THE 1DF01 MAIL Publlahod Every Friday Morning. A. S. BLITON. Mhdford, Friday, Jung 7, 1901. I WAl SOKN TO HUSTLE. Ha l of taw daya; but quite a plenty, SUBSCRIPTION $1.50 PER YEAR colored In the Poa'toOioa at Medford, Oregon aa Second-Class Mall Halter. Will Not Pay Shortage; There Is no Indication, thus far, that an; members of the Land 1j ard undor whose administration -the DjvN de falcation occurred, have .any iutuiition of paying any part of the $31,000, lost in thn snhnnl funds, savs the Oregon- lan. The fcoard In question was com posed of Governor Pennoyer, Secretary of State McBrlde and State Treasurer Metschan. Attorney-General Black burn wrote to Messrs. Pennoyer anil Metschan, stating the facts as to the shortage, and asking them whether they would repay the money. No let ter was written to George W. McBrlde -because the Attorney-General does not know the ex-Secretary's address. Pen noyer and Metschan have both answer ed, stating that they will not pay the amount lost during their term as mem bers of the Land Board. What the next step will be can only be conjectured. Attorney-General Blackburn Is working on the matter, and will probably begin an action of some kind in the near future, but whether it will be against the mem' bera of the board on the ground that the shortage of the clerk is their short age, or against them on the ground that the shortage was due to their neg ligence, or against Davis' bondsmen, is not known. Salem, Or., June 3. Attorney-Gen eral Blackburn baa prepared a com plaint in an action against Sylvester Pennoyer, George W. McBrlde and Phil Metschan, the men who consti tuted the 8tate Land Board at the time ol the Davis defalcation, and will send it to District Attorney Chamberlain to morrow for consideration. The action will be brought in Multnomah County and District Attorney Chamberlain -will be associated with the Attorney General as attorney for the state. The complaint wilt be framed upon upon the theory that the clerk of the School Land Board was the agent of the board and not an agent of the state; that his defalcation was a defalcation of the board, for which the member3 of the board are distinctly responsible to the state. While all the details of the complaint cannot now be given, It is known that Judge Blackburn has drawn the papers so that they state all the facts regarding the shortage. The questions involved, therefore, may be tried on a demurrer, thus making it posslDly unnecessary to incur the ex pense of a trial. - - ivugfcu v a a- aa a-ra iai 1 a w To the Editor: Since being treated by Dr. Darrin last month, for deafness, of which he cured me, I feel so well pleased with the doctor and his method of treatment that I have brought my vile to Medford and we will remain here during the doctor's stay and take treatments from him.

Without a doubt it will not bo many months before It will bo known whether oil exists boneath the fertile hills and valleys surrounding the town of Mod ford. ' On Wednesday of this wook a com pany was organised In this' city. The name givon it Is the Rogue Rlvor Val loy OH Company. Artlolcs of Incorpo ration have boon filed with the secre tary of sthto and with the county olerk. Tho capital stock Is 250,000, dlvUlod into 500,000 shares at a par value of R'l cents each. Tho Incorporators are T. E. Hills, of Ashland, P. M. Stow." . G. H. Howland, J. A. Perry and A . Bllton, of Medford. Head olllco vl!l be in Medford. The company has over 600 aarr- n land leased, upon overy acre of wli.uii there are Indications that oil exists. Upon portions of this land there Is no doubt but that there is oil. Oil, or a substanco, which, to eyes other than those of experts, resembles rill, has been discovered, but by an export who has made a study of oil and is direct from the oil regions of California It is pronounced to be oil beyond a doubt. If oil exists on the surface it must sorely have a fountain head some place and to discover this head is the inten tion of this company and the object of its organization. The stook will be plaood on tho mar ket at twenty cents per share and when enough is sold to warrant the com mencement of a well work will at once begin. The exact location of this ex perimental well has not as yet been de termined, nor will it be until all tho oompany's lands have been thoroughly exported, or prospected. Should It be found, after going a reasonable depth, that oil does not exist the artesian well theory held by many In tho valley may nave been exploded, and, on or no oil, the experiment will not nave Been at effort wholly lost.

