Only a few nights more to see the comet then nothing doing for 75 years, thanak goodness. Insurgents claim Teddy Is the main spring of their causo. Perhaps they are reckoning without their host. Albany's census shows 4300, ac cording to tho Herald, and yet people have left Medford for Albany. A REGENT issue o f tho Moxicnii Herald contains a des- cription of the Crater lakes of Mexico, tiny minia tures of the only real Crater Lake, our own oxcopt that the waters are a brilliant green in place of the deepest of blues. Instead of being six miles across, these Mexi can craters are a few hundred yards, and the walls are less than 100 feet in hoight where our Crater Lake- rim is 2000 feet above the water. Vallc de Santiago, a little town of the state of Guanajuato, boasts four of the most perfect and beautiful of these little crater lakes. The village nestles among eleven craters, all formed, in some past age, by sudden explosions from the interior of the earth, explosions that blew out a great amount of earth, formed low cones, and subsided without flow of lava or other demonstration than the single explosion. They are what are known to science as "explosion cra ters." La Alberca is one of the lowest of the craters, and on one side a portion of the crater wall has fallen away so that the approach is very easy. A short climb, and, as one rises over tiie edge, one ot tlie most ueautitui views in Mexico is spread out. Half a mile across is the low line of crater wall, and down below it is the greenest of lakes, calm as a plate of glass, and perhaps the tiny boat which plies the lake is on the opposite side, close below the walls of basalt, which rim it. These walls, which rise nearly 100 feet above the sur face of the lake, are part of the native rock which was blown off like the cork of a bottle when the crater was formed. It rises sheer and erect above the lake on every side. The columns of basalt give a truly mountainous, almost Alpine, touch to the scene. Climbing down the steep road to the level of the lake the visitor has opportunities to drink in real beauty, which here is more dignified and more like the old world than almost anything in Mexico. The tropics are far distant, and here, in the higher lands, verdure is calm and beauty a thing of gentle touch. The calm restfulness of the crater lake is unlike any thing in the world. One finds lakes and solitary pools in forests or mountain fastnesses, and the calm there is akin to witchery, but they are stirred sometimes by passing breezes, and the trees will wave above in the wind. But in a crater lake there is not a breath that will stir it, and even a stone cast into its bosom creates ripples that seem as though they would be swallowed ere they are bora. Peace is a word without a meaning until one lies silent on the slope of such a crater, with such a lake at his feet. H such is the effect of these miniature lakes, and Cra ter Lake, Oregon, is as much more beautiful, as much more awe-inspiring as it is larger, a scenic wonder that the whole world will talk about and visit till time shall be no 4 f ff f 4 AN APPRECIATION OF SUPERINTENDENT SMITH.

President Louis Hill of the Great Northern celebrated his 40th birth day at Ashland last week. Who'd have thunk It? Ashland has a rose carnival com ing, so has Grants Pass. Both" claim to be the Rose City of southern Ore jgon and both are right. "Medford has no professional boost er at a fancy salary, llko Eugene and 2losoburg. Instead, Bhe has what these towns haven't every citizen a booster. Twenty-two thousand for twelve acres of orchard is going some but tho fruit produced pays Interest on three or four times that amount of xoln. A total eclipse of tho moon, a view of Halloy's comet at its most bril liant stage, and a vivid electric storm were among tho attractions Medford offered last night. Thlrty-flvo Medford sports are pre paring to go to San Francisco to see tho Jeffries-Johnson fight. It don't make any difference what it is, from revivals to nrlzo fights, Med ford's there. The LIvo Wire is tho namo of a now semi-weekly newspaper in Pen dleton. Ot tho making of newspa pers there is no end and that 1b why nine-tenths of them fall, and It 'Will be hard to keep oven a live wire alive. Queor Ideas of electric franchises are being alrod In tho Ashland news papers. One writer thinks rtho plant should be turned over to the city free in 15 years. Why not glvo tho money to the city at once and savo tho trouble and worry? Taft