"i.'jimr i;i,.i,n l hi ..l . i Senator Fultou on his returu home i,rrUi,m.,iM,m,ir.nr,.i if Judge F.ater is hero then," said Prosecuting Attorney Mackintosh to day. Tho women will elect to be tried separately, and w ilFplead not guilty. "I beliovo tho religion is dead for ever.," said Mrs. Crellleld. "Wo had inteuded to continue our faith here, but it would have been a revised faith, and oncagaiust which there could not have been a breath of suspicion. What we did in Oregon wo thought right at tho time. We have found further light since, and view our practices threo years ago as wrong. It is not for the public to know what tho inner workings of our religion were. 'Holy Rollerism' is not spread ing and there id little danger of it doing so." Oregonian. No Mail Monday Night,. From somo cause, unknown to the stage driver, tho brass lock mail sack failed to arrive from the south Mon day evening. From what we learned from a very reliable gentleman who came up on tho stage a few days ago, it is not strange that this mail sack ' failed to get here, or any other mail sack for that matter. lie said the mail sackd were thrown, olf tho stage on tho porch iu front of tho Alturas post olllce at 3 o'clock iu tho night and left lie there till morning. Tho fact that "Alturas has a night watch man and electrio lights" makes this method "perfectly safe." i sunke and punning telergHph pol.-s ho furl 1 hut t hey looked like a picket fence.

CLANCARTY. from Washington recoutly, in an iu terview intimated that Oregon was denied the recognition 6he deserved iu the way of national irrigation pro jects and in all other matters which come before the Department of the Interior, because of the intense prejudice against tho state arising from tho Secretary's antipathy to Congressman Hermann, and other officials of the state. Senator Fulton declarod, moreover, iu the interview that Secratery Hitchcock is iu his aotage. This seems likely to bring on an open rupture between the Senator and Socretary. Poople who have watched the course of events are not slow to beliovo that there id truth in the intimation of the Souator. The Washington correspondent of the i "Oregonian," who usually keeps iu close touch with Socretary Hitchcock says iu tho last Sunday issue of that paper : "Opeu war has been declarod be tween Secretary Hitchcock, and Sen ator Fultou as tho result of the Sen ator's recent published declaration that tho Secretary is "iu hid dotage." Mr. Hitchcock is determined to get revenge and ho hopes to bo able, with tho aid of hid corps of special agents and secret service men, Jo unearth something iu Mr. Fulton's record as Senator that w ill justify adding his name to Oregon's dishonor roll. The Secretary, in short, intends, if pos sible, to but Mr. Fultou through tho paces that carried the lata Senator Mitchell to his grave. i -si - ' - 'mm.ti, OF Mr. Fulton's Portland interview was wiit to Mr. Hitchcock in New IfarripHhire, where he is Hpending hi vacation. According to reliable authority, the Secretary went into a rage when he read it and next day went to S hmIh ngton for his private secretary, who promptly left for New Knglnad. Secret Service Agent W. J. Burn , who worked up most of the evidence uumiixt Mitcholl, Hermann and other, was in Washington at the time, but he, too, suddenly left two days ngo, and it i Imlieved that he also went to eo Mr. Hitchcock. The plan of campaign againxt Mr. Fulton, according to reliable author ity, contemplates a scathing scrutiny of his record, both here and in Ore gon, tho Secretary believing that somewhere evidence can be found which will prove damaging to tbe Senator and which may justify Lis indi-tmeut luter on. However, Mr. Futlon's record was gone over with a flne-tooth comb at the time Mitchell, Hermann and Williamson were under investigation but nothing was- then found which would justify action in the courts. The ill feeling between Mr. Fulton and Mr. Hitchock is not newly devel oped. The two men have entertained the utmost contempt for each other for two y ars or more. So strained did relations between them become that Mr. Fulton did not once call on the Secretary during the past session of Conrge. In this respect he is on the same footing with quite a number of other Western senators whose en tire business with the Interior Depart ment is conducted by correspondence or by telephone. That Mr. Hitchcock has long desired to secure Mr. Ful ton's indictment is no secret. His private secretary at one time said: "We'll land that man Fulton behind the bars yet, " but nothing came of his threat and it w as believed that the Secretary had given up his quest. Mr. Fulton's declaration that "Hitchcock is in his dotage," should not have surprised the Sceretaiy, but the publication of the statement and its circulation through the press of tl'-e country did arouse him, and he is determine than ever to square himself for the "insult" as he describes it During the past year Mr. Hitchcock nas placed obstacles in .Mr. Fulton s i path. Whenever Mr. Fulton recom mended any one for olllce Mr. Hitch cock, through his numerous represen tatives and correspondents in Oregon, found objections to tho man and al most without fail Mr. Hitchcock either laid these charges before the President or saw that they reached the White House. This did not apply to postouice recommendations, however. Only recently Mr. Hitchcock became satisfied that Mr. Fulton was prevent ing tho confirmation of District At torney Bristol. He went personally to several senators and urged them to have Mr. Bii.