An Object Lesson
For Your Boy
Every father wants his boy and
girl to learn the lesson of ha
bitual saving.
Do you know, fathers, that one
of the best ways to teach your
children to save regularly is to
have a savings account your
selves? Let that boy of bring your savings
deposit to the bank as "regular
as clockwork" and he will get
the habit himself he. can't
help It.
Incidentally, a little nest egg will
be good for father, too.

TO DREDGEFOR GOLD
Bar llelow Gold Hill to Be Scene of
Operations by Huge Craft
Costing 50,000.
Medford,, Nov. 26. Arrangements
have been practically completed for
a new and bigger departure in min
ing operations on Rogue river near
Gold Hill, the site selected being the
big bar just below the Lyman ranch,
and the method of recovery to be a
huge dredge, designed and built ex
pressly for the purpose by the Suth
erlin capitalists who are interested
in the venture. These men are J. K.
Moore, H. H. McLean and C. F.
Reynolds, all of whom have had wide
practical experience in dredging op
erations, and who will invest from
$50,000 to $60,000 in the construc
tion of the dredge and preparations
for the work.
Mr. Reynolds, representing the
trio, was in Gold Hill for several
days the first of the week making a
final survey of the project and con
ferring with Henry Ray, who has
been largely instrumental in direct
ing interest toward one of the most
neglected and undoubtedly profitable
! systems of mining in southern Ore
gon. He is now in Oroville, Cal., at
which point some 50 or 60 dredges
of varying types are engaged in op
i erations upon the rich sand bars of
ithat river, and where he intends to
fmake a final determination of the
type of dredge which will be con
structed for work on the Rogue.
Rev. C. H. Davis.
Rev. C. H. Davis, who is to con
duct the revival to be held at the
Nazarene church, is a gentleman in
every sense of the word that is, a
Christian gentleman. He i3 a man
of experience, having served one
church in the east, as pastor, for
thirteen years, besides other charges,
has done a great deal of evangelistic
work and has been greatly owned
and blessed of God.
We are not ashamed to invite the
I public to hear him. His messages
are powerful and convincing. He
knows his theme and preaches with
the Holy Ghost sent down from
heaven, hence it takes hold of the
hearts of men. Don't fail to hear
him.
He will reach us for the Monday
evening service, December 2. We
will have evangelistic services on
Sunday, however, and our united
prayer service is to commence this
Wednesday night, to continue the re
mainder of the week. Everybody
welcome.

" MORNING, SILAS"
Salutation Adopted by Holla Temple
for Use t the Imperial Coun
cil Next May.
Dallas, Texas. "Mornin', Silas" is
the slogan ofhriners of North Amer
ica for 1913. This salutation
for the thousands who will
assemble in Dallas next May for
the Imperial Council meeting has
been formally adopted by the execu
tive , committee of Hella Temple.
Members of the committees in charge
of arrangements for the entertain
ment of the Masonic visitors are pro
gressive, far-seeing and intelligent
men, men of high order of execu
tive ability, who were picked on ac
count of their recognized prominence,
their knowledge of Texas as well as
the great order they represent.
-Fourteen years ago Dallas, then a
city of less than 40,000 inhabitants,
entertained the Imperial Council
meeting. That meeting made mem
orable by a lavish entertainment, ad
vertised Texas from ocean to ocean
and from Canada to Mexico. Texas
Shriners are now known from ocean
to ocean and Texa9 has a reputation
for doing things on a large scale.
Expecting an even larger attendance
than that recorded at Los Angeles
this year, local Shriners promise to
make this coming meeting next May
a red letter event in the history of
their order.
H. B. Robertson, chairman of the
committee on entertainment of pa
trols and bands, declares some of the
best drilled men in America will pass
in review before the imperial poten
tate in the grand parade which will
feature the Imperial Council meet
ing. He is expecting to entertain at
least 90 patrols, the very cream of
the world's Shrinedom, and 25 to 30
Shrine bands.- Band music, he says,
will be one of the big features this
year. Hella Temple has organized a
band and this body of musicians will
be kept constantly practicing from
now until next May. A splendid
round of entertainments is being ar
ranged for the patrols and bands.
Dallas is expecting not less than
100 de luxe Shrine specials next May.
Information from the various rail
road lines indicate that at least this
number of special trains will arrive
the three days just prior to the Im
perial Council meeting. The matter
of paTking these specials is a big
problem and this duty falls upon the
transportation committee of which
G. S. Maxwell is chairman. Details
of the arrangements will be sent to
the Shriners of the country months
ahead bo that immediately upon ar
rival the special trains can be parked
in accordance with the plans pre
pared before hand.
It is expected that several of these
de luxe specials will be used in the
side trips over the state following
the sessions of the Imperial Council.
This promises to be a crowning fea
ture of a splendid program now un
der preparation. These trips will be
made in order that visitors from
other states may be given an oppor
tunity of viewing for themselves the
magnificent area of Texas, its great
cities, its points of historic interest,
its wonderful strides along industrial
lines and its undeveloped resources.
Chairman Maxwell said relative to
these tr'ps:
"Every citizen of North America is
interested in Texas and the south
west, for they know Texas has a his
tory as brilliant with achievement as
any commonwealth of the republic
or any nation under the sun. It has
its Goliad, the Alamo and San Jacin
to, which will live in history while
the art of printing survives. It
achieved its own independence and
became a republic, and there are sur
viving today citizens of this state who
fought at San Jacinto. Under six
flags its history has been written and
it is destined to become the first
state in the sisterhood in population,
wealth and scope of territory."

