A deep interest is being taken by
miners and citizens in the necessity
Of protecting the mining interest
from the locators Of timber land. Ii
many instances in Josephine county
timber locations have been made OF
land that Is valuable for its minera
resources, and in some instances OF
mining claims that have been WORKED
for years. In these latter cases, pro
tests have been filed, the owners being
watchful, but when timber locations
are made on mineral land that is pub
lie, who is there to make the necos
ary protest unless the miners and
prospectors make concerted effort aud
are increasingly vigilant The timber
land locators are, for the most part
men who know nothing of mines OF
mining. They see no mineral ON the
ground or in 1t aud with light heart
they can make oath that the ground is
not valuable for mineral They act
as witnesses for one another If the
ground were rich in mineral indica.
tions it would probably not be de.
tectod by them. So, while perhaps in
isolated cases timber claims may have
been taken for the purpose of securing
the mineral, in most instances the
locations, are made solely for the tim.
Der. But whatever the motive, the
result is the same Land is located in
inaccessible regions and in the heart
of mineral belt, as, for instance, ON
Grayhack mountain and ON Green
mountain, at the head Of Grave creek
often iu localities where the timber
can not possibly come to the market
for scores of years, if ever. II is re-.
liably asserted by responsible men
who have been ON the ground that
many of these claims have not timber
enough to fence them. Yet when
patent issues the locator owns the
land. IL has passed from public to
private ownership, the prospcctor is
hampercd and mining interests suffer.
The mining industry is far superior
In Importance in this country to any
other and its protection is necessary.
Nearly all mining enterprises are in.
itiatcd by the prospector Others
may develop and operate the mines
but 1t is the prospector who dis.
covers them aud contributes them
TO the country'S wealth and the pros
pcctor's valuable services should bc
recognized and his industry given pro.
lection. In this movement there is no
sentiment Of i'll will against the tim.
herman nor against the location of
timber claims ON timber land Ii is
simply to prevent the mineral land
from being absorbed by timber loca.

Many hard working young woman
spends her noon hour in an endeavor to
get little rest to carry her through the
remaining hours of the day. She is
weak and weary, but she cannot give up
the occupation which supports her, She
must go back to the office and the type
writer, to the store and its duties, with
tiresome customers to wait on and ex-
acting employers to please.
For people who are weak and run
down there is no medicine so va luable as
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t cures diseases of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition.
Many diseases in organs remote from the
stomach have their origin in a diseased
condition of the stomach and its allied
organs. When the stomach is weak
there is failure to properly digest and
asslnilate the food which is eaten.
Hence the whole body, and each organ
OF 1t, suffers from lack of nutrition, so
that as a consequence of vweak stom-
ach, there may be weak lungs, vweakp
heart, weak" or torpid liver, oweak
nerves, etc. BY curing diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion
and nutrition, Golden Medical Discov-
cry enables the assimilation of the
nutriment necessary for the requirements
of a healthy body. 1t increases the ac-
tiyity Of the blood-making glands, and
so increases the supply OF blood which
is the vital fluid OF the body.
There is no alcohol in the Discovery
and it is entirely free from opium, CO.
caine, and all other narcotics.
Sick and ailing people especially those
suffering from disease in its chronic form
are invited to consult DR.. Pierce by letter
Jrcc All correspondence is held as
strictly private and Sacredlv confidential.

SEE INDIAN TERRITORY
Mr.. Roosevelt has Arranged His
Southwestern Trip Itinerary.

