ANCIENT COINS FOUND
Silver Piece Dated 1865 Found
in Back Yard.

Claude Trimble, while cutting
down some manzanita brush on his
fathers place ON Fourth street, found
two ancient Bulgarian coins dated
1894 and 1865 respectively. The co ins
are silver about the size of % cent
piece, one of them we'll preserved.
while the other is punched and shows
wear. When found they were bright
and evidently had not lain there many
years, A possible source of their ap-
pearance at that place might be from
the exceedingly tough band of Gypsies
that passed through here in the
spring. Some of the women wore
Bulgarian coins in their hair. and
probably had more coins about their
person. and it is possible that some of
the Gypsies were prowling around
Mr.. Trimble's house to pick up any
stray article that might be ha ndy,
and dropped the coins.

AN INDIAN WAR STORY
As Narrated by an S-Iear Old
Grants Pass Boy.

Once upon time war was raised
from the Indians. The white people
had to fight them and the war was
begun and they fought for a long
time. One man started to run down
the hill and the captain called him
and said you come back. :" and at
that moment the Indian sent bullet
in the captains breast and he fell
dead, but still they kept on fighting.
The Indians got in the caves and they
wosd dodge up and shoot. But the
white people would be ready all the
time and they drove them back to
their homes badly whipped; and
then grandpa said the war was ended.

MYSTIC RITES AT ASHLAND
Unregenerate Sons OF he Desert
Cross the Burning Sands.

The extraordinary ceremonial ses-
sion of Al Kader Temple of Port
land, Ancient Arabic Order Of the
Mobiles Of the Mystic Shrine, held in
Ashland, Saturday, brought together
u notable gathering of Shriners from
Portland and various parts of the
state, who came on this, the first
pilgrimage which AL Kader temple
has made in lS years, says the It'd
ings. The occasion was the initiation
of half a hundred unregenerate sons
of the Southern Oregon desert into
the mysteries of the ancient rights
and ceremonies of the Shrine. The
Portland contingent numbering about
10 arrived on the noon train Saturday,
bringing the instruments Of torture
and the extensive paraphernalia
necessary to the comforting of this
solemn and serious side of Masonry
upon the chosen candidates. Other
Mobiles gathered from various parts of
the state to assist in the ceremonies
aud join in the social festivities of
the occasion, all of which took place
at Ganiard's opera house and which
concluded with banquet.
A novel and striking feature Of the
celebration was the street parade
which is believed to have been the
first one ever given on this coast,
although they are not unknown In
the eastern states. The Shriner'
formed in parade in fantastic uni
fern aud headed by their drum corps,
and followed by long line Of can
didates, roped together, marched
through the streets with them, tn,
Arab patrol picking up stragglerI
wherever found and hurrying then
into the line, a procedure that afford
ed much amusement TO the outsider
as well an the Shriners themselves.
The visitors TO Ashland on this oo
casion were all delighted with thei
! stay here ana the entertainment
afforded them, aud were loud in thei

New Sens q tional Melo-Dramn
Thursday Oct. ~.

"Over Niagara Falls" Rowland
and Clifford's new sensational melo-
drama, which will be seen at the
opera house on Thursday, October
%, is regarded as the most successful
of the seasons productions. 1t
abounds in sensational scenes, stir
ring climaxes, and strong dramatic
situations dear to the heart Of all
lovers Of melo-drama. The story is
a pretty one depicting the love of
Mildred, the maid of rascally old
Asa Phillips, who commits his many
villianous acts under the cloak Of re-
ligion, for the manly superintendent
of Chautauqua Park, Gilbert Bart
lett. Bartlett has been raised an
outcast unaware of his parentage,
and this know ledge Phillips uses
against him to cause his discharge.
In reality Phillips is Bartlett's faith
er, although neither are cognizant
of the fact. Prior to her marriage
| y
mother, had been circus performer.
Phillips became tired of her several
years before the opening of the play,
and attempted her life, and thinks
himself successful She escaped.
however, and believing her son Bart
lett to be dead, returns to her old pro-
fession, At the opening of the play
she has come to the Falls determined
to go over them in barrel, thereby
adding to her fame. On the eve Of
her descent she is discovered and rec
ognized by Phillips, who chokes her
into insensibility, places her in the
barrel, and starts her out over Niaga-
} ra Falls. TO what he considers certain
death. She is rescued after making
the death-defying tip, however, by
her son. Bartlett. Phillips, having
been seen ON Goat Island by Starlight,
an old Indian chief, is apprehended,
his cloak Of religion is torn from
, him, and he is shown in his true
/ colors A delightful comedy vein is
D woven through the play. The scenery
Q is described as being the most mag
. nihoent that ever claimed the eye Of
. beholder; full view of the Falls,
with its world of water rolling and
tumbling into thunder and foam, be-
ing genuine triumph for the scenic

suited in putting a considerable num-
ber Of men on the "slow board. " The
consolidation of the two sections Of

those who have been on the
freight runs with lower numbers have
gone on the extra list. Two former

total value Of all fruits exported and
used at home SG40, 1000
This increase in value and quanti-
ty Of fruits over 1901 and 1902 is not
entirely due to the heavy crops, but
many new orchards coming into bear

