Sam Blackburn, the Alaska mining man who is In North Yakima hunt ing a wife, Is meeting with much suc cess as fur as offers are concerned, says the Yakima Republic. Since the Republic printed the last story con cerning the man he has received in the neighborhood of 20 letters and no end of telephone calls. He says Yakima girls write nice letters and he Is pleased with the at tention shown him. He is heartily convinced of the merits of advertis ing und remarked In a casual way thut the Republic reaches all the peo ple, because his letters came from people In every walk of life. Some of the letters received are funny. One "charming little widow" asked the good natured Sam If he would enter any objection to six chil dren. "Tlu-y are dear little things," she writes, "and I know you would love them. Their papa has been dead only a year and the little fellows are so lonesome without him. If you should decide to locate in North Yakima the children would be very little bother to you. "This Is a good commuunlty In which to rear them. I know you would be very proud of them. Three are girls and three are boys. The oldest one Is 8. You see they are quite matured and would, In a very short time, be self-supporting. Please let me hear from you right away. I am anxious to see you and have a big, long talk with you. The children send love and best wishes. "P. S Willie has a sore throat. If you come out this afternoon would you mind bringing out a bottle of Mrs. Wlnslow's soothing syrup?" Mr. Blackburn is In the country to day looking for land with Jack Ma her. This morning's mall brought five more letters to the popular Alas ka man. He s saying little, but ap pears to be thinking hard. He says he Is much pleased with the country and says he will In all probability set tie down here and become a true Yakima booster. suite RMttry Now Sanitary.

Pameiia Lake Xonr ML Jefferson Has Dlsapiteared. News was brought to this city last Saturday by Tom Smith of Stayton, which will no Joubt be received by the Salem rod und line enthusiasts as a real bit of hard luck, owing to the fact that it Involves the complete de struction of one of the finest fishing spots in Oregon, known as Pamella lake, near Mr Jefferson, on what is called the Bunch Grass mountain, says the Salem Journal According to Mr. Smith's statement there remains only the dry bed in which the body of water formerly stood. li After Inventory Clearance Sale We are closing out all odds and ends in the sundry line at a big saving. You will find them on the cen ter table, and the prioe is about one -ha 1 f . THE DRUG STORE THAT SERVES YOU BEST Pamella lake covered quite a space It being one-half mile wide and about two miles lond, with apparently no outlet, the water being freezing cold and very clear In the fishing season the banks were seldom unoccupied by the lovers of that sport, and some of the finest specimens of th especkeled beauties ever exhibited in this city were caught In that lake. The news of the lake's disappear ance was given to Mr Smith on Mon day, the 16th. of last month by two trappers situated up in around Mt. Jefferson, they having made a trip to Stayton, and at the time they had passed that point they saw thousands of fish, principally trout, lying dead. and animals of every dlscrlptlon feed ing on them. The two men could form no euir- gostlon as to the cause of the water leaving Its bounds, but from the ex amination made, they found quite a mrgo crack In one of the walla through which the water undoubtedly paased ejn It is thought by those at Stayton who are thoroughly acquainted with the actions of the Santlam river, that the extremely high water which pre vailed In that river several deeks ago. was due to the large volume of wn ter released from Pamella lake. If such is the case, the Santlam river must have received a good many lake fish. "Well," said the young lawyer, af ter he had heard his new client's story, "your caso appears to be good. T think we can secure a ver dict without much trouble." "That's what I told my wife," said the man. "and yet she insisted at first thot we ought to engage a first class lawyer." Philadelphia Press.

THIEVES ARE SENTENCED. William Tripp Gets Three Yenrs. Pal tiQC free on Parole. William Tripp, one of the box car robbers arrested at Hermlston a few days ago, will go to Salem for a two years' stay in the penitentiary, while his pal, Bert F.llllnt, will go free upon parole. This afternoon Elliot and Tripp were arraigned In court and both pleaded guilty to the charges against them. Thereupon Judge Bean Impos ed a two years' sentence upon each, but ordered that Elliot be admitted to parole. He gave Elliot his free dom because he had turned state's evidence and thereby cinched the case aganllt his partner. Buck to Be Tried.

Con sequently Buck will be tried out at the opening of the Jury' session Mon day and Hayes' trial will come Im mediately afterwards.

McNeelan of Portland, made a trip recently to Panama, has returned t o Portland very favorably Impressed with the country and the work that the Unit ed States government Is doing there, says the Oregon Daily Journal. Dr. Pettlt and Mr. McNeelan also bought considerable timber land below the City of Panama, which, he saya, can be secured with a good title and at very reasonable figures. The timber that Dr. Pettit bought is hardwood that will be very valu able within a few years. It Is quite accessible and thought by Mr. Pettlt to be a fortunate purchase. Although the tract acquired has not been sur veyed the physician says his holdings In Panama timber lands can be esti mated in square miles much easier than In acres The party spent three weeks on the canal zone. According to Dr. Pettlt the cities In the canal zone are clean er and more sanitary than Is the city of New Orleans. The work on the canal project is In a very satisfactory condition, and he says there Is no longer any difficulty In obtaining la bor. About 6.000 men were employed by the government at the time Dr. Pettlt was In Panama. The steam slievels could excavate faster than the trains could carry away the dirt. "The material taken from the canal Is used to fill the swamps about Col on, Panama and other cities in the canal zone," says Dr. Pettlt. "There are no longer any dangers from yel low fever or malaria, and the mosqui toes, that were for so long the con firmed pest In Panama, are scarce. The social life of the Americans at Parfama Is a pleasant one, and many people have gone there to live, and tvlll make It their home for the rest of their lives, undoubtedly." Dr. Pettlt and his party Journeyed far Into the Interior and saw how the natives live In their crude villages In the forests. The party went by way of Xew Orleans. one of the most up-to-date In Boise. Three years ago Mr. Bonnettl vis ited Boise and looked over the city, intending to go Into business here. After a careful Inspection he decided that Boise was not the place for him and went to Pendleton, where he es tablished a store. It took him three years to discover that Boise was not such a bad place after all and accord ingly he sold out In the Oregon city and returned here. He had not been here for three years until his recent arrival and he was greatly surprised at the lmpovementsthat had been 'made during his absence. BOXETTT AT BOISE CITY. MINISTERS ELECTED.
