Mixed Congregation on Boat Ask Him to Preach; Once Is Enough. It is impossible in the space available to give more than a synopsis of the address Sunday evening by Ralph Spearow upon his trip to Japan, the second of the scries upon this subject, The sidelights and accounts of humorous incidents which interspersed the talk must be omitted. In brief the talk was as follows: My trip to nt Paris when I, together with Scholz and Norton, promised the. Japanese representatives at the Olympics that we would accept their invitation to give athletic demonstrations in the lund of the Nippon. They wanted us to go to Japan from Paris by way of the Suez canal and the Indian ocean. This would have been a wonderful trip but I did not see how it would be possible for me to be away from tho work here for so long a time and so I was allowed to come home first and then leave here in time to meet the other men at Kobe. I left Victoria on September 11 on the steamship Empress of Aus tralia for Yokahama. It was a fairly smooth trip with the excep tion of a few days when the bow of the boat was under the water about as much as it was on top. I found myself surrounded by mis sionaries of all brands. Some were going to teach medicine in the Canton Christian college in China. Others were planning on «pending years in the far interior. They were actuated in their motives by every manner (Concluded on pago i When C. A. Bartell left a few days ago for a hunt at Siltcoos lake he took with him equipment of various kinds—enough to make cer tain that he would suffer no un necessary discomfort—and there were enough shells to get every duck that might unwittingly seek to rest for a few moments on the lake'. Everything and evory emer gency were provided for. It seemed that nothing could have been for gotten. But the first thing “Bart” did after arriving at the lake was to send an 8. O. 8. message to send his shotgun by express. He had re membered everything except fais gun. Of course Bart claims that he can get more ducks without a gun than some could with a whole stand of artillery. Other members of tho party were A. W. Helliwell, N. J. Nelson Jr., Roy Short and G. M. Scott. They returned yesterday. Cy Bingham Recalls Old Near-Tragedy Recollections of a near-tragedy of nearly a quarter of a century ago, in which several prominent men of this section of that time were concerned, is brought to mind by the receipt from Cy Bingham, of Canyon City, of a copy of The Leader of February, 1902. The paper was sent to Bingham 'x old friend, E. C. Lockwood. Mr. Bingham became lost while a member of a party who were hunting out from Warehouse. The other members were Bird Farrier, a prominent character in the early development of the Bohemia min ing district, and A. B. Wood, also prominent in mining affairs of years ago and for years manager of the Oregon & Southeastern rail way, which afterwards became the Oregon Pacific & Eastern. He is now a resident of San Diego. Bingham is Farrier is dead, sheriff of Grant county, having been reelected in November for a third term. Ike Bingham prominent here in timber and mining a quarter of a century ago. wax a brother. Mr. Bingham had wandered for three days before being founil by one of the searching parties sent for him. Across the top of the paper, Bingham hail written, ‘‘Jack How ard’s best by Ohl Man Supples.” He was well acquainted with these two who edited early Cottage Grove newspapers. It is interesting to note that in the story concerning Bingham tho paper said that he was ‘‘alright.” EVen the early newspaper men made errors in spelling. The ads in this early issue of Tho Leader are interesting. Jen kins & Lawson were in the paint business; Blew & Jones conducted The Resort; Glass Brothers oper ated the CottAg«- Grove planing mill; Piper & VnnDenburg were in the furniture business; the Pacific Timber company was conducting a general merchandise business; Knowles 4 Gettys were conducting a miners’ supplw house in the thriving Bohemia comp and H. C. Madsen was selling diamonds. DIPHTHERIA IS EASILY CONTROLLED Medical Profession Recom mends Toxin-Anti-Toxin as Preventive. I The dreaded diphtheria which has invaded a number of homes in this community is easily preventable it precautions are taken in time, ac cording to high medical authorities. There Las been developed a toxin- anti-toxin preparation which mukes the patient immuno for at least several years and probably for life. The toxin-anti-toxin preparation, while similar in some respects to tho anti toxin which has been used for many years, is much different in action. Toxin-anti-toxin is a preventive and not a cure. It does not become effective, however, for several