plan for opening the Columbia
River, between The-Dalles and Celllo, Is
to be delayed somewhat, pending the com
pletion of certain estimates and compu
tations, which are to be considered before
the report is agreed to. There is. doubt in
the minds of some members as to the
practicability of constructing the dam
across the river, upon which the success
of the Harts plan hinges. It Is found
that it will be a most daring engineering
feat- to get stones for the dam in posi
tion, and to retain them until the whole
work is completed. It is a work more dlf
flcult than any of Ihe kind yet undertaken
'""by the engineers, although Its success is
; promised by some. The probabilities are
'that there will be two reports, some of
the engineers favoring a portage road as
the best solution, unless another and more
favorable site can be found for the dam.
'The boat-railway project was considered,
but it is not thought any member of the
Aboard believes in its efficiency or prac
ticability. The dam concerning the feasibility of
-which doubt is expressed by the board of
engineers is thus referred to in the plan
recommended by Captain Harts.
The proposed submerged dam Immediately be
low the head of Five-Mile Rapids Is designed
to be made throughout of large blocks of rock
or concrete weighing 20 to 30 tons, each depos
ited at random in a selected narrow part of
Five-Mile Rapids by means of derricks on
either shore. If found necessary on account of
the swift currents, some of the blocks could bo
-anchored to the rocky banks by means of
chains. The dam need not necessarily be tight,
but should consist of enough blocks to raise
the present low-water lever 20 feet. Its top
would probably need to rise to within a few
feet of the present low-water level.
MARIAX AO LAX KILLED.
Shot by Lover in a luarrel, Who
Turn Gnn on Himself.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 20. Marian No
lan, a young woman who became famous
on the Pacific Coast in 1S93 as the Califor
nia "Venus, was shot and killed this after
noon by Edward Marschutz, who then
sent a bullet through his own brain. The
man accompanied the woman to her home
and when they reached the steps they
were quarreling. Miss Nolan ordered him
to leave her presence and he declared that
she should listen to what he purposed
saying. She thereupon struck him with
her umbrella and e drew a revolver. She
tried to escape but his aim-was too true.
After surveying his deadly work for a
moment, Marschutz turned the weapon
upon himself. The quarrel was the out
come of a love affair of long duration.
Miss Nolan attained Western fame Just
prior to the Chicago World's Fair, when
she jvon a beauty contest to determine
the most perfectly formed woman In Cal
ifornia, and a statute was modeled ac
cording to her figure. She later appeared
on the stage In small parts. Marschutz
was a stenographer.

CHOICE HOPS 25 CENTS
SALEM MARKET OPEXED AT THIS
FIGURE YESTERDAY.
-J
Many Sales Xow Looked For Xeeds
of England Will Help Decide
the Ruling Price.
V
SALEM, Or.. Oct 20. (Special.) The Ore
gon hop market opens this week with 25
cents quoted for choice hops. Not all the
dealers are offering that price, but the
sales made last week show that there is
a demand for Oregons at that figure.
About 250 bales of Chehalls hops, 500 bales
of Yaklmas and 750 bales In Polk and
Marlon Counties have changed hands at
25 cents. In California no choice hops
have been put upon the market at less
than 25 cents, and In Washington 24 to 25
cents has been asked for practically all
choice goods. The quotation of Coast hops
In New York at 30 cents for choice makes
the price here 25 -cents easily, for the dif
ference by reason of freight and other
handling expenses Is only 4 cents.
England Xot Yet in American Market

