PROSPEROUS MINES
In the Myrtle Creek District of
South Douglas County.
MUCH WORK UNDER WAY
And Everything Seems to Indicate
Satisfactory Results.
Myktle Creek, Or., Aug. 20 The
following is a partial' list of the produc
ing gold miues amLpxospects on South
Myrtle Creek, about eight miles east of
town. AH of these lie within a radius
of three miles similar to the formation
at Cripple Creek and since the ore
bodies and values here are just as large,
or larger than in the famous Colorado
camp, there is no reason why the Myr
tle Creek gold fields should not become
equally as famous, and no doubt will
when capital takes hold, which will be
done at no distant day.

STRONG
WATSON NOTIFIED.
Refers Courteously to Republican
and Democratic Nominees.
HE SPEAKS OF BRYAN
And His Followers They Cannot
be Led Like Cattle.
Xcw York, Aug. IS. Thomas E.
Watson of Georgia, the People's Party
candidate for President, and Thomas
Tibbies of Nebraska, its Vide Presiden
tial candidate, were formally notified of
their nomination here tonight at Cooper
Union. The big hall was crowded when
the two candidates accompanied by Al
fred G. Boulton, of Brooklyn, appeared,
and there was much cheering.
Chairman Boulton introduced Judge
Samuel W. Williams of Indiana, who
made a speech officially notifying the
candidates of their selection.
In closing hid address, in which he re
viewed the work and ideals of the party,
Judge Williams said to Mr. Watson:
Wo realize with pride that you
stand with Jefferson and Lincoln, with
Peter Cooper and Henry George, with
Polk and with Donnelly, in placing man
above a dollar."
When Watson arose to speak the
cheering continued nearly four minutes.
Chairman Boulton introduced him in a
half a dozen words, simply referring to
him as the candidate fr the People's
Party.
Watson gave up a great portion of his
address to a discussion of the Democra
tic and Republican platforms and the
candidacy on Judge Parker.
The speaker said he would not venture
to say a word against Parker's charac
ter, "for I believe him to bo an eminent-
v worthv man."
Of President Roosevelt, Watson said :
" I have no words of abuse for Theo
dore Roosevelt. I believe him to be a
brave, honest, couscientoii3 man. 1 give
bim full credit for having splendid cour
arge of conviction, bat inasmuch as he
tands for those government principles
which, in my judgement, are hurrying
this republic into a sordid despotism of
wealth, I will combat him and his prin-
iples as long as there be breath in my
bodv."
Answering a self-asked question as to
vhy he consumed more time in discuss
ing Democrats than in seaking of Re
publicans, the Populist leader made re
ply: It's easier and to strike an open
enemy right beween the eyea than it is
to tear off the mask from the face of a
pretended friend and show him to be
the hyprocrite that he is."
Continuing Watson said :
"I do not believe that six and a half
million men who followed Bryan can
now be delivered like cattle to the Cleve-
andites who knifed the ticket or bolted
in 1S95. I believe that a great majority
of the men of convictions. I cannot
but hope they will realize that I am
Gshting their battle now."
Watson declared for public owuership
of railways, asserting that the trusts
got their greatest support from the rail
roads. He also spake in favor of an in
come tax. In conclusion Watson said :
" For myself I do not believe that the
present tyranny of corporations, mon
opoly and autocracy of wealth can en
dure forever."
SHELLING PORT ARTHUR
Fate of the Fortress Still in Doubt-
Likely to Fall Any Time.
CiiKF-foo, Auc. 2i). The greatest ex
citement prevails here tonight and ni
mora are flying thick and fast. A ces
sation of heavy firing early in the even
ing leil to the report that the fortress
had fallen, but this cannot be confirmed
and in a measure was discounted by
several explosions heard at a later hour
as though the occasional discharges of
heavy pieces of ordinance.
There is a well founded belief, how
ever, as the result of continued stories
received here today, that the fortress,
unless it shows greater strength than it
is believed to have, cannot hold out very
much longer.
AH accounts tend to show that the
most terrific cannonade ever turned up
on a given point has been concentrated
on Port Arthur for the past 12 hours
enough in fact to batter any ordinary
stronghold into a mere pulp of mortar
and stone.
A coaster arriving hero late tonight
says the firing was continuous not only
from the front but from the rear of the
fortress, if sounds at eea may be taken
as an indication.
The Japanese are known to have
mounted heavy guns in nearly all direc
tions from the citadel but owing to the
elevations it is doubtful if effective fire
could he secured against the forts in the
shadow of such ranges as the Shah
which is nearly GOO feet bight and be
neath which the Russians would be pro
tected. The Japanese here are confident that
the morrow will oring news of the cap
turo of the fort.

