ECKELS SPEAKS.
Says the People Cannot Complain as
Long as the Present Eystem Is
U3d.
London, Sept. 16. The Hon. James
Eckels, comptroller of the United States
treasury, made the following statement
today, on the request of a rcprtwenUtlve
or tne Associated Press:
Being thus far away from New York
and not knowing the exact conditions
prevailing there, which are producing
shipments or gold! abroad, I feel' I can
say nothing upon that subject which will
be or special benefit to the publio gener
ally speaking. The gold shipments came
about from tho fact that the American
people lare buying a great deal abroad
and not selling sufficient of their. own
produce to equalize things, thus necessi
tating a settlement of the balance due
In gold. We maintain the financial sys
tem which makes the united Stales treas
ury a general market of supply for all
requiring gold, consequently more "or less
embarrassment comes to the udmlnlstra
tlon of the treasury department. When
these balances require to be settled, how
ever, the treasury tins always managed
to maintain the unquestioned payment
in gold or its obligations and will al
ways do so. The system under which it
Is forced to operate makes It sometimes
expensive, but as long as the represen
tatives in congress refuse to change that
system, and! as long as the voters tol
erate them, the people have no right to
complain or true expense.
ALL OVER A
Bad Blood Engendered Between

DRAMATIC SCENE IN CAROLINA
Senator Tillmau Would Not Name
the County for a Traitor As
Such He Characterized
Senator Butler.
Columbia, S. C, Sept. 16. Tho proceed
ings of thel constitutional convention
today were characterized by a most ex
citing time between SenatoiMTUlman and
his broUhor, George D. Tillman, on the
question of naming a new county.
George D. Tillman on Saturday had
succeeded in getting the oounty named
Butler. Senlator Tillman was absent at
the time, and returning today he moved
to change the name to Saluda. In a
passionate speech he charged Senator
Butler with, being a traitor to the party,
and eald that to name the county after
him was an Insult to the reformers of
the Btate, George D. Tillman In reply
taunted his brother with fighting a man
whom he had defeated, and dramatically
striking his breast, exclaimed: "Thank
God there Is no sentiment In my tart
that would make me stoop so low."
The scene became extremely exciting,
and tho convention was in wild confu
sion which continued until adjournment.
A vote was Anally obtained and Sen
ator Tillman carried hi point and tho
new county was named 3aluda, instead
or Butler.
TWO BOSSES.
And Policemen Don't Knsw Which One
to Obey.
Spokane, Wn., Sept. 16. A serious con

Promptly at that hour Mayor Belt Issued
a proclamation declaring that an emer
gency existed, and that under the char

Neman as acting jhlef of police, and
commanded all' the members of the force
to obey his orders. Mbanwhlie tho board
of police commissioners had appointed
Captain Corerley as acting chief, giv
ing orders that he be obeyed. As the
commissioners have powar . to remove
members of the force at thlr pleasure,
this put the policemen In a quandary.
Fourteen have resolved to stand by the

On Monday. Sent. 2.
of Messrs. p. C. Stokes, O. W. Sanborn,
H. Prael and Masters Frank Sanhnn
and Chas. Gray, started out on a trip
on horseback to Tillamook across the
mountains and return by the coast. Mr.
Prael was elected keeper of records nn
seals and his account of the trip Is a
musi interesting one:
"We left Astoria on Monday, the 2n
of September, under a 'brieht sun una
favorable auspices. The route was over
tne wamiski road and wo reached Olney
at 6 o'clock. There we put up oup horses
for the nlghlt and all hands had a irooii
rest. The next morning we started for
jeweu at 1 o'clock. The Clatakanine river
was reacnea at 10 o'clock and we ar.
rived at Frank Sunrenant's for lunch
Frank received us with open arms and
nnea us witn; bear stories whlln iMr
Suprenant prepared an excellent lunch
Jewell , was reached for supper and here
we spent the night. After breakfast a
start was made for Mlshawaki. whom ra
arrived about noon. Miss Lynch, the
postmistress, very kindly set us out a
nice luncn. rordlng the-Nehalem river
we took the road for Elsie and at this
point struck a heavy rain storm which
almost decided us to return home. Ar
rived at Elsie we found quarters) with
Mr. and Mrs. Steve Gragg. who made
it as pleasant as possible for us. In fh
evening a social gameof carda filled in
the time and we concluded to turn back
If it still stormed the next day. But
rho morning broke with a clear sky and
we were encouraged to continue the Jour-
no. spent tne cay here, however,
to Ash In the Humous: river, which u
one of the finest trout streams In the
country.
From Elsie ve resumed
Friday, morninff. followimr
of the Nehalem, ibound for the lower
naiem' country. There is a fine trail
which crosses the river several lmo
The timber, all along this part of the
oounjFy.lsjnagnlrlcent and the scenery is
very beautiful. The forests are dense
and the big trees begin to get numerous
though finer timber is reached further
on. The picturesque streams winding
througlh the deep forest with, its dark
green foliage, or flowing through the
rock bound canyons present untold at
tractions to the fisherman or lover of
ture. One cannot help but pause and
admire the stupendous works of nature,
here In the heart of the great timber pro
serves, where the solltui'e and utter ex
clusion from the noise and dally grind of
business impels the belief that one has
entered a different epliere. New thoughts
crowd the mind and unless one Is quite
hardened to alt good Influences he can
not but drink In some of nature's rem
edies for tired brains and bodies and
be the better for a short stay in these
quiet haunts. The business man will also
involuntarily dream of the time when all
tne riches about him will be added to the
world's store of wealth and the mag
nificent timber find a market.. The most
beautiful scenery abounds tho entire way.
We reached Fraser's cabin at 12 o'clock
and were well entertained by that gentle
man, we met a good many people along
this part of the route, many of whom
were, like ourselves, bent on pleasure.
After luncheon wo started on and here
encountered the first ascent. For three
miles the road here was so steep as to
be almost perpendicular and we were
obliged! to walk and lead- the horaos. The
timber in this region is heavy spruce and
cedar andi there are millions of feet of it.
"We readhed "God's ValJey" at S o'clock
ana stopped at George Parker's claim,
where we found Joe 'Russell and Fred
urosoy. we were heartily welcomed and
rreatea most royally. As the acoommo.
ations were limited we slept in the
barn on the hay. Saturday mnmim,
uriBin ami eariy we were In the saddle
ana on ior Nenalem Cltv. In "Ood'a Vol.
ley" we noticed many lanre enm-n trc.
and measured one peculiar tree, which
ima Deen damaged by Are, and found
It to Te 21 feet In diameter and about 60
feet In circumference. The lower limb
must have been 7 feet In diameter. The
tree had. little or no top branches, and
wlthi its Immense trunk towerina- in h
air made a strange sight. From her
we passed through the burnt district
where great damage to the spruce tim
ber hadi been done by the August Are.
Heavy losses occurrod throuirh thin .r.
glon, some of the settler's houses being
burned. The trail here Is up. and down
and we had to walk many times. Cross
ing over to the north, fork of the Ne
bulem we Anally reached Alley's, where
we had lunch. Here the whole landscape
Is like one vast park and its beauties
are beyond description.
"At 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon we
arrived at Neha'.em City. Hore w vlltort

