A Trip to ElK Valley.
On the morning of July 30 "Un
cle" John Cabler and j-our corres
pondent started from the Holton
ranch, three miles from Talpt, for
a trip to the Elk Creek valley, the
''former in search of a homestead
and mvself to look about for a new
.field for prospective settlers. Elk
creek is a northern tributary of the
Rogue river. We reached it about
forty-five miles from our starting
lioint on the second dav, having
camped the first night at Captain
Black's free forry on the Iiogue
river, thirty-six uiiies o.i the road.
Ve found the aged captain one of
nature's truest noblemen, and
though somewhat hard of hearing
his faithful dog makes up in part
-for that deficiency. The next
morning we crossed the river, and
a drive of two miles brought us to
Knighten's Trail creek ranch and
Trail postoffice, and three miles
-Jurther brought us to Elk creek
bridge, but instead of crossing the
bridge we passed up the left bank.
TheJohnson Brothers have lately
taken out a ditch here that when
completed will keep the Alfalfa
growing from" the head to the foot
of their valuable ranch, a distance
of about fifteen miles. The ditch
ia in bad shaDe alomi about a mile
of the grade, a tact that settlers are
complaining about.
For a distance of twelve miles
we passed many fine ranches and
gardens, all well irrigated. This
brought us to the north and east
forks" and Sam Geary's ranch.
which Butte creek makes her way
from mountain topB until lost in a
quiet ravine, dashing far beyond.
To the south we turn and observe
a sparkling stream rushing through
a solid bed of rock, dancing over
pebbles, laughing at the spectators
until overtaking her sister. She
too winds her way never to return.
Allured by virdure as of spring,
tall ferns, moss cushioned rocks,
and refreshing breezes, we walk
over an oft trodden path for at least
a quarter of a mile and there enrap
tured behold the goal of 1'ead Iwl
ian strong, ioe cold soda water
springing from a rock that gladly
embosomes so great a benefactor of
man. None but they who have in
dulged the luxury fresh from the
spring can fully appreciate this of
Nature s wonders.
Far removed from the bustle of
the busy world we fish and hunt
with success that the Indian might
well envy, and on the shaded hill
tops gather berries to our hearts'
content. When the candles of
heaven are lighted about eighty of
ns in number cather around a
cheerful bon-lire when a couple of
hours are devoted to music and
SOng. Under the superior supervis- definite information ha been received

SOLDIERS TO BE SPARED.
They WoaUt He Heen Beheaded Under

The stipulation in the treaty of peace
between China nnd Japan that the
Chinese who have been captured by
the Japanese nml others who sold sup
plies to the Japnnese troops in their
march throujrh Manchuria and Shant
ung shall not tie punished by the
Chines authorities, was inspired by
humane considerations. It is the cus
tom of China to behead such of her sol
diers as fall into the hands of the ene
my, and are afterward returned to their
country. lhirinjr several naval and
land ouirapomonts tipward of five
thousand Chinese troops were captured
bv Japanese, nnd it is to preserve their
lives that the forofroinjr provision was
inserted in the treaty. The same con
siderations influenced the other provi
sion relative to the purchase of sup
plies from Chinese subjects. The curi
ous fact develops in this connection
that China has not a single prisoner of
war beloiifrinp to Japan.
The I'nilod Tress dispatch, which
contained the exclusive announcement
that the indemnitv of two hundred mil
lion taels will be paid in seven yearly
installments di Iters from official reports
previously received, which limited the
payment to live instead of seven install

the statement contained in the I'nited
Press dispatch is correct. i Into no

The morning of the third day
out I left my friend Cabler with our
mutual friend, Graham, and went
with the ponies to the Willitts
nch, up the east branch. Mr.
' Willitts is a college graduate, and a
son of Amos Willitts, of Ashland,
who, with his wife, a daughter of
J. B. Wrisley,of Medford, and their
children have resided here for ten
years with the nearest neighbors
six miles away. They own thirty
acres of well watered glade and all
outside range. Asked if they were
lonesome, they said they were not
at all" as work and good health
aade tip for all disadvantages, j
he Willitts' have a garden con-,
taining as fine vegetables and ber
ries as can be found anywhere in
the Rogue river valley. Mr. Wil
litts is 6tate game overseer for his
locality.
But notwithstanding the fact that
they said they were not lonesome,
these people are very anxious to
hive settlers nearer, as they are
the only settlers in township 32
south, range 2 east. And there is
no reason why they should expect
them, as there is all here that a
ypung man might desire (next to a
wife) to make him a home. The
soil is rich, a dark 'loam, not very
refcky, but well timbered and
watered. Every acre can be irri
gated. The outlet is Elk creek
alley by easy grades, passing only
one low divide, and then a goou
state and county road to the South
ern Pacific Railroad company at
Medford or Central Point, about
thirtv-five miles from the junction
of Elk creek and the Rogue river.
A county road has been graded
part of the way along Elk creek
for ten miles, and has been extend
ed by county appropriations along
the east branch six miles further
up. The heads of the branches
abound in open glades and springs;
fishing and hunting is the best on
the coast, while frost does not hurt
fruit, grain or vegetables. A young
man that cannot make a home here
in a few years is no good.
William Willitts knows the cor
ners and lines and holds himself in )
readiness to, for a small fee, show
home-seeker9 over this vast area of
half a county of vacant domain.
His address is Prospect, Jackson
cotnty, Oregon.

