STEEl VISIT
To Urge Appropriation
With Which to Construct
Road From This County
to Crater Lake.
The passage of 11 resolution by the
Cum mere iul club at their regular meet
ing Wednesday evening endorsing the
sending of Will 0. Steel to Washington
to urge uu appropriation for the (Ira
tor Inko road was the moHt important
business to be considered. Mr. Steel ad
dressed the club and after considerable
discussion the following resolution wsis
passed:
Whereas, The building and construc
tion of a first-class wagon road from
some point on the line of the Southern
Pacific railroad in Jackson county to
Crater lake will be of great and inesti
mable value to the people of Jackson
county, as it will not only be a thor
oughfare for practical use by a large
number of the inhabitants of said coun
ty who livo in tho vicinity of said
road but will, at thennmo time, furnish
t lie best a nd most desi ruble route to
tho great, forests of tho upper ltogue
country, and to the unparalleled scen
ery of that region; and
Whereas, Crater lake is justly regard
ed as one of the great natural wonders
of the world, and its reputation as such
is rapidly becoming known Jo tourists
and others', the numbers of which are
increasing yearly) and who expend a
large amount of money among the pen
pie of Jackson county; and
Whereas, There is not at this time
auy good practical road leading from
t he sett led port ions of 1 he county t o
Crater lake; and
Whereas, We believe that the loca
tion of Crater lako and the beautiful
and sublime scenery along the line of
said road and in the vicinity of said
lako is a valuable asset to the material
resources of Jackson county and its peo
ple; Endorse the Movement.
Therefore, we, the Commercial club
of Medford, Oregon, in regular meeting
assembled, and being fully advised as
to the importance of having a first-class
rond leading from Rogue Itiver valley
to Crater lako or at least to the west
ern border of'tho forest reserve at or
near tho falls of ltogue river; and being
further advised that, now is tho time
to urge tho construction of such a road,
and to enlist financial aid from the
genera! government, anil from the coin
ing session of the Oregon legislature,
and believing that it is of the highest,
importance that some well informed
person, who is thoroughly conversant
with said region of county, and the ne
cessity of having a firrt class road there
to, be sent nt once to Washington city
and there confer with tho governmental
departments in referenco to tho same,
and to secure, if possible, such finan
cial aid as wilt insure the construction
of such a road through that portion of
the country that is within the present
forest reserve and tho Crater Lake na
tional park; and believing that no per
son in the state of Oregon or elsewhere
is better informed on tho subject than
Mr.. Will 0. Steel, who has devoted
years in o close and careful study of
tho Crater lake region, nnd who is an
enthusiast in everything pertaining
thereto;
We therefore most heartily recom
mend and urge that Mr. Steel be ap
peinted by the comity court of .Tack
sou county as a representative of Jack
son county nnd its people, and that such
reasonable appropriation be made as
may be necessary to defray his expenses
to Washington citv and return.

appeared in November
No Trace Is Found.
Relatives of Fdwnrd Swartz, who
proved up on a homestead on Evans
eroek November 10 and who left short
ly afterwards from his home in Pros
sor, Wnsh.fc are keeping the telegrnph
wires hot in an endeavor to locato the
inuii who has not been ssen since he
left this city in the early part of No
vember. Swartz owns considerable
property in Washington nnd there, as
fur as iv known, no reason for his sud
den disappearance.
Swart 7. came to this city somo thin
ago and was located upon u homestead
by A. H, Saling, the homestead being
on Kvans creek. On . November 10
Swartz went before County Clerk Cole
man and made final proof upon the
homestead, his witnesses being A. It.
Saling and E. C. Pomeroy of Reagle.
Swartz borrowed $:t0 from Mr. Saling
with which to prove up and left for
Washington promising to return the $30
as soon as he reached home. Mr. Sal
iug was careful to inform him that he
made the loan only for a Bhort period
and must be repaid soon. This Swart z
promised to do, nnd left, presumably,
for his home in Washington.
After (Wne two weeks went by Mr.
Saling wrote to Swartz nnd received
jib reply. lie then wrote to a real es
tate dealer of Prosser and asked regard
ing Swartz. The rjply came back that
Swartz had not returned to his home in
Washington and that a neighbor was
still caring for his team. Then. Mr. Sal
ing wrote to the real estate man nnd
told him the facts in the case. In n
letter which was received a few days
ago tho realty dealer t Prosser said
that he was about to write to relatives
of Swartz who lived in Aberdeen, N.
1. It is thought that they have just
received this letter and are now wiring
to locate the man.
The police in the different cities
throughout the northwest have been
notified of Swartz' disappearance nnd
an endeavor will be made to locate
him. All of the man's affairs are said
to be in perfect order.
SwartK was a heavy set man, rather
nil, smooth face and about 30 years of
age. lie was unmarried.

