tlvoy went to afciu sheep. They ouly
succeeded in saving abont 1000 pelt'.
as some of the sheep had been torn by
coyotes and others covered with anow
and could not be fonnd. The boys
think the number of sheep killed lias
been overestimated.
After three days travel by way of
Thousand spring, Christinas lake aud
the old Yroka trail, wo were com
fortably located 0 miles northwest of
Christmas lake and 20 mik'8 north of
Silver Ink 11, near a small batte sur
rounded for miles by juniper timber.
This butte is very rough and rocky
with small canyons in which the
sheep were cornered and stayed by the
hundreds. Most of the 1000 or possi
bly UuO were shot
Clubs of juniper were also used,
cnt from the near-by trees, the az
used iu cutting having been stolen
from the sheep camp. The-e clubs
wore about four feet long aud four
luetics at t lie big end, the bark all be
ing worn otT from violent use. As
many as eight or 10 clubs were found.
The first placo sheep were killed
was tho extreme, sou thorn part of the
butto at which place about 30 wore
in one. pile ou about one-half acre of
ground.
Sheep wero scattered promiaeously
for tho next quarter of a mile north,
when suddenly onp comes upon a pile
of about t',00 ou less than one acre.
then within 103 feet, jnst over a
small rimrock, another lot of 200 or
800 am scattered fur 200 yards to tho
iierders camp ground, at tho point
where the nincacro started. Here
were about CO which never got off tho
ground.
The herder was visited by one of tho
men jnst at dark and told to stay iu
his tent till daylight the next morn
ing wh?n ho conld start for Silver
lake. The ammunition belonigng to
the sheep camp had beeu stolen some
days previous to tho awful work
such no man can imagine uuless ho
could see.
Many of the sheep were only crip
pled, having their legs broken.
.Most of these were killed by the
owners two days after tho slaughter.
Many of the sheep wore torn pretty
badly ly coyotes, thousands of which
are iu evidence. Paisley Post.

THE BIG HIGH LINE DITCH
Money for the Enterprise Raised
In (he East.
Milo P. Ward, iu a recent Interview
with a Telegram reporter, haa given
out the following welcomo Informa
tion concerning the Rogue river line
ditch :
"Business conditions iu the east
have improved greatly in the last two
mouths,' say Mr. Ward, who has
been in Indianapolis, Iud., for the I
past nine mouths.
"Especially is this true of mining
Investments, which are attracting at
teutiou throughout tho financial
oenters of the country. "
Mr. Ward has spent nearly a year
in the endeavor to float the Gold Hill
high-lire ditch company, in which he
is heavily interested, at Gold Hill,
in Southern Oregon, of which he says :
'Within the past two months,
money matters have shown a marked
improvement. For three months be
fore that time, finances were very
shaky, and it was difficult to secure
financial aid for any enterprise ; but
the recent advance In Wall street has
aided me in carrying out my project
to a successful termination.
"Tho amount of money involved in
the enterprise is close to 1 1.000,000,
and means much to Gold Hill and
Southern Oregon; both from a niinlug
aud agricultural standpoint The
ditching will be used to convey water
for placer mining as well as for irri
gation. The ditch, when completed,
will bo nearly 100 miles long, and
will be used for placering a bed of
gravel, which has proven very rich ;
but ou account of the Inability to get
water 011 the ground, 'has lain idle,
and very little development has been
done.
'It is now the iuteutiou of the
company to begin active operations
and push this big enterprise to a suc
cessful finish.
"I was more than pleased at the
change of sentiment that has taken
place in the central Btates relative to
mining investments, aud the good
fueling that exists; especially as re
gards Gold Hill and Southern Oregon.
The industry is now looked upon with
much favor, sluco many business men
are drawing dividends from the pay
ing mines of the west, aud look upon
mining as safo Investments. "

OLD MAN-OF-WARS MAN
Jackson County Resident Takes
Lively Interest In War,
Mr. John Develiu of Applegato was
in Jacksonville Wednesday, says the
Sentinel. Mr. Develiu takes lively
interest iu the Japanese-Hussinu war
for ho is au old uiau-of-wara man
himself, serving threo years aud three
mouths iu tho United States uuiy In
tho early 'GOs. Ho served for two
years Iu the American bast Indian
squadron and was a blue jacket on the
Sao Jacinto, a steam frigate of HI
guns and having a crew of 850 uien
and 40 mariues, and which was one
of the crack fltihting shliis of Uucle
Sam's navy. The squadron was au
dor the command of Commodore Arm
strong, who succeeded Commodore
Perry, the American ollloer who for
ced Japau to open her ports to foreign
trade aud thus paved the way for the
wonderful progress that that remark
able peoplo have made. Iu ISTiS Com
modore Armstrong called at Yokaho-
ma with his squadron having aboard
the Sun Jacinto Consul General Har
ris, the first representative of the
United States to the court of Japan,
and who was escorted toTckio by a
detachment ot marines aud blue
jackets. Mr. Develiu was not with
the urty that visited the Mikado's
capitol, but he saw much of the
Japanese aud he has great faith iu
their fighting qualities, and as sailors
he thinks that they will rank very
close to American or Iiritish tars. Of
the outcome of the present war Mr.
Develiu is of the opinion that the
Japs will be the victors.

