ABERDEEN, Wash., April 7. (Spe cial. )t Within a few feet of the point Indicated by J. Klingenberg, donkey man on the schooner A. J. West, who has confessed to the murder of Charles Hadbergr and has declared that William Gohl, formerly Sailors' Union agent here, killed John Hoffman, searchers late yesterday afternoon drew from the waters of the Chehalis River a bit of cloth which Is believed to be a por tion of the coat of Hoffman. Identifi cation Is not positive. The discovery was made Just as the searchers were about to quit work for the day. It stirred them to renewed activity. Nothing further rewarded their efforts, however, and no further discoveries were made up to a late hour today, though every inch of the river bottom in the -icintiy of the Michigan mill is being carefully gone over. Gohl is permitted to see his wife and attorney. The accused murderer has not yet been apprised of Kllngenberg's confession. He talks to his wife only through the bars of his cell and In the presence of a guard or witness. No confidential chats of any nature are permitted him. Klin gen berg has not been visited by a single person since his confinement In the County Jail. He has become more quiet and seems to have found repose. The story that he yelled all last night Is denied at the Sheriff's office today. BOLD LEAP GAINS LIBERTY Prisoner Makes Da$h From Boise Prison and Is Still at Large. BOISE. Idaho, April 7. (Special.) Weeks of patient toil resulted in a dar ing jail delivery at the Idaho State Penitentiary last Sunday, when Thom as Harris, one of the most notorious prisoners in the institution, and John Cunningham, his cellmate, removed hundreds of brick from the ventilator, leading from their cell, and cutting a hoi through the roof.

Students to Stage Comedy Tomorrow Night. PORTLANDERS HAVE ROLES Annual Society Event of College Town Absorbs Students and Resi dents "Captain lietterblalr' Situations Are Amusing. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or., April 7. (Special.) Members of senior class of the University of Ore gon will present their annual play at the Eugene Theater Saturday evening. The senior play is not only the prin cipal theatrical happening of the year In the college town, but more and more, with every- presentation. It has come to be the red-letter society event of the varsity season. It never fails to draw a crowded house of college stu dents and townspeople, and the trend of varsity fashion is toward making It a full-dress affair. "Captain Letterblair," a three-act comedy, full of funny situations, which has been seen several times In Port land, is the play which the seniors have elected to give this year. Dud ley Clarke, football hero and captain of last Fall's team, appears as leading man In the title role, and Miss Frances Oberteuffer, of Portland, is the leading woman. The play affords plenty of opportun ity for good comedy work on the part of the senior thesplans, but a feature that will make it all the more amusing to the college students Is the predica ment In which Clarke, the Captain Let terblair of the play, finds himself in after making love to several of the girls and finally kissing the wrong one Miss Jennie Lilly, as "Hyacinth Messiter" with a kiss that is not a bit stagey. . Another football man. William E. Kiltz, of Vancouver, B. C will also have a prominent part, appearing as Francis Mori vale, the villain. He Is finally thwarted by Miss Ruth Duni way. of Portland, the ingenue of the cast, as Polly Messiter, through whose efforts Captain Ttterblair's perplexed love affairs are finally straightened out. Miss Duniway, Miss Lilly and Miss Oberteuffer, the three girls In the cast, are all from Portland. They are also prominent members of the university dramatic club. Boxes at the play will be occupied by members of the different sororities at the university. Many out-of-town visitors are also expected for the event. Following Is the cast: Captain Letterfolair Litton Tud!ey Clarke Th Dean, his uncle Harold Bates Francis Merivale William Klitz Mr Seaton B. H- Williams Jorktn R. K. Torry Hmithers C P. Shantflo plnkney Joel Richardaon Henry Harold Rounds Fenny Haden Frances Oberteuffer Foilv Messiter Ruth Duniway Hvaclnth Mewsiter lennle Lilly problem of present and vital interest. For many years Professor F. G. Young, head of this department, has placed spe cial emphasis on systematic research in the thesis work of each senior under his supervision. His aim has been to get from