WAS NOT AN EMBEZZLER
But Had Striking Resemblance in
Form and Feature.

Marshal Stevens and Mr.. Hughes of
Msrysville, Cal, went to Roseburg
Monday on track of an emtezzler who
was supposed to have heen here re-
Gently. The man they were IN search
of was a former CASH Of the State
Bank Of Mapleton, Mimi, and bad
embezzled funds to the amount OF
sl7, COO. Mr.. Hughes, an official of
MapIetou had wired his brother at
Marysyille TO have the man arrested
at Grants Pass The Marysville
Hughes had known the embezzler for
years and was provided with photo
graph Of the man At Roseburg they
found man who answered the de-
scription in every detail, even to the
weight which was considerable over
200 pounds The arrest was made
and the man taken before justice Of
the peace, but the accused proved his
identity by a Roseburg citizen. On
being shown the photograph and des-
cription, he had to admit that the
officials were justified in arrestiDg
him. The inan proved to be N. /.
Griswold Of Washington. d c., and
holding a government position. He
vas known by one man only in Rose
burg and but for this acquaintance,
he would have been placed in very
awkward position

LOSS CAUSED BY STORM
Boom 8 Lumber Co.
Mill Shut Down.

The storm Of last week occasioned
some loss to the Applegate Boom q
Lumber Co. at their dam and mill at
Murphy. Quite a considerable quan
tity of logs that had been hung up on
.the banks by previous freshets bat
we're within hauling distance, were
carried down the river to such dis
tance that they will be total loss to
the company. The dam was injured
to some etxent, but this will be easily
repaired without much epxense. The
continuous rains 30 softenrd the roads
that hauling was made impossible and
the mill was necessarily closed down.
The Applegate Boom & Lumber Co.
have made extensive improvements in
their planning plant which is located
in town near the pine needle factory.
They have added to their mill build
ing and erected other buildings for the
accommodation Of finished stock.
They have added several car loads Of
shingles, SASH doors and mouldings,
and are conducting retail yard.
The company has new machinery
ordered and within a week will prob
ably have installed new resaw and
machine for making monldings.

FOR DIVERSIFIED FARMING
Josephine County Offers Induce
ments TO All

No country in the world is better
adapted to diversified farming than
is Southern Oregon. Hundreds Of
acres Of good table, bench and bottom
lands can be had at prices ranging
from s. to $50 per acre. All riv
bottom lands produce abundantly
without irrigation. However, most
complete system of irrigation is now
under construction throughout the
country, which, when completed, will
more than double the output of all
farm products It is nothing unusual
for farmers to cut from two to three
crops Of hay from irrigated meadows
10 one season The most profitable
farm products grown to any extent at
the present time are hay, hops, pota-
toes, onions, watermelons, straw
berries, peaches, prunes, apples, pears
and vegetables of all kinds. Grain
and corn are grown, but not very ex-
tensively; almosj all grain is cut tC
hay as this seems to yield a larger
profit to the farmer than the expensive
process of thresling.
Josephine County is destined to be
come the paradise Of the gardener and
fruit grower. This county has never
known a total failure of its crops.
Some of our best fruits are grown on
the bench and hill lands, which are
yet, however, little used for this pur-
pose. There are hundreds Of acres OF
this land now covered with brush and
producing nothing of value, which in
the near future will doubtless be
planted in fruit trees, bringing huud-
reds of dollars to their owners. These
lands are particularly adapted to fruit
growing because Of their freedom frou
frosts.
Three large rivers, besides numer-
ous smaller streams, flow through Jo-
sephine county, aifording ample sup.
ply Of water for all power, irrigatinR
and mining purposes. Notwithstand
ing the unlimited facilities and great
advantages to be derived from these
valuable rivers and streams, which
are available in every section Of the
county not until the past two or three
years have these great water privileges
been used to any great extent Out
siders from the Eastern states and from
our neighboring states in the west are
beginning to see tue great opportuni'
ties this county offers to the Investor,
and lands that are now considf red al
most valueless by our home people,
will, no doubt be producing richly OF
fruit, grain and vegetables.

r Russian Disaster.

Vienna, February 49, The Czech
Nardoni Lista" states that three Rus
sian regiments we're drowned while
attempting to cross Lake Baikal, the
ice opening for a distance of 200
yards.
A full Russian infantry regiment
consists of l6 companies and an
elaborate regimental staff, so that
this disaster, if the report of it be
confirmed, involves loss of not less
than 5000 lives.
a dispatch from St. Petersburg to a
Berlin paper, on February 10th, said
that 600 Russian soldiers had been
frozen to death in crossing Lake
Baikal The report said that as the
railroad across the lake had not been
| laid, it was believed that the men
had perished in attempting to march
from shore to shore. The ice field in
| Lake Baikal is frequently broken by
huge crevasses which delay traffic un.
| til the water in them has frozen to q
sufficient depth. A disaster of the
magnitude indicated, suggests that the
troops were crossing by the temporary
| railroad and that the crCvase was un-
seen in the darkness or that a storm
angulfed one train after another

Paris to New York Overland

Undoubtedly the first party to make
the journey overland from Paris to
New York by way Of Siberia and
Behring Straits, was that little com
pany of three under the leadership of
barry DoWindt, who is com ng TO
this city to lecture on Wednesday,
March ..
Regarding the scheme to build a
raj ailroad from Paris to New York,
Hurry DE Windt who explored the
proposed route, says; The day Will
undoubtedly come when the two
places will be jointed by rail, but
this generation cannot hope to make
the journey in that way. The cost of
building such road would probably
run up into tho hundreds of millions,
and while money enough could per
haps be raised, 1t would not be pay
ing Investment
The idea that Behring Straits might
be- bridgcd, he says, isa fantastic
dream. In the first place II is ~ miles