And Three Wounded in a Riot in

Chicago, August 20. During a
riot in the stock yards tonight one
man was shot and instantly killed and
three other men injured. A crowd
of men and women strike sympathiz
ers gathered at Fortieth street and
Emerald avenue, where a long train
filled with Greeks and negroes from
the yards had stopped. When strike
sympathizers commenced to hoot and
jeer nonunion men and press closer
to the sides of the car the men in
side opened fire. A riot call was
turned in and 40 policemen hurried
to the spot. Police ordered that
every door and window of the train
be closed and a dozen men passed
through each coach in search of
weapons while the remaining force
beat back the great crowd that had
gathered.

was received here today, that Super
intendant T. W. Potter, of the Indian
Training School here, was married at
Redding, CaL, Thursday, to Miss
Mary J. Smith, a pupil in the school
since 1895. The announcement oc
casioned great surprise, as neither
the teachers nor pupils wero aware
of the romance progressing under
their very eyes. The ceremony took
place in a parsonage at Redding,
which is the nearest railroad station
to the bride's old home. The bride
was given away by her brother, Jas,
Smith, who is an employe at the Che
mawa school. Hor sister. Alice, at
tended her as bridesmaid, and the
young woman's mother and step-fath
er were witnesses. After the cere
mony and a wedding supper at the
hotel, Mr. and Mrs. Potter left on the
overland for San Francisco. From
this place they will go to Mr. Potter's
ranch at Albany, Colo., after which
they will visit the World's fair at St,
Louis.
The bride is a charming young
woman, who has endeared herself to
I her schoolmates and teachers during

Trouble Breeders Subjected to
Rough Treatment at
CRIPPLE CREEK MINES.
They are Marched out of Camp and
Warned Not to Return.
Colorado Spring, Aug. 20. A
special to the Gazette from Cripple
Creek says: This afternoon 2000
citizens of Cripple Creek arrested S.
J. Hangs, Attorney Eugene Ely. and
Attorney A. C. Cole, together with
Mr. Hall, manager of the union store,
and some 15 others. The crowd di
vided into three squads, one taking
their prisoners to Barnard Creek,
where they were told to leave the
district. The other two squads took
their prisoners toward Canyon City
where they were treated in a like
manner. The greatest excitement
prevails in the district, and citizens
are declaring that there are more to
deport and will not be allowed to re
turn.
BULLETS OP. ROPE OS" THEIR RETURN.
The men were ordered to leave
with the following injunction: "You
men are not wanted in this camp and
you ate not going to be allowed to
live here. You do not seem to be
happy unless you can stir up trouble.
We have had trouble enough. If you
come back there will be either bullets
or rope for every one of you. Now
go and keep going."
Returning to the city, a part of
the crowd made an attempt on the
union store. Officers at first repulsed
the attack, but they were overpower
ed and about 20 men entered and
completely wrecked the stock. The
stock cost about $3000. The imme
diate cause of today's outbreak was
the starting up of the union store
under the name of the Inter-Mountain
Merchantile Co., and the report
that a number of deported union
men were on their way back to Crip
ple Creek from Denver.

