Taking advantage of a " diversion

trusty employed as a .cook, escaped
from the county Jail some time between
6 and 8 o'clock last night. . He was
serving six months for larceny. He
clambered into the attic of the court
house and went across to the east wing,
getting down to the sixth floor through
an unused elevator shaft. From there
on it was merely a case of walking
down to the ground floor.
Ivy has a suspended sentence of

The taking of testimony in the suit
of the J. M. Sweeney Constructljn
company against Jackson county to
recover approximately 185,000, which
has been In progress before Circuit
Judge Davis since February 21. will
probably be concluded this week.
The construction company had tie
contract for grading 13 miles of high
way over the Siskiyou mountains and
has set up a claim ior extra allow
ances.
To combat this claim the county
has introduced evidence to show that
the contractor has been fully com
pensated and that wb.ere delays were
caused to the work through the fault
of the county due allowance has besn
made.
T. A. Bedford, assistant engineer of
the California state highway depart
ment, testifying as an expert, said
that he had gone over the work, classi
fied and measured it. The total fig
ures he arrived at were $4000 under
those arrived at by the county's en
gineers. In his opinion the contractor
had been very liberally dealt with.
N. D. Miller of St. Paul, and chief
engineer during the construction of
the North Bank railroad, was another
expert witness in behalf of the county.
His testimony was on the same lines
as that of Kngineer Bedford, only he
found that the county had overpaid
to the amount of approximately $7000.
His figures were $3000 under those
of Bedford.
The county has also Introduced evi
dence claiming that a final settle
ment was made with the contractor
nearly one year ago.

Marshfield, Or., March 27. District
Attorney Liljeqvist has started fore
closure suits against all lands, on
which the taxes are delinquent from
1909 to. 1914. The complaint filed U
the largest on record in the circuit
court. It is expected that the pro
ceedings will bring a large amount
of tar money Into the county. In
cluded in the suits are tracts of the
Southern Oregon company and . O. &
C. grant lands.
Another source of revenue will
likely come to the county through a
settlement of the taxes due on the
L. D. Kinney properties. There is
$40,000 taxes due on these holdings,
which have been involved In litiga
tion, and the county commissioners
have made a proposition to F. B.
Walte, who holds a mortgage on the
property, for a compromise settle
ment
If this Is accented the taxes will
ffot only be paid but the property
will be put In such shape that It can
be handled. It includes 10,000 town
lots around North Bend and between
that city and Marshfield.
Autos Injure Railway Traffic.
Marshfield. Or., March 27. Travel
by automobile has become so much
more popular in Coos county than
rail transportation it is likely that
there will be only one train a day on
the Southern Pacific from Coos Bay
to Coquilie Valley points. There are
now two trains a day each way, but
the schedule win probably be cut
down for the summer service.

Stockmen ookina for Cattle But
Across Old Cave Containing' Evi
dences of Habitation of Indians.
Corvallls, Or., March 27. Two stock
men, John Owens and William Hughes,
living near Alsea, in the western part
of this county, found a hidden cave
while cattle hunting a few days ago
in which were a number of pieces of
ancient pottery and other Indian relics.
The cave was about 10 by 15 feet in
size and the entrance was entirely
hidden by trees and shrubbery. The
discovery was accidental. One piece
of the pottery is' considered a valuable
find. It Is an urnlike clay vessel
about 12 inches high, covered with
markings and Inscriptions. A de
scription of the pottery and markings
will be sent to the Smithsonian insti
tute. Though it is generally conceded the
relics are Indian .workmanship, local
experts say they must date back long
before the present day Indians, for
none of the known tribes that in
habited the Willamette valley were
cave dwellers, but were tepee Indians.

The average attendance at each meet
ing, therefore, was 618, approximately.
A large amount of publicity was given
the tourby newspapers.
The largest attendance was in Wash

the Chamber of Commerce of the United
States. Some of the most successful
exhibits were made in Chicago, and rail
road representatives of Chicago report
more inquiries about Oregon, including
rates and tours, than from any of the
other cities visited, although the peo

Special Message to
the Women
NO. 6.
This is our sixth message to
you. In it we want to recount
some of the facts contained in
our previous announcements.
Pasteurization is absolutely
your only guarantee of pure
butter. Mr. W. F. Jensen,
president of the Mutual Cream
ery Company, and his brother,
were the first to use this
treatment of cream in the
United States. Hundreds of
creameries do not yet pasteur
ize their cream, and it is there
fore unsafe to use their butter.
To protect butter from con
tamination after, it has been
pasteurized, it must be wrapped
in wax paper' and placed In a
dust-proof carton. We were
the first to adopt this modern
method in fact, we intro
duced it. All our packages aro
sanitary.
We were the originators of
the four-print butter .packing
four separately wrapped quarter-pound
prints in a germ
proof carton. We named our
first package of this kind
"Four-In-One" Of course, it
was extensively imitated, and
we soon found that, while
other butters were not called
"Four-In-One," they were all
trading on the name because
they put up four prints. That's
why we introduced MAID O'
CIX)VER. the highest quality
table butter. Its purity is
guaranteed, because every
ounce of cream in it is PAS
TEURIZED. Here's another fact: Mr.
Jensen and his brother were
the first creamery men to ad
vertise butter. Tou will find
it profitable if you will follow
our advertisements and read
each one as it appears.
We chnrn every day. Deli
cious, pasteurized Maid o'
Clover Butter Milk may be
purchased from dealers.
Yours truly.
