Navigate Rogue
TO Gold Beach

The old do or dare spirit of the
Oregon pioneers is not yet extinct, as
is proved by the adventurous trip
down Rogue River from Grants Pass
to the sea made by Captain John Au-
brey and crew of four men in a
gondola-shaped craft, 3S feet long
and 92 feet wide. Shooting rapids,
lodging rocks, threading narrow can
yons and navigating treacherous
whirlpools, the trip was constant
round of excitement. The boat car
ried stamp mill weighing three and
a half tons, which was delivered at
the Blossom Bar mine three miles
below Mule creek. The party left
Grants Pass on May 13 and arrived in
Gold Beach on the 18th. The crew
consisted of j. G. Van Horn, Frank
Stone, Commodore Fleming and G. c.
Pointing; also dog belonging to Van
Horn. The boat is said to be the larg-
est which has ever made the descent
of the Rogue.

visit of the guests and members of
the California Development Board.

Klamath County
Will Come Over

The Ashland Springs Dedication
and especially the roundup features
are arousing all kinds of interest over
in klamath county, as the following
article, which appeared on the front
page of Fridays issue of the klamath
Falls Evening Herald, will bear wit
ness:
If klamath county is not well rep
resented at the big Rogue River
Roundup in Ashland July 8, and 5
it will not be on account of lack of
effort on the part of Dr. j. l.. Helms
and NJ. F. Hanley, who have been
over here from the valley, in the in
terests of the celebration. They have
visited every part of the klamath
country, distributing literature and
talking up the celebration, and they
have assurances that there will be
many automobiles of klamath people
romping across the hills for Ashland
early in July.
The Ashland celebration is given to
observe the dedication OF the mineral
springs project. Incidentally, it is
a mineral water jubilee, Fourth of
July celebration and real old wild
west show rolled into one. Special
rates have been granted from all di-
rections by the railroads, and the
town will be crowded with visitors.
Several carloads of steers and
bronchos belonging to the Pendleton
Roundup have been secured for the
Ashland affair, and there will also be
many Pendleton Indians and cowboys
there. The roping, riding, bulldoging
and other stunts are free to all, and
klamath county vaqueros will of
course take prominent part-and
the prominent prizes.
Arrangements are now being made
to have a klamath county string
against a Pendleton string in
a cowboys relay race G. F. Smelling
and Dan Liskey, who had opposing
strings of horses during the rodeo
here, are considering picking a string
,ut OF both punches and sending them
over with Liskey as trainer and rider.

 A counter action, the nature of >'Hh1ch has not been made public. has been begun by Earle. Justice Platt has taken under advisement Mrs. Earle's petition for alimony of s40O q month and the custody of her two children, Ellis Potter Earle, 2d, and Hester RenWick Earle.

 The Earles were married five years ago, when Mrs Earle, the daughter of Mrs. Clarence Renwick Smith, of Montclair, N. J., was eighteen years old. They went to Atlantic City and Lakewood on their honeymoon, and then settled in Brewster, N. Y, where Earle was manager of the Croton
 Magnetic Iron Mines. Mrs. Earle says her husband often has told her that his father is worth $10, 0,000. When they were married the elder Earle gave them a wedding gift of $15, 1000, and each year at Christmas he has sent them $1O,00O or $15,0OO.

FEARING PROBE, HE
 CUTS HIS THROAT
Former Deputy Revenue Collector
 Was Under Investigation

South NorWalk, April 12-Ira L.. Stringham, a former United States deputy internal revenue collector in New York, and who is said feared that he would be called as a witness in the tobacco fraud investigation, committed suicide yesterday at his home in King street, Westport, by cutting his throat
 Stringham was discharged for al- legged irregularities in his duties last October. He has since been worried over this and his likelihood of being summoned in the tobacco fraud, which is supposed to involve many millions. He leaves a wife.
 MT. Stringham went to the cellar to end his life. Mrs. Stringham found his body there.
 Emilio Yaselli, Assistant United States Attorney, who is conducting the government investigation into the tobacco frauds, said last night that Stringhan, who was employed in the third district, of which Mark Eisner Is collector, was under investigation.
 The charges which have been made against a number of the one hundred deputy internal revenue collectors in New York city allege that they re- ceived graft from cigar and cigarette dealers and manufacturers in return for letting them evade payment of to- hacco taxes. .l-
 The modus operandi charged is that the collectors, for regular week 1y payments, signed the stock books of the tobacco men without checking them up. This allowed them to uso boxes two or three times over thus avoiding the cancelling of additional stamps and evading payment of the tax.
 More than 8 hundred tobacconisls were. arrested a couple of weeks ago on charges of evading the revenue law.

result walking became necessary if

and the supply of poor coal that was

The company, which buys from the

for it and it's patrons, the boilers
