The workmen in the tunnel heard the report of the cracking cement and rushed to another part of the bore. Several tons of eartli came down with a roar that could be heard all over the northern section of the city. It would be necessary to run a steam shovel into the tun nel In order to lift the huge pieces of cement. Engineers at the tunnel declared today that the cause of the accident Is probably due to recent explosions of slag which has been dumped into the bay by the smelter in the vicin ity.

The definite announcement is made that the characteristic Okla homa Ranch Wild West show, which has created so much enthusiasm else where, is to exhibit in Grants Pass Tuesday, Aug. 12. This will be good news, not only to thosa who view with regret the passing of the old romance of the west, but also to the thousands to whom the strenuosity of a typical wild west show espec ially appeals. That the Oklahoma Ranch exhibition is a typical wild west show and then some seems to be universally admitted. Being recruited In Oklahoma the great cattle ranch state and having for its incentive the truthful depiction of life upon the plains and ranges, it is not strange that it should be accept ed as the' "real thing" by those to whom the life of the "wild west" is familiar. Naturally, the Oklahoma Ranch show presents some of the features that have attracted attention to other exhibitions of this character the at tack upon the stage coach; the cap ture of an immigrant train by wild Indians: the arrest .nul punishment of a horse thief these things belong to the old life of the border, and they cannot be ignored; but. in addi tion to these picturesque border dramas, the Oklahoma Ranch Bhow, it is announced, offers many features distinctly its own and which are ex pected to create a sensation when presented iu this city. For instance, as a big special feature, the manage ment offers the latest sensation, Auto Polo. This marvelous act is the sensation of the day. There will be roping of extraordinary merit by the great champions of Oklahoma, the Pendleton Round-1'p and the Cal gary Stampede. There will be reck less riding of bucking cow ponies and outlaw horses. There will be horse back quadrilles and extraordinary shooing contests by experts with rifle and shot gun. Of course there will be a street parade. That goes without saying with this show. Rut the street dis play with the Oklahoma Ranch show is described as so unusual so pic turesquely massive In Its features as to constitute a distinct departure in street pageantry. It will be giv en regardless of the weather. Artistic Job work at Courier office, letterheads at Courier office, rvfe stationery at the Courier.

And what would be the commercial value of the meat of the entire herd at that time at the rate of ten cents per pound, figuring each animal would dress 500 pounds net? The first person making a correct answer of the exact number of elk we would have at the end of that period and the value of the meat, will receive a prize of $2.00 in trade in sporting goods at Joe Wharton's Sporting Goods Store on Sixth street.

Each cou gar kills an average of two deer per week, one quarter male and three quarters female. Suppose all cou gars were killed this year, what would be the increase In number of deer in six years, using as a basis for a beginning, the number of fe males estimated as being killed by cougars? Also what would be the meat value estimating each deer of the increase to weigh 75 pounds and value to be ten cents per pound. In making calculations, use fol lowing: All does to have two fawns In 1914 and each year thereafter, one-half male and one-half female, female fawn to have one fawn at two years of age and two fawns thereaf ter, and all Increase to be figured on same hasls, also same basis of half males and half females.

"." per cent of which are does. Suppose a bounty of $5' for each cougar were to be paid, and in one year's time, all cougars were killed, what would be the (OBt to the 14 counties in bounties, and what the gain In value of meat, after one year, valuing deer meat at 10 cents per pound, and averaging the weight at 75 pounds per deer, using as a basis only the number of deer killed by the cougar? W. R. Whipple brought in the first correct answer to the above, which was: Bounty for cougars, $35,000; amount saved to the counties In deer meat. $fiu3,750; thus he is entitled to the $2 in trade at the Peerless. This Is to certify that I have ex amined thf solution of the problem submitted by the Peerless ClothlnK eompany with reference to the num l,er oi d"er killed by concurs and amount saved by the couears being I Uie.1 and I find that W.

HEATH. 893 Ro jue Valley Attracts Outer And Hunter As a hunting and fishing sectlou so uUiew ostein Oregon and north western California is a peer of any section that I know of. The sports man Is nut bothered with insects such as prevail in most sections, and there is always plenty of good spring water and fuel for camp, no matter where you go. For hunting large game this sec tion stands alone In every particular, for no matter in which direction the hunter wishes to go the hunting grounds are easy of access, and fur thermore there Is no danger of the hunter becoming lost as Is the case in many places. The hunting grounds are mostly on the mountain ranges which are surrounded by val leys that are settled, and any time one becomes confused In regard to directions a few hours' walk down hill will bring him out upon a set tlement. I have done a great deal of hunt ing and fishing In my time, and I have always been interested in such sports and I know of no section on this continent that affords the cli matic conditions, game, camping fa cilities, easy accessibility and secur ity to the hunter that this section does. J. T. Tl'FFS. Assist Nature in Creation of Sport Paradise With very little assisUuce from man, the mountain region of south ern Oregon could be made a sport man's paradise. Nature has done her part with a lavish hand beauti ful scenery, open range with the best of natural food and cover for deer and elk throughout the entire year. In the deal, cold waters of the numerous creeks aud streams the finest trout abound. The camping advantages are the best on earth, wood plentiful, the purest water run ning riot everywhere, no mosquitos or other insect pests to make life miserable and in the middle of the hottest season night so cool and pleasant, just right for a good health ful sleep after a hard clay's sport. Taken altogether it Is one of na ture's, best recreation grounds. Man's part of the work Is to assist by protecting the game and fislt from their natural and unnatural enemies, and to assist In the work of propaga tion.

SOU TIO.V OF THE MEAT I'UOHLE.M. Have you noticed the problems on d'?er and elk which are now being published In this paper, answers for whifh certain enterprising and pub lic spirited merchants nre donating prizes? Do you realize that certain enter prising gentlemen lu Grants Pass, id t'.e s'.rntindhiir counties of 9 ik Louis. Ma ikfill Father, You Smoke - Duke's Mixture" southwestern Oregon and northwest ern California are educating people of north America and have found solution of a serious problem now facing this continent the solution of the meat problem There are ninny of our ploneore who remember the Immense herds of elk which roamed mountains and valleys of the Pacific coast. They also remember, the buffalo, the moose, and the deor; how these vast herds were Indiscriminately slaugh tered by the red and white men. Why should our government not look Into this proposition and util ize the vast acreage of the forest re serves making game refuges of these spots endowed by nature for the propagation of game of all kinds. Is ten years time, by killing off the pre datory animals that prey on this helpless game, we could have herds of deer and elk that could forever solve the meat problem, herds from which hundreds of thousands of an imals could he taken annually, and that at a minimum cost to the people. We have the foress, the forest ranges, and a system now In exist ence, which with but little added expense, could do a double service, that of conserving for future gener ations our lumber and wood, and produce for the present and future generations meat, a commodity which we can not do without. Let It but be known that this ts the solution, and undoubtedly the government will take It up and work It to a successful conclusion. This problem Is large enough for all, so all are naked to come In and assist In the undertaking which th Came and Fish Protective association of Josephine county has Inaugurated. i.w c vnov Al niton ( i M M ISSK IV NOMINATION'S- Washington, Aug .".-Senator Hoke Smith of (leorgln, chairman of the sen a if committee on education and labor, announced today that thft committee is ready to consider nom inations to the nitional Industrial corimiNsl'in.
