Valdes Will Be Scene of
V - Next Stampede,
Pioneer Steamboatman of Yukon
Tals of Cond.ticns in the
Gold Fie.ds,
. .Captain William Marsh, one of the pi
oneer steamboatmen of the Yukon, has
arrived in the city for the winter. Mr.
.Marsh hold the record of bringing a boat
up the Yukon later than any other man In
j the North. The light passenger steamer
Thistle under his command was forced
i up the river, and arrived at Whitehorse
on November 7. He said upon leaving
Dawson the liver was filled with ice. At
:: times gr eft fields of slush and ice eoro-
"oletely choked, up the stream. At every
opportunity the staunch little craft was
; forced up the river Under full steam.
Mile aftsr mOe was left behind. The
'juventy" passengers expected that each
' day would be the last to run and that
" "they would be Ice bound. The upper end
. of Labarge' closed and the boat bucked Its
. waythrough two Inches of hard Ice. On
arrival at Whitehorse the liver closed In
a few hours. The race of the steamer
with, the cold wave Is remarkable. The
r-'' -aister boat of the Thistle, the L Franc.
was frese in the ice at Stewart a half
. ; day after passing the Thistle on the down
trip. -
. CONDITIONS IN THE NORTH.
"During the summer the La France
made two trips about 800 miles up the
Felly. Borne good pay has been unearthed
: i at the .headwaters of the river. There are
v - also gome trappers . and several tribes of
Indians In that 'country, which create a
demand for supplies, ;Tp the Stewart
Duncan creek has oorne.to the front, and
several hundred .miners h;ve been operat
tng there this summer. iThls district was
' . , brought in tor prominence -y-"rhe holding
up of some Swedes at -Whitehorse who
had 121,000 worth ;ofoId' dust In their
possession and were frying to get out of
the country without (Maying royalty. Wheti
- he dust was seised by the custom ofti
' cials, they explained that they had mined
H at the head of the Stewart River. The
Incident started a' stampede- for that sec
tion, with the result that some other rich
"diggings, were discovered. The placers up
the Big dulmon have not turned out as
good as. wasj anticipated in the early paf-t
f 'tWWason.' Nothing Is being done
With,' the, Sfpper ledges up the White
River and 'around Whitehorse. Things
will too verdad In the Yukon this
;wtoter,'V.;,T
NAVIGATION AFFAIR8.
"The season has been a prosperous one
- T6T1UJe'feaitcts.,ur&s- -White fs
Company had its entire fleet of 12 boats
In "conSmlssIon. 'The LaFayette and the
. Thistle, the two' new Calderhead ' pas
senger boats, were out for business and
X gave the older company a run tor Its
' J.T.POheyr; At one time fares were eut to
$10. The Prospector and the Caeca were
' also opposition' boats.' 'Several of the
lower-, river boats also Intruded on the
. upper river run.- While peace conditions
have prevailed on the lower river, among
the boats of the big companies, from the
present outlook there will be war to the
knife next season. The consolidation of
: the Alaska Commercial Company and the
Alaska Exploration Company into the
Vanhetpt Qanirclal Company, has ere-.
. aiea & commercial war witn tne wortn
American-' ivTradlng & Transportation
Company. Both of these corporations
own (l aen or steamers, and are strugt
gltag to .control the trade of the whole
Yukon kbasln. Both are backed by mil-.
- lions, and when the battle commences it
will be one of extermination.
- NEXT BOOM AT i VALDES. '
From all Information obtainable it is
1 safe to say that a great rush will be
headed for Valdes In the spring. It is
' . known that vast sums . of -money are to
be expended in the development of the
mines and the building of railroads. Some
of the greatest -financial institutions In
the world have invested In the section,
and In the next few years millions of
dollars will be expended. The copper
properties in that section are the richest
in the world. The gold production of
..tlitXwitpjjmn been gratifying,
this season, and some good, prosperous
ramps are bound to spring up in the near
future. The country Is known to be the
richest o far discovered In the North.
Those best Informed predict that " ihe
largest town in Alaska will grow up at
this point. It Is the logical gateway to
the Yukon country, and can be reached
at all times of the year."

