OLIVES GROW IN OREGON.
Trees Thrive in Southern Part of
State as Experiment.

Trees Thrive in Southern Part OF
State as Experiment.
Grants Pass-That olives can be
grown in Southern Oregon at profit
and are adapted to this climate has
been fully demonstrated by the city
park superintendent, who has had sew
eral trees under his care and supervi-
sion. Olives have always been profit
able fruit in California and are raised
there extensively. The trees in the
city park are thrifty and growing ex-
ceedingly well.
A man from California who saw
them remarked they were as good as
any he had seen growing there, and be
saw no reason why much acreage here
could not be devoted to the industry.
He concluded that before next spring
he would set out five acres in olives.
Olives bear we'll and find ready
market and become of commercial val
ue along about the fourth or fifth year.

SURVEYING TO LOLO PASS.
Northern Pacific Fighting for Posses
sion of Missoula Cutoff.

Missoula, Mont, April 27. = The
Northern Pacific is prepared to resist
the Hartman invasion of the country
west of Missoula, in the Clearwater
country, in Idaho. A party consisting
of 20 Northern Pacific engineers from
Portland arrived yesterday under the
direction of William Mayer, locating
engineer of the Northern Pacific.
The outfit left today, equipped with
supplies for long jaunt. 1t is believ-
ed that the corps is headed for the Lolo
river, and it is likely that the survey
will be along the line of the route se-
lected by the Northern Pacific years
ago for right of way between Mis-
soula and Lewiston.
On the Idaho side of the Bitter Root
mountains both the Northern Pacific
and the Union Pacific have had con-
tending parties in the field for two or
three weeks.

Timbermen File on Mineral Claims.


Medford-A concerted effort seems
to have been instituted on the part of
the timbermen to put the mining in.
terests of Southern Oregon out of busi-
ness. Locators, presumably for lack
of suitable claims elsewhere, have
been busy placing investors on min
eral claims, on many of which paying
mines have been worked for years.
Timbermen are after practically all OF
the mining claim in Southern Oregon
that have any timber upon them. By
its rulings so far the Roseburg land
office has held that the land is more
valuable for timber than for mineral.
In one case suit has been brought to
set aside mineral land patent issued
eight years ago.

at 45 this morning in the southwest
part of Pera near Yildiz Kiosk.
Constantinople, April 24.-The ad-
vance of the concentrated army of in
vestment was begun last night. While
the favored troops of the Constantine
pie garrison were giving homage to the
sultan on Yildiz hill, there was for
ward movement of the Constitutional

shutters. British Ambassador Low

MORAN MATCHHO
WITH DR|SCOLL
BATTLE WILL BE A HARD ONE,
THINK THE FIGHT FANS IN
THE CoUNTR.
Owen Has the Harder WalIop. but His
Opponent Is More Clever In the
Science of Came

NEW DIRK, Aug. Sword comes
from London that Jem Driscoll and
Owen Moran have been matched to
poX 20 rounds for the featherweight
championship of England on Septem-
Der IS. They have signed articles and
have received an offer of $4,000
purse but will not accept until other
promoters have put in their bids. This
match will probably excite interest all
over the world. inasmuch as the win
ner will be matched with Abe Attell
for the worlds feather weight title.
DriscOll and Moran were under the
same management in this country all
last winter and spring and therefore
could not meet in the ring. Driscoll
outpointed Attell in ten rounds at the
National A. c., of this city, while
Moran fought two draws with the
American champion in California
If Driscoll and Moran meet in Eng
land scientific battle is sure to fol-
low. Driscoll is believed to be the
better bOXer-in fact, many believe he
is the greatest boxer in the world but
Moran has the harder wallop and is a
sturdy little fighter who can take plen-
ty of punishment. In bout of 20
rounds Driscoll at his best may win
on scientific points because of his phe-
nOmenal defensive tactics and his
rapid fOOtWOrk. But in a finish fight
because of superior physical strength.

JEFF WILL never
FIGHT, SAYS Al K.
Kaufman Says There Is But One Me-

Will Fight, and That Is
johnson.

PORTLAND, Aug. 5.-"Jeffries will
never fight Jack Johnson" said AL
Kaufman, the big heavyweight, who
is in Portland to referee the Roller
Berg Olson wrestling match at the ex-
position rink tonight. Al is as conf
dent that his assertion is good as he
is that he can whip any man but
Jeffries in the country.
Jeff is in good shape now, but at
that he has no intention of fighting
Johnson, and the only reason he has
put up his $4,000 is to boom his theatre
cal ventures said Kaufman. Il like
Jeff personally and know what he has
been doing in the past five years, and
let me tell you he can never put up
good fight after the dissipation he has
gone through True, Johnson has been
hitting the pace some himself during
the last six months, and l do not think
he could fight much himself
Kaufman is in great shape now. He
is but % years old, and has a build
which could we'll be the envy of any
man on earth. He was found this
morning sprawled out in big chair,
chatting with doc" Roller He was
all smiles when asked for his plans for
the coming years. He will leave to-
morrow for California, his native state,
and will probably break into the game
either there or in Australia very soon.

Athletic c,u3 entries for the A. A. L.

This wonderful mark is but two sec

made by G. II. Fitzpatrick of New York
in 1895. and which has stood ever
like the time he made Saturday in the
international games at the stadium
here on August Is and IA. he may be
counted on to win the event as the
best record of competitor is fully two
seconds slower than his mark. His
closest rival is apparently H. Gisslng'
who left last week for Seattle with
the New York Athletic association
team. Gissing has record OF MIN
ME and 81 seconds in the event.
In the half mile Risdon was given
lead of twenty yards and Tldd OF ~
wards. but Edmunson cut down the
lead of these fast men and finished with
a good margin to spare
Ednunson also proved winner III

that if he was president of the exposi-

it was charged that he tried to get
President Roosevelt to appoint him tn
a federal judgeship. He replied that
he didn't do any such thing. but some
friends of his had done 1t. thinking
that Mr. Roosevelt couldn't find
suitable man for the place in his own
party. However, he said, when Mr..
Roosevelt did find a republican fit for
the job he (Mr. Tucker) had with
drawn the papers his friends had filed
with Mr. Roosevelt in his behalf. Then
the assertion was made that Judge

will you fight Langford?" be was
asked.
mo, I will fight but one negro, and
that is Jack Johnson. A man who will
fight a negro is lowering himself that
him is that he is the champion. 1t
leaves a bad taste in my mouth when
anyone reminds me that a negro is the
champion of the world and | am going

game of that champion. Should l ever
become the champion I will never fight
a negro. no matter how good he is
