the extract: , , .
This fall, about September 1. to
prospectors. (Ira.ly and Ford, arrived
n Telegraph Creek with Wj ounces
of fairly coarse gold which Ihey stated
was found on rim-rock at the mouth
of Gold Tan Creek. They recorded
discovery" but were not particularly
xcitcd about the find, admitting that
bedrock had not been reached ut any
place, but considered it well worth
further consideration next season. .
"However, some local people got
the fever and together with the cap
tain, crew and cook of tho river boat
from Wrangell beaded for tho new
diggings. Government records show
that "P to the end of the year Hfci
claims had been staked on (iold I an
and tributary creeks. No conclusive
work has been done and no more is
known of llm country than when
Grady and Ford enmo out,"
Mr. Hrognn states that while Orady
and Kord wero struggling buck to
civilisation with their ounce
poke, numerous prospectors in south
ern and eastern Oregon were doing
the same and going the Cnssiar pros
pectors a few better. Mr. Ilrogan
and Carl F. Owen of tho Hohemia
, mining district, located In T.ano coun
ty, Oregon, in tho Umpqun national
forest, topped tho rim of Hteambont
. creek, a tributary of the north 1,'mp
'qua, for a considerable number of
ounces greater than the Cassiar bon
anxa, and this of fairly coarso gold,
' but o far there ia far from being a
' atampedo Into the country that lies
southeast of Cottage Orove.
A Both Brogan and Owen believe that
any would-be gold seekers from Ore
gon who don't know porphyry from
, prune-Btones or gold from "Ked bluff
copper nuggets" would savo a lot
of grief by confining their hopes of
acquiring a "flock of colors" to a
region a littio less remote than Gold
Pan creek in the Cassiar country,
because from present indications the
beans will be hanging pretty high in
that country within the next few
months and the Btikine river is pretty
swift for tho outward bound rafts
of those who are not Henry Grndys.
Mr. Brogan, who baa a genius for
rhyming, summarises his views thus:
There's always two ends to a gold
stampede
But we only hear of one.
Far the hsndred will fail where the
ne stakes good
Tbey're Aunt say boy, they're done.

Estelle (iehling. Shepherd's "sunshine
girl' and a quotation from a letter he
had written o her admitting financial
insolvency and nn intention "to cloe
my office here and drift away from it
all." j
Judsp Thomas J, Lynch agreed wito
Robert K. Crowe, state's attorney,
that while the letter was highly pre
judical ag:tinst Shepherd, It wusj
pertinent in that it confessed, In hi j
own handwriting that he was bank-1
nipt nnd his outlook was hopelens
one month before Voting MeCllntoek
died innd left him an estate of more
than a million .dollars. It was agreed
that only n portion of the letter

INSURE WITH HEXUt TROMIV
caused' all the trouble had been ap
proved by the atate board of educa
tion and had been used seven or
eight years. What I could have done
would have been to skip over the
paragraphs oa evolutionary develop
ment. But all of biology snd most
other sciences are basically the story
of tbe evolution of matter and of
life. 'I was hired to teach science
and I went 'ahead and taught it."
Just a Country Boy '
Scopes visiting New York for the
first time insists that be is "just a
county boy." His home is Paducah,
Ky., where he was born. His father
is a railroad man. He attended the
Cniversity of Illinois one year and
the University of Kentucky three
years. He was graduated a year
ago, and the school at Dayton was
his first job. Scopes is tall, sandy
haired, blue-eyed. His manner is the
farthest from the dramatic and bis
voice is quiet, hut he has 'the face
of an aggressive fighter. 11
This great battle of evolution be
gan so simply that Scopes might well
think it merely a skirmish. It opened
in that forum of American discus
sion, the village drug store.
"I came in from playing tennis one
afternoon and found them all excited
at Robinson's Drug store," recalls
Scopes.
"That was soon after the anti-evolution
bill became law. They asked
me what I thought about it, and I
said I didn't think anyone could
teach science in Tennessee if he ob
served those restrictions.
"Well, 'Doc' Rsppleyea got after
me to let them make a test of the law
on me. And that is how it started.
"Before that I was simply teach
ing to get money to go back to school
again. I did not know definitely
whnt I wanted, but I was interested
In Bclence. It has been my idea all
my life to mako plans and keep
working toward them. And then when
the plans blow up and some big thing
interrupts, to seize the next best
thing promptly and without fear.
"All my attention now is centered
on this esse. I haven't thought what
it is going to inenn to me. I can't
imagine what is ahead, but for the
present I am going along just an
strong as possible on this line."
Not a Church Member
The young school teacher is not a
church member, although of a Pres
byterian family. One of the books
he brought with him on his trip to
New York was John Fiskc's "Through
Nature to God."
"1 don't know if I am a Christian,"
he says. "I do believe in the ethical
teachings of Christ, and I believe
there is a God. 1 do not think I hove
been contaminated or ruined by
studying about evolution."
"What about New York?" Scopes
wpit asked.
"1 was certainly impressed by the
size of the Pennsylvania station When
I got in," he soys. "There's no com
parison of New York with Louisville,
or Lexingtn, or Chattel "ga. But it
looks too big to me. 1 do think it
is a place where men deal with big
things nnd big problems. But I'll be
glad, to get back to Dayton. They
are all my friends down there, in
spite of everything."
