High Promontory, Where
Stood Grave of 'King of
the Rogue' Blasted Away,
to Make Way for Coast
Highway.
MARSHFIELD, Nov. 2ft. (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.

A TAXLESS
CITY SEEN
Metered Parking Advanced
As New Source of Reve

Traffic Normalcy City
Manager Plan Praised.
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.

left behind his car.
If the motorist upon drawing
up at tho curb falls tn Insert his
plug In the meter the accidental
or Intentional oversight would be
j promptly disclosed to the police
bccaviso there would fail to appear
above the meter the red light
which shows that a car Is parked
legatly.
"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

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

Mary Ann Young of Tennessee
(II y .Ml Irs
M'outiuucd frnm I.tist Sunday)
In complete ignorance of the ;
series of crimes already commlt-
1 ted by the Indians and without
the slightest intimation of their
Impending danger, the family had
arisen early thai bright anil prom
ising morning and set about the
duties of the day. 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.

! There the mother hnd heated tho

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

position to secure ii he said to his
wife that he believed be was mor
tally wounded. 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.

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

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.
