Commenting on the London Times' statement from Washington that persons of considerable importance in official circles there profess to believe that war between the United States iintl Germany is inevitable, the St James' Gazette, though it does not jelieve that such a disaster will be allowed to occur over n dispute in regard to the debts of Venezuela to uernianv, savs that it it Hoes, More can be no doubt that English sym- pithies Will be with "America. At the same tune the bt. James Gazette expresses the hope that the United States will not allow such states a Venezuela to gain the impression that they can reckon on the pro tection of the Monroe Doctrine if they choose to repudiate their obli gations to Europe. Atrs. Moxter's Address. In her address, "Work Amonir the Fiilleu," last Sabbath evening Mrs Hoxter gave soino poitlnent (new, among which was tho oriRin of the Flor ence Crittenden Homes. Mr. Charles Crittenden had been talking with i fallen but repentent woman and ad vised her to go homo. She replied I have no home." That was the ger mlnal Idea that has resulted iu the founding of sixty of these homes upon which Mr. Crittenden Is expending an neome of sixty thousand dollars a year. The description of the work of the Christian woman at the Portland Union depot convinced every one of the Im portance ot this phase of the rescue work. She spoke of "motherhood Before the marriage vow' In such earnest, tender. appealing words as to mane the heart ache for the sinful and arouse the pub lic conscience to the n6ed of deeper In terest in social purity. In fact, the words, "Be Pure," will have greater significance henceforth to many who heard her. Mrs. Hoxter's special work is to raise funds to help furnish rooms in the new building contemplated at Portland. It is certainly a worthy ob ject, a Christian work in -which she ought to be encouraged by the sym pathies and philanthropies of the pure T. L. Cra;dall, .. . Pastor Baptist Church. Mrs. W. H. Holt, of Medford, has been appointed to receive contributions for the above worthy cause and anyone who feels they can afford to donate a little money will please call upon the lady. . Cattle (or.

GOING TO DIG FOR COAL Several months ago Prof Ditmblo head geologist of tho Southern Paollle Company, and Ids assistant., J, Owen of Knglo Pans, Texas, dropped quietly Into Med to I'd and began an exiinilnii Hon of tho country with a view lo pros pooling for coal, The result of tholr Investigation eamo this week In the shape of a -lO-horso power engine and boiler and a oomploto plant for tunnel Inir purposes, including curs, 'truck and l""!,1 1111 uesonpuons, woigning annul ' ln,WHl pounds.

The company 1ms seen red hy lease and bond some 2M10 acres of land In sections 25, 2tl and art, township !IT rangn l west, and sections 11', 20 and SO, In township ilT, rumre, 1 east, located about three and one-half miles east of Medford, and Including tho Samuel Furry tract, where a good quality of coal has already been discovered. The company has bonded IW iioivs of the Jos. Grain property and 10 acres from W I. Vawter, and has leased 1120 acres of tho Furry tract, 2"0 acres from .Ins Kelly and ItlO acres from Kd Anderson I Peso arc tho largest individual tracts secured, but there are several others of smaller dimensions Ifdurtngdrilliiigforco.il beds bull cations of oil are struck thoy will bo followed, us the plant will bo equipped for this klud of work, and whether oil exists or not in the Rogue river valley will be thoroughly .demonstrated. Tho plant already here will commence opera tions near tho site of tho old tunnel on the Furry place and an incline shaft with a dip of about sixteen degrees will bo driven. From ten to twulvo mon will bo employed this winter and If a suffloient quantity of tho "black dlamouds" is found employment will bo furnished at least 500 men. As thu Southern Tacitlo Company has taken hold of this proposition aftor careful investigation on the part of its exports it is an assured fact that tho existence or nonexistence of coal and oil In this section will be satisfactorily demon strated.1 And taking all the facts into consideration, it is evident the company thinks it has a sure thing on success. - Drayman H. G. Shearer took tho big boiler and a load of lumber over to tho scene of operations on Tuesday and the rest will follow as soon as things aro in readiness. f v ' ' : r ' ' . f .. Tho establishment of this enterprise will probably inaugurate a now era In , , ., oul"no"s ln aoulnrl uregon. There no question but that the coal and oil are here; it is only a question of oapltal enougn to aemonstralo it, and with a corporation like tho Southorn Pacillo behind it the demonstration will coma.

TANGENT, OREGON Will Kesume Cayuae Pickling. The horse pickling works at Mnnton, says the1 Oregonian, will probably re- sumo operations by the middle of this month. This statement, In face of the fact that Oregon cayuie ponies are meeting a bettor demand now than for many years, seems odd,: but it la truo, and there is a good reason for It. -While 10,000 or more cow ponies have gone from tho raogus of eastern Oregon this year to supply the needs of the British armies In South Africa, and thonsands aro yet to go, and the price paid has bcon vory satisfactory to tho producer, tho faet remains that great numbers of scrub ponies are left on tbo ranges ornery, unbroken, Intractable, useless Utile brutes, consuming, ftiud that ought to go to the (aliening of meat cattle. Thoy belong to anybody who cures to put a brand on them. Tbey aro wild horses and nobody wants them. - But each of these animals takes as much range as would be required for the sustenance of a steer that will dress 1000 pound. Tho stockmen want tho rungo for their cattle, and the ruilroud companies are glad to assist 10 taking the useless cay use ponies out of the country, so there will bo more room for stock that will yield money to produc ers and carriers. The average cnyueo pony taken to the Llnnton abattoir ylulds only about sixty pounds of merchantable moat, the remainder of the cayuso going into fer tilizer, glue, leather, etc. This meat is carefully pickled ln"tlorces, and shipped to market In Prance and Hol land, where the prejudices against horse meat is not so strong as it Is In this country. These horses bring $2.75 to IS each, delivered at tbo railroad. They aro mostly owned by Indians, the "ultnals owned bv white men anhinm being so useless as to II nil their best market at tho shambles. Stall-Fed Beeves torthe flarket.
