CHILD WANDERS AWAY
1hree-Hear-Old Daughter of Ante
lope Rancher Spends Night Under
Bush, Three Miles From Home.

After wandering alone and lost for
"a hours, the 3-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Bradshaw, who
reside on the Antelope property
owned by the Rogue River CONNER
cial Orchard Company, was found
Sunday afternoon, tired out but un-
harmed, after nearly a hundred
friends and neighbors had spent a
full day and night hunting for her
The little one wandered away Satur-
day morning and was not found until
the next day at noon, three miles
from the home.
Saturday morning Mrs. Bradshaw
was very busy with her housework
and did not notice that Marie, her
3-year-old daughter, was straying
away. Later she began a search and
could not find the child. She then
summoned help and by nightfall the
irrigation ditch had been drained
and searched, the well had been
drained and every building searched.
With nightfall the search was re-
doubled but no trace was found of
the child.
Sunday morning one of the search
ers found a small gingham apron
worn by the child about two miles
from the farm house This placed
the searchers on the trail of the cr
and about mile farther on the lit
tie one was found No injury has re-
suited from the night in the open.
Il slept under a bush" was the
child's only explanation.

PoKEGANIA ROAD ABANDONED
superintendent Abbott and Family
Leave for East.

With the completion of the timber
cut in the vicinity of Pokegama and
the subsequent tearing up of the
railroad from that point to Fall
River the existence of Pokegama as
an active mill center passed away.
The mill has been moved to Upper
klamath Lake and the Weyerhauser
road from Fall River to Thrall has
been leased to the California & Ore
gon Power Company.
As result of these changes, e. r.
Abbott, who has made his home in
this city for several years. has re-
moved with his family to their for
mer home in Minneapolis. Mr.. Abb
bott and family are we'll known in
Ashland and their departure is re-
GREETED by a host of friends. Mr.
Abbott has been in the employ of
the Weyerhauser company for a
number of years in the capacity of
superintendent.

GETS BAD FRUIT.
Klamath Falls Merchants Complain
of MedfOrd Shipments.

Local merchants have had consid-
erable trouble the last two or three
days with berries and fruit shipped
from Medford which has arrived in
such a condition that many boxes
have been refused and hauled away
to the dumping grounds as worth
less.
The merchants claim that the fruit
and berries that they have been re-
ceiving from Ashland have arrived
in fairly good condition, but since
these products have been coming
from Medford they have arrived in
such a condition that they have re-
fused to accept them from the ex-
press company.
Medford is only a few miles north
of Ashland and the distance is so
short that it is not believed that the
extra distance can be the cause. The
boxes are handled only twice by the
express company before reaching
this city, and as the boxes arrive here
covered with stain where the Juice
has run out and the cups about half
full, it is believed that the berries
are being shipped overripe and that
the Medford people are trying to pass
off inferior fruits on local merchants.
Peaches arrive here so soft and de-
cayed that they are not unloaded
from the express wagons.
H. B. Manchester called up Med
ford on the telephone recently and
as he could not get any satisfaction
out of the commission house where
the fruit has been coming from, told
them that he could not afford to take
any moe chances with their fruit.
County Fruit Inspector o. A.
Stearns said when asked concerning
the matter that he could not take
any action unless the fruit was dis
eased, but that there ought to be a
city pure food inspector to look after
such matters Falls North

SEES BROTHER DROWN.
Engineer Witnesses Tragedy From
Cab Window.

st. Louis, Mo.-When passing Van
dalia slough in East ST. Louis Sunday
morning, Leo Deatherage, engineer
on the Vandalia line, witnessed from
his cab window the drowning of a
12-year-old boy, who later he learned
was his younger brother, William.
Deatherage was in heavy freight
engine hauling long train from the
other side of the river, The engine
was going slowly near the slough.
Deatherage saw every move in the
tragedy.
Just before he pulled into the
round house in East st. Louis he re-
marked to his companion that several
boys had been drowned in the slough
and told of seeing another accident
as his train had passed. A minute
later a message was delivered to him
telling him that his brother had been
, drowned
Because several men were near
I when William ventured into deep wa
ter, Deatherage did not stop his en-
gine to go to the rescue. Three ne
groes fishing on the bank ten feet
from William, heard his cries as he
went down, but made no effort to as
sist him.

WOUND PROVES FATAL.
Redwood Teacher Dies From Acci-
dental Shot in Leg.

Charles Serve, a teacher, recently

goeum, in Evans valley, for the past
two months, accidentally shot him
self while hunting in the vicinity of
Wilcox gulch, Saturday, and after

RESTRAINING ORDER ISSUED.
Erection of Brick Building in Med
ford Halted Temporarily.