READY FOR THE
DRYDOCK CASE
Organized Labor Is Confident o
Winning.
The case ef W. E. Roberts and George
M Ortun vs. the Port of Portland Com
mission and Robert Wakefield will come
up for hearing In the district court to
morrow, and the suit Is being looked for
ward to with more than ordinary Interest
by organised labor.
The case is teiug brought by the Fede
rated Trades Council to test the lsgality
of the decision by the Port of Portland
Commission to build the drydock at Van
couver Instead of in Portland.
The building of the structure will mean
the disbursement In wages alone of about
70,000, and the labor unions of Portland
believe that they are entitled to their
share Of It. They also are sufficiently
patriotic to contend, that the merchants of
Portland should receive some pecuniary
reward resulting froBi 4he construction of
the enterprise. They hold that It Is the
taxpayers' money of this municipality
which made the enterprise possible, and If
the business men and tabor organizations
are not entitled to Some profit resulting
therefrom they will have to be shown the
reason why.
HAS NO SITE.
One of the reasons given for building
the drydock In an adjoining state was
that no site could be procured In Portland
harbor. Labor leaders and others Investi
gated this matter thoroughly and say that
they can effectively prove the fallacy of
such an argument. Fully half a dozen
choice sites, they assert, could easily have
been secured by the mere formality of
asking. The Federated Trades also claim
that the Port of Portland Commission
has done the harbor an irreparable Injury
by publishing to the world that this city
is without a site for the building of a
drydock, when no statement oould possi
bly be further from the truth. They argue
that every legitimate effort has been made
by the various commercial organizations
in tha city to encourage shipbuilders to
locate here, and the fact that the Port of
Portland Commission aarertises that Port
land has no site on which to build an
ordinary drydock s a direct blow at the
city a welfare. Tney are aeairous oi prov
Ing to the world that shipbuilding can be
conducted on an extensive scale here, de
spite any assertions to the contrary.
- CONFIDENT OF WINNING.
- EsSrtsJo ; Attorn. :fJunberUn has been
retained as counsel by the Federated
Trades and Is now busy preparing his side
of the case. He believes, that he will be
able to have the decision of the commls
slon and Contractor Wakefield set aside
and that the drydock will yet be built
here. He says that the statutes are plain
ly In his favor.
Labor people also believe that their side
of the case was materially strengthened
by the resignation of M. Blackwell of
De&ute as cufiBumns; ensmvt-r iwi wc
commission on the drydock. They give
out the impression that iney believe some
crooked work has been done In "Den
mark" in connection with this whole af
fair, and that some surprises are in store
for the general public before the case Is
disposed of In court. They are busy
making preparations for Tuesday.

SCOTT WILL MAKE
A HARD FIGHT
Groundwork of His Campaign Has Been
Prepared Through a Salem
Writer's Article.
SALEM, Nor., 24 ."The ground work
for Harvey Scott's fight for the United
States Ssnatorshlp has been laid, in the
Oregoalan's lien M.nd article, sent In "by
the Salem correspondent of that paper."
This was the remark of a gentleman
Ik,? 5h.'ta :ou",'"'( SHI
reading the article In questl
on in yester
day's issue Of that paper. Discussing the
matter further, this gentleman stated that
this pretended '-xnosltlon of the land
matters was but an excuse to begin a
systematic fight against Gov. T. T. Geer's
Senatorial aspirations, and in the interest
of Harvey W. Scott's candidacy. Con
tinuing, he said:""
"Mr. Scott to a candidate, and he evi
dently considers Gov. Geer his most
formidable opponent, and for this reason
it seems to me. the big Portlanu dally Is
bringing up these land matters on which
to base a fight against the Governor. The
editorial In today's Oregon ian shows that
the Governor Is to be held accountable for
everything that 'may be shown as being
wrong in the Stater land Deiartment, al
though the Governor Is only one member
of a board of three members, and has
only one of three Votes on all questions
coming up for action in that department
GOVERNOR, USED TO IT.
This is not the -first time that matters
in the Land ! Department have been
raked up, and "the Governor charged with
being alone responsible, for the conditions
there existing. Last Spring several efforts
were made ia-'thig direction, and in some
quarters it Is heiteyed ptUe Governor's de.
feat at ; the- State? 'convention could be
directly traced to these attacks on him.
GEER.. tOOMS i P.
What figure, these attacks on the Gov
ernor will cut i the Senatorial contest it
Is difficult t5 predict. Geer's candidacy
for the United; States Senate, based as it
Is on the popular vote at the June elec
tion, is here generally believed to be a
strong one,, and many of his friends be
lieve he wtn.be elected in spite of the
fight made on him by the very people who
are responsible, for tne Mays Act under
which law na went before the people and
secured their indorsement for the Sena
torial toga and who now wish to ignore
that law But there are others, friends
of the Governor, who do not believe he
will be successful at this time. These
people and they are well Informed on po
litical conditions In this State assert that
the Senatorial plum will go elsewhere;

