State Poultry Show Leaves Deficit The State Poultry show came to a close on Wednesday of this week at Medford after a fairly successful week. The attendance for the entire period was far from what might have been doslred and this and other causes have brought about a deficit. The Southern Oregon Poultry asso ciation made expensive preparations for the state show; but it was indif ferently rewarded by the upstate counties, no entries being made from Portland, Salem or Astoria or from any of the counties east of the mount ains. Bad weather had much to do with this failure of large breeders to take advantage of this event to show their birds In Southern Oregon. To overcome the deficit entailed by poor attendance the valley associa tion will proceed at once to double its membership. The annual member ship card costs $1.00. Farmers gen erally, and business men and women in Medford, Ashland and other points in the valley have signified their wllliugnoss to take a card member ship and thus relieve the treasury. An additional 200 members will overcome the embarrassment. These, it is believed, will be easy to obtain. The standard coops were absolute ly necessary in a state show. They were needed also by the valley asso ciation. The lutter is now outfitted for any kind of a bird and pet stock show. Some of the coops have been purchased by members of the associa tion, 60 more than were needed hav ing been manufactured. The sale of these will help appreciably to pay the sum of the cost on the whole. Bill to Abolish Seines and Set Nets The absolute closing of Rogue river has apparently been given up. Rep rosentatlve Tlchonor Introduced a bill, however, which if passed and its provisions enforced will no doubt greatly relieve tho alarming decrease in fish In tho uppor Rogue. Tlche- nor's bill is as follows: "H. B. 98, by Tlchonor Relating to fishing in Rogue river; prohibiting the uso of seines in tho waters of Rogue river and Its tributaries; pro hibiting the use of set nets In tho waters of Rogue river below Bag nell's Ferry: repealing laws in con flict herewith and fixing penalties for violations." Screens and other devices for keep ing fish out of Irrigation ditches must be bo constructed as not to frighten the fish, according to house bill No. 102, Introduced by Sweeney of Jose phine, Wednesday morning. It Is left to the judgment of the fish and game commission to determine what will frighten the fish. A Romance at Lucerne By MARTHA V. MONROE A young man entered a hotel at Lu cerne, Switzerland, ami. tuklng a pen. was about to enter his mime when he noticed on tho page, Just nbovc where he was about to write, the name of Arietta Townsend Kentwood, U. S. A. Au hour later Miss Kentwood wus standing at the hotel entrance prepar ing to go out when she saw a trunk carried In bearing on un end tho name of Lawrence Lowrlo. Realizing that the owner of the Inmk had just urrlv- el, she sauntered Into the office and glanced at the register. T1h ink was scarcely dry in the name of Wendell H. Colgate, and that was the ouly name entered since the day before. Miss Kcut wood's view of Jrr. Law- reuce I.owries name on his trunk sjkiII ed a very pretty game. Both Mr. Lowrle and Miss Kentwood were very rich. It is a well known fact that rich persons marry rich per suns. Tins is natural. A fortune can only lie matched by fortune. Mr. Lowrle desired to marry a fortune, and Miss Kentwood had been suggested as suitable party for him. Miss Kent- wood had the name desire, and Mr. Lowrie had been suggested to her as a husband. Neither had seen the other It occurred to Mr. Lowrle to win Miss Kentwood' her.it as n poor man. and It occurred to Miss Kentwood to play Ihe sume game with Mr. Lowrle. Irfiwrie secured nn Introduction to Miss Kentwood at the casino as Wen dell Colgate, lie found her quite ready to improve the acquaintance. She did not know whether he knew of her for tune or not. But he pretended to be gnorant of It. and she was satisfied that he did not. He liellevcd thut the lady was smitten with him, and she believed that with him it was a case of love at first sight There Is no letter courting ground than Lucerne. The town is quaint. It has the Casino. Every evening a rou lette wheel is spinning with a crowd around It risking silver pieces from 1 franc upward, while in another part of the premises an orchestra Is dis coursing classical music. Refresh ments are served by girls In the at tractive Swiss costume. As to the environs of Lucerne, one may ascend the Kighi or one or tne other surrounding mountains or may make excursions on the beautiful Lake of the Four Cantons. Mr. Lowrle and Miss Kentwood made trips on the lake or ascended the mountauis. in. tne evening they lounged in the Casino. One night while looking at the gam blers Mr. Lowrle suggested that they each risk a franc just for fun. Mlfcs Kentwood demurred on the ground thut she was restricted In the amount sho possessed for her travels, and even the loss of a few francs would em barrass her. Mr. Lowrle said that he, too, needed to be economical, but he thought he would risk a franc. This decided Miss Kentwood to niuke a like Investment Mr. Lowrle placed, his franc on one number, Miss Kent wood on another. Both won. and both reinvested their winnings. Persons came and went, standing about the roulette table for a time, looking at the gambling. Now and again some young man or old 'woman would put down a franc or a 5 franc piece and when It was lost would pass on. Some, like a fly caught on sticking paper, would stay, usually losing all their spare cash. Mr. Lowrle won quite a sum. then lost it and quite a larger sum. Miss Kentwood soon evinced a disposition to plunge. When their evening's amusement was over Mr. Lowrle wan minus 1.200 francs and Miss Kentwood 700 francs. The next morning there was an ex change of notes between them; not only written notes, but banknotes. Mr. Lowrie wrote inclosing 7'K) francs and saying that he had drawn the bulunce of his letter of credit to restore a loss that would doubtless fall heavy on Miss Kentwood. Miss Kentwood wrote Inclosing l.'