mander was compelled to give up the
search for him and enter a boat AS
he was rowing away under the enc

the head. His head and part of his

two weeks ago the game warden heard
that two men were unlawfully killing
deer about 16 or 20 miles from Glen

wrote TO special deputy G. w. Lewis,
Of Josephine county, to investigate the
alleged violations, and also appoint
ed especially for the trip w. R. viii,

Mr.. Lewis. They were successful in
capturing a man by the name of

were taken to Glendale and each

der our bill will issue gold bonds to
run 80 years to the amount of s50,000,-
600, at the rate of $5,O0O,00O a year,
and will assist families to establish
homes, which shall not exceed
40 acres of irrigated land, or 80 acres
of non-irrigated land. The settlers
will pay for the places in small an
nual installments covering period
of 16 years. The late Senator Hanna
was to have introduced our bill, but
his untimely death prevented it, The
measure is copied after the New zea-
land law, which has been in operation
eight years and has resulted in much
good. Over $1s,OOO,OO0 have been
loaned to the people in that little isl
and with only population of 100000,
and the government could not loan the
balance of the 25,OOO,OOO, as private
parties would furnish money on even
better terms, after the government
entered the market and forced the
money loaners to deal with the people.

E. w Scripps, manager of the Scripps
News Agency, asking for detailed in
formation regarding our plan and
promising his assistance in the work
through his newspaper syndicate.
Other prominent men, including Sen
ator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, have
interested themselves along these
lines and are doing great good for
the measure. The Salvation Army
has three colonies of their own in
the United States-in Ohio, Colorado
and Calfornia--and the success that
has attended our efforts in this di-
rection has been unprecedented. Two
of the colonies are on arid land and
about $500 900 have been expended in
settling some 400 men. women and
children on these lands. The. farms
average 20 acres and the colonists are
self-supportlng and contented On
one colony there are now three
schools. four teachers and 10 school
children. Families who started flve
years ago without a cent have now
from $4,000 to $4,000 worth of real and

MOHLER
WILL BE
MISSED
His Efforts We're Successful
In Doing Great Good for
Oregon

The people of the Inland Empire
have begun to realize what has been
done for them in the matter of i'm
provement of transportation facilities
during the past four or five years. At
banquet given in Portland Saturday
night by citizens to the retiring presi-
dent of the o. r. G. NJ, Mr.. A. l..
Mohler the statements we're made
that during his administration of that
property which was emerging from
bankruptcy when he took hold of it,
he has laid 462 miles of 80 and 80
pound steel rails on the main line,
eliminated curves substituted steel
for wooden bridges, built new tunnels
laid concrete culverts, ballasted the
line with gravel equipped the road
with modern locomotives, general roll
ing stock, new dining cars and
coaches. The line stands today the
equal of any of the trunk lines and
is credit to the company, Mr. Mob,
Ter, and the state. Those who have
carefully observed transportation
matters in the state for period of
10 or 20 years say that no such re-
construction work has ever been ac-
complished here before. Mohler prac.
tlcally took hold of new proposi-
tion and besides the work mentioned
has rebuilt portions of the Spokane
! Riparia line. and consummated plans
for branch line work in different Sec
tions of Oregon and Washington.
Added to this he has increased the
carrying capacity of the Oriental
steamship line between Portland and
Japan and China by adding new
steamers to the feet and changing
old steamers for boats of larger ca.
pacity.
Mr.. Mohler leaves Oregon with a
clear record as one of the best trans
portation managers the west has ever
seen and while his loss is deeply re.
gretted by all the business interests
of the state and especially those of
the Inland Empire, which has felt the
effects of his work in every line of
business and department of develop
ment work, he will be followed to
his new field of labor by the best
wishes of all. Oregon is on the eve
of greater things in the near future
and the way has been prepared by the
transportation facilities already made
for the Inland Empire by the o. r. &
N. and the plans they have for future
work. Rates for freight and passen
ger traffic have been voluntarily re
duced and the whole scheme of bet
terment of service is with the view
of cheapening the cost of transpor
tation to producers and consumers.
The policy the Hartman system
has inaugurated aud so successfully
} carried out by President Mohler, who
steps to the general managership ol
the Union Pacific, will be fully de
veloped and consummated in all de
tails by his successor, General Man
, ager e. e, Calvin, who came to Ore
gon railroad man of large ability
large experience and citizen of the
greatest attainments.

VOTE FOR WHAT YOU WANT.

The casting of ballot is the most
serious thing a person can do, as our
vote will be for the capitalist class
and continuation of the present sys-
tenn of wage slavery, industrial war
and social disorder, such as we have
had in Colorado the Dast two years :
or it will be for the working class and
a change of the present system to the
socialistic republic-a republic in
which every worker shall have the
trev exercise ard full benefit of his
faculties multiplied by all the modern
factors of civilization.
II you want such a change, write
the two words, SOCIALIST LABOR.
OH your ballot and vote the Socialist
Labor party ticket straight, as this is
the only way to vote for a change.
If you want to continue the present
industrial strife, vote for either of
the old political parties, as they are
alike upholders of the present system
of capitalism in all that the word
Capitalism may imply.
The thing to do is to learn what
you want and then vote for it. and to
remember to write the two words,
SOCIALIST LABOR, on your ballot
if you want your vote to count fol
either Socialism or Labor.
This space is paid for at Advertis
ing rates by the Socialist Labor party.

a large portion of their taxes have
been spent. They have Investigated
