MONEY TO CRATER LAKE
Secretary OF Interior Asks Liber-
al Appropriation.

The interior department recognizes
that more liberal appropriations are
necessary for the Improvement Of the
Crater Lake National Park than have
been made in tho past. The last sun
dry civil bill appropriated only ss, 600
for this work and out of this an al.
lowance goes to the salary Of the su-
porintendent. With such meagro
appropriation, little progress can be
made In the direction Of constructing
roads and making other improvements
which will facilitate the access TO
Crater Lake and other points Of scenic
interest scattered all through the
park. This year, the secretary OF the
treasury hopes to have at least 81, 900
made available so that the improve
ments can be made during the summer
OF 1904.
Mount Rainier National Park in
Washington is so far without super.
intendent, and, beyond road survey
made last summer, little has been
done looking to its Improvement
The secretary now asks for 81, 600 to
be expended in the management and
improvement Of this park and ON the
improvement Of roads. The Washing
ton delegation will ask for a larger
amount, although there is some doubt
II they will succeed in getting It,

TRACES OF LEWIS & CLARK
Found in Southern Oreson Near
Wagner Butte.

Traces Of Captains Lewis and Clark,
whose journey across the continent
made known for the first time the
vastness of the western part of North
America, have been found in the
Rogue river valley. The traces were
found in 1875, but at that time there
was not so much interest taken in the
journeys of these famous men, so that
the persons who discovered the marks
paid but little attention to the names
and would not have noticed them at
all had it rot been for the date-1S05
1t was in the spring of 1875 that
j. W. Smith, Andrew Welden and
John Wells started from near where
Phoenix now is, for the summit of
Wagner Butte. They reached the
summit, and upon the rock which
crowns the lofty eminence, found the
names of Lewis ana Clark carved in
the stone, together with the date.
They had but little idea of whom
fLewis and Clark had been, but the
early date ATTRACTED their notice.
On their return they told of what
they had seen. In the changing
events of pioneer days, little attention
was paid to the discovery. History
had little attraction for the people in
those days.
OF late years, however, the story
has come to be revived. and the
brother of one of the parties was the
informant of The Mail as to the above
story.
Travelling through an unknown and
trackless country, the explorers would
naturally seek the highest points in
order to get a view of the surrounding
country and to pick out the best route
to pursue, and probably the first
white men to view the magnificent
panorama of the Rogue river valley
and the rolling submits of the Siski.
GUS and the Cascades from the top of
Wagner Butte, were the intrepid ex-
plorers, whose names are carved deep
ly in the tablets of history. -Medford

HITCHCOCK YIELDS POINT
President Orders Secretary to Re
woke His Order.

A Washington dispatch says that
President Roosevelt, after confer
ence with the Oregon senator's, direct
ed Secretary Hitchcock to abandon
the practice that has been in vogue
for more than year past, of suspend
lug all entries made under the timber
and stone act in Oregon, Washington
and California. In accordance with
that direction, the secretary issued
the following statement:
"The order under which final action
upon timber and stone entries was
suspended has been revoked by the
secretary of the interior, aud all
such entries will now be acted upon
in the General Land Office In regular
order. I"
This suspension served a good pui :
pose, and was the means of prevent
ing many fraudulent entries. While
a rigid scrutiny Of all entries under
that act will be continued, 1t will
have the effect Of allowing all valid
entries to be patented.
At the conference at the White
House Monday morning the public
land situation In Oregon was
thoroughly reviewed. The senators
stoutly protested against the contin.
uance Of the present policy of the
Interior Department, on the ground
that it worked inexcusable hardship
on bona fide settlers, and was serious-
ly retarding the development OF the
state.
While they admitted some fraud
had undoubtedly been committed,
they insisted that the detection Of
fraud did not justify the extreme
methods that have been In vogue since
November, 1902 They told the presi.
dent that unless something was done
to relieve the strain, the vote OF
Oregon next year would be seriously
affected because of the general discon.
tent Of the people.
Due precaution will still be taken
TO see that the timber and stone act is
not violated, but the obnoxious prac.
tices complained Of, the apparently
inexcusable delays, and the unneoes.
sary bounding of entrymen, Is to be
done away with. The president,
living up to his promise to tho Oregon
senators two weeks ago, stopped in
aud ordered the secretary to cease
those methods which were injuring
the development Of the state and in
terfering with the rights OF settlers
Hereafter every timber entry will be
examined by special agent Of the
Land Office or some other available
official within tho 80 day period II
possible, and upon the agents report,
the commissioner will base his recon-.
mendation.

