Cintlodiiiii Smith of the Marble Caves, of Oregon, has just discovered a large new chamber far under ground which is a decided addition to thu caves, inasmuch as it has not been marred by vandals in tho form of souvenir hunting tourists. The envt) was found lust week wliilo Mr. Smith was engaged in exploring the farthest rocOhcs of the caves ga'h oring data from which to compile a map. The room is a beautiful one, thu ceiling being clustered with count less stalactites ranging in length from nn inch to throe or four feet, none of them being broken off. Several columns wheie. tho stalctitos and tho stalagmites beneath have joined together are also seen. This new cavern indicates the beau ty of the entire range of underground passages and caverns beforu tourists during the last thirty years marred tho eaves by breaking the stalag mites mid stalactites free and carry ing them away. In places it is evi dent that large sledgehammers have been used in this vandalism. No longer however mav this ho ilnnn with impunity for Undo Sam bus issued a Hlrict eilict that ho wi II hnrshlv deal with those who dare to deface the caverns. Custodian Smith is rigidly enforcing the law. Tho government has just completed over tareo miles or new trail from the upper end of Williams creek to the caves. This makes it comparatively easy to visit tho caves ns the last ten miles can bo covered iu short timo by horses, and tho road to the head of Williams ereek is iu fair con dition for automobiles. Word of the discovery of the new cavern has just been brought from tho caves by Ben C. Sheldon, M. I,. Krickson, L. It. Warner, Jr., nnd Har ry H. Hicks, who visited tho caves Sunday. Thoy all express themselves as being delighted with tho trip and state that the caves are n most inter esting sight and well worth a visit. Thoy regret the fact that moro Med ford people havo not mado tho trip. This Reason to date just 188 ;eoplo have visited tho caves. Of this num ber over liiO wero from Grants Pass and only 11 from Medford. Yet tho caves aro easily accessible from this city.

Three hours wero spent in tho caves nud tho party reach button's hiincluy evening for dinner, arriving homo about 10:30 o'clock. This shows tho trip to bo entirely practical for a Sunday's out ing for a party could leave Medfonl at fi or 0 n. in., visit tho oaves and re turn homo tho samo evening.

J. OGara. Mr. Green will remnin several days and gather all of the inforamtion pos sible while here. In Sweden considernbe attention is paid to the growing of apples and penrw. The country ifl cxpec'ially well adapted in certain sections to the cultivation of Bartletts and as this is the fruit ho wishes to know most about Mr.' Green came to this valley, having learned tlmtt he Rogue River valley is without a peer in the world in tho growing of this fruit. The visitor expresses himself as being delighted with conditions as he findB them in the Rogue River valley. -lie is paying the greatest ntttention to details and is making copious notes on methods of controlling pests and diseases. He believes that he will be abo to carry much valuable knowl edge back with him, gathered in local orchards. While the orchards of the Swedish districts have so far been remarkably free of disease Mr. Green states that he is ever afraid that some x;st will make its appearance and before checked, destroy many of the groves. He hopes by a careful study of scientific methods as prac ticed hero to be able to head off any serious trouble. A remarkable feature in connection with Mir. Greens conferences with Professor O'Gara is the fact that all conversations are carried on in Latin. Mr. Green speaks very little English nnd Professor O'Gur'a knows little Sweedish. So they compromised on Latin. New York Herald Story to Effect That La Follette Was to Retire in Favor of Supreme Court Justice Pronounced a Canard by Friends.
