RANCHERS FLEE FROM MEXICO.
Otis Shepardson Arrives at st. Johns
and Tells Experiences.

st. Johns, Ore.-After an exciting
and disagreeable experience in rebel
lious Mexico, Otis Shepardson his
wife and two children have arrived in
st, Johns and are guests of Mr.. Shep-
ardson's sister, Mrs. e. S. Wright, on
South Hayes street. They recite a
tale of hurried exit and desolation.
Mr.. Shepardson was the owner of
large ranch, well furnished and well
stocked, near Culican, Mexico. A
large company of rebels drew near
and gave the family three hours to
depart. Leaving furniture, horses,
cattle, chickens and most of their
clothing, in company with several
other American families forced to
flee, they proceeded to leave as best
they could. 1t was wearisome jour
ney and at one time for several days
five families were compelled to seek
refuge in one small hut, some of the
party being only partly clothed.
After many vicissitudes and more
than months time, they arrived in
st. Johns in safety, without suffering
any personal violence. Before leav-
ing Mexico they placed list of their
property with the American consul
and expect to be reimbursed for any
damage to property sustained.

Will COMPLETE PROJECT.
Klamath Indian Reservation TO Have
Irrigation Ditch.

Klamath Falls.-That work is like
ly to start on the Modoc Point irriga-
tion project on Klamath Indian reser-
vation before the summer ends is the
statement made by Indian Agent Ed
son Watson.
Congress has already appropriated
money to complete this project and
work would have been begun last
year had not the $50, 900 made avail
able for commencement become en-
tangled with some other appropria-
tions, and the Indian department has
not been able to get the tangle un-
wound. 1t is now expected that this
money will be available within a
short time and that active work can
be commenced.
This project embraces about 5000
acres of fine bottom land lying at
the base of Saddle mountain and be-
tween this and Upper klamath lake,
with the lake and mountain and Will
hanson river making the three bor-
ders, the land being in triangle
shape. This land is considered
among the very best agricultural land
in the entire Klamath basin. 1t will
grow any kind of crops under the
sun that will grow in the northwest
and is especially adapted to fruit
growing. The land all belongs to the
klamath Indians and will be the
richest agricultural portion of the
country when it is watered. The en-
tire appropriation for this project is
$3.50, 900, with $4,000 made avail
able Immediately when the tangle
above referred to is Strengthened out.

FINDS HIDDEN CABIN.
Prospector Believes Treasure is Bur-
led Near Place.

Rivaling in interest the widest
flights of the novelists fancies of
hidden treasure buried on the shores
of the Spanish main by the swash-
buckling pirates of old. a tale of
treasure buried So years ago in Jack
son county has come to light. j. NJ.
Howard, pioneer prospector, after a
weary search of six years has located
the rotting cabin on the banks of a
wild mountain stream. which is said
to have been the home of the men
buTying a vast treasure looted from
the Adams Express Company bank
when it failed in San Francisco in
the early SOS. Now he needs but TO
find one Charles H. Owens of Michi-
gan, who came to this valley six years
ago and started Mr.. Howard on his
long search for the hidden cabin,
which he has just found.
1t was six years ago that Mr.
Owens first appeared on the scene.
Enlisting the aid of Mr.. Howard, who
knows every canyon and hidden vale
in southern Oregon, he started
search for an old cabin said to be
located on the banks of a mountain
stream near series of beautiful
falls Mr.. Howard knew of no such
cabin but undertook the search. Con-
tinuing unsuccessful, Owens quit
work, but in quitting he minutely de-
scribed the cabin and its surround
ings. and left. He stated that he had
been given a description of the place
by one of the men who had assisted
in its building and in the burying of
a vast treasure Owens knew the
exact location of the treasure, but
this information he did not divulge.
The man who had told him of it died
shortly after imparting the informa-
rion to Owens.
Owens, on giving up the search for
the cabin, left for Portland, his pres
ent whereabouts being unknown.
Chagrined by the fact that the
mountains he knew so well had hid
den at least one spot from him, How
ard continued his search A few
days ago he stumbled onto it. AL
most hidden by the growth of half
century, it lay rotting in exactly the
position described by the side of the
mountain stream pouring over a
series of cascades The six years
search was at an end.
Mr.. Howard is confident that in
the neighborhood of the cabin is
buried treasure, which, when found,
will make him Independent for life
In 1854 the Adams Express Com
pany bank at San Francisco failed
as a result of its being looted by it's
officers The looters attempted to
flee by sea but the sailors on the
small vessel took the loot, amounting
to several hundred thousand dollars,
from them and escaped on shore.
Two of these sailors are said to have
showed up at Jacksonville in the
early sos, and retiring to a secluded
place in the mountains, built a cabin
and buried their treasure. Later one
of the men died and the other, taking
a few thousand dollars, went east
He kept his secret locked until he
realized death was near him. Then
he impaired the news to Owens
Howard is now endeavoring to locate
Owens. Failing in this he will make
systematic and thorough search oi

