complaint would be sworn out ROSEBERRY, B. C, IN ASHES
against him, Botsford left the city a ,'
few hours after the alleged corn-
mlsison of the crime.
Botsford is a painter by oecup.i
tion, coming to this city about three
months ago. He lived alone in u
unialf- house In North Roseburg. a
short distance from the home nf Airs.
Mason, who did his launury work.
Last Thursday evening, Mrs. Mason's
little girl took Botsford's laundry to
him. and Botsford detained the child
for some time. When the girl re
turned home she told an unprintable
Btory and exhibited ten cents which
Botsford had given her. Going im
mediately to Botsford's home, Mrs.
Mason upbraided him in vigoroiu
fashion and threatened hhu with ar
rest. Taking the woman at her word.
Botsford got out of the city the same
evening, leaving on the northbound
overland train.
The authorities knew nothing of
the case until yesterday noon, al
though Mrs. Mason could have pre
vented Botsford's escape by promptlv
informing City Marshal Joseph Huff
man, who lives just across the street
from her home. The child Is not In
jured In any way. Botsford induced
her to remain at his house by giving
her the comic supplement of a Sun
day newspaper.
During most of his stay in thin
city, Uotsford was employed by T. H,
Hill, a local contracting painter. Up
on preparing to leave the city, BotF
ford obtained from Hill a sum I!
amount of wage money due him, ex
plaining afterwards that Mrs. Mason
would have him arrested if he re
mained here.
Uotsford is reported to have had
about $100 in money when he left.
This sum will enable him to put
considerable distance between hint
self and Roseburg, although the of
ficers, despite the 15-hour start which
ho was permitted to get, have hope
of capturing him. The crime wltt
which the fugitive is charged is pun
Ishable by imprisonment in the pt-ni
tentiary from three to twenty years.

IS DEAD.
W riter. Railroad Promoter, Librarian
of General ijimi Ottlce, Clerk
in Two legislatures.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 20 Samuel A.
Clarke, one of Oregon's must active
and beat-known pioneers, died ut his
home in this city early this morning.
He was widely known throughout the
Oregon country us a newspaper writ-
er, publisher, historian and man of
affairs. He was born on the Island
of Cuba. The boy caught the gold
fever in 1S4'J and made his 'way
around the Horn to California, com
ing to Oregon tu 1850.
When Baker county was organized
in 1802, Samuel Clarke was appoint
ed the first county clerk of the new
county, by Governor Gibbs. After
serving for two years in that capac
ity he returned to Salem. At differ
ent times Clarke was an editorial
writer on -tho Oregoniun, Record and
Statesman.
Mr. Clarke was an ardent Republi
can, but was never a candidate for
ollice. However, in 1802, and agalu
in 1872, he served as clerk. of the
lower bouse of the legislature.
Helped Organize Railroad.
Deceased was one of the Incorpor
ators of the Oregon Central railroad
in I8tit, and served as its secretary
until the affairs of tho corporation
were taken over by Ben Holladay In

ities, Mr. Clarke found time to act as
correspondent for many of the lead
ing papers of the United Slates, and
during the Modoc Indian war made
a record as field correspondent for
the New York Times. He was a ver
satile writer, possessing notable grace
and elegance, and contributed much
to the literature of Oregon, both In
prose and verse. Perhaps his best
known work is a history, "Pioneer
Days in Oregon," written in his later
yenrs.
The last active work of Mr. Clarke
was at Washington, where he served
for several years as librarian of the
general land ollice in the Department
of the Interior, lie returned from the

MRS. HOMER DAVENPORT
SUES FOR SEPARATION.
Friends Say Temperament! Different.
Cartoonist's Sister Says Too
Much Extravagance.
NEW YORK. Aug. 18 Mrs. Daisy
II. Davenport, wife of Homer Daven
port, the cartoonist. Is suing for a
separation. She charges abandon
ment. Davenport Is reported to have
taken his blooded Arabian horses
In. m the family homo at Morris
Plains, N. J., -to his new country
home at Goshen, N. Y. This occur
red in May, when. It Is said, Daven
port, aided by his servants, made a
daylight raid upon tho animals at
Morris Plains and removed them to
Goshen in spite of Mrs. Davenport's
protests.
Friends declare that the differ
ences existing between- the couple
are due to "artistic temperament."
PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 18. The
trouble between Davenport and his
wife has been brewing for three
yearfa, according to Portland friends
of the cartoonist. Davenport insists
on working In his own way. which
means that be refuses to allow Mrs.
Davenport In his studio. Two years1
ago Mrs. Davenport laid down tbe
ultimatum that Homer should not
lock his studio against nor. To this
he finally agreed, but shortly after
Insisted again that his working hours
be undisturbed. - Mrs. John B. Ren
shaw, Davenport's sister, was then
asked by the cartoonist to take
charge of his household. Friends
of the family say that in checking
up household accounts, Mrs. Ren
stiaw found that both Horner nnd
his wife were spending thousands a
year that they couldn't afford and
that, owing to their quarrel over his
locking his studio, there was little
hope of a ernianent adjustment.
Davenport'B friends assert that his
wife is wholly unreasonable in her
demands on her artist husband and
that her urgency and Interference has
seriouslv Jnterf.rod with his career.
No allegations of a scandalous na
ture pre made by either side, but it
seems agreed that a separation has
become inevitable.
Mrs. Davenport is a beautiful wo
man who has become noted for h r
taste !'i dress and luxurious appoint
ments. FOK RENT Furnished roomB.

