In reference to his retirement frnni

RAILROADS WILL FIGHT
SUGAR TRUST TO FINISH
WASHINGTON', Sept. 28. Attorneys
for the New York Central, West Shore,
Lehigh Valley and Yackawnnna mads
today are preparing to combat rharucs
of rebating to tho sugar trust, under
the p ret en we of making nllownuee for
accessorial services, made by Frank
I j. Xeall of Philadelphia.
According to allegations of I lie com
plaint, which was filed with the inter
state commerce commission by Attorney
Ward W. Pierson, the rebates amount to
1.H9 per ton on shipments from Now
York to the west.
The railroad companies mentioned
pay 6 1-5 cents per hundred pounds for
lighterage and cartage from the refin
eries in Brooklyn to the freight si a
tions in New Jersey. The assertion is
made that as a mutter of fact there is
no cartage aud that the cost of hauling
cars loaded with sugar from Brooklyn
to the freight stations could be cov
ered by an allowance of 2 cents per
hundred.

TEN ACRES OF LAND
BRINOS $1G,000
UOOD RIVER, Or., Sept. 2.
Sixteen thousand dollars for
a ten acre fruit farm was the
price paid by Frank F.. Deem,
an Illinois roan. The tract
bought by Mr. Deem has no
buildings on it and the price is
therefore a straight one of
I flOO per acre. This is the high
est price by $300 per acre that
orchard land has ever sold for
at Hood River, and is said to be
the highest ever paid in the
state. Tup orchard is in " year
old Spitzenberg and Newtown
trees that had a fine crop but
year and also have n gmtd yield
this year.
The purchase is part of a .10
acre orchard of young trees own
ed by M. M. Hill, a former low-a
man, who cam here a few years
ago and set it out and is located
on the cat side of the valley
near the Mt. Hood railroad.
While the price is the highest
that has ever been received here
orchardmen say that Hood Hiv
er hearing orchards have not yet
reached their top price.

BLIND SENATOR
DISCUSSES ISSUES
OF THE CAMPAIGN
Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma Regretted
That He Could Not Visit Roguo Riv
er Valley Talks to Voters of South
ern Oregon Through The Tribune.
'Hon. Thomas P. Gore, the "blind
orator," United States senator from
Oklahoma, passed through Med ford Sun
day on his way south to fill engage
ments throughout California, and it is
to be regretted that it was not possi
ble to have him speak in Mod ford ns he
did in Rosebnrg. Hy the hanny coin
cidences of events, Se it n't or Fore has
been thrown into the polil icnl arena
this year. He is a firm believer in the
guaranty of bank deposits, and his
words carry weight owing tit the fact
thai he is- from a state that has tried
out the new law.
Mr. Gore speaks with n fervor and
distinctness that carries conviction. He
has a knack of making one believe what
he says, aud enthusiasm he can awak
en that intense enthusiasm that is the
chief asset of a great speaker, even
when enrrying on a casual conversa
tion. Mr. Gore was found resting in his
Pullman berth attending to some cor
respondence, which he swept to one side
when nsked for a few moments of his
time in which to tender to I he voters
of sunt hern Oregon, t li rough The Tri
Itune, his message.
Wanted to Stop Over.
" 1 'm sorry, very sorry," said .Mr.
Gore, ' ' t hat I have not t he opport u
nitv to stop over in Med ford ami learn
more of southern Oregon. I know the
Rogue Itiver valley in a way that is
distinct. Vour senator, Jonathan
Hourne, presented me, last fall, wit h
an eh-gaiit basket of pears, and since
that t ime I have often thought of
far away Oregon ami where that del
ions fruit is found.
"Oregon is a wonderful state, he
continued, "and the eyes of the nation
turned this wav when the voters of this
commonwealth took matters in their
own hands and chose n 'senator to rep
resent t hem in I be Pin ted Stales sen
ate. Yours is ' certainlv u wonderful
state. ' '
The Bank Guaranty Law.
After speaking of Oregon. Senator
Gore plunged directly into t he heart
of the issues of the campaign. Speak
ing of the guaranty banking law he
said :
"In Oklahoma the guarantee of bank.
leposits is a success, and neighboring
states, watching our experiment, have
become favorably impressed with the
plan. In fact, many Kansas men nre
sending money for deposits in our banks
knowing even in this age of specula
tion that when deposits are guaranteed
bv the state thai thev are safe. Money
is being taken from hiding places and
put into circulation. Oklahoma has led
the way in this respect nnd the whole
plan is proving of great, benefit in
rpbuilding the state. There are no
more howling mobs in our state.
"Since the plan has been operative
four banks have failed. The wtale im
medintelv took the matter in hand and
there were no long tines of waiting do
nositors. When it was convenient the
farmers came in and got their money.
The argument that it would make dis
honest bankers is not tenable, owing
to the fact that there are dishonest
bankers at the present lime. When
voif prevent a loss of confidence yon
prevent a panic, and I maintain that
Ho; law which prevents panics is n
;dcndid law.
Tho Trusts.
"What n man earns he should have.
What n man has he should earn. This
is the fundamental principle underly
ing the democrat ic platform, and t he
principle upon which our party bases it
claims for the votes of the nation, - l'n
dor the present system this is impossi
ble, for everv one of us is forced to
pay revenue to the trusts. We stand
against the centralization of either po
litical or industrial power in a few
hands. In both puses it is destructive
t'i human liberty an. I there can be no
gainsaying the frn-t that the trusts are
the offspring of the republican party.
Onr platform defines our position in
the matter when it specifies three rem
(dies as follows:
"'First- A law preventing a dupli
cation of directors among competing
corporation-; second, a license nvstern

