The ENGLISH
CROW HOSTILE
Speech of COant Okuma Threatening
England's Indian Interests Stirs
Up British Press.

Peking, Nov. 21.-The speech de.
livered at Kobe by Count Okuma
who was at one time head of the
progressive party in Japan, in which
he declared that Japan would sorely
disappoint the people of India as well
as ignore the opportunities given by
Heaven if she failed to afford pro-
lection to the millions of Indians
now being oppressed by Europe, has
caused great excitement In this Sec
tion of the empire the Japanese ex-
pansion movement is interfering
greatly with British interests and
there is open warfare between Japan
ese and British merchants.
Since last May Englishmen have
been the leaders in the anti-Japanese
campaign in Peking and Tien Tsin.
The Times, which is the principal
British organ in North China, gives
expression to the 'deep-seated smol
dering wrath" of Britons in the Far
East, and accepts Count Okumas as
a national expression.
They reveal, this paper declares,
''the cloven hoof and the attitude of
a precocious and ill-mannered baby
among the uivilized nations toward a
country, the support of which gave
her her present position in the world.
We hope that the revelations made
by Count Okuma will open the eyes
of King Edward and his country
men, as the eyes of the Britons were
opened long ago."
The pro-Japanese British press in
the south of China has recently in
dicated its purpose of fighting the
Japanese, "whose operations" 1t is
declared, "now conflict with those of
Great Britain from the Yang Use to
Manchuria" One paper expresses
the conviction that agitation of the
present situation probably will result
in breaking up the Anglo-Japanese
alliance.

Dee Fisher Gets Small Amount for
Wounded Feelings in Alienated
Affections Case.

! The tgalye jurors in the now his
torical Fisher-Eig gimme suit awarded
damages to Dee Fisher in the sum of

ing two or three days to the story
of Mrs. Fishers relations with the

dollars was too much money.

BRUCE: CRIGGSS
DENIED STORY
Said Reports of Overloaded Steam
ers Published in Chelan Papers
Were Unfounded.

/ Manager Bruce Griggs of the Col.
umbia & Okanogan Steamboat Com.
pany, was a business visitor in Che
tlan Tuesday afternoon and Wednes-
day morning. He was on his way
up the river as far as Brewster in
the interests of his company's affairs
while in town he called at the Lead
er Office to protest against the item
published two weeks ago in this
paper to the effect that patrons of
the river steamers were charging the
company with overlooking it's boats.
Mr.. Griggs says there is no founda-
tion in fact for such a charge; that
he can show by the company's books
that the passenger boats not only
are not overloaded, but are never
loaded to their full chartered tom
mage by large margin. The Lead
er had no notion of making a fight
on the steamboat company in this
matter, or even of criticising the
management of it's business; it SIM
ply reported as matter of current
news and comment the charges made
by several Chelan citizens who have
Travelled on the river recently. 1t
is recognized that the company, al
ways best by difficulties in navigat-
ing the turbulent Columbia, is par
ticularly hard pressed this year, with
tremendous crops of both wheat and
fruit to move, and must be expect
ed to make the most of it's facilities
to meet the unusual demands made
upon it by shippers. This paper
would not wish to injure the steam
boat company's business nor ham
per its management in any way; nor
would it wish to unduly alarm those
who from choice or necessity would
be passengers on the river steamers.
But it believes that the lives of our
people, who must necessarily depend
on this means of transportation, are
worthy of consideration before aay
business interests; and for that rea-
son, when numerous complaints of
overlooking reached this Office, it
was thought proper that the pub
lie should know it. 1t is matter
of qualification to have Manager
Grigg's official denial of the business
of the complaints, and his personal
assurance that every reasonable pre-
safety of passengers r-Chelan Lead

Tells GLOWING
OREGON TALES
Clarence Wheeler Gives GraDhic
Description of New Canaan
at MedfOrd.

Fairy tales of the magic land of
Medford are being told by Clarence
Wheeler, since his return from the
Utopia of Southern Oregon.
Mr.. Wheeler, who until a few
months ago was one of the oldest
and best known settlers in Wenat-
chee, is agin in the city for short
visit. He is now living at Medford,
Oregon, where he went some months
ago and purchased grist mill and
other properties.
Speaking of his new location with
a World representative yesterday,
Mr.. Wheeler said:
.tMedford, in the heart of the IA
nous Rogue River district in South
ern Oregon, is a beautiful, well laid
out city OF probably 1900 or 5000
people. 1t is not, in any sense, new
town, though it has within the past
year or so taken on marvellous
growth, and is universally conceded
to be the coming metropolis of
Southern Oregon. 1t is about 335
miles south of Portland, and some
400 miles north of Sacramento, sit
uated on the main line of the South
ern Pacific, few miles north of the
California line
The Rogue River valley proper is
probably 10 miles wide and 80 miles
long, though there is much contigu-
Gus territory in adjacent valleys and
slopes that is highly suitable for ex-
cellent fruit growing.
The land is, I think, equally as
good as Wenatchee land, though It
may in places require different treat.
ment Where irrigation is practiced
the results are very gratifying.
though as yet water is not extensive
ly used on the land.
Fruit of all kinds grows abund-
antly, Southern Oregon apples of the
|Spitz and Yellow Newtown varieties
and the famous Comice pears, being
in demand in eastern markets. The
Comice pears have sold for !. more
than IS box, while the apples read
lily bring as much as the Wenatchee
fproduct The freight rates to east
ern markets are as good as from any
point in the west.
Medford itself is growing rapidly.
IA man said to me just before
left that he had counted 134 new
residence which were either under
construction, or had been completed
but short time before. As an evi-
dence of the towns prosperous in
habitants I am told that over 60
automobiles are owned in the city
the streets are full of them.

attle, North Yakima. and many other
parts of the Northwest.

with my new location; l am making
little money out of ny mill, and
have bought some other property"

part Of next week for his new home

Deer Eat the BIG Ones.

