Sailor, Who Libelled a Ship, Cannot
Do Found.
Ed Klrkhoff. a sailor who filed a libel
suit In the United States Circuit Court
against the American barkentlne Ama
zon. Andrew Aas, master, is reported to
have mysteriously disappeared. Two days
ago he left the hospital where he has
been confined, "and has not been seen
since. Arthur C Spencer, his attorney,
has made diligent Inquiries for him. but
without success. The Amazon will leave
for a voyage to China soon, and will not
be back In Portland again for several
months. For this reason as well as others.
Mr. Spencer would like to know before
the vessel leaves what has become of his
client.
Klrkhoff. after the Amazon arrived here
on the last trip, entered a criminal charge
against the captain and the mate. United
States Commissioner Bladen conducted
an examination of the case, but took no
action for the reason that the Federal
grand Jury is soon to meet and can hear
the case. The mate ran away ana w
not since been located. Klrkhoff. when he
left the hosoltaL had not entirely recov
ered, and had not been discharged "by the
marine physician. Attorney Spencer does
not think that the man has been foully
dealt with or anything of that sort, but
thinks he may be sick In some lodging
house, or may have shipped on some ves
sel, although he was not able to go to sea.
XEXT FHJEXD MAY SUE.
Case to Set Aside Deed Made far
R. Foster Is Properly Broucht.
The suit of J. W. Cook, as next friend
of John Ri Foster, against Dora Savage
was properly brought. Judge Fraxer so
held yesterday, and also held that B. Q. :
Whltehouse, appolnied by the County
Court as guardian of Foster, can be sub
stituted In the case In place ot Cook.
The purpose of the action Is to have
a deed to property valued' at 340.000 at the
corner of Seventh and Yamhill streets,
canceled, on the ground that Foster was
not mentally sound when ha made the
deed.
Judge Fraxer in deciding the question
m rourt of eaulty Is not without
power to appoint a next friend as guard-
Ian, and mat autnonues .ucu
person of unsound mind has not been so
adjudged, a suit may be brought by some
responsible party as his next friend. .
The point decided by the court In one
rexnact was not of much importance, be
cause If the case had been thrown out
nf court another suit would no doubt
have been brought by Whltehouse as
guardian.

MIGHTY ACHIEVEMENT
How the Hardy Explorers Performed Their Wonderful Task . of
Penetrating a New Country.
(Reprinted from The Oreronlaa. January 1. 1903.)
LEWIS AND CLARK EXPLORATION. It Is a aobject for gratitude sad
grateful remembrance.
The foresight of the great commoner. Thomas Jefferson, la planning for and
securing to the United States, to the American people sad to coming generations
that magnificent stretch of country reaching from the Atlantic to the Pacific
Ocean, through tbt Louisiana Purchase and by right ot dlaccrery ot to Columbia
and its tributaries by Captain Gray, was remarkable. Foreseeing the great ad
vantages to be derived by an early exploration of the unknown country lately
acquired, be took upon himself the responsibility of fitting out aa expedition ot
men fitted to the great labor sad sacrifices awaiting the hardy explorers that
should undertake this herculean task through an untried wilderness. Like all great
works and duties to be performed In the early days of the Republic and ordained
by Providence, Lewis and Clark came to his aid. willing to undertake the tasfc.
"With scant provisions and little money and less clothing and a few trinkets with
which to trade with and pacify ths.Indlan tribes, they started on their perilous
Journey, determined to succeed sad conquer. With the spirit ot determination
that where there was a will there was a way. they took their Uvea la their hands.
With hostile savages besetting their way, they traversed and explored this great
country ot ours with little to cover them at night and on much of their way living
on roots and dog fiesh. fish when they could get them and a promise of salt when
tbey reached the Pacific Ocean. Heroic devotion to their country Inspired then)
to complete the task set for them to do. They well performed the talk. A grate
ful people remember them, and especially the. pioneers, who know and have tasted
suffering on their long, wearisome march to the Oregon Country. They now await
with Impatience the memorial cayi the centennial ot the great event that marks
us as a grateful people.
Let us quicken our patriotic memories ot the past and do Justice to those who
ro earnestly devoted tbemselves and risked their lives for the future welfare ot
their countrymen. Who can now deny to the pioneers of the Northwest the priv
ilege of paying, while It is yet time, their last tribute of respect to these pioneer
explorers? When the multitude of visitors come to this centennial, to Oregon and
the Northwest, in 1D03. and sail upon our beautiful rivers snd traverse our lovely
valleys and behold the grandeur ct our mountain scenery, will they wonder that
we remember with grateful hearts the men who have marked the way to this beau
tlful land? When they behold the substantial products and the business with wh,lch
the land abounds, they will wonder anew why this land has been so long over
lookedwhere blssts of Winter do not freeze nor the torrid Summer heat prevail,
but gentle breexes snd mild, equable climate prevails throughout the year.
The revelations thst meet the eye of the newcomer will cause him to tarry In
our midst and seek a home In this unparalleled country of ours. Let Oregon snd
the Northwest do honor to the great .explorers la making this centennial annlver
eary a marked event la the history of our country. 1L W. CORBSTT.

