He had evidently planned the act for some time as he had timed all of his arrangements o that he would not he prevented In carrying out his plans. After helping his wife with the dishes, he waited until she had gona to the front room and was engaged In combing her hair and then pro cured the shot gun which was in the adiointng room. He had evidently procured a stout slick the evening before, and had carried it to tne house from a place nearby where the men had been- engaged In cut ting pickets. Taking the gun and rtlck he went out behind the woodshed and sat down with his hark, to the wall and propping the, stock with his feet, placed the muzzle against his chest and pushed the trigger with the stick. Death was Instantaneous as he never moved sfier the shot wa3 fired and the body was found still upright, held against the wall by the gun. Mr. Livingston has had a great deal of trouble and during the past few yesrs has been Inclined to be despondent.

Forest fires In Los Angeles during the Isst year have cost the county 1250.000, according to officials of the Cham ber of Commerce Department of Safely. who sleep at Ise and Kyoto. And when one considers that the Prince Regent and his beautiful Japanese Princess are Just ordinary folks who like nothing so well as a game of golf or tennis, the orde.ils of the matter of getting married can be somewhat appreciated. The wedding of the Prince Regent was first reported as far back us 1920, but the official announcement of the coming event was not made until this year. During the time b" tween the press of Tokio was filled with various runiora, some to the effect that the late Prince Yama gata, at that time president of the Privy Council and a member of the Chorlu clan, was bitterly opposing the marriage because the Empress-to-be was a member of the rival clan, the Patsumas. The Prlii'-e He gent as early as then, asserted him self, and before he began his Jour ney to Europe the first, by the way, that any member of the reign ing family of Jupan ever made abroad he pointed out through an Imperial housi hold announcement that the weddlns would be held nt planned, and that opposition to hi' plans would not affect them In' the least. At that time the wedding wis planned for an earlier date and then came the death of Prince Ilicashl Fushlml, and because of th neces sity for a period of mourning at ihe Imrerlal Court, the Imparl il wed ding had to be rostpoieC.

DAY SAYS YOUNG MAN NEEDED i One of the richest mineral strikes of late years In Douglas county, is reported by L. U. 8tenger. Canyon ville merchant, who Is the discover. er ot a great ledge of mineral bear ing rock, running from Stiver Peak four miles south of Canyonvlllu to Tiller, a distance ot almost 24 miles. Already forty claims have been' staked on the property and It is expected that there will be a gen eral rush to this section as soon is the value of the ledge becomes bar ter known. Tests ot the ore show It carrlej $275 to 325 In platinum, and a small amount ot gold, silver and other minerals. Mr. Stenger states that the ledge Is almost a mile wide In some plsces and has been truci- l by outcropplngs all the . way from Silver Peak to Tiller. It the ledge carries Its values throughout Its full length many mil lions of dollars are to be uncovered there when development work is started. After staking as large a claim for himself as the law will permit, Mr. Ktenger haa Interested many ot his friends and Is now an xious to have anyone Interested In the development of the mineral wealth of the county take ap claims, Mr. Stenger states he In anxious to have the residents of the county take up the property In order to hasten development. . It la understood that two Port land men who recently took up claims are preparing to put In a stamp mill within the next sixty days. "I have iiuiuiug io sell and no In terest other than a desire to see tho mineral wealth of the county . de veloped," Mr. Stenger said In speak- ' Ing of the find. "I have all that I am allowed and now I want to see others have an opportunity to coma in. The more who take claims, the fusler the property will be develop ed and that Is my desire. Every test shows that Ihe mine Is a wonderful thing and one of the best ever un covered In the southern part of On gon. The assay tests show heavy platinum deposits and there is no question but that development will be extremely profitable. "New processes for extracting platinum are bringing down the costs and mining this precious ore, for which there Is such a great demand, should be a wealth produc er." The territory In which the ledge la located has been onn of tho fac to orlte . haunts of prospectors In tho early days. In those davs the pros pectors were looking for gold and diver and platinum was a little known metal. As the ore Is not high in Fold the miners gave little at tention to the property. Sliver an I gold were taken from the Silver Peak mine and hundreds of thou sands of dollars worth of platinum was thrown In the dump. Platinum recently came Into demand becauso of Its use In the electrical trade and Is now being used as one of Hit) prec ious metals In Jewelry so that there Is a tremenduniis market and nn ex ceptionally high price. K Inrgo share of the platinum now being us ed In the country comes from Ore gon and the new properties discov ered If properly developed and If round as ri-h as believed, will great ly add to the amount produced In this state. All tnose who have Inspected the newly discovered ledge, are consid erably excited over it and predict a wonderful future for the new min ing properties.
