BRANDENBERG ARRESTED.
Man Who Sold Cleveland Letter
Charged with Forgery and
Grand Larceny.

Dayton, Ohio, Oct. 22.-As he was
boarding train for New York city
here this afternoon, Broughton Bran
denburg was arrested by local detec-
tives on the charge of forgery and
grand larceny. A telegram from the
New York city police department ad-
vised the local department to hold
Brandenburg. He is alleged to have
sold the New York Times letter
which he represented to have been
written by Grover Cleveland, in
which the dead statesman predicted
the election of Taft, and which letter
is now declared to have been a for
gerry.
Brandcnburg was locked up in the
police station, as the amount Of his
bail was not fixed. Tt was said by
his attorney tonight that if his client
was not released tomorrow he would
institute proceedings.
In a statement issued tonight Bran
denburg says he had the proper auth
GRITTY from Mrs. Cleveland and from
Mr.. Hastings, cocXccutors Of The
\ Cleveland estate, before he sold the
5article to the Times and furthermore
Disks il it is reasonable that any sane
Anan would falsify the uttcranccs of
II cX-rrcsidcnt of the United States
for 1920. At the time he was arrest
I'd he says he was on his way to New
IS 5ork city to give District Attorney
; Peromc additional evidence. Hc says
he arrest was made by those interest
Ped in offsettinc the Influence Of Mr..
Cleveland 5 uttcranccs, who wished to
secure a dramatic climax just before
election
Through his attorney, Brandcnburg
tonight issued the following state
mcnt:
"YcStordav 7 wired District Attor-
ncy Jerome that had new evidence
to present on Friday. and rs 7 step
ped aboard the train for New York to
fulfill my agreement, I am arrested as
o fugitive from justice, though my
attorney, Joseph Williams, and T. my
self, informed the district attorney Of
my purpose and destination on this
journey.
"This allows those who are inter
estcd in offsctting the Influence Of
Mr.. Cleveland S uttcranccs to secure
a dramatic climax just before elcc-
ton. The entire matter is all fitting
in nicely with Col. Wattcrson s plan,
announced before the article was pub
lishcd, that it must be discrcditcd by
any means. Tt remains to be seen if
the American public is to be bulldoz-
ed one one hand, while am victimizcd
on the other.'

MELVIN CULP KILLED
BY TRAIN NO. Is.
Was Crossing Bridge Near Merlin
Could Not Get Away in Time
To Avoid Engine.

Tuesday morning, as Train No. Is
neared the bridge over Jump-Of-Joe
Creek near Merlin, the fireman call
ed to Engineer Wagenblast that
there was a man on the track. The
whistle was blown and the brakes
applied, but the train could not be
stopped in time to keep from striking
him, though is was greatly slowed
down. The man, Melvin Culp, saw
the train and turned around and
went the other way to get of the
bridge but seemed to be excited and
did not make much headway. The
bridge is only few feet high and he
could have easily gotten over the
side without much injury. Both legs
were cut of and his body mangled,
and the unfortunae man was dead
when the train was stopped to pick
him up.
Melvin Culp was an old resident
OF Merlin and leaves a large family
to mourn his untimely death. The
accident was promptly reported and
Coroner F. d Stricken left at once
for the scene and held an inquest,
The jury decided that there was no
one to blame for the accident.

NO UNCERTAINTY
ABOUT RAILROAD
Engineer Collins Goes East for Con-
ference hut VIII Return
Soon.

G. C. Collins left this week for
Colorado to spend the holidays with
friends and relatives. He will join
Mrs. Collins at Denver. she having
gone there some weeks ago. After
the New Year Mr.. Collins will go to
New York City to confer with some
of the men interested in the Illinois
River Railroad project. He expects
to return some time in January,
though business may delay him until
February.
Before leaving the city. in speak
ing of the railroad project, Mr.. Col
Inns said that the people OF Grants
Pass do not need to worry about the
road, 1t is going through, and its
building is now cerainty. We have
our plans made. but OF course such
big project requires time, though by
early spring everything should be In
readiness so we can go ahead with
the actual construction. After the
work is started 1t will go ahead at
rapid rate.
There are many things which have
made II necessary to delay beginning
the construction work, and among
others is the bridge at the foot OF
Sixth street. While we hope this
bridge will be such as can be used
by us, II would not be wise to go
ahead with the gradin until we
know for a certainty. for II we can
not use this bridge II will be necces-
sary to build a bridge OF our own at
some other point on the river. thus
changing our entrance into the
town; so you see all we can do is to
await the construction of the new
bridge across Rogue River All that
can be said at this time is that the
road will be built.

