The cave Is under the north bank, and Ita floor Is several feet above the present level of the river. The name of "Miller cave" has been .' riven to the cavern. ' Should electric railroad transportation -. be given this locality, the cave will be come a popular resori, una win proo- ably be -fitted up aa a comfortable reat . Ing place for travelers, as it would be connected by a rustic bridge with the Hull Run station, directly opposite. It Is a result of the rugged lava formation f that locality which Is In the big foothills of the Cascades and abemt half - way on the direct wagon road from Portland to Mount Hood. The cave la apparently a blowout of ancient date. Ita walls and roof are - composed of the peculiar natural ce ment mixed with large and small bould- ' ers and gravel that form the banks of the Bull Run river. Owing to the re markably Indestructible character of these banks the river Is so clear that the fish ale easily counted In Its deepest f ools, and a label on a can Is readable at he bottom of a 10-foot pool where the current is mow. The cave Is about' SO feet In diameter, and is nearly round. Its floor is al most Derfectlv level and covered with dry sand, and Its roof Is about 18 feet nign. in bygone years it was me meet ing place for the Indians of that region, and doubtless on numerous occasions it served as a place of defense in tneir tribal wars. A skull and faoe,, chiseled with won derful accuracy from pummice stone, was recently found in the cave by a cruiser for J. D. Laeey A Co. of Port land, who was cruising In the direction of Mount Hood. The skull shows Indi cations of centuries of wear, but Is still well preserved. It has a face rather flat with sham chin and low forehead but the features abow a highly Intelli gent Indian type. The sculpture after being cut has been burned, and one aide of the face discolored by over burning.

Kin delon, chief special agent of the South ern Pacific company, has a force of 100 secret service men along the lines be tween the district bounded by Santa Barbara, Sparks, Fresno and Ashland, waging warfare on tramps who try to steal rides on trains or seek sleeping quarters In freight cars. An average of from eight to 10 hoboes a day are grabbed In. San Mateo and Santa Clara counties alone by railroad detectives, and handed over to local authorities to be charted with vasrrancy or with at tempting to defraud the railroad com- Danv out of fares The reason for the active campaign Is to prevent potty pilfering or rreignt cars, a habit to which these work-haters are addicted. During the first six months after the nre. the roads were mresteii witn a small army of men who had been lnoc ulated against work, and they perpe trated many thefts upon the freight cars left on sidings.

Last year there was a total of 1307 raof ng days on all the tracks of the country. There was paid out to owners of horses by racetrack owners 15,601,657. The total number of races run was 8,011. The total attendance approximated 6,000,000. ' Estimated Total Cains. From the figures It Is estimated the aggregate amount of money bet at the tracks was 11 10,000,000. The gross profit to the bookmakers at the tracks approximated $16,000,000, and In pool rooms fully aa much more is handled and the profit to the bookies netted at least 120,000,000, as the handbook men are In the habit of "shaving" the odds so aa to make the profit on the given amount of play larger. Horse-racing in the United States is controlled by four associations. The Jockey clu'j. the Pacific Coast Jockey club, the "Ventern Jockey club and the American Turf association. The four compose a trust and horse-racing as operated by them, Is the basis of wide spread gambling. In Its operation,. mere is no combination so absolute as the racing trust. The principal own ers of the racing trust are August Bel mont, the New York capitalist; Ed Cor rlgan, the western turfman, and John Condon, the "blind boss' of Chicago. With them are associated a host of mailer fry Interested in local pool rooms and tracks.

While a resident of Pendleton he became notoriously open In bis per slstant attempts to "buck the tiger.' so much so in fact that his position on the city council was threatened If he did not stop his visits to Pendleton's gambling resorts. With Sheriff Beattle's Inactivity rela tlve to any move towards closing the Milwaukie club apparent to everyone, residents of Oregon City hope to force District Attorney Hedges into action. But here, too, Is another stumbling block. Sher ff Beattle and District Attorney Hedges are the closest of political and personal friends. It was frequently re marked at Oree-on City yesterday that the two actlnsr together could make short and decisive work of the Milwau kie club if they ao desired. Hedges Zs Club's Attorney.

