(Special Dispatch to Tb Journal.) Nome, Alaska, Oct. 8. Five thous nd people will leave here within the next two weeks to spend the winter In Portland, Seattle, Tscoma and San Francisco. The steamer President, not due to arrive for two days, Is already old out and the steamers Northwest ern. Victoria. Umatilla and even the freighters will carry south larger num bers than ever before. Notwlthstand Inr this rush to the outside. Nome will have a "greater population this winter than lomerly. Hundreds of miners from ft Tanana district who have been unemployed this season on account of Jabo. troubles, are here ana win wont lavs this winter In this section. i Tbat Portland is rapldiy supplanting . Itself In the dace of Seattle and la coma with .-Alaskans Is illustrated by the fact that more than 8,000 of the 6.000 people who will leave Nome within the next two weeks will make the Rose City their place of residence during the coming winter montns. this conclusion was reached after careful Investigation, and Is largely the result of careful In quiry on the part of .Alaskan gold hunt ers who are firmly convinced that Port land and vicinity, like certain localities In Alaska, has developing country back Of it. Many who come to Portland from Alaska this winter will undoubtedly re main here for good. Such Is always the case where any considerable num bers of people make any one locality even a temporary home. A few months' temporary residence in any specific lo cality usually produces unforeseen things, and it is perfectly, fair to calcu late that at least one fifth of the total will remain permanent residents. Se attle and Tacoma gained rapidly after the Alaskan trade developed. Popula tions of both sister cities to Portland went ahead by leaps and bounds. At the same time the eommerclal bodies of each northern city spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, or caused such amounts to be expended In world-wide Publicity campaigns, setting forth that eattle and Tacoma were the only har bors for Alaskan intercourse. In the meantime Portland went about Inducing Alaskan trade along different lines. It was a well' recognised fact throughout Oregon -that Washington and Alaska must come to Oregon, and that, too. through Portland for food Stuffs and other products to supply the great northern country. 8oon the Alaskp.ns became convinced that by trading directly with Portland they could probably save large sums of money. With this end In view negotiations are even now under wav for the estab lishing of a regular line of freighters between Portland and Alaskan ports and when certain minor details are con cluded such conditions will be -a cer tainty. Aside from all this, however, is the fact that nothing in the world will help bring about such conditions so much as the wintering here of thousands of hustling, pushing Alaskans.

Mr. Noltner was born in oermany June 11, 1839, and came to the United States with his parents early In his boyhood, the family settling in Wis consin. He left Wisconsin for Callfor- la March March 15. 184S. arriving at San Francisco December 15 in the same vear. Xiearned Printer's Trade. Mr. Noltner learned the printer's trade after reaching San Francisco and was one of the first employes on the Alta, published in San. Francisco dur ing the early days of that city. Ho went to the Call in 1866 and worked on that paper until he left for Oregon Octo ber 6, 1867. Mr. Noltner was twice - married, his first wife being Miss Ellen Cox whom he married May 1. 1861. He married Miss Martha N. Williams March 1. 1866. His second wife died June 3,' 1892, Cornea to Oorvallls. Mr. Noltner began his newspaper ca reer in Oregon at Corvallis In 1869, when he was associated with James H. Slater, afterwards United States senator. He aterwards published the- Eugene Re view, being associated with Joaquin Mil ler, the poet, as his partner. Mr. Noltner was always a staunch Democrat, and Joined- the Breckenrldge wing of the party Hfc80. During the Civil war the postofflce flepartment for bade the passage of the Review through the malls on tho ground that the edi torial sentiment of the paper was treas onable.

In 1876, Mr. Noltner began 'the pub lication of the Dallv Standard in Fort land and continued its publication for 15 years. His last venture was the Weekly Dispatch, which he maintained ror rive or six years. "Complementary forts have been erected on the mainlaid.

Gaston, a prominent local dentist, came near being shot Inst night by his own daughter, when ho endeavored to force the contents of a whiskey flask down the throat of his dying wife. Dr. Gas ton, according to his 18-year old daugh ter, Hazel, had been drinking and en deavored to persuade his wife to drink with him.

Dr. Gaston at last used force in his en deavor to malce the dying woman con sume the spirits, and Hazel came to the rescue with a revolver, which she aimed at her father, threatening to kill him unless he desisted. A tragedy was only averted by the interference of Henry Gaston, a brother The Intoxicated dentist was held at bay by his daughter while she tele phoned to Paul Marston, tho capital ist, who Is related to the family.

