CRATER LAKE T1CTIJTS BODY IS
SEARCHED FOR.
Well Known Eastern Oregon Man's
Body Hunted for at Crater. .
MedforS, Ore., July 27. J. V. Steph
enson hag gone to Crater lake where
he will assist In fur.her search for the
body .of B. B. BakbwskI, the lost pho
tographer. Mr. Stephenson is the partner of
the missing man and was on the scene
last winter, soon afUr Bakowskl dls-
I appeared but at that time nothing
; could be done toward seeking , ihe
body. While It will be difficult now
I to make a thorough search owing to
I the snow under tin r!ni of the crat?r;
I Mr. Stephenson, Superintendent Arant
' and Head Ranger Momyer will immed
iately make another thorough search
;so far as it Is possible Mr. Stephen
! son feels the loss of his former chum
.and partner In business ventures
, keenly and hi will go to the lake with
! the avowed inttption of not returning
until ihe body is located and removed
! from Itg snowy grave.
I It may be possible to find the body
-weeks before It can be located. Al
, ready Superintendent Ar'arit and
i Ranger Momyer have made some' ef
, fort to' loca e the body but, to date
. nothing has come of this. In fact no
j evidence of where the missing man
,fcd e?n after he left his camp this
( side of thr rlai has been found other
( than the finding of the snow shoes
'and &ove by Walter J. McDonald a
logger who crossed the mountains
from this elds to M;dford during the
early spring. These were found Just
to tne right or the road leading jrom
the government headquarters to the
rim and It is believed that near this
spot is where the the unfortunate man
went over. 'Mr. Arant state that It J
will be several weeks before the snow.
will be sufficiently gone at this point
down under the rim to admit of a
search that could possibly be thor
ough. Mr. Stephenson expects to spare no
effort or expense in trying to locate
the -body of Bakowskl and It is ex
pected that his efforts will prov suc
cessful within the next few weeks.

RAILROADING MARVELS AT LACK
. OF IXJCIJlES. ; .
Nine Coarheg Leave Track Still No
. Paslngr Suffer. ;
San Francisco, July 27. (Special)
In theee. -day of modern railroad
equlpinent, where the traveler is pro
tected "at itlmoat 'every ' tufn ot ; the
track by some new device, it Ib appar
ent that the trUBpormtlon companies
of tbe uhtry lave come to recog
nise the truthfulness of the maxim
that U I better to avoid losses than
to Incur the-expensive luxury of law
suits. These may not mean any even
tual Job's fn the way or damages, but
they do mean publicity, In which the
traveling publfc takes an abiding in
terest . . : ' S.
- One of the best testimonials of the
efficient equipment of the Southern
Pacific company Is found fn the report
of an "aCcldeHi't that occurred on the
night of June 24, 1911, In the vicinity
of Sparks, Nevada. ' The affair was
one of these events which cannot be
guarded against wheb a broken rail
snapped with the impact of the train
as it passed "over 'the weak spot. Just
think! Nine coaches left the track
and. not a single Soul was Injured.
Such an accident three years ago
would have meant a catastrophe ot
sufficient magnitude to arouse the en
tllre ' world Krlth "attother recital of
horrors. : '. '.''.;.'.
The accident at Sparks Is one that
has not been duplicated in the United
States, and the freedom from fatali
ties Is. due to the excessive care ex
ercised by the operating and all other
departments which have to do, with
the handling of passenger business.
This vigilance explains the Immunity
I
of the Southern Pacific and Us allied
lines from serious accidests. Steel
trains coupled up on the vestibule
plan form aerolite that penetrate
space without regard to obstacles. In
addition, when these meteors of th
railroad world are further secured by
the block signal system and countless
other checks against the forgetfulness
of human nature, the traveler may
rely upon that particular system as
the one best bet of his life. -
THE DRINKS AT JOSEm.
Water In Litigation, and Why Drink
One Joseph man gives an excuse
for imbibing in liquor and.othsr con
coctlpns. 1 He says the city water sys
tem Is In litigation and no aelf-respec'-ing
citizen wants to do anything to get
mixed in a law suit therefore he deitos
It unsafe to drink water from the
hydrant, because In so doing a 'man
might convert himself into a witness
capable of giving expert testimony.
And -wile the litigation Is pending it
Is therefore considered permissible
to drink a beverage, the kind to be
selected by the individual whose thirst
is going to be slaked.
DEFENDS NATIVE STATE.
Dr.Mcknnon Max tiiie tytiug
. Arkansas.
An amusing conversation took place
last evening between J. D. McKennon
and his brother. Dr. A. M. McKennon,
who, with his wife and mother, is
visiting the McKennons of this valley.
J. D. was telllne of the! ereat Oregon
country and was belittling the sta'e'
of Arkansas. To say the meanest'
j thing he could think of naturally the
chills and fes-ver were mentioned.,
"Doctor knows that for over 20 years
I chilled every day or every third day.
Why, I could go back -:o Arkansas I
now and In two days' time sit on the
sunny side of the house and have
chill that would make my t?eth sound
tike one of these automobiles with
the gear busted."
After this remark had been made. J.
D. waited to hear what Dr. McKennon
would have to say. Addressing his
remarks to the writer the doctor said
In a low ev?n ton: and with agitation,
j "You see, it Is like this In the state
of Arkansas. No on but he extreme-
lv shiftless fleople have chills. A man
who Is good for anything at all never
chills for he has something else to do.
Jiut any time you see one who likes to
fiddle or ne. who likes to fish and oc
casionally one who llke to trade
horses, Just so sure you will .see one
who chills , every other day or every
third.".
J. D. listened attentively .and the
doctor would have gotten off without
argument had he left out the horse
