DESIRE TO FORM
NEW STATE
CONVENTION AT YREKA TO-DAY
TO DISCUSS SECESSION MOVE
MENT IN NORTHWEsT-MED-
FORD FOR NEW CAPITAL.

Yreka, Cal, March 17.-That's
the day the date line of this town
reads at present.
A few years from now-so hun
dreds of earnest and enthusiastic
men who are holding a convention
here today confidently believe-that
date line will read, "Yreka, Sisk."
"Sisk," it may be explained, is an
abbreviation of Siskiyou, which is
the strange and curious name adopt
ed for the new state to be carved
out of the northern part of Califor-
mia and the southern part of Oregon
provided the voters of those states
are willing.
At today's convention the propo-
sition will be discussed in all it's
| qualifications, and plans will be made
to bring about an amicable separa-
ton from the mother states.
Leaders in the movement allege
that the territory embraced in the
proposed new state has been persist
emily sighted by the more populous
districts of the two states. This has
caused much dissatisfaction, and
popular sentiment in the counties
involved Is almost unanimously in
favor of the Siskiyou project.
Medford, Ore, will probably be
the capital of the new state, in case
the plan goes through, although sew
eral other towns are already clam
oring for the honor.
This is not the first time a seces-
sion movement has been started in
the Northwestern states. A few
years ago an attempt was made to
combine portions of Washington.
Oregon and Idaho into a new state
to be called Lincoln. That project
has apparently fallen by the way
side.

Seattle, March 17.-Tears drop

tent of 50 this morning.
Arveschoug lives at the University

heard the sound of woman's sobbing.
Touched by the woman's apparent
plight, Arverschoug advanced to her.
The woman flung her arms around
him.
He heard her story, while she took
out his bank roll. He didn't know
it. 1t didn't take long to comfort
her after that. He went his way re-
joicing.
One hundred yards away from the
scene of his encounter with the wo-
man Averschoug discovered that he
had been robbed. He ran back. Seiz-
ing the woman, he called the assist

PROTESTS AGAINST
SERVICE
WILLIAM kruger, OF BRIDGE
PORT SAYS TRAINS LEAVE
MANSFIELD AT WRONG TIME
OF THE DAY,

ut is safe to say that fully. four
fifths of the people who patronize
the Wenatchee-M Mansfield line are
residents of the country above Mans
field" said VIM. Kruger to the Daily
World today. This means that they
have been greatly Inconvenience in
the trip to Wenatchee. The train
leaves Mansfield early in the morn
ing and the travellers have to reach
Mansfield the night before and have
to remain there all night. There
are but four small rooming houses
there and these are filled to capacity
every night. The trip is made to
Wenatchee and we get back there
at night and have to spend the sec
ond night there. This is an imposi-
ton. My suggestion would be for
the Great Northern to change the
time of the leaving of the train to
the afternoon or evening and the
night could be spent here and the
train leave here in the morning. The
two nights that we are away from
home could be spent in Wenatchee
instead of at Mansfield This would
be great deal more satisfactory.
Your argument, said Mr.. Kruger,
is that you are satisfied with the
service because you catch a few peo-
pie living along the line who come.
down here to do little trading and
get back home again the same night
Now the size of the matter is that
most Of the people who come here
to trade do not expect to get back
the same day and you would get
them just the same by changing the
service so as to accommodate us. I
think that you business men here
are making a mistake by not help
ing us out in this matter. Remem-
Der, the whole north country is with
| us in this change and Wenatchee
should help us out in this

A little over year ago i paid Visit
to a breeding farm in the famous VAL
ley of virginia where Peroheron horses
were raised, and was struck wi.h the fac.
that this breed possessed admirable quail
tiles as farm horses. as well as city
drafters.
Two stations and two mares were
working on big manure-spreader, be-
ing all driven by one man.. These superb
animals were pure-bred Percherons. ana
averaged 1,S50 each. The young stations
were easily managed. although they were
being used in the stud.
The mares were splendid specimens OF
the breed, and it was a great sight to
see these four magnificent animals work
ing quietly together.
