PRINCESS


THE Man of the Hour" can
not fail to please. 1t is a play
for every man, particularly the
man of business, thesthinking man,
the man who wants clean politics.
1t shows young man with
ideals, just out of college, as
mayor of the town and in the
grip of ring of political bosses.
In spite of the fact that this ring
has elected him thinking him an
easy victim for their schemes and
has him hampered in every way,
he breaks their spell and lives up
to his oath of office.
1t is hard struggle and one
well worth the seeing. Besides.
1t Is we'll played, as are all the
plays produced by the Princess
company. 1t has snap and vigor,
and it is clean.
Verne Layton, the new member
of the company, has made a de-
cided impression as to his worth
in the leading role, that of Alwyn
Bennett, the mayor.
Miss Florence Bell, as Dallas
Wainwright, is at her best this
week. She fits into the part
seemingly as though it were made
to fit her. Other members of the
company are equally well adapted
to their parts and quite as we'll
capable of handling them.

TURNIP CERTAINLY
WAS SOME GROWER
MIR. Finney had a turnip
And it grew behind the barn
And it grew and it grew
And the turnip did no harm"

The Mr.. Finney" in this case is
no other than the Rev. J. NJ Cornell
ison. Presbyterian missionary on the
reservation and the turnip was a
"whopper" to be sure. 1t is a pink
top turnip and ii measured exactly
81 inches around and weighed l6
pounds, according to Mr.. Cornelison.
The turnip was found growing be-
hind MIR. Cornelisons hen house at
the Tutilla mission. 1t was a "volun-
tea.' turrip and had neither cultiva-
ton nor irrigation. 1t was blessed
merely by good soil and an abundant
rainfall this spring. 1t was allowed
20 grow undisturbed by its owner
who planned to bring the turnip in
for the district fair. However he no.
ticed a few days ago that ants had
begun war of determination against
his turnip so he decided to dig it up
ana see what ii really amounted to.
He did so With the results announced
above.
IF we can raise a turnip like that
on the reservation, what couldn't we
do ii the land was irrigated" says the
missionary, who is one who holds
that the government should provide
for irrigation the Indian lands and
encourage them to farm their own al
lotments, instead of renting them to
others.

Chicago. Aug. 12.-Reports of the
bumper crops which 9 continue to
come in from all parts of the west

ers to consider the question of funds
for crop movement Bankers in the

ceiVed assurances that these demands

situation which seems to be causing
the greatest anxiety among the farm
ers of the country is the traffic situ-

to their capacity to remove crops, and
there is a question whether they will
be able to meet the demands in time
to have the shipments made when
they will yield teh greatest profit to
the shippers.

INDIAN TO WRITE
OF M0D0C WAR
Brother of Curly Haired Jack VIII
Give Rcd Mans Version of
Famous Campaign.

The Indian version of the famous
Modoc war of 1S72-73, in which a
little band of braves numbering less
tAan hundred kept the Unitel
States army at bay for nearly two
years, is soon to be given to the his
tory reading public by Charles ;.
nool, a full blood Modoc of the K,a-
nath reservation. Major Lee Moor
huuse of this city, has just received a
otter from him requesting photo
graphs of some of the Indians who
played a noteworthy part in that war.
q Hood was only a boy during the
var but was with his people from
first to last, hiding in the impregnable
lava beds of southern Oregon and
northern California. He is a brother
of Curly Haired Jack, the warrior
who shot down Lieutenant Sherwood
on April IL, 1873, while that officer
was bearing a flag HC truce and who
afterwards committed suicide when
captured in order To cheat the GAL
lows.
Hood writes that after the ModoCs
had been captured he. with the rest
of the Indian children, was sent to
the school at Quapaw Mission in
Oklahoma. and afterwards attended
Haskell Institute and Carlisle. After
his graduation from the latter institu-
ton he returned to the klamath res
eIyat.on with his mother who he
says. soon pined away because of the
change which time had wrought in
the land of her birth.
Many of the United States officers
who participated in the war have
written accounts of their experience,
but never yet has the red mans side
Of the story been given. This, the ed
ucated Modoc, writes will be his mis-
sion and he declares his intention OF
soon visiting the lava beds in which
he spent a memorable two years.

PORTLAND ORIENTAL
LINE IS IMPERATIVE
Upon Its Maintenance Depends Sue
cess of Local FIGURING Industry,
Declared Mrs. McCOmas.

1t is absolutely imperative to the
success of eastern Oregon flouring in
dustries that direct and regular Orr
entail steamship service be maintained
out of Portland, according to Mrs.
Sophia Byers McComas, manager of
the big Byers flour mills in this city.
To discontinue it would mean the
closing down of many mills, she de-
clares, and would cause the farmers
great financial loss.
The Byers mills are better sit
uated than most mills in eastern ore
gon,' she said, "in that they have an
outlet via both the O.-W. r. & y. and
Northern Pacific. If the Portland
service is discontinued, we could ship
TO Puget sound, but at the same time
it is probable that We would have to
close down for | am certain that with
the sound cities as the only shipping
points, there would be such great de-
mand for tonnage that the number
Of ships available would be entirely
inadequate.
with no ships we would have to
close, and closed, we would not buy
wheat which would cause loss to the
farmers, for the mills give a cent
premium on every bushel.
"A great deal of our business is
with the orient, our exports there
amounting to 100000 sacks of flour
annually. Right now We are besieg-
ed with orders from China and Japan
for their rice crops were far short.
We cannot ship from Portland, there
fore We are not filling orders. Loss

FINDS OLD COIN IN
MOST UNUSUAL PLACE

1t happens not infrcquently that
the public reads in newspapers of
some person discovering gold mine
quite by accident but it remained for
Jake Welch, local cigar dealer, 10
discover a mine in which the metal
was already minted At least that is
what he thought he had found and
certainly his discovery was very un-
usual.
He was spending q part of last
week at MeaCham and on Thursday
started down Meacham creek with his
rod and line in quest of speckled
beauties. when about three miles
below the mountain resort. he sat
down upon stone which, in winter
time. Is part of the bed of the creek.
While sitting there he suddenly glanc-
cd down and his eye. ever alert for
the elusive dollar caught the glimpse
of money. Down in the crevice of
the rock he detected a half dollar
piece wedged tightly and cemented
in with sand. Fishing was forgotten
and. according to his own report, he
worked for many minutes before he
could pry loose the silver coin.
1t was minted In 1877, according to
the date on It. Though he prospected
the rock for some hours. he could
find no more coins but nevertheless
hastened to the city to take out a
mineral claim, for he believes that
he has struck a rich coin bearing
pocket and does not intend to be
cheated out of the rights he gains by
discovery His friends, however, are
trying to persuade him that some
fisherman dropped the coin in the
water maybe many years ago, and
that 1t had washed down until 1t had
found Judgement in the rock.
