TO CHANGE RESTING
PLACE OF R. D. HUME
Body Will Be Removed From Queer
, Burial Spot Chosen by Sal
mon King.
Exhumation of the body of R. D.
Hume from its strange resting place
ou the banks of the lower Rogue, is
promised by his widow, after the af
fairs of the Hume estate in Curry
comity are settled up. If all the Hume
holdings are sold to outside people
and the grave of the departed Cur
ry magnate is emptied, the 30 years'
domination of the salmon king will
Jjecome only a memory there.
Wedderburn and Gold Beach resi
dents point out the grave of Hume as
their principal curiosity. The freak
of fancy that led the veteran Scotch
man to order his interment there was
no doubt inspired by his having built
up his fortune at this spot, during
almost a third of a century of hard
work and isolation, throughout which
lie held most of Curry county thor
oughly in control.
A block east of the big Hume store
in Wedderburn 15 or 20 yards from
the solitary street and on a rocky
promontory overlooking the river,
Hume chose his burial spot. This was
months before his last illness, but
perhaps not till after he had warn
ing of its coming. He directed that
a hole eight feet deep should be blast
ed and hewn from the rock; that a
casket hermetically scaled should
convey his body to the bottom; that
a few inches above a cement arch
should be laid, forming an under
ground vault, and that earth should
then be filled on in the ordinary way.
nis wishes were carried out in toto.
No shaft marks the place; it is not
even fenced ground.
Mrs. Hume will take the body
probably to San Francisco.
LARGE VINEYARD TO BE
PLANTED IN NORTHWEST
AMUSEMENTS
SPOKANE, Wash., Sept. 17. The
Inland Empire Vineyard company of
this city, is in the field to establish
the most extensive vineyards and
wineries in the country. The vine
yards will be near Lewiston, Idaho,
"and Clnrkston, Wash. It is said that
many parts of the Inland Empire are
better adapted to grape culture than
some of the famous European dis
tricts, owing to the absence of the
dreaded prylloxera, as tliey cannot
exist in volcanic ash. About 2000
acres will be planted duing the com
ing year.
John Wutkins of Eagle Point re
turned home from a short stay in
Jacksonville, where he attended the
encampment.
The Medford.
If all that has been said of "A
Knight for a Day" be true, patrons
of the Medford theater are assured
of a treat. Tb.is musical play, in
terpreted by a competent cast, head
ed by Edward Hume, Grace DeMar
and some 60 others, ran, for a solid
year in Chicago, and five months at
Wallack's theater, New York, he
present tour of the organization has
comprehended visits to Seattle, San
Francisco, Los Angeles and other cit
ies of the Pacific Coast, where it was
pronounced the best musical offering
of recent years. So much has been
said in praise of the "American Beau
ty Chorus" of this company that lo
cal admirers of feminine loveliness
are likely to be especially interested.
"A Knight for a , Day" comes to
The Medford theater September 23
for one performance.

A. F. Wctther, who is in charge of
the manual training 'department of
the high school, is enthusiastic about
his work and declares that before the
year is over he expects to have many
of the students making useful things.
The grades entered in the work are
those from the fifth to the ninth, in
clusive, nnd they are all learning the
first principles, which consist in ex
ercises in planing, measuring, in use
of trisquure and gauge.
One period each week is allowed,
for the work, which is being conduct
ed in a well equipped and well ven
tilated room in the basement. Over
100 students compose the class, and
many others would like to join.
Next week mechanical drawing will
be added. It is sure to prove an in
valuable addition.
