OFFICERS BELIEVE ROBBER OF
TRAIN is IN HIDING AT REDDINC
Think Man Who Rifled Mail Sacks Has
Not Had Time to Leave County,
Hold-Up Well Planned By Bandit.

no clues except his description and
that he made his escape so readily,
leads some to believe that he had
eonfederates in his carefully planned
and successful robbery.
His actions while on the mail
car and the directions he gave to
throw out the mail sacks at Cot
tonwood and Anderson give reason
for the theory that he was a former
mail clerk The strongest fact in
support of this theory is that he
knew that Chief Clerk Rhein car
ried the key to the registered mail.
His actions on the car were cool
and determined, and never once
did he drop the revolver that he
held in his hand. He held the
pistol even while he rifled the mail.
The rapidity with which he carried
out his plans shows that everything
was planned with care. He made
the mail clerks put their feet in
empty mail sacks, which he tied
tightly. and all three men were
bound and gagged in the same man
uer.
The cleyerness of his escape
equals the success of his plan tC
capture and rob the mail car OF
a train of several ears passinl
through two towns. The time o
the train in making the run from
Red Bluff to Redding was an hou
aud twenty minutes.

REDDING. Cal, Jan. S.-The
bandit who captured the mail car
on train No. 16 Saturday morning
is believed to be in hiding in this
city. II is thought improbable thSt
he could have made his escape on
the train or any of the wagon
roads leading from this city without
being seen Theory is all the Off
GERS have to work upon, and the
theories are quietly exploded.
The only developments are the
arrival of Postal Inspector Gray
and the offers of rewards of $1,000
each by the United States govern
ment and the Southern Pacific Rail-
road company. Sheriff Montgomery
of this county il cooperating with
the postal authorities in the effort
TO run down the robber.
Have Good Description.
The only clue to the bandit issa
good description given by the mail
clerks whom he bound and gagged
while the train was running between
Red Bluff and Cottonwood The
robber is feet inches in height
aud weighs about 100 pound, is
about 35 years old. He wore a
blue serge suit and brown slouch
hat, which he kept pulled down
over his eyes In speech he was
polite to the clerks in his power
and had soft voice.

twenty-five or thirty miles had ended.
 Like the trip the preceding day the ride had been a revelation of the possibilities of this great and fertile region. And much of the development seen is due to the energy and activity of MT. Beebe. Many of the settlers whose work has done so much first heard of the opportunities here presented through MT. Beebe, and he has in- duced them to come and see for themselves, their visits resulting generally in their making locations. MT. Beebe has conducted, and is conducting yet, an extensive cor respondence with prospective set tiers, and has many more in view who will come and locate in time to put in crops next season.

width, and extends twelve miles or more to the eastward, down the Babacomori creek, along the foot of the Huachuca mountains. Where we crossed is one of the finest grass regions ever saw. The land is a gently rolling prairie, and were the surrounding mountains not visible upon on all sides, one would think he was crossing an Illinois prairie. The soil is rich and fer. tile, and the rich nutritious grass is belly high to the cattle who are rolling fat. Land like this Illinois would sell for $250 per acre, yet here there are hundreds of acres in this vicinity that can be had under the homestead law. The grant owners will not let it remain a stock range very long. Its intrinsic value is too great to be devoted to such uses
 Beyond the grant we came to ihe homesteads of the Frazier Brothers, Ike, Jim and Char ley, each fine quarter section, on which they have raised good crops this season.
 Next northward from the Frazier places is the homestead of Mir. John Mccarthy where has been raised this season by the owner, who took up the land but about year ago, fine crop of corn, which has been mentioned before now in THE OASIS. We approached the place from the west. and found no gate in the wire fence. l alighted from the buggy. crawled through lhe fence and made my way to the house, finding MT. MacCarthy just coming out of the corn6eld, where he had been cutting corn. Telling him our trouble he said: "I will make gate for you" So he took wire cutter, went out where the buggy was standing, and made an opening through which we passed.
 The cornfeld of MT. Mccarthy !s simply marvel. He has forty four acres in the field, and the growth has been splendid, while the crop that it is turning off is heavy and valuable. MT. Mccarthy yOuchsafed the information that his quarter section of ground, which vas wild, government land but a year ago, he would not sell now for $5.000
 Leaving the Mccarthy place we passed eastward, and came shortly 10 the homesteads of MT. James Y. Cunningham and Doctor G. w. Orrick. Mrs. Cunningham had gone to Elgin, but we met the lady returning, anout half way from ihe station, and had sociable chat with her alongside the road We called few moments at Doc. tor Orrick's. It was getting along into the afternoon, and we had tC hurry along.
 Crossing the grant again we came to Elgin station, where wt stopped few minutes, and ther made to the Beebe place, about 2 mile and half, by the road, pass ing the Powell place, purchased recently by Mir. V. P. Hansen, who has established store and is build ing a hotel at Elgin, the homestead Oi Mr. M. T.

