B. McColley of the real estate firm
of McColley & McColley of Tacoma
has purchased the manganese prop
erty known as the Manganese Consol
idated Nob. 1, 2 and 3f the ledge lo
cated by Hayden Dean, who lost his
life on the trail last winter. The
property was purchased from C. G.
McCallister and George Brltton, the
owners, and Mr. McColley will make
arrangements for extensive develop
ments. The ledge Is 20 feet wide and
for a depth of 11 feet Is said to carry
60 per cent manganese with $8 in
gold, and below that carries 27 per
cent in manganese. Grants's Pass

A huge 16-inch drill bit was taken
to the scene of the oil well activities
a few miles west of the city. Accord
ing to Mr. Jones, who Is financing
this enterprise, the machinery Is now
in readiness for beginning operations,
and work will be pushed along as fast
as possible. The "prospects" will be
sunk several thousand feet in the
search for oil, and sinco the parties
back of this deal are experienced
men, it is believed Douglas county
may yet enjoy the benefits of a real
"gusher." Mr. Jones and associates
certainly have the best wishes of
everybody for success In their under
taking. Rooeburg News.

There was just a slight suggestion
of the old-time western regime in
Grants Pass last Saturday night
when Night Police Officers McLean
and Martin undertook to round up
one Carl Crisler, wanted on a
charge of desertion and non-support.
Crisler obtained "leg ball" at once
and dodged down one of the alleys
between Fifth and Sixth streets. One
of the officers blocked one end of the
alley while the other sprinted for the
other side of the block, but the fugi
tive made good his escape. Mr. Mar
tin caught a glimpse of him as he
darted across the street at the rear of
the Peerless clothing store, and or
dered hira to stop, but Crisler was
hard of hearing Just then and Martin
tc-sk a shot at the man's legs as a
deterrent. He missed his mark and
Crisler forgot the speed limit as he
headed toward the river. He re
turned to town later, but was not tak
en into custody, his wife having with
drawn the charge of desertion. Yes
terday the couple left for Portland.

Alaskans Exempt
From Present Quota
Portland, Ore., Jan. 14.---Hardly a
local board in the state has not re
ceived from one to a great many In
quiries from men of draft age who
are registered in Alaska, who are
here in Oregon for the winter, in
quiring as to their status under the
new draft regulations.
.No drawing has yet been held in
Alaska and no order numbers have
been assigned Alaskan registrants.
What to do with these men, of whom
there are several hundred In Oregon,
has been a serious problem. Natur
ally, they have been anxious to find
out just where they stand, and no
body has been able to tell them.
The difficulty has been cleared up
by an official bulletin just Issued b"
the provost marshal general at Wash
ington, ruling that Alaskan regis
trants are not to be considered as
within the current quota, and ex
empting them for the time being
from certain provisions of the new
draft regulations.
The bulletin is in reply to a wire
sent to Washington by Captain John
S. Cullison, O. R. C, officer in charge
of the execution of the selective serv
ice law in Oregon.
The reason for the great number
of Alaskan registrants in Oregon at
this time is that many Oregonians go
to Alaska every summer to engage
in the fishing industry and in other
capacities. They registered there as
required by law, but are now back
home for the winter.
Under the official ruling, the regu
lations prohibiting draft registrants
in the current quota from enlisting
as volunteers in the navy or marine
corps, or from being voluntarily in
ducted int.o the army, will not apply
to Alaskan registrants for the pres
ent. They may volunteer In any
branch of the service that is open to
irfduction or enlistment. The ruling
follows:
"Inasmuch as no drawing has tak
en place in Alaska and no order num
bers have been assigned Alaskan reg
istrants, and since communication by
mail with local boards in Alaska is
now practically impossible, the pro
visions of the regulations relating to
the voluntary Induction into military
service and enlistment In the navy or
marine corps of such registrants are
not aoDllcable.
"The following is therefore or
dered to be effective until such time
as a drawing takes place In Alaska
"No person under the jurisdiction
of an Alaskan local board will be
considered as within the current
quota. Any such registrant desiring
enlistment in the navy or marine
corps, or voluntary induction into
military service, may apply to any
local board for the certificate re
quired by Section 151', Selective Serv
ice Regulations, or for voluntary in
duction. "The local board applied to will
require the registrant to exhibit his
registration certificate, and if satis
fied that he is in fact an Alaskan reg
istrant will require him to file a
questionnaire and will thereafter
treat his as one of its own regis
trants, except that It will enter in
every space requiring a local board
stamp the designation of the Alaskan
looal board, will forward to the gov
ernor of Alaska all papers required
to be filed by a local board together
with a letter of transmittal stating
that registrant was inducted into
military service or authorized to en
list in navy or marine corps, and will
not enter the registrant's name on Its
classification list.
"Credit for Induction accomplished
under authority of this telegram will
be allowed to the proper Alaskan
board. Of course, these men are sub
ject to the same restrictions as to
induction as other applicants and no
man will be inducted for any corps
or department of army for which in
duction has been stopped by existing
orders."
OIL-HEATEI) FRUIT
REACHES NEW YORK
Specially prepared oil-heated box
cars are arriving in New York with
Pacific coast fruit in perfect condi
tion. Even the severe cold encoun
tered in the central, western and
eastern states did not injure the fruit.
Sam G. Campbell, who with George
W. Friday arrived in New York in
charge of a train of ,25 specially pre
pared oil-heated cars with apples of
the Hood River Apple Growers' Asso
ciation, wired: "Friday and I need
baths and sleep, but tho apples in
every car are O. K." ',
Each of the cars was heated with
a Stundard OM Company's Perfection
oil heater burning Pearl oil (kero
sene). It is the same Perfection oil
heater in use so generally on the Pa
cific count.
By reducing the size of their sam
ples wholesale dealers .will save this
year $419,500 worth of cloth, repre
senting enough wool to provide uni
forms for 67,500 soldiers.