.'OO francs, begging Mr. Lowrie to accept it us ji loan. She would be obliged to cut short her trip, but this was more thun made up by tho pleasure of serving one whom she had come to appreciate highly. On receipt of this noble sacrifice Mr. Lowrie cocked his head much as one who had discovered a "mure's nest" Miss Kentwood received Mr. Lowrie's bene fact ion while her maid was pre paring her toilet for breakfast. She burst into a laugh. Mr. Lowrie was to call at 10 o'clock, and when the hour arrived she went to the hotel reception room, dressed to go out with him, but Instead of being in plain clothes she wore a $300 street costume. Advancing to her visitor, she handed him his do nation. He accepted it and returned hers. "Mr. Lowrie," she said, for the first time addressing him by his real uume, 'we have spoiled a theme for a novel." "Or a picture play." "Romance and riches are lucompati ble." "JUHt so." "If you care to Join out fortunes 1 will refer you to my uncle In New York, who Is my business manager." "I will call upon him on my return to America." "lift me see. We were to take a walk together this morning." "Being too poor to pay for ride." Both laughed. 1 think I will charter a steamboat and we will make the tour of the lake." "Do so. My maid will serve for a chaperon." Belleview Notes (By the Language Classes of Belle view School.) Mrs. Chas. Swartzfager was taken to Granite City hospital Thursday in a very weakened condition.

FSEE-CM IB Homestead Land In Oregon While attending Farmers' Week at Corvallis I talked with a homesteader from eastern Oregon who was very enthusiastic uliout the possibilities of homesteutling in that region, which Ilea botwettn Pendleton and Prineville. This party had been improving a claim for two yeurs and wus growing good crops of corn, hay and potatoes on pint of the land. I also had a long talk with the agricultural agent of that comity, who is thoroughly familiar with conditions there. He said the best government land was located near tho forest reserve, and that it would likely bo all filed upon shortly after March 1, when the enlarged homestead act goes into effect, making is possi ble to take 0 10 acres, instead of 320, in thut region. Tho chief draw. Buck to this land is its steepness, but there is more or less of it that cun bo cultivated. This is not the sandy, desert lund of central Ore gon, but good, Mack soil. The (listuncc from the railroad is about 60 miles. Stage every other day. The homesteader above mentioned raised lust year 50 hogs and BOO turkeys, but is planning to go into the cattle husiness. A section of thin land will support 04 cows, which will raise 40 calves, worth $1,000 when a year old. The state senator from this district writes me that there are probably SO to JOO acres of tillable lund on each section and that similar land sells at $4 to $3 per acre. Others with whom I talked gave a similar opinion as to the value of the land. Taking the lowest figure, a sec tion would be worth $2,500. Where else can you earn that much in three years? Only seven months' residence per year is required. Nearby stockmen hire all the help they can get at good wages, giving the homesteader a chance to make expenses and something for im provements. If there are a sufficient number here who are inter estcd in this lund I will make a trip over there soon and carefully examine a number of claims. Let me hear from you at once If you want to get in on this. 0. H. Barnhill, Thomas Says Road Bill Is Important House bill No. 21, introduced by Representative Boan of Eugene, is an exceedingly Important measure to the people of Jackson and Klamath coun ties, as well as of southern Oregon, said C. M. Thomas, representative from Jackson county. This bill in substance is an accept ance of the governmental act known as the Shackelton bill, which pro vides that the government will ap propriate an equal amount with the state for the purpose of building public highways, known as rural post, roads, and for othor purposes. Under this plan binds are issued by the state to raise sufficient money to meet the requirements of the federal i act and is to be expended for the survey, construction and maintenance of roads and trails within or only partly within the national forests, when necessary for the use and de velopment of resources upon which communities within and adjacent to the national forests are dependent. Through this plan Crater Lake, one of the ereat scenic attractions of the world, can be developed by the build ing of a road with funds furnished equally by the state and government, from Medford to Crater Lake and from Klamath Falls to Crater Lake. The government has already spent between $700,000 and $800,000 in the development of Crater Lake and , is at tho present time building and constructing at great expense a scenic I highway around the rim of Crater, Lake, which when completed and paved will make Crater Lake one of ' the most sought after and talked of j national parks in the country. A few years ago the supreme court decided that Crater Lake was a .local affair, 1 but notwithstanding this decision it is now taking its rightful place I among the foremost national parks and is reeciving much encouragement and support from 'the heads of the national parks, especially from Steph en Mather, head of national parks. "I am going to work with Repre sentative Bean and give him all the assistance within my power to see that this bill is successfully carried through." Notice! We nave secured the agency of the celebrated RACINE TIRES, the best tires ever sold on this market for the money, with a 5,000-mile guarantee. Adjustments, if any, made at this office. lw Haii, prop.