A temporary restraining order has
been issued by Frank NJ. Calkins,
Judge of the circuit court, stopping
the erection of the Neidermeyer
brick building at the corner of
Eighth and Fir streets, in Medford,
as the building is so close to the
Rogue River Valley Railroad that the
box cars strike the bricks.
TIT railroad bases its suit for ain
Injunction on deed given the rail
road 22 years ago by the owner of
the lot at that time, which grants,
for consideration of 500, the right
to the corner for the operation of the
tracks, including several feet where
cars hang over the private property
there.
Mr.. Neidermeyer, who recently
purchased the lot, started the erec-
tion of a two-story brick livery sta
BILE. The south wall runs nearly to
the track, so close that a box car has
already dislodged some of the brick
Work must cease now until the suit
filed by Barnum is settled.

M'MAHON RANCH SOLD
Illinois Parties Take Over 1900
Acre Tract-Will Plant to Fruit
and SubdiVide.

Miss Kate F. O'Connor and Ed
ward Butterfield of Rockford, H.,
have taken over the old Mcmahon
ranch of 1900 acres lying six miles
northwest of Ashland and will cut
up the property into five and ten
acre tracts.
The property was purchased from
Lester w. David of the David Lum-
Der Company of Seattle and is one
of the richest sections in southern
Oregon. The purchasers had the soil
examined by experts and the result
was so flattering that the deal was
closed at once.
Miss O'Connor, prominent through
out the country as club woman and
suffragette, conducts large real es-
tate business in Rockford, ILL.,, and
will have her main office in that
city A branch office will probably
be established here. Mr.. Butterfield
is a successful business man who
owns and manages a string of retail
stores throughout northern Illinois
He is in the valley with his wife and
children and will make his home on
the new tract. He made the present
purchase after looking over orchard
property throughout Washington,
Oregon and California, and decided
on this vicinity because it impressed
him as being the most promising
district on the Pacific coast.
Miss O'Connor and Mr.. Butterfield
with G. j. Blake of Seattle and Mr.
P. r. Kennedy of Los Angeles in
spected the property Tuesday and
were all enthusiastic over it. 1t is
planned to set out pear trees, the
soil, according to experts, being par
ticulaply well adapted to that fruit
Miss O'Connor has just returned
from the meeting of the Federation
of Women's Clubs in San Francisco.
She is enthusiastic over the valley
and predicts a brilliant future.
The old Mcmahon ranch was for
merly a cattle ranch. 1t has plenty
of water and numberless scenic
building sites. 1t IS about three
miles east of Talent.

FREIGHT RATE
PROHBITTVE
CALIFORNIA CONCERN EXAMINES
KAOLIN.
PRODUCT IS FOUND SUITABLE
-Four Sacks Forwarded Some Time
Ago Are Analysed and Pronounced
Excellent, But Cost of Transporta-
ton is Too High.

j. M. Wagner has received defi-
mite information as to the compost
tion and usefulness of the samples
of kaolin sent several weeks ago to
the Santa Cruz Portland Cement
Company, which is distinctly favor
able to the product. The freight
rate on the material, however, is
found to be prohibitive and the i'm
mediate prospect of establishing a
market for this great asset is not
encouraging.
Early in June Mr.. Wagner received
a request for samples of the kaolin,
which exists in unlimited quantities
east of this city. Four sacks of the
product were Immediately secured
and forwarded to the company's
works at Davenport, Cal, where the
material underwent a thorough an
alysis. The result of this analysis
was entirely satisfactory to the COM
pany the kaolin being found to pos
sess the proper ingredients for the
manufacture of white cement Upon
investigation of the cost of transpor-
tation from Ashland to Davenport,
however, it was found that freight
charges alone would be $3.50 per
ton. In addition to this, the cost
of bringing the kaolin from the hills
to Ashland would be in the neigh
borhood of So.
While the company recognizes the
value of this product and would be
pleased to use it, these revelations
make it out of the question for the
present at least. Mr., Wagner re-
ceived a personal letter from the
company in which the facts were set
forth as above stated. Looks like it
is up to Ashland to induce the com
pany or some other one to come to
Ashland to manufacture their ce-
ment.

'SANATORIUM Blue PRINTS ARRIVE
PLANS FOR $25OOOOOO INSTITUTION AT BUCKHORN LODGE SHOW
2lS ROOMS BESIDES AMUSEMENT FEATURES.

