Lost Boy Found.

Miss Marie Myers, aged II years,
daughter of o. V. Myers, turned de-
tective Wednesday and brought back
to Policeman Paddy Mego his 49,
year-old son, Louis, who ran away
Tuesday night and was supposed to
have been kidnapped. The fact that
Miss Myers thought she was going to
lose an agreeable playmate also had
something to do with her early
launching forth as a feminine Sher-
lock Holmes. When she heard that
Louis was missing she had a sus-
picion that he was hiding out in the
tall grass on West Main street, where
the boys play Indian, and so stated
at the time.
Louis, the missing boy, remained
all night in the tall grass, and in the
morning the little daughter of August
Singler met him on the way to school.
He told her that he was hungry and
she gave him her MONDAY lunch,
bucket and all. Miss Singler did not
know who he was or that Miss Myers
was trying to find him. Louis, after
eating the meal, retired into the tall
grass and waited for the boys to
come from school, in the meantime
thinking over the advisability of
sleeping out another night.
Wednesday afternoon two little
| boy friends of Miss Myers sent out
to investigate reported that Louis
was in the tall grass. She straight
away telephoned to the police and
Constable August Singler was sent
out. He found the missing boy cry
ing, and he readily admitted his
identity and expressed a willingness
to be back with his father. He said
he was waiting for his father to
awake from his sleep before return
| ing for parental forgiveness.
Louis was brought down in an au-
tomobile and cried his eyes out. He
could give no reason for his disap-
pearance, except that he wanted some
excitement. Several boy friends of
Louis knew where he was, but by a
peculiar code of boys, refused to tell
| his whereabouts, holding it as a Sc
cret. In the meantime the father,
worry-worn and grief-stricken, hoped
for his sons safe return, fearing
| that he had met with an accident or
had been Kidnapped When the two
met there was great reunion, for
| giveness and an honest promise never
to run away again.
And Miss Myers feels proud of her
detective abilityand Louis is a hero
among his boy friends.

McGOVERN OUT FOR TEDDY.
Wisconsin Governor Refuses to Fol-
low La Toilette.

Madison, Wis, Sept 26.-Backing
down from the recent stand he took
when he declared he would support
Governor Wilson of New Jersey for
president, Governor McGovern of
Wisconsin changed front again today
and came out for Colonel Roosevelt,
the progressive candidate.
Theodore Roosevelt" McGnvern
declared in formal statement to-
day, lis the choice of all republicans
and progressives.
The statement of Governor McGov-
ern is regarded as the parting of the
ways between Senator La Toilette
and the governor. The latter de-
clared that President Taft was re-
nominated through fraud; that the
history of his administration is ''in
the main record of political incom-
potency and retrogression. Cover
nor McGovern further declared that
the progressive platform is a model.
La Follette's magazine, out today.
carries an editorial favoring the re-
publican state ticket, and promises
the publication of five articles show
ing whether Roosevelt left a
straight or a crooked trail" The
editorial says:
'McGovern's sorry ATTEMPT to
serve the influences that caused him
to dip his fingers into the Roosevelt
tar barrel at Chicago should not be
weighed against his record while in
the governors chair"

FIRST TIME IN THEATRE.
Aged Lady Attends to See Relatives
Act.

