A Shocking Death.

Seldom has our city been more
shocked than it was on Thursday
evening of last week when the news
was passed from one to another
that J, L. Roe had been found
dead in the Standard Oil house,
near the Katy depot.
He had been on the street after
3 o'clock attending to his usual
business and seemed to be enjoying
good health.
He went TO the oil house about
4 O'Clock with his tank wagon and
drove his team inside as he has
done for many years for loading
purposes, and his dead body vas
found lying near the oil pumps
about 6 O'Clock.
The body was still warm when
found but life was extinct.
The body was found by one of
the crew of Katy freight train.
The crew was doing some switch
ing on the tracks near the oil house
and one of the brakeman noticed
Mr.. Roe's team standing in the
drive way was very restless and
seemed badly scared and thinking
Mr.. Roe might need help run up
there to render any assistance pos
sible when he discovered the body.
He Immediately notified Mr..
Brownell, the Katy agent, and
others and doctors were called,
but 70 NO avail. Life had fed. The
body was taken to his home ON s.
Ashby.
An examination disclosed an
abrasion of the skin jus. above the
right eye and enc en- the right
cheek, neither of any special con
sequence, bat severe scalp wound
was in the back of the head and a
small depression in the skull like
some blunt instrument had struck
him, indicating the skull but not
breaking entirely through.
The body was held until Sunday
afteruooa that relatives from a
distance might be present at the
funeral.
Funeral services were conducted
at the home at 3 p. m, Sunday by
Elder Kitchen of the Christian n
chuIch.
Mr.. Roe was a member of the
| Workmen aud Woodmen orders,
and these two orders took charge of
the burial.
A very large crowd was preseat.
Mr.. Roe was we'll known and very
popular. He came from Erie to
Chanute a number Of years ago.
For eight or ten years he has driven
the Standard Oil company's wagon
here, delivering coal oil and
gasoline to eur local merchants in
the surrounding smaller towns. He.
was faithful employee, going in
all kinds of weather and all kinds
of roads.
He attended to his business faith
fully and punctually, sold and
delivered oil and gasoline and col.
lected and remitted the money.
The afternoon that he was killed
he seat draft to the company to
balance his account.
Mr.. Rec was very pleasant and
agreeable with everybody and made
friends warm aAd true wherever he
went. HIS sudden and somewhat
mysterious death is a shock to our
people aud universal sympathy aud
sorrsw is expressed.
He leaves a sorrowing young
family consisting of most devoted
wife and four young children.
He vas fixing up nice comfor-
table home for himself and happy |
little family and had his improve
ments almost completed when the
summons came.

Senatorial Repartee.

Once In the senate chamber John j.
ingalls, was directing some remarks to
Senator Hoar Of Massachusetts. Tho
other senator from that state, Mr..
Dawes, having come in while Mr.. In
gals was speaking, thought the words
were meant for his ear. and SO, inter-
rupting. he asked ingalls, II he was d.
recting the remarks at him. The Kan
sas senator turned slowly around, for
Mr.. Dawes sat behind him, and then,
with delicious information, but an in
slant wit. he said, II was directing
my remarks to the successor Of Charles
Sumner and not to the successor Of
Daniel Webster"
The repartee has become traditional,
and the utterance was at once placed
alongside of that reply Of Oonkling
to Senator Thurman, which is also
traditional in the senate chamber.
Conkling was speaking. and Thur
man had said. interrupting him. docs

F oliticians'
 :. Pilgrimage The Preseidsnt Will Make : OAe Campaign Speech
7 TyWlf- Sound Keynote
Visitors to Summer Capitol Discuss the New Sit1stiOm Which Was Said to Involve Retirement Of MT. Ballinger.

Beverly, Aug. Is. President Taft decided to accept an invi- tation to attend the National League of Republican clubs at Carnege hall, New York. Sep tenrber 30. In all likelihood this will be the. presidents one speech of the campaign, and he will be surrounded by a political atmos- phere, and it is probable that pol Itics will enter largly into what he has to say. The speech will prove the keynote of the cam- paign for MT. Taft will give a resume of what the republican party has accomplished in his administration, and hopes to accomplish if it is continued in power.
 Lloyd C. Griscom, chairman of the New York republican county committee, is spending the night at the Taft cottage. Other than,to say that he came to discuss the situation in New York sta te, and that he would re- turn to New York tomorrow, Mir. Griscom was uncommuni- ,eatiFe, Warren B. Harding, the republican nominee for governor of Ohio, was two hours with MT. Taft this afternoon. He came to Beverly accompanied by Senator Dick and Nicholas Longworth.
 Messrs, Dick and Longworth al- so participated in the conference with the president.
 It is said that the leaders real ;ize that they have the fight of their life at hand. They are not attempting to keep the president in Ignorance of thesituation.
 Politics having held the stage throughout the day at Beverly, there was much discussion among the callers of the proposed reor- ganization within the republican party. No statement was forth coming. however, either from the president or secretary Morton The executive offices were swam- ped with .telegrams regarding sthe new situation, but the con- tents of these were not made public. A number of golitical Headers are coming to Beverly next week and their aidwill be enlisted in the new plans.
 Commissioner of Indian Affairs Valentine came to Beverly in response to a message from the president and talked with MT. Taft of the recent disclosures regarding Indian lands and public interest in the subject: The president it is said, will devote ar portion of. his mes- sage to congress in the recom- mendation of laws to surely safe guard the lands in use by Indians that will cut off the possibility of any more large attorneys fees.

Modern Charter Needed.

Those watching the Improvements
going on in Grants Pass will not be
slow to come to the conclusion that
the near future will show this to be
the city beautiful. Broad streets,
handsomely paved, and the many
new business blocks indicate that we
are to have a modern municipality.
There is only one thing above all
others needed and that Is a modern
city charter which will enable the
mayor and council to make improve
ments without going over the same
ground three or four times. The
mayor and some members of the
council appreciate this and we have
no doubt that a new charter will be
submitted to the voters OF Grants
Pass at an early day; that Is, as soon
as the mayor and council have the
time to take up the subject. 1t Is
as hard to run a city with an ancient
charter like the one we have as It
would be to run a modern farm with
the implements and machinery Of
fifty years ago.

CHANCES FOR HoMEsEEKERs.

Josephine county Is certainly the
land of opportunity for the home
seeker. Here are cheap lands which
can be brought under irrigation and
on these can be raised crops of all
kinds. Alfalfa natures four, and
some seasons five crops. There is
home market for every ton that can
be raised for many years to come.
Wheat, oats and many other small
grains will do we'll under irrigation,
and there Is also a home market for
these important products Of the soil.
Potatoes are good crop and bring
remunerative prices In the Grants
Pass market.
With plenty OF alfalfa and grain
the farmer can make rapid wealth in
raising pork for the home market,
as there is no such thing as hog
cholera or other fatal diseases in this
country. The raising Of cattle,
dorses and mules is always a profit.
able business in this county and
quick money can be realized by those
who enter the business for profit
Poultry and eggs find a ready sale
at remunerative prlves at all seasons
OF the year. So much for general
farming, which requires only ordin-
ary skill and knowledge OF irriga-
tion. The climate and soil can at all
times be relied upon to do its part
to insure success In all lines OF agri-
culture.
Fruit growing is a speciality, but
knowledge OF the business can be
acquired and thoroughly mastered in
a comparatively short time. It should
be understood, however. that Il
needs energy, study and vigilance to
become successful. Fruit growing Is
without doubt the most profitable oc-
