To the editor In our Issue of March tho 11th, jou hae nn editor ial entitled, Smut) Southern Califor nia, which is anything but a credit to the neighbor state on the south of us, when you compare it to the lit erature, their so-caPrd booster clubs nro mailing broadcast, all over the country Now 1 am not a Callfornlan, in fact I have spent the last 27 years n Jackson county, and etpect to spend another 27 years here, the Iord will ing, for Jackson county is good en ough for me. and I am not a ihohs back or a knocker, but bince when Is It a worse crime for Ca'ifornia to tell all of the good points nnd none of her bad ones, than it Is for south ern Oregon to do the same thing? Now the point 1 am trying to get tit Is this. Not only California and southern Oregon are doing this, but nearly every placo on the Pacific coast is doing tho same, an very thing is causing moro dissatis taction, nud doing our country more ..arm than if nothing were done nt all. While the literature sent out is not absolutely untrue, it Is the extra ordinary and not the average, and is misleading, and consequently east erners are moro or less dissappolntcd and a word from them to their east ern friends will have moro effect than all the boosting that we can do. Wo have a good country hero, nud do not have to stretch the truth until it is black in the face, In order to get settlers to locate here. Trusting you will find space in jour valuable columns for this, 1 am, joura, for a greater southern i r' ' ' Vfil. 1. WELCH. Prospect, Ore., March 10, 1912. Hill Smith Loses. To tho editer: Will you pleabe inform me how many justices of the peace there are In Medford? Wo nave a wlso guy hero from Oklahoma who says In an editorial in his Issue of March 7th, this year, that W. 11. Canon Is Justice of the peace for Med ford precinct. In the same article he says that Glenn O. Taylor is justice of tho peaco for Medford precinct, and if Oklahoma has not lied that makes two justices for Medford, and Ashland won't stand for anything Jlko that when she only has one. It Is rank injustice, it is an outrage, it is a scheme of Medford's designing politicians to outclass Ashland, and Ullly Oklahoma will die in the har ness (if ho Is not already dead), In an effort to correct southern Oregon abuses. This information is asked for the purposo of deciding a hot between BUI Smith and I. Dill bet mo twenty-seven cents that Oklahoma was right, because he sas Oklahoma Is a man of brain and powor und lots .f Instinct, Who wins the hot? TOM JONES. Ashlund, March 15. That fi'aiiii) Violation. To tho Editer: ilomor Neal sayB ho never had any idea that George Trask had anything to do with the reporting of his having deer moat, as ho knew that Trask did not know it, and ho wishes thu friends ot both hlnisolf and TniBk to bo relieved of tiuch misinformation. Neal says that he got tho deer Hcrohs the hill from his placo and brought it homo after night, so no one could have been him have Itjn his possession, and that ho had told no ono of having the game, and Trawl; had not known that ho had been out In th6 mountains nfter game. It is surmised by Nual that tho sus picions of -his having gumo wus a curtain neighbor whom he hud been accommodating all winter by hauling Ills provisions up the hill to his placo. Whllu Mr, Neal In u bouse broko tho law, he has thu sympathy of lilb ninny friends all over tho valley, and considering thu hard work he does to mako n living und pay for a place, ho Is not strongly blamed for quietly providing some fiesh moat, and is not tho sort of man that thu law need Incarcerate In order to keop tho gamo from being wasted, Tho following day after Mr. Neal was sentenced a petition was circu lated for tho pardoning of him by Governor West, and over 200 signa (uics jvoro signed to it. subscriber. Tul&tt, tfarch J& THE BLIND TT71IILE North Dakota was doolurini? for La Follftte VV tho "dead man" by a majority of 10,000 ovoi- Tal'i and Roosevelt combined, with Taft a very, very poor third, Jackson county's stand-pat tors wore declaring for Taft and organizing to carry Jackson county for the presi dent. There are none so blind as those who cannot see. The old state machine has been smashed repeatedly, yet hope springs eternal in the politician's breast, t'nder the iuid anee of that persistant seeker after pie, former Governor Geer. Jackson county's stalwarts arc hopelessly trying to piece the machine together for the primary run but its valves are leaking, its spark pings dirty, its magneto short circuited and its carburetor out of whack. The same distinguished statesmen are all for that skilled seller of pants Hen Selling for United States senator and his barrel is furnishing a little lubricant not much, hardly enough to make the wheels go around, but any at all in these evil days is providential for the pol iticians. Ben Selling is one of the Taft state committee. For years he posed as a progressive, lie followed Bourne out of the stand-pat camp. " Now, lured by lust for office, he has surrounded himself by the hangers-on. the chauffeurs and tinker men of the defunct convention and lamented assembly machine