Also a number of private claims and

appropriation of $1,1C9,500 for the Puget
Sound Navy-Yard; for the improvement
of the harbors of Puget Sound and Gray's
Harbor including the deepening of the
channel of the Columbia between the
mouth of the Willamette and the City of
"Vancouver. All the appropriations pro
vided for in the river and harbor bill as
reported in the Senate at the close of the
last seeslon -will again be taken up with
very good prospect of securing their rec
ognition. Among the petitions to be presented by
Senator Foster is an exhaustive statement
and memorial from the various commer
cial bodies of Gray's Harbor. This state
ment shows the desirability of expending
$500,000 In continuing the Jetty work and
for the inner channel of the harbor $240
000. For the improvement of the rivers
tributary to Gray's Harbor, an appro
priation of $15,000 Is asked. This memorial
Is signed by the following commercial
bodies of Chehalis County: Aberdeen
Chamber of Commerce, Hoquiam and
Ocosta Commercial Clubs, Montesano
Business Men's Club, CosmonoHs Im
provement Club and Westport Board of
Trade.
Another petition asks for a public build
ing at Olympia. Representative Jones
will present the North Yakima public
building bill and Senator Turner will
probably Introduce the Spokane bill on
the same subject. It Is believed the larger
cities, Seattle, Spokane and Tacoma will
be provided with public building flret,
Seattle having already been provided for.
A large number of petitions will be pre
sented on behalf of the various Trades
Councils and the members thereof
throughout the State urging that a suit
able appropriation be made in the Naval
appropriation bill authorizing the con
struction of war ships in the Navy-Yards
of the United States.
A number of G. A. R. posts throughout
the State have sent to Senator Foster
petitions which will be presented pray
ing for legislation that will stamp out
anarchy. The Senator has also received
and will present to the Senate a number
of resolutions adopted by. Trades Coun
cils urging the re-enactment of the Chi
nese Exclusion Law, and the passage of a
law that will rigidly exclude Chinese
from this country.
Among the concurrent resolutions Sen
ator Foster will present is one directing
the Secretary of War to Immediately sur
vey the mouth of the Nooksack River
with a view to removing the obstructions
to navigation. Senator Foster hopes to
have this resolution acted on as quickly
as possible in order that the survey may
be made In time to provide in the "river
and harbor bill for the removal of the ob
structions from the river, and for the
opening of the new channel. During the
past season, owing to the obstructions at
the mouth of this river, the surrounding
country has been overflowed by water and
much damage to property has resulted:
Senator Foster has also prepared for In
troduction immediately after Congress
convenes a bill providing for an Alaskan
cable which will probably cost upwards of
$300,000. It is impossible to give exact fig
ures owing to the fluctuation in the price
of materials. Twenty-five miles In the
distance could be saved by stretching the
cable east of Queen Charlotte Island, thus
laying it in foreign waters. This will
probably not be done.
The question of securing cable stations
In Siberia and Japan has been seriously
discussed with General Greely, Chief Sig
nal Officer N)f the Army, and It Is believed
toy him that rights already secured will
prevent any foreign company from land
ing in either Siberia or Japan for 10 or
more years. In order to construct a ca
ble, therefore, by way of the northern
route. It would be essential to have an
International agreement whereby stations
could be built in foreign countries. It is
admitted, however, by many who have
made a careful study of the subject that
the northern route is more desirable. One
of the chief arguments in favor of the
southern route. Senator Foster states, has
been the desirability of connecting San
Francisco with Honolulu. This connec
tion, it is now stated, can probably be
made by way of the new British cable to
be built from Vancouver to Australia,
which connection could be made satisfac
torily from the Hawaiian Islands to Fan
ning Island, the approximate distance be
ing 1200 miles.
There is considerable brisk competition
reported among telegraph and cable com
panies to secure advantages in laying ca
bles from the Pacittc Coast to the Orient.
It is admitted that a cable of this nature
would prove a paying investment, and, as
a commercial proposition, is fully war
ranted. It Ts also probable that should
Senator Foster's bill providing for an
Alaskan cable be passed and the canal
laid by the Government, that the 6ame
could be sold on satisfactory terms to a
commercial company desiring to have a
through line to the far East.
stranded crew of the Ralph J. Iong be
fore dispatching the cutter on the mission
of relief.
Captain Healy, when seen, said he could
hardly believe that the miners were in
pressing danger of suffering from lack of
provisions, as both the Alaska and the
North American Commercial Companies
have provisions stored at Unalaska. The
men are destitute, but the companies will
undoubtedly give them sufficient food to
tide them over until relief arrives.
Besides the stranded miners, there are
14 white men and about 150 natives In
Unalaska. The food supply, according to
Captain Healy, Is sufficient to sustain
the -white men and natives three months.
It will require 10 days for the McCulloch
to reach Unalaska.

