TEMPERANCE IN JACKSON
The First Society Was Organized
In Jacksonville In 1856.

The present prohibition campaign
in Jackson county is not a recent
growth, but dates from pioneer days
when the first settlers iu this valley
took up the cause of temperance with
quite as much yigor as oharacterizes
the advocates of today. The first
temperance society in Southern Ore
gon was organized in Jacksonville In
the spring of 1856 and was lodge of
the Sons of Temperance, an order that
at that time, was quite extensive In
the United States 1t was secret
society and the Jacksonville lodge
was known as Table Rock Division
No. 10, and was organized under
a charter granted by the Grand Di-
vision of the Territory of Oregon and
was issued at Salem May 1, 1856, and
signed by Thos. Ward, G., W. p, and
by Charles II. Hall. G. s. The old
charter. yellow with age, is yet in
Jacksonville and is in the possession
of David Linn, who intends to present
it to the Oregon Historical Society.
Mr.. Linn was one of the charter mem
bers, the other names registered on
the charter being s, II. Taylor, VIM.

Nerve Re- Acking Experience.

II. S. Williams who lives 3 miles
out Of Ashland was in town last Tues.
day afternoon, and went down to the
afternoon train with a friend who was
going away. He stayed with him un-
til the train started and then jumped
OFF, bat missed his footing In some
way and fell on the track just back Of
the front wheels, partially stunned by
the fall. At this moment, Robert
Boon of the round house force, closely
followed by Chief Of Police Geo
Eglin ran to his aid, and as Boon
Rrasped at Mr.. Williams, his foot slip
ped and he likewise fell partially on
the track. At this critical moment
when every one seemed frozen to
stone at the expected double catastro-
phe, the chief arrived grasping
Williams by the collar with what aid
he got from Boon, they succeeded in
getting him of the track as the train
sped by. Mr. Williams will suffer no
bad results from his accident except a
sore hand and bruised leg from hi,

LOST SOLDIER" IS FOUND
So II Is Believed by Douglas
County Citizens.

1t is now believed that the long
discussed "Lost Soldier" ledge has
been found. Peter West has arrived
in Portland from the West Fork of
Cow Greek, in Douglas County, and
states that two men named Benson
have found some quartz that appears
to be almost half gold. The two men
were inclined to be somewhat secre-
tive as to the exact location of the
newly found ledge, bat said that it
was situated high up IN the Coast
Range Mountains, on slope border
ing on u small stream that is tribu-
tary to one fork of the Coqullle River.
The quartz displayed by the Bensons
is Of rusty appearance and half de-
cayed, indicating that the gold could
be separated from the quartz by the
most ord mary methods.
The two men came out for supplies,
and will return to the scene of their
new discovery. They were not in
olined to discuss the probable extent
Of their find, and it may be only a
pocket.
1t is thought possible the BeDsons
have found the ledge that was dis
covered by party of soldiers 80 years
ago, a body of ore that has been much
sought. The Oldest settlers in Cow
Greek Valley that are still living, re-
member the little party Of soldiers
that reached there one day half starv-
ed, their clothes torn in tatters by
the brush, and carrying chunks OF
quartz tLat appeared to be half gold.

MIDNIGHT RUNAWAY
District Attorney Reames and Roy
Brisgs Have an Experience.

District Attorney A. Il. Reames had
quito an exciting adventure near this
city last Wednesday night and is for
tunate in escaping from the predica-
ment without serious injury.
Mr.. Reames had been out to the
southern end Of the county with o
team and in company with Roy
Briggs, the discoyorer OF the famous
Sucker creek BONANZA, was making a
night drive to Grants Pass. II was
probably between and O'Clock
in the morning when they neared the
vicinity Of the Allen creek bridge, q
mile and half out OF town. They
were driving a spirited team from the
Lister stables and though the moon
was shining, 1t was quite dark in
the timber. AS they were driving at
rapid rate one Of the horses sud
denly fell Mr.. Reames was preoipi-
tated over the dashboard on the
horses, but was fortunate enough to
roll clear of the melee, losing the
lines in the operation. The team
started to run and Roy Briggs, find
ing himself in runaway outfit,
without any lines in evidence,
promptly jumped out before the pace
became porilous.
The team ran only very short dis
tance before they left the road and
plunged into the timber where they
reduced the vehicle to kindling wood
in short order. The horses became
involved in hopeless tangle of brush
and harness and were soon secured,
The runaway was brief but exciting.
The horses were uninjured but the
vehicle was literally torn to pieces.
Attorney ReameH and Roy Briggi
made the remainder Of the journey tC
town on foot, leading the horses ant
packing" their luggage.

LEWIS & CLARK FAIR RATES
Railroads Give Low Fare tC
the Coast.

Saturdays Oregonian announces the
rate of $40 to the Lewis and Clark
Exposition next year, as decided upon
by the Passenger Association.
The rate of $i5 from Missouri River
points is pronounced by railroad men
the lowest round trip rate ever al
lowed from the Middle West to the
Northwest. 1t gives assurance, they
say that there will be unprecedented
travel during the Exposition next
year.
A comparison of corresponding
rates Of the past shows the advantage
Portland has already secured by the
$40 rate The fare is SG7 %, while
next year the Missourian can come to
Portland and go back again, for si5,
or just 81. 30 less than il cost to at
tend the st. Louis Exposition from
the Coast. The lowest rate from the
Missouri River ever before recorded
is $52, which was allowed to the
homoseekers last year.
A rate of $40 will bring many
people. There are thousands of peo-
pie who will not be willing to over
look rate like that when It applies
to the great Western country, and
even without further reduction, un-
usual traffic is assured for next year,
According to the terms Of the Pass
enger Associations decision. tickets
from points in the far East will bc
sold at one rate for return tickets.
These rates, as well as those from
Missouri River points, will be IN
effect four or five days in each month.

As result of tho investigations Of

the Interior during the past two
weeks, Harry W. Miller was arrested
and taken from the northbound sat
Roseburg under arrest on a charge of
attempting to defraud the United

Miller came to Medford from Little
Rock about the first of last Septem-
ber. simultaneously with his arriya
there commenced to be made great
number of timber land filings in town
ships 40 and Al south, ranges 2 and 3
west. The fact that these filings were
made in almost solid blocks and the
further fact that many of them were
made by persons who it was alleged
were not of suclfiient means to pay
the expense of location, advertising
and to pay s4OO for the land when the
proofs were had, led the Government
land officials to suspect an irregular
ity.
The attention of the General Land
Office was called to the matter and
special agents were sent to investi-
gate. Miller is supposed to have
learned that inquiries were in pro-
gress and left here Saturday night for
the north, but was able to get as far
as Roseburg only when he was stop
ped.
Miller was supposed to represent an
Eastern company ready to pay out the
money when proofs are made Con-
tracts of this nature were entered into
between the parties to this effect.
Miller, while operating here with
confederates, deluded his victims into
the belief that they would be paid 40

weapon. Harold Jackson was about
80 feet away at the time, but several
of the shot entered his body and
pierced the abdomen, The Caseber
boy Immediately gave the alarm, and
the wounded lad was carried home,

Grants Pass more o: less for the past
five years, died ON Friday morning
from the effects of an overdose of
laudanum.
Mr.. Hutchinson had for several
days been about Listers livery stable

pecially preceding his death, he ap-
peared like man nearly exhausted

tent of inconvenience to proprietor