A prominent grain man,' In speaking of
the wheat situation to a Journal repre
sentative today, said:
"I see by one of the Tacoma papers
that it Is very likely thit wheat price
will eventually reach XI a bushel before
the season Is over.
"I do not think for myself that quota
tions will advance to that flaure, but
that the top of the ladder of prices has
about. already been reached.
"Of course, the demand tor wheat I
quite brisk at this time, but It Is not anyj
more than at this period 01 tne year

for yourself just about in what condi
tion the market, Is. " Id thtrfort at the
present time are" -a number Of "disengaged
ships. Charters have gone down until
they are not bringing one half the price
they were last season. Then there were
no disengaged vessels; every ship that
entered the river was under chartr and at
a good rate. T he average charter price
for last season was about Si shillings,
while this year ship go begging at li
shillings."

suspended by Collector Stratton "on com
plaint of cigar men, who smy he prom

leged he has taken money for promises
he could not keep. - -
One reason why Th Journal has
rspldly gained circulation i that H Is
the onty paper In Portland th dam
to print the news.
that some one of the other aspirants will
secure it.
MATTHEWS' 8TORT STIRRED THEM.
' The gtory ef George "WVTMeBriae'a can
didacy, with W. F. Matthews as his
manager, printed in Thursday's Journal,
caed considerable comment here,
and
many were the people who asserted that
The Journal had at last named the can
dldate who would be successful. Mc
Bride, they argue, would be a splendid
compromise candidate. He would secure
support after C. W. Fulton's chances
would go "a glimmering" (and no" one
here thinks for a moment that the Astoria
man has the' ghost of a show for sue
cess) and Geer's friends also are be
lieved to be friendly to the man from St
Helens In preference to any others in
the field. McBrlde's election, however,
is not expected until a long and bitter
contest on the i.oor of the Legislature has
preceded it, and only as a measure to
prevent a vacancy In Oregon's seat in
the upper branch of wongress.
OTHER CANDIDATES.
Mr. Scott's aspirations are not meeting
with much support here, and his paper's
continuous opposition to Marlon County
men, measures and Interests Is not likely
to make him many friends in this sec
tlon of the Willamette Valley.
Solomon Hirsch would be more rea3lly
supported here, as would W. D. Fenton
should he become an active aspirant for
the honor of succeeding Senator Simon
The candidacy of R. D. Hume, while ac
knowledged, meets with little encourage
ment.
BOURNE TALKED ABOUT.
Another candidate who Is attracting the
attention of makers of senators, and who,
It Is predicted " toy prominent politicians
here, will cut a large figure In the con
test. Is Jonathan Bourne of Portland. HI
is credited with being a good organizer
and a determined fighter, and will proba
bly be able to make a good showing. In
fact, many consider him here as one of
the strongest and most formidable can
dldates in the field.
TONGUE ALSO huNS.
Congressman Thomas H. Tongue's
name Is again being used in that connec
tlon. Members of the Legislature who
aspire to Mr. Tongue's seat In Congress,
It is urged, will readily desert their re
spective candidates and Join forces to aid
Mr. Tongue in securing the election to
the Senate.
