Gus sources in Portland, though no
one seems to be authorized to con-
rim the details. 1t is asserted that
the Hill lines general offices in St.
Paul have been in possession for
more than three years of detail maps
or surveys through the Pitt river
and Mckenzie passes and that the
California plans were incubated even
before the line was pushed south of
the Columbia river.
The Southern Pacific Companv. on
the other hand, has filed mans show
ing the plans of that company con-
templated the building of roads
through these same passes. giving
thereby indications of another rail-
road war over rights TOf way in the
defiles of these gateways.
Another fact thai seems to have a
bearing on the situation is the con-
struction of the ModOc Northern
from Fearnley, New, to Susanville.
Cal, the contract on which was
awarded only about year ago. Now
it is stated that the line will be
opened for traffic June 10, and that
il will then be pushed through to
klamath Falls, to which the survey
has been completed and the right of
way acquired for about two years.
This line when completed becomes
link in the projected Pitt river
line OF the Southern Pacific, forming
the southern part OF the Natron cut
off, giving the route of easiest
grades into California from the
north and would connect with the
present main line at Chico. it is
claimed. Apparently the Southern
Pacific is Fastening completion of
the line from Fearrley az the cutoff
from Klamath Falls to the Central
Pacific, because it forms the part of
the new California line placing it
within striking distance Of the Pitt
River pass

new LITHIA SPRINGS
Report From MedfOrd of Discovery
of New Mineral Springs on
Emigrant Creek.

Medford, Jan. 31.-A second hthia
spring has been discovered about
six miles east from Ashland in the
Emigrant creek district. a test has
been made and the water found to
be fully as strong in lithia as the old
spring that has existed there for the
past fifty years. A southern Cali
fornia company has already taken an
option on the spring, together with
10 acres of land surrounding it, and
at the spring will build large hotel
to accommodate the people they ex-
pect to send there from their resort
in the southern country.
This company ownes and operates
a health resort at their mineral
springs in the south with hotel ca
pacity of 1000 rooms. A great num-
ber of people come to them annually
who find after their arrival that the
altitude is too low in southern Cali
fornia, and it is for this reason that
this company wants to open up an
other place with higher altitude so
as to be able to meet the require
ments OF all corners on the Pacific
coast. Representative of this COM
pany will interview the Minney COM
pany at Oakland to try and interest
them in continuing their line from
Ashland to the spring, which they
have already named the Lynden
Springs. Landscape gardeners will
be employed to beautify the grounds.

" eyes. She liked the aristocratic
sparseness of his hair, the noble
length of his nose, and all the trap
pings of his rank, though these alone
would not account Tor the strange
spell he cast over her.
One day upon visiting her marquis
she found young man with his easel
seated in front of him, evidently bent
upon making copy of him, She re-
scented such dissertation, but she
watched the worker with growing in
terest
Il don't see how you have the cour-
age" she ventured to say to him at
last
He was a good looking young man
with hair as abundant as the marquis
was sparse He smiled at her.
You mean that am too artistically
impudent?" he asked.
mo, not that l shouldn't think you
could endure to see him watch you
and analyze you and sneer at you as
he is always sneering at every one he
Sees"
"Oh, he's harmless answered the
painter, merrily. Then both grew
silent as another pair of remarkable
eyes began to assume shape and ex-
preston on the painters canvas.
She came two or three times week
and in that corner Of the masters
room they made quite gay company,
the marquis on the wall, his double
on the easel and the two ardent ad-
mirers OF these twin noblemen.
1t is very easy to transfer your
admiration Of art to the creator Of
that art. Therefore, by the time the
picture on the easel was finished she
had not only come to believe that
the copy was as fine as the original
but to believe that another Peter
Paul Rubens had appeared upon the
horizon of art.
Now when their friends ask who Is
the subject of the picture that hangs
in a prominent place in their small
living room the young painter always
replies
He's the gentleman who introduced
me to my wife, the Marquis Spinola."