WHAT THE FUTURE AVILL
BRING TO UNITED STATES.
(irent Era of Prosperity Ahead for
tlu C id ted Slates Must Ix'urn
to Think In Billions.
Unless tho unforseen occurrs the
decade upon which tho United States
is now entering promises to be one
of unexampled prosperty. It will
in reality be a decade In which the
country must learn to think In bil-
lions, for If the rnte of increase of the
ten years past is maintained, as Is
probable, the statistical totals, most
of them, will be found rapidly as
cendfng tho billion column. Nnturnl-
!y, when that occurs, the odium of
the billion dollar congress will dis
appear. The fact is tho UnitcJ
States is a rapidly growing giant
among the nations, and It is still far
from having attained 'the size to
which it Is destined.
The statistical expert of the Manu
facturers' Record has been figuring
out what Is going to happen within
tho next ten years of the nation s pro
gress, and the very vastnesa of -the
conclusions he reaches makes a start
ling exhibit of the country's finan
cial and industrial power. He esti
mates that In 1918 the totnl wealth
of the country will bo tbe enormous
sum of $200,000,000,000. In 1890
it was $05,000,000,000, and the es
timate for 1918 is based upon the
average annual rate oT Increase from
1890 to 1908. Of course, the human
mind can grasp this huge total only
the vaguest way. To the ordinary
man It means superlative vastness; it
is an exclamation, not a clearly de
fined idea.
The population for 1918 Is esti
mated at 106 million, bank deposits
$30,000,000,000, value of Agricul
tural products at $10,800,000,000.
capital and products of manufactur
ers $62,000,000,000, gross earnings
or railroads $4,000,000,000. with a
mileage of 284.000, and freight mlle
age of -I22.OOO.0O0.OOO.
But while this optimistic predic
tion is dazzling In its brilliancy, I'
must not be forgotten that there will
come with this expansion of indus
try great problems, that will tnx tbe
wisdom of the statesmen to the ut
most. It will mnke acute the ques
tion of regulating tho corporations;
It will create new and pressing de
mands upon the government for the
Improvement of waterways in con
nection with Intricate transportation
problems; it will call for largely In
creased taxes, perhaps by new meth
ods, and with enhnnced prices of
commodities it will mnke critical In
many ways the present system nf the
economic distribution of wealth. All
siens point to a period of economic
adjustment to new conditions. Ex.
HOW
TO POISON GROUND
SQUIRRELS AND GOPHERS.
Interesting results have just been
announced by the Forest Service as
a result of the campaign conducted
In Southern California by Stanley E.
Piper, Expert of the Biological Sur
vey of the Department of Agriculture,
to exterminate ground squirrels and
gophers.
Extensive experiments were tried

to determine the best means of kil
ling off 'these destructive little ani
mals, and It wns found that most ef
fective results were obtained by us-
iug poisoned greeu or ripening barley!
heads. The squirrels are exceedingly i
fond of this green herbage, and eag
erly ate ( ho ofsoned food placed
along their runways. Tests were also I
made with oats, wheat, barley, rai
sins, prunes, dried apples, and crack
ed corn, but these did not prove so
successful.
While green barley proved mosl 1
successful for poisoning ground squir
rels, yet tbe dtmcnHy of procuring a
sufficient supply in alt localities led
to duied barley grain being tried. The
grain was treated with strychnine
sulphate, saccharine, and eggs, and
although this combination proved
very destructive to tho squirrels, It
had practically no effect upon doves
and quail. In fact, a deliberate at
tempt was made to poison these
birds at their watering places, but no
bad effect resulted. The poisoned
grain was also used in fields grazed
over by sheep and produced no ill ef
fects whatever.
Tbo experiments also proved that
gophers were partial to raisins nnd
dried apples, and these wero suc
cessfully used In the poison experi
ment. It was found thnt by sprinkl
ing the apples or raisins with the
strychnine solution, as effective re
sults wero produced as could bo ob
tained by Inserting the poison into
the fruit.
The experiments for extermination
of squirrels also resulted In the death
of a considerable number of rabbits,
and In other experiments It was
found that poisoned oats proved very
effective In killing both jacks and
cottontails. Green nlfalfa was also
used with good results for the same
purpose.
