TOIK THROUGH TEXAS.
hriners to Be Given Complimentary
Trip.
Dallas, Texas. A complimentary
1,000-mile tour of Texas after the
meeting of the Imperial Council, An
cient Arabic Order Nobles of the
Mystic Shrine, for Imperial officers,
representatives and their ladies, has
been decided upon by the executive
committee of Hella Temple. The of
ficial route chosen includes Austin,
San Antonio, Houston and Galves
ton. De luxe special trains of Pull
man club cars, dining, observation
and 12-section drawing room Pull
man cars and baggage cars, suffi
cient to accommodate at least 1,000
people, will leave Dallas Friday, May
16. Saturday will be spent in San
Antonio, while Galveston will enter
tain the visitors Sunday, May 13.
Monday will be spent in Houston, the
party returning to Dallas Tuesday
morning, which will enable the visit
ors tc reach their respective starting
points within the limits of their
tickets. All expenses incident to the
trip will be paid by the executive
committee of Hella Temple.
The official route chosen is a com
plete circle trip of the state, through
the richest agricultural section of
the southwest, the famous black
"waxy" land of Texas. San Antonio
and Houston are two of the largest
cities in Texas, ur.d the former is
especially Interesting from a histori
cal standpoint. It is one of the old
est cities on the continent and dates
back to the early Spanish day, when
the southwest was under the do
minion of Spain. It is the home of
the Alamo, the cradle of Texas' lib
erty, where the famous band of he
roes led by Bowie and Crockett were
martyrs in the cause of freedom. In
this vicinity are some of the most
beautiful missions on the continent,
founded by early Franciscan fathers,
who came to the new world to labor
in the cause of Christianity and
peae and to teach the simple Indian
the arts of civilization. Despite the
fact that this is a live American city
it has lost little ci" the old Spanish
atmosphere, and its pluzas, its large
Spanish-speaking population and the
architecture of the old world that is
followed out in its buildings, furnish
tin environment unique and restful
in the every day strife cf twentieth
century life.
Galveston is tlu great seaport of
the southwest and has one of the
finest beaches along the coast. It
is an old southern type of city, with
modern hotels and the best of enter
tainment features. Houston, the last
stop en route to Dallas, is a busy
commercial metropolis, the center of
the great oil, rice and lumber indus
tries, with a wide-awake citizenship
and a big Shriner constituency. Aus
tin, the capital of the state, Is the
home of Ben Hur Temple, where
elaborate preparations are
made for the entertainment
being
of the
visitors.
Low round-trip rates will apply
from Dallas to every point in the
southwest, following the Imperial
Shrine meeting, for the convenience
of the visitors from the north and
east who desire to make a tour of
Texas and acquaint themselves with
the progress and ii.dustrial possibili
ties of the southwest. The rate will
be one and one-third fare for the
round trip. Attractively low rates
will apply to points in Mexico.

Report of E. T. Staples, president
of the District Fair Association, was
submitted, the figures showing a
neat sum left over to the credit of I
club. On motion, President Staples
was thanked for so successfully con
ducting the financial end of the fair.
More or less discission was had
over the normal school problem, sev
eral contending that now was an op
portune time for agitation looking
toward the re-establishment of thej
southern Oregon institution here,
and these arguments led to steps be
ing taken to briir the matter before
the present legislature. However,
Mr. Briggs, who returned from
Salem Tuesday noon, announced that
the project was already under way.
In the meantime the normal situa
tion will bo watched with interest,
and the club adonted measures look
ing towards further backing of the
movement from this section if
deemed necessary.
J. G. Miller of the local broom
factory addressed the club aiong the
lines of broom corn raising and the
manufactured article, dwelling par
ticularly on the merits of the indus
try, answering many questions re
garding the new enterprise which he
has installed and for the enlarge
ment of which he seeks and deserves
substantial aid. On motion, Mr. Mil
ler was thanked for his efforts in
establishing this new industry in our
midst.
On motion of Mr. Billingn, thanks
wera extended our representatives in
the legislature for efforts in behalf
of the Southern Oregon Normrl, and