of each lnte to create corjiorat ions, or

IS BLESSED
Large Crowd Attends the
Ceremonies WhiGh Were
Conduced by Archbishop
The blessing of St. Mary's academy
in this city by the Mont Reverend Alex
ander Christie of Portland was a most
beaut if nl ceremony and was done in
the presence of some hundreds of local
persons, the greater percentage of wl t
wore Protestants. The archbishop made
a short address telling of the work the
ucadciuv intended to accomplish.
The archbishop was met nt Ashland
by Or. .1. T. Keddy, John Ortli, Dr.
Conroy, Dr. Pickel, Father Van Clar
enbeck, Father Lane, Father La Venue
ami Father McDonald. The trip to
Med ford was made by automobile, the
party driving directly to the school,
where the ceremony was conducted.
Archbishop 'hrislic will again visit

the new school is completed. Do is

To Father Van Clurenbeek, or Fill her
Van as lie is called in thai affection
which finds its expression in dimin
utives, belongs the credit for tho work
done in this city. Mis efforts have
been conducive of much material bene
fit to this city. He has raised funds
Mir the building of St. Mary's academy,
which lias an enroll menl of near 100
pupils nt the present time; ho has (mil!

One example will suffice as showing
Fat her Van 's wonderful self denial
when the interests of his charge in
Med ford are nt slake. Not content
with giving all of his salary towards

house in order to apply the money to

years, while he in content to live in a

NEW
HOIS AM
ENDANGERED
Reinhart's Bungalow In
West Medford Destroyed
by Fire-The Department
Turns Out in Fast Snaps
rite, which was purely the work of n
fire bug, completely destroyed the new
bungalow of contractur Iteinhart in
West Medford late Sunday evening, and
endangered several homes in that vicin
ity. The bungalow was unoccupied, the
fire starling from n pile of newspapers
and a gunny sack soaked in kerosine oil,
and placed against tho corner of the
house. The fire ran up the side of Hie
building, catching the roof which was
first to burn.
Considerable difficulty was encount
ered in turning in an alarm. None of
the telephone lines in the neighborhood
were in use, giving rise immediately to
the theory that some one hud cut the
lines previous to setting fire to the
building. It develops, however, that a
house had been moved in that neigh
borhood Saturday breaking connections.
Department Out in Hurry
The fire department responded in a
hurr
when the alarm finally reached
them. The fire team purchased a few
weeks ago by council took their places
well and made the long run in splendid
time. No time was lost in connecting
up with the tap on Tenth street and
tioil feet of hose was run out. It then
developed thai there was hut verv little
water with which to fight the flames.
Sufficient was had however to keen
the flames from spreading.
The boys of the fire company lUMpiit
ted themselves in splendid shape doing
all in their power to check the flames,
handicapped as they were by the lack
of wafer and the slowness with which
the alarm reached them.
Of Incendiary Origin
Those who were first on the scene
were not at loss for Hie origin of the
fire. The papers and suck soaked with
oil pointed clearly 1o the fact that I he
place was deliberately burnt. The place
binned slowly and hail there been any
water whatever available it could- easily
have ben saved.
A largo crowd sou gathered home oOO
people being present before the flames
re checked. Mr. Ifeinhart is at a
his regarding the firebug. He stated
small amount of insurance on Hie
properly.
DIVER HAS FIERCE
FIGHT WITH DEVIL FISH
SAN UAFAKL, Oul., Sept. 28. Mar
tin Lund, a divnr for the Pacific (-'oast
Wrecking company, is today recover
ing from a terrible experience in a fight
with a monster devil fish whilo ho was
in seven fathoms of water last Satur
day afternoon at Fort Ross Cove work
ing on the Pomona, which was wrecked!
some months ago.
C. A". Wetmore, secretary of the com
pany, who is here today, tells the story
of the fight mndo by the plucky diver.
Lund was working in the hold of the
wrecked vessel when ho was seized by
the tentacle of a devil fish. He slashed
at the thing with his knuife and gave
the signal to be hoisted. The devil fish
had too strong a hold of him, aud he
had to signal the helpers to cease their
efforts to haul him to the surface be
ause his helmet wns giving way.
Another tentacle grasped him about
t he wa 1st a ml si i II aiiot her about t he
neck. Then another grasped him about
the egn and he had to fight hard for
life. After cutting two of the tough
tentacles ami that which grasped him
in a deathlike embrace, Lund saw the
creature preparing to strike with its
beak and he made a lunge for the heat)
just in time to deal a death blow.

from cholera at present, and despite
emphatic denials, there is no doubt that
many cases have appeared in east Prus
sia, Austria, Hungary nnd Poland. The
winter's cold is expected to check it
before it becomes serious outside the
czar's territory, but that there will be
nuother ami more violent outbreak in
the spring there is little doubt.
For four or five years the disease
has appeared regularly every summer
in Astrakhan Hut it was not until this
season that it became epidemic. As
a result of the carelessness of the Rus
sian health authorities, it spread west
ward steadily through the summer, but
even when it first appeared in St. Pe

part of the officials to check
it.
