To Parties Going East.
To passengers going east the new time card
or the Northern Pacific R. R. will be of great
interest. You can now make the trip from all
Southern Oregon points to Chicago in about 2-1
hours less than formerly the running time on
the N. P. has been shortened ten hours and the
time card changed so that you can leave Port
land at 9 o'clock a. m., instead or 5 o'clock p.
m., as heretofore. The new connection made
by'the N. P. with the Hurlington road muke
this also the shortest, quickest and best route
to Kansas. Nebraska, St. Louis and all Missouri
river points. For safety, comfort and fair
honorable treatment all unite in saying that
the N. P. is unequalled. If you wish to go east,
southeast, northeast or to Europe apply to S.
F Cass N. P. Agent, at the First National
Bank, Grants Pass, Ore. He will do you good.

A FEW OF THE
nail Reporter Makes a Brief Mention of
Nineteen Horses Now In Training at the
Central Point Fair Grounds.
It lias been the constant aim of
Tiik Mail to give to its readers a
correct report of all matters of
news; a thorough writeup of all
new enterprises ami an accurate
description of all industries per
taining to the upbuilding of Jackson
county, and which as a result is of
benefit to its people.
Following up this line of work
a Mail representative drove down
to Central 1'oint last Saturday and
paid a friendly visit to the horse
men now at the race track at the
county fair grounds.
As we drove into the grounds at
the north entrance of the grounds
a pleasing sight met our eyes.
To our right were the stables, in
front of which were a number of
men, most of whom were employed
about the grounds ; some were
I leisurely sitting about in the warm
sunshine, spinning their favorite
yarns, others were at work about
t he stabless, while some were exer
cising the horses in their charge.
Cur mission, if course, was to grl
acquainted with these men and by
them be shown the horses under
their respective charge. We at
once made known our business,
and were made welcome, and to
say that they were indeed a jolly
set of boys, would only be putting
it mild. The first two stables to
the east as we came in were occu-l boy was sired by 01ine,dam Aphier.

although she has no record, she

animal
"Bill Nve"' has quarters in the
next stall. This horse is too well
known in Jackson and adjoining
counties to need much of an intro
duction by us. He was sired by
Sam Stevens ; his dam is Kate
Myers, by Scamperdown; is seven
years old and as a "runner" is not
at all slow, having won 13 races
out of 17, starts at ail distances
ranging from one quarter to mile
heats. He is owned by W. G. Cleve
land, who is also his kecjer and
trainer. Ho will be ready to
enter the races the coming fall.
"Laura F," owned by K.T. Fraden
burg, of Ashland, is also in charge
of Mr. Cleveland. She is a beauti
ful animal, and. while only o vearslthe Klectro gait and breedin
old shows a decidedly swift gait.
She was sired by Wormwood Hilly,
known as Tom Miles' horse, herj
dam was by Scamnerdown. She I
won a i race at Yreka, also a A
mile race at -Central Point last
fall and will enter the races the
coming fall.
"Siskiyou Maid"' is another line
animal in
Mr. Cleveland's charge,
She is owned bv Goo. Rarron
of
Ashland, and although she has no
record, she is claimed to be well
bred and will undoubtedly surprise
her opponents at the races this fall.
Under the charge of Mr. George
Benson we found four fine looking
animals, the colts of the famous
stallion, Lewis P. First of these
is "A P," sired by Lewis P; dam,
Daisy P. This animal is owned
by A. H. Platter, of Althouse,
Josephine county, and will enter
the races this fall. Hois 3 years
old, but plainly shows his breeding
and will undoubtedly make a rec
ord that his owner and trainer may
feel proud of.
"Davy Crockett" is another of
Lewis l"s colts. He is a two-year-old,
'and is a fine looking animal
well built, and of a kind, gentle
disposition. He is owned by C. C.
McClendon, of Central Point, and
will be ready to enter the races
this fall.
Next along tho lino is "Susie P,
a three-year-old, sired by Lewis
SWIFT ONES.
the
P. She has never been handled
until this spring, and is showing
all qualities of a thoroughbred, and
will be one among the many to
compete at the races this fall.
She is owned by C. C. McClendon,
who is also the. owner of Lewis P.
"Althouse," sired by Lewis P;
dam Daisy P, completes the number
of Lewis P colts under Mr. Benson's
charge. This animal is a full
brother to A P and is one year
younger. He is quite large of his
age and breeding, and plainly
shows the care of his trainer. He
is also owned by Mr. Platter, of
Althouse, and is highly praised by
him.
"lied Top," sired by Conner, and
owned by George- Biker, is a three-
ye.ir-old and winch is receiving his
initiatory training. This animal has
no record, but will unless all signs
fail lie the possessor of a good
record after the fall races.
Mr. Oscar Wills, a horseman of
ability and experience, has charge
of three well known horses and
two colts, all of which are in excel
lent training and show that they
are leing bmdled by a man of
ability. First of these that was
shown to us was "Newsboy," owned
by C. Kahler, of Jacksonville.
Although this animal is G years
old he has no public record. News-
Aphier. is also owned bv Mr. Kah-i
n , ,I..r lr . h .rT.
which is showing some excellent:
'dualities. He is known as "P.alo.
and was sired bv Antaecho. his
dam was bv Tvbott. he bv Altamont. I

