An unusunl story of hard luck Is
the experience of Mrs.' J. S. McKon
zle, who for tho pnst year lias had a
stall In the public market. Her hus
band is an Invalid and unable to
labor, and It liar fallen to Mrs. Mc
Kenzle and her daughter to do the
work.
"We came here In November,
1913," states Mrs. McKonzle, "and
had $1500 In cash and our livestock.
Wo rented tho old Sollss place on
Orlffln cieok from Win. Schebel,
nRweliiK to pay him, upon represen
tations made to us of tho placo's pro
ductiveness, $1000 rental. Wo wero
told that 200 of the 240 acres wero
tillable, with not 10 acres waste on
the farm, that there were 12 acres In
alfalfa that novcr failed to cut five
tonH to the acre and that the creek
was a running stream throughout
the year from which wo could Irrl
Kato. We paid $200 cash and Rave
a mortgage for $800 on tho live
ntoek. We spent tho balnnco of the
? 1 Ti n 0 In purchasing seed nnd sow
ing the place.
"We are practical farmers and un
derstand arming, though on account
of the difference In climatic condi
tions between Iown and tho Itoguc
river valley, wo mado mistakes
through following the advlco of tho
owner of tho place. For Instance,
wo planted some grain In April (too
late we know now), and lost It all.
"After wo got on tho place, wo
found that there was only five acres
in alfalfa Instead of 12, that there
wbh -10 acres waste land, and only 0T
nrrcH sultablo for grain, and tho sea
son too dry to produce n crop. Wo
realized, from our investment of
Jh'OO nnd labor, only $37 from al
falfa and $10 from pears. Our
money was gono and our landlord
foreclosed on his mortgage taking
our stock. I paid Mulkey nnd Cherry
$fi0 to bring suit for misrepresenta
tion on the part of Mr. Schobcl, but
the cam? was lost.
"To prevent our being slipped of
everything our kind-hearted neigh
bors rairi'.l JI.C which was paid Mr.
School, who loin-til my daughter's
pony, n cow and colt. 1 have rented
Xlve acres near town and am running
n truck garden, sellng my products
at the public market nnd trying to
make a living. I want to publicly
thank our Orlffln creek neighbors for
their unselfish help. All we ask Is a
square deal nnd n chance to mnko a
living."

TOUR DEATH VALLEY
the findings of nu immense body of
C ore in tlio heart of Death valley, Cali
fornia, O. K. Parker, n well-known
engineer of Los Angeles, with n rmrtv
of nssihtnnts, has just left that city
to tour through Death valley li.v mo
tor ear.
According to the statements of
Fovornl prospectors, recently letiimcd
from Death valley, large (piautitics of
molybdenite, nn ore very lit tin known
in metallurgy, luive been discovered
in that section. Molybdenite, Itv a
new process of refining, can be in
corporated in steel to make the liiltcr
infinitely stronger and lighter Hum
any metal hereloforer discovered by
i jiietulliirgisls. With the prenenl trend
toward lightness in the construction
of motor cars, the new ore would bo
of inestimnblo value to tho automobile
industry, nnd the Los Angeles engin
eers will investigate the region thor
oughly before returning.
A Dodge llros.' touring car will
mnke the trip into the vnllcv, nnd it
is expected that (lie car will be sub
jected to n terrific test in the desert
regions. JJnterin? Death valley, the
motorics will encounter every o.x
tiemo of weather nnd rond conditions
. ranging from the olimb of si moun-
tnin ranges nvemginw over n mile
high, to the bottom of the valley,
which is H00 feet below sen level.

State Highway Knglncer Cantlne Is
spending the day Inspecting tho Sis
kiyou division of the Pacific highway
With delegations' 'from Medford and
Ashland, he wilt endeavor to reach
a solution of the Hillings grade cross
ings. Mr. Cantlne expressed hluisolf as
verj much opposed to the proposed
route from Central Point to Tolo
adopted by Commissioners I.eevcr
anil Madden, on account, not only of
the greater length of road, the two
needless railroad grado crossings, tho
open ditch of Jacuson creek, but on
accottut of the expensive chnracter of
the construction. He Intends to sub
mit the whole matter to tho stain
highway advisory board on .Inly 12
when the visit the valley.
Mr, Cantlne stated that ho was
confident that when Messis. I.eevcr
and Madden thoroughly understand
the difficulties Involved In tho high
way construction, they will co-operate
with the highway engineer In
eliminating crossings. Ho told Mr.
l.eover that he would havo to get
Home of his friends killed at a crow
ing to realize the dangers to traffic.
"I am greatly surprised," said Mr.
Cantlne, "Mint the commissioners of
Jackson county nro not ready and
anxious to follow tho state engineers
advice, as to crossings, as Iiiih been
dono elsewhere. Tho commissioners
in Douglas and Lane nnd other coun
ties were only too anxious to elimi
nate crossings ami nine crossings In
Douglas county are to bo eliminated "
Mr, Cantlne stated that It would
depend upon the decision of tho stnto
highway advisory board as to wheth
er the state refused co-operation on
