rod country, 140 miles from Innoko, V ill
lam Koon. of Fairbanks, said:
"When I left Fairbanks a great many
stampeders with big outfits were start
ing for the distant strike. Dust taken
from the several gold claims there al
ready opened had begun to show up In
Fairbanks and its appearance was ac
cepted as confirmation of the good re
ports given in letters and by returning
stampeders.
' "Four steamboats, crowded with big
cargoes of provisions and with mining
equipment, had been sent to the new
townsite from Fairbanks before I left.
"The Innoko district has surpassed all
expectations.. The Innoko camp proper
this yea? showed far better pay than
was ever believed to be there."
Miners of the Fairbanks district will
start the coming Winter's, operations in
far better condition financially than for
years past. This is due to a rain at the
close of the sluicing season. Water was
more plentiful last month than since

Tourists From McKenxie River
Points Rushing to Eugene.
EUGENE. Or., Sept. 12. (Special )
f The rain during the past week has
started a number of campers and tour
ists from the Cascade Mountains. The
"stages coming in from the McKensie
River country are usually crowded to
the limit, and seats must be engaged
many days in advance by passengers
who want to get out oo definite time.
The present seaaon has seen a great
Increase in the number of people who
have taken their outings on the McKen
ne. Probably even a greater Increase in
percentage has marked the traffic into
the Coast mountains this summer. The
lakes In these mountains, as well as the
beach in the western part of the county,
are coming to be more popular each year.'

REV. E. H. WARD ARRESTED
" OX BIGAMY CHARGE..
Baptist Congregation at Freewater,
Shocked at Scandal, Immediate
ly Discharges Pastor.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Sept. 12.
(Special.) Rev. E. H. Ward, discharged
from the Baptist pulpit at Freewater, Or..
yesterday, because of his arrest on a
charge of bigamy. Is accused now of
having three wives. Occupying a cell In
the County Jail here. Ward protests his
Innocence of the charge, saying it la a
scheme to get his money.
Thrice married before his advent into
the town of Freewater. four montha ago,
according to allegations preferred by a
former wife, living In Bakersfleld. N. C.
and wedded for the fourth time on Au
gust 12 last to Miss Myrtle Harris a
young woman of his Freewater congre
gation. Ward seems to have left a track
of broken hearts and promises from
' ocean to ocean.
Coincident with the minister's arrest J
yesterday arternoon. came nis ipuira
from the pastorate of the Freewater
Baptist Church. As a result of the af
fair the little community at Freewater
Is In a state ol unwonted excitement.
Ward's arrest was brought about
through the efforts of an alleged former
wife, living under his name at Bakers
ville. N. C. Tracing him to Freewater,
after he had unceremoniously deserted
her, the woman furnished officers with
information warranting his arrest. Ac
cording to the story given the authorities.
Ward has been married at least three
times, previous to doming to Oregon, and
his record In the North Carolina village
seems to have been unsavory- Letters
In the hands of the officers relate that
Ward attempted allying himself with
the Baptist Church at his former home,
but because of his alleged habit of
"courting other women" than' the wife
he was living with, and the "unchris
tian fault of lying." he was denied admlt
ance. "Last Winter he went to Tennessee
and spent all his money courting the
women," charges Mrs. Ward. In one of
her letters to the officers here. Contin
uing, she says: "I refused to live with
him and ne wrote me a letter threaten
ing to use dynamite unless I obeyed. He
has caused me no end of trouble by court
ing, going away three and four weeks
at a time. He never preached here."
While Ward has been preaching in
Oregon he has lived Just across the state
line in Washington.
WARE'S HECK IS SAVED
JURY RETURN'S VERDICT OF
MANSLAUGHTER.
Verdict Returned, at Chehalls in
Trial of Joe Ware for Kill
ing J. M. Corp.
CHEHALIS, Wash., Sept. 12. (Special.)
The Jury in the Joe Ware murder case
brought In a verdict of manslaughter at
10 o'clock this morning, after being out
since 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Ware was never at any time in danger
o( being hanged for the killing of J. M.
Corp, his neighbor, but for a time It
looked as though the verdict would be
one of second-degree murder. One Juror
was strong for a first-degree verdict, ni e
for second and two for manslaughter up
to midnight.
During the night two men succeeded in
swinging the other ten on the Jury.
It Is possible that Ware may appeal
the case to the Supreme Court.
The murder case against William Dean
for killing Ed Bertrand at Little Falls a
few weeks ago has been postponed to the
neat term of court, owing to the lllnecs
from typhoid fever of one of the princi
pal witnesses for the defense, a Mr.
Smith, of Little Falls. Tomorrow the
time of the court will be taken In civil
suits. -
GOOD AUTO ROAD IS MADE
Travel Easy Now to Spirit Lake and
Monnt Saint- Helens.
CASTLE ROCK. Wash., Sept. 12. (Spe
cial.) The return of Mayor T. W. Robin
and party marks the opening of a fine
automobile trail to Spirit Lake and
'Mount St. Helens. While J. A. Byerly
had mado two previous trips to the lake,
they were marked by more or less dif
ficulty, owing to the presence of innumer
able stumps and rocks which made "navi
gation" slow and laborious1.
The County Commissioners of Co wilts,
and Skamania counties, however, aug
mented by forces In the employ of R.
C. Lange. of Centralis, who is spending
large sums of mony developing the
region; particularly the mines In the
vicinity of Spirit Lake, have had much
work done on the road during the past
year, so that now here is hardly a stump
or rock to be seen on the entire route,
and the whole distance of BO miles can
easily be made In five or six hours.
EVIDENCE OF AN EXPERT.
E. H. Grubb. the great agriculturist
and potato expert of Colorado, wrote
the following about the Oakley tract,
to be opened on September 20 at Mil
ner, Idaho, by the Twin Falls Oakley'
Land & Water Co. Thla is Carey act
land and Is part of the famous Twin
Falls country in Southern Idaho.
"After carefully going over the
Oakley tract, I am satisfied that any
good farmer can, with proper methods,
grow six tons of alfalfa, or 75 bush
els of oats or barley, or 50 bushels of
wheat, or 400 bushels of the highest
class marketable potatoes, or 20 tons
of sugar beets to the acre. Indefinitely.
There will be many yields that will
exceed these conservative figures.
"A 40 of this land will feed 20 dairy
cows and 50 hogs yearly, with grain
and forage.
"The old settlers on this tract have
for 80 vears demonstrated the fruit
possibilities. E. H. GRUBB.
