did not return and his father went
out to search for him, finding him as

kne whim as a young man of exem

OREGON NEWS IN BRIEF
Items of Interest Regarding Matters
. in Various Parts of the
State.
Portland, June 24. That would
be settlers coming to Oregon have,
in many instances, been victimized
by unscrupulous land speculators and
that the state as a whole has been
injured by their operations, is a
statement made at the annual con
vention of Oregon bankers recently
held at Corvallis, and the attending
delegates expressed a determination
to co-operate with the commercial
bodies throughout the state in an ef
fort to put greedy real estate men
out of business. The plan does not
contemplate the entire elimination
of land-selling agencies, but does pro
pose to .annihilate the sharks who
have been speculating in good Ore
gon soil, taking it out of production
and holding it for an unreasonable
increase in price. It was decided to
form an appraisement committee in
each community to pass on the prices
of lands, the committee to consist of
two members of the local commercial
body and one banker, and intending
purchasers will be advised to pur
chase no real estate from any dealer
until the value of same has been
passed upon by the appraisers and
the price asked decided to be a reas
onable one. It was stated as a fact
that much of the agricultural land in
Oregon is held at too high a figure.
There is doubtless plenty of good
land which can be obtained at a fair
price, but the newcomer, usually un
familiar with local values and con
ditions, seldom hears of that land.
The committee will see that he gets
a square deal.
Oregon is likely to become the cen
ter of a great fishing industry with
in the near future if the investiga
tions of the government confirm the
report of extensive halibut banks off
the coast of Lincoln county. A large
number of launches are now being
fitted out at Newport, on Yaquina
bay, for the purpose of exploiting
these recently discovered banks, and
those which hafe already started op
erations are returning to port with
capacity loads Of splendid fish. The
extent of the banks is stated to be
sufficient to supply the Pacific north
west with fish for years to come. .

The far-famed Professor Mucken
fus came to grief in his attempted
aerial flight and when over Main
street dropped to the pavement with
a "dull sickening thud," straw intes
tines sticking out of his nose and
ears. The stunt caused considerable
curiosity and much mirth.
The drill hall of the new armory
was closed up Saturday night and
none of the profane were permitted
to enter its sacred precincts Satur
day, while a bevy of Shriners worked
like bees all day getting it ready for
the qeremonial sessions. In the
smaller rooms Clarence E. Land and
Hum Pracht were busily engaged
most of the day preparing to feed
the famishing travelers during' the
evening. Judging from the remarks
of Shrinersmpon leaving thj hall it
was a sight to attract especial atten
tion even from those accustomed to
the splendors of the orient.
As to what transpired behind the
guarded doors of the armory in the
dark and mystic hours of the night
Saturday night the profane sons of
the desert can only guess. However,
so far as heard from there has been
no work for the undertaker resulting
from the walk over hot . sands,
though some of the candidates wore
a Weary Willie expression Sunday.
The following is a list of those ini
tiated into the mysteries of Shrine- j
dom at the meeting:
Charles D. Burgan, Talent; F. Roy
Davis, Ashland; Dr. Julian P. John
son, Ashland; Robert Lee Collins,
Roseburg; James, Walter Porter,
Ashland; Christian C. Weisenburger,
Ashland; Martin W. Waggoner, Med
ford; John C. Mann, Medford; Frank
Hanson, Medford; O. F. Carson, Ash
land; Willard Veghte, Ashland; Hal
bert Deuel, Medford. Three mem
bers were also added to Hillah Tem
ple, Dr. E. H. Porter, Medford;
Charles E. Gates, Medford, and John
O. Isaacson, Central Point, by affilia
tion. Ladies Entertain Royally.
A Tidings representative dropped
into the Masonic Temple this morn
ing and remarked to "Alex" that it
looked as if there had been some
thing doing there also. He replied:
"The women were crazier than the
men. You ought to give their initia
tion a bigger writeup than that of
the Shriners; they initiated more."
This only confirmed the suspicions
arousel by the noise of gales of mer
riment which floated out through the
closed doors of the Masonic Temple
and permeated the Commercial Club
rooms where the Producers' Develop
ment League was holding its meet
ing. There were about 150 ladies pres
ent Saturday evening at the reception
given the ladies of visiting Shrin
ers. A large class was "initiated"
into their pseudo organization. Just
what the stunts were which were
pulled off is not being divulged to
mere man nor to the ladies outside
the favored circle, but the fame of
Buster Brown and Tige and of the
"Pajama Patrol" has leaked out.
These are said to have called forth
the merriment which became audi
ble outside the hall.
There was card playing during the
evening, and a banquet which the
ladtes declare made the Shriners'
feed look like a hoboes' lunch. Every
visiting lady declared that her hus
band would find it impossible to
leave her at home in the future
when he came to Ashland to attend
a ceremonial of Hillah Temple.
The Shipbuilder's Prophecy.
Victoria Times:' The astonishing
prediction of the British shipbuilder
wno lorecasts tnat in a iew years
the leviathans of the deep will be

200,000 tons is not so shattering to
the imagination in this age of won
ders as it might have been in a past
era. The breathless story of scien
tific achievement during the last tew
years is replete with marvels that in
an earlier day would have been wild
er than the wildest dreams ever con
ceived.
It Is still possible to see treading,
as it were, the well-defined paths of
the Atlantic old vessels of 8,000
tons which in their day were the
largest afloat; while again on the
24th day of the present month a
titan registering 50,000 tons the
Imperator will make her maiden
Voyage across thcherring pond. It
Is ever so. The Brobdignagians of
today are the Liliputians of tomor
row, and there is no logical reason
why in a few years' time this same
Imperator which now dazzles the
senses with its size and magnificence
should not he . utterly eclipsed by
even more gigantic successors. While
to the greatest of humanity all