weeks after being admin- istered and should be used imme- diately upon the appearance of the malady in a community. Anti-toxin, on the other hand, becom s effective immediately and is given as a cure the moment a physician suspects the malady. Toxin-anit-toxin, according to high medical authorities, has no ulterior effect of any kind and can be taken without inconvenience of any kind, even by babes. The preparation has been admin istered to half a million school children in New York alone, re ducing the number of deaths to a half and the number of cases to throe-fifths tho former number, Control of diphtheria is as easy as control of smallpox, according to medical authority, by adminis tering the toxin-anti-toxin prepara tion in time. Foreign Auto Licenses Are No Good Three moro car owners who have been driving in Oregon on licenses obtained outside the state this year have been asked by Earl Hum phrey, state traffic officer, of Eu gene, to make application for Ore gon licenses. They are required to pay a quarter of the total fee for the license, although they will use the plates less than a month. One man was using a Wisconsin license, another a license obtained in Idaho and the third obtained his in Montana. All have been using their old licenses longer than the limit allowed by the motor law. Bankers to Talk to School Pupils Officers of the Cottage Grove banks will deliver several educa- tional lectures before the Cot- tage Grove hige school and in the schools at Lorane, Dorena an«l Walker during the next several months.

And rightfully so, for the University of Illinois star is with out a doubt the greatest player on the American gridiron since the days of Willie Heston and Walter Eckersall. Neither the east nor west has any other one lone star who can compare with this wonder pf the season. Grange won an all-American position last year also, but his playing this season was nothing short of phenomenal. Particularly no in the Illinois-Michigan game when he ran back the first kick off for a touchdown, after receiv ing it on his own five yard mark. In that same game, he registered four touch-downs in the first twelve minutes of play, each after a long, spectacular run through the entire Michigan team—a feat that perhaps may never be seen again. G r i d i r o n’s “Ace of Aces!” WHAT’S THE USE * Stranger Gets Good Check in Change for a Worth less Draft. Eugene, Oro., Dec. 3.—(Special.) —A smooth and fast working con fidence man, it developed today, had realized $2710 during a five «lays' visit in Eugene. W. E. Minor, local capitalist, who is erecting an eight story office building here, was the only victim. The man, who gave the name of James E. Wilson, apparently 65 years of ago, came to Eugene Thanksgiving night. He expressed great interest in the city anti its prospects and finmlv began nego tiations for a homo, stating that ho wanted to locate here and educate his two nephews. He then met Mr. Miner and started negotiations for ono of the latter’s dwellings in the university district. After reaching an agreement he presented a $3500 draft purporting to have boon drawn on tho First National bank of Fairfield, la., with which to make payment, Under the terms of tho deal he i was required to pay down $500, so i Mr. Miner gavo his personal check in the amount of $3000 for the balance. This cheek was cashed by Wilson and with it another draft on the Fair- field bank, From this account ho drew checks to the amount of $2111 in payment for merchandise at local stores, Ho then cashed a $2500 chock against Mr. Minor’s check and disappeared, The bank where ho deposited tho draft telegraphed to the Fairfield bank and learned that no such draft had ever been issued and that Wilson was not known there. Officials of the bank said todny they were powerless to withhold payment on oither of the checks for $210 or the $2500 check as the Miner check that backed them both was valid. It is now believed that Wilson was one of a trio who had planned to pull off a gigantic swindling gamo in Eugene, their plans being interrupted when ono of their num ber wnx recognized by a former acquaintance as A. L. Chance, who was sentenced from Malheur coun ty a few years ago for forging a large chock while manager of a lumber company at Ontario and af terwards |>aroled on account of ill health. The third member of the trio was a woman, it is believed. Gas at OU Well. Htrong showings of gas have been reported rocently at tho oil well operations at the summit of Mount David. Tho drill keeps pounding away steadily and President David Olson, of the Guaranty Oil com pany, has lost nono of his confi- donee that the bit will some day drop into a pit of oil.