Two months ago Zlmerman himself quietly opened the plant and continued operating it without notice. The fight was again taken up by the residents and the matter called to the attention of Mrs. Evans, market Inspector, who has given the proprietor until Monday to abate the slaughterhouse nuisance. When Mrs. Kvans visited the plant of the Zimmerman Packing company yes terday afternoon shs found the em ployes at work In the various depart ments, xne cold storaae was rilled with meat of all descriptions. Sausaee was In the course of preparation. In the killing room a hog had lust fallen under the ax and was scnioed in the presence of the Inspector. Down stairs in the offal room heaps of bones and hoofs were scattered around, mute evidence that work had been carried on a few hours before the inspector arrived. Some 20 sides of beef were hung in the killing room ready for removal to the cold storage. In a yard In front of the packing plant some 20 sheep awaited slaughter and a dozen cattle were cor ralled In the rear ready for killing. foreman Sid Talking. "We have been operating the plant for about two months," said the fore man when questioned by Mrs. Evans. "We slaughter from eight to 10 beeves a day and from 30 to 40 sheep as the trade demands. We are just beginning 10 jmcic nogs ana so rar nave Kinea only a few." Everything around the plant has been conducted in a cleanly manner and no fault can be found on that score. I'lentv of water Is used in washing the floors after a killing and the beef sheep and hogs show evidences of sanitary hand ling. While the odor of the offal room was increased by the steam to be al most unbearable to an ordinary per son, that in the other rooms was not greater than in a well conducted meat ma rue t.

Hev. J. R.

He said: Sheriff Beattle as police officer of this county has the power to stop ramb ling, at the Milwaukie club and should do ao. If he does not we Intend to see hat he does. If we are unable to com pel him to close the resort we will close t -anyway. This is a Question that has been vexing the community for two years and the citlrens of the county want it settled.

" There la no excuse for the officials to permit gambling at the Milwaukie club. Sheriff Word drove gambling out of Multnomah county and had Clacka mas officials wanted to stop it here they could have secured the evidence which Mayor Lane gathered In a raid he ordered aome time ago. I am sure Mayor Lane would, have given over the evidence freely had he been asked for it ana 1 Deiieve ne would lend men and assistance to Clackamas officials at this time If they found they could not nanaie tne situation alone.

Charon Wants It Closed. Rev. John M. Linden, castor of the First Baptist church at Oregon City, In hearty sympathy with the movemen and said he would give all the assist ance he could to suppress the Milwaukie club. He Is a newcomer at Oregon City and not as familiar with conditions as the other ministers and said he would rather allow the action of his oongre gatlon to speak regarding the public sentiment on tne AinwauKie ciud. "The congregation which voted in fa. vor of the request we sent to District Attorney Hedges and Sheriff Beattle was the largest that has attended church since I have been in Oregon City." said Rev. Mr. Linden. Every person present voted In the affirmative witn tne exception or two or tliree men. These came to me later and said that they did not wish to be understood aa being against the movement, but mis understood me and thought onlv mem bers of the church were allowed to vote on the proposition. They said they wanted to see the club put out of busi ness and offered whatever assistance tney couia renaer to accompnsn that "I came from Chicago where gam ming was rampant ior years, rne au thorities there have succeeded in ston ping open gambling and I believe that It can be stopped here. Anyway this agi tation win not do stopped until gam bling Is driven from Clackamas county.

I know citizens of this character in this county are in accord witn the move ment, and will not allow the matter to end untTi the officials end gambling." That the movement at Oregon City is not one only of the ministers Is shown hv the fact that some of the most prom inent men in the olty have agreed to serve on the committee. Among these are D. C. Latourette, president of the First National bank; John W. Loder, .lewyerr L. H. Andrews and C H.

Admiral Burwell heard tha shrieks and Jumped into the lake to swim to their assistance. He headed for a dark object that he thought was the canoe. When he reached It ' he found nothing more human than an old stump, standlns In shallow water.
