Already "Tracy and Merrill shows"
are on the load and the only reason a
book has not been printed ou this
themo is because the story will not be
complete until Tracy is killed or es-
capes. Portraying such character as
heroes is a famitiar form of offending
against morality and one. which Is
thoroughly fruitful in had effects.
Tho harm dono by the licroizttr of the
James boys, for instance, is Infinitely
greater than that dono by the men
themselves. There is nothing more
demoralizing than lawks or plays
which hold criminals up as heroes,
and decency demands their extinct inn
wherever possible.

in Cow creek, shortly ufter midnight
Sunday morning. The track was bad

ensioncd.
After thi! ears had been put back on
the track and started on their way,
they again left the rails near Tunnel

ANOTHER Kotil'E K1YER DAM
lWtor Ray, of Gold Hill, whoowns
the Prandeu and other mines of that
district is preparing to put in a dam
across lite Rogue river near Gold Hill
similar to the one being put ill by the
Golden Drift Mining couiauy, near
Giants Pas. He has already had the
site for the dam surveyed and will
put men to work at cin e on its con
st met ion.
The purioo of the new dam w ill he
to supply power for the several
mines iu that vicinity, and to Irrigate
the farms and orchards of that section.
Kor enterprises of this nature the
Rogue and the country through which
it passes, offer unlimited oppor

mill is to lie built at lreogn City, to
add to the already Urgw output from
licit extensive manufacturing jwlnt.
SURVEYING THE RESERVA

Eugene last week to do some V. S.
surveying within the limits of the U.
S. Forest Reseivation along the line
of the Oregon Military Wagon Road
on the castim slope of the Cascndc
Mountains. The money to jsiy for
the surveying is furnished by the
Booth-Kelly Conipuny to bo appro-
priated by Congress and rc)iid on tbe
proper vouchers in accordance with

By having the land surveyed, inside
of the government reservation, ana
deeding it to the Vuited States, scrip

IN "(JA LICK MINES.
R. C. Kinney, secretary of the Al-
tneda Mining Cniuiiany, has just re
turned from a visit to the property
of the company w hich is situated ill
the Galiee Creek district, Southern
Oregon. This is one of the old time
placer districts of the state and thou
sands of dollars of the precious metal
have been washed out from the creek
beds and surrounding hillsides.
Mr. Kinney states that the Alineda
Conqiauy have had a force of men
steadily employed since the first of
December and now have two tunnels
ill some 1-1.1 and 170 feet respectively.
A 'i'uliar feature of the vein on
which this pnqs rly is located is the
magnitude of its extent. It i w idth
ou the claims held by the Alnieila
Coniimny is at present forty feet and
we have been given to understand,
that it extends for miles having been
followed by outcrnpings all along the
line. The ore carries gold, silver and
cops r giving an average assay of fit)
st ton. The Alnieila Company
have already several hundred tons of
tine oar on their (lump and are block
ing out an iiiiim-uce body iu their
tunnels which carries the same grade
as the above assay report. The ore
is Is'imtiful to the eye, glittering with
copls r siilphurots and galena. Years
ago the old placer miner uissed and
ressed this gigantic ledge of miner
alized rock, little thinking that pres
ent day methods would allow the er
ection of stamy mills and other appli
ance for the reduction of the valuable
metals which are now being taken
from the hills. John P. Wickhamis
manager for the Alineda coniiaiiy
and his connection with tie; cum pany
is an assurance of success.
The Paei lie Milling and Develop
ment Coui)iany, whose pros rties ad
join the Aliaeda recently let another
contract to Mr. E. S. Merrill for
several hundred feet of tunnel work
and the coiiiimny is making one of
the best showings iu the district.
Several large companies are now
actively engaged in placer minim:
and at present making their final
cleanup for the year and in the aggre
gate it is est iimtted that the pu'ietit
yield will amount to over ihxi,(khi for
the spring season.

