STOCK WAR COMMENCES
Large Band of Sheep Slaughtered
in Central Oregon.
War botwecn the cattle aud sheep
owners on the California-Oregon-Nevada
lines resulted Saturday
morning in the killing of 2300
sheep, almost the entire herd
belonging to Grube & Parker, 40
miles northeast of Silver Lake, in
Oregon.
The herders for Orube & Parker
were overpowered and bouud by 10
men, aU masked aud heavily armed,
who theu proceeded to slaughter the
sheep, killing them like rabbits pen
ned after a drive.
Corop'etiug their work, the masked
men disappeared.
Shortly afterward one of the herdors
succeeded iu le'eas'ng the core's that
bound hin rud released his compan
ion, both hastening to the nearest set
tlement and telliug of what bad been
done.
This makes 4000 sheep that have
been killed in that section, aud in the
same nianuec, witiiiu the present
year It is chargea es the work of
cattlemen, who are very bitior against
shoepowue fo" 5fe leason that the
flocks of f'e latter destroy the ranges
for stock.
James Talbot, oue of the largest
sheep cwimrc 011 die three ):nes, is
uo.v enj.r-gcd in feeo'rg off 10 square
miles oT the choicest grazing laud in
thai secvion. The ca.t'eruen announce
tleir iuteut'on of co-ub.nt'ug this
move and when they attempt opposi
tion trouble is expected.
The end is not yet, aud those who
have watched tho progress of events
prophesy a repetition of the stock
war of Idaho and Wyotni-ig.
Quick Arrest.
J. A. Qulledge of Verbena, Ala.,
was twice in tne hospital from a
severe case of piles, causing 24
tumors. After doctors and all remed
ies failed, Bucklen's Arnica Salve
qnickly arrested further inflammation
aud cured him. It conquers aches

BETTER ROAD TO, GALICE
A Correspondent Save II la up lo
Cre-nte Pe.ee.
Never, since the balmy days of the
50's lias such activity manifested it
selfjas there la today. Both placer
and quart! mining present a busy
scene, the roar of the giant tuiugliug
its sound with the ponuding of the
stamp milv.
Among the numerous placer propo
sitions is the Gal'ce Consolidated
which owns a largo area of ground on
Ualice creek and their recent acquisi
tions along Rogue river. This ground
will soon be all covered by a Urge
ditch, which they are bringing from
Galico creek and which will bo com
pleted at an early date. They are
operating throe giants and have had
an abuudauce of water. Some of
their richest ground can only be
worked with elevators aud these, the
company are going to install in the
near future. This company, ably
superintended by A. B. Cousin, has
about 20 men employed iu tho mines
aud at va. ioDi other development
work. '
T. K. Anderson ou the Harmon
Green placers is also doing a great
deal of woik aud, notwithstanding
tho Inconvenience to which be lias
been put by a large slide, tie will un
cover a large area of bedrock. He is
operating two giants and will have a
good head of water until the first of
July.
At tho Old Channel, J. R. Harvey,
with a largo force of men, is running
two giants, tearing dowu a deep body
of gravel. This mine has boon work
ed for the past 50 years and there is
still au almost inexhaustible supply
of pay dirt left.
On Rocky Gulch, Lewis & Jewell
iv u a fine hydraulic claim. The
main body of the gravel lies along
Rogue river. During the high water
they pipe off the too g avel and as
soon as the waUr goes dowij. they
elenn op the remaining giavul and
bedrock as thoro they tlnd the greatest
values. As soon as they work off this
grouud, however, they wilt move
back aud work their higher ground
using the ground already worked off
as a dumping ground.
Among the largo quartz leads Unit
are under development, can be named
tho Almeda, Big Yank, Golden
Wcdgo, and numerous other proper
ties. Ou all these loads euough de
velopment work has been done to
thoroughly prove them to bo paving
piojwrtios, as soon as tho necessary
machinery can bo put on. '
Now, tins b.ief review of the nu
merous propositions of this dlst' ict,
only lead np to the main point which
I wish to Impress npon the minds of
tho people aud espocial'y the busiuesH
men of Giants Pass. It is simply
this: a bettor wagon road to this Mic
tion. All the diffe ent onmjiauies
emp'oy a la.ge force of men and it
takes a la.'ga amount cf supp'les to
furiiixli these men and they are en
titled to a liberal support from the
business oien of O-ants Pass. These
companies are also going to pat 011
lnrge and heavy machinery and with
the road iu the condition it is now, it
will be almost an impossibility to do
so. Wiiat conc'asion follows? That
these different companies will bai'd a
road connecting with the lnihoad
below Leland, which is now already
talked of. The road dowu Kogne
river is now almost impassible and
for two mouths this winter it was I111-
pnssinle to get a wagon over it. If
tho county cannot, or will not do any
thing for this section, let tho bDinc
men of Grants Pass meet these coui
jnuies half way aud subscribe enough
to put this road in a proper condition.
All these companies stand ready to do
their part, bat they feel as thongh
they ought to receive some support
from other sources. In the veiv near
future there will be hundreds of men
employed iu this district mid snmq.
thing mnst be dnno to give them a
decent outlet this way or tho bunnim
me'i of ill's town will wake rp to
find all this trado has flown. I'll in
article wasu't written to hncst any
iartlcular property, as there Rio num
erous proKsltioiia in this section de
serving of mention which we did not
chronicle. This aiticlo was par
ticularly wltien to impress ujion the
minds of the business men of Grunts
Pass the justice of the complaint of
these projierty holders. D.
LOST IN THE MOUNTAINS
Mrs. Henry Levieon Has Ben
Missini for Severe I Do. vs.
A report was sent out from Ked
ding last Tuesday that Mrs. Henry
Lcvison is lost In the mountains be
tween Indian Valley and Hayfork in
Trinity county aud searc hing parties
that have been hunting four days for
her have been unable to find her.
She set out afoot to walk the 15
miles from her home by trail to Hay
fork, a trip she baa been in the habit
of making once a month. Hur hus
band thought that she had made the
journey in aafety until six days
later, when he learned from Hayfork
tbat she had not arrived at her des
tination. The day that she started was a
stormy one, aud it Is believed that
he got lost in the mountains.
Searching parties were at once
started out, but no trace of airs.
Lcvison lias been obtained. There
are no houses on the road which she
traveled where she conld call. She
traveled with a dog, which lias not
yet turned up anywhere.