for a further advance, though speculators
may continue to bid up. That England
will come Into the market Is generally
agreed, but the question of when is some
thing upon which no one will venture an
opinion. The London dealers have been
assured that the present prices cannot be
sustained, and they may wait some time
before placing their orders, in the hope
that the promises will he fnifliioii Amor-
lean samples have just reached the Lon-
aon market, and orders may be expected
any day, though they may not come for a
month.
When T. A. Llveslay returned from a
visit to England last year he said that one
thing he learned on hlo trln wns thnt-
American hops have an established market
In that country. American hops Impart a
particular Jiavor to beer, and there Is a
demand for beer of that flavor to supply
a certain trade. This, Mr. Llv.cslay found,
makes a market for from 40.000 to n0.oon
bales of American hops In England, almost
regaraicss or price.
It Is well known among Salem dealers
and growers that the English buyers al
ways get the hops they have orders for,
even If they must pay or even 1 cent
more than other dealers offer. They never
bUV anVthlntr hilt rhnlr rnnia fnr ornApt
but when they want the hops they get
mem. it is the fact of the established
market and the active part the 'English
buyers take when thev once nter thf
market that gives Interest to the arrival
or London orders.
Demand for German Hops.
While there Is a permanent demand In
England for American hops, there Is also
a permanent demand here for German
hops for the purpose of securing a par
ticular flavor. Hops are for that reason
Imported here, although a duty of 12 cents
a pound must be paid. The importations
amount to from 10,000 to 12,000 American
bales annually, and will probably reach
that amount this year.
T3ffect of Coal-Strike Settlement.
There were two events of the past week
that will tend to help the hop "market,
as they have all other marketa 'These
events are the settlement of the coal
strlko and the loosening of the money
market While the passing of the crisis
In a great Industrial war and a serious
financial situation may not advance prices
for hops above 25 cents, It will tend to
make buying more free. As has been
many times stated, the buying thus far
has been carried on largely by dealers for
speculative purposes. There are firms of
hopdealers who ' have $1,000,000 tied tip in
hops. The dealers sell to brewers on three
to six months' credit, while they pay tho
grower cash before the hops are put
aboard the cars. It lg apparent that it
takes a big lot of money to handle hops
when they are $50 a bale, and many dealers
depend upon assistance from the banks.
While the stringency In the money mar
ket prevailed during the last 20 days,
speculation of all kinds subsided and hop
dealers were cautious with the rest Now
that money is easier, dealers can get
more assistance from the banks, and
they can buy more freely if they wish.
The settling of the coal strike will have
a similar effect. The high price 6f coal
is said to have caused brewers to cease
brewing, except .for immediate needs. It
has been argued by some that the strike
caused a reduction in the amount of beer
consumed, "it Is the general rule that
an Idle man will drink more beer than
a busy man, especially during the ex
citing times of a strike. Beer drinkers
will usually wear old clothes and econ
omize on food before they will cut down
their drink bills. But If it be admitted
that the strlko diminished beer consump
tion the end of the strike should mark
the beginning of a better trade In the
foaming beverage. Although- some have
predicted that the quantity of beer
brewed this year will not reach more than
3S.000.000 barrels, the Government figures
show that we have already passed that
amount and the total should reach 45,000,
000 barrels against 42.000.000 in 1901.
Much Depends on English Demands.
It has been said that English brewers
will not enter the American market for
will not enter the American market for
stocked with American hops. If it he
true that English brewers are over
stocked the question arises why they
bought American hops at ISO shillings
per hundredweight In September, when
they could have bought them at 70 shill
ings last December? An advance of 100
per cent does not 6ccur unless the buy
ers want the good3. Last year England
had a home crop of 660,000 hundred
weight and then Imported 50,000 bales
from America. This year she has only
300.C00 hundredweight In her homo crop,
and why at least 50,000 bales should not
be Imported from this country this sea
son does not appear.
Still, with the statistical situation en
tirely In rfavor of further advances, there
Is a possibility that not over 25 cents
will be paid to growers for some time
yet. Should growers let go freely enough
at 25 cents to supply the demand then
Is no reason why there should be ar
advance as long as the supply lasts
Rushing hops on the market might cause
a slight decline. Had the financial strin
gency continued until some of the large
dealers were compelled to let go there
would most certainly have been a back
ward movement When asked fast Sat
urday how long or for what price he
would advise growers to hold, Manager
WInstanley, of the Hop Growers' Aeso
clation, replied that he would not give
advice of that kind. Each grower must
study the situation and decide for him
self. Mr. WInstanley said he docs not
believe now Is the time to sell, and he
Intends to hold his own crop until Christ
mas. Up to the present time there has been
no need foi anyone to advise growers to
stand firm, .for there has not been a
time when they showed any disposition
to push their hops upon the market. A
grower on, the streets with hop samples
under his arms Is seldom seen. The
fact that growers have been firm has
caused a slow sale, and there has been
no danger of a sudden rush and a glut
It has been expected thatnops would
move quite freely at 25 cents and many
sales are now looked for.