was raised in the Rogue River Val
ley, near Grants Pass. This will be
very profitable advertising for this
section.
Some of the fruit sent from here
was badly damaged in shipping. but
the most of it was sold after the
show was over, and the money will
be turned over to the growers.
There was only $50 collected to pay
the expense of sending the fruit and
fare and other expenses of Mr.. Bate
ham, and he was obliged to advance
some money as his expenses were
somewhat in excess of that amount.
lnasmuch as the exhibit captured
the prizes, and so far as we are ad-
vised. the only prizes taken by the
state of Oregon, the additional mon
ey will undoubtedly, as it should be,
made good to him. 1t was also ex-
pected that the railroad company
would transport the exhibits without
charge, but they refused to do so,
and this cost a considerable sum
that would otherwise have gone to-
ward defraying expenses.

Full Award Not Known
but at Least a Dozen
PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED
National Apple Show Appreciated
Good Apples From the Rogue
River Valley.

H. c. Bateman returned Wednes-
DAY morning from Portland and
spokane where he went to take the
exhibits from Grants Pass to the Or
egon Horticultural Society and the
National Apple Show. The results
OF the trip are highly satisfactory to
the fruit growers of this section, es-
pecially those obtained at Spokane.
At Portland the fruit was simply
placed on exhibition, but at the Ma
tional Apple Show it was placed in
competition with the finest fruit
from all sections Of the United
States. Mr.. Bateman was fortunate
In being able to secure place for
the exhibit close to the door and by
the use of photographs which Pho
tographer Lewis furnished, and
some banners which Mr.. Bateham
had made a creditable, though
small, exhibit was made. The award
of the judges has not been received
as yet, but as the fruit was viewed
they promised six or eight prizes on
the plate varieties. diploma for the
display sent by the Grants Pass Can
merry, and a fourth prize on plate col
lection. When the awards of the
judges are received it is quite likely
that other prizes will be received by
our fruit.
Aside from the prizes the exhibit
sent will result in a great amount of
good for this section. Mr.. Bateham
took along 200 of the booklets got
ten out last year by the Commercial
Club, and gave those out to persons
who were interested in the exhibit
and inquired about this part Of the
Rogue River Valley. He states that
he would have been able to have dis
tributed to advantage several thous-
and more booklets and other litera-
ture had it been provided. Many
persons promised him they would
come here and see this country for
themselves, and at least three per-
sons are already in town now as the
result. Secretary Andrews OF the
Commercial Club, informs us that
he has received many letters from
persons who state they saw the ex-
hibit and want to know more about
the country; so from this source
alone the exhibit will pay many
times what 1t cost to send 1t.
After the National Apple Show was
over Mr.. Bateham was asked to do
nate the prize-winning fruit sent
from here to be displayed in eastern
cities. He gave them the fruit and
was promised it would be exhibited
in st. Paul. Minneapolis, Helena
Cleveland, New York and other plac-
es, and each plate to be marked with
the name of the grower and address,
with a large placard stating that 1t

GOLDEN EAGLE CONTEST
CLOSES TUESDAY NIGHT
Everyone Interested in the Re-
sult-.-New Subscribers Are
Coming in Rapidly.