operation, the strike being over ana
everybody was at work again. We staid
at the Columbia hotel, where the best m

and here we staid two days and were
well entertained by Mrs. Austin. She was
not at home when we Arst arrived, but
we took charge of the hotel and com
menced preparations for supper. The
hostess soon appeared, however, and took
the management of affairs, much to our
advantage.
"Monday we took in the sights along
tho fooach. The large racks which lie
In the ocean here are of strango and
fantastic shape and are covered with
mussels in endless quantities. In the
evening we made a bonfire on the beieh;
which was the largest ever built on that
beach. Sanborn superintended the Job, '
while Stokes and I did all the work. Our
fuol iwas composed of tho piles from
the broken raft of last winter, with
which the beach is thickly strewn for
40 miles.
"On Tuesday morning we went to Elk
Creek. Along these beache are many
large caves in the mountain sldo. The
passage around "Hug" point, which la
well named, is very dangerous. The trail
is very high and so narrow In places
that one has to literally "hug" the rocks
In getting around. We arrived) at Elk
Creek at noon and remained there the '
balance of the day. In the afternoon,
by previous invitation, we visited the
beautiful place of Will and Mark .War-'
ren. Mrs. Win Warren wn thera
we were most handsomely entertained
They showed us -all tho points of In
terest about the splendid property and
explained what can he iinno ,nh .
liftle labor. We met George Rowe here,
wnc seemed! to be having a good time.
"When the tide Is low on Elk Creek
beach after dark a peculiar nhennmcnnn
can he observed. With every step one
takes & Aame arises from the sulphur
In the sand. It Is thoueht it is rniit
by the mixture of the salt and the frfh
water.
"Wednesday we visited Twia on,t r...
dera' place at Seal Rocks. .hmir torn
miles from the Elk Creek house. Thi
chib house Is on the bluffs, from which
a grand view of Tillamook light is had,
while the large rocks In front, on which
are thousands of seals, afford endless
amusement. The rocks cJose to the shore
are covered with mussels and star fl&hi
This Is a very secluded place, almost
cut off from the other beaches owing
to the peculiar formation of the coast
line, and hence they are little subject to
intrusion, About one mile from) here
is Indian Town, but we were unable to
visit It for lack of time.
'After lunch Wednesday we crossed
the toll road Into Seaside and this part
of the trip was very wet, as it rained
very hiard all the time. Looking like a
lot of drowned rata, we arrived at the
station duBt In time to catch the train
for Astoria, Judge McGulre took churge
of the horses, which ho sent to us the
next day and we arrived home on the
Dwyer at 6:30 Wednesday night, afUr
having had the most delightful outing we
ever experienced.
"I wish I could tell you In such lan
guage as would convey to your mind a
realistic picture of the grandeur of Can
non . Beach, wiUi its high mountains,
deep forests and ocean altogether, but
you will have to make the trip there to
begin to appreciate its wonderful beau
ties.' No descriptions ever written have
told half of its magnlAcenca."
LARGE DEED RECORDED.
Yesterday there was Alod in the' record- '
er's oAlce one of tho largest deeds on
record for some time. It was made by
D. K. Warren and wife to Walter C.
Smith and conveyed 259V4 acres in W-ar-renlon
for the consideration of tfipoo.
This would seem to Indicate that real
estate matters are beginning to move in
a lively manner and also that there Is
some definite plan on foot across the
bay.
