HOUSEHOLD MAKES
TRIP IN HEARSE

That there are many men OF
many minds, and ways of travel
ing, many kinds" was visibly man.
ifested on the treets at noon yes
terday, when a tourist party stop
ped for gas.
They were tarevling in a hand
some gray hearse, and two cum
ming little dogs peeped over the
shoulder of the driver, whose
young wife stated they had ship
ped their furniture to Los Angeles
and that her husband was the
third generation to be in the un-
dertaking business. 1t seemed the
sensible thing to travel in the
hearse, since it would be needed
in their business. The bedding
and cooking outfit was packed in
the hearse. The hour being early
and the couple in hurry to get
to their new home they did not
make camp in the park. but after
plunge in the sulphur pool hit
the highway south.

Bunk and Junk

The Pacific and Eastern railroad
is to be sold at public auction at
its depot in Medford at 2 p. m,
August q. Bargain hunters take
notice. Whoever it is that is run
ming the auction ought to get Doc
Caldwell to go down and start the
bidding. At the last auction sale
Mayor Lamkin pulled off in Ash
land, the same being of lot OF
dentists tools, the genial doc had
'em all stirred up, the climax be-
ing reached when in the excite
ment of bidding against Doc, Il
farmer paid 1886 for a wicked
looking pair Of forceps. Presum-
ably he is using them to pull
stumps in land clearing opera
tions, Doc accommodatingly sus
piled the technical names for each
article that was put up, some run
hing into dozens of syllables. His
Honor the Mayor put up one bottle
OF stuff and asked Doc what it
was. Doc spewed out a name that
sounded like some kind of a fancy
mixed drink and the bidding ran
high until somebody smelled of
the bottle and found it was castor
oil

Butler To
Go To Pen

William Butler, convicted sew
eral weeks ago OF the killing of
Macdonald Stewart, is to be com
mitted to the state penitentiary,
efforts for securing a further re-
prieye having failed. Sheriff Ter
riii received Il telegram from Gov
cri or Olcott yesterday stating that
a reprieve under which Butler has
had his freedom for the past thir-
ty days, would not be extended
and that he should be committed
to the state penitentiary. The for
mer reprieve was granted by the
governor after Butler had been
taken to Salem, because of the
possibility of the development of
further important evidence in the
case.
A petition for pardon was
signed by many Southern Oregon
citizens and sent to the governor
but will not be granted.
Butler is sentenced to serve
from one to fifteen years.

Little Local
Comment on
Wage Increase

Little comment is heard in the
local railroad yards on the wage
increase granted to railroad work
ers and which affected practically
every branch of employees. The
general attitude seems to be to
sit tight and await further deyel-
opments.
Local railroad employees, on the
whole, seem less likely to protest
the amount of the wage increase
granted them, which averages
about half of what was asked,
than they are the contended fact
that two or three OF the classes OF
woIkmen, who have been notori-
ously underpaid, will not receive
enough under the new scale.
"The switchmen, bridgeworkers
and one or two other classes OF
Southern Pacific employees, never
have received fair compensation
in proportion to that received by
sCme of the other classes of work
men," said one well known loco
motive engineer who makes his
home here, "and under the sched-
ule of raises granted do not re-
celve nearly what they should"
He called attention to the nature
of the work in which these men
engage and the fact that their jobs
require effort, skill and training
in like measure to that of higher
raid employees.

car into ear belonging to James
iokum on second street last Fri
day, smashing a fender and doing
other damage. The Yokum car
was parked at the side OF the
street. Mrs, Thompson promised
to come back in about 40 minutes
and pay for the damage after Mr.
Yokum had taken the car to a gar
ase and ascertained the amount
which would cover the repairs.
AS the story books would put it,
many hours passed and our he
horine did not return" Mr.. Yo-
KUN carried his tale OF woe to
the chief OF police ard a telephone
message to the Grants police held
Mr., and Mrs. Thompson there. Mrs.
Thompson at first denied that she
had ran into the Ashland car but
finally owned up to the charge.
Mr.. Thompson assured Chief
by telephone that he
would drive back to Ashland but
under the circumstances the Ash
lard chief was loathe to have the
rarty come up alone. Grants Pass
people who knew the Thompsons
offered to stand good for their
appearances here and they made
good theirs woiJho drove up anu
! aid for the damage.