The Couriers Golden Eagle Con-
test closes next Tuesday night, De
cember 22, at 1890 o'clock, and the
result of the contest is looked for
ward to with great deal of interest
by hundreds of people, and espe-
cially by the contestants who
are each one anxious to secure first
money, $50. At the present time II
is impossible for one to even guess
who will produce the greatest num-
Der OF points before the closing mo-
ment as there are three contestants
who have each occupied the first
place during the past three weeks:
Miss Darneill, Don Calvert and Miss
Reynolds; the latter this week
No idea can be formed, however,
from the result OF the figures here
given, even though the count was
made today, for the reason that
there are so or rs yellow certifi-
Gates" each counting 500 points,
which are now out, and 1t is proba-
BILE that there will be at least 100
more OF them given out before Tues
day night, as all of the conestants
are Notwithstanding like beav-
ers and their friends are working,
too. We would not be surprised to
see one OF those now in the lower
numbers suddenly take first place.
From now on the count will be made
each day and the results posted in
the window OF the Courier Office
Tuesday morning will be the last
count posted and then no contestant
will know what another contestant
is voting.
Now that the time is so near up it
is well for the contestants to make
their reports every day and to vote
their ballots in order to facilitate
the count and not have thousands OF
ballots coming in at the last hour Of
the contest.
Remember, the time is short for
getting and Tuesday is
the shortest day of the year, so don't
wait until Tuesday to "cinch" the
new subscriptions which have been
promised, We especially want the
newcomers and are giving 500 extra
points for new subscribers who have
resided In Josephine county less than
six months. There are scores OF
families who will come under this
list. Now get busy and don't let a

Roseburg Elks Take In the City and

A party OF Roseburg people be-

this instance being part OF Rose
burg Lodge No. 1926, Benevolent and

IN town Thursday, giving a street
parade at o'clock and In the even
Ing presenting their grand jubilee
minstrels at the opera house. They
gave a GOOD show and all who heard
them were pleased.
II is TO be regretted that the opera
house was not crowded as the Rose
burg people were entitled to a bot
ter house than they received, and
the slim attendance can only be ac-
accounted for by the fact that the
show was not announced long
enough IN advance. Had It been
sufficiently advertised there IS little
doubt but that our people would
have turned out in goodly numbers.

USES GOATS TO CLEAR
New Settlers Going Into Wolf Creek
Valley, and Everybody Planting
Fruit Trees

II. A. Perkins. the well known
Wolf Creek rancher. was In Grants
Pass Monday and reports most
satisfactory rate OF progress going
on in his community. Quite few
people have purchased land which
Will be devoted to fruit raising, and
several new families have taken
lands from the Ideal Colony, which
Is being established by Rev. w. G..
Smith. The lands belonging to this
colony consist of 2700 acres. nearly
all OF which is excellen for fruit
The ranch OF Mr.. Perkins consists
Of 142 acres. 40 acres of which is
under cultivation, and more being
cleared and gotten ready as fast rs
possible MIR. Perkins has given the
Angora goat question, a thorough
trial as land clearers and ia satis-
fled with the results. He keeps 4S
goats and as fast as he slashes the
timber turns the land over to them
and they keep all the sprouts eatea
OFF. II requires about two years to
kill all the grubs and sprouts by
keeping the goats at work and the
third year the land is ready for the
plow.
A great deal OF land Is being set
out to fruit In the Wolf Creek coun-
try, both by the newcomers and the
old settlers who heretofore have
raised but little. What fruit has
been grown has demonstrated that
both the soil and climate are we'll
adapted to fruit and in the future
the area devoted to II will be rap
idly increased.
Mr.. Perkins has visited nearly all
parts OF the state and after thor
oughly investigating conditions be-
lieves that this part OF the Rogue
River valley can raise finer fruit
and more OF II than any other por-
tion OF the state. and that all that Is
required to make It a large producer
is people. and all that is necessary to
get the people Is to make known to
the world what we have here. He
believes that an exhibit building To-
Gated near the depot. such as has
been provided at Eugene. Roseburg.
Medford. Ashland and other towns,
will do as much as anything else to
advertise the country. Thousands
OF homeseekers are travelling over
the Southern Pacific Railroad and
goodly share OF them would locate In
and around Grants Pass II there was
something near the depot TO show
them what we can raise. With such
a building, he thinks there would he
less dificulty In getting our farmers
and orchardlsts TO send In displays.
