WHATCOM. Wash... Oct 8. Rivalry be
tween local bakeshops would have resulted
in a wholesale killing of Innocent people,
had It not been that the "bakers who at
tempted to Injure their enemy overdid
the thing.
John BIrk and James Henry conduct
rlVAl bakeshops on "West Holly street, in
this city, and bitter feeling exists be
tween them. Some time since flour con
signed to James Henry came with a ship
ment of John Blrk's goods. BIrk, so- It Is
charged. Instructed his baker, William
Burnwent to put a quantity of concen
trated lye in Henry's flour. This order
Burnwent is alleged to have followed in
mixing the flour.
Henry's Baker tasted of it and burned
his tongue severely. After the bread into
which it went was baked, Henry's baker
had it analyzed and this analysis is said
to have shown the presence of enough
concentrated lye to kill every person who
ate an ordinary meal of it.
Burnwent found out that the presence
of the lye in the flour had been discov
ered, and skipped out before the Sheriff
could arrest him. Today he came back
and this afternoon both he and Birk were
arrested and jailed.

MAY XOT MARRY IX CALIFORNIA.
Los Ancelcs Couple Headed for Ore.
Bon to Join Hands.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 8. (Speclal.)
Although they deny they contemplate mat
rimony, their friends are certain that
Miss Grace Fleming and Arthur Van
Curen are figuring In an elopement. Both
are in this city from Southern California
where they are prominent socially. Their
plan, according to their friends, , Is to
proceed to Klondike, stopping in Oregon
to be married. .
Van Curen arrived here from Ventura
last Tuesday night and is at the Russ.
Miss Fleming registered at the Palace
from Ventura at noon yesterday.
Van Curen Is said to be very well con
nected in the South and reports from
there are to the Effect that he has a good
bank account, which he is going to try and
double several times over in the far
North.
Miss Fleming has a tale of woe. Up
to last Saturday she was known as Mrs.
Grace -Luddy, having married two years
ago a property-owner of Los Angeles by
that name. She says she was granted a
divorce in Los Angeles on last Saturday
on the ground of desertion and with the
permission to use her maiden name of
Fleming. Luddy insists that they were
never married and also wants her to re
turn some ?3000 worth of his diamond,
It was while at a Summer resort that
Miss Fleming met Van Curen. She real
izes that she cannot get married in this
state again for a year. That is why she
is here with van Curen on the way to
get married in Oregon.
Van Curen appears devoted to -the dash
ing, talkative blonde, who is a head
taller than himself and whose stylish
dress contrasts with his apparent Indif
ference in that direction. He will not ad
mit that Miss Fleming is other than a
friend to whose relief he had come in
her distress. ,

the samples of milk and butter from the
ranches near by. The culinary depart
ment is a real bower of goodies, making
it necessary to bar the entrance to this
section of bread, pies, cakes, jellies and
jams. The fancy work department Is ar
ranged in a unique manner, a black wall
set In fenco row with an immense blue
butterfly with wings fixed on wires to
open and close In each angle, .while the
little dollies and kerchiefs adorn Its three-
foot wings. The floral display, a Japanese
pagoda, looms up In the center of the

RICH BOHEMIA LEDGE.
Shows ThouHnnds of Tons of Quarts
Carrying $7.
EUGENE, Or.. Oct 8. (Special.) Infor
mation has been received at the office of
the North Falrvlew Mining Company, in
this city, of a very rich strike that has
been made In the Belle of Falrvlew claim,
in the Bohemia district, showing probably
the largest deposit of free-milling ore ever
struck in this section.
Tunnels and shafts already made block
out over 100,000 tons of oxidized decom
posed quartz, carrying an average of 57
per ton In free gold. Tho ledge is a great
true fissure, and is from 18 to 40 feat wide
where it has been opened. In the different
cross tunnels tho ore shows continuous
cropplngs for 2300 feet over on the west
slope of Falrvlew Mountain, and from the
present indications there are over 1,000.000
tons of the, same quality as that already
blocked out, and the vein is 40 feet wide
at the west end of the claims, where a
tunnel on the vein will tap the ore-Body at
a vertical depth of 1200 feet.
This ore can be mined and milled for
51.50 per ton, which leaves a handsome
profit for the owners.

Thodistrict fair was better today in

Tanks Will Carry trresn wn
lumctte for Refining Plant.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct S. (Special.)
The tank steamer Whittler will brlnff a
cargo of fresh water to this port from
Portland, and It will bo probably the most
uniaue load ever brought Into this harbor
by any vessel. The Whittler is now tak
ing on a cargo of -fuel oil at Uleum lor
the Oregon port, and she will sail in a
few days with the barge Santa Paula,
also oil-laden. In tow.

steamer, when she discharges her load of
oil. will fill her tanks with fresh water
and return to this harbor. She will dis
charge the water at the oil .refining plant
at Oleum.
Fresh water at the oil refinery Is scarce
and it now costs about 1 cent a gallon
to get It at the plant. The steamer will
have to take on some water ballast in
her tanks for her return voyace from
Portland, and it Is planned to All her up
with fresh water when she Is there and
havo her deliver the water at the refining
plant on her return.
She Is capable of carryins" about 10,000

value when delivered. This is said to
