REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE.
Senators Recommend Many New
Laws as Result of Investigation.
"WASHINGTON. Jan. 12. Senator Bev-
erldge, from the committee on ter
ritories, introduced in the Senate today the
report of a subcommittee consisting of
Senators Dillingham, Burnham, Nelson
end Patterson, which visited Alaska last
Bummer uid made a thorough Investiga
tion of existing conditions, resources and
legislative needs of the territory.
A statement of receipts' and expend!
tures of the General Government since
Alaska became part of the United States
shows a profit to the Government of
nearly $1,000,000.
The report says that In 1902 the out
put of canned salmon from Alaska was
2,631,220 cases, valued at about $5,000,000,
from which the Government derived
revenue of 5105,255. The committee rec
ommends that some provision be made
tor propagating salmon in sufficient quan
tities to insuro the permanency of the
pupply. The present law requiring the
establishment of a hatchery by each com
pany and the. planting of ten red salmon
tor each red salmon caught, the report
says, cannot be enforced without great
and disproportionate expense an expense
greater than the profits of the business
will warrant, it is suggested that hatch-
cries be established by the General Gov
ernment at as many places as may be
found necessary, the greater expense to
be laid on those in the salmon industry
In proportion to the amount of the re-
Bpective product of each concern.
Tho most unfortunate of all the exist
ing faulty conditions In Alaska, the re
port says, is the poor transportation fa
cilities.
The committee calls attention to the
fact that Congress has provided a good
government for the district of Alaska, but
says substantial legislation calculated to
old the people In development of tho great
areas of gold and copper production In
the territory is needed. Outside the few
and scattered settlements called towns
most of which are only the centers of mln
ing interests, there is not to be found a
single public wagon road over which ve
hides can be drawn in Summer or "Win
ter. In that connection the committee
says:
"The development of Alaska depends
more on the improvement of transporta
tion facilities than on any other one
instrumentality. Substantially every
thing consumed by the people and every
thing required to carry on business must
be brought in from the outside. The in
activity of our Government is manifest.
It has done nothing to relieve this con
dition. The action of the Dominion gov
ernment has been a marked contrast to
the inaction of the United States.
The committee is of the opinion that
great obligation rests on the United
States to adopt a system of wagon roads
for the relief of miners in the American
territory. It says a well-constructed
wagon road should connect the waters of
the Pacific with those of the Yukon River
at Eagle. The distance Is about 400 miles.
"With this road built. Eagle, by reason of
her location, should be the distributing
point for American goods for a great por
tion of the Tfukon basin.
Changes irr Mining Laws.
The report says that so many and vary
ing are tho abuses practiced under the
mining laws that the committee made a
general investigation of complaints and
recommends amendments to the laws.
Among the Important changes asked Is
that there be required a certain amount of
assessment work on each mining claim !
staked out as a pre-requislte to the right ;
to have the claim recorded: that the as- i
boss ment work to be done on each claim
during each subsequent calendar year
shall be largely increased In amount, and
that no person shall be allowed to stake
oat or locate or hold, except by purchase,
more than one mining claim on the same
creek.
Alaska Is divided into three Judicial dis
tricts. The committee says that on ac
count of the great size of these districts
and poor transportation facilities, it is
practically impossible in some sections to
... 4,.ia a f mirth ini4i!!ti rticti-c. i.
lX,:L.nri!
tT SmmKtee says the general opinion
among all classes is that 'Alaska should
be represented by a delegate In Congress.

PUTS BLAME ON CAPTAIN.
Clallam Surlwor Says Lives Were
Sacrificed to Bail.
VICTORIA, B. C, Jan. 12. John Davisv
of Nanaimo, made a remarkable state
ment regarding a conversation with. Cap
tain Roberts by passengers who remon
strated with, him for not placing them on
the Holyoke. Davis said he believed the
passengers were kept on board the steam
er to ball, in the effort to save the prop
erty.
Davis said, when a dozsn passenger's
waited upon the Captain and asked why
he had not signaled the Holyoke for the
purpose of placing the men aboard the
steamer, the captain replied:
"I am running this part of it. When
see we are in danger, I will signal for the
tugboat to come back."