BERLIN LIKES BRAINS IN

BERLIN, Dec. 17. "We rejoice that
Mr. Hill has been appointed ambassador
by the United States," declared Radical
Representative Hnussmnn in the reich
stag today, "and that ho has remained
here. We ditto cherish tho hope that the
reception which he, as an eminent nnd
intellectual personality, deserved and
found in Berlin will prove to him and
tho United States that tho incidents
prior to his coming wero based on a
misunderstanding iu which the German
people did not share but which caused
the impression that only millionaires
are acceptable at Berlin as representa
tives of a great state.
"That may be true of St. Petersburg,
but in Berlin, as a counterbalance to
the materialistic conception often con
nected with the dollar, we must insist
that it is the intellectual pre-eminence
of a foreign representative which not
only gives him the right to such a po
sition, but guarantees an interchange
between the two powers much more
iipeful than can be had by the spread
ing of tin most lavib banquets."

It was decided after somo discussion
that on January fi. HMO, the regular

SURVEY OF
PIPE LINE
Roberts Decides on
Route
-Reservoir Will be Over
1500 Feet Above the
City.
.As anon as Engineer W. J. Roberts
is able to get ou, tho profile of the
pipeline to Little Rutin creek he will
get out tho right of way -maps and have
tho water committee of tho city council
take up the matter of necuriug rights
of way for the line immediately. He
has completed the field work of the sur
vey and now all that he has to go is to
work out his figures.
The contract for the excavation of
the reservoir will probably bo under
taken at once, an this season of the
year is in no way a drawback to the
accomplishment of this work. The res
ervoir is iu sandstone entirely with tho
exception of probably .a foot of surface
soil, so there will be no hard rock to
excavate.
The route of the lino ban been de
termined by Mr. Roberts as follows:
Si art i ng some 500 or (100 feet above
the Hanley ford on railroad land the
line will crous the Hanley plm'c, then
the linger ranch and across the lower
Hanley ranch. It will then cross to
the south side of Butte creek nt the
dividing of tho roads, where one goes
across the prairie before reaching the
Hanley and Slinger ranches and the
other follows the creek. The lino after
crossing the creek follows along the
south side of the Fish take'dltch ncross
the McDonald pine?, Charley place, and
makes the turn towards this city on
the E. H. Tucker place. Here a tuunel
may be put in which will reduce the
Irng'.h of the line if tho cost is found
to he no greater than the distance need
ed to round the point of the hill.
Prom the Tucker place the line comes
almost directly towards Medford, cross
ing tho Carlton, Walsh Von dor Bel
lea, Astbury, Owens," Stinson, the
"401," Hansen, Wilkenson places, then
following the county road for n mile
below the Bates place, nnd from there
ncross tho Stewart, Pierce and McAn
drews places. Upon the latter .the res
ervoir is to he placed,
The reservoir will have nn elevntion
of IflSfl feet above the service iu the
city, which will insure a splendid pres
sure. Tho distance to tho reservoir
from Roosevelt avenue, whero connec
tion is made with the distributing sys
tem is 0218 feet.
The total distanco of the line is ap
proximately 115,5(12 feet, although this
mnv vnrv to a smdl extent.

