Regardless of how much truth thero Is to these rumors, certain it Is that many Siskiyou county residents ranchers and citizens of the vari ous towns nro leasing or havo leased practically all the available land between Ager and Hilt and are planning on holding this territory until the oil boom either materializes or falls.

No authentic report ot any trace of Ford and Christ had boen received this morning, but it is believed they beaded south and persons told tho sheriff that two men answering tho description had been seen In tho country south of here. Whether they were tho fugitives or not Is open to doubt. Tho prisoners had planned tho es cape carefully and some time beforo i had sawed through the lock on tho would come when tho only other door between themselves and liberty, tho outer door of the women's apart ment, would be left unlocked, as is sometimes done when no prisoners "re, mb " us"- " ,ocked' h"'ver. but on the day be- foro tho 08ca,e the Jal1 was cleaned i ami when the cleaner left the outer door was not locked, the officers of course believing that the coll lock was Intact. This gave the prisoners tholr opportunity, and lifting the previously prepared lock on their cell from Its place they walked out wlth pilt dirrtculty. The lock-sawing Job was cleverly done. The lock Is one pf the Yale patent padlocks and tho prisoners sawed through the steel bow where It entors the lock,, covering traces of their work with chewing gum. -Then they battered the lock on the other side so tho bow would not slip un- less a hard straight tug was given. good as ever and would pass almost hy Inspection, except unlocking When 'the time came for tho get- away It required only a twist of tho wrist and the doors were open to liberty, Dr. A. A. Soule, city health officer, stated today that thero was a great need for special officers to enforco Quarantine restrictions against influenza. "Unless we can enforco tho quar antine," said the physician, "our efforts to control the situation are crippled, and instead of nipping tho epidemic in tho bud, wo aro likely to drift along until the disease spreads so far that tho state board ot health will take hold of tho situation and close up tho entlro community." It is understood that tho city ad- I-mlnlstratlon hesitates to appoint quarantine officers because ot short ago of a fund from which to pay them. Dr. Scule maintains that thero is no necessity ot resorting to cxtronio measures nnd that control ot tho situation can bo gained ns efficiently, nnd without tho community and in' dividual loss resulting from general closing, If quarantine restrictions against all cases of influenza and suspected Influenza aro rigidly en forced. Ho says, however, that without an adoquato force of inspectors tho. quarantine cannot bo maintained. Patients who aro ablo to ho about travel around and sproad1 tho dls oase. Rooms which patients havo occupied aro no fumigated before being used agaln especially; in room ing houses. There is no, qauso for serlolis alarm In tho situation so far, says the doctor, but iu order to keep'tho ofllclency of tho community from bo lug impalrod tor weeks, to como, united effort should bo mado to check the spread of tho Infection now whllo all conditions are favor able. , . today QUARANTINE NOT STOIGT ENOUGH mlssixo max's estate under court control PORTLAND, Fob. 13.

If increased pay Is granted the roada would seek to increase freight rates, HInes claimed, meaning an increased cost of living that would nullify the wage Increase, LBIG-TOURIST RUSH IN SOUTHERN CAU (Portland Oregonlan.)

"The Los Angeles streets are so crowded that It looks like a carnival period. The sidewalks are not wide enough, and -people walk in the streets. The pedestrians on the. pavement make it next to impossible to drive a machine. They climb on your radiator, on your bumper and on the ninning board. You drive a block and then wait a quarter of an. hour before you can go another block. There is talk of, not permit ting cars to be parked Inside of Figueroa street from that street into town but the merchants are protesting against such a regulation. In November and December there were 1000 tourists arriving every day, and the big rush did not start until January. People stand in line at tho restaurants to get something; to eat. The congestion Is terrific and the hotels gouge the patrons for every cent they can. Conditions are far better in San Diego and San Francisco."