The agitation over the slot machines
is not confined to Portland. Tho
Michigan courts are now after them
and they don't draw the line any
where this side Of their complete ex-
tinction
Judge Coolidge Of the circuit bench
at ST. Joseph said; Complaint has
been made to me Of the use Of slot
machines among minors. 1t is q
practice without excuse. The police
of the cities and the village officers
ara therefore ordered to remove all
slot machines within their jurisdic-
tion. II the machines are not remov.
ed by the proprietors they must be
conflscated. Playing Of slot machines
has become rampant. 1t leads youths
to the temptation Of thieving and en-.
hezzlement, ending behind prison
bars. If the police neglect their duty,
| will see that the prosecuting attor-
ney takes steps towards their prose-
cution for official negligence. Play
ing slot machines in hope Of gain is
the first seed whereby is sown the seed
Of crime which ends tho careers Of
promising young men behind prison
bars. "
When asked whether any distinction
would be made in the several kinds
OF machines ho said no restrictions
could bo made, they were all operated
for the samo purpose and all must go.
Portland officials In comparison
with this, have undertaken an easy
task.
Why cannot the officials OF Grants
Pass undertake the same methods to
abolish the slot machines from our
midst, thereby helping, TO say the
least, to save our young men from
ruin.

The Drama In japan.

Stage management in Japan is
somewhat eccentric. When, in the
course of the play, one of the char
acters is killed man in black rush
es on the stage and holds large
cloak before the supposed corpse,
who arises and runs off. This is a
necessary proceeding, as japanese
play begins at 10 o'clock in the
morning and lasts for twenty-four
hours, with no shift of scenery, and
it would not do to have the sup
posed corpse lying about the stage
all that time. People go to the play
for day and take their
children with them. In the inter
walls between the acts the children
climb on the stage and make a play
ground Of it, sometimes giving very
clever limitations Of the actors who
have just gone off.

Pitcher Plant Guards Orchids.

The Trinidad botanical depart
ment proposes a unique plan for the
determination of the destructive
reaches which prey upon orchids.
It recommends the plentiful use Of
pitcher plants as sort OF floral
watchdog.
This peculiar flower possesses the
property of capturing and killing
insects which venture into its en-
ticing urn shaped blossoms in search
of the seductive bit Of honeydew
which may be found there.
Cockroaches are particularly sus-
ceptible to the Establishments Of
this Delilah of the flower kingdom
and are an easy prey. They "fol-
low their noses" when they scent
the delicate fragrance and creep
into the gayly Haunting pitcher of
nectar, only to find tragic end.
1t is valley of deadly Upas, for
the victim is at once closed in by
the sucking petals, and his life is
literally squeezed out Of him. Sell
dom indeed does one ever escape
from the cannibal clutch of the
pitcher plant.

Anamese Mobiles, Nails.

The mobiles Of Anam permit their
nails to grow as long as Nebu-
chadnezzar's did in his grazing days,
and the hands of these strange orr
entail aristocrats are absolutely use
less for any practical purpose. The
nails on the second, third and
fourth fingers attain a length OF
from four to nearly five inches.
They are almost straight in the
main, with a slight inward curve,
and have somewhat the appearance
of great claws or talons. The thumb
nail does not attain the size Of the
rest of the digits and usually exhib-
its more tendency to twist. 1t is
supposed by some that the abnor-
mality in nail culture was adopted
to indicate lofty immunity from
labor and frivolitY.

SAYS CRIME WAS PROPER.
Governor OF Texas Pardons Slayer Of
Sisters RetraYer.


Dallas, Tex, June 5.-The most re-
markable language ever used by a
governor of Texas in pardoning con-
Wet is that employed by Governor
Lanham In the case Of Milton Young,
who on May 8, 1901, walked into res
taurant at Arlington and, without
warning, shot j. B. Oldfeld, school
teacher, dead at a table at which he
was eating meal. Young was recent
ly convicted of murder and given a
term in the penitentiary. His defense
was that he was justified in killing
Oldfeld because Oldfeld had be-
trayed his only sister, girl just in
her teens and who was one of his
pupils.
The people Of Arlington community
generally signed petition for Young's
pardon. The state board of pardons,
of which Governor Lanham is chair
man, granted the pardon. Governor
Lanham, in his official proclamation,
reviews the case and closes the proc
lamation with this unusual language:
The deceased had been on intimate
terms of friendship with the family
of the applicant and that Of his father
and such base and brutal betrayal
of confidence and friendship deserved
death at the hands of the applicant"