ON OLD FIGHTING GROUND
Japanese Are Familiar With
the Country.
Iu its campaigns iu Korea and Mau-
ohuria, Japan will be fighting on its
old battle fields. Less than 10 yoars
ago a victorious Japanese army fought
its way northward np the Korean
peninsula aud then turned southward
to the capture of Port Arthur.
Iu the spring of 181M, Chiua, on the
invitation ot Korea, seut soldiers
there to suppress an insurrection.
Japan objocted and on July 25th hos
tilities began by the toriiedolug of a
transport carrying 1700 Chinese sol
diers off the Koreau coast Several
minor naval engagements followed
and August 1st war was formally de
clared. Meauwhilo both powers were
transporting troops to Korea. Japan
landed 80,000 men at Chemulpo and
10,000 at Fusan, at the extromo south
eastern point of the peninsula. Chiua
massed a force ou the northern bound
ary of Korea, at the mouth of the
Yaln river. This army then marched
100 miles south to Ping Yang. Iu
September 84,000 Chinese woro bo
sieged in that town by 40,000 Japa
nese. The place was carried by as
sault, the Cliinesa losing heavily.
A few days later a Chinese squadron
oonveylng transports to Northern
Korea, was discovered by a Japanese
fleet of about equal streutli under
Admiral Ito and was defeated after a
desperate fight in the famous battle of
Yaln river. Tho Chinese force con
sisted of two small battle ships and
six armoured cruisers, besides gunboats
and tordepdo craft. Admiral Ito had
no battlo ships, but ho had five
oruiBors, superior in power to the
Chinese vessels. The horror ot the
battlo exceeds that of any recent sea
fight The Chinese ships wore soou
disabled aud sot ou fire aud surgeons
hurried about tho decks killing the
wounded with prussio sold to save
thorn from burning alive. So eager
wero the men to bo put ont of misery
that they strotchod out their arms to
the hypodurniio needles and begged
for the injection. Five of tho Chluese
ships wore lost aud about 2000 men
wero killed. The Japanese lost 200
mon but no ships.
Aftor the capture of Ping Yang, the
Japanese pushed slowly northward
conveying their Mold guns with dilll-
oulty through the mountains. Tiny
reached tho Yalu river late in Octo
bor aud thou fought their way across
Manchuria. Meauwhilo the Mikado
had lauded 80,000 men near Port
Arthur, which was defended by a gar
risou of 20,000 Chinese. A part of
the Japanese Koreau force turned
south and helped iu tho capturo of
Port Arthur, which fell lute Iu
November. Thf rest of tho invading
army passed ou toward Niunhwang,
au Important trading city on the road
to Peklu, and ouly about 8M) miles
from tho capitol. Further to weaken
the Chinese defense, a third Japanese
force was transiiorted to Woi-hai-wei,
the naval station across the struits
from Port Arthur. This fell in Feb
ruary after a siegu and tho destruc
tion of four warships iu the harbor by
Japanese torpedo boats.
The next month China anted for
peace, liy the treaty of Shimoueseki,
tho Pekiu government guaranteed tho
dependence of Korea, cudi d lower
Manchuria to Japan aud agreed to
rny an indemnity of 120 million dot
lars. Had this treuty stood, the tires-
nt war might havo been averted.
On the pretext that Japanese occupa
tion of Manchuria vould menuuee
Korea and China, Russia insisted
that Japan cede hack the prnviuco and
accept an indemnity. Two yoars
later the Czar's forces occupied the
territory and took possession of Port
rthur. The resentment which this
action aroused iu Japan undoubtedly
helped to bring 011 hostilities this
year.

THOMAS
MOTHERS' MEETING HELD
Quito b. Gathering at tho Ee.st
School Building.
The mothers' mooting held at the East
school building Wednesday, Feb. 24th,
was the first of a series planned by a
committee from tho Women's Club ot
this city to be liuld at intervals during
the spring term at the several depart
ments of our public schools. About 35
of the mothers wero present and partici
pated in a discussion of the subject uf
"punctuality."
A continuation of those meetings can
not fail to have a salutary influence on
all concerned ; and ill in time, as the
meetings become well organized, and
teachers and parents become acquainted
with each other's methods, euch taking
up the thread of discipline and character-building
where the oilier luavts off,
and with the assurance of each other's
sympathy and f ncouragemont. bear rich
fruit.
No formal program was adhered to
for the first afternoon. Huperintmidont
Young welcomed tho mothers and as
sured them o( the appreciation and
pleasure felt by the teachers at their
presence, and the Interest und sym
pathy manifested as to their efforts on
behalf of the children. Ho also gave
them a pertinent illustration ol the ap
parent lack ol Interest frequently shown
by parents as to the school lilo of thuir
children j too often allowing It to be
entirely secondary to soeliifand business
life. For instance, we would not lor an
instant entrust our household duties,
the managemoiit of our property or busi
ness even tho stock on our (arms, lo the
entire care of strangers without our fre
quent superintendence and thought ;
yet, with startling Inconsistency, we will
relegate the training and development
of our children mentally, morally aud
pi ysirally for the lurger portion ol the
day during nine mouths ol tho year, to
strangers, without s thought, or occa
sional visit.
Mrs. Hoy Wilson favored the mooting
with a zither solo, alter which the teach
ers and mothers discussed the subject ol
"punctuality," the great Importance ol
instilling tlmt principle, tho bearing
that such principles havo on sucrocs In
life, and the responsibility that parents
and teachers mutually sustain In the
matter.
It was veiy apparent that thore pre
sent fully realized their responsibility
and were ready to assist and sustain
each other in the discharge olit.
A larger attot dunce is hoped for at
the future meetings. Tho subjects (or
lifCiission will be announced later.
