TRUNKS OF
SIZED AT
RAILROAD DEPOTS
A trunk full of fine whisky, twenty-eight
quarts, which arrived In
Medfonl a week ago yesterday from
Oakland, Cal.. and which most ot the
time since has laid at the Southern
Pacific passenger depot baggage room
awaiting a claimant. Is now resting
In Sheriff Terrell's offico at Jackson
ville. Tho sheriff and Prosecutor
Roberts will willingly turn tho boote
over to the man who calls and says
he checked the trunk to Med ford.
Evidently the bootlegging owner,
who Is thought to be a resident of
this city, has been troubled with a
severe case ot cold feet since the
trunk arrived hero. The same party
also checked another trunkful of
boote from Oakland to Grants Pass
at the same time, and has failed to
call tor It. That trunk and contents
are now In possession ot Sheriff
Lewis ot Josephine county.
Warned In Advance
Before the trunks arrived at their
destinations the sheriffs ot the two
counties and the police of Grants
Pass ond Medtord knew of their com
ing and were on the lookout ready to
arrest whoever claimed either trunk.
A constant watch was kept until a
few days ago when the authorities
becoming firmly convinced that "the
beans were spilled" removed the
trunks from the depots.
This Is how the news leaked out
that the trunks were enroute and the
'bootleggers concerned were tipped
off:
How Iteans Wero Spilled
The day before Shorty Barber re
turned from Hornbrook with his his
toric suit case full of apples with
which to feed the goats of Prosecutor
Roberts and Chief of Police Timothy,
a Southern Pacific detective jumped
off a northbound train, called for
Sheriff Terrell at the depot and re
lated to him about the two trunks
coming from Oakland. Neither no
ticed that a jitney driver was near
and overheard the conversation, but
suffice it to say that soon word flew
about town in inner circles, and every
Medtord man who had a drinking or
bootlegging friend who was known
to be in San franclsco or Oakland
soon was sending a telegram to that
friend to look out.
Prosecutor Roberts and Sheriff
Terrell are now firmly convinced of
the identity of the sender of the
trunks of booze and believe that the
man who was to claim them is under
arrest In Grants Pass in the person
of W. E. Young who was arrested in
that city several days ago on an old
bootlegging charge, after he had been
in hiding at the home of a friend in
Medford since last Christmas. They
say they think Young could clear up
the trunk mysteries if he would only
talk.

WASHINGTON, Jim. 24. Thirty
stales up to noon today had certified

ONLYiSTALE FISH OIL
A few days ago Andrew Jeldness
went over in Siskiyou county to see
what the prospects were for trapping
in that section, but not finding many
indications of game, he went to Hilt
to take the train for home. He had
with him a box that he carried some
cans of stale fish oil which he uses
to bait traps with. When he started
for the train a party told him that he
thought that it would be better to
carry it in his grip, but Andrew told
him that he would take a chance with
it In the box. When he arrived in
Ashland he left tho box in the car
and went outside for a few minutes
and when he returned an officer
asked him If that box belonged to
him, and when told that it did, ord
ered him to open it. He told him
what was in it, and hesitated to open
it In the car, but the officer insisted
and. when he gave him one of the
cans to look at he decided it was not
what he was looking for and beat a
hasty retreat. He thought that some
one who saw him ge,t on the train at
Hilt, had given the officer a tip as
evidently he was waiting for the
train "to arrive.

HIGHWAY PLANS
TO DELEGATION
SAI.KM, Jan. 2S. (Spoclut Cor
respondence.) Tho members o( tho
Jackson county delegation In the leg
islature with John Cnrkln nnd Rob
ert W. Ruhl us added participants,
held n lengthy and important confor
ehro with Highway Commissioner
Booth at. tho stato bouse today In
which matters ot Interest in connec
tion with Jucksou county roads were
freely discussed.
Commissioner Booth made It plain
that ho did not speak for tho commis
sion, but expressed only his own per
sonal thoughts. Regarding tho Sis
kiyou grade and tho expressions by
soma ot the members of the delega
tion that paving Bhould bo laid rather
than macadam, Mr. Booth said "that
tho maendam work had been ordered
at a time when tha funds then avail
able wero apportioned over tho state
In an effort to-make them go as far
as possible.
' "If." Biild Mr. Booth, "tho IokIbIu-1
turn gives us $ 10. 000. 000 additional.
which figure Is tho nno most fro
intently heard about tho state bonne,
wo will of course rumuko our pinna
uuTt bo justified In urdurltiK tnaro ex
pensive, work, n Is my Judgment
that If 10,000,000 moro Is available
all ot tho Siskiyou grudo should be
paved tho full width of sixteen feet.
It was with this In view that thu com
mission deckled to leavo the rock
crusher where It Is on tho Siskiyou
mountain ruthor than move It to the
lower Columbia river. It Is expen
sive to st iirt work on tho mountain
nnd 1 shall favor a phut which shall
complete tha work there In one Job
when wo ot under way."
Mr. Booth also said that the rout
ing of the Pnclflo Highway from Cen
tral Point to Josephine county hud
not boon determined but nt an early
ditto soma ot thu members ot the
commission would louk over the nu
lla! Ion on tho ground uud Invito ex
pression from thu county, court liml
other liitervatud put ties us to the
routing.
In answer to a questUm by Hopnv
sontatlvu Hhvldun, Mr, Booth said
that In his Judgmonl tho commission
should not pnvu uowly gradod roads
until (hey hud had tit taunt two years
tlmo lo sctllo, but Hint they could luy
n vi'UHhod rock imtcudum Immediate
ly after grading, thus making tho
roads survlceablu tliruoul tho your
and thu economical plan would be
to uso thut mavndiim as long us It
sorvud tho purpose well uud satisfac

The Itching and Sting ,

There is n harrassino; discomfort

A cure from local applications of
Halves and ointments is impossible,