00S BAY RAILROAD
rospects are Much Brighter for
its Eariy Construction.
LEADING TIMBER MEN
May Build the Road as an Outlet
for Rich Forests.
Portland, Aug. 20. The prospect of
Coos county getting that much-needed
and prayed for railroad which will en
able it to take its proper and natural
place among the rtate's counties seems
to be growing brighter. C. A. Smith of
Minneapolis is largely interested in the
county and has recently been in consul
tation with Santa Fe and Southern Pa
cific officials in an endeavor, it is under
stood, to interest them in the region and
obtain a promise that they will extend
their lines to the isolated timber hold-
. Mr. Smith admits that one object
his visit to the roast has been to
arouse the railroad interests to the Coos
opportunity but refuses to state what
success has attended his efforts.
Should the companies offer no en
couragement and refuses to make any
promises concerning future construction
Mr. Smith may construct a connecting
line himself. When asked why with his
large timber holdings isolated from
transportation facilities and with the
capital he conld interest in the project,
be did not build a line himself, here
plied :
"Well, I may be compelled to do some
thing of the kind."
Mr. Smith is stopping at the Hotel
Portland and is registered from Minne
apolis, where as the leading lumber
dealer of the region he employs 1,200
men. But he is interested in many tim
ber tracts over the country and has
forests of virgin fir, pine, spruce, hem
lock and cedar scattered over the north
west.
He baa just come from Coos county,
where he has 100,000 acres of fir, cedar
and sugar pine. In Linn county, close
to the heavy forest tires, he also has an
extensive tract, and while he is not
losing any sleep about it he watches the
progress of the flames with a good deal
of interest. He says the fires in south
ern Oregon have thus far done but little
damage.
"This coast is the place for the young
man," he said. "The states of Oregon,
Washington and California have a great
future. I have brought my son on this
trip, for I want him to learn the condi
tions in the lumber trade here. I have
sent a number of young men to this
coast. There is a good future here for
the timber business. Of course, lumber
will be manufactured for many years in
the upper Mississippi valley, but the
output is decreasing steadily. Last year
the product was 100,000,000 feet lea
than it was the proceeding year, and this
year it will be nearly that much less.
rhe output of white pine has decreased
from S00.000.000 to 300,000,000 feet,
which is an enormous f Hint off. This
means that the timber of the Pacific
coast is soon to come into the market.
What you must have is railway facili
ties, and the people should keep ever
lastingly at agitation for railway build
ing. I am certain that both the Vander
built and Gould lines will soon reach
the coast. Just where they will strike
it we do not know."
THE CREFF1ELD REWARD
. Y. Hurt Refuses to Allow His
Son to Accept Same.
Corvalus, Ore., Aug. 19. The $350
Creffied reward has been placed in the
hands or Sheriff Burnett, and the ?200
of this amount that was contrilbuted by
individuals will bo returned to the
donors on request.
The $100 offered by Benton reverts to
to the county.
The cause of this is that O. V. Hurt,
the father of the boy, Roy Hurt, who
discovered the Holy Roller leader and
caused his arrest, refuses positively to
aUow his son to accept tha reward. Mr.
Hurt declared that to permit any of the
members of his family to accept the re
ward would seem as though a hope of
gain was all that influenced his actions
n the matter. His position is being re
ceived with commendatory comment by
thoso who have witnessed the strange
chapters of the Holy Roller craze as
they unfold themselves and were brought
to a finish in the capture of the leader.
Creffield's Victims May Recover.