'FATAL RUNAWAY WRECK.
Conductor Joseph Frizell, of Ash
land, who has lieeu working ou me
McCloud River Railroad, bad charge
of a train, Thursday evening, that
met with a disastrous wrick in which
eighteen logging cars were totally de
stroyed and an Italian met witn a ter
rible death. It is estimated that tin-
loss to prois-rty will involve f 10,000.
According to the accounts ot tne
affair given lo the fceurchllgiil uj an
eye witness it apiicars that the train
had reached Cavanaugh Hill, which
is between McCloud and Ash ( reek.
It was ou the way to the mill lmud
from the wocds, and there fifteen log
ladeii cars were left standing on tin
main track while tho engine and crew
disiuusared on a spur into the timber
to seek more loaded cars. Through
some oversight the brakes on the ours
r, not securely set mid were left
dependent on the air to hold them.
The crew and engine had barely dis
appeared when another train in charge
of Conductor McDonald came along.
Not know ing the insecure stute of the
brakes on the standing cars, McDon
aid dropi'd three more loaded cars
down against them. This started the
entire bunch and away they went
down the grade. It was apparent in
but a minute that no human power
could stop the runaways. Speeding
on and attaining faster velocity, sped
the stiing until iu a few seconds they
were thundering around curves cu tin
hillside at an enormous rate.
The sole person to take part in the
hair-raisinir' iourncy was all Italian
and his end was sw ift and terrible.
He hud ls'cu .sitting on one of the 1."
cars with his blankets awaiting
ride into camp when came the fatnl
bump that started all. He had just
quit his job and was going out.
There was no chance for him to
iumii when he realized what was on
and he found himself siediiig liki
the wind. or. if he should jump, he
must have known it to mean a horribli
death. At any rate, he clung to the
train, and when the awful crash came
at the bottom of the grade und every cur
was reduced to it heap of splinters.
the brave son of Italy was crushed be
yond all recognition.
The accident was one of thu worst
to occur on the McCloud River Rail
road for some time, and w ill prove of
considerable ex-nse to the company
iu the loss of cars and damage to
roaiVbod. So complete was the de
struction of the entire 18 cars that,
according to Roadmastj-r Myrtle, not
even an axle or a wheel can be again
made use of. The wreckage simply
consists of a great heap of splintered
wood and badly twisted and broken
iron.

This rule is now in force on the
Omahn line of the Illinois Central, and
was ipiite recently enforced on an
Iowa st. i l.ntan. who was an extensive
nhipper of live stcek over the Central's
western lines, states Ihe Chicago Trib
une. The passen'M' demurred, ap
pealed to the conductor, and was
promptly ruled nnint hy that otli

particular in this respect, and still
others will probably adopt the rule.
It has lonir stnee been the custom of
many pase liters, who are obliged to
sit in a seat for tunny hours, to renwur
their footwear. Some are piinhcf
with t i-jht-fit tiny sIiovm. Others have
corns ami bunions, while the pedaj cx
treiiicties of still others are wont to
swell to about twice their natural sue
and thus make hours of misery for
their owners.
Sleeping car pnssenjrerH have no
trouble of thiti kind. The man, how
ever, who curia himself up in a coach
seat or stretches out in a reelini:
chair want to ense Ms feet before
he closes his eyes, even before the
conductor has taken his ticket.
Hero is where most nf the trouble
comes In. After a man has settled
himself for a reason of slumber there
is no telling what he will do with his
heels. The most natural act is to -le-ate
them and to allow ttiein to settle
on the head rest of the chair imme
diately in front. If that scat happens
to he occupied then then is trouble

not do more.
The railway people have found out
that the class of people they carry in
chair cars and hth-backed coach seats
will not put up with this custom, and
they are moving to Ptop it. The edict
has gillie forth that there is no ob

Manv diseases in organs remote from the
stomach have their origin ill a disease
condition of the stomach and its allied
organs. When the stomach is " ve'K.
there is a failure to properly digest and
assimilate the fixxl which is eaten.
Hence the whole bodv, and each orga
of it, suffers from lack of nutrition, s
that as a consequence of weak" Mora
ach, there may be " weak " lungs, " weak
heart, "weak" or torpid liver, "weak
nerves, etc. By curing diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition, "Golden Medical Discov
ery" enables the assimilation of the
nutriment necessary for the requirements
of a healtliv bodv. It increases the ac
tivity of the blobd-inaUing glands, anil
so increases the supply of blood which
is the vital fluid of the 'bodv.