JAPAN LOVES Us.
College President Says Mikado Too
Poor 10 Fight.

David Starr Jordan declared to his
hosts, the Progressive Business Men s
Club and the Unitarian Club, in Port
land Tuesday, that Japan was the
one country which loves the United
States. He emphasized the "one"
and commented on his visit to Japan
last year TO deliver 60 peace lectures.
He said the people there showed the
most remarkable interest in peace
proposals of any he had ever known.
Instead of Japan being proud of her
military achievements, and feeling
that she had forged herself to the
front through such exploits, the Stan
ford president insisted that Japan
feels deeply the burden of debt i'm.
posed and the poverty of the people
in trying to meet war exactions
An income tax was declared to ex-
ist in Japan, ranging from 10 per
cent on the man whose income is
small, to 35 per cent for the man
whose income is large. In addition,
the taxes are heavy on every hand.
Jordan said Japan is unable to un-
dertake a war with the United States.
A charge was made by the Stan
ford president against the forces
standing for war He said the most
powerful lobby known to the world
and the most powerful bribe force is
that maintained by the great ship
builders and armament manufacture
ers to keep up the war sentiment
To offset this, the present $3.50, 700
available each year for peace educa-
tion he believed wholly inadequate,
and wealthy men were invited to
make occasional heavy contributions

H. A. Reed, one of the owners of
the stage line, drove the car and ..e
states that the roads are in fairly
good condition-this side of the
mountains being in excellent shape,
but the road on the coast side of the
mountains is quite soft on account
of the heavy timber through which
it passes, though in another week

Roseburg to Build Armory.

One of the final steps toward the
construction of a new armory i'll
Roseburg was taken Thursday after
noon when the county court, in spec
ial session, authorized an appropria-
tion of $4,000 out of the general
fund to meet that amount of the total

its site will cost. This action of the
court followed the receipt from the

WORK ON BRIDGE BEGUN.
Contractor Takes Preliminary Steps
for Construction.

Work on the construction of the
proposed new bridge over Bear creek
at the east line of West Main street
in Medford was started by Contractor
Perham Thursday morning. A crew
of men is engaged in cutting away
the brush on the west end of the
bridge and making preliminary ex-
cavations. In issuing his temporary
restraining order Judge Calkins did
not enjoin the contractor from pro-
ceeding. The matter will be deter
mined today at Portland and the
contractor figures that the small
amount of work accomplished will
amount to but little even if perma-
nent restraining order is issued.

for British Syndicate.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The visit to

leading British yachtsman, has
caused a revival of rumors of a
forthcoming challenge for the
Americas cup.
Mr. Allom is believed to be can
wasting the situation in behalf of an
English syndicate which stands ready
to build a yacht of the 23-meter class
with which to challenge for the up.
Like Sir Thomas Upton, however. he
does not favor the old rules governing
the trophy, and would want the New

There is something about his make

prognathous. BY his voice and the
fire in his eye he inspires his men to
noble deeds on the diamond. 1t is al

teristics of a leader who has power to
sway men.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. at was
announced at the headquarters of the
Phillies last night that the regular
annual meeting of the Philadelphia
Club, scheduled for yesterday, was
postponed. The object of the post
ponement was to give Horace Fogel,
former president of the club, time to
complete any deal he might have
under way on an option of purchase
which is said to expire on December
IL or II.
According to reports, Fogel is head
ing a syndicate of wealthy men that
viii buy the club before the option
Fogel has expires. If such a thing
comes to pass a peculiar situation
will be created. With Fogel at the
head of the Phillies, and barred from
actual participation at the league
meetings, there is apt to be an erup-
ton in the National League.

that the West Point season opened

The Navy, on the other hand, re-