Future Conventions

The nation wide primary proposition meets with popular favor and we have probably seen the last deadlock over q presidential nomination.. said an old voter.
 Republicans and democrats alike de- mand the preference primary. Both par ties should agree on the same primary date. but doubt if this will be done at the start. But the next best thing will be for each party to have a preferential primary in all the states on the same day. A national convention would still be necessary to go through the form of mal1- ing nominations and adopting platform. but all that would come before the con- vention could be acted on in one day. Party orators would be on hand to make speeches, but the crowds would be miss ing.
 After the nation wide preferential plan becomes established any city of 5000 population would be able to accommodate a national convention"

FAMINE IN CHINA

From the North China Daily News.
 A visit to such a district as this can not be made without witnessing many narrowing scenes. The mortality has been something awful, and at the hospitals pathetic sights have been but too often witnessed. For instance. a wretched looking boy would appear at the hospital and in answer to inquiries about his home would sorrowfully tell the tale that all but he had perished. At Hwaiyuen, some eight miles from Pengpu, the mis- cry was to be seen at it's height. Walk ing along the street at night one would see people lying there, and repassing half an hour later they would be dead Some distance away one poor woman was seen absolutely groveling in the mud. moan ing and grooming. She was a piteous sight, covered with mud from head to foot the result of living in hole in the ground during rain and storm. Asked what was the matter she replied that she had lost her rice bowl, and until it was found her lamentations continued. When recovered the rice bowl was sent to the gate keep CTS for food, but before it could arrive the poor creature was dead.
 Such sights were but too common. The thatch from the roofs of huts was ire auently eaten as food, and inside all was bare. the only attempt at comfort being, perhaps, a small bundle of straw for the old woman of the house to lie upon. Bark of trees had been eaten, eevrything in fact that could be chewed. The tale Of misery could be prolonged indefinitely.

POWER OF FRIENDSHIP

FranclS lleDer.
 As the love of Romeo and Juliet ele- vated their souls above the strife of their houses, so can friendship elevate two hearts above the struggles of their time, though the individuals be even engaged in it; while those friends who happily walk the same path cheer and strengthen each other by their mutual example; and since essential confidence can exist between good men only, they propel each other in the path of virtue for it is primary law of all inter course, that If two or more of the same inclination, pursuit or chara acter-good frivolous or wicked-are brought In close contact with one another, in that same direction they will propel one an- other still more rapidly Friendship must rest on mutuality, it Is one of it's essential qualities: for one of it's requi- sites and blessings is the enjoyment of confidence--a luxury to good men; and Aeschylus is right when he says that kings suffer one evil, they do not know how to confide in friends, while the reason that was given or Trajan's hav- ing friends is that he was a friend of himself.

HOTELS CAUSE A HOWL

From Baltimore Telegram to the New
 York Sun.
 A howl that's swelling to a roar is go- ing up against sone of the hotels which now are beginning to bulge and therefore are not altogether to blame for some things that are causing kicks.
 One man has kick because when he asked for an electric fan in his bedroom for which he is paying 80 day he was told that he would have to pay 50 cents a day extra for the fan.
 A Tammany leader who tried to grab off an extra sitting-room somewhat larger than dollar bill, bedroom and bath was told that he could have the suite for s15o a day.
 Politicians, writers, artists and just wis., itors who pay from s20 to sS0 e day for room and bath are met up with often. People who arrived here late last week and got hotel rooms chortled with glee whenstold that the rooms and baths were only 8 to s a day, but the glee sagged quickly when they learned that these rates were to last only until last Sunday morning. These folks learned on Friday or Saturday that they must give up the rooms by o'clock Sunday morning or start to paying from s2O day up. There are, of course, small hotels where rooms may be had at the ss q day rate or slight ly higher. but everybody upon arrival wants to get into the few big hotels. which can't be done
 Senator Franklin Roosevelt and party of his friends and some other groups Of visitors have solved things by renting entire houses during the convention ses- sion at $2OO week and up.

THE FOURTH TO BE SANE

From the New York Sun
 This year the Nationwide campaign for d safe and sane Fourth will reach its climax, for more than four hundred cities and towns will fall in line this summer and casually record is ex- pected to dwind1e until it is almost wiped out. The firecracel1r has ex- ploded its own cause. its death knell has sounded and it's long lurid day Is about over not solely because it Is dan- gerous, but because 1t has been super seded by something better.
 It is rapidly getting to be a disgrace to be "firecracler town" and in all of the communities where the safe and sane campaign has been made the ques- ton is not Shall we prohibit fire crackers and torpedoes?' but What shall we have in their placer"
 This question will be answered in hundred different ways on the coming Fourth. In four hundred cities the din of snapping firecrackers will be re- placed by the cheerful noise of bands, fife and drum, big choruses of singers. Thousands of children's voices will be heard, not In yells of excitement over cannon crackers or shrieks of pain and fright when one explodes too soon, but in cheers for the flag, in patriotic songs, in shouts over athletic meets and exclamations of pleasure at the folk dancing in the parks. There will be parades. carnivals, patriotic floats, cele- brations in public squares and build- ings there will be military displays and patriotic dramas and pageants and music, music, music.

