the opinion that 1t was camp OF
great wealth. In fact, greater than
any other In Southern Oregon.
There has been many millions OF
dollars In gold taken out OF the

Corliss. "but what has come from
this source is small compared with
what the quartz lodges will yield

"The big quartz lode which crosses
the Rogue river on the Almeda pro-

ore to be found In any community.
II is the mother lode OF the district

He came into our office timidly,
looking from one member of the

with whom to do business. His
stalwart figure and sunburnt face
told of outdoor life and made us to

in Office work. There was no super
flous polish to our visitor-reflect-
ing nothing but himself. He said he
wanted to subscribe to a good paper

There is much indignation among
the citizens Of Grants Pass against
any parties who may be guilty OF
this case and they demand that the
seyerest penalties that the law will
permit be dealt out to the guilty.
1t is believed that others besides
Law are parties to the intended kid

made to get at the very bottom Of
the whole business.

from the state reform school at Che
halls, he could not resist the tempta-
ton to make way with a valuable
span of horses and wagon, belong
ing to Ernest Grossehemig.
Though Grossehemig resides in
Coombs canyon, he also has ranch
on the reservation and he had en-
ployed Gay to work for him at the
latter place. Friday evening the
German rancher left his reservation
place for a visit to his home farm in
Coombs canyon and when he return

$500 outfit, sack of potatoes, other
articles of food, some cooking uten-

driven to Meacham, arriving there

was supplied with a meal by the man
who had divided blankets with him.
Later in the day wood chopper
came to town looking for help and
employed Gay.
A part of this information was OBJ
tanned by the officer before he ar
rested the youth and part of it was
volunteered by that individual after
his arrest. He says he did not at
tempt to sell the outfit and that he
merely wanted to go 10 Meacham and
took the horses so he would not be

JAMES j. HILL TALKS
ON FARMING
Continued from Page Seven.)
Praises the Cnltiyator.

After explaining the connection be-
tween agriculturists and bankers and
bespeaking cooperating of the lat
ter in advancing the interests of the
former, he concluded his speech as
follows:
The eminent historian to whom I
have already referred, scanning the
history of more than twenty-five hum
dred years with the eye of the phil
osopher, determined to extract from
this vast store of facts, according 10
the modern scientific method, some
fixed principle in the affairs of men,
announced this as his conclusion.
THE only durable conquests, even in
ages of barbarism, are conquests made
by the plow." If this was true of the
rude ages when men lived by the
sword, and the tiller of the earth was
either a slave or a still more wretched
peasant, it is far truer today when
civilization has built her imposing
fabric upon the expected bounty of the
earth. We must maintain, protect
and extend these conquests by which
the race won it's way. 1t is not, as
in the old mythology, Atlas whom we
see groaning beneath the weight OF
the world upon his shoulders, but the
homelier and humber figure of the
cultivator of the soil. 1t is for each
OF us, in every capacity public and
private, to do what in us lies to en-
tighten, reinvigorate and sustain this
common benefactor of our kind.

SWEARINGEN PLANS CAMPAIGN
Month of August Set Aside nv tbo
Committee for Educational Meet
ing.

Coiumbia' May 26.-The month of
August has been set aside by the
south Carolina educational COMMITTEES
for vigorous campaign for school
Improvement District, county and
state issues will receive attention. and
the committee hopes to secure the
active cooperation Of teachers. trus.
tees and patrons.
The legislature did not provide for
summer schools during 1909. but
school questions will not, on that ac-
count be allowed to remain in the
background. Several county boards
are anxious to provide summer
school for teachers, but the law does
not give them this authority. The last
state summer school was held in
1905, and since then nothing better
than two weeks summer school has
been offered to teachers desiring bet
ter training Economy is necessary
IN public affairs, but the schools are
the last field that should be made to
pay for retrenchment.
Each county superintendent has
been asked to suggest the peculiar
needs of his county, and to invite
three representative citizens of his
county to assist in their presentation.
The committee desires to hold a grea,
educational rally in each county and
to secure particularly from the trus.
tees clear presentation of school
needs and school problems. To inter.
est these 5000 trustees will be one of
the main objects Of the August cam
paign.
The following letter has been sent
out by Mr. J. E. Swearingen, the State
superintendent Of education and sec
retary of the committee:
The educational campaign COM
mittee wishes to hold an educational
mass meeting in each county during
the month Of August. Trustees, teach
ers and patrons will be invited to at
tend, and to join in a discussion of
school needs. and plans for school i'm
provement. Three representative
citizens of each county will be asked
to discuss local educational problems,
and two speakers from a distance will
represent the committee. In order
that there may be no conflicting ap-
pointments, each county superintend-
ent Is requested to select the place
and to allow the committee to set the
date.
"A folder dealing with some of our
pressing educational needs will be
placed In the hands Of each speaker,
md suggestions as to your county will
prove helpful to the committee. Local
taxation. consolidation, more comfort
able buildings better attendance, In.
creased salaries. trained teachers, ex-
pert supervision. high schools and re-
vision Of the school law are some of
the topics demanding attention. The
campaign is in no sense political, but
seeks only to emphasize the opportu-
mites and responsibilities Of the pres
ent. Your cooperation will be abso-
lutely essential in your county.
