RODY OF MEDFORD MAN
FOUND ON S. p. TRACKS


MEDFoRD, June 22,-The body
of a man, known to the police OF this
city by the name of George Binder,
was found on the right of way of the
Southern Pacific a mile north of this
city today by a section crew. He had
evidently been hit by a train and
killed instantly. A strange feature
of the case is the fact that Binder
spent Sunday In the same cell at
the city jail with VIII Jackson, who
was later found dead In a box car In
the freight yards Of the Southern
Pacific in this city.

opportunity to boost for the town. for irrigation for the
rich mines and for Josephine county Our citizens GER
tany appreciate this service the part of the Journal
and yet II may be that few know who is the correspond
en at this point and therefore it is not out of place to
mention the name of f. f. Rorapaugh in this connection
He has proven his ability to do this kind of work

MIKADO CHEERED BY JACKIES.
Members of Grew of Sinking Destroy
CT Sing National Anthem.

Victoria, B. c., Dec. 16.-Going to
death singing the national anthem
and shouting "BanZais" for their En-
peror, 95 members Of the crew Of the
Japanese torpedo boat destroyer IIa-
rusamo went down with the war ves-
sci on November "a, according to ad-
vices brought by the steamer Panama
Maru.
Stories Of the Is survivors as offl-
cially communicated to the admiralty
by the commander Of the destroyer
Isonamo are dramatic. The Harusa-
mo, which was caught in hurri-
cane in the inland sea, started for
Wakanour in distress, the vessel
swinging with force in the tremend-
Gus sea.
The commander sought to make
Maloya Island. The destroyer was
unmanageable, however, and an hour
later dashed on a reef She slowly
foundered. When the end was near
the crew gathered at tho bridge and
continued singing the national an
them and shouting "Banzais" until
the sea swept them away.

THE SOUTH AT THE CORN SHOW.
bradford Knapp Predicts Great
Future---Farmers Independent.
(The State, Dec. 49,

"The progress has been 50 rapid
and tn possibilities are SO great that
you people OF the South, and espe-
cially Of South Carolina, are causing
tho people Of the North and West to
look with amazement. The nation is
commencing to appreciate that there
are greater possibilities in the South
than in any other section Of the
country"
The above expressions furnished
the keynote to an able address deliv-
cred by Bradford Knapp, head of the
United States farm demonstration
work yesterday, to the members Of
the Boys Corn Clubs and farmers Of
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia, who attended tho corn ex-
position.
"The National Corn Show, tho
greatest agricultural exposition In the
world, will be held here in January
Of next year" said DR.. Knapp, land
the holding Ot this exposition will
cause hundreds and thousands Of
visitors to come to South Carolina
from the North, West and Middle
West. The strangers will be aston
ished and astoundcd at the wonder
full progress that is being made here
along agricultural lines. There Is
nothing in my mind Of greater i'm
portanCe to this section than the
holding Of this great agricultural eX-
position in South Carolina. l wish
that it were possible for every far
mer in South Carolina and other
Southern States to attend the expo
sition and measure themselves up
with the farmers attending from the
West
