SUBSCnrPTION TtATKS; ...... 15.00 Ono month br malt or carrier.....! ,S0 SAN FRANCISCO THE LOGICAL SITE. Though San Diogo has made a plucky effort to secure the Panama Pacific exposition, it is evident now that un less she withdraws in favor of San Francisco, New Orleans will capture the federal appropriation and the const lose the benefit of the exposition. The Pacific states must unite upon the strongest applicant, which means San lYancisco, or else permit the south to get away with it. The Pacific coast is the only section of the country that can profitably hold a world s fair. Experience has dem onstrated this. The mid-winter fair at San Francisco, the Lewis and Clark exposition at Portland the Seattle-Yukon-Pacific exposition at Seattle were all successes, both from financial and attendance standpoints, while the Chicago, New Orleans, St. Louis and Jamestown expositions were failures. San Francisco is the logical place in California for an exposition, and the Oregon delegation and Oregon influ ences should assist San Francisco capture the government appropriation. San Francisco is 500 miles nearer Oregon than San Diego, and more people from the east will visit Oregon if the exposition is held there than they will if it is held at San Diego. Therefore it is to Oregon's interest that the city by the Golden Gate secure the exposition. WATCH THE WEATHER REPORTS. Move on to Have Government Tako Over Packing Houses and Regu late Prices. The Medford Mail Tribune has made arrangements with Professor P. J. O'Gara, assistant pathologist, depart ment of agriculture, for daily forecasts covering the weather for the night following publication. Professor O'Gara has received the necessary instruments from the weather bureau and will be on the lookout for cold snaps. His warnings will be published at the top of page 1. By & little foresight orchardists need have nothing to fear through a lack of warning. Professor O'Gara has also arranged with the local telephone office to send out the forecast up until midnight, and from now until the end of the frost season will take half hourly observations from 6 p. m. until midnight. NESMITH COUNTY. WINNIPEG, Man., March 23. Publio ownership of tho packing houses of Canada h one of tho plans of tho Kovenuuont market commis sion meeting hero today.

The trial of Jack Johnson, negro heavyweight champion, developed a throat from Judge Mulqucon today to have a grand jury probe into tho disappear ance of Nat Pimlor, the negro John son is accused of having attacked. When Johnson's trial came m on calendar today it was discovered that Piudor was missing. "This court will not bo trifled with," declared Judge Mulqueon. "i intend to have n grand jury investi gation into the cause of tho disap pearance of the prosecuting wituoss and of othor witnesses." Tho court onlorcd Johnson's trial continued and tho defendant's ro loasa on $3000 bail. Johnson is accused by Pinder of having made n deadly assault upon him in tho rosort oT Baron Wilken 8on, West Thirty-fifth street. Pinder alleged that he asked John son to join him and Mrs. Pinder in a social glass nnd that Johnson or dered wine. This was too much for Pindor. who remarked: "I know yon when you wero glad to drink beer out of a bucket." Whereat Johnson arose in mighty wrath and is alleged to have swatted Mr. Pinder. n frail consumptive, To innkn tlin tiniisnivifn lrlnil.- Thcy sell to you at "factory cost," 1,ifl fists, w oer passes nnd People of northern Douglas, county and southern Lane county are making strenuous efforts to secede and form a new county. With this end in view, they have secured signatures to an initiative petition and will appeal to the people of Oregon at the next general election to create Nesmith county, with Cottage Grove as county seat. Good arguments are made in behalf of the proposed county of Nesmith. The boundaries will be in .strict ad herence to the topography and natural watersheds. The segregation will not injure either Douglas or Lane coun ty, but will be beneficial to the territory involved. The area taken from Douglas county will be 468 square miles, of which 209 is in the forest reserve, from which Douglas receives no revenues. The area taken from Lane will be 1472 square miles, leaving nearly 3000 square miles. The Bohemia mining district, now in the two counties, will be in the new division. 'The main cause of Nesmith's discontent is that it is the tail and of both old counties, denied proper representa tion, and ignored in all matters of government. It lias never been allowed a county judge or a county commission er, is not represented in the legislature. It has the privi lege of paying taxes, and that is all. .Nesmith will take 33 per cent of the present area of Xane county, 18 per cent of the population, '22 per cent of the assessed valuation. From Douglas county it will take 9.3 per cent of area, 4.4 per cent of population, 4.7 per cent of valuation. The population of the new county will ap proximate 10,000 people, now practically denied represen tation. It will contain 1940 square miles, and property jwisessed at $5,309,575. ' Counties in Oregon are generally too large. The larg 'er the county, the less the development. Taxation and representation do not go hand in tyand in large counties. JTbe most densely populated and highest developed re gions are the small counties, and the small counties, like tho small farms, are the wealth producers. - Evidently the people of Nesmith are of a progressive, 'wide-awake class. They wish t6 develop "their region, but are denied opportunity. They want local self-government and as a matter of justice as well as ot benefit to the en tire state, should have it. In their ambitious effort for progress they have the sympathy. of the public generally and there is little doubt but that the people of Oregon, be lievers in fair play, will give them the opportunity they crave. .
