Judge Leaves Faulty VIII.

It Is strange how many talented
Judges and lawyers have failed to draw
Up their own wills correctly. The
English Judge Lushington. who died
recently, leaving an estate of nearly
100000, overlooked the important
necessity of having his will and a cod
icll to it properly attested. Perhaps
ne intended that his professional col
Nagues should benefit indirectly by
Tie consequent litigation.

ROGUE RIVER APPLES
FOR XMAS MINCE PIES

A leading firm of makers of high
class mincemeat has discovered that
the Rogue River Ben Davis apple
Just fills the bill in the manufacture
Of the filling for the Xmas mince pie
the kind that mother used to
make" and a carload has just been
purchased from the Josephine Coun-
ty Growers Association and ship
ment has been made to San Fran
cisco. The Bens brought 81 per box
fob. Grants Pass, very satisfactory
price for that variety in the face OF
the depression that has ruled in the
apple market during the past week
Another car Of Spitzenbergs has
been disposed of by the association
during the week, TO be shipped out
at once, the fob. price being $3.50.
1t was necessary to repack the ap-
Piles held at the warehouse on the
railroad tracks here In order to NIL
this order, as the Spitzs there had
not kept we'll, and some Of them had
already commenced to soften. This
Is considered remarkable, as the
variety is a long keeper, and in or
binary years the Rogue Spitz is firm
and perfect till February. Many
Of the growers attribute the early
softening Of some of the packed ap-
Piles to the rainfall, which was
heavier than usual during the ripen-
ing season. The apples shipped are
perfect specimens, the association
preferring to go to the expense Of re-
packing to sending out an imperfect
fruit. There are still several car
loads Of Ben Davis apples held In
this district for shipment.

STEFANSSON'S SHIP KARLUK
CARRIED AWAY BY ICE PACK

Ottawa, Ont. Dec. Deputy Min
lister of Naval Affairs Desharats ex-
pressed little anxiety today for the
safety of the 25 men on Explorer
Vilhjalmur Stefansson's ship Karluk
when the vessel dritted away in the
ice pack while Stefansson, with three
OF his men and as many more Es-
kimos were ashore hunting in west
longitude 147 September 20.
The Karluk, Desharats said, ac-
cording to the message he received
from Stefansson, appeared to have
drifted to the westward, though as
it disappeared during a fog, the ex-
plorer could not be positive. Those
on board the ship. the deputy naval
minister added, were we'll supplied
with provisions and undoubtedly
would be comfortable until the Kar-
LUX could fight free from the ice in
the spring and return to civilization.
Stefansson made his way along the
coast to Barrow. whence he sent his
message overland TO Circle, to be
telegraphed TO ottawa. He was plan
ming an expedition to the Mackenzie
river delta at the time.

LADIES' AUXILIARY PLEASE
WITH GOOD PROGRAM

An audience composed of the men,
bers of the Ladies Auxiliary and
their friends filled the auditorium of
the Commercial Club Saturday after
noon. 1t was the regular meeting
for December. The duly appointed
hostesses greeted each person at the
door and presented them with the
printed program for the afternoon.
The president, Mrs. Arthur Conklin,
presided. Mrs. Murray, chairman of
the ways and means committee, re-
ported most excellent work done by
Mrs. Ingels and local talent in the
entertainment recently given at the
opera house, but expressed disap-
pointment at the lack of patronage.
A series of entertainments by out
side talent was suggested.
A library committee reported fav-
orable progress.
Mrs. Sabin's report as a delegate
to a state meeting held in Hood River
was much appreciated. She express
ed herself as much pleased with the
entertainment and hospitality pro-
vided by the citizens of the conven-
tion city, and came home much in
spired and greatly encouraged by
the earnestness Of the delegates and
practical measures advocated. She
declared Grants Pass should have a
larger delegation at such splendid
meetings.
The program was we'll rendered,
each number being presented without
announcement, with the exception of
Rev. l. H. Teel, who complimented
the work of the auxiliary and de-
clared himself highly pleased with
the splendid program as rendered.
He thought it hardly the proper
thing to deliver a prosaic address
after such splendid entertainment,
and as the hour was late he would
do nothing further than indicate
that it was difficult to define or de-
scribe a sane Christmas as what was

BURGLAR ENTERS TWO
SALOONS ON SIXTH ST.

Two saloons, the Geo. Williams
place on South Sixth street, and the
Oregon Wine Company's establish
ment next door, were broken into
some time between the closing hour
Saturday night and the time Of open
ing Monday morning, and bottled
goods and other valuables were
taken. The Williams place was the
heaviest loser, coin collection upon
which considerable value was placed
being among the things stolen. This
collection was on display in the front
window, and the only coins left were
few that fell from the tray when
1t was lifted out. Mr.. Williams says
that the collection represented an
outlay of at Least 5000, and that its
present value was much greater as
some of the rare specimens had in
creased greatly in value since they
had come into his hands. The change
from the till of the cash register was
also taken, as was quantity of bot
tied goods. Entrance to this estab-
lishment was through a rear window.
The Oregon Wine Company saloon
was entered by the cutting out Of
the glass from a rear door, though
nothing is missing from this except
few bottles of liquors.
The authorities are searching for
stranger who had been in the city
for the past few days. This man
had been employed about the Will
llams' place Saturday, and 1t Is be-
lleved that he had left the back win
dow unlatched. The man had roomed
over the saloon and a suit case be-
longing to a fellow roomer had been
opened and razor and other articles
taken. He has not been seen around
since the saloon closed Saturday
night.

A load of gravel was delivered at
Mr.. Halls place of business and Sat
urday morning he dressed in his best
working clothes and was spreading
the gravel, probably with a motion
that would naturally attract attention,
when he was approached by two seedy
looking specimens, who gave him the
hungry sign and said; Brother, we
see you have a job to produce your
breakfast, and as we are in need, the
rules of our order forbid that you
do this alone. We are here to claim
our divvy." Mr.. Hall refused to di-
vide, either work or grub, and the
two threatened him with expulsion
from the order and an immediate
complaint to Governor West
Their loud murmuring as they
went and the discussion on labor
topics with Mr. Hall is what led to
the rumor that our banker had united
