Map OF Rogue River.

The Medford Mail has the following
account concerning w. F. Hunters map
Of Rogue river; The gentleman was
detailed last fall to make correct map
OF Rogue river from its source to its
mouth. He started out upon his trip in
small boat with one assistant and in
thirty-two days he had made the entire
trip. While en- route his assistant quit
and he was compelled to pick up another
man for the remainder OF the trip,
which change Of help gives Mr.. Hunter
the distinction OF having been the first
man who ever traversed the entire
length Of the stream. In making the
trip he took account OF all rapids and
falls, crooks and bends, all distractions
in the river channels and as we'll the to-
pography OF the country for some dis.
tance on either side OF the river. The
trip has given to Oregon map makers
many facts regarding the Rogue river
which have heretofore been unknown,
as a good part Of the river had never be-
fore been mapped. For instance, the
only perpendicular falls on the river are
near Mt. Reuben, were the water falls
twelve feet; the narrowest place is ten
miles above the confluence OF Mule creek
where the river is but fifteen feet wide (;
at Horseshoe bend, which does not show
on any map previously made, the river
makes loop and SO sharp is it that at
one point stone can easily be thrown
across the land around which the river
runs, while by the river it is fully mile.
The DEVILS Stairs which are ON the old
pack trail, are indeed a curious bit Of
early day crude engineering. Here the
trail doubles upon itself in climbing the
mountain and so close are the trails,
one above the other, that horseman
could easily step from the trail above
onto horse ON the trail below. 1t is
right in here where the river narrows to
about thirty feet and passes between
mountain walls fully 5000 feet high. So
dark is it in this passage that during the
early forenoon a person in boat on the
water can, by looking upwards, see
the stars as plainly as At midnight. All
OF these facts were noted by Mr.. Hunter
upon the trip he made, and the fact that
nearly all Of them are inside OF the forty
miles Of the UNEMPLOYED portion Of the
river makes his map just that much more
valuable. Another peculiar fact exists
regarding the river and that is that the
volume Of water does not increase to
any perceptible degree from the source
of the river until the Illinois river
empties into 1t. The evaporation seems
to take up the added supply from the
main rivers tributaries. Mr.. Hunter
70 und in the forty miles OF unexplored
distance not more than half q dozen
people and these were miners. Further
down he found great number OF settlers
all very nice people, who were anxiously
awaiting the coming OF some enterprise
which would happen their way and bet
ter their conditions.

the announcement by tho board OF
health that DR.. Emmanuel Pieiffer, who
voluntarily exposed himself to small
pox, at the hospital at ,'iallouPes Island,
about two weeks ago, is III with the
disease in the worst form and probably
cannot live. DR.. Pieiffer Ia one OF the
strongest opponents OF vaccination in
the state, and recently appeared before
the legislative committee to urge the
repeal Of the compulsory vaccination
law. Having the courage Of his con.
viction, he went to Galloupes Island and
completely exposed himself to smallpox.
DR.. Pieifier gained notoriety some time

Now the Southern Pacific's Or egon
lines are to be brought into harmony
with the modern scheme oil railroad i'm.
provement. These lines, the operation
OF which has been reported to result in
a net deficit Of about 100000 a year,
are to have heavier rails, new bridges,
filed testles, ballasted track and new
depot buildings. This work has only
been begun, but all available forces will
te kept at it, aud there is no indication
that this year will see its finish. A
good beginning will be made this year
but the probabilities arc that the heav.
lest expense will come next season, un'
less there shall be something unexpected
to interfere with plans now taking
shape.
About 800, 900 cubic yards of trestle-
filling will be put in between Ashland
aud Dunsmuir this season, eliminating
a large number Of trestles on the diyis
ion across the Siskiyou mountains ant
putting that stretch Of track In much
better condition than II has ever been
That part Of the road will also be laiC
with S0-pound steel rails for distance
Of about 30 miles. It will take l25 toni
Of these new rails for a mile Of track, Of
$3.50 tons in all. They are now being re
ceived, and are expected to be laid earl!
Ia the season. The new rails and filled
trestles will enable trains TO max,
much faster time across the mountains
holding rolling stock Of greater weigh
than is necessary for this service.
One steam shovel has already com
menced work In the siskiyous, an,
another is at the Candy gravel pi
digging out ballast to bo used between
Candy and Aurora. When this stretcl
shall be completed the Mohawk brancl
will be ballasted with gravel, and thel
the work will be prosecuted in tn
Rogue River Valley, and between Rose
burg and Myrtle creek, in the Umpqu
Valley. Forty miles or more OF thi
ballasting will be done before fall.
A new steel bridge is to be constructe,
across the Clacksmas river to take tn
place OF the present wooden structure
Another steel bridge will be bull
across the klamath river near KlamA

