FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1903. STAM PED ETQ ALASKA CROWDS LEAVING SOUND FOR TANANA RIVER. The Biggest Rush Since the Days of Nome Now On to the Land of Golden Promise Miners Getting Out $5 to the Pan. Taconia. Wash. Feb 27 There is In this city the biggest stampede to the north since the days of Nome. The next steamer to Skagwa will carry a crowd of Tacomans as well as men from other localities, all bound for the new strike on' the Ta nana. C. E. Taylor, connected with the trasportation deparment of the White Pass &. Yukon, left Tuesday evening for Dawson, but with the in tention of continuing on to Tanana. Mr. Taylor's presence is not required much before the opening of naviga tion, but the glowing accounts of the new strike were last week supple mented by a communication from-. John Scott, cashier of the White Pass Company, at Dawson. Mr Scott is known for a conservative man, and opposed to the stampede excitement which periodically sway those north ern camps. Thus his information to Mr. Taylor has resulted in the short ening of Mr. Taylor's stay iu Tacoma and a rush to the new diggings. Says Mr. Scott in part: Like the Klondike. "I have examined into the truth of the exciting rumors pouring back into Dawson from the crowds who have left there already, and at last am forced to the opinion that this is genuine in every particular, and gold is being taken from the ground as it was the first winter after the discov ery of the Klondike. I doubt no long er. Come in as quickly as you can and go there in the interests of us 1 both. For my part I cannot get away Pat Dickson writes 'Rampart Is de serted.

Because They Are for a Specific Pur. . pose. Nothing can be good for everything. Doing one thing well bring suc cess. Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing only. They're for sick kidneys. They cure backache, every kidney in. Here is undeniable evidence to prove It: Mrs. A. M. Weaver, of 115 N. A street, Cripple Creek, Colo., vihoae husband is euperintendent of the U. P. R. F. quarries, says: "Doan's Kid ney Pills are a remedy in which I have great confidence and I heartily re-endorse what I have before stat ed about them in our Cripple Creek papers. Some three years ago I gave them to our little girl, who was troubl ed with a weakness of the kidneys. A few doses checked the annoyance and in a short time after a continua tion of the treatment cured her. She has had very little trouble since, with the exception of when she caught a severe cold; then there were symptoms of a recurrence, but a few doses of the pills never fall to ward off an attack. 1 recommended them to a lady friend of mine some time ago, who used them and was greatly benefited. I keep them constantly in the house eo as to have them on hand in case of recurrences. I do not hes itate to advise any mother to use them in her family where necessity demands."