With this years large crop and the
difficulty of getting labor to handle
it promptly, is a problem that many

REPORT TO STATE HORTICULTURAL BOARD
A. H. Carson Commissioner for This District, Writes an
Interesting Report of Conditions in
Southern Oregon
To the president and members of
Stata Roard of Horticnlturp

To the president and members of
State Board of horticulture
Gentlemen;
l hereby respectfully submit my
semi annual report of the Horticul-
tural industry for the Third District
to October LIST, 1908.
The fruit crop, together with prices
FOR the same, with the exception of
the peach, verified the prediction l
made last February, when l published
in the local papers of my district, a
warning to the fruit growers of the
necessity of their being active and
alert in spraying their orchards for
San Jose scale and fungi, so that
their orchards would be in the best
possible condition to mature the
abundant crop that was promised at
that date.
Owing to climatic conditions that
prevailed at the blooming of the
peach, the crop in the district as a
whole was not over 90 per cent, al
though Ashland, favored locality
for the peach, had 40 per cent The
apple, pear, prune are record
breaking crops, being by far the
largest ever grown in this district,
and the demand for Eastern and
European shipments are strong.
In view Of the estimate published
by the apple shippers.association in the
Fruitman Guide, that the apple croT
of the United States for 1908 would
be 6, $50, 600 barrels larger than last
years crop, this Eastern and Euro
pean demand for Oregon apples at AZ
to 90 per cent higher than last year
is somewat of surprise. 1t is pos
sible the superior quality of Oregon
apples are becoming known in the
East, or the apple shippers associa
tions' estimates were far from tn,
mark, and was intended to serve SOM
business motive in its interest.
When Spitz, Jonathans and yellow
Newtons sell here in car lots a
81. 80 per box f. o. b., as thousands o
boxes are sold for in the Rogue rive
valley at this uata. think ther
can be bat little value placed on tn

CARRIES CHILD'S
CORPSE ON TRAIN
Too Poor to Bury It, Father
Brings 1t Here in His
Arms.

Rather than see his little daughter
buried at the expense of the county.
Louis Mark, who has been living at
/ Red Wing for some time, gathered the
corpse of the child in his arms and
with shawl wrapped about it's lifeless
form, carried it to ST. Paul, arriving
here Monday night
Wrapped in a shawl as the body was,
no one on the train suspected that the
man was carrying a corpse. When Mr..
Mark. arrived in st. Paul he took the
child to the home of relatives at PIT
East Water street, who are to furnish
the funds with which te give it a prop.
er burial.
He told the story Of how he had
brought the child here when he applied
for burial permit yesterday. The
matter was referred to Coroner Miller,
who made an investigation and decided
that the father had violated the law,
but that the violation had been in ig-
norance and was prompted by his de-
sire to give the child a decent burial
Nothing will be done regarding the
matter.
Mark formerly lived in st. Paul, but
some time ago went to Red Wing. Since
the death Of his wife, some months ago,
the father has cared for the baby, but
had not sufficient money with which to
bury it when it died. The infant was
thirteen months old

CHURCH CLUBS
COMING HERE
National Conference to Be
Held in st. Paul Next
Year.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 14.-The elev-
enth annual conference of the National
Conference of the Church Clubs of the
United States was opened in Trinity
Episcopal church this morning A
short address of welcome was made by
Bishop Cortland Whitehead. Delegates
are present from all sections Of the
country.
President E. c. Denton, of Roches-
ter, N. Y, read his annual address in
which he rec1ted the history of the
conference of church clubs from its
conception and told how the church
clubs had done much to deepen and
broaden the knowledge of the laity. The
treasurers report showed the confer
ence to be in a good financial condi-
ton.
The afternoon session was given up
to discussion of raising funds by the
clubs for the church. The consensus
was that the clubs were formed purely
for social intercourse and for educa-
tional enlightenment on church mat
ters, and were the clubs to ask mem
bers to subscribe for missions or
church work the clubs would suffer.
st. Paul, Mimi, extended an invita-
ton for the next conference and it
was unanimously accepted. The time
for the meeting was changed from
January to the latter part of April.