GRAND FORKS, B. C, Oct 20.-(Spe-clal.)
John A. Mtonley, formerly Mayor
of- Grand Forks and one of Its best
known and most prominent citizens and
chief engineer of the Kettle Valley lines,
was arrested today on a charge of com
plicity In the burning of the Escalct
Hotel at Columbia, B. C, about three
years ago. Mr. Manley was at his home
when, the arrest was made and quietly
submitted to the Provincial police. Later
In the day he was released on $15,000 ball.
Few men In Eastern British Columbia
are so well knownas Manley. He served
the city as MayorHhrough a turbulent
time when both the Kettle Valley lines
and the Washington and Great Northern
were fighting for an entrance to Re
public Camp, Wash. Manley was chief
engineer and one of the leading pro
moters of the Kettle Valley lines, which
succeeded In reaching Republic with steel
first Manley has a home and various
business Interests at Grand Forks.
Three years ago Manley was proprietor
of the Yale Hotel at Grand Forks, and
at that time Columbia, B. C, was a
booming rival adjoining town. The Es
calet Hotel at Columbia divided patron
age with the Manley house, and one night
the Escalct Hotel was burned to the
ground. The finding of inflammable ma
terial at the tlmo of the blaze gave the
clew to Incendiary origin.
Two men were sent to prison for the
crime. Manley came to the American
side, where he remained until the trial
was over. No direct charge had been
made against him, though he was sus
pected by detectives. Private detectives
finally gave up the matter and the Pro
vincial police took It up. They have been
quietly working on the case, and when

TO HAVE STREET RAILWAY.
Baker City Man Granted Franohise
" for an Electric Line:
BAKER CITY, Oct. 20. (Special.) E
L. Palmer, who has a franchise for an
electric street railroad In this city, has
Just returned from the East. He was
one of the Oregon representatives to the
Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows
at Dos Moines. After attending to tho
business of the order Mr. Palmer contin
ued his Journey to New York and other
Eastern cities. While in New York he
arranged to finance the railroad proposi
tion. He says he experienced no diffi
culty In securing offers of money with
which to build the road. The present In
tention Is to begin construction next
Spring and have the road finished by the
time the Eagle Creek electric power plant
Is finished. There will be ample power
for this road when the Eagle Creek plant
Is in operation, but at the present time
there Is not sufficient electric power
available for the railroad, else construc
tion work would begin at once.
$2,000,000 Mining Transaction.
A deed was filed with the County Re
corded of Grant County last week by
which D. L. Evans, John W. Larkln and
L. P. Hole convey the Cougar Mine, to
gether with the Wildcat, Tomboy and
Modoc claims, to the Cougar Gold Mining
Company. The consideration named In
the deed Is $1,909,500. Part of this amount
is represented by stock In the company.
Tlje Cougar Is one of the promising prop
erties of this district. The new owners
will press development work as fast as
possible -from now on.
Work on Electric Power Plant.
The work of constructing the Eagle
Creek electric power plant Is now well
under way. The contractor vttio has the
contract for furnishing the lumber has
his mill going and the site of the dam
and power-house already resembles a
metropolitan lumber-yard. The Intention
Is to have this plant ready for operating
before the close of the coming year.
A. B. Frame, the promoter of this enter
prise, has a franchise for a light and
power plant In this city, and In addition
he has contracts for furnishing light and
power to Baker City residents that will
amount to $2000 per month.
Plumbers Enter City Politics.
The plumbers of this city have a
grievance against the present city admin
istration, especially the Water Depart
ment They charge that the Superin
tendent of the waterworks and his as
sistant d!scrlminate against the plumb
ers and prevent them from doing any of
the city plumbing by allowing unskilled
employes of the Water Department to
make the connections with the water
mains. The plumbers propose, if pos
sible, to regulate and dispense with thl3
discrimination by asserting their rights
at the polls. To this end they have nom
inated plumbers for the City Council In
most of the city wards, and at tho com
ing city election they will, If they can,
elect'thelr men to office and then their
troubles wll! be over, so they claim.
Sober, conservative citizens, who have
considered the matter, arc inclined to
the opinion that there would be more
trouble over the city plumbing, with a
Council composed of plumbers, than the
past history of the city has recorded,
especially if a number of rival plumbing
firms should secure representation in the
Council.

Secretary Shaw Biscusnen Democratic
Campaign Methods.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Oct. 20. Leslie
M. Shaw, Secretary of the Treasury.ad
dressed a large and enthusiastic gathering
at Tomllnson Hall here tonight. He said
in part:
"Both parties complain this year of
great lethargy and apathy on the part of
the people. The reason Is simple. There
Is no great Issue between the parties.
Tho Rcpublican party presents Its time
honored, time-tested principles of sbund
money and stable currency; in other
words, good; reliable business tools and
equipments, implements of trade, and Its
equally time-honored and time-tested
principle of protection to American labor,
and a conservative, stable, liberal policy
toward the people Inhabiting our insular
possessions. Our political opponents pre
sent nothing In opposition. j
"The only criticism I have to offer to
night of our political opponents Is this:
They seem to bo more anxious to discov
er an issue on which they may win a
campaign than they have to formulate a
policy for wise government, after they
fiave won their campaign. It is due an In
telligent pccpie mat mere snail be pre
sented for their consideration at the poll3
affirmative principles, progressive policies,
progressive, measures. I regret the Issue
is not between the personnel of office
holders, but between a party with a
plank, a purpose, an aim, a hope and a
party that has nothing to propose; no
Issue to present and no one leader In
whom ,more than 33 1-3 per cent of their
adherents have any confidence whatso
ever." Special Consideration of Rebate.
PITTSBURG. Oct. 20. The special con
vention of the Amalgamated Association
of Iron, Steel and Tin Plate Workers,
called by President T. J. Shaffer to con
sider the rebate proposition of the Amer
ican Tin Plate Company, opened in this
city today. A vote on the proposition
may bo reached tomorrow.

