The region to be explored covers toe bazy "Mongolian Desert," in which during tho war mysterious Japanese armies were (opposed to be hovering to strike the Russian rear and into which mall scouting detachments of Japan ese actually penetrated long distances.

Dr. Devine, of the National Bed Croea, tonight la sued the following statement: "It is important for tbe entire coun try to understand that the loss of home and property in San Francisco haa not been exaggerated. - Expectations have been aroused and plan bave been made, based on telegrams and newspaper re ports, of large contribution for relief, and theae expectation ihould not be disappointed. "Tbe distribution or rood win nave to be continued until there are enough stores in which to buy on a money basis and then it can be gradually diminished, but relief of other kinds ia now and will be required for weeks to come. Sick and delicate persons will need care for month. Inmates of institu tions which have been destroyed must be established elsewhere, and on some plan yet to be devised families which cannot get started otherwise may have to be given a helping hand. "It i not intended to encourage chronic dependence, but tuick, gener ous and efficient relief is needed here for a very larire number of person whose home and meana of livelihood have been deatroyed.

After being surrounded in the woods between the Willamette river and the railroad tracks at this place this morn ing, posse began dynamiting the un derbrush to bring him out. Draper, ac companied by tho dogs, went into the timber and Smith was discovered be hind a log. He made a desperate at tempt to shoot, but Draper anticipated him, shooting him through tbe neck and killing him instantly. Smith bore no wounds, showing con clusively that be had not been wound ed by any of the previous shots fired at him. Crouching in the nnderbrusb between tbe railroad tracks and tbe Willamette river, about half a mile from thi place, surrounded by posses of armed men who were dynamiting tbe wood to drive tho fugitive out, Frank Smith, the de perado who made a sensational escape from the city jail at Portland, and since hi flight last week has killed three offi cers, made hi last stand. After murdering Policeman Hanlon at Oregon City, Smith wa next located near Woodburn by Sheriff Shaver of Clackamas and Captain O. D. Hender son of Woodburn, whom he mortally wounded, both dying at Salem a few hours later. Tha bandit then disappeared as com pletely as if the earth had opened up and enfolded him.

The gray cap, slightly torn in one seam, which was stolen from the Canby postoffice, and which Smith wore, proved hia undoing. The stolen eap belonged to Willie Stuniger, who live near New Era. Willie wa pumping water for the cows this morning when he saw a man pass along the road wearing his own cap. Willis recognized the eap at once and gave the alarm. This positive ldentmcation orougat out the posses in force, and 200 armed men with dogs were presently hunting down the fugitive. Smith stopped to talk to .f lagman Archibald on the Southern Pacific tracks. While they were in conversa tion one of the numerous armed parties hat has boen scouring the country ap peared down the road. "Well. I must take to the woods," said Smith. With that he dashed into the brush. His was surrounded between the rail way tracks nnd the Willamette river, half a mile below rew Era. MONET NEEDED FOB BELIEF.
