Estes Is Released
After Jail Term

Rankin Estes, the former Front
street pool, billiard and card room
proprietor, who was sentenced to six
months in jail and fined $500 for
bootlegging, is now free man after
having served only two months of his
sentence, says the Medford Mail Trib-
une.
He paid his fine of $500 to Justice
of the Peace Taylor Thursday after
noon, despite the fact that he had
asserted ever since his arrest that he
would not pay it, and would work 1t
out in jail, and asked that his sem
tence be suspended.
Shortly after his commitment to the
county Jail Estes sold out his place
Of business 1t is reported that he
will not remain in Medford, but will
make his residence elsewhere.
Estes was arrested by County
Liquor Investigator Porter and as
sistants while returning from trip
to Hornbrook in his auto late one
night, and in the auto was found
many quarts Of whiskey. Later Sher-
iff Jennings raided his home in Med
ford, where 35 more quarts Of whis-
key were found. In the car and at
his home in all about 80 quarts of
whiskey were confiscated by the au-
thorities. Estes, according to general
report about town. had been for
months selling whiskey to customers
in his place of business.
At the same time Estes was arrest
ed up in tho Siskiyous, G. G. Smith
Of Portland, who was travelling in an
other car, and who also had a lot of
whiskey in his car, was placed under
arrest and next day was also SEN
fenced to six months in jail and given
a fine of $500. He still is in Jail and
so far as can be learned is making no
effort to raise his fine.
w. o. WINNER of Albany, the
bootlegger who has been over two
months in the county Jail serving his
sentence of six months, and who was
also fined $500 by Justice of the
Peace Taylor, is making strenuous
efforts through his relatives and
friends to raise the amount of his
fine. He doubtless will then ask for
a suspension of the rest of his SEN
tence, encouraged, probably, by the
good fortune of Rankin Estes.
WINNER is the man who, when
placed under arrest with woman
companion in his car, up in the Siski-
yous. pointed. gun at Recorder
Winner of Ashland, who was guard
ing him, and made Winner walk away
and then speeded away in his car. He
was recaptured several days later.

u. P. All0tmentS
Made By States

The SIS, ,000,0 900 subscription by the
Union Pacific System for the Liberty
loan bonds has been sub-divided and
allotted to the credit Of the various
states through which the Union Pa
cific runs. The credits to the vari-
GUS states have been made as nearly
as possible on a basis of mileage. The
allotment for Oregon is 100000.
Thirteen states figure in this allot-
ment and the total for them makes
100000. An allotment of 81, ,O00,-
900 was made for the city Of New
York, where nearly 80 per cent OF
the entire loan of $S,000,000s00O
must be raised.
According to R. S. Lovett chair
man of the board of directors Of the
Union Pacific system, success has
come to the Union Pacific through
recognition of its duty to serve. That
duty is threefold. 1t has a duty to
the nation as whole; 1t has a duty
to the communities through which II
runs, and it has duty to those who
work for it. The interest and well
fare of all these is the interest and
welfare of the Union Pacific system

Fiourtnu CoIors of Metals.

A method by which numerical values for the colors of metals has been oD- tained and described recently in a for eign contemporary. The metal sample is polished with emery, and is then photographed through a blue grass screen. The time of exposure, time of development of the plate, temperature of the developer and all other condi- tions must be reproduced exactly in order to obtain comparable results. The density of the resulting negative is measured in Sanger Shepherd densometer, and >the result calculated to scale in which the color value for silver is 0 and that of copper is 50. The results obtained show that an increase of coloration in the metal does give higher "color figure" but the method can detect no difference between pure and Standard" silver silver 92.5 per cent. copper 7.5 per cent and is only just sufficiently sensitive :o distinguish between German silvers having respectively 15 and [ per cent of nickel.

Their Life In Their Works.

If you look around the world for the greatest writers, you will see that they were people equal to doing many things besides putting little black scratches on paper; they were the people most alive in their time, and that is one rea- son why they are most alive nov, Yer non Randall recently said in paper read before the Lcndon Society Council School of Arts and Crafts, according to the London Saturday Review. They were so full of life that they had to ex- press it for others.

Much Fresh Air Is Needed,

Trouble brings on heart conditions and lung difficulties, it is said, because there is then a lack of fresh air taken into the lungs and the breathing is never deep enough. Therefore, to make 1t a habit to breathe deeply, whether one feels like it or not, is one of the best remedies for the difficulty Tn hand, whatever it may be. Again. not only must past blessings be inven- toried, but hope must be held out, which will give one goal to work for. No one man or woman can live with out this aim in life. The joys or 1avors in hand must be remembered. to be sure, but there must also be something ahead in view or there is a resigned state of mind which is un. healthy.

Proper illustration.

It is mistake, ayers the Illuminat- ing Engineer Society, to use a bright light against dark background, and while an artistic fixture is well enough as decoration, yet lamps which in themselves are good and suitable will not be satisfactory from a hygienic standpoint unless the fixtures are ip the right position. In planning the il. Illumination of room it is only con- mon sense to determine just what yon are going to use that room for, ana then to arrange the lighting. By do- ing this it should be possible for pec- pie of middle age to add years of ex- cellent eyesight which otherwise would soon diminish. Where children of various ages are in a family the matter of artificial light is of great i'm portance. The general health of a growing boy or girl may be seriously affected by careless lighting, especial ly in rooms where they read or study their lessons.

Indications Presage That Reply to Wilson Will
 Settle Question.
GERMAN EMPEROR
 SAYS WAR GOES ON
lo Address to Army and Navy, Kaiser Declares That Rejection of Peace Overtures Means the "War Will
 Be Continued"

l Washington, Jan. 6.-Indcations in- ] creased in allied diplomatic circles today that the allies reply to Presi- dent Wilson's peace note will follow in ';he main the reply of the entente to the central powers, and will have some additional features, calculated to make more clear whether a con- t;nuance of negotiation is desired by the allies.
 If the allied governments are deter mined to press the war to a military conclusion, it is expected they will leave no doubt that further exchanges at this time will not be welcome If not, the reply is expected to leave the door open for additional correspond cnce.
 The meeting of the allies premiels at Rome today is regarded here as of great import, because the entente powers are expected to take the op- portunity to discuss their fundament- al attitude toward peace and partcu- larly Americas part in securing peace.

It is asserted tha: while bacilli are found in nOduleS on his face, his blood shows no trace of them or of the disease, and the authorities of Wilkesbarre, which have been keeping him and his family in quarantine at an expense of $3,0OO a year, have put an end to the outlay by removing the quarantine. .-t may be supposed that the man, Joseph Norman, will not be altogether popular at social gatherings for some time to come, but it is si%niti- cant that his condition has so far i'm proved that he is permitted to be at Courant.

Water Hole Is Dry by Day.

A curious form of water-hole is found in the deserts of western Aus tralia, dry by day but yielding an abundant supply of water by night. The flow of water is preceded by weird missing and sounds of rushing air. On examining one it was found that the water supply occurred in long, narrow trench, at the bottom of which was a thin plate of gneiss Ga species of rock arranged in layers), separated by cavity from the main rock mass beneath. Apparently the heat of the day causes this plate to expand in the form of a depression, in which the water retreats. When 1t cools and contracts at night 1t forces first air and then water back into the trench.
