900 MILES OVERLAND
TO CITY OF GRANTS PASS.

Three G. A. r. veterans, all men as
active as many who are two score
years their junior, arrived in Grants
Fass Sunday evening after having
made the long trip overland from
Pullman, in eastern Washington. The
three men are R. Lanning, E. Laney
and X. P. Allen, the latter postmaster
of the town from which the trio
started out on its pilgrimage.
Messrs. Lanning and Laney LETT
the Washington city on July Sth, TO
drive through with team belonging
to Neil and Wilford Allen Jr. OF
Grants Pass. They came via Walla
Walla, Pendleton, Heppner and the
John Day country to Redmond, in the
Des Chutes valley, where they were
joined by X p Allen, who could not
get leave of absence from his duties
long enough to make the entire trip
From Redmond the party followed
up the Des Chutes through Bend and
on to Fort klamath, then to Crater
Lake, across the Cascade range Of
mountains and down the Rogue riy-
er to Gold Hill, at which point they
first struck the Southern Pacific rail-
way and the Pacific Highway, which
they followed to this city.
At Redmond the gentlemen met
Gov. West, who was crossing the
state on horseback, and 1t was on the
strength Of his report of the condi-
tion Of the road down the Santiam
and the Mckenzie that they chose the
Crater Lake route. They made the
journey without mishap, and express
delight with the beauty of the trip,
and the excellence Of the roads Of
western Oregon in particular. Like
all Of the travelling public, they
speak especially we'll Of the roads in
the immediate vicinity Of Grants
Pass
In the twenty days they were out,
they travelled II 1-2 days, and cover
ed between 600 and 700 miles, the
horses, thanks to the careful and
faithful care given them, coming
through in perfect condition.
The visitors will remain in this city
for some days, and expect to become
acquainted with the Rogue valley
and determine for themselves the
truth Of the glowing reports they
have had of it before returning to
Pullman. They are at the home of
Wilford Allen, news editor of the
Courier, and son of the X. P. Allen
Of the party.

MUTSlHlTO, EMPEROR OF
JAPAN, Is DEAD.

TOXIC, July Worn out by
constantly decreasing debility due to
his diabetic condition, Mutsuhito,
mikado and emperor of Japan, died
here early this morning in the Imper-
ial Palace, while the elder states
men Of the nation and Yoshonito, his
son, stood by his deathbed
For hours the dead mikado had
been unconscious and only his feebly
huttering heart gave indication that
life had not fed Oxygen was being
constantly administered during the
last few hours of his life but the
shallow breathing Of the ruler made
it certain at midnight that the end
could not long be delayed
No arrangement have as yet been
announced for the funeral of the
dead ruler, but it is expected that it
will be one great magnihcence.
Immediately after the death of the
mikado, his son and heir, Yoshishito.
assumed the supreme authority and
under his hand the elder statesmen
OF the nation will have charge of the
funeral rites of the dead ruler.
1t is not believed that the emper-
ors death will have any radical ef-
feet on the national policy Of Japan.
The only change of note is that
Prince Katsura, now in Europe, will
at once return to Toxic, and. it is ex-
pected will again assume the reigns
of government as soon as the new
mikado's reign is properly begun.
The new emperor Yoshishito was

the judges solitude was again in

an uneasy and restless ten minutes,
with his eye to crack in the door.
He was soothed and treasured, how

pale villainous eyes and a tobacco

newcomer with disfavor AS for the
horse-thief, he gave his companion in
misery a coldly critical stare, seated
himself on the stool, and with quite
fierce air devoted all his energy to

out of the silence sounded a long

"Neighbor, that means mel" he
cried.

Belle Plain, but while she did remain
they must avoid any more crises OF
the sort through which they had just
passed, and presently she'd be sick OF
the place.
In the midst of her activities Betty
occasionally found time to think OF
Bruce Darlington. She was sure she
did not wish to see him again! But
when three weeks had passed she be-
gan to feel incensed that he had not
appeared. She thought Of him with
hot cheeks and a quickening OF the
heart It was anger.
Then one day when she had decid-
ed forever to Danish all memory OF
him from her mind, he presented him
self at Belle Plain.
She was In her room Just putting
the finishing touches to an especially

When Betty entered the parlor a

those broad shoulders, and the fne
poise OF the shapely head that sur
mounted them.
"Oh, Mr. Darlington" and Betty

rather pale and then crimsoned.