Obituary Henry II. Davis. Henry U. Oovls was bom in Ottawa Countv. Kansas. Nov. 23, 187(1. Ho was married to Clara Mooro, by Kov. Henry oftliuM, K. Olmruh, at Tusoon, Arl noun, April i!8, 1M)0. Ho died May 'JO, 1001, at Klamntli Fulls, Oregon, us the result of tho accidental discharge of gun. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs, Wm. Duvin, of Medford, and to this place ho was brought and Interred May 31st. By his genial nature and friendly niniiuor he won the friendship of all with whom ho camo in contact. He wns In fatuatud with tho gnmo of bate ball, and though ho nover felt that it was right he I'nnl.i not always withstand tho tomp tii to play on Suudav. When ho uaa on his death lied this wns on his mind anil ho said, "If I should live I will never pluy ball again on Sunday." Tho fnuornl services were conducted at tho Baptist Chuch by the pastor, Rov.T. L, Crandall, nssistod by Kov. W. B. Mooro, paBtor of the M.E. Church. The text lor tho sad occasion was I. Voter, v: 7 "Casting all your oaro upon Him fof ho careth for you." Tho pastor said in part, "There are times when thore !b no voice nor human sympathy that can stay tho soul ; enable it to bear up undor its crushing bunion. There has come avain and again thounlooked for, sudden, terrible, inexorable calamity until the soul erics out in anguish for help. Such help is proffored you, who this dny arc silk-ken with this sudden and great sor row. 'Consider the tender care of our God.' says the Psalmist, 'Ho givoth to tho heart his food, and to tho young ravens which cry.' If ho hears the young ravens when they cry will not the soul's pleadings weighted with the realitios of etornity reach tho ear of Al mighty God? While time is swiftly bearing tho soul away would our God stop on some flno theologic technicality and leave the soul to periBh while pload ing with him? The prayer of the dying man, the pleading of the heart broken wife, we believe were heard and gra ciouBly answered by our heavenly Father. As we are gathered today in honor of his memory his eyes see not, they are glazed with death; his ears hear not, they are dull with death ; his lips speak not, they are silent with doath; but could Henry DaviB speak to you, young men, out of the eloquence of his soul, he would pour into your ears the importance of reverencing God and obeying liij law. He cannot speak (o yin today, but do not those lips that are silent in death appeal to you with-an eloquence that no mortal speech can equal? On Inst Wednesday full of life and buoyant with hope he met the fatal accident t'.at left him only time enough to speak words of cheer to his dear wife and only time enough to pray as he had been taught by his praying parents." The hymns for the occasion, selected by the family, were most impressively rendered by the Baptist choir. Tho last hymn, "God Be With You Till We Meet Again," seemed especially appropriate. as he and his wife had sung it shir'lv beforo his accident. The floral tii'mu-s of his friends were abundant mid beauti ful. The floral designs by the Fraternal Brotherhood and the Washington Life insurance Uompnny, ol which he was a member, were rich and appropriate. Such was the interest in Mr. Davis nnd sympathy for the heart stricken rela tives that there w.is not room in the commodious hnilding for the people and the funeral procession wns tho largest ever seen in Medford, The ceremony at the cemetery by the Fraternal Brother hood was very impressive. Qnestion Answered. Yes, August Flower still has the larg est sale of any medicine in tho civilized world, your mothers and grandmoth ers never thought of using anything else for Indigestion or biliousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of appendicitis, nervous prostra tion or heart failure, etc. Tboy used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate tho action of the liver. stimulate the nervous and organic ac tion of tbo system, and thnt is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You onlv need a few doses of Green's Angnst Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. Get Green' Prize Almanac. Chas. Strang, druggist. ninlsterial Association Resolutions, In view of the departure of Rev. O. J.
