CAME GOMES HIGH
Oregon Pays Nearly $30,000
a Year to Deputy Wardens:
HUNTERS PAY HEAD TAX
Fines Collected for Violation of the
Law Make Up the Remainder of
the Sum Paid to Protect
Birds and Beasts.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 26. (Special.) The
protection of game in the State of Ore
gon is costing the people of this state
in the neighborhood of $30,000 a year.
This is probably many times the value
of the game the people enjoy as a possi
ble result of the system o protection
which has proven so costly. '
Up to September 30 of the present year
the expenditures from the special game
fund for the protection of game aggre
gated $21,000. At the same rate' for the
remainder of the year the total of claims
paid from that fund will be $2S,000, to
which must be added $1709 as salary and
expenses of the Game and Forestry
Warden, making a total of $29,700 of visi
ble expense of game protection.
The greater part of the expense is for
the per diem and traveling expenses of
deputies, of whom there are about 50,
devoting their time and skill to the pro
tection of .wild game from the depreda
tions of pot hunters. The deputies re
ceive 52 per day and their actual expenses
while on duty. The expenses usually run
from $1 to $2 a day.
Some of the deputies put in their en
tire time searching for violators of the
game laws. Others have employment in
private business and devote their spare
time to the service of the state, charging
in their accounts only for such time as
they spend in protecting game. Prac
tically all of the $28,000 will go to the
payment of deputies and their expenses.
The special game fund is derived from
the hunters' licemie fees and fines col
lected from violators of the game lawsl
The license fees last year aggregated $i,
000 and are expected this year to amount
to $20,000. The remainder of the fund is
derived from fines. The game law pro
vides that the deputies and their ex
penses shall be paid from this fund and
that the expenditures shall not exceed in
amount the total of the fund.
The fees charged for licenses are $1 for
residents of the state and $10 for non
residents. The fines vary from $5 to $50.
The license law was enacted in 1905.
CAPTAIN mm LIGHT
THOUGHT THE SKAGIT WAS
HEADED INTO THE STRAITS.
After the Barkentine Struck Some of
the Crew Leaped to the Rooks
and Escaped.
VICTORIA, B. C. Oct. 26. The steamer
Salvor arrived today, bringing the sur
vivors of tlie wrecked barkentine Skagit.
Mate Langkow, describing the disaster,
said Captain Rose sighted a light which
he believed to be Carmanah, but was
evidently that at Cape Beale, and believed
himself bound into the straits, when in
the darkness, a thick rain and a strong
southwest breeze the vessel struck sud
denly on the rocks bow on and the fore
topmast and mainmast and mizzen came
down.
The vessel swung broadside to the rocks
and reeled to port with the seas breaking
over her. Soon she began to break up
aft, and seven men with the mate made
their way forward. The captain, cook
and two men remained aft, one of them
jumping in an effort to reach the rocks.
He Was struggling in the water for 20
minutes and was badly cut and bruised
before being pulled out.
In the meantime Captain Rose sprang
overboard and was - washed into the sea
and under the vessel, his body not being
seen again. One by one the others, ex
cepting the cook, who refused to leave
the vessel, jumped for the rocks, which
were within 15 feet. Some were strug
gling in the water for nearly 20 minutes
and were cut and bruised.
It was about three hours after the ves
sel struck before they made their way
ashore, where a shelter was made. An
Indian directed them to Cloo Osf, where
they were succored by Long, the line
man, until the Salvor arrived this morn
ing and they were taken on board the
steamer.
At low water two men vent on board
and tried to persuade the cook to leave,
but he said he did not care to and re
mained. Later in the day two men went
on board and found his body- amongst
the wreckage, tiie head battered and
bleeding. The body was brought to Cloo
Ose and later brought here for interment
by the Salvor. Indians are endeavoring
to locate the body of Captain Rose. The
wreck is broken up.
SHAVER OF GOLD COINS
SEATTLE MAX A VERY SKILLFUL
WORKMAN.
Fifty Cents Taken From the Edge of
$5 Pieces, and $1 From
$10 Pieces.
9EATTLB, Wash.. Oct. 26. Hundreds of
$5 and $10 gold pieces are being "shaved"
by some unknown man in this city. So
well the work done that it has escaped
detection by some of the most experi
enced -bank cashiers. The criminal is evi
dently shaving the coins by placing them
in a lathe and carefully trimming: off the
edges, without, however, destroying the
milling.
Outside of making the edges of the
coins a trifle thinner than the body, the
work of the criminals could escape detec
tion by the most expert paying or receiv
ing teller in local banks. Captain Tell, of
the Secret Service division, estimates that
about 50 cents is being taken from $3
gold pieces and a dollar from 510 coins.

