A Clock Case Made Of Pennies.

A novelty In, clockmaking consists
of a timepiece whose case is made Of
English pennies. The coins. tof which
there are ninety-six, all bear the date
1897 and were beaten out to almost
double their original size and then
riveted together. while the figures were
made Of small strips Of copper cement
ed on to the face. The clock stands
fourteen inches high and is eight inch
es broad at the base. That "time Ia
money" is an adage with which we all
more or less agree, but this Is a case
In which the saying might be reversed
and still remain true. The clock ID

Taken for a Bear Near
Riddle Tuesday
SHOT HIN THREE TINES
Inquest at Riddle Finds Shooting
Accidental-Funernl Thurs
at Roseburg.

Alexander A. Franks, a Southern
Pacific Brakeman running between
Grants Pass and Roseburg, was killed
by his hunting companion, oscar
Webber, a Southern Pacific fireman.
The shooting occurred at Riddle Tues
day and Death was instantaneous.
The two men. accom- anied by their
wives left Roseburg last Sunday Tor
an outing and on Tuesday the two
men went after game. They separated
and shortly afterward. Webber
thought he saw bear and hred'
but the bear turned out to be his best
friend and the first shot probably
caused instant death and as the body
rolled down the side Of the canyon
two more shots we're fred, and both
hitting their mark. When Weber
followed up to see the result OF his
shooting he discovered the body OF
Franks, two bullets having pierced the
region of the stomach and thiid
through the breast. webber was
about 80 yards away when he shot
and used $3.50.
Immediately after the shooting
webber took the body of his friend to
camp. which was about mile away,
and AZ soon AZ the authorities were
notified an inquest was held at KID
die. The verdict Of the jury was ac-
c,dental shooting. The funeral was
held at Roseburg Thursday morning
under the direction Of the Brother
hood of Local trainmen, and interment
took place In the Masonic cemetery.
Alexander A. Franks was 30 years
of age and leaves bride Of 30 days,
formerly Miss Birdie worley of Oan-
yonville. They resided in Roseburg.
webber and Franks were cousins
and fact friends. Both young men
were we'll known In Grants Pass and
have many friends here to whom the
accident brings sorrow.

is quite likely that all of the towns
except Medford will be given delivery

was satisfactory, at Medford the
houses had not been numbered and Of
course until this is done the depart

is satisfactory except that the number

will be in day or two. 1t can safely
be said that Grants Pass will be the

fstory. Two large plants, one at
Roseville and one at Cotton. Cal, will
be erected, the first capable Of chilling
20 carloads in four hours and the
latter having a capacity of 40 carloads
in the same time. To accomplish the
same result In an ordinary Ice plant
would require four days The com.
pany,s scientists have demonstrated
that the sudden chilling of vegetable
matter causes an absolute suspen-
sion of the process Of decay, and the
company announces that the new
method practically will do away with
the loss Of time and consequent loss
by decay in shipments Of fruits and
vegetables to Eastern markets
The Sprague device consists of q
plant equipped to force through. the
loaded cars under vacuum pressure
blasts of air that have been previously
passed over Ice. The vacuum re

The plants will be operated IN con

Must Get at the Cause
and Then Act.
EDUCATION IS NECESSARY
Supervisor Anderson Talks In
terestinsly on the Subiect of
Fires and the Prevention.

The disastrous timber fires of the
present year both on this coast and in
the East, with the great work under
taken by the commission appointed to
plan for the conservation of the
natural resources, has awakened an
interest that will bring important
changes in the protection of our
forests and waterways.
The Courier has from time to time
published interviews, and contribu.
tions from practical men in this To-
cality who have given attention to
the subject of protecting the magnii.
cent timber lands of Oregon from
destruction by FIRE, and from the
interest taken believes the time ripe
to do something that will materially
lessen the annual loss by fire.
To get in touch with the various
ideas on the subject, our representa-.
tive interviewed Forest Supervisor
Anderson of the Government Forest
Service in this city and this is his
opinion On the subject:
1.-THE first thing to get at is the
cause of the fires, and then law
that will reach the cause effectively.
My experience Is that in different
parts Of the state the cause differs
greatly. In the higher lstitudes Of
the Cascades in Eastern Oregon the
main cause OF forest fires is lightning,
aud this is hard to reach by law,
nothing but well organized patro
system will protect under such condi
tions, and with the National Forests
this is doing effective work though il
such season as we have just exper
fenced fortunately rsre) firss will ge
beyond control of even the most ex
perienced men. So far as being
educated to the Importance Of avoid
ing careless, or wilfal fires Easte
aud Middle Oregon are years ahead
Southern Oregon. l remember wei
the time when the same condition
existed there as do here; but now fire
from campers, or hunters, are com
paratively rare, while of spproxi
matly 80 fires above five acres in are
(besides more thtn that number small
ones), within the forest under ~
charge, fully 90Ier cent were Teporte
as set by hunters, or campers and tn
other 10 per cant suppo-ed to b
malicious. Outnde the Forest au
in settled drtricts the great maJoTl'

violation of law.