I DAUGHTER FATHER PROSECUTION TO FOLLOW LIQUOR LICENSE SQUABBLE "Blumauer & Hoch and every other liquor dealer conducting a wholesale, retail and rectifying business under one license Is violating the law as con strued by the city attorney and as a citizen and taxpayer I have asked the city attorney to prepare complaints against all of them, which I shall sign If I can't get consideration on the liquor license committee I shall before the law. Every morning that these peo ple open their business they are break ing tne law and i lor one am going ,to see that It stops and I shall seo that It stops ror good." councilman w. Ti Vaughn. Incensed by what he calls ungentle manly conduct of the representatives of Blumauer & Hoch in their abuse or him through innuendo in the liquor license committee meeting yesterday. Council man W. T. Vaughn this morning took the matter up with City Attorney Kava naugh and criminal proceedings will bi commenced against the liquor dealers who are running wholesale, retail and rectifying establishments upon the pay ment of an $800 license. City Attorney Kavanaugh holds that under the new ruling which went into effect .July 1 of this year, liquor dealers engaged in three kinds or business must pay three kinds of licenses. Calls it Falsehood. "During the two and one half years I have been in the council," said Mr. Vaughn this morning, "f have never seen a committee subjected to the abuse heaped upon the liquor license commit tee yesterday afternoon. I have seldom witnessed such insolence as that dis played by some members of the liquor men's delegation. When Mr. Blumauer stated that the agitation against people conducting the kind of business he Is conducting originated with Crof ton, he is uttering a base ralsenoort. t am prompted by no one but W. T. Vaughn In my desire to see the, law enforced. There is one of two things to do either the liquor dealers must pay ac cording to their classification, or else the law must be amended. Aa council man, I shall oppose any effort to amend the present law: as a citizen I shall see that the present law Is enforced to the letter.

(United Preta t.eaaed Wire.) Chicago, Ofct. 8. Chicago is baseball mad. Judging from the crowds swarm ing around the grounds fighting for ad mission, clinging to cars and walking along the streets In the direction of the baseball park. It would seem as If all business vPSSr suspended. It is pre dicted fully 30,000 people will see the match game for championship of the world, and at least several thousand more will be turned away. The weather is ideal from the players' standpoint, but a chilly wind Is blowing across the diamond, which will make it little, uncomfortable for the fans. Notwithstanding the fact that the game was scneauiea ror z:su o ciock this afternoon, the advance guard began to arrive as early as t o'clock, and from that hour there was a steady stream of humanity, some blowing horns and waving flags, and others operating vari ous kinds or noise-proaucing instru ments. The crowd is even larger than that of the opening day last year, and the Jam at the admission gates is terrific. Ex tra forces of policemen have been de tailed to keep the crowd in order -and to prevent the crowd storming tne gates. It lias been definitely settled that Overall will pitch for the Cubs and "Wild Bill" Donovan will hold the slab for the visiting team. Both teams went through a course of practice this morning, each player appearing in his finest form and bubbling over with anx iety to enter the fray. THIS APACHE INDIAN DECAPITATED SQUAW (I'nited Press Leased Wire.) Phoenix. Ariz., Oct. 8. An Apache Indian named Z.oo-Aimee chopped off the head of his mother-in-law, 50 miles north of Globe. The news of the crime has just reached here. After decapi tating the squaw the Indian mutilated her body in a horrible manner and ex pressed his delight over the crime. It Is reported here that the murderer is in the custody of the Navajo county officials at Holbrook. against Blumauer & Hoch, but only as they enter Into the general condition of things. I know, and anybody else who will observe knows, that Blumauer & Hoch are doing as big a retail business as any saloon in town. I presume they are doing as much wholesaling and rec tifying as any other concern in- Port land. This discrimination is manifestly unfair, and for one I shall see that it is remedied.

Many to Pay. There are between 14 and 20 liquor houses in tne city or me same ciass as Blumauer & Hoch, and Vaughn main tains that each of them must pay $800 a year for retailing. $400 a year for wholesaling and $200 a year for rectify- JAP DEMONSTRATION FEARED AGAINST TAFT (Cnited Press Leased Wire.)