Spearfish, S. D.-Deer that eat p0
tatoes and despoil the patches of pros
pectors have furnished the latest topic
for the nature takers whom the Presi
dent has been busily denouncing.
Near Mineral Hill lives John Nee,
han, who works number of claims
during the winter and cultivates a
truck garden in the summer. Meehan
declares that deer in his vicinity are
becoming so plentiful that for three
nights past they have entered his po.
tato patch and gone from hill to hill,
digging up the vegetables and eating
them. He sat up the third night and
witnessed the performance. As the
deer season is not open, he could not
kill them, but drove them away.
The deer, he said, ate only the large
potatoes and paid no attention to the
smaller ones.

Judqe Finds Work Too sorrowful.

New York-Magistrate Fred House
is about to resign his position on the
bench and turn farmer. He says he is
going up to the Maine backwoods,
away from the noise and hustle of city
life and the long lines of sad faces
which his duties of magistrate obliged
him to gaze on morning after morning
until the sight sickened him. The un-
dercrust of city life which he saw
turned up in the courts sometimes nine
Eours in the day; the broken tale of
some wife whose husband had beaten
her; the cases which recalled to him
SC often Hoods Son of the Shirt" ="
have so worked upon House that he
would certainly collapse should cir
cumstances prolong his term much
longer.
House found that he was unable to
listen unmoved to the recital of all the
narrowing details which We're poured
into his ear day by day. Often after
some peculiarly distressing case he
has been seen in tears, and he said
this morning that his work on the
bench has placed him under a more
severe strain than he ever suffered
before.
81 finally realized that l ought to
yield to the advice of my physician
and my friends" he said today. "They
have for four or five years importuned
me to go away from the maddening
crowd. l am going to remain on a

years somewhere near the water and
l shall turn farmer. / shall just have
to forsake the noise and the things ]

Left-Handed mnnards" No Bar.

Terre Haute, Ind.-Ira C. Salyards.
with his heart, liver, spleen ana
lungs on the other side of his body
from their proper positions, has been
accepted as an able-bodied soldier in
Uncle Sans army after six months of
examinations and deliberations by
army surgeons. He has stood all the
tests they could invent to discover If
his transposed viscera made him in
capable of performing the duties of
soldier
Although not frequent, many cases
have been reported of the heart being
on the right side of the body. but it
is said that there are only forty cases,
in all medical history. of such derange-
ment of mans 'innards" as the X-ray
disclosed in this stalwart interurban
motorman.
When six months ago the depart
ment at Washington was asked for in
structions the department declined to
pass on the case and the recruiting
officer sent Salyards to the barracks
at Columbus, Ohio, where he was
tested in many ways. He was given
long fatigue marches and stood them
as well as could be expected of any
able bodied man. He was kept on
duty all night and the strain had no
more effect on him than it would have
on a normal man, and so it was with
many tests.
Salyards, who is thirtyfour years
old, recently became a widower, and
this led him to decide to enter the
army. He had known from boyhood
that his heart was on the right side,
but the X-ray disclosure that his lungs
were so disarranged that the arteries
entered from the wrong side of his
body. and that his spleen and liver
had been specially placed for him,
came as a surprise. He is six feet
tall and weighs IFS pounds. He was
reared on a farm in Sullivan county.

ALBERT sHAFFER is CLEARED.
coroners Jury Gave Verdict Of Justi-
fable Killing.

Golden, Colo.-Albert Shaffer, who
shot and killed Grant McQueary at
Shaffer's crossing, thirty miles south
of Golden, was given his liberty at the
conclusion of the coroner's inquest
held here. The jury found that Nc
Queary came to his death by wound
caused by a shot from rifle in the
hands of Albert Shaffer, and that said
wound was inflicted by Shaffer in the
necessary defense of his life.
The only eye-witnesses to the shoot
ing were Charles Shaffer, brother of
the young man who did the shooting,
Pearl Shaffer, wife of Charles, and Will
bert Matthews, thirteen-year-ol boy.
who was at the Shaffer ranch at the
time. All told the same story of how
McQueary had come out early Friday
morning, had accused Bert Shaffer OF
stealing ties which he had piled on
tract of government land near by and
had finally attacked him, first with
rock and later with a piece of gas
pipe five feet long.
Young Shaffer stated that he knew
McQueary had violent temper and
when angry would use anything he
could get hold of as weapon. He at
tempted to run away, but when finally
cornered, grabbed his rifle and shot
without turning around to take aim.
The bullet pierced McQueary's heart
and he died Instantly.
Other witnesses who testified were
Charles B. Coatney, who came upon
the scene of the tragedy few minutes
later, and DR.. d. E. Garvin of this city,
who testified as to the extent of the
bruises on young Shaffer's body as the
result of McQueary's blows.
No one appeared at the inquest to
say word in behalf of the dead man,
although it is said that in there own
neighborhood there is considerable
feeling against the Shaffer family. For
many years McQueary has been con
nected with the lumber interests of
southern and western Jefferson county
and lately has lived with his wife and
two children on mountain ranch ad-
joining the Shaffer place.

"Pshawn he exclaimed. with 500
Venezuelans l could have taken it in
