This Is an increase of 29 over four years ago, and 239 are neces sary to a choice, against 224 then; "You never saw a red-headed beg gar, and no one else ever saw one," says a red-headed enthusiast. "lu all my life I never saw a thriftless red -headed man or woman, and all red-headed people are the soul of en ergy and all of em have nerves. And temper) Say a fully inhabited hor nets nest hasn't a keener sense of re sentment than a red-headed te ni per nio nt. And you never saw a red-head-ed woman with a lazy husbund, or a red-headed man with a lazy wife. No 8ir!.L Red-heads surcharge all the sur rounding atmosphere with activity. J have the greatest respeot and ad miration for red-headed people, and the only reason I never tried to marry a red-headed woman is that I don't like, husbands who are afraid of their Wos." -" : Suicide Prevented.

He applied a aodu bandage to tho wound, left a noto to tho otlutt- herders telling thorn ho had been bitten by a rattler and that ho had atarted for Ken net, a dlfltauoe of throe mile. , As the snake's poison coursed through his volua ho became deranged from the piilu id lost his way on a well traveled trail. It was six hours later that Harry Iteilly, another herd er, found the tiuto. Ho started after tho Injured man, and found him in a delirious state beside tho tmil a mile from Kenuet. Rotlly rushed Doming on to town, only to Hud that there was uo phy sician there. Hut thero whs plenty of Whisky, and the victim of the snake bite was giveu lots of it.

Elliot, of the First National Bank, of Lob Angelea, and J. H. Bnrnbam, of Folsom, and Dr. R. T. Rooney, of Auburn, Calif., arrived in the city yesterday and have gone to The Lodge on Pelican Bay for an outing. A number of the business men took an excursion' on the launch Ewauna Saturday afternoon to the lower lake, returning Sunday. They were J. W. Hamaker, B. St. Geo. Bishop, J. C. Rutenio, H. Fred Shallock, W. K. Brown, U. W. Woodbury and J. R. Stilts. The party went out for an outing and incidentally to investigate the possibllties of the extension of the Weed railroad. They visited at the Davis ranch, eight miles from the lake, and J. W. Hamakar was dele gated to go on to the terminus of the Weed road. Thia was simply a pri vate investigation and shows that our people are becoming interested in more desirable transportation facil ities. The big 12 tou traotlou engine for the rock crusher arrived Tuesday, and has neon put in place with the crush er and other outfit, und is now ready for business The town board held an informal meeting last evening and ap pointed E. B. Henry, engineer in charge of the work. It 1b the inten tion of the city to begin work first on the approaches to the town. The road at either end of the town has always beeu a veritable mud hole during the spring months, and it hue baen a common occurrence for teams coming hi from the country to get mired just as they reach the town limits. Tho council are wise in build ing these first, bo that toamswill have uo trouble In reaching the city when tho bad weather sets in. After the completion of the approaches the work on the business streets wilt be done uuder contract. Ten Indians from the reservation, headed by the Rev. Jesse Kirk, came down Monday, during the absence of O. C. Applegate, at Crater lake, and held a big meeting at the court house. We understand that Jesse Kirk, the self-appointed leader, has persuaded some of his followers that tho reser vation is not being run just as it ought to lie, therefore ho advised them to srnd a petition to the govern ment asking tho department to ch ungo tilings to Hiiit them. We were informed that this was done. Those who attended the conference were: From Klamath Agency Jesse Kirk, Billy Moure, Driimmond, Logan, John Morgan and Sergeant Brown. From Vainax Henry Jackson, Isaac Jack son, Albert Jackson and Frank Kow- but. Wo wore unable to learn what the dissatisfaction was, but we under stood that the main kick was relative to the running of cattle on the reser vation. Tho meeting lasted all day Tuesday and Werlnesuduy and they j are still in conference.

Humphreys, foreman on the tunnel work of the Klitnmth Canal Co., whs discharged Sunday evening, and as a consequence all the men working on the tunnel quit work Monday out of sympathy with their boss and demanded their time. Humphreys was In t he stable of the company at the tunnel Sunday even ing when a horse stepped on his foot. It Is said Humphreys kicked the horse, when Mr. Prowl tt, of the Canal Co., who was standing by, protested against his doing so; whereupon Humphreys "sussed" Mr. Prewitt, with tho result that he was given his walking papers. Some thirty men are Involved in the sympathetic strike. Tuesday morning a largo part of the strikers' places on the tunnel work had beeu tilled by new men, with the prospect of running full handed in a day or two. Those that had struck were refused work by the com pany whon they applied for their old jobs. Tho DcHtlt lJen..lty. A little thing soim'tim'S results in death.

Advertise in The Maii,. STATE NEWS. Eugene has lost its tannery. The smokestack, the last remnant of the plant, was removed to Everett, Wash., a couple of days ago. The people are said to be breathing easier now, al though they hated to see it go. Its removal wbb due to Inability to secure hemlock bark in sufficient quantities to keep the machinery in operation. According to the news from Salem, Saturday at the deaf mute school, while excavating for a aeptie tank, a spring of water with a strong flow was tapped at a depth of eight feet that contained a large quantity of petrol eum. Water lerc in a Duonet over night contained a heavy scum of oil and had a strong petroleum smell. The water in the excavation showed the same result. Salem people are now firmer lu their belief than ever that crude oil abounds in that sec tion. Governor Chamberlain, last week, pardoned Roger Williams, a Klamath Agency Indian, who wus sentenced to serve three years in the penitentiary for larceny, and' who has served about one-half of the time. Williams is going blind from tuberoulosis of the eye, and this together with affi davits that had beeu filed tending to show doubt of his guilt, was the cause of his pardon. Williams was con victed in the circuit court of Klamath county, of having stolen a steor. A passenger on the southbound train Saturday morning reached (Jleu- dnle clad ill a handmade smile and a slumber robe, says the News. Upon retiring he bad placed hiB purse, con taining 80 under his pillow,-then de posited hiB pants, vest and under wear in the hammock stretched along the inner side of his be: til. While he was sleeping the hammock became unhooked at one end and his entire wardrobe was blowu out of the win dow. At Glendale the porter went out and purchased a suit for the un fortunate and he continued his jour ney.

Oltman last night razed two of the buHlneas blocks of the town and destroyed a large portion of the residence section. The loss will reach over $200,000. The Bank of Martinez, a handsome brick structure, was burned to the ground and several large buildings, Including the Com merclal hotel, Curry & Jones' livery stables and nail and opera house. It it Impossible to determine the origin of the conflagration, but It la believed that crossed wires started the blaze. When discovered t had gained too great a headway to be checked. The Martinez Are department did heroic work and fought every foot of the way, but proved unable to cope with the rtames. Had .the tire crossed to the Martinez hotel the whole town would have' been destroyed. There were no fatalities, though many were injured and cut by falling glass and timbers. A high west wind was blowing at the time, and made the work of fighting the flames exceedingly .difficult, every foot of available hose being pressed into service, while many formed buck et brigades and fought from .the roofs. The Benlcla fire department came over on a special boat and rendered valuable assistance. At midnight the Are was under complete control.