H. M. S. Grafton has returned from
cruise and reports having found the body
of Bruno Lehman, the customs officer of
the lost Clallam, off Race Rocks.
The steamer Maud, of tho British Co
lumbia Salvage Association, tonight
picked up the upper part of the wrecked
Clallam, and Is now towing it to port, be
ing expected at Esqulmalt in the early
morning. The steamer Charmer, which
arrived tonight, reported speaking the
Maude, which had the main deck, deck
houses, spars, capstan and other wreck
age In tow. An examination was made of
it, showing that it contained no bodies.
The main deck was Intact, and had ap
parently been torn right away from the
hull. One of the deckhouses, which was
intact, was broken into and hams, bacon
and other provisions found.
Purser's Passenger List Incomplete
SEATTTK, Wash., Jan. 12. Jt is now
believed that there may be several per
sons drowned In the disaster of the
steamship Clallam last Friday night and
Saturday morning of which there. Is no
account. It is shown positively that the
purser's list of passengers was not com
plete. The name of Homer H. Swaney,
of Seattle, the iron and steel manufac
turer, who went down, was not on the
list. 5waney was known to have been
aboard, for three men who knew him per
sonally have said so. Yesterday parts of
the clothing of Miss Minnie Burdock, of
Monroe, Wash., were found in one of the
drifting lifeboats. Her name was not on
the list. This leads to the belief that
there may bo othors. The list as printed
in all the papers includes only the names
as first furnished by the company. An
other instance is Miss Hattle Moore, of
Falrhaven, whose body Is among those re-
coverea.
The Alaska Steamship Company, owners
of the Clallam, Issued passes to all per
sons "whose relatives "were drowned, car
rylng them to the scene of the disaster
to aiislst In searching for tho bodies.
Rigid Inspection of Other Vessels.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 12. Captain
John Birmingham, United States Super
vising Inspector of Steam "Vessels for the
Pacific Coast, has addressed the follow
ing letter to the local inspectors at Seat
tle, with reference to the wreck of the
Clallam:
"Messrs. Whitney and Turner, United
States Local Inspectors of Steam Vessels,
Seattle, Wash. Sirs: In view of the re
cent disaster, which carried to the bottom
the steamr Clallam and drowned, as re
ported, 54 of her passengers, it behooves
you to examine very closely the condition
of all steam vessels plying in the Straits
of San Juan de"Fuca.
"From the news we get here, it appears
that the Clallam disaster was brought
about by the giving way of a deadlight,
possibly a shutter having a deadlight In
It, In her side above her main deck. Be
that as it may, her loss indicates that
none but the stanchest steam vessels
should be employed In those waters. The
public, as well as the Government, nat
urally looks to you for a searching in
vestigation In the case of the Clallam,
which it appears was only six months
old."
Clallam Investigation Monday.
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 12. The local
United States Marine Inspectors have set
Monday as the day for the beginning of
the Clallam disaster Investigation. They
have invited the British Columbia Marine
Inspectors to be present during tho inquiry-

GET OATS CONTRACT
Portland Dealers Will Fill the
Government Order.
SHIPMENT BY TRANSPORT DIX
Hay Contract May Go, to San Fran
cisco Bidders Whose Figures
Were Less on a Cheaper
Quality.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Jan. 12. The Quartermaster-
General has awarded to Portland deal
ers contracts for 4320 tons of oats for ship
ment to the Philippines on tho Dix, but
Is as yet undecided whether or not to
accept the Portland bids on hay.
The oats contract is divided as follows:
Kerr, Glfford & Co., 2000 tons; Albers
Bros.' Milling Company, 2000 tons; G. W.
Simpson, 220 tons. All the oats will be
loaded on the transport Dlx.
