Ny Dear Miss Grey: quits

Famous New Yorker
AWed by Crater Lake

DR.. Nicholas Murray Butter, presi-
dent of Columbia university of New
York, famed publlcist and interna-
tional figure, gave the following i'm
pressions of Crater lake in the Port
land Journal:
But Crater lake II shall never
get over 1t. rank 1t with the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado as a unique
and awe-inspiring phenomenon of ma
ture. / realize that its no use to say
anything about either, for the biggest
words are puny things when we come
to talk about such marvels. But IL
you've ever read book in your life,
you get to wondering about that Cra-
ter lake country-how the mountains
we're piled up and how this lake was
finally set in the top of what was the
highest peak
II the man who has the inn there
can get $4,000 or $4,000 to make
some improvement, If the entertain
ment is provided on the same scale
as the Santa Fee does in the Grand
Canyon or the Great Northern does
at Glacier park, then you will see
year by year a stream Of the best
tourists in the world going to Crater
Lake, am surprised at the number
going there now.

New YorkerS Would
Defraud Cowboys

That Buffalo Vernon, champion
bulldogger who has been frequent
visitor to Ashland since the recent
Roundup, had it figured about right
when he decided not to 60 back to
New York to participate in the round
up staged for the people of the effete
east at Sheepshead Bay. is proven
by the following dispatch from New
York:
New York, Aug. 22.-More than a
score Of cowboys, not the moving
picture brand, but the real article,
from New Mexico. Oklahoma, Mon
tana and California, sought the
United States district attorneys Of
flee today in an effort TO obtain about
1900 prize money for riding buck
ing horses and roping fractions steers
at a recent exhibition at Sheepshead
Bay. They asked action against the
management of the show for using
the mails to defraud They said they
had been lured east at their own ex-
pense by the promise of $4,000 in
prizes. of which they had won s2S,-
ia but that less than "a per cent
Of the amount had been paid to them.
An investigation was promised the
vesterners.

Two Bound Over
To Grand Jury

Mrs. Petha Swartzfager and C. L.
Dusenbury of Gold Hill were bound
over to the grand jury Tuesday,
charged with contributing to the de-
linquency of Lizzie Horn, 16 years
old. a sister of Mrs. Swartzfager, on
bonds OF $3.50 and $500, respec-
lively.
Argument was made by R. B. Nc
Cabe, attorney for Dusenbury, in an
attempt to show that Dusenbury, who
drives a jitney at Gold Hill, was not
responsible for the events in the
case. that he had been merely hired
to drive the party to Medford. How
ever. the decision of Justice Taylor
ruled that he had more than busi-
ness interest in the happenings OF
the night of August 4.
Lizzie Horn related how she was
asked by her sister to accompany
Burleson and Dusenbury and Mrs.
Swartzfager to Medford, August g.;
how the girls met the man in the
case at the bridge near Gold Hill;
that the car contained both beer and
whisky. which all those in the party
partook of; how the car was driven
to Ashland, turned about and stopped
before the Florida rooming house in
Medford about o'clock on the morn
ing of August 4. Lizzie claimed that
she objected to entering the house,
but that her sister and Dusenbury
asked her to stay. and that Burleson
refused to take her home or to any
other place. She remained in the
Florida until s o'clock on the morn
ing of August 4.
A number of Gold Hill youths
present were questioned by Prosecu-
tor Kelly concerning their interest
in the case and we're sent out OF the
courtroom during the hearing.
Effort is being made TO locate Carl
Burleson of Cold Hill. who accom-
panied Lizzie Horn on the escapade,
and if found will be prosecuted.
Lizzie Horn was taken in charge
by Juvenile Officer Gay and pending
her disposition is in charge Of Mrs.
matron of the county Jail at
Jacksonyille.-Medford Sun.

Federal Railroad
Regulation

If the railroads of the United
States are to beregulated in interest
of the public, the very nature of the
situation dictates that such regula-
tion shall be exclusively by the fed
eral government.
To continue the present policy OF
coordinate regulation by the federal
government by 4S states, with diyerg-
ing and conflicting interests and ideas
often purely local in character but
general in harmful effect, is to con-
struct uniform improvement and pre-
vent efficient and economic develop
ment of railway and transportation
service as a whole.
A chain is no stronger than its
weakest link, so far as interstate
commerce and national efficiency of
the railroads are concerned, unless
the railroads as a unit are improved,
developed and adjusted to the general
needs of the public along the line
of well conceived general plan,
economic and efficient service can
hardly ba expected.
For example. considering the gen.
eral plan Of efficiency. OF what bene-
fit would it be. other than purely
local, for one railroad to increase
and improve its facilities If the con-
Meeting carrier was not able to re-
ceive and handle the traffic? Or, in
what respect would through service
be improved II all the roads leading
into Chicago increased their facilities
and improved their service unless the
connecting lines out were able to
handle the business? It would sim
ply mean congestion and delay.
For this reason the whole scheme
of transportation regulation and de-
velopment should be uniform and
general and the Interstate Commerce
Commission should be invested with
complete authority and control. the
present state commissions being in
cluded in the plan Of organization
as regional commissioners. Such a
plan contemplates making the whole
system Of transportation and regula-
tion uniform. harmonious and eff.
cient. There is interstate and in
ira state mail service Just as there
is interstate and intrastate freight
service, but the public wisely con-
fides to the federal government ex-
elusive regulation of the mails and
would even entertain a suggestion of
co-ordinated regulation by the states.
Apart from the essential privacy
and merchandising of postage every
reason sustaining exclusive federal
regulation of the postal service may
be urged in support of exclusive fed
eral regulation of all interstate car
riers and commerce.
For, after all. uniformity, economy
and efficiency are the determining
factors and constitute the whole OBJ
ject. purpose and reason for regula-
tion.

Buffalo Takes Two Out of Three
Games-Indians Are
Outplayed.

Buffalo wound up the series with
Newark yesterday afternoon and boost
ed it's chances of repeating its cham
pionship victory of year ago by low
ering the Indians colors to 3.
The victory gave Buffalo two out OF
the three games, and the team moved
on to Providence for a series with the
Grays, which will have much to do in
deciding the pennant race.
Newark was clearly outplayed, and
there were no excuses of fuke victory,
such as was the case Tuesday. Buffalo
outhit the Indians and played without
an error. Newark got away in the lead,
but couldn't hold the advantage.
A free pass to Callahan and success,
sive singles by Witter, Stafford and
Egan Melted the Indians two runs IN
the second inning and gave them lead
which they held to the seventh. A SIM
gle by Jackson and triple by Carl
strom then tied it up.
In the eighth Buffalo proceeded TO
sew up the game. Mcdonald and Gu
singled, after which Onslow doubled
to right and the other two beat 1t for
the plate with the winning TALES.
The score follows:
