—Daniel O'Connell, chief special

here today that the agent of tho com­
pany at Ashland had Informed him
that the bandits who perpetrated the

who held up the Southern Pacific
passenger train No. 13, resulting In
the death of four men.
The trail

This announcement strengthens the
belief current here that a gang of
drug runners or users, operating in
Southern Oregon from Klamath to
Coos Bay are responsible for one of
the most cold blooded crimes ever
committed In the Northwest.

Klruna, North of Arctic Circle,
Sweden, Oct. 13.—(A. P.) — France’s
occupation of the Ruhr, and the re­
sultant collapse of the Swedish Iron
ore trade with Germany, have
brought hardship to Sweden’s great
northern Ironflelds and aroused en­
mity to France In the largo Artic
areas of north Sweden and Norway
which depend upon the payrolls of
the Iron districts for their existence.
In 192’2 the Klruna field used to
send three shiploads of ore dally to
the Norwegian port of Narvlg. At
the present time there Is scarcely a
shipload a week. Germany formerly
took the greater part of this ore. She
has the furnaces to handle It, but
her purchases have ceased since the
flurry In the Ruhr.
England and France have no fur­
naces suitable to the reduction of the
Swedish ore. The Bethlehem Steel
Company has furnaces which are ca­
pable of using this ore, and somo of

Columbus, Ohio, Oct. IS.— (I. N.
S.)—Attributing responsibility for
the World War to "lack of commun­
ity of Interests primarily," State Su­
premo Judge Florence Allen, addres­
sing the Woman's Association of
Commerce hero, declared that "If
the white race Is to maintain Its su­
premacy the Caucasian nations must
cultivate thia spirit."
Asserting that the white race can­
not survive another such conflict as
the recent World War, Mias Allen
stated that "peace must lie assured,
whether the assurance Is brought
about through a league of nations or

DEER SEASON WILL CLOSE
Hunter« Warned That October 20
Will Mark End of Hunting
The deer hunters of the county
will get their last chance for veni­
son this cAmfng week, an announce­
ment having just been received by
the game warden that the season
closes on October 20, next Saturday.
The season waa to have extended un­
til the first of November, it waa
though by tho local sportsmen. A
ruling made Friday by the attorney
general of the state and forwarded
here by Captain A. E. Burghduff,
state game warden, puts the old date
in effect, however. District No. 1,
or those counties lylDg west of the
Cascades are affected.
The deer season opened this year
on August 20, after much confusion
bad been occasioned by tho post­
ponement of the opening several
weeks later than that date. A suit
was brought and sustained for the
earlier opening. It was then thought
that the latei date for the closing
would apply but the ruling puts the
old dates back in effect.
Hunting has been fairly good this
year with an exceptionally large
number of bucks being killed. The
woods were full of hunters from all
parts of the state. It is Impossible
yet to estimate the number killed in
Josephine county.
It goes to America. Sweden export­
ed nearly 5,500,000 metric tons of
iron ore In 1922, and over 80 per­
cent of this went to Germany. As
early as 1913 Germany bought over
3,000,000 tons of Swedish Iron ore
for the Ruhr furnaces.
The railway which runs from I-u-
lea, on the Gulf of Bothnia, to Ner­
vig, north of the Artic Circle In Nor­
way, lives on the ore traffic. It
hauls export ore from Klruna to Nar­
vlg, and from Gelllvare and other
mines furthor south to Lulea. But
the latter port freexes, nnd In mid­
winter the export ore reaches tide­
water entirely through tho Norweg­
ian port, Narvik.
The crews at these great ore cen­
ters now have only three or four
days of work a week, and nre feel­
ing the pinch which threatens to be­
come worse unless France and Ger­
many reach some agreement on the
Ruhr situation.

INDIANS NOW SEEK EDUCATION

Washington, Oct. 13.— (I. N. S.)
—Education once sought the Indian
—the Indian now seeks education.
School facilities are now inade­
quate to accommodate the number of
Indian applicants at government
schools, the department of interior
has announced.
This condition, the department
states, is far removed from that
which prevailed some ten years ago,
when puntive methods often were
employed in inducing Indian parents
to allow and see that their offspring
attended the government schools.
Superintendents of Indian reser­
vations, the department further
stated, oftentimes were' compelled to
employ soldiers to secure attendance
at these schools when moral per­
suasion and other peaceful means
were of no avail against the Indian's
prejudice against schools.
Now, however, so enlightened has
the Indian become thut he not only
comes to the schools without force,
but readily helps in their construe
tion.
The parents of Indian children are
given their choice of sending them to
either a public, missionary, Indian
day or reservation boarding school.