Disobeyed Lone Footpad's Order Not
to Cry Oat Her Injuries
Are Not Serious.
SALEM, Nov. SO. Miss TiUotson. a
dressmaker, was held up by a lone footpad
on North Commercial street about 6
o'clock this evening. She had no money
or valuables, and surrendered nothing to
the stranger. The place where the hold
up occurred is a dark thoroughfare, and
not much frequented by pedestrians. The
woman was ordered to throw up her hands
and give up her money, and although
warned not to sound any alarm, she kept
up a continuous screaming that attracted
residents of the vicinity to the scene, and
caused the footpad to flee.
Miss TIHotson was struck on the head
once with some Instrument In the handts
or the would-be robber, but sustained no
serious Injury. She describes her assail
ant as a short, unmasked and smooth
faced, man.
This Is not the first hold-up that has oc
curred in Salem recently. M. L. Hamil
ton, a local liquor dealer, and his Eon
Claude were held up separately on two
different nights, in the southern part of
the city, less than two weeks ago, by a
lone man, but the footpads on both occa
sions, as in this instance, got nothing.

LOWER COURT SUSTAINED.
Rnlinsc In Case of Naming: a Guar
dian for a Spendthrift.
SALEM, Nov. 30. An Important caff
was decided by Circuit Judge Boise thS
afternoon, that of the guardianship of
William Joseph. In which Dr. M. S. Skiff,
of Salem, was the defendant or objecting
party. The case involves the title to 270
acres of timber land located near Salem,
that is valued at $7000.
The case was heard in the County Court
on a petition for the appointment of a
guardian for William Joseph, a spend
thrift. Dr. M. S. Skiff appeared, alleging
ownership of the land, and objected to the
naming of a guardian. His objections were
overruled, and Albert Joseph was named
as guardian, whereupon Skiff appealed.
This case has been one of the most hotly-contested
actions heard in the Marlon
County Circuit Court, and will probably
go to the Supreme Court- One Important
question never before decided in this state
was raised by respondent, when he
moved to dismiss the appeal on the ground
that an order appointing a guardian for .i
spendthrift is not an appealable order. On
this point Judge Boise ruled that Skiff
was not sufficiently interested to inter
vene in the appointment of a guardian,
and dismissed the appeal, the decision ot
the lower court being affirmed. Judge
Boise would not pass on furthtr questions
as to title of land, but suit will now be
brought by Joseph's guardian against Dr.
Skiff, to gain possession of the land and
damages for waste, such proceeding hav
ing been ordered by the County Court,
The following Is a brief statement of the
case: In an early day James Joseph came
to Salem from Wisconsin, and followed
his trade of stonemason here. Mr. Jo
seph was frugal, industrious and laborious,
and by economy and hard work acquirea
-considerable property and some money.
In the early '80s he died, leaving a widow
and one son, both well provided for. The
widow was Mr. Joseph's second wife, a
step-mother of the son, who was known
as "Bill" Joseph. His step-mother object
ed to his wild ways, whlcn, after nis
father's death, became intolerable, and
they agreed to a division of the estate, to
be made by Hon. David Simpson. Among
other property allotted to the m wore
270 acres located six miles east of Salem.
Shortly after the division of the property
Joseph left Salem. For a timo some track
was kept of him, but for more than three
years he has not been heard from, al
though his relatives have made every ef
fort to locate him. For a time after h
left Salem anuncle paid taxes on the land,
but he died, and tne property, wnich ts
almost entirely choice timber land, was
sold for taxes at four different times. All
of these tax titles were secured by Dr.
M. S. Skiff, of this city, who took posses
sion of the land, and it is alleged cut on
of it about 9u00 cords of wood.
Last Spring a petition was tiled, in the
County Court of Marlon County by L. H.
McMahon, as attorney for AVHllam Joseph,
of DeSoto, Wis., asking that a guardian
be appointed for the person and estate or
Joseph, whom the petition alleged was a
"drunken, debauched. Idle person, addict
ed to opium-smoking and gambling.
Upon the hearing of the petition Dr. M. S.
Skiff appeared with an answer, denying
all the allegations contained In the peti
tion, and stating that he was the owner or
the land described in the petition-, and he
asked that the petition be dismissed. A
motion to strike the answer from the flies,
on the ground that Dr. Skiff was not a
proper party to the proceedings, was sus
tained, and on bearing of the testimony
adduced by petitioner, the County Judge
appointed Albert H. Joseph, cashier of the
Capital National Bank, as guardian. From
this order Dr. Skiff appealed to the Cir
cuit Court, and on the hearing respondent
moved to dismiss the appeal, on tn,
grounds that Dr. Skiff has no appeaiaoie
interest in the order uppealed from, and
that the order appointing the guardian for
a spendthrift is not an appealable order.

