Rich Placer Deposit on Red River Beach Worked by Captain and Men in Spare Time Only. SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 3. (Special.) Gold valued at nearly J5000. large nuggets worn by the captain, mate, and Thief engineer or carried as pocket pieces, and bottles filled with the yel low dust, were brought by members of the crew of the Northwestern Fish eries Company's tug Shelikoff. which reached pier 9 at 2 o'clock this after noon. The discovery of a rich placer deposit at Red River Beach, Kodiak Island; about 60 miles south of the Northwest ern Fisheries Company's cannery at Uyak, resulted in gathering treasure. The Skelikoff is the first cannery tug in the history of the salmon industry of the North Pacific to be converted into a gold ship. Captain E. Farrer displayed a bottle fileld with gold dust and large nuggets which he obtained by panning on the Red River beach In his spare time. Chief Engineer E. L. Martin and Arthur Bartman, of the crew of the Shelikoff. also brought big pokes, bot tles filled with dust and nuggets 'car ried as pocket pieces or worn as stick pins.

Chief Engineer Martin and others of the crew of the tug made trips to Red River beach, where they panned enough gold to give them a substantial Dank account. Captain Farrer said that all of the volcanoes of Western Alaska were smoking but not emitting ashes. He explained, however that there were great quantities of volcano ash on the mountains. . and accompanying every gale a great dust storm swept Kodiak Island. FAIR BIG SUCCESS LUTHER ON WAR RECALLED Reformer Calls Conflict Worse Than Famine or Disease. COPENHAGEN, Sept. 29. It may be interesting at the present time to re call the words of a great German on the subject of war. "War,", said Martin Luther, "is one of the, greatest plagues that can af flict humanity; it destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroyes fam rlies. Any scourge, in fact, is prefer able to it. Famine and pestilence be come as nothing in comparison with it. Pestilence is the least evil of the three, and 'twas therefore David chose it. willing rather to fall into the hands of God than into those of pitiless man." Another saying of Luther is not without a certain topical value: "How many fine actions have remained un known for want of an historian to re cord them." Despite Rain, Salem Show Ex pected to Return Profit. . SHRINERS FINAL FEATURE Exhibits Declared Equal to" Those of Eastern States and Grand Championship Prize Goes to Clackamas County. SALEM, Or., Oct. 3. (Special.) The best State Fair in the history of Ore gon, from the standpoint of exhibits, came to a close tonight. Because of rain two days, the attendance was not so large as last year, but it was suffi cient, it is believed, for the proceeds to meet all expenses. This was Shriners' day and a large crowd was at the fair grounds. More than 100 Shriners of Al Kader. Temple, of Portland, arrived early and joined members of the order from various parts of the state. The' Portland dele gation was headed by a band and ac companied by a patrol team, which gave exniDiuon drills on the grounds and in the city. Numerous selections were rendered by the band and the visitors were accorded aMnerry wel come by Salem Shriners aid the Cher- rians. Clackamas Wins Honors. The grand championship prize for the best agricultural exhibit was won by Clackamas County, which also cap tured first honor in the county compe tition in the Willamette Valley division. A $50 clock, offered by the Oregon Electric Company, was presented the county. It will be placed In the Circuit Court room at Oregon City. O. E. Frey tag. in charge of the agricultural and horticultural building, said competition among the counties was keener this year than ever before, and that the Judges had trouble in reaching de cisions. First prize in the beauty contest was awarded to Marion County, Morrow County winning second honor. Morrow captured first prize in the eastern di vision county class. Multnomah won third prize in the beauty contest. the track was sticky today, but the races were fair. It was a better track than that of . Friday, when the horses raced through mud and water ankle deep. " Rain Cuts Attendance. J. H. Booth, president of the State Fair board, said the exhibits excelled those of other years, and but for the inclement weather the latter part of the week there would have been a new attendance record. "Visitors from -other states say our exhibits compare favorably with the big Eastern land shows, said Mr. Booth. "The exhibitors are pleased and have assured us they will come again next year. Though the attend ance has been smaller than that of last year, we cut the racing expense and saved in other respects, so instead of coming out behind. I befleve the count will show we made a little money. While some of the livestock exhibits were not so large as in other years, the quality was as good if not better th'an ever before, and tha is what counts We had the best track horses in the history of the fair, and the trotting record was lowered. But for the rain 1 believe other track records would have fallen." Frank Meredith, secretary, was not anio tomgnt to give the total attend ance,' but said it would be several thou sand short of last year. Mr. Meredith was confident the attendance would have been larger than last year if the weather had been as favorable. BIRD REFUGE IS BOUGHT Rockefeller' Foundation Acquires Tract in South for Wildfowl. NEW YORK, Oct. 3.

