Dally, who returned Wednesday afternoon from a visit to the dam, though the high water has seriously damaged the struoture and destroyed the effectiveness of the flub ways, rendering the ascent of the fish moro of a problem than ever the conilng season. - In the center of the dam, where the newer concrete portion Joins the old crib work of logs, a hole has boon washed undor tho. logs and. the water Is shooting undor with tre mendous force. The structure creaks and groans and trembloa so that an other freshet would probably swoop away the log portion of the dam, says Mr. Dully At present the fish are "ascending through the holes In the crib work and the penstocks, thongh the network of Iron rods In jures many fish. Sheldon's bill authorising the con demnation and removal of the dam passed the house Tuesday Medford Tribune. ; SPECIAL AGENT FINDS OF Attention Cyclists Policeman Ed.

SEEMED P00JVHAD MILLION Stinted Self 8o That Household- Fur niture Was Worth Only $92. Although he left an estate -appraised at $310,597 in Illinois and twice as much in Texas and other southern states, ' among the largest of McHenry county,. Abram B. Brln- kerhoff of Huntley, 111., believed in the simple life, occupying a small cot tage, cheaply furnished. The value of his household goods was appraised at only $92. The treasury of Illinois will be enriched to the extent of $6,000 by the inheritance tax on the Illinois holdings. The wife receives $146,000, . and two nephews, Thomas and Homes- Brlnkerhoff, both of El gin, each receive $00,000 from the Illi nois holdings alone. The testator com menced his career In the employ of the Chicago and Northwestern' rail road. He Invested his salary in west ern land and ran- his fortune up to nearly if not quite a million. E Last night was a good night for tho officers and a poor one for boot leggers. Over 200 quarts were seis ed here by Government Agent Grant. The goods were found in tho J. S. Taylor residence at the corner of Evelyn avenu and North Fifth street, which has ben vacant nntll recent ly rented by the bootleggers. The men who rented the house were two of a bunch of five, all of -whom are now under arrest and held at Port land. When making application for the house they stated that they ould want It for the summer. One of tho five was arrested at Corvallla, being the person who recentty ship ped an auto loaded with boose through this city to Corvallls, two others were taken at Portland and the other one at Albany. Thus one whole division of boot leggers has fallen Into the hands of the enemy, and the local, officers state that they have 'a very good hunch" who, the gang's local agents are at this place. When Mr. Grant was standing by an automobile at the Taylor resi dence last night about 11 o'clock, Night Policeman Wlble . approached him and asked the government agent what business be had there. Grant showed his credentials and then ask ed Wlble what he was there for. The night watchman then showed his star, after which the two got along together quite well. In a diary taken from one of the arrested, men was found a notation which read: "This man we know," and Grants Pass was named and the street and number of the house were given. With the aid of this It was little effort for Mr. Grant to locate the precious liquid. With the aid of Sheriff Lewis the whiskey was boxed up and stored at the county Jail this forenoon, where it awaits disposal with other con signments.
