Thus far the movement, which first took form In an actual boycott at Cleve land, han met with most success In the West. The East has been slower to fol low. Influenced perhaps by a widespread feeling among email dealers and In the labor unions, that a universal boycott, though effective as a protest, would ac tually play into the hands of the, pack ers, who, with their control of cold stor age houses and refrigerator lines, coxild carry their product through a prolonged boycott, though a 30-dny cessation of trade would put the small Independents out of business. Packers Make ref ense. Against public clamor, packers reply that high prices for meats are attrib iitHhln to liiu-n. nrlppn of corn, and ad vocate that the poor be educated to eat cheaper cuts. "These cuts are just as g-ood and more wholesome If properly cooked," says Harold Swift, of Swift & Co. "Prices are high, but there is every in dication that they will go higher." Actual consumption of meat Is re ported by retail dealers everywhere to have dropped sharply.

Nearly every town of importance in the state has a commercial club, and as a rule they are composed of active men. If takes money to build roads that , will be of any use during the rainy season, and our state laws are such at present that makes it impossi ble for any county to bond Itself in a sum exceeding $50,000. This law should be changed, giving different localities the right to issue bonds sufficient to construct highways that would be per manent. The Medford Commercial Club is going to take this matter up in earn est, corresponding with the different clubs throughout the state, and it Is felt that publicity can do more good in bringing about a unity of action on the good roads movement than any other influence in the state. GALE STOPS PAULHAN FRENCH AVIATOR DISAPPOINTS SAN FRANCISCANS. Although Drenched to Skin, People Brave Storm to See Flight Which Would Have Been Death. SAN FRANCTSCO, Cal.. Jan. 23. Twenty thousand persons braved a south west gale and a downpour of rain today in the hope of seeing Louis Paulhan, the daring French aviator, ride the storm winds in his biplane. Although drenched to the skin and shivering with cold, the 20,000 stuck it out manfully until Paulhan's manager said there was no possibility of flight. It meant certain death, he said, to at tempt to get the machine into the air, and the crowd filed homeward without having even seen the biplane, which was not taken out of the shed. Paulhan Is scheduled to give a three day flying exhibition at the Tanforan racetrack, 12 miles south of this city. The field was a sea of mud today and swept by a gale that drove rain before It in slanting sheets. The storm con tinues tonight, but it is hoped that it will abate in time to allow the aviator a chance Monday to show his skill. Paulhan and his manager, Edwin Cleary, narrowly escaped Injury yester day when the automobile in which they went to the track was struck by a street car. The machine skidded in the mud hole, and swung so close to the track that a passing ear struck the auto a glancing blow. The occupants were con siderably shaken up but were not In jured.

SKILL AVOIDS CLASHES Majority Not In Fear of Fusion Dy Democrats and Insurgents. Committees Very Active. Railroad Bill Favored. I- WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. Activity, such as seldom has been displayed by committees so" early'ln tho first reg ular session of Congress, is in evidence In both wings of the Capitol. Although there, are practically three parties, "regular" Republicans, "in surgent" Republicans and Democrats, there are signs on every hand that President Taft is daily gaining sup porters, for his legislative programme. The skill shown by the President in avoiding clashes with either Repub lican faction and the knack he has ex hibited in compelling the aid of both in his fight for the redemption of party pledges has noticeably impressed the Xemocratlc minority. In the House there are Indications that threatened fusion of Democrats and insurgent Re publicans on several legislative ques tions is little feared by the majority. "Taft is trying to beat the Democrats out of any prospect of controlling the House," remarked a prominent Dem ocratic leader of the Senate yesterday. The Senate committees, under pres sure from the White House, have laid plans to take up the Administrative measures, while the House has supply bills under consideration. Indications are that by the time the House calen dar has been cleared of budget bills, the Senate will have ready for the at tention of that body a number of most important Taft bills. Senate leaders who have gone to the White House have been told that It is not necessary to wait for action by the public on bills designed to carry out Republican pledges. Those Inclined to stay away from the White House have been sent for, or the warning has been delivered to them by their colleagues. It is regarded probable that the Pres ident's railroad bill will be enacted at the present session, regardless of the fact that bills on the same subject, and somewhat opposed to the Taft bill, have been introduced in the Senate by Cummins and in the House by Mann, of Illinois. There may be some Demo cratic opposition to certain features of the Administration bill. The President's Federal Incorporation bill is expected to have the hardest sledding of any measure in his pro gramme. TRAVELERS ARE WELCOMED Inland Empire Excursion Hospitably Received In California.

He was only 48 years old, but the strain of "The Vinegar Buyer" appeared to be too great for him and it was this, he said, that resulted in his acceding to the craving for liquor. Kendall was a, playwright as well as an author -of several humorous works. At one time Kendall-was the young est member of the New York Press Club, entering newspaper work at the age of 17.
