T MAIL TRIBUNE DAILY CROSS-WORD PUZZLE Brought to mind by Plans for dedication of the fine new span on the Pacific highway near YreJca. Cal., August 29, as the "Pioneer bridge." an Interesting account of the first wagon trip through the Siskiyou mountains was related yes terday by Wellborn Beeson, whose grandfather, John Beeson, and fath er. Wellborn, came to the valley In 1853 by ox team, settling In the Wagner Creek district, "In 1854." said Mr. Beeson, Mthe first wheat crop of any conse quence, was raised in the valley and ground Into flour at Ashland In a mill near the great oak tree which still stands at the entrance of Llthia park. The flour was to be taken to Yreka for sale, with financing of the crop and trans portation provided by Henry Amcr man. early day capitalist. "Three heavy wagons, each drawn by six oxen, were loaded with the flour and started out In charge of Harvey Oatman (father of the late Elmer Oatman of Medford), Daniel P. Brlttan, and a Mr. Liv ingston. There being no roads through the Stsktyous, getting the lumbering vehicles over the rough country was a laborious task. It Is probable that the train followed approximately the route now known as the old toll road. "Near the summit of the moun tains the wagon train was attack ed by a small band of renegade Modocs from the Klamath coun try and Livingston was killed. Oat man, In the lead, managed to es cape with his wagon and subsequently- completed the Journey to Yreka. Brlttan escaped with hts life but his wagon and that of Livingston were burned after the Indians had emptied the flour from the sacks, the latter apparently be ing the only articles of value to the tribesmen. "Returning to the valley the teamsters reported tho attack and a force was Immediately recruited by Captain Wm. Rockefeller, one of the leading men of the Wagner creek community, to take after the marauders. Not long after they had picked up the trail the set tlers found three of the renegades dead apparently victims of another Indian band. Tho apot where the ACROSS 1. Pood tiah 4.

L'SED CAB tribesmen were found waa there after known aa 'Dead Indian." 'The whites, apparently did not succeed In catching the remainder of the marauding braves, but, be-' lievlng at the time, that the Sis kiyou mountain attack had been made by Rogue River tribesmen, they returned and Joined with others in venting some 'of their spleen upon the Rogue River In dians who had been more or less unruly about that time." The upshot of the Siskiyou af fray and the following brushes be tween the Indians and whites, ac cording to Mr. Beeson. was the Rogue River war which took place soon afterward. An ox yoke which now hangs in the American Legion hall in Ashland Is the property of Mr. Beeson and circled the neck of one of the animals driven by his grand father and father from La Salle, 111.. In their migration to tho Ore gon country. His father at that time was 17 years old and was great friend of Harvey Oatman. who came west In the same wagon train. 4 WIFE OF SECRETARY VISITS CRATER LAKE CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK, Ore. (Spl.)

E I Cable Kates Cut NEW ORLEANS, La.. Aug. 29. (UP) The All-American Cable company has announced a reduction on cables from Argentina, Bolivia. Brazil, Chile, Paraguay. Peru and Uruguay to New Orleans, thus putting the Crescent City on a parity with New York. The reduction represents a saving of 8 to 10 cents a word on full rate cable grams and a proportionate reduction on all classes of deferred cablegram service. Tho county court. In Its session Monday pored over budget estimates as submitted by the various county officers, and found that the expenses had been pruned to the line, with an estimated saving of close to 911,000. Purchase of supplies, elimination of extra help by reduction of working forces, upkeep of machinery, such as typewriters, comptometers, traveling expenses, and postage , telegraph and telegraph bill, are the main Items stashed. There has been no cut In salaries which are set by law. A voluntary ten per cent reduction was suggested, but some of tho elective officers tailed to acquiesce, and the county court refused to sanction a cut that did not include all. One expense scheduled for a drostlc reduction is the maintenance of the old courthouse at Jacksonville, now used only for public meetings, but having o light, water and fuel bill and a Janitor. The coming year according to tho estimates of the county clerk, will a heavy ' decrease In the county receipts about 30.000. Expense exits to date are about half that sum. The decrease is attributed to the reduc tion in the O-O tax refunds, tardi ness of taxpayers occasioned by tak ing advantage of the eight per ceni Interest penalty for delinquent tax payers and the economic stress. The county court expects to name a budget committee before the first of the month to act with mom in formulating the 1933 budget. They will start their work a month earlier than usual because of the need of retrenchment. Akron Will Crowd Smaller Airships LAKEHVRST, N. J.

Freeman pleaded not guilty in Judge Taylor's court Monday to ob taining goods under fake pretenses from the Pennington Battory com pany by uwulng a check on a local bank for 2 In payment, when the money was not in the bank to pay the chock. It seems that Freeman, who has his headquarters as nalesmau in a tout at Prospect, taking orders for men's clothing among the Copco and other workers, has a number of other checks out among other business con cerns, amounting in all to about 1180, either .post-dated or marked to bo held until such time aa there may be money In the bank to meet them. This was done some time ago. Both Freeman and his attorney. Frank DeSoiuia. related In court that Freeman had explained to each man where he passed the check that, while Uiere waa no money in his ac count then, he expected money in a lew days and that the checks should be hold until the money arrived. They said each person accepted the check under those conditions. In the meantime alnce hts arrest on the Pennington ohsrge relatives have sent sufficient money to the sheriff to pay off all the chocks, and Attorney DcSouaa stated in court that he would personally see that all were paid. Under these circumstances the de fense request that the trial bo con tinued for 16 days waa granted by the court and Freeman wos released on his own recognizance.