whom ho formerly fought. Still pro claiming himself the original progressive, he has skeltered back into the reactionary camp and is beating the tom tom for Taft loudly clamoring against the man whose load ho followed for years, and for the chief exponent of those principals he opposed. It is excellent satire to style Ben Selling the origiual progressive. If he over originated anything more pro gressive than a clothing sale there is no record of it. Jack son county felt his progressiveness when he orated and voted against the Crater Lake highway and helped kill the Ashland normal. But never mind tho fool laws of the fool people, get in line boys join the Jackson County Taft club and vote for Selling and Taft, whose progress, like the crab's, is some times sidowiso. sometimes backwards, but never forwards. VILLAGE PRESS THE village press of Jackson county has become wildly excited. From the beautiful hills of Ashland, rever berating with the music of the Oklahoma wild ass and the tiiitinabulating ki-yi of the yelping coyote to the verdure clad slopes of Gold Ilill where the gentle mephitis spills his fragrance, sanity lias winged away and the phantom fantasies of delirium tremens supplanted reason. "Much learning hath made thee mad," was said to the Apostle Paul, but the columns of the village press are ocu lar proof that no such cause exists for the insanity of the press in question. Dante never conjured up such horribles ior ins liuerno as mr enrougn rue diseased mums 01 incse newly born bosses who, imagining themselves commis sioned by the Most High to govern Jackson county, are posing as its moral and political censors and its spiritual guides. Starting out alleging graft characters, using inuendo to besmirch reputations, but sub mitting no proof of accusations, unearthing no crimes, the village press has conjured out of the night a "Medford ring," a man of straw to attack, and wastes its energies in abusing the Medford press for the crime of being pro gressive, for refusing to accept the dictation of men not long enough in the state to vote, for declining to wear anew the old Ashland collar and refusing to swallow Dunn. All this delirium, all this fol-de-rol, all this sparkling' village effervescence in the cup of folly, to fool the people, to restore to the old Ashland political ring its former pres tige, to reverse the march of progress, and to turn back the clock four years, while Judge Dunn, with his face ever to the setting sun, forces Jackson county to mark time. Utilizing Biproducts (B C. L. Patterson.) Through the efforts of the Mining Men's club foreign capital is likely to become Interested here In the es tablishment of a wood distilling plant which will utilize tho waste timber und mill refuse of this section. Sec rotary Patterson of the publicity de partment Is advised that rcpieseutu tlvos will bo hero in a few days to inquire into the local conditions, and Incidentally ascertain Just what the Medford people are willing to do In tho mutter of assisting In the estab lishment of such u plant here. It Is a woll known fact that old fir tree fctumps contain large quantities of pitch, creosote, turpentine, wood alcohol and other chemical piuducts. The raw material in this neighbor hood Js allowed to go to waste as In clearing new land tho down timber and stumps ure burned on tho ground and nothing is saved. In fact, this method has a tendency to dustroy tho hiimiib in the soil wheiu tho burn Is made, and nothing will grow on the spot until tho fertility of tho soil has been restoied. To make nso of thu waste and manufacture fiom it bulablo urtlcles Is tho object of thu dlbtilllug com pany. Tho process of extracting tho chemicals from thu stumps und waste ruqulros at least eight hours treat ment, depending upon tho amount of pitch In the wood. Some of this wood pushes off in liquid form und makes wood tar; the balance goou off in tho form of gas, which is after ward condensed und collected, so that nothing Is wasted, Tito prjn'cjpulft employed In this meUiod. of woodUJBtlUatioii arojuo 1 ORGANIZE.

For thousands of years char coal has beeu made In Russia, Siberia and Europe, while in Amorlca the business of manufacturing charcoal and wood alcohol has beou success fully carrlod on for at loast 50 years. The chief products of tho Industry are wood alcohol, acetate of lime, charcoal, balsam of fir, creosote, tar, pitch and turpentine. In the process of distillation of wood In enclosed vessels, If we heat the wood on the outside, of course tho air conies In contact with It and' when It becomes Ignited It will burn up. In making charcoal by the ordi nary method most of the wood is cov ered up with sod, etc. After the wood is fired only a paitlal amount of air 1b supplied, therefoio Instead of tho combustion being complete It Is Imperfect, and the charcoal Is left Under such circumstances us charcoal was iiHiiully burned the charcoal only was left; but wood alcohol, as well as a multitude of amyls nud acetates wore poured out in tho air and lost This Industry represents, now, the modern conservation pulley, and everything, so far as possible, Is saved.