Developments in the matter of the
proposed sanatorium to be erected at
the present site of Buckhorn Lodge,
formerly known as Tolman Springs,
seem to indicate that plans for this
immense institution will be carried
out as formerly projected. The lat
est news is the arrival of blue prints
with full details of the building.
Stevens & Company, one of the big
gest architectural concerns in the
country, with offices in a dozen of
the largest cities, drew the plans,
which call for an institution costing
$250,000 complete in very detail for
the health and enjoyment of it's
patrons.
1t will be remembered that Mime
apolis parties are behind the move,
Messrs. Eitel and Holliston having
given instructions to the Stevens
company for the drawing of plans.
Dr.. Eitel owns a large sanitarium in
Minnesota, while Mr.. Holliston is a
capitalist who came here some time
ago and found relief at the springs
The plans call for an immense
building with 21S rooms, OF two
stories and basement. The form
is that of a big hollow square, every
room being an outside one. Recep-
tion halls and spacious rest rooms
are provided, which the exterior is
designed to give an appearance OF
luxury and restfulness, with green
sward, flower beds and fountains
In fact, the institution will be one
of the greatest health resorts of it's
kind in the country and would lead
to the establishment of others at the
numerous mineral springs in this vi
cinity.
Ashland is the logical railroad
point for this sanatorium. The loca-
tion of these springs is about twelve
miles from this city and good auto
mobile road from here to the springs
would make it of easy access. 1t is

Rogue River Council Also Considers
Water System.

At the adjourned meeting of the
town council Wednesday evening a
proposition was entertained to accept
an offer for the water and light
bonds. The offer was made through
local people by Medford capitalists
and was for par.
Specifications were prepared and
submitted for the construction of a
city hall by Contractor Young. Con-
tractor Shasta was notified that the
water system would be accepted pro-
Vided that a good and sufficient bond
was given to insure the nonbreakage
of the reservoir and the bursting OF
pipe joints for a period of six months.
A permit was granted to the Odd Eel
lows to employ portion of Main and

BERGER is PLEASED.
Says Resignation of Hanford is Ad-

Washington take Judge Han

his guilt" was the statement of Con-
gressman Victor Berger of Wiscon-
sin, who introduced the resolution
calling for the impeachment of the
Seattle jurist. When informed that
Hanford had rendered his resigna-
tion to President Taft, Berger said:
I'm introducing my resolution call

bench generally and not Judge Han

POTATOES BEING SHIPPED.
For First Time, Balance is in Favor
of Exports.

The first car of potatoes ever
shipped out of the Rogue river val
ley was sent out last week. 1t is esti-
mated that the potato crop will be
between 10000 and 10000 sacks as
against less than half the quantity
last year.
A year ago some twenty odd cars
OF potatoes were imported by the val
ley, showing that the valley is daily
becoming more self-sustaining, the
result principally of the extension of
irrigating systems and the increased
use of water.
Hay is also being shipped from the
valley this year, when a year ago a
net total of 163 cars were imported.
Egg shipments continue weekly,
and for the first time no eggs have
been shipped in for some months.

AUTO PARTY
VISITS LAKE
c. B. LAMKIN AND f. v. CARTER
DRIVE ALMOST TO RIM.
ENCOUNTER VERY LITTLE SNOW
Machines Run to Within Quarter
Mile of Crater-ROads Both Ways
Reported TO BE in Fine Condi-
ton.

E. V. Carter and C. B. Lamkin,
with party of ten, drove their ma
chimes to within a quarter of a mile
oil the rim of Crater Lake last Satur-
day. The party, which was made up
of Mr.. and MRS. Lamkin, Mr.. and
Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Ella Mills, Miss
Ella Ford of Chicago, Miss Nina
Ford of Georgia, Mrs. Kidd and son
Paul of Oakland, Cal, and H. r.
Lamkin, left Ashland at GAS Satur-
day morning, going up by the Rogue
river road over the Bybee bridge,
through Trail and Prospect. They
made two-hour stop on the road
and arrived at the superintendent
office at Camp Arant at $50 in the
evening. They spent the night at
the camp, which they report overrun
with visitors, so much so that the
superintendent was Obliged to open
his home for them for the night.
Sunday morning was spent at the
lake, which members of the party say
surpasses in grandeur anything they
have yet seen on the continent. The
last quarter mile was impossible for
autos on account of the snow, which
Is from one to three feet deep, and
the party was obliged to make this
short distance on foot. The weather
was favorable and splendid view
of the lake and surroundings was af-
forded Several hours were spent
here.
The return trip was made by way
of Klamath Falls, the party arriving
at that point at o'clock Monday af-
ternoon. 1t was their original inten-
tion to spend the night at Klamath
Falls, but the machines had been
running so smoothly that the run in
was attempted It was II o'clock
when they reached Ashland, the
Green Spring Mountain road having
all to be traversed in the dark. Pine
hurst was reached at g.
They report no bad luck with their
machines, both cars making the trip
without mishap and running smooth
ily at all times, The roads both COM
ing and going are reported to be ex-
cellent. Mr. Lamkin stated that it
was not difficult to tell when they
reached the county line on the re-
turn, the klamath side of the line
presenting perfect highway, while
the Jackson county side was far in
ferior.