General Humphrey has awarded a con
tract for 3000 tons of hay to San Fran
cisco bidders, but is still being subjected
to Congressional pressure from Washing
ton and California and may not give any
of this contract to Portland. He says
the fact that San Francisco asks H less
per ton on hay than Portland, even
though the hay be of a cheaper grade,
is sufficient to Justify awarding the con
tract in that city. On the other hand,
Senator Foster was at the Department
today, asserting that the Washington hay
is far superior to that offered at Port
land. He is insisting that part of this
contract be awarded to Puget Sound bid
ders. WILLAMETTE IS RISING.
But River Men Do Not Fear a
Freshet.
A strong current of dark, muddy
water is flowing down the Willamette,
the effect of the heavy rains that have
fallen at the headwaters of the river
for several days past. While the river
is rising rapidly, no fear is felt of a
freshet that -will cause damage. It
takes more than a few days of rainfall
to cause a high stage of water, and the
prospects are that the present flood
will run out before another comes in.
At the same time, river men are watch
ing the situation closely, as this is' the
time of year when the Winter freshet
usually comes down.
The Willamette at this point yester
day registered 9 feet, a rise of 2.2 feet
in the past 24 hours. The rise has been
rapid, as it amounted to only a foot
Monday and six inches Saturday. Ac
cording to present Indications, a stage
of 10 or 11 feet will be reached here
by the last of the week. As It requires
16 feet of water to cover the lower
docks, no uneasiness is felt along tho
river front. After coming up six or
seven feet-In two days at Salem, Al
bany and Eugene, the water began fall
ing at the farthest point up stream
yesterday, which would indicate that
nothing serious in the way of a freshet
is to be feared. On the other hand,
if heavy rain should continue Tor the
resf of the -week, tho water may reach
the danger stago here.
ROUGHLY HANDLED AT SEA.
Steamer Centennial Struck by Suc
cession of Fierce Gales.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12. The steamer
Centennial has arrived from Seattle, 24
hours late, with some of the pilothouse
and the bulwarks on the port side carried
away.
The Centennial was In the terrible south
easter storm which overwhelmed the
steamer Clallam In the San Juan de Fuca
Straits last Friday, and shipped many
huge waves. But she butted through the
roaring seas, not emerging from the
southeaster until Destruction Island was
abeam.
Out of the southeaster the steamer al
most immediately ran lro a westerly gale
that kept her company as far as the Co
lumbia River. Cessation of this tre
mendous storm was scarcely noted before
another southeaster pounced upon the
Centennial and threatened to tear her to
pieces.
For 16 hours this last and most terrible
of the storms continued, and all the pas
sengers were kept below.
At the height of the storm a wave
mounted the pilothouse and went clear
through It. carrying stout boards and
glass away, endangering the man at the
wheel. Water forced its way into many
of the rooms. As a farewell touch, the
galloping breakers tore away a portion of
the bulwarks near tne stern.
WEATHER STOPS BAR SOUNDING
Believed That Greater Depth Will Be
Shown at River's Mouth.
ASTORIA, Or., Jan. 12. The weather is
still very severe at the mouth of the river,
and several vessels are bar-bound. The
bar was breaking today, and the only
vessel to reach port -was the steamer
Aurella, which comes from San Francisco
with 4000 sacks of cement for Portland.
Indications are for a continuance of tho
storm for a week, and it Is unlikely that
the Government tug Mendell will be able
to begin the work of taking soundings at
the entrance of the harbor, as recently or
dered by the Engineer Department. The
belief is general In this city that the
soundlnsrs will show materiallj Increased
depth In the south channel over that of
two months ago, ana mat statements or
pilots in this connection will be borne out.
The dredge Chinook has been able to do
but little work on tne bar, but beneficial
effects are already noted. The south
channel Is probably deepening also from
natural causes, as the north channel has
almost closed up this Winter. That the
dredge will provide a -40-foot depth Is not
doubted in Astoria, and. with extended
Jetty to protect the channel from south
west currents, the permanency of the im
provement Is believed to be assured.
Crew of Small Boat Reported Lost
ABERDEEN. Wash.. Jan. 12. A re
port Is afloat that Captain Hanks and
seven men who were with him were
drowned during the storm prevailing
at the close of last week. The rumor
Is not confirmed. Captain Hanks is
well-known character along the coast,
and rumor of his death by drowning.
only to be contradicted by his appear
ance in the flesh, have been so frequent
that they are always received with in
credulity.
