(JP) When Mercer and Fraser, contrac tors building the' Rogue river bridge on the Roosevelt coast highway In Curry county, blasted a promotory at Wedderburn, they demolished a spot once the rest ing place of R. D. Hume, "King of Rogue river." Mr. Hume built one of the larg est fish canneries on the Pncific coast at Wedderburn more than 30 years ago. "Bury me on the highest, narrowest promotory over looking the Rogue river," were his last words before he died, about 20 years ago. He was buried as he wished It, but later the body was removed to Piedmont, California. This week this spot, once the grave of Mr. Hump, una blown up in a terrific blawt as a part of the building program, of the highway down the coast, a section Mr. Hume first brought into promi nence through his canneries. BAKI'R, Nov. 29. (tV) Despite the so-called depression, approxi mately $i!70.000, or about Rti per cent of the entire tax roll for 1029 has been paid to the county tax department here. Payment of back taxes, penalties and interest has brought tho total collected this year to more than $7-10,000. It Is estimated by county au thorities that an amount of money enual to the entire li2ft tax roll will be collected by the first of the year.

NKW YORK, Nov. 22. A city without taxes which makes a profit on the services it performs for Its citizens is visualized by Roger W. Hat (son In an arilcle in the- current issue of the National Municipal Review. The evil of taxation, .Mr. Han son write, in "persistently and in crenninnly sapping our economic strength." The taxless city, he In sists, in Hie only possible remedy for , a situation steadily becoming more impossible." I The parking meter nt the curb stone is anionic other sources of additional revenue for cities that the writer suggests. ' "There are great possibilities in metered p.u king, not only for i bringing order out of a chaotic situation hut also for giving the city wtiich adopts this progressive policy a source of great revenue. Thousands of motorists would wel come the opportunity of parking their cars at the curb In a safe and systematic manner. They would willingly deposit 2 5 cents in the curb meter for the privilege of parking, just as they drop a quarter in the gas meter In pay ment for lighting.

"The police would be relieved of the needless labor of timing and tagging. They would have com plete control of conditions simply by noting: First,. any parked cars above which a red light failed to sl;o w as t h esc ca rs wo u Id be purked without the Insertion of the plug In the meter; second, any plugs left In the meters without f the presence of cars as these would belong to registered owners who had driven away without de positing the required coin. The whole plan would be a boon to self respecting motorists, a bless ing to the harassed police and a source of substantial Income to tho city. "Those who have studied tho subject from tho technical view point report that a city can de velop an important source of in come In tho disposal of garbage, sewage, trash and ashes."

They had not iced and remarked about a column of smoke that rose Just over the j east divide in the direction of the Wagner home, but that seemed to cause no particular apprehension. ! Yet Mi. Harris hail mentioned tho absence of Mr. Wagner who. two 1 days before, had started to the Sailor diggings t Waldo ) wit h a ' Boston temperance lecturer and he was somewhat perplexed at the IsiKht of so much black smoke as- j cending into the air at that early ' hour. j Tho sun seemed to be a long time in waling the timbered moun tain that morning, thought Mrs. Harris, but when Its rays finally fell upon that cabin home all seemed serene and peaceful. Karly she bail planted her tubs on the puncheon stoop at tho front door where she was busily engaged with Hie family washing. The paektrnin that passed sotit hward the evening before, she told her husband, must have camped on I Louse creek and perhaps the men had started a brush fire. Mr. Har ris considered that good reasoning and It seemed to dispel an ominous feeling that lingered unbidden In his mind. Now in her 34th year, .Mrs. Harris often expressed her self as content to meet the trials and tribulations of a pioneer life and at no time had she felt more ( hopeful than on that uutumn morning. It was her custom to dross her wealth of auburn hair and secure It with a tortoise, shell comb that she had treasured for many years ( and thus sho was adorned upon i that particular morning. To add j to her matronly beauty, according to Miss Hun ley, her hair fell over i a shapely head In natural waves , and It requires no stretch of Ima gination to appreciate the fact that j she was to her family a queen In a cabin home. Neither is It diffi cult to appreciate how an I ml inn In quest of scalps would look upon that scene. Sofia, then In her eleventh year, was engaged Inside the one , room dwelling which contained the family furniture and utensils. (eTr"thff "north -wMNrBrHttif''tlnifc , nine, w ii ure in me n use nee oi u. 1 Move nil the cooking was done. ! There the mother hnd heated tho I wash water by the uso of a crane, but when she poured the water j Into the tub she found It necessary to use all the cold water in the house to cool It beforo sho could : rub her clothing. She could got (another bucket of cold water, she thought, from tho well when more convenient. I David, then In his ninth year, had been given a pail and sent tn the garden, an eighth of a mile away, for potatoes. Mr. Harris had rigged a block for splitting pun , cheon to fence his crops out In tho open north of the storage house and for an hour or more Mrs. Harris hnd heard the sound of his mallet nslt drovo a broad ax Into tho yielding blocks of yel low fir, it could not have been later than fl o'clock probably not more than 8:30. ! Suddenly the sound of the mal let ceased and an Instant later Harris reached the stoop and told his wife that there were some In dians down the trail, pointing tn the place where the road entered the timber about 75 or 100 yards j toward tho Wagner home, and i that there was going to be trouble as they had their war paint on. I Taken by surprise Mary I larrls (was rather slow to appreciate tho j gravity of the situation so her hus j band reinforced his command to I get Insifle by gently pushing her I through the open door and shleld I Ing her with his body as he fol lowed her In.

