claimed for Rogue river places arc
already appropriated by other peo-
pie, and about half of those filed

official recognition because they
were infringements on names already
of record, one being that OF Oak

called his Murphy farm, and the
other Mountain Home. the title Civ

other "Hillsdale," the Leonard Or
chards home place.

LUTHER MCCARTHY KILLED
IN FIGHT AT CALGARY

Calgary, May PA terrific blow
over the heart dealt by Arthur Pei
key today ended the life of Luther
MeCarty of Kansas, white heavy
weight champion 6f the world. The
tragic ending of what was to have
been a 20-round bout for the worlds
championship, came shortly after the
first round opened,
McCarty opened the round care
fully, apparently intending to feel
out his man After a few seconds of
sparring, Pelkey broke through Nc
Carty's guard with terrific blow
over the heart. McCarty's mouth
opened, his knees sagged and he
dropped unconscious to the floor.
When ordinary methods OF reviv-
ing McCarty failed, a physician was
called, but the Kansan failed to re-
spond. He lived but short time.
McCarty was unconscious for So
minutes. He died without regaining
his senses. Physicians who attempt
ed to revive the fighter stated that
his condition appeared to be perfect
II Is believed Pelkey's blow ruptured
one Of the hearts main arteries.
More than 1000 persons witnessed
the tragedy. The Kansan entered
the ring at exactly 12;45 o'clock and
was given an ovation. Pelkey fol-
lowed almost Immediately. The
champion was a 10 to Z favorite with
little Pelkey money in sight.

OREGON MAKES BID FOR
SWEDISH IMMIGRANTS.

Portland, May 27-For the pur-
pose of aiding the Oregon state immi-
grafton commission and immigration
Agent G. c. Chapman in carrying on
campaign to bring Swedish settlers
to Oregon, large and representative
committee Of Portland Swedish
Americans was appointed today at a
meeting held at the Portland COM
mercial club. The influence of this
committee will be extended to all
parts of the state in order that it will
be fully conversant with all matters
pertaining to land values and posi-
bilities for development of the soil,
and thereby to be In position to pro-
tect settlers and immigrants against
the practices of land sharks who give
out glowing promises of prosperity
without foundation of fact
The committee will also act as a
board to appraise land values so that
when inquiries are made prospective
land buyers may obtain information
that will be reliable and authentic.

LIVESTOCK VALUES IN
PORTLAND TAKE SLUMP

Portland, May 27.-As a result of
the pouring into the local market of
great herds of California, Montana,
Utah, Idaho and local cattle, caused
by the importation of fresh beef from
Australia by California interests,
there was a very severe slump of val
ues Of livestock at North Portland
yards today.
During the last "a hours the price
of cattle here has broken fully 70
cents per hundred pounds, this being
the greatest decline for a like period
this season and one of the greatest
ever known here, and there are indi-
cations of a continuation of this con-
dition.
Cattle interests here are very much
depressed as a result of this avail
anche Of prices. Consumers will be
the only ones to benefit as a result of
the importations Of foreign beef, but
it has been many a month since the
public has had such a chance to taste
real beef and the lowering of prices
here will be the signal for much Joy.
Fresh beef prices invariably follow
the lead Of the livestock market.

MUSIC CLUB GIVES
IT'S FINAL PROGRAM.

On Monday evening at the Com
mercial club rooms was given the
final program of the Grants Pass
Music club for the season. A mixed
program was presented, and it proved
to be one of the most pleasing of the
year II. G. Marshall rendered a roll
licking sailor song that was especially
suited to his deep bass voice, and re-
sponded to an encore with love
song that showed the expressive
quality of his voice.
Miss Lois Dale made her first ap-
pearance at the piano and surprised
the majority of those present by her
fluent rendition of two transcriptions
from Wagner's "Tannhauser," show
ing that she is very promising piano
student.
The well-known bass number, the
grisly Turkeys Song" with its
suggestion of dungeons and gallows,
was given by Mr.. Cass, with Prof.
MacMurray at the piano, and he was
called out for a second number
Mrs. Edith Burroughs, who Is also
newcomer In the club circle, pre-
sented two pleasing soprano numbers,
the encore, "Rosalie," being render
ed with fine effect
The strongest feature of the even
ing was the "Lorelei" of Liszt, rem
dered in a mastery manner by Prof
MacMurray. A beautiful selection
from David" was given in fine form
by Geo. p. Cramer and II. l.. An
drews, who were called upon to re-
peat a portion of the duet.
This made up full hour of musi-
cal work that was very acceptable to
the audience, and the social hour was
rounded out with refreshments in the
form of ice cream and cakes.
The annual report of the secretary
showed that the finances of the club
were in good condition, or would be
as soon as delinquent dues were col
lected. The matter of a program for
Grants Pass Day at the Ashland Chau.
tauqua was again brought up and a
committee Of three was appointed by
the chair to make arrangements fol
that event, which it is expected will
be credit to the club and the city.
One Of the brightest features of the
evening was a reading by Mrs. San
Baker, giving most amusing dem
onstration of how a couple Of college
girls will get together and study
making a delightful combination Of
astronomy and bangs, geometry and
the latest rag-time.

