STRIKER A SNAG Senate Committee Worries Over tho Question of Stiff rago in New States If Limited States Will Be Democratic. OPPORTUNITY MIS PANTHERS TRAINS RUNNING ELECHFFICERS Annua! Election of Officers of Rogue River Horticultural Society Held Saturday C. M. Potter Elected President. Tho nnnuul meeting of the Rogue River Horticultural society wns held Saturday afternoon, at which time officers for the ensuing year were elected. C. M. Potter was elected presi dent; J. A.

Dunlap. Professor O'Gara made a short talk on timely spraying. Ho recom mended that spraying for green aphis should commence soon, and promised to publish in the Mail Trib une instructions as to best and most timely methods. In the matter of frost protection, the question of tho relative cost and value of erode oil and distillate was discussed at some length, but no definite conclusion was reached. It was finally agreed to leave tho mat ter open. Crude oil last season proved un satisfastory. Distillate has not been used to much extent as yet, and tho most successful of the orchardists in the line of avoiding frosts used a smudge rather than a flame. Advertisement In Hall Tribune Helps to Dispose of Fine Pair of Panther Kittens Management of Portland Park Acquires Them. George N. Lewis of Jacksonville has boon advertising a pair of pan ther kittens for salo in the columns of tho Mail Tribuno for several weeks, and he has sold them, indi rectly through the advertisement, ns it led to inquiry on tho part of the malingers of tho Portland park, nud a little missionary work helped on the sale. The kittens voro shipped to Portland a fow. days ago and are now comfortably domiciled in their new home. Those kittens are not tho kind that you would tako up in your lap aud stroke. On the contrary, they weigh about 40 pouuds apiece and hav claws that one wouldn't like to have make experiments with his opider mis. But they were a beautiful pair of cats and if they mature will be one of the sights of the park. INTER-RACIAL FIGHT ON BETWEEN INDIANS Until Oflden Route Is Open Again Freights on Shasta Route Will Be Few No Crews Available. WANT MORE LIGHT ON JOHN D.'S PLANS WASHINGTON, D. C, March 5. or loiumnia win acmana more ngni on tho plans of the John D. Rocke feller fortune before it will take ac- ' j tion on the bill for incorporation of the philanthropic organization. i The committee invited Starr J.

HOOUIAM. Wash., March 5. With scoros of Indians armed and prepared for an inter-racial feud, as well as a three-sided conflict with federal and state officers, no defi nite word has come out from Ta hola. the little Indian hamlet where Fred Pope shot and killed Adam Hawk and Hob William Monday. United States Deputy Marshal Stnt- ter has secured the aid of two other deputies and is still at the scene of the crimes. Statter's absence lends strength to the opinion that tho conditions among the Indians are moro serious than at first thought. Rumors are rife that Pope will never bo taken alive and that ho means to sell his life as dearly as possible The Iu dian is hiding in the woods and food and clothing are being supplied by friends and relatives. Never before have the Indians been so worked up over any affair. Even the women are said to bo filled with the thirst for blood. "It's off ng'in, on nc'in, g one ng'in" with the. trainmen of tho Shasta division nowadays, owing lo tho tioup of tho Central Pacific oast front Sacramento. Freights are stalled - for want of crews, while the freight crews, oft times without an opportunity to change from the overalls and jumper which constitutes their usual uni form ns freight handlers, aro com pelled to take out n train of Pull mans ruled with tho bon-ton. "Tho togs don't out no ico with me," growled nn oxtrn brnkie, ns'his train was waiting nt the Mcdford station for anothor to pass, "but I would like to know when I'm going to get a chance to sleep." Carnegie to Mt. Wilson. PASADENA, Col., March 5. An drew Cnrnegio will visit tho Mount Wilson observatory on March 15, ac cording to an announcement today by President Sheerer of Tliroop in stitute. Tho steel king now is in Santa Barbara, ne expects shortly to visit Del Monte ami San Fran cisco. Tho narrow trail to tho summit of Mount Wilson is boinjr widened to permit the passage of the coach and four that will carry Carnegie to the observatory. OF A LIFETIME WASHINGTON, D. C, March 6. i Tho statehood measure or Now Mexico and Arirona is stuck on an other sung today. This time tho sou nto committeo on territories is wor rying over tho question of whether suffrage iu tho proposed states shall I bo limited to those who spank nud write the English language. According to tho majority of wit- i ucsscs who havo been examined liv the committeo, it is practically cer tain both states would bo Democratic should such a limitation bo mndo. ! It is thoroforo probable that no statehood legislation will pans during tho present congressional session unless somo provision to prevent dis franchisement of many voters in tho two states is doviscd. Senators nrguo that if tho An-, zona election law would bo allowed ' to stand one party would bo able to gain control of tho cloetion mnohiu-' ery nud forever joopnrdue the chances of nnother party by dis-j franchising its voting members. One reason why tho most dosir ablo housos, apartments and rooms are always advortisod is that tho most dcsirablo tonants never tnke the trouble to hunt up placos that aro not advertised.