DESERT THE PLUMBERS
AFFILIATED TRADES OPPOSED
TO SYMPATHETIC STRIKE.
Taconia Trades Fnion and Building
Trades Council in Danger -of
Disruption.
TACOMA. Wash., Oct. 26. (Special.)
As a result of the refusal of a number
of the local labor organizations to indorse
the plumbers' strike, it is reported that
a number of organizations will be forced
to withdraw from the Trades Council and
Building Trades Assembly. While the of
ficials of the organizations affected will
not discuss the situation, it is reported
that the action taken by a number of the
unions is such that, if an attempt is
made to force a sympathetic strike, a
disruption of the two central bodies will
follow.
At a meeting of the tinners and cornice
makers last night, the men decided to
leave the central body rather than be
forced to take up the plumbers' fight. A
member of the union today stated that
the action taken practically means with
drawal from the Trades Council, as that
organization cannot indorse the position
taken. It virtually means that the au
thority of the Trades Council will not be
recognized. The carpenters, plasterers,
painters and paper-hangers also have
agreed that the plumbers must carry on
their fight alone.

GOES TO SEE JUTE MILL
GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN IS
WILLING TO BE CONVINCED.
Visit to California Showed That Con
vict 'Labor Could Not Com
pete W ith East Indians.
SALEM. Or., Oct. 26. (Special.) Gov
ernor Chamberlain will leave Monday
evening for Walla Walla, where he and
a number of members of the Oregon Leg
islature will Inspect the prison jute mill,
with a view to learning whether such a
mill would probably be a satisfactory es
tablishment for the employment of con
vict labor in Oregon.
Governor Chamberlain is now quite
strongly of the opinion that Oregon
should not undertake the manufacture of
grain bags. While he believes that the
farmers would prortt by the manufacture
of grain bags by the state in a year like
this, when trusts and the San Francisco
disaster put prices up, he does not be- j
lieve that the use of convict labor in ;
that enterprise would give the farmers j
lower prices one year with another. j
When Governor Chamberlain visited'
the jute mill In the California prison at
San yuentin he found that private deal
ers were able to sell bags imported from
India cheaper than the state could afford
to sell them, even though made by con- ;
vict labor and as a consequence the bags j
made by the state were stored in ware- j
houses and the money that had been in
vested In raw material was tied up in I
stock that wouldn't sell. While the .ov-
ernor entertains opinions adverse to the ;
Jute-mill project he will inspect the plant
at Walla Walla, learn what he can about
it and form his judgment according to
his latest informa.ion.
Yakima Range Needs Rain.
NORTH YAKIMA, Wash.. Oct. 26.
(Special.) Owing to the lack of rain
In the Yakima Valley, sheepmen are
pasturing 40.000 head of sheep in the
Sunnyside country. There has been no j
rain in tne laKima valley since June

no hill pasture this Fall. The alfalfa
fields are now being pastured over the
entire valley. Should Winter come on
the stockmen must depend entirely
on alfalfa hay for feeding instead of

hay go high.

Intestines with a costly waste of Pigestivo
Juice, as Salts, Castor Oil, Calomel, Jalap,
or Aperient Waters always do.
No Cascarets strengthen and stimulate
the Bowel Muscles, that line the Food
passages and that tighten up when food
touches them, thus driving the food to its
finish.
A Cascaret acts on your Bowel Muscles
as if you had just sawed a cord of wood, or
walked ten miles.
Cascarets move the Food Naturally,
digesting it without waste of tomorrow's
Gastric Juice.
The thin, flat, Ten-Cent Box Is made
to fit your Vest pocket, or "My Lady's"
Purse. Druggists 10 Cents a Box.
. Carry it constantly with you and take a
Cascaret whenever you suspect you need
one.
Be very careful to get the genuine

RS. DYE has
unequalled position as the historian-novelist
of the Northwest. Not
qnly is her knowledge and authority be
yond question but she has developed the
possibilities of history in fiction form far
ther than any other American writer.
The chance casting away of a party of
Japanese on the Oregon coast many years
ago inspired Ranald McDonald, a fully
historical personage, to enact a similar
drama in his own proper self with the
characters and continents reversed. In
Japan he was" permitted to establish a
school, and it was actually his pupils who
acted as interpreters during the negoti
ations with Commodore Perry. Mrs.
Dye learned her facts from McDonald's
own lips and only deferred publication un
til his papers finally reposed in her hands.
