MILLION DOLLARS IN GOLD BARS Will Form a Part of the Colorado Mineral Exhibit at the World's Fair, World's Fair Grounds, St Louis, June 25. One million dollars worth of gold bars, jus as they come from the smelter, will form the apex of the beautiful pyramid of Colorado mineral products which is to form the central figure of the exhibit from that state in the Mines and Metal lurgy building at the World's Fair In 1904. "There will be more actual value in this exhibit," says Captain George W. Thatcher, commissioner in chief of the World's Fair from Colorado, than there was ever put into an ex hiblt at any exposition. ThlB pyra mid, the plans for which have already been drawn, wil lbe built to Bhow every mineral product of the state, including gold, silver, coal, iron, clay, etc. It will take some money to pro tect that, million dollars in gold. It w-11 have to be guarded by a strong, well-armed body of men, both day and night It is our purpose to have a large burglar proof safe to keep the gold bars in at night, and trusty men will keep up their vigil over them all the time. The cost of this exhibit will be enormous. The inter est on the $1,500,000 for six months at 5 per cent will alone amount to $12,500, which is almost as much as the state of Massachusetts proposes to appropriate for her World's Fair exhibit as a whole. Six- special guards to stand watch over the ex hibit, at $3 each per day, will cost for the six months, $2,1966." ENGLAND 'S KING HE BLEW OUT HIS BRAINS SALOONKEEPER TOOK PISTOL ROUTE TO HEREAFTER.

Mills, of San Francisco, head of the land department of the Southern Pacific, is In Portland for the purpose of supplementing the ef forts of the federal and state author ities in protecting the forests of Ore gon against fires. The Southern Pacific owns about 1,100,000 acres of valuable timber lands in different sections of Oregon, and It is the intention of the com. pany to establish a thorough patrol of the timber belt this summer. An other object of Mr. Mills' visit to Portland at this time is tbe creation of one or more permanent reserves Speaking of his visit, Mr. Mills said to a press representative: "One of my special objects 1b to arrange for a more effective patrol of our timber lands. It is my purpose to establish a continuous patrol along the forest lands of the com- pany. I shall divide the timber lands of the Southern Pacific into districts and provide a superintend nt for each district. There were 10 districts last year. This year the number will be doubled. "The demand for timber is con. centrating on the Pacific coast, and while the amount of merchantable timber may appear enormous to piO' neers of this section, It really. 1b not so. There ls no such timber in the world as we have Here. The largest body of virgin timber in the world to- day 1b in Oregon ana wasnington, and it is here that the world's sup ply is to come from. Oregon timber is wanted in all the markets of the world. There will be a growing de mand from the Philippines alone. For piling purposes Oregon and Washington fir has no pompetitors., "Another object of my visit Is to arrange for several more permanent forest reservations. The Southern Pacific already has a 27,000 acre re; serve on the Mohawk river, and it is my purpose now to arrange for a reservation of 105,000 acres on the Sluslaw river, and perhaps one of two smaller ones. This timber will not be touched for many years to come." . i 1 About 150 bales of Lewis county, Washington, hops, were sold last week .at 15 cents. j presented itself, and considering all the circumstances, his majesty may be said to be progressing satisfactor ily." Officials having the matter in charge, met this morning and defi nitely decided that Friday's proces sion should not take place. Favorable at Noon. It was unofficially announced at noon that the king was progressing favorably. He was then awake and suffering no pain. From the highest sources, however, the news concern ing his majesty is altogether pessi mistic. Prince Leopold of Bavaria, Arch duke Ferdinand of Austria, and Prince Albert of Belgium, left Lon don by special trains today, en route for home. Doing Well After Dinner. An official bulletin, issued at 2 o'clock this afternoon, reads: "The king bas passed a comfortable morn ing. His condition 1b bo far satlsfac tory." This Report Is Bad. On high authority, it is learned the Icing's physicians are unable to offer any encouragement. His life hangs by a thread. The tubeswdescribed in the accounts of the operation are not for drainage purposes, this authority states, but to replace a section of the bowel which was removed. Nobody is able to live long with tubes so placed and the only hope Is to remove the tubes, draw the bow els together and sew them. The chances of such an operation being successful are bo slight that they are barely worth considering. The royal family has been inform ed of the real state of the case and that the. possibility of the king's re tain the king's vitality. Tho Princess Christian was called to tho palaco at 2 o'clock this afternoon. By the king's special desire the coronation honors will bo published tomorrow, as arranged. In Case He Recovers.

The official six o'clock bulletin says: "His Ma jesty passed a fairly comfortable day, his general strength is well maintain- td and there are no symptoms caus ing special anxiety." Gambling on King. Lloyd's is more optimistic. This afternoon they insured tho king's life for the remainder of the week at 50 per cent. Prince of Wales Presided.

NOTHING NEW IS HEARD FROM TRACY AND MERRILL A Vaucouver, Wash., despatch says that nothing nas Deen nearu from Tracey and Merrill, the escaped convicts, since last Sunday night, when they are known to have made a raid on the farm house of Fat Mc- Gulre while the latter was away from home. The desperados are now well supplied with food for sev eral days and it la believed that they are still hiding in tho woods in the vicinity of Lewis river awatlng an opportunity to cross, although it Is possible that they have passed on as the country has not been thoroughly guarded of late. Tho posse is fast fading away and but half a score of tbe original enthusiasts still remain with the chase. Sheriff Marsh has announced that he will make no fur ther move to capture the convicts unless they appear within the borders of Clark county. It now seems very improbable that the escapes will be recaptured, as they are in a territory where Merrill lived for some time and which he knows thoroughly.
