SHIPS COLLIDE: NARROW ESCAPE Although Night Was Clear, Two Ves sels Come Together Outside , of San Francisco ' Harbor. f EAGLE POINT EAGLETS $ By A C. H'wlctt ST. MARY'S STUDENTS TO PLANT TREES They Will Co-operate With Ladies o Greater Medford Club in Beau tifying the City. The students of St. Mnry's Aeml emy are looking forward to Novem her 24 with briclit hope. On tha dnv thev will co-operate in the lam nblo design of the ladies of th Greater Jlcdford club by planting trees.w hich will in future, by the: silent beauty and voiceless green honor the hands that so tenderly reared them. How beautiful n pme tice it is to iuculcnte in the youthful mind, by a day specially set apart for the purpose, the love of a elos and careful study of the gifts of the forests, thus cultivating n greater reverence nn dfiner senseo of the grand and the sublime in nature. Our poets have used their pure? thought, their sweetest 'music praise of the forest and the flowers Longfellow beautifully writes: "If thou art worn and heart beset With sorrows that thou wouldst foi get; If thou would'st read a lesson tha will keep Thy heart from fainting and thy soul from sleep, Go to the woods and hills! No sears Dim tho sweet look that natuie wears." Yes, many the lesson we recei through nature's teaching. Each flower of the field and the garden tells man to listen to nature's God speaking of tho love of an All-Wise Father who has beautified the canl in order to raise His creatures1 thoughts above. What objects can better inspiro us to gain victory over trials than tho trees! Think of the grand old oak, which in bold defi ance to its foe, while reeling in the wrath of tho tempest, is sending down to deeper hold its gnarled roots only to bo better able to triumph in tho next sotrra. Indeed, wo nro happy that tree planting day provides gracious means of u elosor acquaintance with "God's first temples," and we trust that this effore may result in much good. "lie who plants a tree Plants n hope. Rootlets up through fibors blindly grope; Leaves unfold into horizons free. So man's life must climb From tho clods of time Unto heavens sublime." Tho details of tho program now in course of preparation will bo pub lisho din a future issue of this papov. MONTANA CHINAMAN WANTED IN CALIFORNIA (United Press Leaned "VTIre.) BUTTE, Mont., Nov. 15.

The sleam schooner Cascade and the schooner F. XL Slade col lided Saturday when 'J5 miles off Point Heycs and ten miles northwest of the lightship. Hoth vussels nar rowly escaped going to the bottom. The collision occurred a few minutes before midnight, according to the re port of the eaptnins of the vessels which readied this port today. The Cascade, Captain Charles Xfa row, was bound for Astoria in bal last. The night was clear, with no fog. The Cascade ran directly across the course of tho schooner. The heavy jib boom of the Slade struck the smokestack of the Cas cade, tearing it and the whistle pipe awav. The boom then swept townrv the aft and swung the rigging into a wreck before it fell to the deck of the steam vessel. The crows of both ships wero ter ror-stricken. Neither knew that an other vessel was in the vicinity, and the belief general on each vessel that it had struck on tho rocks. When the real trouble was ascer tained Captain XInrow stood by un til it was ascertained that the Slade was not in a sinkinir condition. Tho Cascade then started for San Fran eisco, arriving early today. A tu; was sent to tne nut ot tne oiaue which was towed iuto the harbor to day. She- was leaking slightly and her rigging is badly damaged. The Slade is loaded with lumber for San Francisco from Gray's Har bor. Wash. She is commanded by Captain Harry Johnson. (Hy A. C.

CENTRAL POINT BANK FLOURISHING SHAPE Business of Neighboring City Shown by Tremendous Growth of Banking Deposits. (Stall Tribune Special Service.) CENTRAL POINT, Nov. 15. The business of tho Central Point state bank is in a most flourishing condi tion, the deposits at this time being somewhat in excess of $00,000. Tho bank has lately completed arrange mentB for sending currency and val uablo securities by insured registered mail thereby assuring absolute safe ty for this brunch of its business at n minimum oxpense. a case in point wns tho return of tho municipal wa ter bonds to Chicago tho other day. Tho regular express charges on this issue of $25,000 after being vali- ated by tho mayor and recorder. ould Imvo been about $00, while by the insured mail plan they went at a cost of some $12. Tho bank has lately made arrange ments for issuing foreign oxclmngo ireetly on nny foreign country in tho world. This will bo a great con- onienco to customers of tho bank mving foreign correspondence. ing for items f interest for the readers of tho Xlail Tribune, and among the things I noticed was that E. S. Wolfer, our strawberry and to mato man, was preparing to go iuto the H)iiltry business and has fenced off a tract of land expressly for tho chicks, built a neat and commodious henhouse; also bus planted tho posts for n new wire fence around his place .taking in a two-acre tract that he bought some time ago off the H. G. Brown place, and is weaving a fence, thus fixing things up gener ally. Also that Fred Pelouze is hav ing his home, on the place ho bought of Eli Dahack, remodeled and fixed up generally, and getting his ground ploughed and preparing to plant it to trees. That tho farmers along the route were generally busy putting in their crops, fencing or hauling their produce to Eagle Point market or for shipment. I also found the roads in a horrible condition, and when I en tor my protest against the manner in which the people in the outlying dis tricts nre treated with regard to the roads by tho county court, I foil that I am expressing the views of a mnjority of the taxpayers of the county. If our county court (now, I hope that this is not treason or contempt, of court) would open up their official souls and spend say $100,000 in improving our county roads and let the other fellow that comes Inter and has the benefit of the improvements, help pav for the work, it would be n benefit to those who nre now wallowing through the mini ana jolting over the rocks, in more ways than one, nnd would make the eountrj' so attractive that the prospective purchaser would fall in love with our country instead of being disgusted, as was a man I wns taking up Little Butte creek not long ago, when he rcmnrked that he would never live in such a country as this when he could find a penitentiary to live in ho wns so disgusted with tho roads. ion i uta not intend to write nn article on political economy; but the people in tho country back from the cities ha a right to better treat ment tinn they receive from the hands of -the county court.