MRS. BAIN TELLS STORY.
Persuaded Husband to Accept Bribe
ns Juror.
Los Angeles, Feb. 4. The strain
of telling under oath of her hus
band's dishonor proved too much fori
Mrs. Dora Bain, and the aged woman
fainted on the witness stand today
during the progress of the trial of
Clarence S. Darrow on a charge of
bribing Robert F. Bain, a jurpr in
the McNamara case.
Halting and brokenly Mrs. Bain
told of what she believed her hus
band's shame. Many times she was
unable to proceed, but finally, re
vived under the lindly promptings
of the attorneys, idle gripped herself
and the story of the alleged bribery
poured out, interspersed by occasion
al quick sobs or gasps for breath.
"He called Franklin a bad name
when I told him that Franklin
wanted me to coax him to take a
bribe," Mrs. Bain faltered, '''and it
was only after I had pointed out to
him his age and our need of funds,
and put my arms around him and
asked him to take the money for my
sake, that he consented."
She told how she coaxed her hus
band to take the money, pointing out
their advancing years and trying to
make him believe that the crime
would not be a heinous one.
"He said he didn't want knowl
edge of that money," Mrs. Bain qua
vered when she was able to proceed.
"I told him the McNamaras were in
nocent anyway, but he said I could
not know anything about it."
"Then I tried to put my arms
around him. but he shoved me away
and said, 'None o" that!' Then 1
went to him and said, 'Bob, take the
money for my saktj.' "
How Odd!
"Did you have e nice walk "with
Mr. Smith, Lizzie?"
"Why, mother, who's been telling
you I met Mr. Smith?"
"Nobody! But I notice you bring
home his walking stick instead of
my best umbrella." New York

A HINDU 1D0LT
Its Strange History Caused Mme. Cr
not to Order It Destroyed.
When Mine. Carnot. widow of SadJ
Carnot, died aud ber will was read a
clause in it caused considerable com
ment. This was to the effect that a
certain small Hindu idol carved from
a bard stone which would be fouud
among her property must be taken out
aud crushed until completely destroyed.
Many marveled at this apparently sin
gular request, for the Idol seemed a
harmless, ugly little thing, but ber in
structions were carried out to the let
ter. The idol had besn presented to Sndi
Carnot years before be had ever
thought of the presidency of France by
a friend who bad brought it from In
dia. Later he learned that there was
a legend attached to It which asserted
that whosoever would retain it in bis
possession would rise to the fullest
height of power in bis chosen profes
sion, but die of a stab wound when at
the zenith of bis career.
M. Carnot traced the history of the
idol and found that for f00 years the
rulers who had possessed it bad all
died either in battle or by assassination
from stab wounds. Yet be Inugbed at
the story, culled the facts adduced by
bis search a mere chain of coincidences
and retained the idol. He died by a
dagger In the hands of an assassin;
hence Mme. Ca mot's strange request
LURE OF THE MISTS.
Curious Experience In the Clouds In
an Aeroplane.
It was at Manchester. Aeroplanes
were sweeping the skies In the circuit
of Britain race. Vedrines had landed,
aud impatient at the rules that made
him wait ten minutes before taking up
the race, went about Jabbering in
French. One of the otBcials asked him
what kind of n trip he hud bad. Ved
rine's .answer was to bold up Ms hands
expressively.
He was quiet for many seconds, theD

"I was blanketed in clouds so that 1
could not see ten meters before me.
Below me was nothing but rolling mist
that gradually took on all fanciful
shapes and colors. I caught myself
wanting to descend, to drop suddenly
Into it and see what it was like. To
escape this feeling I flew higher and
higher, until, venturing to look down
again, I saw wonderful Ilgbts and
shadows that never before had been re
vealed to me from ttie sky. I saw a
dreamy city, a wonderful mirage, aud
I believe I would have forgotten every
thing but those exquisite colorings, re
leased my levers, and" (De laughed.i

