Harry Shadburn and John and

lose their entire camp outfit by fire.
They made permanent camp on

BOSTON, Oct. 16.-By muffng an
easy fly ball in the tenth round, Fred
Snodgrass today cost New York the
championship of the world and Chris
ty Mathewson one OF his greatest
games. The Red SoX, hopelessiy
beaten, rallied again in the face OF
this ghastly break by the Giants
outfielder, and finally fought their
way across by the margin Of a rum
where, with good support, Mathew
son would have drawn a shutout. 1t
was a heartbreaking battle for the
Old Master, who stood through the
game, through uncertain support, as
only marvel of heart, brain and
arm could have stood.
There never was a game in the
world kicked away as this one was
in the most dramatic finish ever
staged. The Giants, by clean slug
ging, had mauled Bedient and Wood
for two runs, with Murray leading
each assault. The last run came in
the tenth. when Murray and Merkle
tore into Wood for doubles and put
their people in front again
Mathewson had but one round to
work to win his championship. Engle
starting the tenth, lifted an easy ny
to Snodgrass, which dropped square
" in his hands, and to the conster'
nation of the Giant rooters and the
wild 10y of the Red Sox hackers, the
ball bounded squarely out, and amid

FIFTY DECORATED AUTOS WE'RE
IN THE LINE.
MOTION PICTURES MADE
Vines and Fruit of the Vine We're
Seen Everywhere, and Grape
Won Many Friends.

Five hundred and thlrty-hve
vines to the acre and dollar
vine" was the slogan heard in the
Rogue river valley three and four
years ago when the planting of the
rokay grape was being exploited by
enthusiastic supporters of the lus-
cious fruit. That the slogan was not
far from fact is being proven this
year by those vineyards that were
planted out at that time, and that
are this season just coming into COM
mercial bearing
The first annual Tokay festival
was an eye-opener to many who had
been skeptics on the question OF
grape culture, for those loads OF
great bunches OF fruit that looked
as though II might just have fallen
from an oil painting were ocular
demonstrations that left no room for
dispute
In Fridays parade were more than
fifty autos and other vehicles trim
med and decorated In the vine or the
fruit of the vine, some of which had
tale to tell, many being worthy OF
special mention. OF the autos, Al
bert Anderson's representing boat,
and that of w. Il. Sherman, which
depicted harvest scene with Its
decorations OF pink autumn leaves
mingling their colors with those OF
the clusters OF rich. ripe Tokays,
were especially effective. Others
that occasoned more than passing
comment we're those of l.. H. Her.
rick, II. l.. Churchill Perry Cunning,
Joseph Moss. c. II. Demaray, and
Col. Osgood, and many others that
added to the beauty of the scene,
and that will be seen and admired by
thousands In the moving pictures
that were made OF them. Not yard
OF hunting or flag were used In the
decoration OF the autos, only the
vine and the fruit being employed.
From the farms there came the
four-horse wagon with It's load OF
little girls representing the Country
Club Orchards; the big truck from
the Leonard Orchards; the attrac-
tive wagon from Hull's Orchard;
and wagon loads OF grapes from the
vineyards of j. c. Calhoun, A. W.
Bartlett, H. l.. Edwards and II. G..
Pearson. The "Tokay Shay" was
the novel and beautiful turnout OF
the latter.
Many OF the business houses were
decorated, and the Tokay was the
center OF attraction everywhere.
One notable display OF the Tokay
was that In the front window at
Calhoun's store, where the fruit was
shown In the commercial packages
and In individual bunches In guam
tlty. These grapes we're from the
!. vineyard of j. G. Calhoun, on North
10th street. within the city limits OF
e Grants Pass. Mr. Calhoun planted
4 this yard three years ago, and there
= are vines among those three-year.
j. olds that are yielding dollars
:, worth OF the fruit this season.
= SO the slogan OF 1876 vines to the
3 acre and a dollar a vine" Is making
d good.