PORTLAND'S CHANCE.
(Continued from First Page.)
County. And these three lakes alone have
a shore line of at least 200 miles. Thpre
Is on each of them aHittlc wheezing steam
boat which runs up and down occasionally
but to no great purpose, since the lines
of local transportation are established
across country, and since, under existing
conditions, nothing in the way of traffic
originates at the lake shores. But under
more developed conditions, the lakes would
serve as Important feeders to a railroad
system, and would aid prodigiously In the
distribution of merchandise brought to sta
tions on the lake chores. The existence
of these lakes very much simplifies the
problem of "covering" the country In the
matter of transportation, for each of mm
Is capable of a service precisely similar
to that rendered by the Lower Willamette
Slough in its relation to transportation
systems at Portland.
Here as in most situations there are
some who disclaim against progress, de
claring that the country is better off with
out railroads; and In proof of this notion
they point out that wages are higher
than in the Willamette region, that plenty
abounds, and that there Is no local dis
tress. A railroad, they say, would throw
the freighters a very considerable class
out of business, -and In every way "re
duce the country to the general competi
tive level." Of course, those who take
this narrow view are entirely oblivious
of the larger elements of the situation.
They do not see that the condition which
holds the country "above the level of gen
eral competition" puts a tax, and a very
severe one, upon every householder, and
that it puts limitations upon local life at
every point They do not see that the
country is prevented from engaging In any
Industry which depends upon transporta
tion, or that the income from the pres
ent Industry is cut down at least one
third by the hard conditions under which
the beef product Is marketed.
The practice of the country in
this last respect is to "turn oft"
turn off being the local phrase
for sell stock In the Fall, at a time when
offerings are everywhere large, and when
the advantage Is with the buyer. During
the long Winter, when prices are highest,
the Klamath cattleman is out of the mar
ket, for the reason that there is no wav
by which he can get his steers to the
railroad He. loses the advantage which
might be his If he could choose his time
to sell, and he. loses the profit of prepar
ing his steers for slaughter. And, since
the method' of sale is upon tho baste of
gross weight at the railroad, he" Is made to
stand the loss of flesh occasioned by the
drive of from 100 to 300 miles from ranch
to shipping station. And in many in
stances this is a very great loes, since
stock which leaves the range or ranch In
good flesh oftentimes arrives at the point
where its weight is taken in a very de
pleted condition.
But the greatest loss of all as related
to the generai interests of the country is
due to separation from the general life of
the business world. Settlersdo not easily
.find their way over mountain ranges to
situations, remote' from a railroad, and
where the costs of transport and of living
are high. Capital is always shy of a re
gion which lies far outside the range of
ordinary business operations. If the
Klamath country were accessible in the
usual sense of that term, It would not to
day be pioneer country; and I am not ven
turing too far In saying that with its ex
traordinary and scarcely touched resources
its general wealth would he five times
multiplied under the advantages which a
direct railroad connection would give it

"ItiswithplcESurcI recommend Dr. Pierce's
medicine," writes Mrs. Jfora Tipton, of Cropper
(Cropper Station), Shelby Co.. Kentucky. "You
remember ray case was one of female weakness
and weak lunjrs. I had no appetite and would
oaen spit blood ; was confined to my bed almost
half of the time nnd could hardly stand on my
feet at times for the pains through my whole
body and system. My husband had to pay lame

bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery, four of ' Favorite Prescription and three
vials of ' Pleasant Pellets' we naven't paid any
inorc doctor bills. It had been seven months
since I stopped using Dr. Pierce's medicines and
I have been enjoying good health all the time.
I can never praise these medicines too highly,
for I have received so much benefit. I pray that
many vr ho suffer as I did will take Dr. Pierce'3
medicines. I am sure thev will never fail to
cure when given a fair trial. Everybody tells
me I look better than they ever saw mc. I am
sure I feel better than I ever did before."
"Favorite Prescription" has the testi
mony of thousands of women to its com

accept an unknown and unproved sub

Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are a