The greatest mass wedding on rso-
ord from gray antiquity 70 the pres
ent day took place at the time OF Alex
ander the Great. Ten thousand one
hundred and one men were married to
i0,i0i women at one time on that
memorable occasion. II was after the
conquest OF Persia that Alexander, be-
Heving intermarriage between the VIC
tors and the vanquished to be the best
method Of securing his supremacy IN
the conquered country, decreed that
100 of his chief officers and 10000 OF
his Greek soldiers should be married
at the same time with corresponding
number OF Persian women. The mass
wedding was celebrated on q plain
near the city Of Susa.
A vast pavilion was erected In which
Alexander the Great himself was to
marry Statira, the beautiful daughter
of Darius. II was hung with rich It's
sues and adorned with gold and pre-
cious stones. Adjoining the pavilion
were gorgeous quarters for the hun
dred officers, and IN an inclosed court
seats were prepared for the 10000 sol
der bridegrooms and their prospec-
tive brides. The ceremony was ex-
ceedlngly simple. After all the
grooms and brides were assembled
and in their proper places Alexander
offered hbation to the gods and then
kissed statira as his wife. His exam
pie was initiated by all the other
grooms with their respective brides,
and after the ceremony was thus com
pleted the great wedding feast was
spread for the thousands.

Grand Scenery of Shasta Route


In going over the famous "Shasta
Route" Of the Southern Pacific 90. the
traveller ever finds something new to
excite his admiration and interest.
Starting at Portland, one traverses the
whole length OF the Willamette Valley,
the gem Of the Northwest. Mt. Hood
Mt. Jefferson, and the Three Sisters and
other snow'capped peaks are kept in
sight for hours. The beautiful valleys
Of the Umpqua and Rogue Rivers, with
their orchards Of prunes, peaches, apples,
and other fruits are delight IN them
selves. The crossing OF the great mount
ain barrier between Oregon and Calf.
ornia reveals the grsndest IN ountan see
merry in the United States. The wonderful
turnings, twistings, and doublings of the
railroad bring into view a grand array OF
towering mountains and profound gorges
into which we gaze nom dizzy heights,
forest clad mountain slopes stretching
up to the line OF perpetual snow, and
the foaming mountain streams dashing
tiercely down deep canyons, now and
then stopping for short rest in some
quiet pool. After days enjoyment OF
old Mt. Shasta, the finest peak on the
continent, we drop rapidly down the
canyon OF the Sacramento to the broad
plains OF the Sacramento Valley in Cal
iiornia, and thence through vineyards
and orchards to San Francisco.

4 Scientific inCendiary.

Prof. III. a. Hayes who CON
Quoted the white teachers Insti-
tute In this county in 1899, and
who was at that time superinten-
dent of the schools at West Point.
Is charged with an attempt to
burn a hotel ut Henderson, Ky,
in which were lodged number of
guests. Mr.. Hayes is a learned
man and he scorned to do the in
cendiary act after the manner of
the illiterate. Instead, he employ
ed the skill of the chemist and
calculated time by the physical
law of evaporation. His much
learning, however. was rendered
impoten: by lack of the most ordi-
nary common sense, This brought
failure TO his diabolical plot and
doom to himself Here is the
professors method, which. pos
sibly. he presented to his con
science as involuntary com bustion:
Phosphorus was put in a bottle
and covered with a bath of bisul-
phide of carbon The bottle was
placed IN an unoccupied room of
the hotel and surrounded with cot
ton saturated with coal oil Phos
phorus will burn when exposed
to the air and bisulphide of carbon
evaporates quickly, Mr.. Hayes
knew this and covered the phos-
phorus with the carbon knowing
that it would soon evaporate, ex-
pose the phosphorus to the air
and that com bustion would result.
No doubt, this scientific crimi-
nal calculated correctly along the
abstruse lines but when it came to
the exercise of mite of common
sense be was lost-he left the stop
per in the bottle, evaporation was
retarded and the com bustion did
not take place until inmates Of the
hotel were stirring. These dis
covered the fire, extinguished il
and captured the bottle. This
bottle bore a label which identi-
fled Prof. Hayes with the crime
and led to his arrest.
Mr.. Hayes went to West Point
from somewhere in Texas He
was followed by unsavory rumors
respecting his conduct while in
that state and won for himself
similar reputation during his last
days at West Point.
The teachers who attended the
Institute at Aberdeen in 1899 will
remember him as a pleasing at
tractive speaker and possessed of
wonderful school ability.