Stockmen Ask-Big
Range Next Year
M. L. Erickson, forest supervisor
of the Crater Lake national forest, Is
authority for the statement that an
unusually large demand has been
made for grazing permits by the
stockmen this year, more than can
be accommodated. The grazing fees
will not be raised during the coming
season, and the pravailing price of
36 cents a head per year for cattle
and 7 cents a head per year for sheep
will still obtain.
A total of 59,000,000 feet of lum
ber has been cut from the national
forests In the last two years by the
Pelican Bay Lumber Company of
Klamath Falls, according to Mr.
Erickson. In addition to this, the
Lamm Lumber Company has cut be
tween 5,000,000 and 6,000,000 feet
Although the cost of fighting the
forest fires last season was unusually
high owing to the fact that men had
to be Imported a considerable dis
tance, the comparative timber losses
were very slight. About 15,000 acres
were burned over in the Crater for
est, and a total of 15,000,000 feet
destroyed. This is only one-fifth of
the amount destroyed during the sea
son of 1910.
BILLY SUNDAY GIVES ,
OI'IMOX OF KAISER
A subscriber brought to the Tid
ings office an account of Billy Sun
day's address before 5,000 Chicago
anti-kaiser fans when he played
baseball with Hohenzollerism at the
Medinah Temple. Here are some of
the most outspoken "Sundayisms":
"The kaiser says God and he are
partners. Not so! The kaiser has
the devil backed off the boards and
fanning for air."
"The hell the kaiser has raised on
earth makes the hell below look like
a sideshow."
"As for lying, the kaiser has An
anias outdistanced so far you can't
see his dust."
"As I've said before, turn hell up
side down and you'll find 'Made in
Germany' stamped on the bottom."
"Let me give you a tip, old top.
I don't propose to buy anything
stamped 'Made In Germany;' not un
less I'm nuts."
But these were by no means all the
compliments Sunday paid the kaiser
and Prussian militarism.
"I have used all the adjectives and
nouns I could find in Webster's dic
tionary, but I am still convinced that
I haven't said enough to character
ize Ilohenzollornism adequately!" he
shouted.
"Germany thought we were a lot of
bush leaguers," he continued. "She
thought she was going to cram a lot
of her cussed kultur down our
throats. Is that the kultur that
sends soldiers back to the lines and
asks them if they'd rather have their
eyes put out or their hands cut off?"
"Germany lost out when she ex
changed Christ for Krupp the cross
of Jesus for the iron cross."

Peanut Butter
Found Harmless
The poisoned peanut butter scare
which arose In Thoenlx a short time
ago, when a resident purchased some
peanut butter and discovered it con
tained a gritty substance which wa
feared was ground glass, has been al
layed, when the butter was found to
contain ground stone. Dr. R. E. L.
Holt of Portland, Btate health officer,
made an analysis and reported as fol
lows: "We made an examination of th
sample of peanut butter sold from
a Medford grocery store to a resident
ot Phoenix, and also sent some to th
state dairy and food commission, but
no trace of glass was found. Th
gritty substance seemed to be stone.
The dairy and food commission ad
vises us that in the peanut butter
made from Japanese peanuts this Is
never found, but In the cheaper
brands made from the peanuts grown
in this country It Is often found. The
Japanese evidently assort their nuts,
removing all pebbles."
