Regarding this subject, P. J.

Tlie blight this j-ear has done very little damage, and gen-, marks and tho crowd has finished orally the crop has not suffered. Regarding the Whitman tract, which was planted to apples of different varieties, I may say that the trees were never affected with blight. I have visited this orchard a number of times and there was never any blight in it, at any time. The owners of this tract some time ago decided to cut it up into lots, since it is really more valuable as city property than orchard. It has been the custom all the way from Ashland to Grants Pass, in every town in the valley, to take into the corporations orchard tracts, and sell the trees with the lots. This has been a detriment to the com mercial orchards, since owners of lote rarely ever care for trees in the proper manner. The owners of the Whitman tract were induced to cut the entire block down before selling lots, and, in this way, lessen the troubles of the inspector. If every orchard tract, which has become city property during the past ten years had been treated in tins way, what a help it would have been. From our standpoint, the owners of this tract are to be thanked for getting a future nuisance out of the, cnim) ,n Vs boom days. I A. number oZ uiiucsirnuics nro way. We hope that many of the back lot orchards will go'.infting into the city and are being the same way during the coming year. P. J. O'GAPvA, Assistant-Pathologist. laughing it is understood on very ru liable authority that oblivion will be waiting to scire upon said challenge. Thcro are lots of bustlo and stir around Reno today. Early in tho morning another consignment of lumber for tho arena arrived and was sent out to tho site with all pos sible haste. Tho work on the big structure is being rushed and it will bo ready long beforo tho fight, tho builders confidently nnnounce. Tho problem of taking euro of tho crowd that comes here will bo a se rious one. The hotels are filled now. An information bureau that has been established claims to have several hundred rooms registered for pros pective guests, but even tho accom modations now ready will bo inade quate. A number of visitors expect ing to find just such conditions brought tents with them and they have been set up on vacant lots or. nt the outskirts of Reno, so that the little citv now looks like n mining AUTOISTS VIOLATING STATE LAWS., How peoplo lovo monov; and how they like to abuse other people for loving It! This talk of east and west side is all wrong. There Is no east side, no west side it Is all Medford. For a long time Medford has signed for a flnst-class hotel. Now It Is going to have two of tl'em. "Don't marry too soon," advises a Baltimore minister, addressing tho girl graduates. Not one of them ex pects to, of coirse. Medford ncefiu store buildings, of fice buildings, apartment bouses and dwellings far more tliai two hotels that cannot both pay.

Tho movement mav develop t factionil flj-ht that will ruin tho c'.y'B futuro, and dis rupt tho splondtd harmony that has nabled Medford to malco such rapid progress. United wo stand, divided we fall, and there must bo no division, "VTEDFORD has been lucky m not having had any seri-"--ous automobile accidents. That people have not been run down and collisions occurred, is due more to luck than to anything else, for many motorists drive too fast,- espe cially along streets. The state laws are flagrantly disregarded by a large per centage of auto drivel's. Section 10, of Chapter 136 of the Laws of 1905 previde: "No person, driver, or operator in charge of any auto mobile, motor vehicle, or motorcycle on any public road, highway, park or parkway, street or avenue within the state, shall drive, operate, or move, or permit the same to be driven, operated, or moved at a rate of speed faster than eight miles an hour within the thickly settled busi ness portion of any village or city within the state, nor faster than eight miles an hour in tho country when within one hundred yards of any vehicle drawn by horse or horses, nor outside of such thickly settled or business por tion of any city or village on any public road, highway, park or parkway, street, or avenue at a rate of speed faster than (1) one mile in (2y2) two and one-half minutes, nor over any crossing or crosswalk within the limits of any city or village at a rate faster than one mile in (15) min utes when any person is upon the same." Other sections frequently violated are those requiring motorists to exercise every reasonable precaution to pre vent frightening horses, and to slow down, or stop if sig naled to do so by the driver of the horse, and to assist in controlling the animal. The use of "mufflers" is enjoined within all towns and villages, and the "law of the road" must be obeyed, which is turning to the right in meeting vehicles or persons from an opposite direction and turning to the left in passing those headed in the same direction. closely watched by the police. At tho first sign of misbehavior the of fender will be told to leav town.