RAILROAD TO COAST
WILL DEVELOP MINES,

The development of mining dis
trict the equal of any in the west is
the prediction that Isaac Best makes
as an Immediate consequence of the
building OF a railroad from Grants
Pass to the coast via the Galice and
lower Rogue mining nelds.
Mr. Best has kept a close watch on
conditions as they affect the opening
up of the natural resources that lie
all about this city, still, for the most
part, untouched by the hand of pro-
gress, awaiting only the building of
a railroad to tide water to make
them Immediately available, and this
knowledge of conditions makes him
now enthusiastic in support of the
proposed line to Port Oxford and
Coos Bay.
The building of that line will be
the making of Grants Pass" said
Mr. Best last night. "A friend of
mine recently from the great mining
fields OF Utah, where he operated in
tue Bingham district for years, tells
me, after week spent in the Galice
district, that that district has the
making of just as great a producing
region as the one in Utah. Conditions
in the two are practically identical.
This mining man was six days dig
ging into things around Galice, and
have his statement for the fact that
the big mine that has made Bingham
has its counterpart in the Almeda.
The Bingham mine is now shipping
daily $4,000 tons of ore and is Civ
ing employment to 5000 men with
a monthly payroll of a quarter of
a million dollars. Our ore is Of the
same general character as that at
Bingham, and will be easier handled
as the country is not so rough, and
railroading will be less difficult. Then
the Almeda is but one of many mines
that will be operated, as the vein
which 1t is on has been traced for a
distance of 70 miles, and there is nc
question about the permanency OF
the camp. With the proximity of the
coal fields where coke can be cheap
| ly obtained, and the erection of thc
smelters that will follow the build
| ing of the railroad and the possibil
ity of transportation of the ore, the
whole of southern Oregon will be-
come active and prosperous
But the greater advantage thai
will come to the valley as whole
with the building of this road anc
the development OF mine and mill Il
the outlet It provides for our produce
The valley will never grow enough
vegetables or eggs or pork to NEE
the demands of the miner and th'
lumberman, and the market will b'
not only an eager but a cash one a
we'll. | have seen like conditions il
the Occur dAlene district, and
know that there is nothing like
mine and a mill market to brinI
prosperity to the agriculturist.

after a bullet fired by John Schrank,

man, had entered his right chest
just below the nipple
But for the colonel his would-be
assassin undoubtedly would have
been lynched or shot down
Schrank's bullet was fired fairly
deep into the colonels body With
his clothing soaked with blood, his
whole nervous and physical makeup
profoundly shocked the former
president held himself in hand, his
first thought being to save his
would-be slayer from mob violence.

Schrank was turned over to the

he escaped injury.

MURDER OF
BOY LEADS TO HUNT
FOR CRAZY
Body of Schoolboy, Who
Disappeared Month Ago,
Found Mutilated.

NORTH PROVIDENCE, r. l., March
29.-The entire police power of the State
was ordered into action today following
a conference between Governor Pothier
and Attorney General Rice to solve
what has proved the most mysterious
and brutal crime in the history of the
State.
Twelve-year-old Willie Matthers, the
best student in his class, disappea red
after leaving school exactly one month
ago today. His frantic parents searched
everyu here, but could find no trace OF
the child. The entire country around
this town was carefully searched.
Yesterday Charles Green, while walk
ing across Moses Angel Hill, saw, what
he thought was torn bundle of rags.
He examined it and was horriied TO
find that 1t was the decomposed body
of a small boy. The police recognized
the clothing as that worn by Willie
Matthers when he disappeared. The
child had been terribly maltreated and
brutally murdered.
The police arrested a seventeen-year-
old italian youth, but soon released
him. A number of assaults on chill
dren in this vicinity have been report
ed, and there Is a growing belief that
an insane criminal is at large.
But one real clue is in the hands Of
the police. They have a blood stained
