GRANTS PASS MISTLET0Es1sss -
FOR RAIL WAY OFFICIALS
Generous Quantity Sent to Port

Hartman Roads.

The railroad officials in the Wor.
oester block in Portland in which is
located the general offices for the Har-
riman roads doing business in this
state, which embraces the Southern
Pacific. o. Il. & N, the Oregon
Short Line and the Union Pacific,
will have a generous supply of mistle-
toe for Christmas decorations at their
homes. Wednesday a drygoods box,
az large ss a small house, if the house
was not too big, packed to its full
capacity with choice mistletoe
boughs, was shipped to W. E. Conan,
assistant general freight agent Of
the Oregon Hartman lines, bearing
the compliments of H. E. Lounsbury,
travelling freight agent for Oregon for
the Hartman railroad and steamship
lines, and A. B. Cornell, until re-
Gently frst-trick operator in the
Grants Pass Southern Pacific Office.
Taking an hour of from his duties
of rustling business for his Company,
while the shippers of Josephine
county were pondering over the in
creasing depth of mud in the wagon
roads that was making it strenuous,
blasphemous job to get freight to or
:r I'M the railroad, Mr.. Lounsbury
and Mr.. Cornell made trip to one of
the oak groves In the outskirts of the
city. They took an express wagon
along and Mr.. Cornell went aloft in
the tree tops with the agility of a
sailor and cut out the large, choice
punches Of mistletoe, which he pass
ed below to Mr. Lounsbury, who
slowed cargo. And Mr.. Lounsbury
was quite as adept in freight handling
rs he is in freight rustling and he
kept shouting for more until Mr.. Cor
nell had denuded large section OF
the oak grove of its generous supply
o ( the bough that is SO dear to the
maiden's heart on Chistmas day. and
the aforesaid express wagon was SO
heavily loaded as to be in danger OF
turning turtle on the homeward trip.
Arriving at the depot the freight office
boys lent a willing hand, and the
biggest drygoods box to be had in
the city was procured and soon the
largest single consignment Of Distle-
toe that Express Agent Presley ever
sent from Grants Pass was ready fol
shipment.

ter he makes his address at the Far

ment He has been absent from the

to peritonitis, probably the result OF
septic poisoning.

an attempt TO learn il any of his pa
tients were missing but nothing was
found that could in any way implicate
the physician.

PARIS IS INDIGNANT
At venezueIa's Attitude
Toward Taigny.
Premier Rouvier Will Demand That
the Offensive Action be Disavowed.
Was Not Directed Against the
French Government.
(By the Associated Press. }

Paris, Sept. 22.-The offensive at
titude of Venezuela toward NJ. Taig-
ny, the French charge d'affaires, at
Caracas has aroused Indignation in
official quarters here. Although the
miniStery has not yet taken definite
action it is said in the highest quar-
ters that Premier Rouvier undoubted-
ly will demand that Venezuela dis
avow the offensive action and odopt
a course conformable with the usual
courtesies of diplomatic intercourse.
The Venezuelan authorities are now
seeking to show that their action was
directed against NJ. Taigny personal
ly and not against the French govern
ment. but the officials here do not
accept the distinction between NJ.
Taigny's personal and afficial capac-
ity.
The semi official Temps this even
iEg printed a leading article rejecting
official sentiment on the subject. 1t
said that Nj. Taigny has been order
ed to insist on Venezuela's with
drawing her positive refusal to deal
with him. If the withdrawal is made
and President Castro makes an apollo
gy then the negotiations Will contiue.
If Venezuela does not accede 1T VIII
be unwise to Immediately break off
diplomatic relations by the withdraw
al of NJ. Taigny since this would leave
French interests unprotected. The
best course would be for France ana
the United States to make a joint ma
val demonstration, similar to that in
which Grea Britain, Germany ana
Italy took part.
The authorities here say that aX-
changes will occur at Washington re-
, lative to the mutual interests invoiV-
ed in the controversies.
M. Jusserand, the French ambas-
sador to the United States, will sail
for New York tomorrow.

OF the new cases today only two
bear any resemblance to Italian
names. The first time Chinese name
has appeared on the list was today
The Chinese were supposed to be inn
munes because the orders eX-
hailed by opium smokers are not rel
ished by mosquitoes. The discovery
of this case. however, indicates that
there have been others which have
been concealed. The victims is Lee
Ming, and he was found dead in a
joss house on Elk Place where he had
been taken by his countrymen who
hoped to appease the wrath of his
ancestors. Surgeon Blue, who has
had experience in dealing with the
Chinese during the plague in san
Francisco. unearthed the case and an
autopsy confirmed the diagnosis.
Among the new cases is the case OF
Clark, of the Inspector of Police. Ten
of the new cases and six of the new
foci, are up town. Algiers is credited
with six of the new cases. OF the
deaths, one patient who contracted
the fever in a lodging house on

while in a detention camp. He was

fellow workman, who developed the
disease at the same time.
