Coming Hack to Eastern Oregon. 1 VASHlTO, Williamson I'rpes Claim ot State for Irrigation. Washington, Nov. 8. Representative elf ct J. N. Williamson, of Oregon, is in Washington for a ftw days, getting ac quainted in those government depart ments which have direct supervision over matters of interest to Eastern Ore gon, lie lias been conferring with rfficials of the Geological Snrvey, the Department of Agriculture, the land office and Secretary Hitchcock's office, extending his acquaintance, and famil iarizing himself with departmental methods of doing business. More than all else, Mr. Williamson is urging upon the several offices the claim of the State of Oregon for immediate recognition under the irrigation law passed at the last session of Congress. He decla-es irrigation is the trieateat issue now be fore the people of his district, and in view of the large amount contributed to the irrigation fund bv Oregon, exceeded only by the contributions of Oklahoma and North Dakota, the srate has a just claim for an early return. Mr. Wil damson finds the department proceeding cautiously in an endeavor to locate the initial projects in vicin.ties where the natural conditions insure suc cess, and a quick teturn of the money invested. At the same time he insists that there are no more favorable sites nor more promising projects anywhere than can be found in Eastern Oregon. Americans' Hig Success.

SIIOl- ON MAIN STKKKT, ODe evidence of the superiority of Eastern Oregon's mining district's ores over any of the other new sections which have been opened up in the past few years is the return here of many opera tors, who left for those fields. There is scarcely a man who went trom here to the Thunder Mountain country but what is back again perfectly satisfied to re main here. Many others who went to Alaska have returned and do not hesi tate to say that the chances are better in Eastern Oregon than there. Nearly all the little hamlets that sprang into life over the Thunder Mountain rush are now deserted. The town of Roose velt, which, it was claimed, would soon take on the proportions of a city, has scarcely aa inhabitant today. One reason assigned for this state of affairs is that the Tnuuder Mountain boom was started on top of abjut 10 or 15 feet of snow. The great strike had been made just at the opening of Winter and with the coming of snow there was no way of disproving the tales of fabu lous wealth reported to de beneith ihe soil of lhat country. It remained for the warm Spring days of the following years to expose the ra d that had been practiced by a few tctive and anxious boomers. The result was the rush out of the district was greater than the rush in, as many of the old-timers left in dis gust also. Today Thunder Mountain is scarcely spoken of, while the Sumpter gold fields are becoming more prominent and valuab e every day. Thi i fact is having its effect upon ev ery town in the district. Sumpter, Bourne, Granite. Greenhorn City and many otl.er smaller hamlets are growing rapidly, and in these places it is almost an impossibility to find a vacant resi dence to move into. The hotels are all overtaxed to accommodate tiie floating popula'ion. Ex. Heppner, Oregon Alaska's diold Output. Washington, Nov. 8 Director of the Mint Roberts today made public his final statement of the gold output of Alaska for the last 10 months. These figures, which are basrd on th? receipts at San Francisco, Seattle and the Selbv refinery, show a total of $18, 870. 075, as follows: Klondike (Canadian), $13, 8(11, 005; Nome, $5,008,(180. This total is something over $4,000,000 in excess of the Alaska output for the entire calendar year 1901, the figures for that year being $14,075,075. In the out put for the last 10 months is included $250,000 expected to arrive from the Klondike before January 1, and $1,350, 000 expected from Nome. Transact a General Banking Business.
