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.

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.

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.
