SOTHERN' OREGON W SECEDE
PORTLAND, Ore. ? Disgusted
being handicapped, held back and'Htu*
assed by Willamette valey people In
general and Salem citizens In particu
lar, secession from Oregon and the
creation of a new state is being- ad
vocated in southern Oregon. Declar
ing that the southern part of ' Ore
gon is being neglected and that the
northern part of California Is similarly
treated the suggestion is made that
Southern Oregon and Northern Cali
fornia pool their interests and carve
out a state of their own, and the
name offered is the state of Siskiyou.
Agitation for the secession has ?1
ready made its appearance in print in
the territory affected, and the cam- \
paign will continue unless the people
of Southern Oregon are convinced that
their interests can be bettersubserved
by clinging to Oregon rather than in
establishing a new commonwealth.
The idea of a new state la meeting
with favor In the extreme southern
part of th? Beaver state, and the peo
ple across the line In Northern Cali
fornia are even now discussing the
prospect. Two events o' recent occur
rence have precipitated the demand
for a new state. The first came with
the slaughter of the normal schools
by the legislature. The second sore ^
spot was when a lawyer of Salem
t,
blocked the appropriation of $100,000
for the Crater Lake road.

LONELY SLE
Dr. Turner, Captain Bell, Mlas Sex
ton, Miss Jones and H. H. Bally had
a thrilling experience on one of the
islands In Kasaan bay last week
They had left their party at Hollis
and bucked the wind In a small gas
oline boat until the storm became so
severe they had to land. The wind
increased which made it impossible to
return and kept them marooned for
two days and nights. They broke in
to a prospector's cabin and rustled
food from an Indian which, with the
fish that they caught, furnished them
with sustenance. The inconvenience
of sleeping on the floor with the little
bedding was soon forgotten after they
got back to camp. Considerable alarm
was felt at headquarters and a search
ing party was sent out. ? Ketchikan
