GAMBLING AS IN FORTY-NINE But Brass Filings Take ti Flace of the Gold Dtist of the Early Days Probably the most attractive feature at the MU'.wlnter Exposition will bo the old log cabins In the '49 mining camp, The proprietors of this enterprise have secured the cabin that United States senator George C. Perkins built and lived In at Thompson's . Flat, BuUe county. The cabin now belongs to Ma jor FrankyMcLaughlln,; of Orovllle.,on Whoso mining properly it has been standing for many years. Senator Per kins has given permission to exhibit his old home, and hascertlfled in writ ing that he alone built and lived in the cabin 3S years ago. Another- cabin that will certainly catch the, eye and awaken long slum bering memories is the one built by, and In which lived the millionaire, John Mackay. It was while he lived in this cabin that Mackay made his first big Btrlke. He, also, has furnished a cer tificate that the cabin is the genuine article. These cabins, as well as those of Mark Twain, Major Downle, the noted bandit Joaquin Muriatta and Alvlpza Hayward, hav been turned into perfect museums, wherein are displayed relics of olden times when mining was In Us primitive state, ' . - v The promoters of the '49 Mining Cariip have made strenuous but fruitless ef fc.its to secure from the state th cabin In which lived James . Marshall he discoverer of gold in California. The cabin is located in Cnlomn, --Eldorado county, and the government, will not permit- of Its being moved. However, the visitors to the '49 Mining Camp will gee a facsimile Of the cabin and the Isabella 'grapevine surrounding!!. - All the interesting and important Imple ments used by Marshall have been gath ered and will be exhibited in his cabin in the mining camp. There is his sad dle, a quaint, old handsewed and made affair; then there is his level, a compn&a, I an anvil, and a score of other things made by hlmstlf, This Bhow is most Interesting. The fort built by General Sutter, which has been standing outside th cily of Sacramento, has been reproduced In miniature on the grounds of the '43 Mining Camp. The rprpduetUn is now In course of construction and will, when finished, cover an area of ten feet square. This masterpiece win ie ex hibited in the same old log cabin where all the old General Sutter relics are. Most of the curios are now the prop erty of the Sacramento, Society of Pi oneer Amopg them may be cited the only boot In existence which was onco worn by General Sutter. It Is a clumsy affair with a thick, wooden sole. The general's spurs and the saw with which the logs were cut for the Sutter mill will be displayed. Then, tualp, ihe ill" cannon ever flreil by Genera Sutter In California, will belch forth at sundown each day on the grounds of the mining camp. These interesting rtilcs wlU li added to considerable from the collec tion at Sutter Fort. It was out of the question to permit gambling "for keeps" to be carried on, still, no real mining camp was eer seen without gambling running In "full blant. Thitt wa a point, that had o lit circumvented nud the mai.ape.s the camp have dpno sq .successfully. The gamblii.g hells w'H '"n with (loors wiiln open. Roulotfe, nuinlfs, lu'pan polii-i chuoH-a-ln.1'!. and faro attract thi-piny era. Anybody can drop In tho game and humor his penchant If ho so de sires. All he has to do is to procure gold dust brass filings of which there will be plenty given away in the camp, and buy chips from the dealers. Apro poa of chips, the '49 MluUig Camr peo ple have 'stoned the vaHiab.le Jvory chips used in the famoys El Pot-ado gambling hell, in Ban FrnneUco in 1S49. These chips were purchased years no by the well-known sporting man Wil liam, or rather "Bill" Barnes, out of whose possesion they passes a comic of years two. They are now held by Rp; inon Montenegro, gpntl. ntaT who gathered them in ' ni one" of the mosi blua'ble relics he has of early days. 1 At .. -v 111, A ttiAOA r.f ,n.r,V Milll.. i al longevity.

The site of "the camp is . on tho extreme northwest end of the fair grounds, a li-ealfon particularly desirable in tho premises. Immediately south is the north slopo of Strawberry Hill, which will 'represent the side of a mountain on which mining is being done, and from Which sluices will be run. Some forty 61d -time miners give practical ex hibitions of early mining with rockers, sluices ond lohg toms, But then, this Is not ihe only .feature of Interest. Ev ery cabin orr ne grounds Is a museum in itself. '.'"fV.ilo.g,. of olden times have been gatrfWtMi froru all the mining coun tics of. California and Nevada, and thwy ure 4laP'ayet and catalogued so that visitors are able to; read the history of each article at Svell as see It.

