CUMMINS OREGON CAMPAIGN
DISTINGUISHED BY
EXCESSIVE BITTERNESS
A. P. A. Service.
PORLAND, May 20—Sena
tor Albert Cummins concluded
his week of campaigning in this
state last night with an address
before one of the largest gath
erings seen in this city f°r some
time.
During his visit the Iowa sen
ator spoke at all important
points and worked up a decided 1
sentiment* in his own favor, j
Many of the papers which were !
previously luke warm in their ’
political expressions are today
discussing his candiacy in a very
favorable vein and show a strong
inclination to hoist the Cum
mins banner. The exact effect
of his tour on the public is not I
so apparent although sentiment j
iin his favor has visibly increas- j
ed.
The campaign was by all odds

t ning but says that he saw no
; open water nor could he sight
any from the top of the loftiest
j ice hummocks.
1 he report that Henry Burgh
1 was seriously ill and threatened
! with pneumonia which rumor
[ gained wide curculation last
night, is denied by Mr. Burgh’s
physician, Dr. Chace. Mr. Burgh
.s declared to be suffering with
nothing worse than 4n attack
of tonsilitis and will probably be
out again tomorrow.

The distinctly summer weath
er prevailing yesterday caused a
Cmarkable lessening of th snow
about town and several of the
horoughfares which were heav
ly blocked with snow a day or
wo ago are now entirely clear.
\t other points the beautiful was
lissipated to the degree that the
water men are now able to get
r ‘sbdtrt comfortably with wheeled
vehicles.
Owing to the flooding of Dry
creek the water men are at pres
ent getting their supply of aqua
pura from the Williamson well.
The water in a trifle Jiard but is
pronounced perfectly pure by
the city physician. The Moon
; light water is expected to reach
i the city within a short time and
I the company is engaged in thaw
i ing out the pipes along the lower
j sections of town.
The Nome Gun Club held
their weekly shoot at the Stead
man avenue grounds yesterday
afternoon. Owing doubtless to
| the beautiful weather the attend
ance of fans was not large and
fhe shot guns sharps were also
few, but four competing in the
shoot. Dr. Chace carried off the
honors with E. W. Burroughs
a close second. Burroughs still
1 holds the high score for the pres
ent month, however, and if he
does not have a streak of hard
'tick will probably annex the
prize.
Al Nicholson took a trip out
‘o Dexter Saturday night and
-cports that some of the miners
irc engaged in thawing their
’umps in readiness for sluicing.
\ little water was running in
daces but not enough to com
mence the work of separating
! ‘he winter accumulation of pay
lirt. Preparations for sluicing
were going on everywhere, ac
cording to Al. Nicholson also as
serts that the dark brown patch
m the side of his face is not due
I o anything but a fall on the
hard snow It wqs the fault of
his dogs who conceived the idea
‘hat they would not wait for Al
tind startedf to fare forth re~
. garless of their master. Result
i fall in which his face came in
contact with the ice. That’s all.
The Dream presents a special
leader in two parts tonight. Iron

ples are Miss Mary Charleson,
Miss Naomi Childers and Mau
rice Costello with a supporting
cast of finished and accomplished
artists. Two selected numbers
complete the program. One of
them is a spring freshet in com
edy titled “Buster’s Little

A. Polet, president of the
chamber of commerce received
a cable from Delegate Wicker
sham asking if the gasoline
schooner Diamond L. entered at
the Russian custom house be
fore being wrecked on the Siber
ian coast last year. Mr. Polet
replied stating that it was'im
possible for vessels of the class
of the Diamond L. to reach Pe~
tropavlosk as the distance was
something like ,'1,200 mlas and
no vessel of small tonnage could
carry fuel enough to reach that
port He also called attention to
the fact that Nome commerce is
seriously injured by the present
system as none of the Nome
traders can go to Petro
pavlosk to register and secure
trading permits thus leaving Se
attle traders an opportunity toan
nex practically all the trade with
Siberia previously enjoyed by
Nome trading fleet. The reply
also urges the establishment of a
sub custom house at East Cape
or Indian point so that vessels
1 from Nome will have the oppor*
. tunity to legally participate in
the trading on the Siberian coast,
i At the present time a Nome ves
jel venturing to trade on the
j arther coast is virtually a pirat*.
and subject to confiscation.
-Mr. Fehse appears to be about
the "only persbn in Nome who
received notice of the sailing of
the Bear- He states that a mes
'saga receive a few days ago says
that the vessel departed on the
T3*h instt. Rumor§ are current
on the streets today that the
Bear is at Unalaska but no con
firmation could be obtained be
fore the Nugget went to press.
