Reports from the Russo-Japanese
war are to the effect that the compar
ative qolet which has prevailed dur
ing the past week has been rudely
broken. The Japs have begun another
fiorce attack on Port Arthur and al
most simultaneously another grunt
battle has began at Mukden between
the forces of Oyaina and Kuropatkin.
It appears that the Japs have more ad
vantage than was the case in the Liao
Yang battle in which they gave the
Russians such a severe defeat.

The long continued smoky season
and the groat number of forest Area
now burning have brought the sub
ject of bettor foiest protection Into
nnusual prominence. There Is little
doubt that the next legislature will
enact some changes In the fire laws
but there Is also little hope that these
changes will be In the right direction.
11 will probably yet take some years
01 experience and the destruction of
much valuable timber to convince the
legislators of the entire error of the
present systom, which Is based on Hie
theory of keoping all Are out of the
timber forever, an absurd impossl
Mllty. The longer Are is kopt out of
tne woods the more dostruotlve the
Are when it does come, as it certain
ly will- in time. The only way to
protect the forests is by frcnuont
bnrnlngs, the fires of which will not
develop heat enough to injure the
larger growths. This idea prevails
among sxporleuoed woodsmen, but
not among those who ooutrol loglsla-
"o proDaole amendments to
the Are laws now In foroe, will be to
make them more stringent and to

Among the new displays received
this week at the Mining Exhibit build
ing, are a lot of Ane looking ore from
the Carr mine on Foots creek, several
large pleoes of crude graphite from
Swede Basin and some specimens of
cinnabar from Picket creek. New
displays are being received from time
to time and the exhibit is constantly
increasing In size and excellence.
The rooms are daily becoming more
and more popular as a resort for those
interested in anything that ooncerns
mines and minerals and the register
shows a rapidly iucroaiinsr dailv at
tendance. To the stranger from the
east or from other parts ef the Pacific
coast, the exhibit is a convincing
demonstration of -the excellence of
Southern Oregon as a mining country.

pound, quartz, bearing free gold in

At Ashland on Friday, William
Monroe, a laborer, shot his wife, 8-year-old
child, mother-in-law and
sister-in-law with a 82 calibre re
volver, and then put a bullet in his
own head, dropping dead instantly.
A few days ago Mrs. Monroe filed
an action for divorce against ber hus
band, and pending the trial, which
was set for Saturday in the circuit
court, the was given possession of the
child. Following the beelnninir of
the suit Monroe came to bis wife's
home one morning, and, on pretense
of seeing the little one, abducted ber.
umcers were at once put on his track
and in a few hours recovered and re
stored the baby.
The tragedy occurred at the home
of Mrs. Oscar Garner, Monroe's
wife's sister, a little house in Rail
road Addition, whither Monroe had
followed his wife and her mother,
Mrs. ilizaboth Dunlap. "The latter
Monroe blamed for much' of his
domestic trouble. - ,
Entering the house he first fired al
Mrs. Dunlap and then at his wife,
wno sought to protect her mother.

Mr. Zumalt, an old and well known
citizen of Merlin, died Friday morn

of the Blue Channel Mining & De

rangements to have a hydraulic plant
put in on their claims in Robinson
Gulch on Coyote Creek in the Wolf
Creek district
This property,, consisting of three
placer claims, was prospected six
weeks ago and proved so satisfactory
that Messrs. Milton and love bought
in witli Mr. Thomasson, the original
lecator, and formed the company
named above. At present a force of
men is employed cleaning out ditches
and sluice boxes, preparatory to com
mencing work with enlarged facili

being built for tho accommodation of
Superintendent Thomasson.
"A number of hydraulic proposi
tions are to be opened up this fall in
that djstrict, " said Mr. Miltou re
cently, "and it appears as if Coyote
Creek would be one of the coming
sections. Many prospectors have
come in because of the reports con
corning Sucker Creek, and now they
are turning their attention to prop
