naturalist. Like Washington, he IL

and greatness are known the world

WALDO


The placer mines OF this district
have started up, though a week later
there will be plenty of water for a
long mining season. The rains Of the
! t two weeks have been heavy
enough to raise the streams and there
is a big reserve supply of water in the
hills and mountains, which are
covered with snow. In the high
mo untains about the headwaters Of
the Illinois river the snow fall has
been very heavy and coming so early
in the Winter will insure a big re-
serve supply Of snow to hold the
streams up late in the spring.
The Winter term Of the Waldo |
school began on Monday of last week
with an enrolment of 81. The school
is in charge of Chas. +. Chessman.
Mr.. Chessman is graduate Of Har-
ward and post graduate Of the Uni I
versity of California. On the com
pletion Of his college studies he was
given a position in the Eastern Ore
gon State Normal school at Weston. |
When the Weston normal was closed |
last spring by failure to receive the !
state opportionment, Prof. Chessman
went to Southern California. Soon
after arriving there he was taken
with typhoid fever which left his
health in feeble condition. Hoping
that the bracing climate of Rogue
River Valley would restore his health
he came here and secured the Waldo
school Prof. Cllessman is a man of
fine attainments and aD energetic
man and we expect thai our school
will be one of the most successful in
Josephine county. Prof Chessman
has his wife with him. She is a most
charming lady and i. making many
friends in our community.
A number of our farmers are plan
ming to secure farmers institute for
this place in February, at the time
that DR.. Withycombe holds his series
of institutes in Rogue River Valley
There is considerable farming aud
stock raising now done in the Illinois
Valley, but the agricultural resources
of the Valley are not as yet one

by those familiar with Southern Ore

climate and the soil to make of it

Illinois river is the chief tributary
of Rogue river and has valley of 40
miles long and % miles wide. This
watershed embraces a large number
Of small streams, the valleys of which,
tog ther with that of the main river,
will become rich farming districts

of our valley and to so demonstrate
them IN broad meadows and fields,
well kept orchards, fine cattle, hogs,
horses, sheep and goats and good ap-

HOSE AND HOSE CART CONTRACT
Former at 65 Cents Per Foot Latter
at $124

The Goodman-Thompson Hardware
Co. was awarded the contract for sup
plying the city with 500 feet of hose
at meeting of the fire and water
committee this morning.
Bids were submitted by the follow
ing firms: d. S. Butler & Co., Port
land; w. r. Withee, Pendleton; A. G.
Long, Portland; II. ]. Stillman, Pen
dleton; I. C. Taylor, Pendleton, and
Goodman-Thompson Co. The latter
having made the lowest price for the
grade of hose desired, was awarded
the contract. Their price was 65
cents per foot for single jacket, rub
ber lined, cotton hose. The price is
(. o. b. Pendleton, and the hose is to
be shipped at once.
The hose is to be used on the hill
in the south end of town. While the
pressure in that locality is light, a
good grade of hose was secured be-
cause of the possibility of its being
needed in the lower portions of town,
where the pressure is greater.
T. T, Nelson was given the con-
tract for making the hose cart. He
was the only local bidder and the
price for which the cart is to be
made is $124.

Honolulu. March 2.-The report of
"a chemist removes the last doubt as
ITO the cause of the death of Mrs.
Stanford. An analysis of the contents
of the bottle of carbonate of soda dis
closes the presence of a large quanti-
ty of strychnine. According to the
statement of Mis- Berner, the secre-
tary. and May Hunt, the maid, the
bottle was brought from the medicine
chest at San Francisco and unopened
until Tuesday night, when the fatal
dose was taken. This proves conclu-
sively that the death was the result
of plot formed in California over
month ago. The fact that the poi
son was in the soda which Mrs. STAN
ford was accustomed to take, indi-
Gates 1t was put there by some one
familiar with her habits.
There is some talk of suicide. It
is said that Mrs Stanford brooded
a great deal since Christmas and the
poison was ever in her mind, and 1t
is thought by some she wished to
hasten the end. She yearned to leave
a life of loneliness and Join her hus-
band and SON she talked much of
spirit visitation. The suicide theory
is, however, utterly discredited by
her friends.
A death mask was taken last night,

the theory of methodical poison. Mrs.
Stanford's attendants are being in
vestigated. That Mrs. Stanford ad-
ministered the poison herself is scout
ed by the police, who point out that
while she was a woman of advanced
years and lonesome, she was well as
at all times, we'll balanced, and not
of temperament that would permit the
contemplation of suicide.
When the reports of the Honolulu
chemists is received it is not unlikely
the local authorities will order GER
tain arrests made, and that various
persons will be detained, at least un-
til the present investigation is con-
cluded

San Francisco. March I'm the
absence of further explicit informa-
tion from Honolulu today, Montford
Wilson, attorney for Mrs. Stanford.
and Chief of Police Spillaine are ex-
tremely reticent in the matter of the
tragic taking off of Mrs. Stanford.
While the former is anxiously
awaiting the arrival of further cabled
news, Spillaine has concluded the
hour is at hand to launch a rigid
painstaking investigation of the whole
affair, The police are therefore qui-
city taking up the examination of the
poisoning which is said to have been
attempted I'm this city, at the Stan
ford home during January, and re-
gardless of whatever may develop at
Honolulu, the authorities here will go
to the bottom Of the affair Whether
Mrs. Stanford was the victim of foul
play or not, the police department
here will fortify itself with all the
obtainable facts, and will even make
arrests if independent Investigations
seem to warrant.
In the meantime they have cabled
the high sheriff at Honolulu urging
an autopsy, and the chemists report
he hurried here, and that every pre-
caution be taken TO surround the mys-
Sery.
Spillaine is not prepared to express
an opinion in the matter, or to make
public the steps taken, but says he is
abreast of the case and will run to
earth the responsible parties. If the
evidence shows that Mrs. Stanford
was murdered.
Waiting for Chemists Report.
Attorney Wilson preserves a studied
and careful reticence, but it is plain
that he is wrought up by information |
received last night of the discovery of |
poison in the bicarbonate of soda and |
OF the fact that the lungs of the dead |
woman betrayed symptoms of death |
due to poisoning.
I'VE have formed no definite idea |
I'm the matter at all" said Mr.. Wilson, !
"and II is plain we will not be war
ranted in so doing until the chem
lists report is filed.
ut is we'll nigh unbelievable that |
anyone would seek to injure Mrs.
Stanford, but We are in momentary
expectation of further and more
definite news and until it arrives have
nothing to say"
