What Papers Say
THE CRATER LAKE ROAD.
(Oregon Jouriml.)
Speaking of tho project for a fine
public highway to Crater lake, after
his departure from Oregon, Mr. Harri
man Baid:
"X am heartily in Hvmpatliy with
the movement and will be glad to di
anything I can do hi the building of a
fine boulevard from Medford to the
lako and Klamath Falls. No invent
mont Oregon can make will yield big
gor returns than money invented in
making Crator lako aecsesiblo to tour
ists, for it is the greatest natural won
der in tho world, and thousands will
come from all parts to view it."
Ho also stated that though he could
not attend to the matter in person,
General Manager OM.rien would net
in his place. It is encouraging that Mr.
Harriman has thus expressed himself,
and that Mr. O'Brien will be delegated
to tako his jiluco on the committee ap
pointed. This is really an important movement.
As Mr. II urn man sayM, thousands will
conio annually to view this "greatest
natural wonder in tho world." They
will spend a great deal of money in
Oregon, but moro than that, many of
them will return to settle here, und
their reports will bring other settlers
and investors, people with means, and
who will energrtieally aid in Oreguii'B
development.
Bo this is not merely a local affair,
nor designed solely for the pleasure of
automobilo tourists. It is a project
that will benefit the whole Hlnte,
well as southern Oregon.

A TENDERFOOT'S REVENGE.
Bully of Now Mexico Town Had tho
Tables Turned on Him.
The average tenderfoot is not a cow
ard. He siuiply lacks ranch experi
ence. An frustration of this fact oc
curred down In New Mexico several
year ago. One day n pile looking,
thin and sickly young man alighted
from the train and put up at the lit
tie adobe hotel nt Hernal Springs. The
tenderfoot walked up to the bar and
called for a bottle of soda pop.
"'Tain't allowed to drink that sort o'
stuff out hero," Bald a toughy. "What
you want 1b a stiff drink o' red llrjuor.
Mr. Barkeeper, set out the plson for
this young feller." "You bare the best
f nie," replied the tenderfoot, "and
I'll have to drink the HtulT, but I hope
the time may come when I can make
you drink my choice of liquid."
The tenderfoot raised tho glass and
gulped down the whisky. Sandy bud
had bis wny ulwut it. nnd he made no
effort to comprehend the vague remark
of the stranger. The tenderfoot left
for a ranch down the Pecos the next
day after the Incident In the saloon,
and be was forgotten until one after
uooa more than a year afterward a
strong, lieu I thy looking young man
rod up to the hotel on a broncbo, j
dropped the bridle reins upon the
ground and dismounted. Ho bad the
up pea ran cc of a typical young man of
tho range. Ills face was bronzed and
his eyes clear nnd peuetratlng. "I owe
a fellow a debt which I believe I will
pny right now," the stranger said.
No sooner bad he made the remark
than ho walked off in the dlreetlou of
Sandy, who had his gun in bis right
hand and was firing It Into the air
every few steps. The stranger ap
proached Sandy, pulled bis gun and
unceremoniously drugged the bully up
to the saloon and led him in that fash
ion up to the bar. "Get mo a pan of
water nnd set It upon the floor," he
said to the barkeeper.
Tho order was complied with, Sandy
standing there meekly, wondering whut
was going to hnppeu to him. "Now,
get down on the floor and drink water
out of that pau like a dog," the former
tenderfoot ordered. Sandy at llrst re
fused, but wheu the stranger begau
twirling his gun around on his fore lin
ger and said the order must be obeyed
the cowed fellow unlluibercd nnd lay
down upon the floor and began drink
ing water out of the pan. Denver Field

LUMBER YAED BURNS
IN BAN FRANCISCO
SAX F3AXCISC0, Cal., Sept. 11.
It is believed today that the loss sus
tained by the Van Arsdale-Harris Lum
ber company and Edward F. Niehaus
& Co. in a disastrous lumber yard fire
lust nigl.t will amount to up to a quur
ter of a million dollars.
Starting from some unknown cause,
the flumes gained such headway In the
lumber yardB at Fifth and Brannon
streets that it was impossible to save
the costly stock of hardwood and the
mills, which occupied the property. Aft
ter a fight of four hours, the flames
were checked and prevented from
spreading through the lumber und plan
ing mill district.

ST. PKTi:itSltl'I(i, Sept. II. Pes
'lite the prohibition by the governineni
of an official eelubratiun in honor ot
the Silih birthday of Count Leo To!
itoi, yesterday was virtually a holiday
in Russia. The efforts uf (he govern
nieiit to prevent any celebration hm
served only to increase the entliusiasu
f the people, and all classes are cele
braling the anniversary of the birthday
f the great Russian philosopher.
All atlempts at formal demount rn
tion have been suppressed. The gov
mm. 'id has ordered every theater ti
the rmpiro closed iu order to prevent
anay demonstration by Tolstoi's ad
mirers.
Count Tolstoi is spending a quiet day

VANCOUVER, H. C, Sept. Id. lion.

U ASIUXliToN, Sept. 11. Signs'
orps men freely t press (ho belief
hat Orvillo Wright, who shattered al
records iu his three story making nor
tplane flights yesterday, will be aid.
to exceed by a wide margin tho re
quiioinents of the war department.
One oOIcial predicted that the Wright
leroplane Mondl be able to make 4:'
niles an hour. The matter of remain
;ng in the air fur a given length of
times bothers no one now. since Wright
"ailed last t'veiiinif for til! minutes nnd.
l,"i seconds with perfect ease. f
Orville Wright is the hero of the I
lay and his claim to the title uf king
'f the air," though not nduinced bv I
himself, is not disputed. Ho has re
1 congratulations from aeronauts!
from all parts of the Knited Staten nnd
Europe, but is calm and unassuming as

the machine would do it. I
the First Pony Express
Nearing Sacramento.
Cornelius One, ex-senntor from Cull
fornla, ltd Is in bis uieiuofrs how the
first "pony express" reached Sacra
mento, Cal., long before the llrst trans
continental railroad was surveyed: J
' loose who were there to witness It
will never fovget the arrival of the
first of these exprcsH messengers at
Sacramento. It was an iteration of
great rejoicing, u ml everybody, bigninl
little, old a ml young, turned out to
see the fun. All business for the time
was suspended. Even the courts ad
journed for the event. A largo num
ber of the citizens of all classes, grave
and gay, mounted on font horses, rot It;
out some miles on (he line to meet l!u-
Incumiug wonder.
The waiting was not long. The lit- .
tie rider upon his blooded charger, un
der whip and spur, came down upon
them like a meteor, but made not the!
slightest ball to greet bis many visit- 1
ors. Then began a race of all that
waiting throng over the stretch tm.U
to the city, the like of which bus never
been seen. It may have been rivaled
In speed and confusion by mnne of tho
cavalry disasters dining the war that
presently followed, but the peaceful
people uf Sacramento, 1 mil sure, never
beheld anything of the hind before or
afterward.
The whole eiivahaile, tdmi'ihtg nnd
cheering, some waving banners and
bareheaded, tiding al (be top of their
speed, dashing down .1 street, might
have been taken, had It occurred on
the plains for a bund of wild Co
manclten, but the little mail eani.-,
paid no intention to them and kept iu
the lead."