CARDINAL GIBBONS ON BOYCOTTS 1 5tV ' . 1 lt'-i CARDINAL OIBBONS, WHO HAS ING ORGANIED LABOR WHICH HAVE EXCITED MUCH COMMENT. (Soeelal DI(iateh to The Jonrnal.) - Now York. Oct. 8. Cardinal Gibbons has created much comment among la bor leaders by his artiole on Organized Labor that has appeared In the ad vance rheets of Putnam's magazine for October, Just Issued. The cardinal takes the view that boycotts should not be tolerated and that the individual work man has a right to work regardless of union affiliations. In part he says: "I am persuaded that tho system of boycotting, by which members of labor unions are instructed not to patronize certain obnoxious business hous. Is not only . disapproved by an impartial public sentiment, but that It does not commend itself to the more thought ful and conservative portion of the fiullds themselves. Every man is free ndeed to select the establishment with which he wishes to deal, and in pur chasing from one in preference to an other he is not violating Justice. But the case is altered .when, by a mandate of the society, he is debarred from buying from a particular firm. Such a prohibition assails the liberty of the purchaser and the rights of the seller, and is an unwarrantable Invasion of the commercial privileges guaranteed by the government to business concerns. If ouch a social ostracism were generally in vogue, a process of retaliation would naturally follow, the current of mer cantile intercourse would be checked, every center of population would be lng, Instead of one license of $800 a year. Whether liquor dealers are to be dis tinctly defined as comprising two classes wholesalers who sell to retail ers only and retailers who sell to con sumers only or whether they are to lemain as at present an pay no extra charges for conducting three kinds of business will be determined by a Bpecial council committee appointed yesterday afternoon. If Qouncilman Driscoll has his way the wholesalers who also sell at retail will pay only the highest li cense, according to statements he made in the lirjuor license committee meet ing. If Councilman Vaughn has any say In the matter the wholesalers who maintain a bar and do a rectifying busi ness will pay all three licenses. Councilman Vaughn some time ago asked the city attorney for an opinion on the classification of lienor licenses. At present the wholesale liquor dealers are permitted to operate a wholesale, rectifying and retail department on an $800 year license. At tho same time retail liquor men are compelled to put up $800 to conduct their business, but are confined to the retail class of busi ness only. That dealers who maintain a bar only are selling to other 'saloons In addition to the family trade was brought out at the meeting yesterday by ncveral admissions from liquor men. Should the committee define the dif ferent classes of saloon business tills will have to stop. Grow Scrappy. Several sharp clashes occurred dur ing the meeting between individual members of the council and the dele gation of liquor dealers. Attorney Mann, who represented the Blaumauer & Hoch Interests, declared that the present movement to classify the liquor business and compel the payment of all three licenses was persecution. His client. Sol Blumauer. interposed and asserted that Al Crof ton, formerly secretary of the Wholesale Dealers' and Brewers' as sociation, was the Instigator of "the movement from motives of' revenge. This was ; emphatically denied bv Vaughn who informed Blumauer that the matter had been up periodically for several years. When Vaughn insisted that the :tty attorney's construction of the law re- (Continued oc Page Two) EXPRESSED OPINIONS " REGARD dlvide.1.

"K.xperlenee has shown that strikes are a drastic and (t best a very ques tionable, remedy for the redress of the laborers' grievances.

SAFE CRACKERS AT WORK ON EAST SIDE Merrily the gang of safe crackers who have invaded Portland for the win ter season continue to ply their opera tions. Following closely upon the sen sational attempts to blow three strong boxes in various parts of the city last Saturday night, the crooks again turned their attention to the east side district last night, and for the second time with in a month endeavored to rifle the safe of the Sunnyside-Fuel company, Ayls-worth-and Espenhaln, proprietors, East Thirty-sixth street and Hawthorne ave nue. The crime was discovered this morn ing when the establishment was opened for business by one of the members of the firm and police immediately noti fied. Detective Hellyer being detailed on the case bv Inspector Bruin. The fact that the burglars were unsuccessful In forcing the Inner door of the safe, al though equipped with a full kit of tools of the most approved fashion, suggests the theory that the midnight marauders were either frightened away before having time to finish their work or are rank amjiteurs. Detective Hellyer, upon making an Investigation found that the thieves had broken into a tool house near the of fice of the Sunnyslde Fuel . company and purloined all implements necessary; to force a 'safe door: ' Cald chisels, drills, monkey wrenches and " several hammers were found scattered about the floor of the fuel office, indicating that for some reason the housebreakers were compelled to suddenly MtJsafety In flight without gathering: their imple ments. , . .,' . , , ATTEMPTS TO BRIBE A JUDGE IN COURT (Special Dispatch to The ..Journals) Kalama, -.Wash., .

Since the attempt to crack their safe several weeks ago, Aylsworth & Espen haln have refrained from leaving any money In the strong box, and as an ad ditional protection against the destruc tion of the safe with explosives have' made it a rule not to lock the outer ' door. Despite this, however, the crim inals were unable to force the steel in ner door, although an expert peteman" would ordinarily have no difficulty In drilling the metal barricade. A peculiar feature of the case is the fact that the safe crackers, apparently in sore straits for money, carried away 11 pennies which they found in a desk drawer, a poor remuneration for the " labor and danger attendant upon the crime. The thieves are also , found to have broken into Peterson & FAueette'a gro cery at East Thirty-fourth street and Hawthorne avenue, but thf.only thinge missed this morning werePtwo water melons and two boxes of cigars. It is the opinion of Detect iv Hellyer that the criminals are youths residing In the neighborhood, who may bo un der the instruction of a professional.