Cheapest Hams Ever Sold.
Sometimes an error creeps iuto the
published announcement of a big store,
due to the negllgeuce of the proofreader
or to the compositor In the printing of
fice of the paper. It is rarely funny in
its results, although It may make hu
morous rending when first issued. Oue
day n department store in New York
advertised "Sugar-Cured Hams at 4c a
lb." Rather cbenp, you my'! Well, 130
odd persons thought so too, for that
was the uumber that asked for the bum
at this ridiculously low price the morn
ing the ad. apieared. it transpired
that the printed proof O Iv.'d by the
grocery buyer and sent down to the
newspaper office for insertion in the
day's Issue read "14e a lb." The first
numeral bnd simply dropped out of
sight; 125 sales were made at a loss of
10 cents per pound. Woman's Home

Poetry and the Child. "
Read poetry to the child. Rend easy,
simple verse, read nonsense verse,
read real poems, read sometimes such
poems as "Thanatopsls" and bits of
"Paradise Lost." Of course the child
will not understand the thought, but
he will enjoy the sound, and he will
unconsciously learn the words. Poetry
was never meant to be read to oneself,
but always to be rend aloud or recited.
It Is harder than proe. The order of
the words Is often like our everyday
speech, and the words themselves are
frequently different. Here especially
children need help. If thoy find It
they lenru to love poetry, and there
are few things that so sweeten life ns
a genuine love for oetry for Its beau
ties and for the helpful lines that come
to one's mind in hard places. Home

A Good Stove Lining.
A good stove lining, one that will
last two years or more, can be made
from blue clay. Brick clay or one that
does not contain much sand, is good
also. Clay found In salt water marshes
Is one of the best for stove linings.
The clay must be reduced to a paste
about like putty. The bed for lining
should be brushed clean and moistened
before the clay is applied. Put on with

kins' bill to wipe out the saloons and
road houses outside of incorporated
cities and towns went to victory
over an easy course in the senate
today.
The bill as it passed the senate
makes all the Oregon country dry,
except where the home rule amend
ment permit sit to be wet. It is the
mo3t sweeping blow ever struck at
the liquor dealers by an Oregon leg

traveler may drink in peace, even
while the train is passing through a

esmrreefioii

in four
"The country innocence of the prologue, the sodden degradation
of the prison scene, the birth of shame, the return of the first love,
the struggle against the advances of men who knew her past char
acter, and her moment of renunciation all these make up what is
known as a strong acting part; and we need not to be surprised to
find Miss Walsh with the emotional power that i so peculiarly her
own, playing the part so truthfully and so vividly as to create the
character of Katusha Maslova that is worthy of being ranked with
Sarah Bernhardt's Caiuille' and Eleanora Dime's 'Juliet.' " A
Critic.
Gre ledge, Cos Cob, Conn., Nov. 26, 1912.
The Masko Film Co.
Gentlemen: I wish to express to you my satisfaction with your
motion-picture production of my play, "The Reburrection." Any
doubt that I may have had aa to the possibility or picturing Tol
stoy's great story in pantomime vanished after the first scenes of
the play were photographed.
Tolstoy's great theme has been faithfully kept dominant in the
pictures and every ecene ha3 contributed to the development of the
story to its climax, and not a single' point that made this play a
great success in the theatre has been missed.
1 thank you for the great labor in preparing "Resurrection" and
the cfcie taken to have the scenery, costumes and properties correct
in every detail. Yours truly. BLANCHE WALSH.

Jacksonville Magnate Evidently Fears
Competition.
The Jacksonville-Medford railway
evidently has a half Nelson on the
Jacksonville village council, if the re
ports of the Medford Sun are cor
rect. That paper states that th
council has passed to its first read
ing en ordinance imposing a tax o
$20 per month on automobiles run
for hire. As the only autos running
into Jacksonville for hire are in com
petition with the Barnum line, and
as such a tax is purely prohibitive,
it looks very much as if there was a
lare-sized colored gentleman con
cealed somewhere in the neighbor
hood of the county seat fuel pile.