terrified, she rushed to the concierge
to make inquiries, and after some pre

the two servants, fancying their mis

had gone to a notorious dancing place,
taking the baby with them, and there

quiries after her child, the housemaid!
impudently told her mistress whose 1
smartest new gown she had lorrowed
for the evening, by the way "that
madam need not excite herself, the
infant was in good hands." At first
she refused to say where; but by dint
of threats it was dragged from her

inn close at hand. Here the enraged
parent found her precious offspring
asleep in a filthy bed with eight other
children, who were all being taken

wretches were dismissed on the spot.
NEW WOMEN IN ENGLAND.
Kecent Judicial Opinions TChli-li Will In
terest Thrm.
Two or three of her majesty's judges
have given expression to sentiments of
particular interest to womankind, says
the New York Sun. Thus Sir Forest
Fulton, the Recorder Smyth of the Lon
don criminal courts, instructed a jury
that "bigamy on the part of a woman
was a very different thing from bigamy
on the part of a man. and the jury
must require strong evidence that the
prisoner was aware that her husband
vvas alive when she contracted her sec
ond marriage."
The judge of another court when tak
ing his seat on the bench saw some one
in the public gallery wearing a stand
ing collar and four-in-hand with a cap
on his head. "Take off that hat up
there!" cried the judge, severely. There
was no movement. "Take off that hat,
sir!" came the order again, in the stern
est tones from the bench.
Then came the reply in a weak voice
from the gallery:
"Please, your honor, it's a lady."
The judge started for a moment, and
then exclaimed:
"A woman, is it? Then wliy does
she dress like that?"
There was no explanation, and the
business of the court went on.
Another judge decided, to the con
sternation of English housewives, that
a mistress has no right to compel serv
ants to pay for broken crockery or to
discharge them without notice for such
faults unless it is the agreement when
the servant is engaged.

No doubt there is a tension in many of
the international relations, but that is
always present, Bnd diplomats nre
growing more reasonable. It is proba
ble that what has lccn said of the char
acter of Nicholas is in the main true:
and this should lead him to follow in
the footsteps of his illustrious father
and make Uussia still the dictator of
peace.
No man will be rash enough to say
that war may not come. Kvery one of
the continents has spots where an acci
dental outbreak, the blunder of an
overzealous servant, may work such a
hardship, actual or ideal, to some great
power as shall call for nn excited de
mand for reparation. It is then that
cool heads, if not thick skins, are in
demand; and it is then that the effer
vescence of journalists in search of
circulation or notoriety dcs most harm.
The human an'iiuil. according to his
kind, is the silliest of all animals, if we !
measure him riirhtly. I know of no;

freaks, and it is on these that peace or
war hangs by a hair. Hut. to resume.
I do not believe, despite all the talk,
that there is in the present status of
the world a set of conditions which will
lead to early war.
The l-ke or llloo.l.
Every polar expedition and whaling J
vessel which visits the Itafhn bay region
puts in at Yaureke Hank, so as to al
low explorers ami seamen to visit the
celebrated t.ake of l.lood. Of it the
author of ".My Summer in the North"
says: "It is a lake of considerable ex
tent, lying only a few. feet aliovc the
level of the sea, and appears of a deep
dark blood red. Careful examin
ation proved, however, that the wateri
itself was as pure and clear as possible;
the red effect being due to the fact that i
the bottom and sides of the lake, as
well as the few stones which were scat
tered about in it, were coated most per
fectly with the red snow plant. In
some places, where the water had evap
orated, the withered red plants on the
soil and rocks looked exactly like dried
spots of blood.

M. Oovaroff , the Russian electrician of

have made some investigation concern
ing the liability to lightning stroke of
certain species of trees. In the sum

and during that time found .V.I7 trees that
