DOWN THEIR RAINMAKER
MORO, Or., March 5. Tho Sliorninn
county court, now in session, set aside
1 1 000 for advert iseing t he resources
of Sherman county as the executive
committee may sco fit. The committee
was authorized to guarnnteo tho ex
perimental farm experts any money,
land or improvements desired.
Tho so-called expert rainmaker, who
has operated for two seasons in Sher
man county, was set down upon by the
league. His friends asked for $15,000 to
carry on this season's work and it was
the opinion that Sherman county had in
tho past received too much adverse ad
vertising as a dry farming county
through the rainmaking efforts. Some
contended also thnt no rain had been
produced by the experimenter. One
hundred thousand envelopes have been
orderod to bo circulated by the busi
ness men of tho county. A pamphlet
will be got out later.
HE GAZED IN AGONY
AS DEATH APPROACHED
CHICAGO, March 5. Held prisoner
and helpless, Charles Thompson gazed
in agony yesterday upon tho roar light
of a freight train which was backing
to grind him to death between the wheel
and tho rail.
Tho train moved slowly, but horror
made the man almost powerless to strug
glo in an effort to extricnto his loft
foot from the switch frog in which it
had caught. At last the train was upon
him. With a frantic effort his Not
was freed, but too late. He was crush
ed to death before he could crawl from
tho track.
NO STREET MEETINGS IN
SPOKANE HENCEFORTH
SPOKAXE, Wash., March 5. "Aft

will be strictly prohibited at nil points
inside the fire limits of Spokane," an
nounced Ren Rice, chief of police, to
day. This order includes even the Sal
vation Army and Industrial Workers of
the World. The rule is made because
of riotous parade and attacks upon em
ployment offices which have resulted
from labor troubles.

WASHINGTON. March ". H. II.
Harriman 's propose 1 railroad up the
Deschutes river will not get under way
immediately. Secretary Garfield was
not able, as he assured the Oregon con
gressmen, to approve the map of loca
tion, but let the matter go over to his
successor.
It has been decided to withhold action
on this map until Engineer Schleet of
the reclamation service, recently de
tailed to the Klauialh project, eau in
vestigate conditions on the Deschutes
river and determine the level it t which
a railroad can be built so that it will
not interfere with power development
along the Deschutes, either by the gov
ernment or private interests. Mr.
Schleet is now on the wav to the Des-
hutcn.
The department has hopes that tlm
railroad will seek some other route into
the interior and abandon its purpose
of building up the les;chutes, for it is
said that there are more attractive pow
er sites on this river than an v where
Ise, on the Pacific coast, and Mr. Gar
field inclines to the opinion that power
levelopment is more desirable and in
the end more beneficial to the state
than running a railroad through this
particular canyon if another route can
be found. It will he several weeks
before the engineer's report can be
submitted.

WATCH MEDFORD GO
First Basing our opinion on the growth of tha
city during the past two years, we believe Med ford
will have a population of !)000 or 10,000 one year
from now. Is there anything to stop it?
Sccoiul The development of vast coal fields, close
(o Aledford, which is absolutely assured, means a big
payroll and a great increase in city business. Inves
tigation will convince the most; skeptical that this
will occur.
Third The next ninety days will show aotire
work on road to one; of tbe greatest timber belts in
(lie United States. This means lumber for box fac
iories and all kinds of manufacturing, employing
hundreds of men within the city. None can dispute
this.
Fourth Immense tourist; travel to Crater Lake;
new gravity water system; hard surface pavement;
electric railroads, both city and country; active work
copper mines of the Blue hedge district; new school,
business blocks, residences, etc., etc.
I have the only Main street business lots for sale
at, last year's valuation. These cannot be epiald
for income or investment. Quick action will secure
the best buy in the city. For particulars e owner.