'a dollar to the bucket, and as high las I could reach It "Chenoa, Pedro and 13 other creeks head in a dome like the one back of Dawson, from which nil the streams seem to get their gold. It is In the foothills about 75 miles from the mountains proper. Elmer R. Brady, the attorney, writes that while the crowd this winter arrived late, there will be enough gold washed out in the spring to set the coast nfire again. Circle is Deserted. "He says: 'AH of Circle City is now on the ground, and new arrivals are pouring In. A town Is springing up at the mouth of Pedro. Provisions are selling high, and in many cases are being paid for by gold taken from the gravel in pans just as was the case in Eldorado in 1S97. All the miners who have holes down to bedrock have gold to buy with and to gamble with. Flour Is $50 s sack, and bacon dol lar a pound Great excitement and the greatest confidence thai the best mines have been struck since Eldo rado.' Tom Raney has written Dick Lowe's agent here that many pans show several dollars. Some of the richer creeks are but four feet to bed rock, and the miners are having dif ficulty trying to work them in winter open. Yet by panning in their cabins at night they are able to pay .ill ex penses." C. F. Collins registered at the Tour ist yesterday, has departed with a party of six for the Tanana. Mr. Col lins left the scene of the strike six weeks ago coming out on business of Importance, and is leaving with a great buch of powers of attorney from Tacoma citizens to be used in staking claims. Said Mr. Collins Powers of Attorney. "Yes. I am taking in a party and powers of attorney, though I did not propose to advertise that fact at all. I haven't much to say for publication. The fact Is when I left there six weeks ago there were not more than 100 men In all that section. We had found what was proved to be a good ground, and It was not proposed to create any excitement until we had got in with powers of attorney to take up what we had discovered. No. we did not consider this as "hogging" it. Simply availing ourselves of the fnilts of discovery, that's all. It is too late now to keep It secret, though On my way out I met scores of people rushing in from every direction as a result of the story spread abroad by a Jap whom we had neglected to bind not to tell. When he first told his story in Dawson and organized a party of Japs to go back with him. his story got into the papers. It was straight enough, but the miners of Dawson got together and threatened him with death unless he told the truth. Marchisi told all he knew, and undertook to guide the white miners also, and did. in fact, lead the way. which has, by this time, filled up the country," Saw $5 to the Pan. Mr Collins was asked as to the i values he saw for himself taken from j the ground. He went down the four shafts on Pedro Creek and saw as high as 5 taken from a single pan. without a blank anywhere. Better values were at that time reported from Lucille. Cheops and Chinoa, while prospectors were jut reaching bedrock on several other streams with excellent results. Timber is plenti ful. Several routes are known into the country, by way of Birch trom Circle City and Fort Yukon, by way j of the mouth of the Tanana from t Rampart, and by way of Forty-Mile from Dawson. Mr. Collins has receiv ' ed gratifying intelligence since hifl arrival on the coast several weeks ! ago. He declares it would be wis ! for those who have here advised him ' j of their intentions to depart for the ; I Tanana to consider well the step tbey j i are taking. The new dUeovery is ; many miles from civilization, and : hardships lie in the way with little: t assistance from the excited atam-1 ; peders. In a rash of this character it j j i? every man for himself, and for the time at least there is little tnclina ; linn to help a possible rival. ' i Mr. Collins left yesterday with bis , six friends. ' THE SHAFT! A LINGERING C0UGI NEW MAN AT STATE HOUSE , HAS EYES TO SEE. Governor Chamberlain Vetoes Amend ments to Pure Food Law Thinks Present Provisions Are Satisfac tory to the People. Salem. Ore.. Feb. 27. Representn-I tlve Olwell's bill for the amendment of the pure food law was sent to the bone yard today by Governor Cham berlain. His disapproval of the meas ure Is expressed In the following message: i "There has been very little com-t plaint made against the law as It now stands, but already great complaint has been made against the stringent provisions of the proposed law. So stringent is it that in the hands of an unjust and arbitrary commission er. It could be used to the great det riment of the state. "The present law is unquestionably comprehensive enough in us terms to protect the public against imposition, and can be enforced with much great er economy than is possible under the proposed revision. "The latter increases the salary uf the present deputy commissioner to $1200 per annum: authorizes the ap pointment of another at S12X per annum: the purchase and establish ment of a laboratory in Portland at $750: allows the dairy and food com missioner $250 for expenses Incurred by him In attending the national as sociation of state dairy and pure food departments held at Buffalo in 1901. and generally will be instru-j mental in largely increasing the ex-1 penses of enforcing the law I "It is well to protect consumers I, against adulterated foods, but the' law that we now have Is amply suffi cient for this purpose, and I can see no reason at present for the enact ment of a law that meets every possi ble condition that may arise and at the same time places a handicap upon industries which are being rapidly developed throughout the state. "The establishment of a laboratory is wholly unnecessary. This work has been done by the agricultural col lege, and ought to be done there In future. "If the dairy and food commissioner' attends conventions In nthpr states I he ought to pay his own expenses or stay at home. If such a precendent be once established, every officer in the state, no matter what department, he may be connected with, will seek at some time during his term to at-1 tend some convention each year and j make the state pay his expenses therefor Such a precedent ought j I not to be established, and will not with my consent." MRS CHAMBERLAIN. Old Rivals Meet. Cleveland. O., Feb. 27 Mueb in terest is being manifested in the in tercollegiate debate between Western Reserve University and Oberlin Col We which takes place here tonight This is the third debate between the two colleges. In the previous en foiinter each institution has scored on and consequently considerable interest attaches to the "rubber" Thf- Western Reserve debaters have tbe affirmative and the Oberlin men the negative side of the question. "Resolved. That the United States should not retain permanent control o the Philippines.' The American Wife of England's Col-, onial Secretary May Become a 1 Duchess, 1 London. Feb. 27 It has been seri-' ously announced in more than one continental paper this week that on. his return from South Africa Mr Chamberlain will be raised to the peerage as Duke of Birmingham For' a variety of reasons the report is re garded here as without foundation In the first place, it is believed that Mr. Chamberlain, like several other men prominent in public life in re cent years, cares little or nothing for a title. It is considered, however, very probable that in days to come his charming and tactful American wife will receive the high honor which was conferred first on Mrs Disraeli then on Mrs. W. H. Smith, aurt whirli more lately was offered and repist-' by Mrs. Gladstone. Tbe preuy notion of conterring on tbe wife tbe title which, tor various reasons, a famous husband may not care to accept is said to have been first suggested by Queen Victoria herself. Should this come to ia.5 in ' favor of Airs. Joseph Chamberlain, she will be in the peculiar position of being the first native-born American who has accepted a title from a Brit ish sovereign.

Feb. 27 A few months ago 27 Easterners arrived in this city nnu located on timber claims 25 miles east of this city. After building their cabins, etc., according to law, they returned to their homos and have since made the necessary visits to their respective claims. Saturday they again left this city for their claims, and arriving there, found that a party of people from Brownsville. Or., had jumped moat of their claims, taking possession and breaking into their cabins. Word was sent to the remainder of the partv m this city, who armed them selves and left Roseburg Sunday morning with the intention of regain ing their claims by force. The people here do not expect any serious trouble between the parties, but It Is likelv that if Timber Cruis er Thomas Strader Is found that both parties will deal rather roughly with hlra, as he is the cruiser who located the last parties after having built the cabins for the Easterners. He asserts his services have never been paid for. but all the Eastern parties hold receipts for money paid for the construction of their cabins. don Today Conference Held.