His boat, the Swift Duck, is a small
one. not more than twice the size of
an ordinary fishboat. He has been fur
nishing supplies to tho settlers on the
Hoh, the Queets and the Quinlault Riv
ers, small streams running Into the
ocean on North Beach. He has had
many hairbreadth escapes.

tering Pennsylvania.
NEW YORK. Jan. 12. Negotiations for
a settlement of the Gould-Pennsylvania
controversy, which culminated in the
chopping down of tho Western Union tele
graph poles along the Pennsylvania Rail
road lines have, according to the Herald,
been resumed, and It Is said a common
ground has been found which may lead to

are alleged to have primarily grown out
of the Gould plans to reach the Atlantic
seaboard.
There has been a long conference at
the Pennsylvania Railroad offices In this
city, at which A. J. Cassatt and Samuel
Rea were present. In the last few days
there have been other conferences In Phil

Persons interested in, the negotiations
are unwilling as yet to state definitely
upon what basis the present adjustment
is being worked out.
SALE OF CHICAGO ROAD.
Pennsylvania Company Credited
With Having Secured It.
CHICAGO, Jan. 12. The Tribune today
says: The Pennsylvania Company is said
to have secured control of the Chicago
Terminal Transfer Railway. President
Fai thorn, of the latter railroad, says ho
has no Information on the subject, but
considers the report quite plausible. Con
trol of the road, he said, might be pur
chased without knowing anything about It-
The Terminal Transfer Road would give
the Pennsylvania a belt line, connecting
It with every railroad entering Chicago,
and providing It with an independent route
for all through freight. The Terminal
Road operates 255 miles of tracks in Chi
cago and vicinity, along which are located
leading Industries, manufacturing plants,
elevators and warehouses.

MAKE PEACE WITH
YOUR STOMACH
You Are Certain to Lose If You At
tempt the Use of Force and
Violence.
You cannot force your stomach to do
work that It is unable and unwilling to
do. It has been tried time and time
again with always the same result. The
stomach Is a good and faltnful servant.
but when pushed beyond tho limit it re
bels. Some stomachs will stand much
more abuse than others, but every stom
ach has its limit; and when that limit
is reached it Is a very dangerous and
unwise proceeding to attempt to force It
into doing further work. The sensible
and reasonable course is to employ
substitute to carry on the work of di
gestion and give the stomach an oppor
tunity to recuperate and regain its lost
strength.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the only
perfect substitute to take up and carry on
the- work of tired, worn-out stomachs.
They are natural and easy In their work
and cause no disturbance in the diges
tive organs. They contain all of the
essential elements that make up the gas
tric juice and other digestive fluids and
will digest any food that a strong.
healthy stomach will, and do it in the
same time and In the same way. They
work Independently of surrounding con
ditions, and the fact that the stomach
is weak or diseased does not influence
them at all in their useful and effective
work. They will digest food just as
well In a glass jar or bottle as they will
In a stomach. You can see that for your
self by putting one of them Into a jar
with a square meal and some water to
enable It to work.
Stuarfs Dyspepsia Tablets, by thus re
lieving the stomach of its work, enable
that organ to rest and recuperate and
regain its health and strength. The pro
cess Is perfectly natural and plain. Na
ture will heal the stomach just as she
heals a wound or a broken limb, .if she
Is not interfered with and is permitted
to da her work in her own way. All In
terference is prevented by Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for sale
by druggists everywhere at 50 cents a
box and if you are afflicted with dys
pepsia, one box will make you feel 50
times better. You will forget you have
a stomach and rejoice In the forgetful-
ness. No druggist would be so short
sighted as to try to get along without
Stuart's Dyspepsia. Tablets, for they are
so popular and are so well known for
the good they have done and the happi
ness they have caused that any druggist
caught without them would lose the con
fidence of his customers and be regarded
as below the standard. His business
would suffer as a result and his patrons
would go to other stores and buy their
other drugs there as well as their Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets.-