SLIM CHANCE FOR
ILLINOIS BOXING BILL.

Chicago, May 27.-Chances OF the
boxing bill pending before the Illi-
nois legislature becoming a law are
believed slim here today because OF
the tragic ending of the Pelkey-Mc-
Carly fight at Calgary. Several re-
lgious organizations have renewed
their campaign against the legislation
and promoters have relinquished OPP
tions on halls where they intended to
stage boxing matches.

TEDDY FOR LIBEL

Marquette, Mich, May 26.-The
suit of former president of the
United States to recover $4,000
damages for alleged libel by a news
paper editor began here before
Judge Richard G. Flanagan, of the
Marquette county circuit court, to-
day when the case of Theodore
Roosevelt versus George A. Newett,
of Ishpeming, Mich, went 10 trial
Newett, during the last presiden-
tial campaign, printed a scathing ed
itorial arraignment of Roosevelt and
his organization of the progressive
party, in the Iron Ore, republican
weekly newspaper published at
Ishpeming. Besides fatty branding
Roosevelt as a falsifer, Editor New
EFT, wrote Roosevelt lies and curses
in most disgusting way; he gets
drunk, too, and that not infrequent-
ly, and all his intimates know about
It,"
Action for Civil and Criminal Libel.
It was on this paragraph in the
editorial that Colonel Roosevelt
based the libel suit which went to
trial. The editorial in question was
printed in the issue of October IL,
1912. In addition to today's civil
action, criminal action based on the
same editorial, is pending against
Newett in the justice court here.
Two days after the publication of
the editorial, while Roosevelt was in
Chicago preparing to go to Milwau-
kee, a copy of the Iron Ore was put
in Roosevelt's hands. He immedi-
ately gave instructions to his law
yers to begin a civil suit for libel.

gressive, was placed in charge of the

LOCALS WIN IN
FIRST LEAGUE GAME

In a clean-cut, quickly-played
game at the A. A. C. grounds yester-
day afternoon, which marked the To-
cal opening of the Rogue River Val
ley Baseball league, Grants Pass de-
feated the fast Talent club by a
score of to 2.
The Talent club has been playing
excellent ball against Medford and
Central Point, thus the game was a
severe test for Ropers greatly
changed club, and it met expecta-
tions in every respect. Frye pitched
pretty game, taking things easy all
the time, and was well handled by
Gilmore, who gave evidence of be-
coming a first-class backstop in a
very short time. Gilmore is a ma
tural batter, his vicious double to
right being the cleanest wallop of
the contest.

Good Field Work.


Crawford, Osborn, Dunford and
Schmidt guarded the infeld almost
faultlessly, Dunford making a SEN
sational bare-handed catch of a siz-
cling liner. Riggs, always great
outfelder, is as fast and unerring as
ever, and Johnston, who succeeded
Guy Smith in left, pulled off a won
derful catch right at his shoe tops.
The veteran slugger of the Rogue
valley, S. Faubion, behaved we'll in
right.
Crawford secured three singles
and a walk in four times up.
The runs were made thus:
With one down in the first, for
Talent, Simpson, Vance and r.
Furry singled in succession, the
first two scoring, Furry's hit being a
long single to right, the speedy
Vance beating the relay throw to the
plate. This was the last Talent play
er to reach home. In Grants Pass
half, a single by Crawford, a sacri-
fee by Faubion, an infield single by
Schmidt and wild pitch allowed
the local first baseman to score.
Grants Pass half of the third was
full of action. Crawford. Faubion
and Schmidt singled In succession.
Johnston flew to T. Furry. Dunford
forced Crawford at the plate, R.
Furry to Simpson. Riggs walked,
forcing Faubion home with the tally
needed to tie. Osborn's grounder
was fumbled by T. Furry, and
Schmidt scored.
Gilmore's double, Crawford's s
single and Schmidt's out scored the
Murphy merchant in the fourth for
the last run of the game. After this
both Frye and Smith were masters
of the struggle, and the scoring
ended.
