CZAREWITCH ORDERED THE
BAND TO PLAY AT MIDNIGHT
ST. PKTKIisnri;;. Feb. 0. The
4 year-old cza re witch is developing m
quaint little character of his own, and
manyunnming stone: are being told of
his sayings and doings.
"Aloyshn" (his pel name) seems to
be nlrendy in training for an autocrat;
he issues commands and sees that thev
are obeyed. When aboard the imperial
yacht in the bay of Finland he awoke
in the middle of the night and issued
an impromptu verbal decree that the
ship's band should immediately (day to
him.
' ' You can 't ' ' prosted his nurse.
' ' have the band play now. The men
ore all ascleep, as you ought to be.
Besides, you would wake up the whole
yacht. "
"Hut 1 want it to play."
"Re a good boy and go to sleep."
' I won 't go to tdoep, and I mu-t
have the band."
He had his way. The bandsmen were
reused from their slep and ordered to
serenade the little prince until he went
to sleep.
Another anecdote: Saying his pravcrs
one night he ended by shouting Hur
rah for find! "
Shocked at his irreverence, the nurse
said: "You mustn't say that."
"Why not!" said the future czar.
"People say 'Hurrah' when papa gne
out, and Ood is mm h greater t dan

The automobile owners of the valley
are taking steps to improve the roads
of the county and the subscription list
that is being passed about is being gen

elub to put a grader on the roads as
soon as the wont her clears and smooth
them down for the spring. A machine
for smoothing the roads and smashing
Ihe clods is also to be used.
J. K. Knyart has offered a prize of

half mile of roadway in repair. This
offered to anyone who takes an in
Nrest in the roadway by their property.
The inovcemnt wan started by a num
ber of machine owners nnd it took no
time for the different machine owners
in Medford to fall in line and contrib
ute to the cause.
The roads certainly show much chance
for improvement, a-id with the large
number of machines in and around Med

better them.

"That 'Dixie' is treasonable 1 am

words, which were:
" 'There iM a song or tune which I

EXPECT WAR
IN CHINATOWN
Peace Pact Expires To
morrow -Was Entered
Into lor New Year's Day
SAX FRANCISCO, Cal.. Feb. 0.
The dragon of war is showing his teeth
in Chinatown today and there is a feel
ing of uiieni-iitess among San Francisco
celestials, owing to the fact that the
peace pact entered into by the warring
Suey Don ami On Yick tongs will ex
pire tomorrow. As a result of the feud
two On Yick members and one Suey
Don man have already been killed, iii
order that the Chinese Xew Year might
be celebrated in peace anad amity, the
rival tongs agreed to suspend further
murderous activities until February 10.
The temporary treaty of peace will be
come ineffective tomorrow and further
outbreaks of the murderous hatred that
exists in the ranks of the two tongs
are confidently anticipated.
The Suey Dons allege that the On
Yicks are cravens and cowards, nnd
are not playing the game according to
rule, because of the fact that the lat
ter tong has appealed to the courts of
the white devils to bring about the
punishment of the Suey Dons respoii
sible for the murder of the two On
Yick men, Lew Hong and Wong Lung.
The On Yicks have promised to assist
the prosecuting attorney in bringing
the assailants to justice, and have em
ployed a prominent local attorney to
fissist the prosecution. This action has
aroused the Suey Dons to impotent
wrat li, not unmixed with fear, and a
permanent peace pact mav vet be
agreed upon which will put an end to
the warfare of the tongs and slop (he
prosecution of the alleged murderers.
Meanwhile, the Suey Dons are calling
down upon the heads of the On Yicks
all the malediction in the Chincscc
vocabulary of cuss words, declaring that -their
action in appealing to (he Cali
fornia courts will put an end to the an
cient nnd honorable profession of as
sassination, so long the pastime of the
rival longs.
BANDIT BEZEMER WILL
SAY HE WAS INSANE
MOUNT YFHXOX, Wash., Feb. 0.
The work of empaneling n jury to try
Leo Bezemer, charged with having kid
naped K. (!. Kuglish, a millionaire tim
ber land owner of Skagit county, was
begun this morning. Bezemer is a shin
gle weaver, better known as "Whistling
Ifufus.'' The sensational case is still
fresh in the memory of residents of
Skagit, Whatcom and King counties.
Kuglish was held up at the point of n
revolver ill a dense woods near Mount
Vernon last November by unidentified
men. The wealthy lumberman was
bound to a tree with i chain and forced
to write a note to bis wife, asking that
she give the gearcr of Ihe message a
$5000 ransom. While the highwayman
was on his way to English's home to
collect the money the prisoner managed
to loosen his bonds ami gave the alarm.
Suspicion pointed to Itczerner. who had
been working in a idiinglo mill at Mount
Vernon, and he disappeared. Posses were
organized and for davs he was tracked
through dense forests from Skagit to
King county, where he was captured
while sleeping in a lonely cabin. Be
zemer's plea will be insanity.

ODE TO COMING
OREGON SENATE KILLS
USE OF TIMBER
Sales
in Year Increase
236 Per Cent -Amount
Cut Has Doubled
The actual use of the varied reHourern
f the gover cut's lliS.OOO.OOU acres
f national forest land is on the in
crease, according to the report of the
work for tint fiscal year 11WS. The re
port ttays that from an administrative
standpoint the most striking fact of the
ir was the remarkable increase which
k place in the volume of business
t lansacted.
Phis growth of business done by the
Fnited States forest service last year
over the previous year is partly brought
out in the following tdntement showing
percentages nt increase in the number
of timber sales, -'Mi per cent; iit the
amount of timber cut under sales, 102
per cent; in the number of free timber
permits, 7li per cent; in the number
-f grazing permits, II per cent, anil tu
the number of special-use permits, (17
per cent. That the additions tu exist
ing national forests and new creations
caused this iucease only to a small ex
tent is shown by the fact that Ihe area
increased is only 11 per cent. In speak
ing of this feature of the work of the
forest service in his annual report, the
secretary of agriculture says in part:
Growth in Business.
"The growth in the volume of busi
ness arising from use of the forests
has created a very serious administra
tive problem. Last year 7S per cent of
the time of (he administrative and pro
tective force was taken up by the de
mauds of national forest business. The
average forest area to each officer
supposedly available for pat rol duty
was about 120,000 acres; but with more
than t hree-fourt lis of the time of these
ollicers occupied with timber-sale, urn 7. ,
ing and other business, the force actual
ly available for patrol was equivalent
to about one man to each r00,oi)0 acres.
That under these circumstances the fire i
looses in a year of exceptional danger
were kept down to a very smalt figure
in comparison with the value id' the j
timber exposed and the damage from 1
forest fires elsewhere in a matter of 1
congratulation.
"The risk incurred, however, is out
of all proportion to the added cost
which more adequate protection would (
involve. I am convinced that the pro- j
vision made for the care and use of
the national forests hat become inade
quate to their needs, and I have there
fore submitted estimates for the fiscal
year ll'lo, which ask for a substan
tial increase in the appropriation. YYitli
the further growth in business which Is
certain to take place during the present
year, even less protection can be given
lhan has been given in the past. In
deed, the point has now nearly been
reached at which it is not even a choice
between providing f'T Ihe needs of
those who would use the forests and
protecting the forests themselves. "