every student a contribution of real, practical value toward the solution of the pressing problems of the day. The result of this policy received substan tial recognition last year 'when the Ore gon Legislature made use of much infor mation contained in several theses sub mitted by Professor Young's students, in the framing of new laws. Among the original lines of Investiga tion being followed by the seniors of this year's class may be mentioned a .finan cial history of Portland, the first ever compiled, by Dean T. Goodman, from what primary sources are still available; the question of whether the state should undertake Internal improvements such as the building of state railroads, etc, under the proposed amendment to the Consti tution, by Oliver B. Huston; a review of the experiences of municipalities with the problem of public ownership of street railways, by William Cake; the develop ment of a theory for a sane forestry policy for Oregon, by Carl Neal, and an examination of the corporation problem, with a view of suggesting features of a practicable and advisable corporation law, by W. C. Nicholas. Still another thesis deals with the in teresting and timely question of a plan for the organization of a central bank, as favored by President Taft, Senator Aldrich and other National leaders, as a means of forestalling conditions that in the past have led to financial panics. This paper is being prepared by Wilshire Bristow. MINING REGION IS RICH IDAHOAS PREDICTS RUSH WHEN DEVELOPMENT BEGIXS $6000 FIRE HURTS FARMER Thirteen Head of Horses Terisli in Klamath Conflagration.

Eugene. Or.. April 7. (Special.) Of 16 senior theses in preparation this year by stadents lu the department of economies and politi cal science at the University of Oregon, all but one deal with a state or municipal Western Slope of Bitter Root Divide Is Vast Storehouse of Wealth, Says Prospector. 1TLE, Wash.,' April 7. (Special.) Old prospectors In the vicinity of Lyle have been awakened to Joy over th prospect of capital and developed mod ern energy supplying the key to un lock the treasury vault of the western slope of the Bitter Root Divide, much of which is yet unexplored, drained by tne salmon anil Clearwater river. ! Idaho. Marion Sp"lawn, who is just now in terested In developing an apple orchard six miles out from Lyle. was an Idaho prospector back In the '90s. Mr. Splawn was In the vicinity of Grangeville. At that time wagon roads were much needed and the country was awaiting me aeveiopment or transportation fa cilities. According to Mr. Splawn, the distance to white Bird, on the Salmon River, from Grangeville Is 30 miles, to Elk City and Basin. SO miles. Fifty miles almost south from Elk City Is Florence, which boasted of a popula tion of 10.000 In 1861. The undeveloped quanz mines, usually rree-mllllng. in i the Salmon River region are rich in gold. The veins are both contacts and fissures, and they show Indications of permanence. The lodes are of various sizes and some of them will sample as high as $1000 a ton. The formation is clipflv granite, porphyry, slate and quartzite. The field embraces all that region be tween the Snake River lava fields on the south and the Coeur d'Alene region on the north, and between the rich copper fields of the Seven Devils range on the west and the Continental Divide on the east, in all about 30.000 square miles. The country Is well watered -by the heavy snows, of the depth sometimes of ten feet, beginning in October and not breaking fully until June. It ,is abundantly supplied with timber and portions are densely covered with white pine that can be utilized by the lum berman. The streams all abound with trout and there may be found consid erable large game, such as elk. moose, deer, wild goats and bear. Good ag ricultural land is limited In that re gion, owing to the uncommon rugged ness of the country. The tillable land has long been taken and Is profitably cultivated in the production of hay, grain and vegetables. Further, it is believed the oppor tunity for rapid development for that section is now at hand, with the treach erous Indian, outlawry of road-agents, and tedious delays of pack trains re moved. When the bars are fully removed, the stampede to that Eldorado will rival the wildest days of the Klondike craze. The now inaccessible gravel beds along the Salmon River, which' can be made Uncommonly good news for housewives and handy husbands who take pride in keeping up the home and its equipment.
