. - In view of the immense and rapidly increasing growth
.'of the city's population, the eagerness of all who can
i 'afford it to build homes of their own, The Journal has
'decided . to supply the first want of the , prospec tive
home-builder an accurate estimate of the cjt4of, build
ling and plans for homes of various size. ' "
In this work it has enlisted an experienced architect,
-rend offers for five cents an expert opinion that-otherwise
would cost yon many dollars. The. plana are for
homes to fit the circumstances of almost any man, !
h The first plan-which will be published next Sundays-is
of a five-room cottage to cost $1,500. There is nothing
'of guess-work in this estimate of $1,500. Every item of
. cost. trttt enrert into the construction of a building is
. carefully reckoned, The figures are not taken out of
t r eastern market reports, but are gathered from builders
and dealers of this particular section. They are the
identical figures that an architect would give you if you
. went to him. ' . . , ' ' . ' v,' ' " ; '

Cleveland Telegram la New Tork Herald.
I cannot see the slightest reason for
predicting a financial crista or hard
times la the next few years," said Mr.
Jonn D. Rockefeller In the library of
nome at rorest Hill today to
"raid reporter. "The statement which
baa been, given publicity that-1 have
made auch a prediction Is absolutely er
ronsoua, ,,:,.
"My firm belief In the conditions that
now prevail, In the country la quite the
revorss. The country Is too prosperous
at present to warrant any fear that a
sudden disastrous revulsion of bust
nees le likely to occur.".. "
"Tou authorise the Herald. Mr. Rocke
feller, to deny thie alleged prophecy con
corning coming bard tlmssT" '
I do emphatically, rean scarcely set
a cloud on the financial horizon, ' and
certainly nothing that would warrant, a
fear of approaching trouble."
air. Rockefeller was entirely at a lose
to understand how the report of such
prophecy on his part gained clrcula
tlon. He was very emphatlo In . hie
statement that he had never said or In.
timated anything which could be con
strued tn that way.-"" : '
The only possible explanation or tne
matter lies In the fact that aoms time
ago. In the course of a casual converse
tlon with several men. he told, one of
tbem that he had better hold on to his
money; he might need It In a year or
two.
This waa Intended aa urely personal
advice to the man to whom he waa talk
ing and .In no way waa meant to be
understood aa applying to the , commer
cial condition of the country. Tne re
mark was heard by several persona and
tn all probability Innocently repeated.
It gained In significance as It was passed
along from man to man until finally It
materialized In an entirely unwarranted
form In the oublio orlnta.
"Why . Is ' It that the Standard Oil
has never had any labor troubleaT.' In-
eutred -the- Herald -reportel
- "That Is easily explained." repuea
Mr. Rockefeller. -"Every head of de
partment lit the Standard OH haa ext
plictt Instructions to treat all ths em
Dlovea with absolute fairness. When
that policy la carried out there la never
any danger of strikes or other unfor
tunate oondltlona. It takea two sides
to mske a quarrel. Where every one Is
treated fairly there ean be no poser
blllty of one."
As all ths world knows. Mr. Rocks
feller has madj"!t one of the rules of
his life to shrink from publicity. He
never haa ' given Interviews since be
became a conspicuous figure la Amer
ican life. - The reason tor tnis is not
that he haa any antipathy to the public
press, but that rather he applies the
same -yulsa to tiimself 'that be directs
should be employed by tbe heads of
departments to hla employesthat Is,
absolute fairness.
If I gave a detailed and exclusive
Intervtewtev y representative of ' the

A. list of pertinent questions waa

tions relative to tne Btanaaroj uu s
campaign la Europe, aa to tbe effect
of tlve Baku riots upon the 'Russian oil
Industry and how the division of Sak.

Mr. Rockefeller. replied that at pres
ent he did not feet at liberty to discuss
these matters, nor -did be care to com
ment on the business results of the
RuasoJapanese war.
As to his personal history, his ambi
tions as a young man and the secret of
his succsss be smilingly replied that all
that had been written about many times
before, and that It waa scarcely neces
sary to- review the matter now;
However, In' a conversation with a per
sonal friend recently Mr. Rockefeller
stated that patience had been the key
note of his life, and that to the qualities
of. patience and perssveranoe he -con

From the Port Orford Tribune. J
An exciting contest between a dog gnd
a ferocloua buck deer- wag narrated to "
the writer aa follows; Mr. A. F. Koch,
a prosperous German farmer who re
sldss about -nine miles from Harbor, "
had been annoyed by deer entering hla
garden and destroying his beas eron
and other vegetables. Mr. Koch, Who 1S
inciinea to oe vindictive, decided to re
taitate upon his Intruders by trapping
them, . .j....
Juat before dark he shouldered a No.
i hear trap and proceeded to a ' nolnt '
about 200 yards from his garden where
mere was a log that the deer were In
the habit of bounding aver, that mttnr-A.
ed a favorable location for the trap,
and there he planted it He faetened
the long chain to a bunch , of hazel
bruzh that he thought wasV- stout
enough to hold any dear. At the dawn .
of day on the following morning Mr,
Koch, accompanied by hla dog Sport end
kt. -i -1 . , . , . t
s Hiniiup, rasas pis way 10 tne
garden aa he waa anxloua to find out
the result of hla new trapping project
All of .a sudden a loud rattling and
banging noise waa heard In the direc
tion of. the garden that Indicated.. that
a wild animal of some kind had been
captured by the great ateel trap. Mr. '
Koch advanced elowly and carefully. to a
point from whence be could overlook tbe -garden
and to hla surprise found him- '
self eloew to A huge elx-polnt buck dee;
that waa imprisoned in the trap. The 1
Instant the Infurtatsd buck got sight of
the man and dog he made a furious
charge- upon them, and the dog and deer
came Into contact and a despsrate sn- :
counter ensued, Tbe hazel bruah that
the chain of the trap had been faetened
to had pulled up by the roots. . Amid the
excitement the frightened German re-
treated. In great basts and in his flight
fell down and was run over by the dog
and deer, narrowly escaping being in-.
Jured. After he regained hie footing 4
he climbed over the fence Into the gar
dan, where be remained and -witnessed
the combat, the maaterly buck making .
repeated charges upon Sport The two
combatants kept working down the hill
until they reached the fence where the
buck crowded the dog agalnat It "se
verely injuring him. ' ,'
Mr. Koch wss unable to ' render the .
dog any assistance aa he dared not fire
upon the deer for tear of shooting Sport
The continuous- punishmsnt thst wss
being inflicted upon the dog by ; the
sharp horns of the buck became ' un- .
bearable, nd Sport backed off a few
eteps that indicated that he was going
to show the white flag. At tbe seventh '
and laat charge that Jthe deer made:
upon him Sport attempted .to' avoid It ,
but was not quick enough, and the buck
ran - his horn through ths .strap .that
was around ths dog's neck, and Mr.
Koch declares that Sport was burled
It feet in the air. That was the knock
out blow, and all of the sport that was
In the dog waa taken out of him by the
time he hit the ground, and he gave
one heartbroken yell and got up. run
ning In the direction of the house,
where, he aought refuge under the house
and remained there for 14 hours. After--Sport
had deserted -the ring his mastsr
waa - left .to . finish the contest, and
opened fire upon the victorious busk,