HATIRDAY, OCTOBER HI. 192S.
Kilduff, one of the owners of the
Biskron mine, today told of the rich
bodies of ore which have been en­
countered in the mine at a depth of
170 feet. This is one of the most
favorable developments in the min­
ing Industry of southern Oregon, as
it proves that the gold of southern
Oregon is not all "surface" gold and
that vast bodies remain at great
depths. The ore exhibited by Mr.
Kilduff will run several thousand
dollars to the ton, he states, and
judging by the samples shown, the
values are not overestimated.
Hundreds of tons of ore are al­
ready in sight in the mine, states Mr.
Kilduff. with unlimited quantities
blocked out. The three stamp mill
on the property is now working on
the ore and a large amount of the
concentrates are being accumulated
for shipment to the smelter. The
main body of the ore will go over
3100 to the ton, concentrates from a
sample ton bringing 3130 when
shipped to the Selby smelter. The
vein which bears the heaviest values
is 24 Inches in width snd is full of
the yellow metal. This ore is found
in the chute in the south drift of the
cross-jeut, being the development of
the strike made last spring. On the
north drift, the men are now work­
ing in five feet of ore which will
also go well into the thousands. Not
only is the rock heavy with tree gold,
but It also carries tellurium in large
quantities, which when heated al­
lows the gold to work out.
The importance of this work, ac­
cording to Mr. Kilduff, is that it
demonstrates that values can be ob­
tained at depth, a development
awaited by mining men before any
great amount of capital would be ex­
pended. The belief has been current
here that gold could not be obtained
at great depths and only the surface
has been worked, mostly through
placers. If the strike made at the
Siskron mine were made in Nevada,
California or any other well known
mining fields, there would be an Im­
mediate rush of miners in from all
parts of the country. Mr. Kilduff
states. Claims would be staked and
the mines worked hard. The only
difficulty in proving, heretofore, that
the ore exists at depths, has been
the lack of bona fide effort and the

FORD TAKES OVER MODEL LUMBERING TOWN
WHEN HE BUYS SAWMILLS AND FOREST LAND
L’Anse, Mich., Oct. 13.—(A. P.)—
Pequaming, nine miles to the north
of L’Anse, is Henry Ford’s town. The
highest rent there is 31 a month,
electric light and water are furnish­
ed at cost, the doctor's bill is never
more than 31.50 a month, and fuel
famines are unknown.
The Detroit automobile manufac­
turer acquired possession of Pe­
quaming recently from Charles Heb-
ard and Sons, Inc., pioneer lumber­
men of the peninsula.
When the town was built in 1877
the owners set about to make it
something different from other lum­
ber towns. They wanted a commun­
ity of comfortable homes and happy,
contented workmen. They seemed
to think more of the welfare of their
employes than they did of the pro­
fits of their enterprise.
There are 105 cottages for the
workmen, two churches—one Prot­
estant and one Catholte—an amuse­
ment hall, a school, a clubhouse, a
waterworks and electric lighting
plant, a telephone system, a general
store where all residents shop, and
a public playground and park.
Each workman pays the same
rent—-31 a month. He need never
worry about coal, for he burns none.
Instead he stuffs his big stove with
hardwood from the company's for­
ests, paying 31.75 & a large wagon­
load—barely the cost of cutting and
delivering. A doctor admlnsters to
the ills of the community at a charge
of 31-50 a month.
The beauty of Pequaming has won
frequent comment from tourists.
The streets are well shaded, the
houses are of varying types, and
there is a garden with every house.
Purchase of the town gives Mr. Ford
ownership of Pequaming’« only in­
dustry. the sawmill property of the
Hebard corporation. This Includes a
large saw mill, lath and shingle
mills, and 40,000 acres of land con­
taining 400,000,000 feet of standing
timber.
