Man Mourned us IH'ud Home Again Medford In May, 1906, Henry Joiips, a young farmer living In the north end of this county, suddenly disappeared, leaving a young wife and infant son.

GREAT IMREASE IN FRE1WT RATES RAILROADS ASK 10 PER CENT MORE Infamous Orchard Wants t Die Reported Attorney Darrow will Hgo Pardoa Petition. Chicago, May 5. General ad vances in freight rates in "official classification" territory. Including all the district east of the Mississippi River to the Atlantic seaboard and north from the Ohio River to the Canadian border, have been decided upon by railroads in that territory. This means Increased revenue ex ceeding $100,000,000 annually, but the movement must first stand a de termined fight by all the shippers. Many conferences have been held and the railroad presidents expect fierce opposition. They argue that the fairness of the country will not per mit them to lose $400,000,000 annu ally, and that thoy must increase rates or decrease wages. July 1 there will be an advance In all "class" rates, and August 1 all but four of the commodity rates will be boosted. The average will be 10 per cent. This will be the first ad vance in rates of this character In the history of the country, and It will disturb the rate adjustment through out the entire country, upsetting a rate basis which has existed for 17 years. This movement, it is understood, precedes similar action on the part of all railroads In the United States. In fact, the Southeastern roads al ready have decided, It Is claimed, to follow the lead of the Eastern lines. Western lints have had no voice in the plan, owing to the geographical division of territory for rate-making purpose!. ORCHARD HOPES FOR DEATH. Hays Life In Penitentiary Is Worse Than Hanging.
