VISIT KENTUCKY HOME
VIM. Bybee to Visit Home After
so Years.

VIM. Bybee, the pioneer and enter
prising citizen of Southern Oregon, is
preparing to visit his old home in
Kentucky after an absence Of half a
century and over, and where he will
be the guest Of his only brother. He
will also visit his only sister in
Texas. The Jacksonville Sentinel
says:
Mr.. Bybee has for nearly half
century been one of the leading
figures in the Rogue river valley
business world. As land owner he
was owned more land than any other
man. He has also been interested in
mines, but cattle and hogs were ven
lures in which he made the most
money. For more than 40 years Mr.
Bybee was the principal and much of
the time the only hog buyer in the
Rogue river valley and each fall he
would drive thouasnds of hogs TO the
distant mining camps. His principal
marketing point was at Happy Camp
in Del Norte county, though he drove
to all the other big camps in South
ern Oregon and Northern California
and he even made several drives to
the camps in Nevada. Mr., Bybee
states that the most enjoyable days Of
his life were those spent on the
drives, though some of the trips were
anything but pleasant for sometimes
he was caught in snow storm in
the mountain trails with his hogs and
then there were hardships in plenty.
Mr.. Bybee's father was noted stock
man Of Kentucky and in the days be-
fore railroads, drove thousands Of
head Of hogs and cattle to markets
in Virginia, North and South Carolina
and Georgia and to Cinoinnatti in the
days when that city was the great
pork packing center OF the world. Mr.
Bybee even when a small hoy assisted
in these long drives, which in making
the round trip required three months

BOX STOLEN
Robbers Escape With Thousands
of Booty.

While the Southern Pacific Com
pany's Sunset Limited train was
climbing the mountain between San
Luis Obispo aud San Ardo last We'd
nesday night the Wells Frago Com
panys treasure box was mysteriously
stolen out of the express car by some
unknown person or persons. Timothy
Sullivan. the messenger was in
another car and when he returned he
found the side door of the express car
open and the safe missing. The robber
or robbers gained an entrance to the
car through the end door, the lock of
which had been forced. Sullivan at
once notified the railway officials of
the robbery, and search for the
missing safe resulted in finding it
near tunnel No. 2 1t had been
broken into and the contents had been
taken with the exception Of a
valuable diamond, some checks and
other valuable papers.
The amount Of the treasure carried
in the safe has not yet been deter
mined. Express officials state that it
was only few hundred dollas, but
that there were some valuable papers
Estimates from tile scene Of the rob
berry place the amount as high as
$50, 900, but it is thought this estimate
is greatly exaggerated
One man is under arrest at San Luis
Obispo on suspicion of being one Of
the robbers The evidence against
him however, is only circumstantial
Slow progress Of the train would
permit Of the robbers entering the ex.
press car, throwing ont the safe and
jumping after 1t without danger

THE INFORMATION BUREAU
Good Work Accomplished Durins
the Year.


out the first year of the work of the
Oregon Information Bureau and this
report will aim to show what has
been accomplished. Various or
ganizations throughout the State have
been formed which cooperate with
our Bureau in assisting homeseekers
and those seeking investment to To-
cate with u.s. We have an EXHIBIT of
the products of the State gathered
from various counties from one end
of the state to the other, which en-
ables visitors to determine for them
selves what Oregon can do in the Ag-
ricultural, Horticultural, Mineral,
Lumber and Manufacturing indus.
tries. We have gathered descriptive
literature and statistical information
from nearly all the countries in the
State so that we are enabled to tell
what sections of the State are adapted
to the different pursuits and also to
give the price of lands in the various
counties. We have received 37S let.
ters. We have written S6l letters;
3l04 pieces of literature have been
mailed and l7,96S pieces otherwise
distributed 1916 visitors have regis
tered at the Bureau and have been
furnished information regarding the
various products of the State.
The press of the State have been
very friendly to us and have assisted
in numerous ways, by advertising the
Bureau and its objects. Thirty six
papers have placed us ON their free
list and our own city papers have
alway been ready to give us favor
able notice.
We have been enabled to make
numerous trips over the several trans
portation lines centering here, to
gather information and exhibits, by
the courtesy of the several officials
who appreciate the Importance and
value of the work being done by the
Bureau, and speak in the highest
terms of its accomplishments.
Visitors express surprise at the
wonderful productions of Oregon,
and many false impressions have been
corrected as to oF climatic and other
conditions.
Owing to the demand for exhibits
for other attractions, we have been
somewhat handicapped in securing
exhibits that were promised US, but
as they are all for the same object,
the advertising of Oregon, we have
made greater efforts and secured
others in their place.
While number of persons have re-
ported as locating in the State, the
actual number is very difficult to de-
termine, but we arc confident the
seed sown has already begun to mani
fest itself and we predict the future
harvest will be very large. We have
record of l04 individuals who ac-
knowledge obtaining information
through this Bureau that has enabled
them to locate satisfactorily in the
state. The largest investment noted
by any one individual is $50, 900.
Averaging the balance to represent
81, 600 each to the state, the money
already expended proves wise in
vestment and the future returns are
beyond compute.

TO CLIMB MOUNT SHASTA
Ma zamas May Make the Trip
Next Summer.

Dazamas will scale Mount Shasta
this year unless the sentiment of the
organization shall change before next
summer. Shasta is one of the
loftlost peaks on the American conti-
nent, being Il, 400 feet high, yet is
not hazardous mountain to ascend.
Last summers trip to Three Sisters
was spoiled at the last minute by
collapse of arrangements. However,
a party of half dozen Mazamas car
ried the emblem of the club to the
SUBMITS of the three peaks.
Mount Baker, in Washington, will
probably be climbed by a small party,
as plans are now forming for that
feat. Few persons have ever reached
the extreme heights Of Baker.
