PORT TOWTCSEXD, Wash.. May 18. ' fSpeclal.) Tlie breaking out of smallpox aboard thclsteaniBhip Oanfa on her last trip from the Orient opened the eyes of the immigration officials of this district to a clever scheme whereby there is no esti mating how many aliens have been (mug gjed into the country: . When the dlxease manifested itself, the afflicted Immigrants, principally Orientals, were isolated as well as conditions would permit, and upon reaching Victoria all steerage passengers were taken ashore for fumigation. After the crowd had been removed the process of fuminatuiK the vessel wa taken up. A short while after the sulphur was lighted and the hatches battened Idown the officers heard a commotion in (one of the freight compartments. It was opened, and an investigation made. As ix heavy boxes were opened each bioug-ht forth a dainty little Japanese maiden. The inquiry which followed demon strated that the shipment was consiKned to K.

LONG DETOUR TO REACH CITY l'eople ol the Santlam Forced to Go 30 Miles for t5. ALBANY, Or.. May J 8. (Special.) Though living within 15 miles of Al lany, 'residents of. the Santlam country aro now forced to travel twice that far to reach this city. Unsafe and damaged bridges are the cause. When the Sanderson .bridfre was partially washed out in the Santlam floods last Winter, residents of the "Forks of the Santiam," as that country is locally termed, could reach the county seat via Jefferson. But now that the big wagon bridfre at Jefferson has been closed to traffic by order of the courts of Linn and Marion Counties, the nearest open bridge across the Santiam Is at Ieba non. This makes the distance to Al bany about 30 miles. It will not be long, however, before the Santiam will be low enough to ford near tha site of the Sanderson bridge. New Oregon Firms. SALEM.

The squabble over the enforcement of the new law, which reciuires the dipping of all" sheep every year, has been practically settled with the Lane County farmers, who de clared that they will not allow an inspec tor to dip their sheep. E. N. Hutchinson, of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry, was here yesterday, and de-. cided that only those flocka which are diseased should be dipped and that the others would be left alone. Mr. Hutch inson sought to -find a man who would accept the appointment of deputy state Inspector for I.ane County to attend to the work of dipping, but on account of the opposition of the farmers to the new law none will accept.

There is a very strong feeling among Eugene citizens that ths reduction In fire insurance rates, promised Some time ago on th condition that, the city Improve Us nro department, ought to be forthcom- . Ins. When In December tha -city purchased a new chemical englne.a fine span of horses and put Charles Crorrer in charge, some citizens thought the undertaking an unnecessary expense, but bo one thinks so now. The actual relief work! done has been as good as the beet recordsjnade tn practice. 'Two fires, staxtlng in dry frame building, were put out this week in record time with almost no loss. One was three and one four blocks from the sta tion, and In 'each case the chemical engine was playing on the flames within -,less than two minutes after the alarm was sounded. In the fire started some weeks ago in the Opera-House block, over twA blocks away, the horses were harnessed and driven to the Are in just 38 seconds from the time the bell rang.

The city has a bond for $10,000 that Riplinger gave, but the surety com pany which provided this security will contest payment. There are a number of financial transactions of which there Is no record and it may be discovered, if matters outaide the special Improvement fund are investigated, that a new dis covery of shortages will be possible. A bond issue of $10,000 the Comptroller was Instructed to hold has not been cleared up and today one contracting firm was discovered whose indemnity check of $250 was cashed by Riplinger without ever having been credited to the city. A quarrel arose In the Council finance committee today over the corporation counsel's failure to give an opinion aa to the proper officer to act as custodian of the Improvement funds and the com- i. $1000 for the team. mittea threatened if no opinion is forth coming by Monday to employ a new at torney. .

MAYOR WIELDS AX Astoria Police Chief and En tire Force Discharged MEN ARE PUT BACK AGAIN Commission Clashes With City' Ex ecutive) Over Problem of Clos ing Dance Halls No Trace of Smith Girl. ASTORIA, Or., May IS. (Special.) The movement to have the dancehall closed resulted in Chief Gammal and all the other members of the police force being- suspended by Mayor Wise this afternoon, and being; reinstated again two hours later by the Board of Police Commissioners, but the dancehalls are still running unmo lested. Following: the refusal of C. F. Wise, proprietor of the Waldorf dancehall, to produce Lena Smith, a young girl from Ballard, said to be an inmate of that resort, the Mayor issued an order di recting the police to close all the dancehalls in the city. . The police ar rested the proprietor of the Waldorf on the charge of conducting a dance hall, but declined to . close the places unless directed to do so by the Police Commissioners, who employ the police Officers. , This afternoon Mayor Wise suspend ed the entire force, under the author ity given him by ths charter, to sus pend any officers .of the city for neg lect of duty, subject to approval of the Council. This evening the Police Com mission held a special meeting, and directed the officers to continue on duty as before. The whole matter will probably be settled at the meeting of the Council next Monday evening;, when the action of the Mayor will come up for approval or rejection. The complication in the authority over the department arises froji the fact that the Commission employs and dis charges the police- officers, while ths Council fixes their salaries. No trace has yet been found of the Smith girl, who was supposed to be se creted In th Waldorf dancehall, and It Is. reported that she has been apir ited across the river into Washington.

IN A NEVADA MINING CAMP Weather Bureau Employe Writes of Conditions at Dululh. District Forecaster G. A. Bealg Is in receipt of an Interesting letter from Herman J. Andree, an assistant In the local Weather Bureau, "who is spend ing a month's furlough in the Nevada goldfields. Before entering1 the serv ice of the Portland weather station. Mr. Andree was a member of the Baldwln Zlegler polar expedition to the North Pole. He gives a graphic description of mining-camp life in a live mining district at Duluth, $0 miles from the nearest railroad station. Mr. Andree writes there is an abundance of good ore in that dis trict, but those who hold the claims do not have the money to develop the property and ask too much for their holdings to encourage the investment of capital and the development of the mines by others. The population of the camp is about 260. "Mining stock la plentiful," writes Mr. Andree. "and frequently a bunch of shares is shoved over the bar for a drink. Sometimes the bartender re fuses several thousand dollars', (face value) worth of shares for a drink. There are men here who are broke and at the same time refuse $100,000 for a part of thelii-claims, just because) they think they are worth more.

"There are several ex-cowpuncher in town, two ex-Jockeys, several for mer vaudeville actors and some flddleVs. So there is a show In the big tent every night. The big tent is the real estate office. It has a board floor and Is excellent for buck-and-wing danc ing. There are also several good sing era in the crowd. "The greatest, or what was to have been the greatest, social event of the season was a complete failure. If you could read the Duluth Tribune, you would think the whole thing came off with music, roses, etc. Pat O'Mallery, who had escaped from the Mexican au thorities, suggested one night that a dance be given, to which a special in vitation should be sent all of the women in Duluth. All of the men fell In and the invitations were Issued. When the time arrived the men were all there, as was also the fiddler, old cowpunchers from Texas and miners from Mexico strutting around and act ing as though they felt at home with standing collars and shlned shoes; a couple of Indians in war paint, but not one woman. But the dance was held anyway. The reason the Duluth Trib une came out with such a glowing ac count was because 1 wrote the whols affair up before the dnnce came off. as the paper came out the following day and I could not set the story up after the dance. It read like an account of New York's Four Hundred." ' Lenses Seaside Resort. Dr. P. L. Austin, proprietor of the Chi cago Dental Parlors, has leased Locksley Hall.