ANGRY SPARROW KILLS MAN

From the Wheeling News.
 From Huron. Randolph county, comes news of one of the most peculiar deaths ever ohronicled. Jacob Doll. prosperous farmer who owned and operated a farm of IT acres near that place, was the vic tim and two fighting English sparrows were the unusual cause of his death
 MT. Doll was sitting, asleep, in a large old fashioned hickory rocking chair on the front porch of his house with his head tilted back. Suddenly the sparrows, which had been fighting in midair swooped vio- lently across the porch and either a beak or talon of one caught in the flesh of the sleeping mans neck, tearing a large. jagged wound and cutting the jugular vein.
 By the time Mrs Doll came to the porch from the kitchen her husband lay uncon- scious on the floor. Efforts to check the flow of blood were futile and MT. Doll expired before a physician arrived.

Amendment No. 16

Minnesota in an extra session rati- fled the income tax amendment. Arizona, too, had ratified it. The Louisiana house of representatives propmtly ratified the amendment, and the senate completed the task last week. The vote in the Louisiana senate was 26 to 13. This is all the more gratifying because the sugar planters opposed ratification, be- lieving it would lead to free sugar. This makes 34 ratifying states, and only two more are needed. The two will readily be secured next winter from Florida, Utah, Wyoming, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
 It is reasonably certain that the proposition will become the sixteenth amendment of the constitution early next year, or in about four years from the time that Congress laid it before the states. The fifteenth amendment was ratified in 1870, and the sixteenth will be in 1913. Other amendments will follow in order to keep the fundamental law in working condition, including the direct cleo ton of senators and tbe single six year presidential term.

The South's Prosperity

Editor Richard H. Edmonds of the Baltimore Manufacturers Record be- gins an Illuminating editorial review entitled, "The Outlook for the South's Prosperity" in these characteristic cally glowing words:
 A two months' swing around the circle in the south makes one feel that what has been counted as optimism in regard to this section is really but rank pessimism, so far above all that the Manufacturers Record has claimed Is the broad, sweeping development that is taking place not only in the villages and the towns and the of it's agricultural work, and still more striklngly in the movement of men and money of Europe and America now focus- sing on the south. Not until one travels over wide sweep of territory can he quite grasp the whole panorama that Is being unfolded in southern development. The Richmond man sees the amazing growth of Richmond, and congratulates himself that he is living in a town where there are ever increasing signs of wealth and activity, but he wonders just little whether Lynchburg. Petersburg, Danville and Norfolk are doing much. The Norfolk man is enthusiastio about Norfolk, but he does not know so much about what Rich mond and Roanoke and other places are accomplishing. In Atlanta the writer was
 on several occasions asked as to Bir- mingham, with an air that indicated that while Atlanta people were amazed at the progress of their own city, they were just little skeptical as to whether Birmng
 ham was really going to make good in the carrying out of a development equal to its early promises. Birmingham people are so busy and so absorbed in the phe- nomenal progress of that place that they have little idea of what Atlanta is doing, and when the question was asked as to how the many office buildings recently constructed in Birmingham were being filled before completion, the answer was given that good many people who had had offices in Atlanta were moving over | to Birmingham. not at all aware of the fact that slxyscrapers in Atlanta were be- ing filled with just as much rapidity as | those in Birmingham.
 Mr. Edmonds tells of the thriving condition of the little towns as we'll as the large cities. The small com munities are doing as much relatively as-the "big places" The steady prog ress in southern agriculture is stressed. In every direction are seen more and better farm houses. MT. Edmonds concludes his articles by saying that Great is the south to- day, but it is an infant in swaddling clothes compared with the giant in wealth and power which it is to be within the next ten years"

RooseveIts Weak Cause

"A few weeks ago thought that Col onel Roosevelt would be able to stampede the republican convention, but during the progress of the convention it was easy to see that the ex-President would not succeed,' said l.. F. Brent of Chicago. He was most as good a politician as many men had imagined him to be. His was a self ambition and it overleaped itself. His third party movement Is a frost. Those who have read Senator La- Folletts autobiography are impressed with the note of sincerity running through 1t. The brilliant senator is progressive at heart and the principles he advocates seem altogether reasonable. Roosevelt's ' progressive talk was only so much dem agogy. IaFollette entertained a poor opinion of President Taft. He is greatly disappointed in his administration, but rather than encourage Roosevelts new party movement he will support Taft. He is a republican and nothing could induce lhim to bolt the nomination. LaFollette's s arraignment of Roosevelt, written for his weekly newspaper and published in the associated news of The Age-Herald. will have great weight with thoughtful re- publieans progressives or otherwise Roosevelt's cause IS weak indeed"