Any one who Is incredulous as to the
practicability of Irrigation on a large scale

MONTAGUE, CALIFORNIA
JUNCTION FROM SOUTHERN PACIFIC TO YREKA.
DISTANT EIGHT MILES
MONTAGUE, CaL, March II. (Special
rtin-MTKindenee.) When the Southern Pa-
riflr rnllmart was hullt throurh this coun-
. i
try the most direct route was taken from
a point on the Klamath River to the head
waters ot the Sacramento River, and as
a consequence Yreka, the county seat ot
Siskiyou, was left on the mam line aDoui
five miles. The people of Yreka at once
proceeded to build a local railroad, which
is eight miles long, and at the Junction of
this road with the Southern Pacific the
town of Montague was laid out. located
on an open prairie extending for several
miles in every direction. There Is now a
town ot about four hundred here, a num
ber of business houses doing a thriving
trade with the country tributary. There
are three hotels, four general merchan
dise stores, two blacksmith shopa, a flour
ing mill, livery stable, barber shop, cigar
store, drug store, one church ami six sa
loons and electric light plant. -Wheut
and Cattle.
The lands surrounding Montague are
rolling prairie and hlU lands and over
3S0.O00 bushels ot wheat are raised and
many thousand head ot cattle. One farm
er. Mr. Rowe. raises 40,000 bushels annu
ally on his farm. The natural grasses of
the country feed the cattle, and this Is an
Important and very profitable Industry.
The present flouring mill Is propelled by
electricity which Is produced by water
power several miles distant. The large
power plant now building on Fall Creek
has contracted to furnish electric power
so cheaply that the local electrlo power
plant here will be abandoned. The quan
tity of .wheat raised adjacent to Mon
tague will warrant the erection of a much
larger flouring mill than the one here at
present, and with this cheap power no
doubt other manufactures will follow.
Shipments of Livestock.
Owing to the fact that the Southern Pa
dfic railroad company Is very much op
posed to giving out lists of shipments for
publication It Is difficult to obtain reliable
Information, but from the best sources at
hand I learn that last year there were
shipped from Montague ST00 head ot cat
tle. JCJ5 head of sheep. 755 head ot horses
and 431 head of hogs, a total ot 1C5T1 head
ot stock, or about Hi car loads. Very
many of these are raised in Klamath,
County. Oregon, and the total shipments
along the line cere from all sources will
reach So.030 head.

The spectacle of a venerable Senator

marriages among subalterns In the Army.
General Corbln has been accused on all
sides as objecting to marriage as an
institution when the military service is
to be affected by It. As a matter of fact
be has always expressed himself as be
lieving that marriage was a good thing
for an officer who realizes In advance
the responsibilities attaching to such a
change of state, and whose own salary
or private means. -or the dower of his In
tended bride, is sufficient to Justify It.
What he does object to, and what other
practical men in the higher military walks
object to as strongly as he, is the sort
of complication typified by the New Eng.

stances are pathetic. The young man.

they feel unable, on their small income, to
rent a dwelling. In this situation, and
realizing the distress which his wife would
suffer If any Interruption occurred In the
receipt of his monthly stipend, he is al

him to get along on his salary while to

yean the young men there have been kept
In almost monastic seclusion. Their
knowledge -of the ways ot womankind Is
as limited aa it could very well be, and In
the glamour of the closing hours, with
music and. dancing, moonlight walks and
brilliant costumes, many ot the cadets
become involved In love affairs without
the sIlKhtettf. thought ot the inevitable se
quel. A year or two .later the department
hears from part of these with some
sorry story. Perhaps the Young peo
ple have drifted apart, not having
known their own minds when they
plunged Into their hasty union: and
now. In order to hide their trouble's
from the world, the husband wishes to
change his station, to some place where
there are no "married, quarters." so that
the wife will have an outward excuse for
going back to her parental home. Or
money Is scarce, and they want to go to
some remote garrison, -where no expendi

on a trick which be knows would doom
him to dishonor If found out. but whose

old story of the bank teller, who borrows

an attempt may succeed; at other times
it rails, and then come scandal and dis

when he dons his epaulettes he bows the
same pair of shoulders to all the responsl
blllties which go with the uniform. It is
a very uncommon thing. Indeed, to hear
in the Navy of such a case as that which
furnishes a text for these lines. On the
other hand. It is not at all rare to see a
naval officer returning from a tour ot
distant duty to greet a child whom he
has never seen, though it has already
reached, witn do in tongue and feet, i
companionable age. At very remote in
tervals one hears of a naval subaltern
quarreling with his billet, or sending
great man to beg him off from a threat

the officer and his wife seem to face all
the possibilities frankly when they decide
to link their fortunes. And the start that
this ,glvea them In their new career, while
It is not Infallible as a preventive. Is one
of the best assurances of the husband's
ability to keep out of trouble.

same that extorts $250 from his less well-to-do
