DAM BUILDERS
DISCOVER GOLD
IN ROGUE RIVER
speclal p.gpateh 70 The CaI.

JACKSONVILLE, Or, Sept 1.-the
Gold Hill dam across the Rogue River
built to conserve the water for power
purposes, has revealed d bar of placer
gold in the bed of the stream which is
believed to contain s25O.OO0. Alexander
Orme. foreman of dam construction, was
discoverer of the gold-bearing gravel
He panned out 500 in two and a half
hours. but as soon as the fact that gold
existed in the bar became known the
Condor Power Company, TO whom the
dam belongs. refused to allow further
mining operations. Extensive prepara-
tions are being made to work the prop
erty The dam, which holds back the
waters of Rogue River at this point,
caused the formation of gravel bar, and
it is in this that the placer gold has been
found 1t evidently came down the river
and lodged within easy reach Of those
who have spent thousands of dollars in
perfecting the dam in order that electri-
cal power might be supplied TO the sur
rounding country.
The bed of Rogue River adjacent to the
dam is being thoroughly prospected, and
other large gold deposits are expected to
be found.

PEARY AND THE POLE

- OMMANDER PEARY has obtained financial
4 backing for another voyage of Arctic ex-
- ploration and the Navy Department has
granted him leave Of absence undertake the ven
ture. 1t is expected by the explorer and by his
friends that he will this time complete the long quest
by reaching the pole. In fact Mr.. Darling Acting
Secretary Of the Navy, in granting the request for
leave sad The discovery OF the pole should be YOUR
main object. Nothing short OF that will suffice"
Commander Peary therefore will have not only the
promptings OF ambition but those of friendly and
official urging to mpel him to make supreme effort
this time to the long work Of Arctic explora-
ton by making his way the pole if it be humanity
possible to do so.
The plan upon which the adventure is to be
carried promises we'll so far as it can be judged
by the public and it will be accepted with confidence
coming it does from so experienced and so
successful in Arctic exploration as Commander
Peary Under its terms the expedition will start next
April and go direct to Cape York at the southeast
extremity of Greenland, where number Of Eskimos
will be taken on board, and the company will then
proceed to Cape Columbia point about 400 miles
distant from the pole, where permanent camp will
be established a base of supplies for the various
expeditions that may be made in the direction of the
pole itself
! The line of advance proposed is based upon con-
vction of Commander Peary that while the travel
Immediately after leaving Cape Columbia will be ex-
ceedingy rough will become less and less difficult as
one advances. Peary says: It is my theory that the
further one gets across the ice and away from the
land the smoother the ice will be and that finally the
travelling will be comparatively easy"
In making the advance every care will be taken to
safeguard the explorers against the dangers of the
north. AS far practicable caches containing sup
plies of all kinds will be established frequent inter
walls along the route 1t is the expectation that by
starting in April the explorers will be able to force
their to Cape Columbia before being compelled to
fix winter quarters. With the earliest return of light

WOMEN AS FARM HANDS.

~ late we have heard comparatively little of the
| once loud complaining the abandoned
~ farms of New England 1t appears the farms
are being once more occupied and cultivated and
there no longer any fear that the rural districts will
revert to the wilderness Now however, there comes
new complaint. The incoming occupants of the
farms not OF the old type OF farmers. Some
rich people OF the cities, who the land for
homes or for game parks while others are foreigners,
who cultivating them by methods quite different
from anything to which New England has been
toned.
Possessing little or no capital and largely ignorant
OF the uses of farm machinery the incoming peasants
from Europe are working the lands of their New
England homes in the way which they accus-
toned in the Old World, and as a result the "hired
man" once so familiar in the country is being
crowded out by workers in the fields. In
most cases the women who work the fields are mem
bers of the family owning or at least occupying the
land but it is not always 1t has been found that
the employment of women in the fields is in many
cases more economical than that of men, and they
are being substituted extensively in truck farms
around Boston
Commenting upon the change the Boston Globe
says: 1T will mean new race OF farmers in New
England. 1t will regeneration of the deserted
farm, but it will also mean a social element in
New England life that later will make itself
felt and heard in the councils of State and nation In
the long run wealth inheres in the SOIL The Ameri-
boy may go to the city, dress well and apparently
help form certain social upper crust, but the for
eigner who puts his whole family into the field, man.
woman and child, is slowly amassing the wealth. If
his children rude they will be polished later
Ignorance is not natural to any race"
The Globe predicts that distant future the
West will initiate New England and substitute women
for in nearly all rural industries but the opinion
will not be shared by the people of the West The
soil of New England is barren that it cannot sup
port family living up to the normal American stand
ard, and so it passes to the foreigner immigrant who
sets his wife and daughters to work. but that kind of
soil doesn't prevail west of the Hudson. 1t will be
long time before the United States as whole is af
fected by economic conditions that exist in New
England, and until that time comes the Western man
will continue to run the farm machinery from gang
plow to hay rake, while his wife and daughters "sit
in the parlor, sew fine seam and live upon straw
berries, sugar and cream"

CUTTING TELEPHONE WIRES.

~ %HE original cause of the strike by telephone
lnemen IS entirely lost sight Of in the crimes OF
violence against person and property TO which
some OF the strikers have resorted. When they quit
their Job they stood upon American rights 1t is the
right OF any man not to work But it is equally the
right OF any man to work in any lawful occupation
The law protects men in the right to quit work and
i should equally protect men who want to work.
What would be thought OF a proposition to legally
or bv illegal force and violence compel any free
10 work against his will? The common sense Of
mankind would at once see II truly as tyranny, base
and intoerabe. So the common sense OF honest
mankind sees in the prevention OF labor by union
strikers the basest OF tyranny, made all the more into
cradle by the cowardly crimes by which is enforced
The striking line1nen, by their mob attacks hon
ent men who want 10 work have compelled the spec
tacle humiliating TO an American, OF workmen COM
PEELED TO have constant police protection to keep
from being murdered Nothing can inict greater in
jury upon our country than this. 1t means that we
have among US an organized class OF who have
no regard for the rights OF Others and whatever
Tor their own character as American citizens
That they are defiant OF the rights of the COM
rnuny is proved by their criminal cutting OF tele-
phone wires and cables That crime is blow at the
community aimed at its life. 1t is the crime OF de-
spoable sneaks, committed covertly in the dark at
hours when It imperils the life OF people in way
parties the issue raised between these criminals and
their late employer. It imposes inconvenience and
nhicts loss that are not felt by the telephone COM
pany The public has borne in grim silence and has
betrayed no inpatience with the telephone company
But the criminals who aim this blow at their late
employer must understand that their crimes have
alienated public sympathy from them, and every
decent citizen would gladly aid in infcting upon them
punishment that would fit their crime.
L is we'll for petty magistrates who perjure them
selves and violate the law by favoring these enemies
Of mankind who are brought before them red-handed
reflect that they viii be forgotten the polls
by decent citizens whose rights they fail to protect
in order to curry favor with oath-bound criminals
