Inclosing cents for postage for the finest commu nity pamphlet ever published. til is During the month of August American sirloin of beef sold ,fov 10VL cents in London and 28 cents in New York." None of tbe rot nbout middlemen, increase in gold pro duction, great rise in wages mid similar insincere twaddle explains this difference m price. The only explanation that holds water is the tariff. Great Britain levies no tariff duties on meat products. in tne .London market the American beet trust must meet competition from Australia, New Zealand and South America. The tariff protects the trusts from such compe tition at home. With tho tariff abolished American meats would soil at home for no more than abroad. Of course when these facts are made known, the shriek goes up that the trust cannot pay decent wages without the privilege of robbing the people. But this shriek is the biggest lie in all the tariff argu ments. The census shows that the 'average wage paid in the packing industry is T70 a year, a trifle over 10 a week. How high a tariff is needed to enable the trust to pay such wages? All told, there, were S9,?28 wage earners em ployed in the year 1909 in the packing industry, less than oue-renm oi one per cent ot tlie population. Tf, once a year, a tax of about GO cents a head were levied on the meat consumers of the United States, that ia. wmiitt raise a sum equal to tne total wages paid bv th beef trust Yet the tariff enables the trust to tax mea onsumers moro than that everv week in the vear.

Ed'Stoneraan of Leland, convicted last Fdbruary of selling liquor, on appeal was convicted and fined $200 and given a jail sentence of twenty days. J W. TJ. McGoon was" tried for pass ing a worthless check for $20. The jury hung in this case, and as the officers from Portland asked the re lease of Magoon for trial for a much larger offense of tho same nature, the case was continued until the re sult of the Portland case Bhould be determined.

"These horses will probably take with no inhabitants along the creek above it, assuring a supply of pure water for domestic purposes. It is also proposed to develop power from the fall, the reservoir site being 2000 feet above the city. It is believed that 20,000 acres of land would como under the project for which water rights could be sold. Grants Pass last spring voted to authorize an issue of $400,000 bonds tor water and light- systems and Grave creek is considered the most uvuilnble source of supply. BOY WHO GAVE LEG TO GIRL WILL GET WELL GARY, Jud., Sept. 30. "The oper ation was a success. Iloth pntients will recover." This was the bulletin issued at a hospital here today where Miss Ethel Smith and William Hugh, a crippled newsboy were the principals in a unique skin-grafting operation. JHss Smith was seriously burned when a spark from a motorcycle ignited her clothing. Physicians an nounced she would die unless some one could ho found who would sacri fice skin to bo used in a grafting operation. Rujjh volunteered. "My leg," ho explained, "is of hut little iifio, If it will save a life, why let it go." Miss Smith accepted Rugh's offer.

Th nmniul reunion of tho South, orn Oregon Pioneer Avwointloii, hqld nt tho court house lu Jiuiksolivlllo Thursday, is generally imiiurtinecd one of tho most successful in tho history of tho orgnuirntioii. At hntli morning hud nftoruooli meetings tho large court room, tnstofitlly deoornt vd for tho ncciitjiou with huhuer, hunting uud flowers, was filled with a throng of pioneers, unlive souh and dmightors, rclntivcs" nnd frieuds'who u4Pittuk to tin honor to the hardy, nion and whmen who suffered and toiled to ninko ' Rogue river valley what it Is today. Tho program throughout was interesting uud e.-w eeptionally well rendered, musical numbers by local singers being os jMjeinlly enjoyable, as was also a rvoitation by Mm I.ula Williams, en titled "Tho Old Doerted House." ' The meeting was oHned by Pres ident C. O. Uooknuui, who in a few- well chosen words ninde the visitors welcome. Invocation, pnuiouueed by Rev. Weston- F. Shields of Med ford, was followed by voeitl initio, a ircitntion nnd a utcinlirllil- uddrtws, read by W. It.

Randy delivered an address in which he drew a comparison between tho char acters of the pioneer of the early fiO's ami the man of today nnd oulo gized tho ploneor and the work thiy accomplished. In conclusion Mr. Handy said: "The pioneers of southern Oregon will live In history, not by things they have left and will leave, but by whpt Hiey really were nnd are. Their vork is nearly ,cotnpletcd, tho bur den is fast being shifted to other workers. What n heritage we are re ceiving. What a foundation you have laid for others to bulla tiMii. "The memory .of your words and deeds will ever he kept fresh and green iu our minds and hearts, urg ing us on to greater and still greater achievements." After "Memory Hells" had been fcung by s")eclal"Cfiuesl and a com mittee appointed to confer on elec tion of officers for the ensuing year, the morning exercises were closed by addresses ably delivered by C. V. Beekman and W. It. Colcmnn. At noon a substantial dinner to which ample justice was done was served tho pioneers nnd native sops and daughters nt I. O. O. F. hall. Too much praise cannot he given the local cabin of native daughters fur the capable manner in which the ar rangements of the day were curried oiit. Every detail passed off with out u hitch. In the afternoon Dr. Harry Lane of Portland, a grandson of General Joseph Lane, delivered an able and interesting address. Dr. Utile's nnmo endears him to southern Ore gon pioneers as a great majority of them had fought redskins with his Srandfnther. Among his listeners 'was Captain John X. Miller, one of General Lane's officers and who, with, many others present Thursday, fought n( the battle of Tnble Rock where General Lane was wounded nhd ihe Indian war exterminated.
