PROSPECTS FOR. RAILROAD.
Survey Made of Route From Port
land to Eagle Creek.
OREGON CITY, Or.,. Oct. 6. B. P. For
ttster, of Eagle Creek, who was here to
day, states that the residents of that sec
tion are greatly encouraged over the pos
sible construction of a railroad from
Portland early jiext year. L. Gerllnger,
of Portland, is- the accredited promoter
of the enterprise, and a survey of the
proposed route has been made from
Troutdale to Currinsville, passing through
Gresham and going down the north fork
of Deep Creek, near Demascos. Mr. Ger
llnger has invested about $12,000 in
timber lands on Deep Creek, and
other investors have made pur
chases in that section. The re
port is current that when the proposed
railroad line is completed the manage
ment will use the Oregon Hallway & Navi
gation Company's track out of Portland
to Troutdale. The road would pass
.through a fertile agricultural section and
tap extensive bodies of fine timber. The
laot that the Oregon Telephone & Tele
graph Company extended their line from
ILents to Currinsville, a distance of 26
miles, without asking any subsidy except
a guaranty from the Postmaster of the
latter place of $5 worth of business month
ly, indicates that it expects a large ln
crease of traffic in the future.
WOOLEX MILLS STRIKE.
Statement by President of Oregon
City Company.
OREGON CITY, Or., Oct. 6. In connec
tion with the strike of the spinners in the
woolen mills of the Oregon City Manufac
turing Company, at Oregon City, A. R.
Jacobs, the president of the company,
eays he desires the matter to be correctly
understood by the public, and he makes
the following statement of the affair:
'"The cause of the strike is that the
record of the amount of work done was
.jiot correctly kept, and to remedy the
evil a different system of paying the
hands was proposed that is, to pay them'
by the pound instead of by the run. There
was no reduction of their wages in any
manner, and it was promised that the
new schedule would be regulated so as to
enable them to earn as much as formerly.
They objected to that, and the company
then offered to pay $1 5fr per day, which
they also declined, and walked out, The
majority have since returned, and addi
tional holp has been secured from other
sources, and the mill is running full time
again."

waited for an hour for the address t6
begin, but he Immediately secured unani
mous attention and held It throughout the
evening. His arguments were plainly
stated In forceful language, and brougnt
frequent outbursts of applause.
After a thorough discussion of the ex-'
panslon question, in which he cited Demo
cratic authority for the acquisition of ter
ritory, he said that Spain bought the
Philippines from Agulnaldo, and we'
bought them from Spain; therefore, we
have a good title so far as Agulnaldo
Js concerned. He quoted an act of Con

classes of territory belonging to the.
United States states, territories and
"countries over which the "United States
exercise sovereignity and Jurisdiction."
On the question of trusts, he asserted
that the greatest monopolists are Demo

and Clark, and that the greatest monop
oly is the silver trust, comprising 37 cor
porations, which own one-half the silver
mines of the country, in point of value.

in attributing the existence of trusts to.
the legislation of the Republican COn-'
gress, when the Democrats have claimed
that the control of trusts Is a matter ot
state jurisdiction.
He warmly advocated the building of
the Nicaragua Canal and denounced the
Democracy for its opposition to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty.