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 28.-Mrs.
Margaret Thompson of Moscow,
Idaho, lived rs years before she wit
messed a performance in a theatre.
When she attended her first show in
Spokane last week it was to see her
son, daughter and son-in-law in a
vaudeville act.
Mrs. Thompson went to the theatre
on Sunday for her first glimpse of
footlights. When her children,
known to stage folk as Jack Wilson,
Ada Lane and Franklyn Bate, made
their appearance in the encore, they
caught sight of an elderly woman in
the stage box. 1t was Mrs Thomp-
sons little surprise for them, for they
had not been told she would be there.
How do you like it, mother?"
asked one of her children" But
Mrs. Thompson was too excited to an
swer All she could do was wave her
arms excitedly and express her de-
light in smiles.
1t has been wonderful week for
the aged Idaho woman. When she
grew tired of watching the players
across the footlights she wandered
back of the scenes, where fresh revel-
ations greeted her. She never seemed
to tire of studying the mechanical eff
fects that are part of stagecraft.
She watched the plays and the play
ers from the boxes and from the
wings. But more than anything else
she enjoyed getting acquainted with
her children as they are in the life
that is new to her.
Not the least strange part of the
affair was Mrs. Thompson's first ac-
quaintance with her son-in-law, whom
she had never seen until the moment
she entered the theatre Then she
saw him in all the shining black of a
minstrel man. She thought him eX-
ceedingly funny, she explained later,
but she confided the hope that he
would look more worthy of her
daughter when he got rid of that
''black stuff" And evidently he did
look better off the stage, for Mrs.
Thompson has been happy ever since.
There was only one cloud in the sky
that Mrs Thompson saw that week.
She was worried on Sunday because
it was the first time in 26 years she
had missed attending church.

TEDDY TALKS BEAR HUNTING
Candidate Finds Comrades of Former
Trip.

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 25.-Ex-
President Roosevelt dropped his
campaign today and talked deep wa
terways and bear hunting instead.
He spent most of the day in Little
tonight. 1t was a rainy depressing
day. Colonel Roosevelt was fatigued
when he arrived here, and went to
his room.
There was one brief incursion into
politics during the day. When he
was on his way from Little Rock to
Memphis the colonel went out onto
his platform to greet a small com
pany that had gone in the rain to see
him as he passed through. He
talked to them for a moment.
You ought to belong to the pro-
gressive party" he said, 'if for no
other reason than because we are
trying to abolish boss rule"
He said the republican nomination
had been taken by theft, and when
l say theft, l speak with scientific
accuracy"
When Colonel Roosevelt reached
Memphis a crowd was waiting for
him at the station, but he hurried to
his hotel and disappeared. The
crowd followed into the lobby and
cheered. After the cheering had con-
tinued five minutes, General Mellow
ell, commander of the United Con
federate Veterans of Tennessee, told
the crowd that Colonel Roosevelt
needed rest and would not make a
speech. The cheering went on the
more loudly. After another five
minutes more Colonel Roosevelt ca
pitulated. He came out on the bal
cony, thanked the crowd and added
Now, | want to act as town crier
myself. If there are any of the
crowd | went bear hunting with here,
| want to see them. | want them to
come right up and talk about bars. u
| The bear hunters were there, and
Colonel Roosevelt sat up for another
hour talking over his famous bear
hunt in Mississippi, when he was
president.

The Exposition That VIII BE Ready

San Francisco, Sept. 2S.-"The
exposition that will be ready, is the
slogan that we wish to put before the
public at this time so that the good
news may be heralded throughout
the world" declares Charles c..
Moore, president of the Panama-Pa-
cific International EXposition
within ten months each one of the
great exhibit palaces of the main
group of exposition buildings will be
under construction. All of them will
be completed on or before June 25,
1914.
The first great palace to be COM
menced will be that devoted to ma
chinery. The contract for this will
be let on or before November II.
From then on contracts for the other
great exhibit palaces will be let at
the rate of two month, and all of
these great structures must be in
course of construction inside of nine
months. 1t is estimated that ten
months is the maximum limit of time
necessary to complete the most elab-
crate of the palaces.
While other eXpositions have en-
piOg q = cat Ol men SnOIt-
ly before their opening and have con-
sequently cost great deal in time
and efficiency, we will distribute our
labor so that the maximum employ
ment will come long time before the
exposition opens. A large number of
men will be given employment with
in ninety days, and this number will
be gradually increased until the fall
of 1913, when the work of construc-
tion will be at its height on all build
ings, and as rapidly as these are COM
pleted the number of men will be-
come less from month to month.
The early start upon the exposi.
tion will give it an incalculable ad.
vantage and greatly contribute to its
prestige and success. 1t will serve tc
stimulate the entire work. which is
now in ali nportaLt phases relative
Iy much further advanced than a
other great worlds expositions.
1T is anticipated that the con
struction work to be undertaken b,
the different states and nations will
keep pace with the progress mad
upon the exposition palaces.
THE finishing of the buildings a
so early a date will give ample tim
for the setting and growth of tn
trees, shrubs and vines which will b
transplanted upon the expositio
grounds"