perintendent informs O. V. Hurt that

Hurt and his wife, Maudo Hurt Crof-
field and Sophia Hartley will probably

Hurst is firmly of tho opinion that all
were thoroughly victimized by CrefGold.
He says they all know everything they
did, but could not resist, or not ex
plain why they nctod as they did. Mrs.
Hartley is now at the Bohomia mines
aud although able to cook for six men,

her Bible hidden from relatives ad

Tho Salom Statesman of Friday says
"One of the; great pioneer history
makers of Salem, one whose namo has
appeared in tho columns of the States
man newspaper almost as many times
as an ordinary Sunday advertiser, who
takes a vacation every summer, one who
had become so much himself a part of
Salem's history that his absence will be
noted almost as much in the future as
it was during the past year, has gone,
and left the city of his adoption.
"This gentleman, whote other name is
written all over the public records of cer
tain offices in this city and county, usu
ally as Harry Dunn, occasionally as
John Doe, occupied a public position
during the past year, notwithstanding
he would have been willing to have de
nied his family pride to such an extent
as to have declined the honor had not
the public, represented by its all power
ful delegates, City Recorder Judah and
Marshal Doc Gibson, insisted till Harry
could no longer refuse, and he filled the
position neide the county jail to the
eatiefaction of an unforetful public.
"Bat it is all up now. History so far
as Harry Dunn is concerned will cease,
at least until Harry meets with some ac
commodating barkeeper in Roseburg,
and then Douglas county will begin to

Railroaders Have TroaMes of their Own.
There has been some disquietude
among the railroad men in Ashland ef
fected by the arrival here of. sevwral
trainmen who by right of seniority have
come up from Sacramento and bid in
runs out of this city There has been a
re-arrangement of runs oat of Sacramen
to and the runs out of Ashland are con

the service of the company, of course,
have chosen the better runs. The chair

McFarlan of San Francisco. Several
other prominent business men of the

been taken to make the establishment
of the bank an assured fact. It is ex

for business about January 1st.
While the personnel of the officers of
the new bank has not as yet been de
cided upon, it is generally understood
that 3Ir. McKarlan will be the cashier.
He is well known on the bay, having

Does Great Damage in St. Paul
and Minneapolis.
LOSS IN THE MILLIONS
Several People are Killed and Many
are Injured.
St. Paul, Aug. 2'. (3:30 A. 3L) Sev
eral persons were lulled, a number are
reported missing and 50 to 100 were in
jured, some fatally; business property
and residences were damaged to the ex
tent of perhaps f 1,000,000; the massive
steel bridges across the Mississippi were
wrecked and strained ; shade trees were
levelled and much other damage was
done in St. Paul and Minneapolis by a
tornado which broke over tle two cities
shortly after 9 o'clock last night.
Apparently, the storm was of a local
character, for as far as can be learned no
damage was 'done in the neighboring
towns. The storm was particularly
severe in the business districts of the
two cities. Windows were blown in and
roofs torn from immense wholesale ware
houses and the flood of rain which ac
ccmpanied the storm did immeasurable
damage to stocks of goods. Dwelling
houses, churches and schools also Buffer
ed greatlv.
Railroad traffic between St. Paul and
Minneapolis was completely cut off. The
street-railway systems of both cities
were prostrated. For hours after the
storm had spent its fury it was impos
sible to get into communication with
Minneapolis, the telephone wires being
demoralized. Rumors of great loss of
life were rife, but ou being tracked to
their sources were found to be incorrect-
LOf-S BY TO EX A DO GEOWS.
St. Louis, Aug. 21. A more thorough
estimate of the damage done by the tor
nado which decended suddenly OTer a
small area in North St. Louis late yes
terday was made today by business men
and others interestedln property in that
vicinity.
In addition to the loss of one life and
the injury to more than 150 persons, the
damage wrought by the storm is now es
timated at f 150,000. More than half of
that amount was done to manufacturing
plants, the remainder being divided ce
tween owners of residence property,
more than 100 houses being more or less
seriously damaged. On the I?at side,
in the Illinois towns of Venice and
Granite City, the damage is also greater
than at first supposed. Two lives were
lost in that vicinity, and many property
owners suffered losses running from
2000 down to $-50.
Portland is worried over appearance
of a bug that emits a fragrance not un
like that of dead rats, causing many res
idents to tear up their floors expecting
to find an accumulation of decaying ro
dent. & RICHARDSON