RESTORESRATE ON LUMBER
S. P. Co. Puts Old Schedule Into
Effect.-
W. E. Comau, general freight and j
passcngor agent of the Southern
Pacific, Oregou lines, has auouueed j
that the !. 10 rnto will bo restored to I
apply to common rough lumber
from points south of Portland to Ban
Francisco bay points. Prior to last
fall the rate for several years in
effect from Portland and Intermediate
territory ' to Sau Francisco had becu
$1. 10 per ton on lumber of all class
es, or o. 17 per thousand feet Jan
uary 1, a rato of 5 per too replaced
the lower rate, equivalent to 8.!!3
per thousand feet The water rule
from Portluud is 4 per thousand,
and the effect of the higher rnto wns
to preclude the operation of mills iu
tho interior, as they conld not com
pete with northern mills having
water carriage to soothoru markets.
Rail shipments practically ceased and
moro than three-fourths of the mills
of central Oregon along the Southern
Paciflo have boon idle since tho first
of tho year. The rato will probably
be effectivo May 10.

YOUNG TREES ARE DYING
The Few De.ya of Hot Wee.th.ei
too Much for Them,
Thero is snmo litilo uneasiness felt
among Medford f.uit growers, es
pecially among those who havo young
orchards, because of tho fact that
quite a number of their trees, varying
11 ago fioni oiih focr years, have died
during tho lust 10 days or two weeks.
The oti'y reason, o' theory, advanced
for this unusual occurrence is tho fuw
hot days we hrd a cooplo of wee Is
ago. It Is thought by mnuy that
those excessively and uuwaso ni'i'y
hot days lushed tho sap (00 qjlc' ly
and too plentifully from tho roots to
tho body of the trees and that tho hot
suu soured tho tap, thus killing the
trees. From the fact that during tho
throe or four weeks itninecliute'y pro
ceeding the hot N'Nill, tko weuhter
was decidedly cool ami during that
time tho trues did not ndvnnco a
p- t'e'e iowcrrt bloom, th's theory 's
made quite plauslhlo. Had the ba"k

The above me. t'oned tl oo is borne

Miss Emma E. Page accompanied
by Misa Ausorgo spent two daya iu
Urants Pass in February and visited
tho school aud met with tho W. O. T.
U. on a bone tho stormlost day of the
winter. Those who mot her will ap
preciate the following notes:
In her field jouruoyinga, tho writor
has lesrued many special lessons.
Words from business nien and women,
from commercial travelers, from rail
road employes, from miners and lum
ber men, have taught me that there is
a great latent sentiment for prohibi
tion national among the people,
mid souio day some force from God
nil1 bring it out aud It will toll lu
government just as oold brings out
the latent heat of water aud tho ther
mometer registers it. Kansas has
taught tno that prohibition despite in
fringement is vastly better than ,
license. Courtly Koutueky, splendid'
Ohio, np to-dato Indiana, rich Illi
nois, sparkling Wisconsin, prosiNcrons
Iowa, friendly Missouri, sunny Kan
sas, cloar-h' adod Montana, potential
Miiho, tho bree.y Kockies, golden
California, bright Oregon, all have
given me uobler ideals of men aud
women and havo taught mo tliatdlviuo
goodness will triumph "some glad
day."
A year's work spreads lightly over
IU states, but my schooling has beeu
unbroken by boundary lines. The
breadth of W. C. T. U. women, the
hospitality of homes, the anpport of
the churhes, the faithful Tlglla'ico of
railroad men, the courtesy of Ameriau
manhood, tho responsiveness of the
children havo taught mo to rust more
on tho goodness of Uod and human

Why 7
Many people, are anting why. The
qnestiou lias troubled you not a little.
Why is tho saloo'i so strongly en
trenched? Why aro so many good pooplu iu
every community iudilfuieut to its
lavages?
Why do they not ariso iu righteous
iii'liur tion and stamp it out?
It la not because tho ravages of
drink are unknown. It is not because
tho advantages of sobriety are un
familiar. It is not because tho saloou pretends
to be anything but a lawless abomina
tion. It is not because most crsous iu
every community would not gludly be
free from the ruin which it always
promotes.
'I lieu why is It permitted to live?
It is because of the commercialism
of the liquor tratllc. Millions of dol
lar are invested in the business.
The distller and tint brewer are in
terested. The saloon-keeper is inter
ested. Tho niau who owns the saloon
building is interested. The general
government is interested because of
the tax-money it collects. The cor
poration is interested because the
license money helps to pay officials
and builds roads aud sidewalks.
Worldly business men are interest! d
because of the money which the
brewer aud the saloou 1st sjieud. And
many Christian business men fall to
make war ou the saloou because they
know that such a war would alienate
-FREE
ee.
the brewer and the saloonst, and thus
contract the volume of profitable
trade.
Yea sir; its the MONEY centered

it so overwhelmingly influential