Washington, June ll.-President
Roosevelt will pass through the indian
territory on his Western trip and stop
at several towns in the territory =.
Secretary Cortelyou said today that
the itinerary had not been arranged,
but Mr.. Roosevelt was anxious to
visit the Indian territory as he had
never been there and he had given in,
structions that the territory be in
cluded in the route on his way to the
Southwest. 1t is probable that the
presidential train will go from St.
Louis by way of the Missouri, Kansas
d Texas road to San Antonio.
The complete itinerary will be ar
ranged upon the Presidents return.
Delegate Dennis Flynn has urged
Mr.. Roosevelt TO visit Oklahoma, but
the President said he could not see
his way clear to do so. He called at
tention to the fact that he attended the
first reunion Of the Trough Riders
at Oklahoma City two years ago and
added that he would accept the invita-
tion had he not dGided to go by way
OF the Indian territory.
Representative Slayden this morn
ing invited Secretary Root to accom-
pany him TO Texas and go tarpon fish
ing. The Secretary said he would be
glad to do 50. and, If the plan were
satisfactory to Mr. Slayden, they
would go to Texas few days before
the President, and, after fishing trip,
join the Presidential party at San An

TWO SMART MONKEYS.
One Mhsquernded as IA Child, the 9th
er MIXED Cows, Says This
Truthful Narrator.

Some time ago there was a monkey
in the east-what is left of him is now
in a Philadelphia museum that
looked so much like . child that its
owner would put a skirt and other gar
meuts on it, with a veil over its face,
and take it out for street-car rides.
and nobody detected the deception.
The monkey was well-behayed
monkey and never sassed the conduc-
tor, nor rang up the stop button, nor
read the advertisements out loud. 1t
didn't chew up transfers nor call eno-
barrasaing attention to the fare reg
lister.
"Is this your child?" the conductor
would say as he came down the aisle.
Isn't the resemblance ape-parentY"
said the monkeys guardian with an
attempt at witticism that was quite
lost on the man of fares.
''How old is she?"
"She's old enough to ride free, re
Piled the owner
And IL the conductor spoke to the
monkey the latter would look up at
his master and his master would say:
"You mustn't annoy the child. She
isn't accustomed to being spoken to
by persons to whom she has never been
introduced
That was a smart monkey, but they
had one on farm near Tremley, ". j..
that was much cleverer. He was an
old monkey and full of tricks. He
could milk a COW and wash dishes and
feed the chickens and ring the dinner
bell for the farm hands. He could
| gather apples and pick berries and
throw snowballs. He liked strong
drink, and whenever he could stea9
liquor and gulp it down he would sleep
off his cRrouse and then have head
ache the next morning that was almost
| human.
| But his best accomplishment was
milking cows. And the strangest part
of this was the fact that COWS would
stand fori him. On only one OCCASION
did a gentle bovine wax frisky and kick
both the monkey milkmaid and the
pail half way through the side of the
stable. Then the monkey was mad.
He picked himself up and, rushing at
the cow, used some very naughty cen
trail African language and kicked her
viciously several times. And then he
ran bowling into the house and put
his battered toes in his mouth and
called for arnica and plenty of it the
best he knew how.
This famous simian caught cold
making a snow man one day recently,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and
neither medicine nor tender nursing
could stave off the fatal result.

THE RIVER HAS SUBS|DED
Flood Returns 10 its Banks Much More
Quickly Than the Waters Escap-
ed to the Fields.

AS predicted, the waters in the Ne
osho river withdrew in few hours
into the banks of the stream, This
was expected because of the way the
floods fell up above. Wednesday
people were boating around the race
track and over the ball diamond Yes
terday no water was visible outside
of the main channel of the river and
the flood there was well within the
banks,
All OF the overflow between town
and the river bridge has disappeared
and only wei. strip OF ground COW
cred with light deposit of black sed-
iment from the water indicates where
the water has been. Work on the
Missouri Pacific tracks began early
yesterday and in short time the
line will be fully repaired and trains
again running regularly.
The loss occasioned by the high
water cannot, of course, be estimated
now, but 1t must run intothe thousands
of dollars in this county alone, Tn,
bottom lands are among the best il
the county and hundreds of acres o
corn, wheat, potatoes, garden truck
and grains have been destroyed.
The food which stood high her,
yesterday is today at Chanute ant
Parsons, from which places report
say the water is higher than ever. Th
dikes have broken about Chanut
and the food is spreading all over tn