i
by Hon. J. . Merritt, and was

charge. He is owned bv Hon. J. V.
Merritt and Jas. McDonough, and

Dr. 0. W . McDonald has charge
of three fine horses, which plainly
show the care and training of "Doc"'
and his able assistant, Dan Llm.
First of these is "Mistletoe,"
owned by Geo. Davis, of this city.
Ho was sired by Raymond; dam.
May Alexander. Mistletoe is quite
well known in this end of the state.
He is S years old, but has no
record. He will be on hand at the
fall races.
"Gypsey," sired by Electro, dam
Fanny, is a fine young filly, owned
by W. D. Heidlenian, of Medrord.
She is o vearsoldand plainly shows
In
the
! all probability she will enter
fall races.
Oakland, owned by Capt. . I. T. C.
Nash, is another line animal in
Mr. McDonald's keeping. Oakland

have returned to San Francisco after
making a tour of the state. The excur

trip was of inestimable yalue to all and
the state will be greatly benefited when
everybody is working in harmony to

President Spreckels of the San Joa
quin Valley railroad visited Visalia. re
cently and after driving about the
country expressed the opinion that some
of these days the San Joaquin valley
will produce enough sugar to supply
the United States. When the people do
that it will mean the saving of $$0,
000,000 to this country, or rather the
keeping of that much money at home
that is now spent for imported sugar.
First Assistant Secretary Simms of
the interior department has returned to
Washington from Florida, where he
owns an orange grove. He says that the
first cold snap of the past winter, which
came in December, destroyed 2,500,000
boxes of unpacked fruit. In spite of the
great damage done the storm was a
blessing in disguise, as it checked the
growth of the trees and kept them from
being in blossom when the second cold
snap came. Hundreds of trees escaped
that would have been killed had it not
been for the first cold wave. Mr. Simms
said: "It has been truly stated that if
every house in Florida had been burned
the loss would have been less than re
sulted from the destruction of orange
trees. The people are full of pluck,
however, and have great confidence in
the future. "
Intense excitement prevails at Glas
gow, Mont., over the receipt of a letter
from John Gendeburg, a citizen of the
United States and a former resident of
the Montana town. Last October he
went to visit his parents in Russia. Im
mediately after crossing the border from
Germany into Russia he was arrested
and thrown into prison. All outside
communication was cut off and he has
been lying in jail nearly destitute of
clothing since that time. The authori
ties have refused him any trial. His
letter recites a tale of hardship and pri
vation, lhe citizens have advised Sen-

Xear Tower, in Baldwin county, Ala.,
"Railroad Bill," the negro desperado
and train robber, accompanied by seve
ral of his pals, ran upon a camp of white
i moonshiners engaged iu making whisky,
, The outlaws thought they were officers
d commeueed firing on the moonshm-
ers. Hie latter concmueu me roooers
were a revenue baud and a fusillade be
gan. "Railroad Bill" was shot six times
and several of the moonshiners were
wounded. Some are reported as being
fatally hurt, but the survivors on each
side have borne the injured away and
the result is not known.
An attempt was made a few nights
ago to lynch Charles Williams and
Moses Williams at Weaverville, Cal.
The former is serviug a life sentence in
Folsoni prison and was brought back to
testify in the Hart murder case. The
latter was acquitted of the murder of
Hart. Charles Williams confessed to
the crime and implicated Moses Will
iams in the murder at his preliminary
examination aud pleaded guilty at his
trial before the superior court. When
put on the witness stand to testify
against Moses Williams he refused to
Bay a word about the case, and instruc
tions were given the jury to acquit the
defendant, Moses Williams. The people
became incensed and a mob was organ
ized. Two ropes were taken from a
neighboring butcher shop and the mob
went to the jail, but when they entered
and made their way to the cell where
the Williamses had been confined they
found them gone. After a vain search
the mob dispersed. The jail officers had
taken the men awav.