-tol confirmed, but in this instance his influence counted for naught. In other ways Mr. Hitchcock and Mr. Fulton have worked at cross pur-, posus. For instaace, Mr. Fulton ask ed that permission be granted Uma tilla sheepmen to drive their sheep across the Umatilla Indian reserva tion. Mr. Hitchcock refused, so Mr. Fulton secured authority in the In dian appropriation bill over Mr. Hitchcock's protest. Later on Mr. Fulton asked that the allotment for the Umatilla irriagtion project be in creased by $100,000. His request was never acted upon. This condition has prevailed for the past two years, but higher tension has existed during the past session than ever before. It was to be expect ed, under those circumstances, that the Secretary would seek revenge on Mr. Fulton for his recent interview. Ashland Tidings. Dr. W.K. Boyd and Dr. E. II. Smith with their families, went out to Littlo Chewaucan for a ten day's outing last Saturday. They went pretty well up the creek so as to be right iu where the bear are the thick est. Tho men are both bear fighters of considerable notoriety, however. moan fate has ever kept, them from close contact with any wild animals moro vicious than a jackrabbit, but they have studied up on tho bear question till practical experience is all they need to develop their renown. They will have the hides tanned and made into robes and rugs. A taxider mist will be employed and a few of the larger bears w ill be skinned and their hides stulfed. None of the smaller bear will be molested. They have tak en orders for quite a lot of bear meat, and expect to "jerk" a lot. ARTESIAN WELL FEET DEEP, Experiment by Ashland Farmer a Success. E10W 480 GALLONS PER MINUTE Other Farmers and CItie Will Try the Plan for Irrigation and File Purpose. A most successful experiment for boring for artesian water is reported from Ashland which offers consider able encouragement to dry land farm ers in the liogue River valley. A Mr. Pellett contracted for the sinking of an 800 foot well on his farm a few miles from Ashland. Several small veins were struck at various depths, but not sufficient flow to satisfy tbe owner of the land. Within five feet of the 800 foot depth a strong flow was struck. A geologist who went to examine the well gives the following account of it to the Medford MaiL "I visited the Pellett orchard last Sunday.and while I expected to find a flowing well, I was surprised at the volume of water coming therefrom. The ten-inch hole is 800 feet deep and from it flows a stream which 1 estim ated as closely as possible to equal forty miner's inches, or about 480 gallons a minute over twice the ca pacity of the Medford water system when working on full time, and this well works twenty-four hours a day. The water is carried in a ditch thirty inches wide the water being about four inhces deep and moving at the rate of two feet a second. The water is scft, pure and clear, and its tem perature about 60 degrees. ' The result of Mr. PeUett's experi ment is likely t' st,-t a ,?rnsada of w-li borfug. JtlAny of the valley town ' will adopt this method for supplying tuo waier Ior own waier systems, ore ' . i. r . . . purposes and irrigation. It is estim ated that ?3,000 will sink a large well 800 feet, and if such is the case and an equal flow of water could be secur ed, which is sufficient to irrigate most any ranch it would pay any farmer to have an artesian well. The question of water for irriagtion purposes has ever been one of perplex ing solution in this county, and might be settled by experiments in ar tesian wells not the two or three hundred foot wells, but one that would reach into the bowels of the earth and tap some of the subteranian lakes that are supposed to exist under the sur face. Go down 1000 or 2000 feet deep. Vain Hope for Relief. Considerable complaint comes from the north end of the county that Crook county sheep are invading the Lake county range and sheep men of that section have sought relief through the Stock Inspector, asking that that official render them such srevice as is in his power to do. The nature of the complaint is not such that a Stock Iupsector can give the relief asked for. It is stated that Crook county sheep are coming into this county and eating off the range. The stock in- ' spector is as powerless to ielieve the situatiou as the School Superinten dent. If the sheep were passed into Lake county by the Crook county Stock Inspector as clean of scab, then so long as the sheep remain free from scab the Stock Inspector of this ' county has no authority to remove the sheep or quarantine them, and if tho sheep are scabby tbe Crook coun ty official had no right to pass them over the line and all our Inspector could do would be to quarantine the sheep and force the owners to dip them. We believe there is no law au thorizing a county Stock Inspector to remove one man's sheep from an other man's range. Miss Nettie A. Snyder, teacher of Class No. 3, of the Methodist Episco pal Sunday School entertained her class at the parsonage on Friday even ing, July 20. From 7 to 9 the young folks enjoyed themselves by games. After ice cream and cake were served the class wended their way home well pleased with the evening's entertain ment. This will likely be the last meeting of the ciasa as Miss Snyder expects to loave Lakeview in Sept,
