A MONG the new laws that went into effect last month was one providing for the registry at the county seat of names which owners may give to their farms, or chards and ranches, so that every fanner can have a dis tinctive name for his property and a trademark for his products. There are many advantages that woid be gained if every land owner gave his holdings a name. Owners change frequently. The name would remain. Packages bearing this name would be judged by their quality and the two would become associated together in the public mind, so that it would mean a better market. Advertising pays, and if you produce a meritorious article, your brand will be in demand. Put up your sign board so that the passing world may know and recognize it, so that your farm or orchard may have as much indi viduality in the public mind as your dog and cat. " WHY THEY GO TO CANADA. Hero's a baby that weighs 122 pounds. Docs father have to walk the floor with it nights? Things must be going to the bad in the east. A man at Wheeling, W. Va.t stole a church collection. And probably spent it to ride home on the Btrcet car. Mexican women expect suffrage, wo are told. That's nothing, so do all the rest. As for us, we think the Grants Pass playor was out by a Miles. OUR taxing system is blamed for driving Americans into Cadana. It is one of the causes. "The immigration office at Ottawa informed me offi cially that nearly as many immigrants have left the state of "Washington for Canada during the last year as during the three years preceding," writes Albert Jay Nock in The American Magazine for July. In ' ' "Why Nature 's "Way Is Best," he states: "The figures are as follows: .1907, 3S29: 190S, 7517; 1909, 9366; 1910, 17,734. "The doubling of immigration, at figures of that size, from one year to the next, is certainly interesting. Wash ington and Oregon together have in four years, since 1906, sped 43,979 citizens into the larger liberty of the Dominion of Canada. And in the natureoof things there is no earth y reason for it. ""Washington and Oregon, fairest of prospects, richest ' match game thu 4th and loveliest of empires, holding every natural opportunity for all sorts and conditions of men why should anyone, once having seen them, ever leave them'? Only because they are blighted by monopoly, cursed by a feudalist ic land policy, a most iniquitous tax system, and the spirit of speculation that springs from both."

But bless your soul, the way Is easy lost unless love finds Three good square meals a day. McmphlB Commercial Appeal. But if the chap who finds the way Is worth-n hill of beans, He'll not get lost; he'll hustle round And somehow find the means. Chicago Tribune. That's what I say; don't pin much faith On things that love will find; Dest scramble for the means yourself. For lovo, you know, is blind. SALVATION ARMY QUARREL BEING AIRED IN COURTS PORTLAND, Or., Juno 27. Be cause they did not wish to contribute more money to finance a legal con troversy between the Salvation Army nnd tho American Salvation Army, now before tho United States supreme court, the bone of contention being tho right of tho American Salvation Army to use the name it adopted, Portland members of the American Salvation Army have Beceded.

Police interfer ence, caused the arrest of both men. ONE of the most worthy and deserving charities in this state is thp Boys' and Girls' Aid society of Oregon. It is a home finding institution for human waifs, as well as a corrective one for erring childhood. No work done by any of the rescue organizations is better done or more deserving of support than that of tbe Boys' and Girls' Aid. In a building at Portland erected by popular subscription is accommodation for 80 children, and they come from all sections of the state. Excellent care is provided them, and homes found for nianv. Since its organization a quarter of a century ago, the society has received and cared for nearly four thou sand children, and about five hundred of this number are still under its direct surveillance, being placed out in fam ily homes throughout the state. The children are visited regularly by competent agents to ascertain if they are being properly cared for by their custodians. . The society is supported by the interest of a bequest fund, left by friends of the institution, by an appropria tion of $1000 annually from the state of Oregon and by voluntary subscriptions and membership fees. Those who have the welfare of the dependent children at heart are asked to do their part toward the support of this institution. Any and all donations will be thank fully received. To become a perpetual member a fee of $250 or upwards is required. To become a life member the sum of $100 is asked. An annual membership can be obtained for $5 each year, and it is sincerely trusted that man' here will become sustaining members. LEWIS' FRENZIED FINANCE.

GOLD HILL ITEMS, EDEN PRECINCT ITEMS IN TILE federal district court at St. Louis, many interest ing facts in connection with the operations ofE. G. Lewis of Universitv Citv, founder and father of the Amer ican Woman's league, were brought out. As the league has a chapter in Medford as well as in other southern Ore gon towns, this information is of interest to local members. A tract of land at University City was bought by Mr. Ljewis for $114,000, and later sold to the subsidiary Lewis company, known as the University Heights Realty and Development company, of which Lewis was president, for $537,788, and the same day mortgaged by Lewis to the People's Trust company (another Lewis concern) as trus tee for the $537,788, which he proceeded to raise by selling notes, ot winch the mortgage was security.

Taxes upon the property have never been paid. When they became due, the notes were not paid. Offers were made to exchange them for securities in othr of Lewis' schemes. The University Heights Realty and Development com pany and E. Cr. Lewis, its president, in connection with another trust agreement, issued other notes to the amount; of $500,000. They were not even a fii'st lien, but subject to a prior mortgage for $400,000. It looks as though the trust agreement was a more fraudulent transaction than the deed of trust. These are but two of the many transactions which have brought the Lewis ventures into the bankruptcy court and resulted in the appointment of a receiver for the Univer sity Heights Realty and Development company, and the issuance of an injunction restraining the company and the People's Trust company, as trustee, from disposing of the property. nig now, 1 note lrom u clipping in tho Portland Orcgonian, that the government census of the towns and cities in Oiegon gavo Ashland f0'J0, Jacksonville 78.'), Central Point 7(11, fluid Hill 4'j:i, I'hocnix W0 and Med ford 88-10, making a total of 1(1,070, showing Medford . to have a larger population than all other towns of Jackson county combined.
