WILDCATS
P
"ROMOTERS of the wildcat town of Uilhimu, which
was widelv advertised throughout the northwest a
few months ago as the future metropolis of central Ore
gon, and the coming great city of the interior, are to he
prosecuted in federal and state courts for fraud.
Town lots were sold throughout Oregon and "Washing
ton in this visionary city which actually consisted of a
sagebrush plain in the lava beds. The coming of the rail
road was made a means of coining money by unscrupu
lous promoters from the unsophisticated, who were led
to believe the glowing falsehoods so widely circulated.
Of course the damage has beeii done. Tho money has
been secured. Probably the perpetrators arc beyond the
pale of justice. No amount of prosecution will secure
the dupes their money back. Builders of legitimate
towns will have hard sledding and the real progress of
the country retarded.
"Wildcat townsites are not the only subjects that should
J engross the attention of the
the only fake schemes being worked for nulking the pub
lic out of its hard earned coin. There is as much wildcat
ting in orchard land as in townsites, or mines and it is
evidently equally profitable to the promoter.
Orchards are advertised in regions that never pro
duced a successful commercial orchard. Facts and figures
from proven districts are displayed along with glittering
generalities, and the sucker made to think that they ap
ply equally to the property advertised. The result is a
certain injury to legitimate orchard promotion.
Admitting financial responsibility and reliable busi
ness management, which cannot be proven in nine-tenths
of the cases, there is no guarantee that untried regions,
differing in climatic and soil conditions, will produce the
fruit that a few limited sections have. Because fruit rais
ing is profitable in one place does not mean that it can be
in another, yet such is the inference from reading the
glowing literature sent broadcast.
Every section undoubtedly grows someparticular va
riety or kind of fruit to perfection. But it takes years of
experimental work to find out what this variety is. This
experimental work has been done in the proven district,
hence the enhanced value of property in it.
Some way should be devised whereby the investing,
non-resident public could be reliably informed as to the
character of the property in question, for nothing reacts
to the injury of legitimate business more than the fakes
masquerading as genuine.

Fish Commission's special fish car
Is held up here. Weekly trips with
young trout for distribution in tho
streams of the otate have been sus

ened by fall rains.
Baby trout are tender creatures.
To takb them from tho cool waters
of tho state hatchery and transplant
them In an adnormally warm stream
In the southern part of the state
would endanger their lives. And be
sides, It Is not tho best to put them
Into streams where tho water Is ve
ry low.
Tho car will make five or six more
trips before the season Is closed
Plumas county will bo served soon
after tho Western Pacific Is opened
on August 22, The car will make
two trips to Plumas. Grass Valley

plosion of a celluloid stny in a wo
man's shirtwnist caused destruction
by fire of the United States Laundry
company's plant, Grand avenue und
East Yamhill street, yesterday and
entailed a property lofes of approxi
mately $75,000 and throwing about
200 people temporarily out of em
ployment. The lives of nearly 100
girls were in jeopardy for several
minutes and many of them would
have been lost but for heroism dis
played by some of the firemen and
a few pascrs-by who rushed in and
dragged the women into tho uir.
Mrs. Caroline Schmidt, an elderly
woman employed in the ironing room
on the top floor of tho three-story
.structure, was the last person lo
come out and she wus dazed when
assisted to tho sidewalk. She hail
abandoned hope and wus resigned to
her fate when one of the men who
had rushed in from the street grabb
ed her by the arms und dragged her
from the stairs that surrounded the
elevator shaft through which the
flumes quickly spread over the entire
structure.
In lesn than nn hour the interior
had been devoured, but it is believed
that the brick walls wore little dam
aged and that they can be utilized
in rebuilding.

Tho session of tho grand jury has
just been finished and that body has
adjourned to meet again on Novem
ber 28 next. Besides several indict
ments, that body also brought in tho
following repert: "Wo have visited
the county jnil and find the same Ic
be as neatly kept and the prisoners
as well treated as tho conditions will
permit. We have also visited tho
jail of tho oily of Klamath Falls
and find the sumo conditions there.
Wo realize there is a sentiment
throughout the county that n thor
ough investigation of the hooks of
tho county officers should ho made,
nnd wo would recommend such an
investigation, not because wo holieve
that nny irregularities oxist, hut be
cause we think that good business
judgment demands such action."

trlcal Storm Travels 100 Miles In
Less Than Two Hours.
MEZIERES, France, Aug. 11.
Racing an electrical storm, wIiom
lightning flashed out after his frail
aeroplane, Lu Hlntic, loader in tho
4S8-milo cross-country flight for a
$17,000 prize, today completed tho
third leg of his perilous journey
from Nancy to Mcxieros, a distance
of 100 miles. Ho mado the remark
ahlo time of 1 hour and 55 minutes.
None of his six competitors equaled
this.
Hearing the -tneonto of his motor
above tho mar of the onrifhiug
storm, the entire populace of Mczi
eros turned into the streets to greet
Le Hlaue. Wildly careoatng iu tho
gale, tho stays of tho planes taut
with the strain, the aviator swooped
to earth. A thunder of applause
went up nnd ho was seized by the
throng nnd carried high on their
shoulders through the madly cheer
ing crowd. More than 50,000 per
sons followed the racer to Ins ho
tel.
Le Blanc told the story of his
breathless flight to tho United Prc-s
correspondent. He said:
"My troubles were many. I had
no more than ascended when I en
countered u heavy fog. Rising, I
sought to break through this. In
stead, I rnn headlong into a gale
that swept my map front its fasten
ings and twisted my machine dan
gerously. That was one of the
hardest struggle- I have ever experi
enced to keep my craft upright.
"Battered by the wind, I was fore
cd to circle to avoid disaster. Mv
distance wns thus increased, but I
oened the throttle of the engine and
kept on ut terrific speed.
"After reaching Toul from Nancy
I should have headed st might for
Mezicres, but my map was gone and
the clouds obscured the earth except
for occasional slimpscs. I could see

THE ADVANTAGES OF BUYING OF EILERS MUSIC HOUSE
We will sell nothing that we know is not right. When wo sell to you it is with the knowledge and belief that, if
we satisfy you, you will influence your friends to deal with us.
We have utilized every modern economy in order that we might give better valuo and better satisfaction to our
patrons. Buying and shipping in tremendous quantities; factory inspection of pianos by our oxpert representa
tives; a binding guarantee with every piano sold; a corps of expert tuners and regulators all these have contrib
uted toward making the big following we now have and making our business what it is.
As the piano purchaser knows the advantages in" buying from the Eilers Music House, so tho manufacturer
realizes the advantage in selling through Eilers Stores. No three piano stores in any large city combined can offer
the piano purchaser more variety in pianos thAn we do.
From America's oldest and supreme the grand old Chickering to the genuine Autopiano the latest creation
there is scarcely a name, well and favorably known to tho piano trade, that does not find representation in the
Eilers Stores. The Kimball, tho Lester, the Smith & Barnes, the Icland, tho ITa'elton, the Decker, tho Schumann,
the Hobart M. Cable, the Hallet & Davis, tho Marshall & Wendell, the Story & Clark all these and many othors
are significant of piano excellence.
Mr. Piano Buyer: you have only a few days more in which to select your piano. At tho present rate at which
our pianos are going, wo will be sold out in a few days. From the stock of over thirty-five instruments which we
placed on sale about a week ago only a few remain. Our surprise lays not in tho fact that Medford homes now
contain over twenty-five of these instruments, but that Medford did not take them all in one day. Wo have a good
selection to choose from, but be sure and come tomorrow. Don't forgot tho place Weeks & McOowan's .fur
niture Store.