ROAD-TAX CASE BOBS UP AGAIN.
Salem Man Who Was Worsted Takes
It to Circuit Court.
SALEM, Or., Nov. 30. An application
for a writ of review proceeding was
made to Circuit Judge Boise this after
noon in the case of W.. F. Dunlap vs.
H. T. Bruce, Road Supervisor of Road
District No. 19, North Salem precinct.
Judge Boise granted the petition and
made the writ returnable on Wednesday,
December 18.
This is the case heard before Justice
O'Donald, Monday, when judgment for
costs amounting to $9 was rendered
against Dunlap In the suit brought by
Bruce as Road Supervisor to collect a $3
road poll tax. At the hearing it was
shown that Dunlap had by mistake paid
the amount of the tax to the City Street
Commissioner instead of the Road Su
pervisor of the district In which he re
sided. The costs of the case, however,
were assessed to him. Not being a prop
erty-owner, his wages were garnlsreed.
H. J. Bigger appears as attorney for
Mr. Dunlap In the writ of review pro
ceedings, and in the petition alleges that
the court erred In the following particu
lars: By exceeding its Jurisdiction; In
overruling the petitioner's demurrer to de
fendant's complaint; in sustaining the de
murrer of Bruce to petitioner's answer; in
entering Judgment against Dunlap with
out hearing evidence in support of the Is
sues made by the pleadings; that the
L pleadings in said case were wholly in
sufficient to sustain said judgment.

METSCHAN AND GILTNER WIN.
Money In Bank That Failed Cannot
Be Withheld From Them.
SALEM, Nov. 30. Circuit Judge Boise
today overruled the objection of Ladd &.
Bush to the payment to Phil Metschan,
ex-State Treasurer, and E. C. Giltnert
by the receiver of the Williams &. Eng
land Banking Company, of any further
sums, except as to Interest items. The
payment of the last dividend of 5 per
cent, as to principal, was ordered paid.
Holmes & Holmes, attorneys for Ladd &
Bush, were given until Monday to file
amended objections to the payment of
Interest claims. The case will probably
be taken up and finally disposed of by
Judge Boise the latter part of next week.
Mr. Metschan's claim aggregates some
thing over 5S00O, while Giltner's claim
amounts to about 525,000, upon which tho
final payment, amounting to 5 per cent,
remained unpaid, when tho Salem bank
ing firm filed objections to the pay
ment. Before the decision was rendered At
torneys L. R. Webster, of Portland, and
Carson & Adams, of Salem, counsel' for
Messrs. Metschan and Giltner. offered a
demurrer to the objections, alleging that
Ladd & Bush did not have an objection
able right in the premises, that the State
of Oregon and the City or saiem were mo
proper parties to make objections. Judge
Boise overruled the demurrer, holding
that inasmuch as the claim of Ladd &
Bush could not be satisfied in full in tho
event the Metschan and Giltner claims
were allowed, the banking firm was a
rightful party to file objections.
In passing upon the case Judge Boise
held that so far aa the payment of the
claims of principal preferred by Metschan-
and Giltner was concerned, the
question had been settled by a former
adjudication of the court under Judge

deposits. In concluding, Judge Boise
held that it would be necessary to try
the case on the question as to whom the
funds belonged.

THE OLD WAY
Of Treatlnar Stomach Trouble and In-
dlKestlon, a Barbarous and
Useless One.
Wo say the old way, but really it Is the
common and usual one at the present
time and many dyspeptics, and physic
ians as well, consider the first step In
attempting to cure indigestion Is to diet,
either by selecting certain food and re
jecting others, or to greatly diminish the
quantity of food usually taken.
In other wor"ds the starvation plan, is
by many, supposed to be the first essen
tial in the cure of weak digestion.
The almost certain failure of the starv
ation cure for stomach trouble has been
proven time and again, but still the usual
advice, when dyspepsia makes its ap
pearance. Is a course of dieting.
All this is radically' wrong. It is fool
ish and unscientific to recommend diet
ing or starvation to a person suffering
from dyspepsia because indigestion itself
starves every organ and every nerve and
fiber in the body.
What is needed Is abundant nutrition,
not less, and this means plenty of good
wholesome, well-cooked food, and some
natural digestive to assist the weak
stomach to digest It.
This is exactly the purpose for which
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are adapted,
and this Is the way they cure the worst
cases of stomach trouble.
The patient eats plenty of wholesome
food, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets di
gest it for him.
And this is In accordance with nature
and common sense, because In this way
the whole system is nourished and the
overworked stomach rested, because the
tablets will digest the food, whether the
stomach works or not. One of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 1S0O grains
of meat, eggs and similar food.
Any druggist will tell you that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets is a remedy of extra
ordinary value, and probably Is the pur
est and safest remedy for stomach trou
bles.
No person suffering from poor diges
tion and lack of appetite can fall to be
immediately and permanently benefited
if they would make it a practice to take