LISTER'S MAN DEFEATED Election of Fogarty as Democratic State Chairman or Washington Result of Joint Efforts of Black-Turner Forces. OL.YMPIA, Wash.. Oct. 3. (Special.) Although defeated by 15 votes for the Democratic nomination for United States Senator. Judge George Turner of Spokane, by securing the election of J. B. Fogarty. of Everett, as Demo cratic state chairman, apparently has regained control of the state organiza tion, which the Turner element lost two years ago. . , The defeat jjf J. D. Trenholme. of Seattle, reputed to be Governor Lister's choice for state chairman, was a sur prise to the administration Democrats. The election of Fogarty came as the result of the joint efforts of W. W. Black, the Democratic Senatorial nom inee, and the Turner forces. In the . .. -,..r T.iRter's renorted pref erence for Trenholme. the action does not seem likely to help heal tne oreacn between the Lister and Black forces, which occurred two years ago, when Black, leader in the Democratic pri maries for the gubernatorial nomina tion, was disqualified as the result of legal action instituted by Lister sup- ... tk inprHnMi nnwer in natron- age distribution, which control of the state committee will give me aumcr Black forces, may be at the expense of chances for winning in this state in the coming election, in view of in terested political observers. The underlying cause for the action of the state committee in following the Turner forces in choice of a state chairman is known to be dissatisfac tion with the efforts of National Com mitteeman John Pattlson and former Chairman Hugh" C. Todd in securing Federal patronage. In the case of prac tically all the more important offices President Wilson and his cabinet of ficers have gone outside the recom mendations of Pattison and Todd in making appointments. This has led to a general belief that Hugh C. Wal lace of Tacoma, who maintains a resi dence in Washington, D. C, and Turner had greater influence with the Na tional Administration than did the state organization and, as a result, has strengthened the Turner forces. How ever, th6 Turner men at the state com mittee meeting found they had insuf ficient strength of their own to name the chairman, and only by selecting Fogarty, a close personal and political friend of Judge Black, could they se cure the Black support and defeat Trenholme. The defeat of Trenholme has caused particular notice because of repeated reports, never confirmed, that in the event of his attaining the state chair manship and conducting a successful campaign he might become the Demo cratic candidate for Governor in 1916. should Governor Lister at that time become a candidate for the seat of Senator Miles Polndexter. BAKER WITH , W1THYC0MBE Gubernatorial Candidate May Carry County by 1500 Votes. BAKER, Or., Oct. 3. (Special.) In the last week or so Baker has been visited by various candidates for state offices and as a result politics is begin ning to be a live topic here. Dr. Withy come received a great ovation in Ba ker County and Republicans are de claring that there will be a majority of not less than 1500 votes for the Repub lican nominee for Governor, despite the fact that Baker is counted as a Demo cratic county and has more voters reg istered as Democrats than Republicans. William Hanley, as an Eastern Ore gon man. is likely to get a good vote in Baker County, but he cannot hope to approximate the vote which will be cast for Senator Booth, who made many friends on his trip here. The Chamber lain forces have been strangely quiet and Democratic leaders, who a few weeks ago were predicting that Sen ator Chamberlain would get a large majority here, are modifying their claims and admitting that the Booth sentiment is strong. It is probable, however, that Senator Chamberlain will carry the county, but not by a large plurality. Efforts 011 the part of the supporters of Dr. C. J. Smith to stir up Interest in their candidate seem to have fallen flat. Otherwise the Republican state ticket apparently will carry the county with good pluralities. The vote on county offices, however, premises several good contests, - local issues entering in and putting aside party leanings. By far the greatest amount of dis cussion, however, seems to center around the vote on prohibition. Both sides have many workers in the field and feeling is becoming acute. Both sides contend that -they will carry the county and it is impossible to make an adequate forecast on the vote here, which, from the expression of senti ment, seems to be fairly divided.

WIFE'S FATHER IS SUED Cincinnati Man "Wants $10,000 on Account of "Alienation." CINCINNATI. O.. Sept. 19. Suit for $10,000 damages - has been filed by Earle Bullock against his father-in-law, Fred Otte, a carpenter and builder, for alleged alienation of the affections of his wife, Edna Bullock.