Mrs. Harris then supported him to a bed in a cor ner opposite the fireplace where a brief but tragic consultation was held. Harris told his wife that he ould be unable to defend her against the Indians whom he was confident were determined upon ' their destruction; that she must! defend herself and children to "he j , best of her ability. When he told ! her to get the rifle and use It she j protested that she had never fired : a gun in her life, much less loaded j one; that she knew nothing about ! a gun, that she simply could not, j , no, idie could not fire a gun. With an appealing look the ' wounded man told her that slu j must defend her home and cbil-1 . ilren. Those two words home and children seemed to rouse her froili a sort of lethargy that had possessed temporarily her very soul when sho realized that her peaceful homo had been trans formed Into a place of carnage. Hardly a minute had passed since they had entered the house and halted tho door before the spirit of Mrs. Harris rose to the situa tion ami she faltered not again. Taking the trusty rifle down from its hangar she held it while her husband explained hurriedly the mechanism. Sofia brought the powder horn, cap box, bullets and paper wads. These being explained1 she loaded the gun. ramming the charge home like a Veteran. Sprawled upon the bed and bleeding profusely Mr. Harris cau tioned her to keep the hnmmer down until ready to fire, and to use the sights. With that she climbed tho ladder to the nttlc above where openings In the chinking enabled her to survey the field In all directions. She saw tho Indians peering from behind trees in an effort to determine the force that might ho in tho house and then, with a deadly aim, she open ed fire. Tho smell of powder hnd ! Its effect and now she kinfw of j no such thing as fear. Thus this bravo woman, who hud been; reared in the sunshine of culture and refinement, fought her one- j mies with the courage of a glndi ntor for a period of 19 consecutive hours. At first there were only a few Indians present a scouting party that had ridden over from the .W.KtfUAjM'fttMtee to.woornoHp--Uitt premises and these remained well under cover. They appeared to be apprehensive that there was a force In the house for shots would come frpm all sides. At In tervals a warrior would expose himself in order to draw fire, und dancing about, challenge tho be sieged to shoot him. They were al ways accommodated, first from one porthole and then another.

One of these Mrs. Harris recog nized sh Mrs. Wagner's, and an other as that of her 4-year-old daughter. The Indians would wave these hideous symbols up and down nnd from side to side In a fashion designed to create a fu rious state of mind In tho whites, who they supposed had taken ref uge In the cabin. After the close of the war tho Indians were greatly chagrined to learn that they fought a lone white woman. (Continued Next Sunday) HUKKIOY, Knsland, Nov. 20.

COOS BAY WILL JUBILATE OVER Completion of Harbor Pro ject Cause of Monster Celebration Invitations Sent to Cities of State. . MARSIIFIKLD, Nov. 29. P) Cook Bay will hold its second great transportation celebration and Ju bilee In Us history next July when the entire district will mark tho completion or the $4,000,000 har bor project with a program which bids fair to make the event one of the largest waterway observances along the Pacific coast. The first move for the celebra tion was started this week when hundreds of invitations woro sent out to chamber of commerce groups throughout Oregon and to all parts of the United States to participate in this giant event. With the removal of Pigeon Point reef, inner heritor, next February, the last obstacle to full cargo shipping for this port wilt be taken care of. The completion of the Coos Bay Jetties has given Coos Bay a safe full cargo depth ut the bar throughout the year, opening to world shipping one of the. Pacific coast's six major sea port projects. The lurgest celebration held on Coos bay prior to this time was, the railroad Jubilee in 1916, when the fust Southern Facific train came over the railroad bridge for the first time. The communities will take six months to arrange for the harbor celebration. DEDICATE NEW ' Old Edifice That Stood 41 Years Displaced by New and Beautiful Structure, With Seats for 500.