CONVICTS SAVE PEN
Auditorium at Salem Penitent iary
Catches Fire Convicts Work
Like Trojans.
Salem, Ore., Nov. 25. A fire
which originated from poor electric
wiring above the stage In the audi
torium at the state penitentiary this
morning caused a loss estimated at
$3,000. The roof of the auditorium
and the stage, which has complete
fixtures, were destroyed. The re
mainder of the of the room, which
is 40 by 80 feet in dimensions and
has a seating capacity of 800, is un
harmed. The fire had a wicked appearance
before being extinguished by the con
victs with the prison apparatus. A
gruesome sight was presented when
the smoke began to drift away in the
death chamber where five murderers
are to be hanged on Friday, Decem
ber 13. The two nooses could be
plainly seen through the lurid haze
hanging spectre-like from the ceiling.
It is believed that If a stronger breeze
had been coming from the south, the'
scaffold which has sent 15 to death
In its history would have been de
stroyed. The fire started at 10 o'clock and
was soon practically beyond control.
Immediately upon the alarm being
given the convicts, practically all of
them were set at work, and they
worked as if the building was their
own. which indeed it is, as the audi
torium Is for their especial entertain
ment. There was trouble with the hy
drants which gave the fire a-great
start, and the Salem fire department
was at once called upon, responding
with its full force, making a ujiick
run.
As soon as the conditions were
known some 50 special police were
sworn in, armed and rushed to the
scene, but their presence was not
needed as the convicts all worked
like Trojans to extinguish the blaze.
As Mark Twain Introduced Himself.
"Ladies and Gentlemen: By the
request of the chairman of the com
mittee I beg leave to introduce to
you the reader of the evening, a gen
tleman whose great learning, whose
historical accuracy, whose devotion
to science and whose veneration for
the truth are only equaled by his
high moral character and his ma
jestic presence. I allude in these
vague and general terms to myself.
I am a little opposed to the custom
of ceremoniously introducing a read
er to an audience, because it seems
unnecessary where the man has been
properly advertised. But, as It is the
custom, I prefer to make It myself
in my own case and then I can rely
on getting in all the facts. 1 never
had but one introduction that seemed
to me just the thing, and the gentle
man was not acquainted with me,
and there was no nonsense, lie said:
'Ladies and Gentlemen, 1 shall waste
no time in this introduction. 1 know
of only two facts about this man:
First, he never has been in state
prison, and, second, I can't imagine
why!' "
Neat note paper, letter heads ana
