RIDEHALCH MAKE8 BIG GAIN IN CONTEST FOR QUEEN and the communication will be acted upon at that time. The city officials are quite confident that the property belongs to the -city, and Mrs. Kinney Is quite as sure she wilt be able to prove the legality of her title to it Albert Brundstrom and If. Soder- burg, fishermen, came nearly being drowned while fishing near Peacock spit yesterday morning. The weather was squally and the weight of the net that trailed behind the boat resulted In the capsizing of the craft C.

Salmon by the thousand are aaid to be perishing while trying to get over the dam in the Umpqua river at Ray's landing. The water Is reported as black with them, and it la said to be a novel sight to see them shooting Into the air in their efforts to surmount the ob stacle to the progress up the stream where they have selected spawning grounds. "I never saw anything like It before in my life," said Attorney George J. Cameron of Portland. "The water Is black with sulmon at that point and about 1500 fish were killing themselves trying to get over the dam while our train was there, which was only a few minutes. Later on, I sup pose, these salmon will be canned and dished up to the public. The author ities should certainly prevent this wan ton waste of magnificent fish In the Umpqua."

Diver Meyers yesterday made nine descents In an unsuccessful effort to recover the body of Miss Hope Clay ton. The diver worked oft the Packers' dock and a large crowd congregated at the wharf to watch him. Meyers said lust evening that the depth of the water at that point ranged all the way from 60 to 112 feet The bottom Is very rough, great boulders making it extremely difficult for a diver to walk along the bottom. The diver discov ered to his sorrow that the dynamite blast sent down by Deputy Coroner Pohl and D. R. Blount had exploded. The blast was exploded In 90 feet of water, and because of the depth there was no surface evidence of the ex plosion. Meyers states that the charge tore a great hole in the river bottom about 20 feet deep. He walked into this hole, losing his balance and roll ing over and over. From the Packers' dock to the can factory " wharf the diver went over every Inch of the river bottom and there waa no. sign "of the corpse of Miss Clayton. He says the, bottom current is very swift and be-j lleves that the body has been carried westward. Myers will continue the You will like MADAME. PERSONAL MENTION. Dr. J.
