AUTO PIRATES MAKE
HAUL IN SPOKANE

Spokane, April 1.-Two automo-
bile pirates who cruised the residence
sections OF Spokane for four hours
Saturday night and Sunday morning
were still at liberty today. The po-
lice have excellent descriptions of the
highwaymen, and these descriptions
have been sent to officers In surround
ing cities and towns. The harrow
ing tales Of six people who were cap
tives of the pirates" during the wild
cruise were re-told today.
Booty taken by the robbers totaled
only s44. Harry Walker, driver OF
a jitney bus, was the first man cap
tured. The pirates" forced Walker
to drive his machine. They over
hauled Mr.. and Mrs. ]. j. Rouse.
driving their own car. The jitney
bus was then abandoned, Walker was
hustled into the Rouse car and with
three captives in the new machine
the highwaymen, carrying on rapid
fire conversation. started on tour
OF the residence section. A racing
car, carrying b. Fl. Robwall and M.
H. Houseman. was stopped apd these
two men added to the list OF captives.
The last man taken prisoner was
Charles Anderson, reporter, hurry
ing home about 1 a. m. He was
struck on the head with the butt OF
revolver and bundled into the auto
mobile. The reporter had no money
About 3 o'clock the pirate car
was driven to the outskirts OF the
city and the robbers abandoned their
prisoners, making of on foot In an
easterly direction.

the columns of the Courier. and the
Reporter nightmare closes with the
following paragraph:
The facts augur Ill for nayiga'
ton facilities on lower Rogue river
And as though the menace was not
sufficient from this source large
dredging operations are carried on
at various points along the river. put
ting more tailings in the stream, to
be brought dowp by each successive
winter food. One such enterprise
about to be inaugurated we mention
ed in last weeks Reporter. wherein
one tract of $50 acres is to be torn
loose and washed down. The time has
come when some steps should be
taken to protect the industries Of the
lower Rogue river section and the
numerous settlers along the river who
depend upon navigation Of the river
for securing their supplies and mar
keting their products"
II our friends at Gold Beach would
consult men OF science they would no
doubt be informed that some day the
Rogue might go dry. But the date
would be set so far in advance that
1t need cause no apprehension upon
the part of the present population OF
Gold Beach. They would have ample
time to prepare for the worst.
Changes are Of course constantly oc-
curing in the bed Of the Rogue. as
in the beds of all streams. Pros
pectors are still hunting for the old
bed Of the stream, and many rich
placer mine is being worked away up
on the side Of a mountain where the
river at one time deposited its golden
sands.
Water taken to irrigate the acres
of the valley is only borrowed tenn
porarily from the stream. It finds its
way back. But is there not a serious
menace in the fact that the people of
Medford and Of Gold Hill and OF
Rogue River and Grants Pass must
henceforth use water from the Rogue
for drinking purposes? Until Gold
Beach helped to vote Oregon dry
many OF the residents Of these locali-
ties did not draw upon the limpid flow
with which to quench a burning
thirst.

COUNTY AGENTS
NOTES

Because OF tho close similarity Of
appearance OF seed OF johnson grass
and Sudan grass. farmers living In
sections where johnson grass IL u
troublesome weed have been relue-
tant to risk planting Sudan grass
for fear Of introducing johnson grass
onto their farms. Careful study OF
the seeds OF these crops which though
closely related and quite similar In
appearance differ greatly In their
agricultural value has resulted in de-
voloping OF the methods BY which
they can be distinguished through q
careful and thorough examination Of
an ordinary magnifying glass which
enlarges to the extent OF ak or eight
diameter,
The pure seed law is very string
ent and anyone selling seeds that
are not up to the requirements Is
subject to severe penalty. Since
so many people are planting Sudan
grass. would suggest that when
you secure your seed. II you have
any suspicious that II is not pure,
TO bring In a sample and let us try
IL out No doubt. Johnson grass will
be the one thing with which II will
be adulterated and this Is ono OF
the worst pests with which we have
to contend.
Selling dandelion roots at four to
six cents per pound offered pretty
fair premium ON removing the dan
delion pest from the lawns, fields
and pastures.
Since 100000 pounds or more are
imported annually into the United
States, II seems that many young
boy or girl ought to make fairly
good wages by collecting and pre-
pairing dandelion roots for the drug
stores. The root is used medically
in diseases OF the liver and for dys-
pepsia. Report to II. S, Hammond.

Today is society day at the auto show.
| BY the time the doors close tonight II Is a

| F. +. P.'s will have passed the wlckets,
| for It is SO much the mode to attend the
show on society day" that staying away
Is almost like admitting ones ineligl-
bilty.
Not that there were only 400 present.
There were nearly that many machines
parked outside the building which bore
witness to the great throngs inside the
building as we'll as to the station Of their
owners. Many of them were crested and
bore the initials of the Oldest and best
known families of the city. The style
and magnfcence of the cars outside Con-
vention hall, where the show is being
held, were almost on n par with tho
splendor of the cars on exhibition.
Inside the hall things took on the aspect
OF a huge reception
Society leaders stood about shaking
hands and chatting with friends while
tho orchestra UP in the gallery swayed
from side to side in harmony with the
rags" and classics 1t ground out in
frenzy OF sound.
Everywhere were groups of stunningly
dressed women, with their narrow.
trousered escorts. gossiplng and exchang-
ing greetings. Besides these were some
who came to see the cars.
But motor row. was transformed into
u
made at the opera. Each booth was like
box" and folks went from one to the
other to pay their calls"
The most interest today centers about
the very first car as one enters the door
at the right-the Slmplex-Crane-which is
the most expensive car at the show.
Across its white bosom is a broad red
ribbon, just like a ribbon of nobility on
the shirt front OF a "lordshp." The car
costs $500. 1t is the same model that
is owned by the Wideners. Elkns. Diss-
tons and other prominent Philadelphians.
Another car that held all those who
were able to find 1t. for 1t is tucked away
in an out-of-the-wRy corner. is the owen
Magnetic. This display is one OF the
most attractive at the show, for there Is
a white car. one in scarlet and another
in gunmetal with brown cushions and yell
low wire wheels. The combination is
catchy.
The owen is the car that has no gears
to shift, and for this reason the statesmen
here are kept constantly busy explain
ing the small lever attached to the steer
ing gear, which does all the work II Is
also quite a job to silence all the skeptics
and explain the theory by which a thou