plans to abollBh tho depart ment of the interior and create tho department of publlo. works. No one an 'blame him after the Balllnger Plnchot rumpus. At this season of the year Oregon should join the ma jority of the states of the Union in a systematic campaign against that common disease-breeding pest, the-fly. What to do is set forth by the state board of health as follews: This insect lays its eggs preferably in piles of horse manure, but in the absence of that, in decaying vegetables, garbage cans, empty fish, fruit, and vegetable cans that are such common decorators of back yards and vacant lots. These eggs are long and white and hatch in a few hours. The larvae, white maggots, grow rapidly, cast their skin twice, and attain their full growth in five to ten days. The outer skin then hardens, swells out, turns brown, and within the true pupa is found. This stage lasts four or five days when the fly emerges through a hole in the ante rior end. The total cycle then of a fly is about ten days. The number of eggs laid by a fly is about one hundred, and it is estimated that, a pound of horse manure will furnish a breeding place for twelve hundred flies. The refuse from cow stables is rarely or never used by flies for depositing ovae. House flies cannot bite, as their mouths are only fitted for lapping or procuring food by suction, and not piercing. The stable fly is the biting fly and is only found in houses before a rain. The two, however, are so similar in appear ance that you cannot distinguish between them. Flies are peculiarly susceptible to fungus diseases as well as to parasitic diseases, and dies by the millions before their allotted span of life is normally run, but their prolific breeding keeps heir numbers each summer on the increase. The part they play in communicating diseases cannot be overestimated. Tuberculosis is perhaps the most com mon and most fatal. While most of our typhoid is water bora, still flies play a considerable part. The summer bow el disorders of children are largely due to flies. Not only in cities, towns and villeges should manure heaps be removed or kept in tight containers, but every farm barnyard should be sprayed with lime. Put chlo ride of lime in every cuspidor. Remove every empty can from back yards and cleanse them by throwing on a tire. Clean up all piles of decaying vegetables and fruits. In the cities keep tho garbage cans tightly covered and the outside scrubbed clean. In country privies, sprinkle free ly with chloride of lime or with Paris green mixed with ashes. Let every house be screened. Swat the fly, is good dictum, but far better, clean up and prevent his production. kill or rob any more white men. Thoy would stay on their own ground, which for official purposes wns rec ognized ns the north sido of tho river; nnd thoy would cheerfully obov tho commands of whatever individual wns sent to them ns agent. To this treaty the signature of eleven chiefs wero appended, whoso bands were bound thereby to obey its -stipulations. But tho most troublesome nnd desperate individuals of the native tribes refused to be thus bound; and tho strong parties known ns tho Grave Creek and Soisco mountain bands, refused to meet tho governor or havo aught to do with tho treaty. Something of an organization hnd been given to tho department of In dian affairs of Oregon, by tho crea tion of a suporiutoudont thereof, who hoing tho governor of tho territory, held tho formor position ox-officio. But tho administration of this de partment not proving, for some rea son, sntisfnutory to tho authorities nt Washington, tho two offices wore soparated, nnd Doctor Anson Dart wns nppointod superintendent in 1851, soon after tho Roguo river treaty was fanned. Judge A. A. Skinner, formerly on tho territorial bench, wns chosen ngout for tho In dians of the southern part of tho ter ritory nnd sot about his duties. Tho judge wns n goutlomnti of tho strict est honor nnd probity, but wns siiii gulnrly unsuccessful in his dealings with tho Roguo rivor bands. Within n short timo nftor his accession to office, tho terms of tho Onines treaty being still recognized, a num ber of white immigrants took up do nation claims on tho north sido of Roguo Rivor, within tho region in formally set apart for tho .Indians. Judge Skinner expostulated; but commnnds and nppcnls to tho new comers wero alike unheeded; the settlors remained and tho Indians took umbrngu nt what thoy consid ered n breach of faith on tho part of tho whites.