Mimic ' li!d-uha occur1, from time to time, as the stage winds Its way through the beautiful pine grove lying between the horticul tural building and the camp. It i3 in this stage that Horace Greeley rode irom Nevada Into - California Hunk Monk, a reckless driver at best, but a clever and Successful one, was trying to outdo himself on this occasion. TIm old stage rattled .along at a terrific rate, turning sharp corners on two wheels at one time and at the next whirling by within an inch of a preci pice. The grand old Journalist, states man and philosopher had all he could do to hold on to his seat and pleaded with ilie driver to take it a little easier. Monk, in his own wild western way, j.n8wered: "Keep your seat, Hcr- aMvJ'll"gt you there on lime." Then there Is an Indian village with a score of bucks,' ten squaws und nu merous pappooses. There is a regular mining camp theatre, with tallow cun dies for footlights. This institution in In the hands of Richard Foote, th well-known act3r, who will do every thing possible to make it ft great nt- traetlon. As near as he can, he will secure the services of actors and ae tresses who made their debut in min ing camps, or who played thera in the early part of their career. There are a number of these talented people In Cal tfcvnli and Nevada. The dance house Is another attrac tion. It is conducted, in a very urea measure, Just as such houses were run in early days. Of course, the objec tlonable features that flourished !n o! mining camps are eliminated; but 0 .re ing by young and pretty Spanish glrla prevail, giving the visitors instruction and pleasure by showing them how fan dangos were conducted in the homes of respected, and respectable hidalgos, Xt the saloon a ferocious barkeeper holds sway, pistol and bowie knlfo in his belt. Tbe bar or counter consists of a plank laid across the heads of two barrels and evorythtng Is suggestive of the early days In a mining camp. A SLEEPY TOWN.

THE UNION PACIFIC GO'S LOSS A List of. the Property that (Sus tained Damage-Traces of' the Storm's Fnvy. Friday evening's storm' was, perhaps, the severest and most destructive that has occurred' in this vicinity for al most a quarter of a century, although some citizens maintain that the wind that prevailed on the occasion of the storm In December, three years ago, when considerable damage was done, reached a velocity equal to that of Fn day night and yesterday morning. The damage throughout the city will prob. ably foot up $3,000 at least, of which the Union Pacific company 1 ihe heav iest ' loser. Everywhere can be seen traces of some description of the storm's fury, a demolished fence here, the fragments of a blqwn-down chlm ney there, and, broken windows in many localities bearing testimony to the tre. mendous power of the gale.. In several Instances struutures were damaged which were also sufferers by the last great storm, notably the Union Pacilio dock, and tho windmill of the water company, situated south of the Court street school. '. Following, Is a list of the property damaged, as far as could be aacer tained up to a late hour last night: About 10:45 when the hardest blow occurred, about 250 feet of the great roof of the Union Pacific dock was lift ed bodily, together with the Bheathtng and rafters, and thrown on the steamer Wallowa, lying at the dock beneath. The smokestack, whlBtle, and exhaust pipes of the steamer were knocked over, the boats stove in, and considerable damage done to the deckhouse. Fortu nately there was ho one on deck, all the hands having retired. Mr. Louns. berry estimates the entire damage at $2500. This Includes Injury to a quant! ty of freight, the greater portions of which were, happily, covered with tar paulins. Three years ago during the great storm In December, tho Union Pacific dock suffered in a similar manner, but the precautions taken at that time against a recurrence of the affair were unavailing. At the Clatsop mill a quantity of lum ber, Variously estimated at from 7000 to 10,000 feet, was blown down off the dock and into the water, but the greater por tion of It was recovered. The windmill of tht Astoria Water Co., the stock In which is held byMessrs C. W. and G. q. Fulton, H. C. Thomp son, E. G. Rogers, F. I. Dunbar, II. B. Ferguson, and J. W. Gearhart, came down about 10:45, with a crash re sembling a sharp peal of thunder. Judg ing from the appearance of the debris, it Is supposed that the structure must have been lifted bodily, as it came down squarely on the 7000-gallon tank. The chimney of Judge Osburn's res idence, West Ninth street, came down, falling on tho roof of the residence of Mrs. Morrison. Some of the guys of the smokestack of Kinney's cannery were broken, but beyond that no damage