BAD JAIL BIRD CUTS
BARS AND ESCAPES
Uses Case Knife With Good Ef-
fect and Makes Escape in
Broad Daylight.

Jim" ,MoOumber, orook..who i,
becoming rather notorious in this mech
OF the woods is just now endeavorine
to elude Sheriff Russell's visilant eye
and thus tar he has succeeded ad
nirably.
Sunday afternoon, while everyone
around the courthouse was enjoying
the quiet of the day, Jim" got IL
his work and by the use OF knife,
which he had made into a saw blade,
he proceeded to cut one of the iron
bars and he sawed the obstacle,
which measures about three-quarters
Of an inch through, with much ease.
Other prisoners, in cells across the
corridors, heard and even saw what
was going on and after the "bird'
had flown, they raised the alarm,
which was heard on the outside an d
Sheriff Russell was at once communi-
Gated with.
McCumber is an old offender of
the law and had only been out of the
county Jail on another bad charge,
when he proceeded to touch" a
party at Leland for $40, as he was
assisting in putting said party to
bed, the individual being somewhat
under the influence of liquor. Jim"
was caught red-handed aud was
brought to the county bastile, where
lie was awaiting the pleasure Of the
circuit court, which convenes on the
2Sd inst.
Sheriff Russell has been securing
the country for miles around in quest
OF the fugitive and he has seut a de-
scription to the various officials, all
up and down the railroad. McCumber
was seen near Leland, since making
his escape, but thus far he has not
been apprehended.
He is described as being 25 years
old, five feet, nine inches tall, dark
hair, blue eyes, very fair complexion
and weighing 40 pounds. He has
very hne teeth, some scars on his left
cheek and when last seen, wore
dark, small checked suit, black, mar.
row. .brimmed hat and shoes that
were nearly new. Any infornation
regarding his whereabouts should be
at once forwarded to Sheriff Russell

BOLD BURGLARS
CRACK LOCAL SAFE
Borrow Buggy to Cart Cash Box
out to Fields Whore II is
Sm ashod Open.

Grants Pass was treated to some.
what Of surprise, Wednesday morn.
ing, when it was noised abroad that
the safe Of Kinney & Truax had been
broken into the night before and
rified Of something like 5000 in cash
and some small checks. Investigation
confirmed the reports, showing that
the party or parties had borrowed the
s. p. trucks from the depot with
which to cart the small safe out to
the Sidewalk: and also taking buggy
from the barn Of Lee Calvert's place
on Seventh street, wherein the safe
was conveyed to .one of the vacant
lots in Sherman addition and an Ak
belonging to H. Horning was pur-
loined and with this the door OF the
cash box was .smashed in and its con.
tents obtained.
The theft, while rather smooth,
was not very difficult one to make,
but just how the party gained an en-
trance into the. store remains mys.
terry. After getting in it would be an
easy matter to get out, as the lock is
one OF the slip-lstch variety. The
paddock on the vault door was twisted
until it gave way and then it was an
easy matter to lift out the safe and
cart it away. No visible traces were
left, except.the marks of the trucks
and the place showing that the safe
had been dragged bit,
About midnight a citizen saw
party wheeling the truck along the
main business street Of the city and
was somewhat struck with the un-
usual sight. But he was not i'm
pressed enough with the sight to
raise an alarm or even suspect that
anything wrong was !going on. 1t is
said that he will be able to identify
the party who hauled the trucks.
Rumor has it that local party is
suspected OF having committed the
burglary and Messrs Kinney &
Truar say that the person thus ac.
cused has been in aud around the
place a number OF times Of late and
that there are some pretty strong in.
dications that he may be the man
who is wanted.
The officers are pursuing the proofs
and are endeavoring to unearth the
guilty man, who, when found will be
summarily dealt with according to
law.
Rev. Frederick C. Williams will
hold services at st, Luke's Episcopal
Monday evening, September

The Oregon and WASHINGTON

The Oregon and Washington
Lumber Manufacturers .isso-
citation, of 30 Washington st.
Portland Greg. sends us some
circulars from which we quote as
follows:
"rhc lumbermen of Oregon and
Washington have contended from
the commencement of the agita-
ton regarding the advanced
Eastern rate effective November
LIST that it would drive Coast lum-
Der practically entirely out of
Colorado. That this is the
actual fact is borne out by the
letters which have been received
by the Timbcrman, of Portland.
Oregon. from its correspondents
throughout Colorado. These
letters tell their own story and
form the most conclusive evidence
that the effect of the increased
rate will seriously handicap the
lumbcrmcn of Oregon and Wash
ington and the Northwest in their
competition with yellow pine
lumber from Southern States.
The average rate on lumber from
the south to Colorado points is 81
cents. The present rate from
Oregon and Washington is 40
cents per hundred pounds. The
new rate effective November lst
will be 30 cents per hundred
pounds. making Il difference of IL
cents per hundred pounds in favor
of Southern lumber men as against
cost manufacturers. A thousand
feat of ordinary rough lumber
weighs $500 pounds. With an
arbitrary charge of Is cents to
overcome. which equals $3.50 per
Thousand feet. it is plainly evident
that any idea Of competition is
entirely removed.
sin Canada the railroad COM
panles are not permitted to change
their rates without consent of the
Railroad Commission. In many
respects it would seem as if this
