This, section of tho state has never
had representation at tho national

that need closer attention at head

BREACH OF PROMISE
SUIT FOR FIGHTER
CHICAGO, II!., Nov. 18. "Busi
ness before pleasure," snid Packy
McFnrlaiid as he sped westward from
Chicago for San Francisco to begin
training for his Thanksgiving fight
with "Harlem Tommy" Hurplij'i leav
ing behind him a $30,0000 breach of
proraihe suit.
United Stales Commissioner Canon
was the hiiMet man in Medford yes
terday. Testimony was taken in the
homestead contest case of Ira O.
Johnson, invohing laud in t-cction 10,
township 3S .-outli of range 3 cast.
Besides acting as presiding officer
and referee in the above contest cne,
he took testimony in four final home
stead eases. '
Martin L. Spencer made final
proof on land in sections 14 and 15,
township 34 south of range 2 east.
Jesse T. Siieitcer also made final
proof on laud in sections 13 and 1 1,
in township 34 south of range 2 cnt.
The laud involved is located in that
famous insurgent tract north of
Iiutte Fnlls, over the possession "o?
which there Iins boon so much con
tention during the past six or bcven
years. IJoth tho Spencers who have
made proofs were actual residents
upon the laud in question prior to
the creation of the forest reserve,
which now embraces ajl of the unsur
veyed land, nnd they hnvc been ac
tual residents upon the land from;
that time until now. The residence
of some others who attempted to ac
quire land in this township was not
so "actual" and they lost' out.
Walter V. Yocum nlso made proof
before Mr. Canon yesterday on land
in section 30, township 3S south,
range 'jAve-t; also William V. Owen,
on laud in section S, in township 38
south of range 4 west.
The government lias contested the
right of George A. Stnnnnrd to make
a home-toad entry on land in section
0, towiishin 38 south of range 5 east.
This was uusurveyed land at the
time of Mr. Standard's settlement
and is Ko now included in the Cra
ter lake forest reserve. The allega
tion is made that Stnuuard did not
establish and is not maintaining his
residence upon the land. Testimony
is being taken in thi caso before
Commissioner Cniioii today.

Meno llarkdull, who recently wont
Into tho poultry business, sayti that
ho has found n way to nmko hens
talk, and It isn't by crossing thorn
with parrots, either. Ilnrkdull has
been experimenting for some time
and his neighbors testify that while
Ills fowls do not exactly talk they
mako nn nwful nnd unwarranted
racket unllko any of tho houiuIh
which hnvo heretofore been omitted
from a chicken's throat. Meno
brought several of his talking hens
Into town today and gave an exhibi
tion In front of, tho postotflco.
Before tho hvnn would perform ho
gave each a tablespoontul of brown
powdor. Almost Immediately tho
birds commenced to emit discordant
sounds, some or which sounded llko
Kugllsh words. Moso, when asked,
said tho powdor which ho gives tho
fowls Is mndo from granulated phono
graph cylinders and discs. Ho says
that when tho phonograph rocords,
(h their pulverized state, got into tho
hens' systems thoy can't help but do
something. Ho calls It talking.
This afternoon ho gavo ono hen a
mlxturo taken from tho record of
"Tho Havings of John McCullough"
mixed with a pinch of "All Coons
Look Allko to Mo." Tho effect was
marvelous. It killed tho hen.