was done, at the, smokestack remained standing, al though In a somewhat shaky condition. The fonce around the garden In the rear of the Flavel residence was razed, as was all of that enclosing the footbali grounds at Smith's Point. On Second, and Benton streets a chim ney was hurled over on the building, the ground floor of which Is occuplefi by the Portland Putchorlng Co. Mrs. Grant'i barn on West Eighth street was overturned, and a portion ol the roof of the motor house at Smith'i point was blown off. Many other fences were also blown down In various parts of the city, and the bill board alongside Rescue Engine Co.'s building was lalfl flat mt the side walk. lit Unlontown the residents were much alarmed, and a number of them re Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report. u xy . I. -. f M sm of mained for a. time at the Elmore can nery, having become fearful that their houses were unsafe. In that vicinity, however, no damage has been reported. The door of Mr. C. P. Upshur's ofllce was bursh by a terrific gust between lo and 11, and an officer remained in chargj until Horace Thing was brought down from his residence. Everything considered, the storm wns more severe than that which occurred three years ago. A NATIONAL APPEAL. The American Protective League has distributed the following throughout the country: The American Protective Tariff League in special and extraordinary session on December 16th, responding to the earnest of wage earners, unanimous ly agreed that It was necessary to call upon the press of the United States to assist in defeating the proposed Wilson Free Trade Bill, which Is now before congress. If this measure becomes a law, the demand for labor In all product ive employments in this country will be decreased. This will reduce the wages and earnings of every man, wom an or child among us; permanently lower the standard -of living in this country; and, reduce the purchasing power-of our wage-earners who con stitute the great consuming force In this land. Every person, rich or poor, high or low, old or young, who Is not In favor of lower wages and less comfort in life, should at once write a postal card to the congressman from his or her dis trict, protesting against the passage of this bill and demanding that the Mc Klnley tariff be left unchanged. Write' a postal card today, and urge every friend of yours to do the same. I erhaps your effort will defeat free trade and save protection. BANK OF ENGLAND LOSSES. A contemporary remarks: "In connec tion with the Bank of England Irreg ularities the highest rloss mentioned, 300,000, is not great for so large a bank to bear, The worst .the defaulting offi cial Is said to have done, is to loan up on securities which he was not author ized to accept. Tho directors must have kopt a sharp lookout to be able to pre vent the irregularity, once begun, going further; and the fact of discovery being early made, and a prompt remedy ap plied, speaks well for the management. ' FASHION'S FANCIES. Steel trimming is taking the place of Jet In millinery. Eccentricity Is the rule rather than the exception In the newest hats. Jeweled aigrettes in evening shades are one of the expensive novelties. The coming popularity for black and white combinations in the spring grows more and more apparent. . Colored felt hats are much to the fore. They may be had In almost any 6hndi to match dresses. Bonnets are smalt and very fanciful, and Btrlngs may be used or oniltt.'d as deemed most becoming. Dotted and plain pcau de sole anil moire are announced for wedding gowns as well as rich, creamy satin. Bands of sealskin with arabesiiuo pat terns done in Persian lamb are anionic -the extravagant fancies of ihe season. Louis is a peculiar shade between rod and pink. Brick red Is called carnation and Is liked by both milliner an.1 mod iste. ' Fur Is seen oh very many of the win ter hats, and, strange as It may seem. It is used In conjunction with (lower tnd lace. Elbow-length suede gloves Jn'whii with white or colored stitching and in colors to match the gowna with which they are to be worn are popular. ' A favorite fad of the gr at Paris dress-makers Just now is to make a corsage of velvet In color to accompany the black s kirt. Amethyst and J nma velvets are used for this purpose. Corduroy Is again a favorite -for 'til ing habits and recommends Uvelf eh a rich looking and durable niuicrial. rSUX. In.,ri ami ilartiL in ti h re worn it-llh or without small brack net veils. Trlmnww and slmrllii' are the most sonsptcuous elements of th current, modes. Small sleeves are reported ns being made in Pari, but It will be soma time before the fancy sleeves are out of fashion, as they are not generally becoming to all tlgures. - - itrrfi 3 h "