VIOLENT ERUPTION
OF MEXICAN VOLCAN
Volcanic Ashes and Sand Are
Thick in the Air

Guadalajara, Mex, Jan. 23.-The vol
cano of Colima broke into violent
eruption last night. Thousands of
people are fleeing from the villages
and ranches in the vicinity. 1t is be-
lieved that there has been some loss of
life in the remoter settlements.
Hundreds of refugees arrived here
this morning on a train composed OF
box cars which had been picked up
on a siding at a nearby village. The
fleeing people had found it necessary
to shovel away a quantity of volcanic
sand before they were able to move
the cars and for many miles along
the way where the train had to be stop
ped frequently to clear the track Of
debris.
Very little lava was elected from the
crater, which, however, emitted vast
quantities of smoke and sand, while
suffocating gases formed an unusual
feature of the eruption.
A gale was blowing from the north
west, and this probably saved many of
the inhabitants of the surrounding dis
tricts, as it caused the flying sand and
deadly gases to pass over their heads.
The activity of the volcano decreased
during the night, but volcanic dust is
now settling on the house roofs and
in the streets of this city The rair
road station agent at Zapotitlic aban-
bonded his post during the night. He
reported that volcanic sand covered
the tracks in places to a depth of sew
eral feet. The last violent eruption Or
Colima occurred in 1908.
After a lull of several hours Colima
again showed great activity. The flow
of lava was not great, but vast guam
titles of ashes and sand were erupted.
Dispatches from Saltillo, 54 miles
from Colima, say ashes are falling
there.

ART AND ARISTOCRACY
BY CARL CLAY.

1t wasn't remarkable that she cared
so much about nobility, or that she
knew much about art, for in point of
fact she had never seen a nobleman,
and as for art, it had always been
represented to her by a few columns
in the newspaper, containing illusions
to subjects unfamiliar to her. Then
one day she met the marquis. From
that time her devotion to art and the
aristocracy was remarkable.
A girl friend, stenographer like
herself, had asked her to visit the
Art institute with her one Wednesday
noon hour Though she would much
rather have gone to "see about get
ting a hat" she had so great an ad-
miration for the friend, who was very
advanced in her views on many sub
jects, that she followed the friends
lead rather aimlessly through rooms
filled with pictures of the sea, Of ami
mails, cows and horses and lovely wo-
men dressed as she had never seen
women of her world dressed.
And this" said her friend, lis
the old masters room"
The term didn't mean much to her
and she thought the old masters an
odd looking company until suddenly,
away off in a corner, she came face
to face with the marquis.
1t was not painted eyes that looked
at her from above the heavy ruff; they
were real eyes and they held strange
fascination for her. Yet she felt al
most ashamed to stare at him and she
wondered that he did not turn his
head away from her plebeian gaze.
There we're no more old masters for
her in this room after that; she had
neither master and he dominated her
She went often to the Art institute
from that time on and she never failed
to pay her respects to the marquis
1t was a romantic experience merely
to stand before him and look into
those curious and not altogether kind

ANNOUNCEMENTS
For Sheriff.

| hereby announce myself candl-
date for Sheriff of Sumter county to
fill the unexpired term of W. H. Fea-
gin, deceased. If elected, Mr.. Jack
Slappey, of Plains, Ga, will be my
deputy.
Since entering the race for sheriff
many voters have requested us to add
a third man to our ticket, who would
be jailer, without any other duties, on
ly look after the jail and prisoners.
After giving the matter careful con-
sideration, we have decided that Sum-
ter county is now large enough, and
the care of the Jail and prisoners i'm
portant enough for some one to be on
duty +here all the time. Therefore, We
wish to announce to our friends and
voters generally, that if elected, Mr. j..
B. Nicholson will be jailer, and give
his entire time to that important posi-
ton.
We will appreciate heartily the
support of our friends and the voters
generally. Respectfully.

Found the Meat.

The high price Of meat was forcibly
brought to the mind of a Massachu-
sets farmer recently when he went to
town and bought 40 cents worth
of steak. receiving 10 cents in change.
When he got home he couldn't find
the meat. At last he discovered the
dime in his coat pocket. That gave
him the clue and opening his purse
he found where he had put the steak.
