We headed many a Sort1e and many a

We carried Crook, and Custer. and Ter

We chased the redskins ponies through
canyons and defiles;
We never Tagged, or faltered, nor

And we died beside our riders where
the Little Big Horn flows
We went upon short ratiOns till our
ribs stuck through like hoops.
But across hot Arizona we bore great

We suffered thirst and hunger, but We

But gone are all our glOries, who cares

February

m HE incest things about February
are the 30th and 3lst DAYS of the
month, from which we are per
petually excused. and the 29th dav.
which comes only once in four wears.
February comes along when everyone
IS tired Of winter, and is about as vel
come as ninth piece Of pie OF a second
attack of humps. February is Just ike
January only more so at times. but the
calendar isn't hard-hearted enough 70
compel mankind to serve out all of the
usual 3O-day sentence. Brevitv is the
sole cause of February's popularity and
this should be a lesson to every lee
turer
In February the days grow longer
but this pleasure is offset by the an
noyance Of receiving kilograms and
souvenir cards from friends who ara
sitting IN the sunshine in southern
California and exaggersting the climate
IN perfect safety. More than one man
has risen in the middle of an Illinois
February night and has accumulated so
miles of north wind under his NIGHT
shirt while he stood at his front door
and reoeipted for a telegram from his
wife IN Pasadena telling him that roses
are Pertuming the air as she sits on the
hotel porch without wraps on.
Although February contains only 2S
days, 1t Is our most eventful month. /
It's greatest feat has been the produc- /
ton of both Washington and Lincoln. 7
This grateful nation makes HOLIDAYS of I
both birthdays, thus reducing the work /
ing days IN February to p, and max
ing 1t enormously popular with bank
clerks and government employees. In
February also St Valentines dav occurs.

BRO. CHARLES RESPONSIBLE.

BE Behind Threats of Inter-

Charles P. Taft, through his brother,
President Taft, is the power that is
forcing the state department to as
sist President Francisco l. Madero of
Mexico in his fight against the OroZ-
co rebellion, has been made here by
Juan Pedro Didapp, American agent
for the revolutionists. Didapp said :
THE Morgan, Hartman and Spey-
er interests, owning a controlling in
terest in the Mexican Central Rail-
way, and the Standard Oil and the
Pierce Oil interests, desiring to save
their enormous oil and land monnop-
oily, also have combined to force the
United States government to favor
Madero. John Hays Hammond and
Charles P. Taft, however, both OF
whom are heavily interested through
Mexican investments, are the powers
that are working directly on Presi-
dent Taft and the state department
THE state department is merely
the creature of Wall street conspir-
ators and the financial pirates OF
Mexico. The fact that American in
tervention is threatened is certain
proof that President Madero can nc
longer control the situation"

MEDFORD HIGH WINS FIRST.
Domestic Art Department of Our Sis
ter City Gets Prize at State Fair.

The domestic art department of
the Medford high school won the
grand prize at the state fair at Sa-
lem in competition with every high
school of importance in the state.
The news was brought to Superin-
tendent of Schools U. S. Collins We'd
nesday in congratulatory message
from State Superintendent of Schools
L, b. Alderman, and no higher honor
has ever been the fortune of a south
ern Oregon school. Competing with
Medford were the high schools of
Portland, Albany, Eugene, Pendle-
ton, Salem, Baker City and other
towns throughout the state.
A machine-made dress from the
hands of Miss Alice Smith was the
winning entry, and the prize-the
most valuable in the list-was a
modern, up-to-date equipped sewing
machine of the latest style and pat
tern, costing $500 in the ordinary
channels of trade. 1t was the result
of many hours of painstaking work,
and at the time of its completion was
source of wonder and amazement
to the feminine portion of the high
school. The maker of the dress also
received congratulations from state
officials and is a proud girl today.
The verdict of the committee on
the exhibit of the domestic art de-
partment lends credit to the hope
that the exhibits of the manual train
ing department will also win a prize.
This entry is considered by Superin-
tendent Collins as the equal of the
domestic art departments offering.
THE announcement of awards in this
branch is expected by the end of the
week, when the committee completes
! its work.

RUNS OVER DYNAMITE.
Attempt Made to Wreck Southern
Pacific Passenger Train.

Gervais, Ore.-Fifteen minutes af-
fornia Express had passed safely over
the explosive, a Southern Pacific
trackwalker, at 8 O'Clock Monday
morning, discovered 27 sticks of
dynamite between the ties and near
the rails at point one and one-half
miles north of Brooks.
The dynamite was covered with a
gunnysack after a number of the
sticks had been supplied with caps
and connected with the rails by
means of wire.
The express is due in Portland at
S:15 a. m, but was running late and
passed over the planted dynamite
about S:45 o'clock. Traversing the
track, the Gervais trackwalker made
the discovery a few minutes later
The charge was sufficient to have
wrecked the entire train, and it is
regarded as marvellous that the en-
tire equipment should have passed
over it without an accident.
The dynamite was brought to Ger
vais and turned over to the local
agent, who advised the railroad Off
cials in Portland
I'VE received report of the evi'
dent attempt to wreck one of oul
trains through our Gervais agent,
said l.. R. Fields, superintendent OF
the Southern Pacific. I'VE know oi
nobody that has a grudge against us
and have no clew on which to work
Our special agents are at work or
the case in conjunction with the
Marion county sheriff, and we expect
more detailed information soon"
