JACK MONROE OFFERS
$100,000 FOR FIGHT
XEW YOP.K, Aug. 28. "Prosper
ous Jack" Monroe, the formemr
heavyweight pugilist, and now mayor
of Elk Lake, Canada, yesterday wired
an offer of $100,000 for tho Jeffries
J-ihnson fight to take plnco in Can
ada. ono year hence.
Monroe says that he means bnsi
ness, and if the fighters will serious
ly consider his offer, will post, the
$100,000 immediately. "Prosperous
Jack" who now owns hundreds of
acres of valuable timber land in nn
nila, has fought Jeffries on two oc
casions. When tho alfalfa fanner was meet
ing nil comers for four rounds sev
eral years ago, Monroe caught Jef
fries unawares and slipped ono over
on the point of the champion's jaw,
knoi'kingjiim down. This angered the
'champion and when the two met some

BEAUTIFUL WORK BY
ST. MARY'S PUPILS
Needlework Executed by Students
Students Will Be on Exhibition
Soon at Montgonery's
. The needlework executed by the
students of St. Mary's academy dur
ing the past scholastic year having
to be exhibited in Portland during the
Golden Jubilee celebration of the
Sisterhood of tho Holy Names in that
city, the opportunity of viewing it nt
an earlier dote was denied the resi
dents of Medford.
Through the gracious condescen
sion of II. L. Montgomery, u part of
the work will occupy ono of tho beau
tiful display windows of his store on
Eoventh street, August 28, 29 and .10.
Thus all who are interested in the
pupils and their work will have a
splendid opportunity afforded them
of noting the grer.t success that has
crowned the efofrts of their first
year's labor.
j The work won the highest praise
! in the Portland exhibit, being ranked
j among the first of all the contribu
tions sent from mtlie different schools
I of the Sisters of the Holy Names in
Oregon and Washington. This dis
tinction was won not only for the
number nnd variety of articles dis
played, but also for their artistic
beauty, practical worth, and intrin
sic value.
It is also announced that with the
resuming of classes on September 0
the Sisters will open an art depart
ment in the academy, where a skilled
instructor and artist will preside.
Medford has long been desirous of
possessing such advantages as the
academy offers to provide, nad it is
only a matter of justice that those in
terested in this aid to a refined edu
cation should show their apprecia
tion by patronizing this progressive
institution of learning.

SURVEYORS
TOWARD
KLAMATH FALLS
I? Pacific & Eat?ri Hill Feeder,
Harriman flrai.:h or an
Independent
Line
ALEN SAYS ROAD
IS INDEPENDENT
So Long as the Road is Actually
Built People Do Not Care
as to Ownership
Is the Pacific & Eastern to be a
Hill feeder, a Harriman branch or
an independent line? President Al
len says tho latter. Negotiations for
rails from the Southerns Pacific in
dicate .Harirman connections, while
the inspection of the line by J. S.
Stevens, Hill's confidential mat:, the
appearance of Contractor Ra'ida'l,
Porter Brothers' right hand men, and
other developments render it possible
that the railroad will be a feeder for
Hill's Central Oregon line through ex-'
tension to Klnmath Falls.
So long as the railroad is aclmilly
built, people of this section do not .
care much who builds it, though the
;ndvontage to the community oJ hav
ing two transcontinental lines 'a ap
parent. Harriman long since refused
to build the rood, though the entrance
of Hill may have changed bis mind.
The advantages to Hill of control
ling the Pacific & Eastern are obvi
ous. It will tap a rich territory and
will enable him to secure n share of
shipments from tho world's grea
fruit belt. Extension will give him
an outlet to the Coast, as well as the
redwood lumber business, and a huge
mining tonnage.
Hill is headed for Klamath Falls
and from that city comes the news
that Hill surveyors are bended thot
way. A party is reported to have
left Bend Thursday under the per
sonal supervision of the' chief en
gineer of the Hill forces with instruc
tions to rush the work with all pos
sible speed. Secrecy was to be main
tained until the survey had beon run
past Odcll. but the secret leaked. The
survey is to ascertain whether a bet
ter route can be obtained throngh
the Odell country than has been al
ready surveyed from Bend, running
between East Lake and the Pauline
mountains. This would make the
railroad enter Klmnnth Falls from
the east instead of from the north.
The Hill survey follows the cast
fork of the Deschutes, passes west
of the Walker range nnd the Klnmatb
Falls Herald is authority for th
statement that crews of men will b
placed in the field to hold the stro
tegic points of entrance to the Kin
ninth country. The Herald also
states that tho Harriman forces havf
rushed forces into the field to cov
er the tracks of the Hill men
