' PASTOR EVANGELIST FOR PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH THE MAIL TRIBUNE, in common with every other newspaper, receives many requests for sample cop ies and for general informn'tiqn concerning Mcclftml and the. Rogue River valley, as a result of tho Commercial club's advertising. Probably four-fifths of tho inquiries are from men holding clerical and salaried positions or irom lnccnanics or artisans woriungior wages wnu, urea ui hard wintei-s and the inequality of the struggle east, are lured by the romeuce of the golden west. Only a small percentage of these requests for information come from the practical farmer the man most needed. 1'or several generations the drift of the American has been from the farm to the city, with the result that the best American blood, tho initiative, ingenuity and brains, are found in the cities, and more and more the nation has to depend upon the thrifty foreigner for the farm. These foreigners, including the Chinese and Japanese, come from lauds where intensive cultivation is practiced, where even a bucketful of soil is carefully preserved, where every nook and cranny is utilized in fact, where the country is developed. If the same methods practiced in Japan or Switzerland, Italy or other countries, were followed here, the Rogue River valley would be-supporting a population of millions, instead of a few thousands. There is not an acre that can not be made wonderfully productive with labor but the wasteful methods of the slip-shod and spendthrift near agriculturist, who squanders his soil resources like t drunkard, prevail. It is so easy to make a living that the hook-worm gets a firm hold. If the Americans wont farm and but few will then we should spend our energy inseeuring those who will. We do not need clerks and laborers and artisans, but wo. do need farmers. Get them from northern Europe. if pos sible if not, get them from southern Europe. Much has been said against the natives of southern Eu rope as desirable emigrants. Judge Colvig even went to the etxent of denouncing them at Astoria. Yet in California and elsewhere, where they have settled to cultivate the land, they have proved thrifty farmers, useful and good citizens. In a generation or two they amalgamate and lose their nationality. California's foreign population is today supplying Ore gon with vegetables. There is no reason under the sun why we should not be supplying ourselves and selling a surplus to the world. But the Americans won't do it. We must look to the foreigner and it is time we were looking. The Rogue River valley can no longer attract the slip shod American with cheap land, but it offers surpassing fertility, cheap water, delightful climate, and good mar kets and a guarantee that an acre will produce as much as ten in the east, providing only the labor is supplied.

MERLIN RANCHER WHO SLEPT IN HAY NOW DEAD GRANTS PASS, Aug. 21. Paul Rortehnnu, a rancher, who had the ojd John Wise rnnch- thrco and n half miles from Merlin, under lease, wnt found dead yesterday morning in u hay mow on tho place. Ho was last seen alive at 0 o'clock Friday even ing. Dr. I'1. D. Strieker, coroner, stated that jt was a caso of n bad heart. Roriclmnu has of late chosen the hay mow as a jjIoco to sleejj in pref erence to his room, nnd it is sup posed ho passed out during Saturday Mlftht. A eintor lives" at Rpthernm, Idaho, 1 Rorfohnnn'fl property consisted of $110, which was in his pockets, $34 id bank, three horf.es, ono cow and other furin paraphernalia; Hasklns for Health. AFTER five months and five days of unceasing grind, the congress of the United States was able to show but two big legislative measures made into laws the Can adian reciprocity agreement and the bill for publicity of campaign contributions before elections. The reapportion ment bill, fixing the membership of the next house of rep resentatives at 433, was another finished measure the house turned out during the term. Ten democratic bills, one revising the wool schedule, another placing meat and bread on the free list, have been lost in the shuffle. A third revision of the cotton tariff also dies aborning. The wool bill and free list bill the president has vetoed. The democrats made ineffectual attempts to pass them over the. veto. The other is in a haze of technical defeat between the senate and the house. A combination of democratic and insurgent republic ans, led by Senator LaFollctte, in the house, enabled the house democrats to put their tariff through in that body in some semblance of their original shape. But the com bination exploded at the last minute and only the complais ance of the standpat republicans allowed passage of the cotton bill, to which were attached revisions of the iron and steel schedule, the chemical schedule, the cotton ma chinery schedule and amendment providing for free coal from Canada. The president declared that ho will sign no tariff bills until the tariff board reports on them. A bill providing for the direct election of senators by the people will be left in conference between the two houses when congress adjourns. The house passed it and the senate amended it ' A high standard of sanitation is t ho enforced in tho Medford public- schools and steps wore taken toward that wid Saturday when the- school boariThold a special hoshIou to con fer with Muiitrosn K Nownmn. an ex port on sanitation, who is in charge of tho educational department of the West Disinfecting company or New York, one of the largest concerns of its kind in tho world.
