CHARGES CRIMINAL LIBEL.
Grants Pass Editor Must Answer for
callinu Man an Ass.

Grants Pass. Ore. June 7.--Arthur
conkIin, ex-presdent Of the Oregon
Editorial Association and editor Of
the Grants Pass Mining Journal, has
been sued for criminal libel BY Robert
smith. candidate for representative
from Josephine county on the demo-
cratic ticket. Mr.. conkiin has been
bound over to appear for trial at the
July term Of circuit court.
The trouble came about through the
unkind things the Mining Journal said
about drawing TO a close. The cam
paign, though quiet one for some
time. waxed hot and bitter at the close,
and Mr.. Smith, the head OF the demo-
cratic ticket, was the object Of attack
of the entire republican press Of the
county. Among the alleged libeious
statements mentioned In the indict-
ment. and which were published In the
Journal was that OF branding Mr.
Smith ian ass," "a man with no moral
character or honesty" 1t was also
stated that IAN old lady by the name
Of sarah Lewis. a widow. had Smith
collect some money. and after collect
Ing ii he failed to turn It over. He
finally admitted he used II and would
give her his notes for same. Not be-
ing able TO collect the notes, she went
to court and secured q Judgment foi
1924, which judgment has never been
| paid" II was also stated in the same
| issue Of the Journal that smith repudi-
ates paying the just taxes 70 the coun'
| ty and city In which he has taxable

SELF TORTURE BY INDIANS.

MutiIation Endured by Drunken sav-
 ages to Show Their Courage.
 Edward Field, who recently arrived at Yorktown, Man., reported the drunk en orgies of Indians who held potlach at Fishing River. Inspired by whisky supplied by trader, the Indians held a sun dance. This did not content some who wanted a potlach, in which knives are freely used to test the cour- age of the Indian braves.
 One got his companions to cut the tendons of his back to insert sticks after the custom of the ancient dances, but could not bear the pain when one tendon had been cut. Another put pine needles in his arms and then applied a light to them, severely burning himself, but his bravery was established when he bore the pain without murmur.
 Others slashed themselves with knives, inficting bad flesh wounds, and then retired from the dance to be at- tended by medicine men. The dance continued for three nights, more than a hundred Indians taking part in the performance on the snow, with the temperature 30 degrees below zero.

IF THE LAPS LOSE.
It Is Said They Will Blow Up Their Ships Rather Than Surrender

Despite the lesson of the Boer war, the Japanese did very little open order and extended formation work in their last maneuvers, but operated in solid masses as trim and right angled as though shaped with spirit level, says the Yokohama correspondent of the London Mail in Japan. When Field Marshal Marquis Yamagata was asked if Japan would not change her field tactics to suit the conditions of mod ern fighting he replied:
 Japan will reveal her tactics in bat tie. Be sure that they will be those necessary to insure victory
 This was not the self confidence of the unbeaten warrior, but the expres- sion of the only spirit Japan knows, for she never considers defeat even as a remote possibility.
 On the sea officers and men are spoil ing for fight. From the crews of the huge Mikasa and her sister battleships down to the men on such craft as the White Naped Crane and the Dragons Lamp-torpedo destroyers-they are swearing by every ancestor that, if let loose, they will sink or capture each consonantly named Russian warship in the Pacific And do they not contem- plate a possible defeat? Yes; but cap ture no. Never will 8 Japanese ship, high or low, go into port prize.
 When the turrets are damned and the big guns dumb, when the screws are still and all defense is dead and done, the men chosen by lot before the of will fhnir station in the heart of the ship per form "the last full measure of devo- ton" in exploding the magazines, and the sixteen petaled chrysanthemum on the imperial standard will go deep down in a welter of blood and steam and smoke till, "streaked with ash and sleeked with oil, the lukewarm whirl- pools close"

TROLLEYS IN THE WOODS.
Advantages of Electric Railroads to
 the Adir0ndacks.


 the AdirOndacks.
 The announcement of Paul Smith, the veteran guide and hotel keeper of the Adirondacks, that several electric railroads will soon be running through out the wilderness is like Wagner's s music, mot so bad as it sounds,'' says the New York World.
 Of course it rather interferes with the pristine wildness of the woods to be charged upon by gong changing trolley car when one is expecting a bear at the very least, but the trolley car has it's points"
 In the terrible drought of last spring most of the fires that devastated the wilderness as it had never been before were set by sparks from railroad en- zines. Many suits for damages are now pending against the railroad com panies by owners of burned forest lands. If their point can be sustained by law the railroad companies them selves may be forced in self protection to- use electric power, which, wired from the abundant waterfalls of the woods, would not endanger the forest in time of drought. .t, e- +<<.
 Another great advantage of the trol ley for woods use is that 1t can sur mount any reasonable grade, whereas the steam railroad has to stick to the level or make a level for itself at great cost. On the whole, the woods have worse enemies than the trolley cal scberner-s