VENEZUELA
f
I Takes Up Gauntlet Hurled
at Her Feet In Defiance
and Will Fight-Castro
Is In Germany.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17. Venezuela
has formally declared war against Hol
land. The state department was so advised
this morning by Pnxtou Hibben, the
secretary of the American legation nt
Bogota, Colombia.
The message says that the Colombian
minister of foreign affairs received a
following message from Curacao:
"In view of the blockade establish
ed and the capture by the blockading
vessels of Venezuelan vessels, the heads
of government for Venezuehi after as
suming extraordinary powers for the
defense of the country, have declared
n state of war."
Tho fact that President Castro of
Venezuela is in Germany in order to
under go an operation for cancer makes
the matter all tho more serious.
I 3000 JOBS AT DISPOSAL
I OF REPRESENTATIVES
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17. The re
publicans in tho house today put them
selves on record ns in favor of the
KpoilH system and against auy enlarge
ment of the scope of the census bureau
which woud show the extent of Amer
ican exportation of protected products.
The bill providing for the taking of
the );tth census wits passed almost as
it came frfom the committee. AH
amend men ts proposed to it were de
feated by close votes except those minor
changes which the committee itself pro
posed. The 3000 additional clerks to be em
ployed in the work will be appointed on
recommendations of members of con
gress and not from the civil service
list.
Representative Hitchcock of Nebras
ka proposed an amendment requiring
the census director to get accurate data
on the extent of American exportation.
He said it was common knowledge that
American manufacturers, protected by
the tariff, sell goods abroad cheaper
than at home. Republicans, headed by
Chairman Crum packer, lined up to a
man against the amendment, and it was
lost.

CUSICK RETURNS FROM
HIS TRIP TO PORTLAND
Albert L. Cusick, the local real es
tate dealer who was convicted of per
jury iu the United States district court
iu Portland on Tuesday, returned home
Wednesday, and is now awaiting to see
what the effect of the recent opinion
of the United Stales supreme court upon
his case will be,
in regard to the Cusick trlul the
Oregoniau says:
United States Attorney John Me
Court does not believe the decision of
the United States supremo court, hand
ed down by Justice White, holding that
indictments could not, bi found on sec
tion 4740 In land mntters because the
section was intended to cover viola
tions of the pension laws, will be the
means of giving freedom to James II.
Parker, tho Baker City banker, and
Albert Fj. Cusick, the Medford real
estate dealer both of whom wero in
diet i-d and convicted under section
1740. The decision of the United States
supreme court came right at the heels
of the conviction of Cusick, whose trinl
had been going on beforo Judge Wol
verton for n week.
The very point decided by Justice
White in the Colorado ease was raised
by Attorney James Cole during his ar
gument on the demurrer he filed iu be
half of Cusick. Attorney Colo held that
section 4710, prescribing a penalty for
perjury, vas intended only for pension
cases and could not apply to land mnt
ters. Judge Wolvertoii, nfter hearing
arguments on both sides, handed down
a lengthy opinion, overruling tho de
murrer nnd holding that an indictment
for perjury under section 4740 was not
necessarily confined to perjury in pen
sion cases, but could be applied to per
jury when it came to making false af
fidavits or swearing falsely to nun
mineral affidavits, in regard to land
mutters.
United States Attorney McCourt is
getting ready to fight for the passing
"f judgment upon Parker and Cusick.
ID wrote yesterday for a copy of Jus
tice White's decision nnd mailed to the
attorney general a copy of the decision
handed down by Judge Wolverton.
There were two other eases pending,
the defendants having been indicted
under the section. Both of these enses
had already been dismissed upon the
reijiient of Attorney McCourt. Whether
Justice White's decision will be as far
reaching ns it now appears remnins to
be seen. A great number of indict
ments have been brought under this
section.