RICHNESS OF NOME CLAIMS.
Future Value Yet to Be Proven
Some Good Territory.
"WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. In his report;,
to the Director of the Mint from the.
Nome district. Special Agent Cabell
Whitehead says: "
"Of the new discoveries since last sea
son, Xopkuk, located on the beach, 60
miles east of here,, easily takes the lead.
From a space notover 500 feet in length
along the beach "o the tundra, there
was taken out this Spring between $500,
000 and $600,000, all with rockers.
"The latest strike and one which Is at
present attracting much attention Is
on the Bluestone River in the Port Clar
ence mining district, something less than
100 miles from Nome. One of the
tributaries of.thjs river, Gold Run, Is said
to 'exceed in richness anything- known
heretofore, It being, no uncommon thing
'to get from ?1Q. to $20 in a single pan.
Tho creek Is entirely taken up.
"A source of gold which Is attracting
'much attentlohv at the. present time Is
'the ancient rlyer beds along the head of
Dexter and Anvil Creeks. Some of
theso deposits are fabulously rich, noth
ing richer having been founff in the Klon
dike, I am told, than some of the claims
along -Nlckkala Gulch. Tho extent of the
deposits, however, has not yet' been prov
en and another season will be necessary
to demonstrate their value.
"I incline to the opinion that these
ancient channels are the sources of tho
gold found In all the countries in this
district, as well as the gold taken from
the beach, and If I am right in this
opinion, they should be very extensive
and add many millions to the world's
production. I see no reason to doubt
that during the coming Winter, when
prospecting can be done with the aid
of thawing machines, the channels
,wlll be located and. next season will see
a very largely increased production.
"In my opinion, the future of this dis
trict remains to be proven, with the
chances largely In favor of its becom
ing in the next two years a very great
.producer,
"My estimate of the production up to
this time is 51.500.OOO, with the chance of
Increasing this production before the end
of the season to $2,000,000.
MOUNT BAKER BOUNDARY LINE.
Course ot Needle Deflected in Early
Survey.
CHICAGO, Oct. 6. A special to the Rec
ord from New Whatcom, Wash., says:
In the present dispute of the International
boundary line location near Mount Baker,
it Is stated on authority that a( peculiar
phenomenon transpired during trie survey
at that point. When the line was being
run, ' along In the early days, the course
of the needle was deflected, It was sup
posed afterward by the metal in Mount
Baker, "and the survey was inaccurate.
..This made the line several mile's out of
the way before the mistake was rectified
and the advantage was given the Cana
dian side of the line. When the mistake
was found out, it was rectified,. but may
not have been sufficiently marked the
second time. The boundary is the 49th
parallel and It Is simply a problem of
locating this parallel.

veracity an experience can and will

wealth in a less number of days than any
mine in the belt, not excepting the Virtue
In Its best days, and little new develop

workings to give evidence of a big mine
yet"

PlAiMTAUC
To Catarrh Snffercro.
Every person suffering from catarrh In
Its many forms knows that the common
lotions, salves and douches do not cure.
It Is needless to argue this point or to
cite cases of failure, because every vic
tim of catarrhal trouble knows It for him
self if ha has tried them.
A local application. If it does anything
at all, simply gives temporary relief; a
wash, lotion, salve or powder cannot
reach the seat of the disease which ia
the blood.
The mucous membrane seeks to relieve
the blood of catarrhal poison by secret
ing large quantities of mucus, the dis
charge sometimes closing up the nostrils
descending to tho throat and larynx,
causing an Irritating cough, continual
clearing of the throat, deafness, Indi
gestion and many other disagreeable
and persistent symptoms.
A remedy to really cure catarrh must
be an internal treatment: a remedy which
will gradually cleanse the system from
catarrhal poison and remove the lever
and congestion always present ia the
mucous membrane.
The best remedies for this purpose are
eucalyptol, sangulnarla and hydrastln,
but tho difficulty has always been to
get these valuable curatives combined In
one palatable, convenient and efficient
form.
Recently this has been accomplished,
and tho preparation put on the market
under the name of Stuart's Catarrh-Tablets;
they are large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, so that they may be slowly
dissolved In the mouth, thus reaching
every part df the mucous membran and
finally the stomach and Intestines.
An advantage to bo considered also 13
that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain no,
cocaine, Tnorphlne or poisonous narcotics,
so often found In catarrh powders, and
the use of which often entaiWa habit
more dangerous than the disease.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold by
'druggists at 50 cents for full-slaed pack
age, and are probably 'the safest and most
vsffectual catarrh cure on the market
