Solid Silverware Would
Have Eased Last Days
DENVER. March 36. (AP) The
glorious past of the Tabors, hidden
away more than a quarter of a cen
. tury 8ro by the glamorous one-time
mlstrew of millions, Baby Doe. was
uncovered In 17 iron trunks today.
There, where she had hidden them
after the Tabor luck turned, were
her 47000 white satin wedding drss.
Senator H. A. Tabor's handsomely
engraved cavalry sword which he
were when he was a general of the
Colorado National Guard nd the
senator's sliver shaving mug as well
as a small treasure In solid silver
ware. Declined to Sell.
Beset with misfortune and har
rassed by financial worries, the once
beautiful Baby Doe who spent her
last days In a hovel, declined to
part with her mementos although
they would have brought sufficient
funds to ease her declining years.
Mixed with the silver and gold
trinkets were baby clothes, worn by
the golden-haired Tabor heiress. Sil
ver Dollar Tabor, who died In a Chi
cago fire 10 years ago.
Edgar McMechen, member of the
state historical society who was ap
pointed administrator of the Tabor
estate, opened the boxes today. It
was the first time the locks had
been turned since Baby Doe hid the
trunks in a warehouse 25 years ago.
Last of Huge Fortune.
They contained all that remained
y of the vast fortune that Tabor built
up on a 17 grubstake and lost tn
the 1803 panic. When Baby Doe was
found In her shack at Leadvllle
she had only two $1 bills In her
purse.
The sliver she had stored In Den
ver was worth several thousand dol
lars, McMechen estimated.

RAZING OF DEPOT
TALENT, March S6. (Spl.) It l
with a sigh of regret resldenta ot
Talent view the razing of the 8. P.
depot, which has long been a land
mark here.
Old timers recall the day 37 years
bro when It was moved here on flat
cars from Medrord. Great crowds
gathered to witness the arrival of the
string of "flats" bearing a depot for
Talent.
Although It has been some time
since the depot has been used as
a shipping or ticket office. It made
a good place to loaf In the sunshine
or for small boys to play marbles.
It has been sold to D. O. New-
land of Medford, who has purchased
other 8. P. buildings In Talent and
Is salvaging the lumber and hauling
It away.

Mining Executive
Is Found Frozen
MONTREAL. March 26. (AP) The
body of Stanley E. Slacoe, wealthy
Montreal mining executive, was found
frozen two miles irom Lake Matchl
manltou. Que., today, according to
word received here. He had been miss
ing for a week.
Few details of the discovery were
available, except that the body was
reported found in the snow a short
distance from where atscoe's pilot.

yesterday.
ASHLAND. March 36. (Spl.)
There win be considerable activity
In the Ashland area this spring, ac
cording to present Indications cen
tered mainly around new construc
tion and Improvement by the major
oil companies In Ashland.
Another definite development in
the "service station" improvement
campaign here was the receipt Mon
day morning by local contractors
of a call for bids on a 6000 Im
provement and remodeling of the
Union OH company station at Main
and First streets.
In addition to the construction
of a super-service station on tne
corner of Main and First streets, by
the Standard OH company, the As
sociated is considering a big con
struction project.
While the actual consummation
of the deal cannot be verified. It la
known that Mrs. E. D. Briggs. owner
of the large vacant lot next to Schu
erman's grocery, has signed and re
turned to the oil company a lease,
whereby the Associated Oil company
would lease this lot for 10 years,
for the purpose of constructing a
modern super-service station there
on, right alongside the station which
the Stnndard Oil company Is to build.
It la believed that the Associated
company, as well as the Standard OH
company, will within a short time be
constructing new stations In the
block between Pioneer and First on
Main street.
A third service station Improve
ment Is contemplated by the Shell
OH company, operators of the ser
vice station at Second and Main, ac
cording to authentic, but unverified
reports. It Is understood that the
Shell OH company contemplates the
leasing of a portion of the resi
dential lot next to its service sta
tlon so as to increase the front and
side footage, which will greatly im
prove the station and rpsult tn con
siderable work.
A fourth service station project,
which was officially announced Mon
day morning is the Improvement of
the Union OH company station a
First and Main streets, directly op
posite on First street the property
which the Standard Oil company has
purchased here.
Rumor prevailed Monday that some
major oil company was negotiating
for the purchase of the buildings
at the corner of Main and Third
streets, with the Idea of construct
ing a station thereon, although noth
ing official could be ascertained rela
tive to this.
WASHINGTON. March US. (p)
Former President Hoover was reported
today to have told a friend here that
he has "no aspirations" to he the Re
publican candidate for pres'dent In
1936.
"I have no aspirations n the di
rection you mention, but I Intend
to take a shot at what s going on
on when I think the right moments
have arrived."
The date was several weeks prior
to delivery of his message to Cali
fornia Republicans, calling for milit
ant action by hla party and assailing
"regimentation" and "bureaucracy"
under the Roosevelt adminlhtratlon.
Old-line Republicans in Mr. Hoover'
home state immediately rall'd him
after that message as the logical can
didate next year.

Speaking Sunday night at the local
(Church of the Nazarene Fred M.
Weatherford.. pastor-evangelist, used
as his topic "Christ and Christian
Living." In brief, ne said:
"The practical point essential w I
aU ethical Christian living may b-' ,
summed up in the Sennou ou the ,
Mount, a lound in the 5th, 6th ana
7th chapters of Matthew's gospel. ,
"The ideal in human living when ;
uureached may be attributed to di- j
vlded Interest, or a duplicity in the
purpose of living. Duty tn Christian
service, plus sincerity equals right
eous reward; but an eye and an ear
that signal for reward from men ib
a commentary that registers static
to spiritual profession. The moment
one's ears are open to the praise or
censure of men, they are closed to
the approval of God.
"Real Christ-likeness will enable
one to restrain an uncherlshed Im
pulse and not resign to it. In the
Christian life many start out to
fashion a martyr's crown, but the
finished product is a fools cap.
"Many fail because their eyes are
set in two directions; in the direc
tion of God, but too often and too
critically they are set on the doings
of their neighbors.
"Christ laid down the flawless
principle for Christian guidance when
he said, "Therefore all things what
soever ye would that men should
do to you, do ye even so to them;
for this la the law and the prophet.'
"The bleeding need of the church
today la back to Pentecost In spirit,
Carnality in the believer, is the
fundamental cross-grain that im
pedes the progress of the church.
Self-agrandizement, rather than es
teeming others more than oneseu,
is more the rule than the exception,
The church needs the second sanc
tifying blood test of Christ, to cru
cify carnality and bring out the
ethics of humility.
The world is brought to Christ
Just in proportion as the spirit of
Christ Is manifested in sacrifice and
service. The sacrifice one makes for
the church and mankind, proves his
devotion to Christ. The more unsel
fish one la, the more useful he be
comes to the kingdom of God."
Additional tickets for the Presby
terian birthday dinner Friday, March
29, at 6:30 p.m., have been placed
in the hands of Mrs. Edith Garrett
at the Ksrmel Krrn shop. 115 East
Main street, and Mrs. 8. A. Kroschel,
522 West 4:h street. The demand
for the tickets exhausted the first
supply given these ladle.
Mrs. George West, general chair
man for the dinner, states "owing
to the large demand for tickets for
our birthday dinner, we are expand
ing our plans so that we may take j
care of all of the congregation wish- j
Ing to come and who express their
desire by getting ticket early o me
may serve all of them properly.
Additional tables and seats are being
secured."
Plans for caring for the additional
guest were made at a meeting of the
anniversary committee following the
reception last night.
