was found unconscious in shanty near
the coal bunkers on. Tuesday morning,
and who died after being placed on
the morgue slab as already corpse,
was doubtless murdered. At first 1t

blood were found. The wound on the
back Of his head indicated that he had
been hit by sand bag. When last
seen alive he had silver watch and
n small sum of money The coroner's
Jury returned verdict Of death at the
hands of some unknown person, and
the case was tonight turned over to
thepolice. Mckenzie was railroad

The salmon canneries of the Siuslaw
closed Wednesday. The season for
catching salmon in this stream does not
close until the 18th, but the run has
been so light that 1t does not pay the
fishermen or the canneries, and 1t is for
this reason that they have shut down
for the season. The run of fish was
good at the start and the canneries had
all they could do, but it did not last
long. However the run has been suf-
iicient to make salmon fishing quite an
industry there, and great deal of
money will be brought into that section
through this source.-Eugene Guard.

declared. "Deen astonished at the number of

and substantial OF our people who have had
experiences in their homes which transcend

ms gentleman Is representative of a
large class Of careful thinkers who to-day
are quietly accommodating facts upon which
to base an intelligent conclusion. and thus
are following the modern method OF seien-
tifc inquiry.
A friend of mine who is quite we'll known
In literary circles, but who is not wiling
that her name be given, related to me a
short time ago striking experience. She
requested friend in whom she had great
confidence and who possessed certain de-
gree OF psychic power, TO try and see Where
she was and what she was doing on GER
tain evening. The two individuals were
many hundred miles apart. The friend in
striving to accomplish this feat fell into a
profound trance, in which he was found by
friends, who thought him dead and had
MIN Medically treated. When he recov-
cred he wrote his friend, saying at such an
hour you were IN your room. A visitor was
announced. He was person bad never
seen, but l Will describe him to you. He
then gave detailed description of the
caller. All the facts were exactly as stated.
These are only few of many interesting
facts | might cite which have been given
me by most thoughtful people. very much
regret that great many of the most strik-
Ing cases have been related under the seal
OF confidence, and, OF course, | cannot give
them. These cases, however, illustrate,
first the important fact that thoughtful peo-
pie have entered upon this sphere of in
yestlgation IN the proper spirit, and second,
that appearances along psychical lines are
so frequent that meeting with an Intelligent
and sympathetic reception they must
necessarily result at an early date in lead
ing us into new world Of knowledge. 1t
is not for us to d0gmatiZe at present. We
are not prepared to state conclusions and
seek to bend evidence to fit our theories.
We are merely gathering evidence, knowing
full we'll that when we obtain sufficient
volume of sifted facts the explanation will
follow. But from the evidence already adj
duced repeat my conviction that we are on
the threshold Of new world OF knowledge
and surely it is the duty of all disciples of
truth to enter into an investigation, of
whose vital Importance we as yet only catch
faint glImDses.

FIELD TRIALS.
Departure of Sportsmen for the Rae
ing Grounds.

This evening large delegation Of sports
men will leave this city for Bakersfield, near
which place the field trials Of this year will
be held.
There can be no gainsaYing the fact that
a grand lot of dogs which will include point
ers and settlers will be represented on the
field. It is hoped game will be found plenti-
full and that the birds will not resort to
their favorite scheme of footracng when

were originally gotten I'D by breeders and
trainers of dogs purposely to encourage
buyers Of hunting stock 10 purchase, at large
figures, winners of field trials and their off,
spring.
In the Eastern States field trials are held
on grounds that are shot over during tue
shooting season by owners of the dogs that
figure in the trials. The state OF affairs is
vastly different here, as a majority of the
dogs that have been run at Bakersfield were
used by their owners in a country that is
different in its formation to that which
the dogs have been broken on.
Sportsmen who live at a distance from
the plains and must do their shooting on a
rough and billy country require dogs that
have been broken to close ranging. They
lave no use for long distance rangers ex-
cepting TO show them to their friends as
being winners OF ribbons al California
field trial meeting.
II is safe TO say that if six dogs thoroughly
broken on any part OF The country adjacent
TO San Francisco were matched against an
EQUAL number OF dogs that will come from
Bakersfield with winning colors, the latter
would come out second best in race on
such ground. for instance, as is shot over by
the Country Club.

THE AFRICAN ELEPHANT.
How 1t Would Aid i'm Opening Up

London Slandar


Count Povoleri suggests that if the herds
of tuskers still roaming the wilds of Africa
could be captured and confined in kedahs or
eorrals like those successfully formed In
India by the late Mr.. Sanderson. the urner
could still obtain fair supply Of the mate
rial he covets by saving off the tusks. while
the animals, much safer without them,
could be tanned rs beasts Of draught and
burden. Without quite accepting this rather
sanguine view as 10 this domestic supply
being ever equal TO the present demand, it is
undeniable that the tanning of the African
elephant would be one OF the most important
steps in the civilization and o. eniDg up of
Africa which could possibly be taken. 1t
would indeed, solve many of the problems
which the camel settled ages ago, when it
became, as II is likely TO continue, the ship
of the desert" But in most of the country

But railway Is expensive, takes long

serve as a subsidiary in ths far interior,

The California Club has been very unfor-

the bouts carried.

There must certainly be something radi-

is managed, otherwise its contests should
give as good satisfaction as the ones man

Pugilists who have been associated with

Of the clubs should bear in mind that they
are lending their aid to the slaughter Of the
golden calf. When the clubs have to
close their doors owing TO lack of sup

Already there is bill before the Legisa-

This was brought al out by the loud ana
scandalous reports of the number of fake"
fights and pooroom jobs that have taken
place within twelve months.
1t will not be long, owing to the existing
stat Of affairs, when the sport will have TO
come to an end. and II is safe to conjecture
that once pugilism is stopped twill be many
moons until the name of a boxing club will
be heard spoken in this city.

RUFFED GROUSE.
They Are Much Scarcer i'm New Eng
land Than Formerly.


The scarcity of ruffed grouse In New
England is bringing out many theories as
TO its cause. One of the most plausible is
advanced by New Hampshire correspond
eut Last year ruffed grouse in that State
nested well and were generally reported as
plentiful until about mid summer, when they
suddenly disappeared This vanishing the
correspondent attributes to the large in
crease in the number of foxes, which are
more abundant in New Hampshire than
forty years ago. Formerly the majority of
fox-hUniers were farmers and Reynard's
chance Of escape when the dogs mere put
upon his trait was very small. When
tile war broke out the majority of
the country fox-huuters joined Berdan's
were largely recruited in the rural dis
tricts. The few that returned either set
tied in the towns or were too badly broken
down to pursue their former sport. In the
meantime the foxes have rapidly increased,
with corresponding decrease in the num-
Der of ruffied grouse, which, az is well
known. find in Reynard its most persistent
enemy But other forces are arrayed
against the grouse. Formerly sportsman
with his muZzle-loader could get In two
shots in about five minutes; now, with i'm
proved weapons, he only neeas as many
seconds. Then there were no trained dogs
now every village has its quota, AID two
good shots with the help of gooe dog may
destroy a whole flock of young birds in a
single half day. The foxes in time may be
subdued, but every year impraved guns and
better trained dogs are more available. In
the face of these the total extinction of
ruffied grouse in New England would
appear to be not far distant.
