Medford, Or., Sept., 21. Min ers from c-ne end of the coast to the other are preparing to come here lato next month when the power dam at Copco will be fin ished and the. Klamath river will be drained from llornbrook, Cal., to the sea. One hundred million dollars in gold has been taken from the Klamath river by dredging, but. miners say Ill's . sum is only a fraction of the amount of gold left in the stream. With the bed practically dry miners expect to reap a golden harvest. ; ; !: : it: !

Jf we hail bought them direct we would have had to buy from twenty five dif ferent manufacturers, one part from eacr.Jiolfs, washers, pipes, nickel plates and so on " We made one company the assembl ing agent, the middle man and the gov ernment allowed them five per cent on the cost. Anybody approaching this subject intelligently will know that the middle man there was necessary and that he earned his profit. Generally sprinting, nowever, we nave dealt nth all manufacturers direct. "To give some idea of the enormit,, of the task," Major Starrett said, "wo spent lf)U,0K,000 in three months.

Hamilton) (United Press Staff tjorreRpondent) New York, Sept. 21. The White Sox and Bed Sox are now going to start to have it all out. The Eed Sox prob ably will see the end of their pennant hopes in the series that begins today in Boston and ends Monday. Three games are scheduled. Clarence Howland's men probably will have to face Dutch Leonard today, for with Babe Hulh eliminated, by pitching yesterday, Leonard becomes the logical choice. . ' ' By dropping one game to the Tigers the hope of the Red Sox became very feeble. They now can play only 12 gaim s of their schedule. By winning all of them they could finish with a per centage of .031. Two more victories by the flag. out a brilliant but small advance of his Russian troops toward Biga. No Capital Punishment. With Korniloff a prisoner, Kerensky now faces a trying question of what to do with him. The premier is either unwilling or unable to subject the for mer commander in chief to the death penalty. Apparently capital punishment in the whole army has been abolished. Premier Kerensky finds it impossible further to carry out his policy of iron handed discipline in the army. Capital punishment bus again been put in the hands of the soldiers' committee and that means its total abolition. Kerensky 's bravery and idealism in the face of ur paralleled criticism, slan der and attacks on his life, is unques tioned. But this surrender of conces sions to the bolsheviki the fanatical extremist group who at any time may start an armed demonstration in favor of peace is injuring the progress of the war. road surface.

The school indus trial fair held here W ednesday was not largely attended, but the exhibits were good, though fey in number. Dur ing the day 30o or 400 people visited the building. Considering the unfavor able season, the pupils made a very creditable showing. Other fairs of the same nature were held at Butteville, Donald and St. Paul. Ot the four school districts in the fair district the Merid ian school showed the most interest and made the best exhibits. Aferican Flag Flies Above Crater Lake Medford, Or., Sept. 21. Clyde F. Thomas, a San Francisco athlete, last Sunday morning, while on a visit to Crater lake, climbed t the highest pin nacle on 'Phantom ShTp," the highest promontory in the lake, 270 feet above the water, and fastened a large Ameri can flag to the pinnacle. The feat was accomplished nnint great danger.

THE OREGON NEW SHIPMENT FALL HATS 1 - " i " ' ', particular period, Bernstorff was tell ing the press that he would do all in his power to prevent war between Ger many and the I'nited States. And he continued to say even after the brenk that he would use his in' fluence upon reiichlng Berlin to avoid actual hostilities. Ho was known to send messages to his government at that time endeavoring to straighten out the tang led relations of the two countries. Bernstorff, while professing to feel kindly toward America, wished to avoid war simply for the reuson that Ameri can strength would turn the balance against lierninny authorities say. The link between tiermnny and the Irish Americans hns been known rath er dearly to this government for some time, and the Sir Boger Casement affair showed rather cpnclnsively that Ger many was seeking Irish-American sym pathizers or trying to create trouble for England and home rule for Ireland. Congress May Clean House. Tho stato department did not an nounce the name of the organization which was to handle the $."0,000 though probably investigation has given the Oevernment n line on its identity. Just how the message came into the American government's possession is kept a secret, as in the case with all documents pioving Germany ' guilt. The systematic relation of Teuton in trigue on this continent and elsewhere is deemed likely to have tho effects of not only stirring up the Vnited States to its danger, but also further convinc ing the Gcriunu peoplo that their gov ernment is a sinister thing. The stato department indicnted that it is convincid of. the identity of the organization Bernstorff referred to, though there is sufficient doubt to pre vent announcement. The department tended to dissipate the idea of nny actual expenditure of money on congressmen direct. It was admitted that propaganda telegrams sent to congress had their origin in Ger man money. Bernstorff may have cnt his mes sage with til. aid of some neutral dip lomat. Though it apparently reached Berlin, it was probably intercepted and decoded. Bernstorff Knew It. Women! Here Is A Dandy Thing Few drop on corn or callus stop pain, then they lift off. Your high heels have put corns on your toes and calluses on the bottom of your feet, but why care nowf This tiny bottle holds an almost magic fluid. A genius in Cincinnati dis covered this ether com pound and named it free zone. Small bottles of freezone can be had at any drug store for a few cents. Don't limp or twist your faco in agony and spoil your beauty, but get a little bottle of freezone and apply n few drops on your tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly the soreness disappears and shortly you will find the com or callus so shriveled and loose that you can lift it off with the fingers. Just think! You get rid of a hard corn, soft corn or a corn between the toes as well as hardened cal luses, without suffering one particle Millions of women keep a tiny bottle on tho dresser and never let corns ache twice. J Langford Could Not Win. New York, Sept. 21. San Langford, veteran negro heavyweight, gave fur ther proof that he is through when he lost in a ten round bout to Harry Wills, another negro heavyweight. Langford lost the popular decision. Charley White fought a ten round draw with Johnny Tillman, Minneapolis, lightweight, after he had knocked Till man down twice. Johnny Dundee was nwarded the pop ular decision over Joe Mooney after a ten round mill. Gunboat To Meet Dempsey. San Francisco, Sept. 21.