University Faculty Bars All Drinkers

University of Oregon.-To make
dryness doubly dry, the faculty of the
State University has assumed control
over the actions of the students not
only while they are in Eugene, where
no liquor can be sold, but even when
they leave the college town for other
cities. A drastic rule has been passed
under which drinking in any saloon
makes student subject to dismissal.
No improprieties had been report
ed, but it was thought best to go on
record at once, and let the students
know what to expect. The faculty
feels that this extension of authority
is justified by the fact that many of
the students are under age, and are
entrusted to the university by their
parents, and that it will be sustained
by the public sentiment of Oregon.
In Eugene the anti-liquor law has
been enforced for six years.

BIGGEST SALE

RECENT DEAL INVOLVES $40
ACRES OF LAND.
TOTAL PRICE PAID IS $35O,OOO
\. A. Davis Sells Large Tract to NJ.
#. Minnie Realty Co. of Oakland
Medford Golf Course and 43O-Acre
Orchard.

The largest realty deal of the year
was consummated today, says the
Mail Tribune, when A. A. Davis sold
TO the NJ. T. Minnie Realty Co. of
Oakland, Cal, $40 acres of land for
$350,0OO. Two hundred acres of the
land adjoins Medford city limits on
the east and until recently was used
as a golf course by the Medford
Country Club. The balance is or
chard property five miles northeast
of Medford, on the Pacific & Eastern
Railroad, 430 acres being in young
apple and pear orchard from two to
five years of age. The new corners
will plant the balance to orchard,
subdivide and sell in small tracts.
The sale was made by Colonel J. F..
Mundy.
The orchard property, which
brought $400 an acre, consists of a
square mile of land, bisected by the
railroad. The entire tract is under
water. 1t is ideally situated for or
chard purposes. The land is sticky,
with gentle slopes, well drained. In
cluded are the buildings at Davis
and the townsite.
ue MlHHlb VIII OuJ
Mr. Davis original intention of sub
dividing and selling in small tracts.
The property is laid out with road
ways for division into five, seven and
ten acre tracts.
Mr. Davis purchased the property
five years ago at fraction of it's
present value, but asserts he can do
the same thing over again and prob
ably will. He says:
II have the utmost confidence in
the future of the Rogue River val
ley, and could do over again what
! have done, with equal or greater
profit, for / will have the benefit OF
my mistakes. No place that l know
offers better opportunity than this
section to the investor and developer.
When | paid $50 an acre for this
unimproved property years ago, peo-
pie said | was crazy, but | worked
with definite plan, each year plant
ing large acreage to fruit, and
some of the orchards will soon be
in bearing. There is great deal of
unimproved land here, just as avail
able as this was five years ago, which
can be developed with equal profit.
81 shall probably, after a few
months rest, do the same thing over
again, for | do not know any better
investment than Rogue River realty
have never lost faith or had colo
feet on my venture and my faith anC
confidence has been justified.
Mr.. Davis is a pioneer capitalist
and developer. He built the first
flour mill in Medford and is a large
timber owner. He furnished large
part of the money that started the
Pacific & Eastern Railroad and was
its first president.
In the Minnie Realty Company are
two brothers of George Morse of Tai
ent, who has made considerable
money in valley realty, and they will
probably handle the property locally
