We have decided to take good wood in payment for subscription to The Mail and ibis payment will entitle subscribers to tickets on our grand premium offer. The wood must be a good artiole such as yon would expeot to sell on the open market and at market prices. , We "will pay for four foot oak wood $3.50; for four foot fir wood 13; for oak tier wood $1.60; for fir tier wood $1.40; for pine tier wood 11.25. In all cases the wood must be tiered when left with us. We would rather have the money, but if you have wood bring it along. ' All The Mail premiums will be on exhibition in front of Hotel Nash in Medford on circus day Satur day, September 9tb, also at the Central Point fair all next week. We want all our subscriners to look them over and decide for them elves whether or not the possession of any of them is worth an effort on their part. Everyone of these articles is guaranteed to us and we want you to be the judgeB. r- Some of the subscribers to an anti-Jewish fund in Paris express sentiments more fit for fiends than for human beings. Thus one woman sends 24 cents "out of her hatred for the Jews and in the hope that Beinach may be skinned alive." Her 2-year-old daughter sends or ta made to send 5 cents, and her husband sends 30 cents, "in the hope that Reinach may be boiled in oil." Another professedly devout woman, of venerable age, Bends her mite with the assurance that she is "paying day and night that the Jews may be exterminated by the plague. When unreasoning bigotry rises to such a pitch, it is a short tep to pnother St. Bartholomew's. It is earnestly hoped that there will be a good attendance at the district fair, which is to be held at Central Point next week and the Indications are that there will be. A district fair is unquestionably of front to any locality and every effort ought to be put forth to make it a success. The people need some thing of the kind to stimulate an interest in producing better grades of stock and cereals the district fair will do this if the people will give it the encouragement it de serves. Medford people, the ma jority of them, endeavored to make the fair a success last year, and it would have been such had Provi dence given us sunshine instead of an almost continuous downpour of yam, nut because of this no good teason is given why we should not use every effort to make the fair a success this year at Central Point. Let us get in and do all we oan to that end, .- Let us prove to the peo ple oi ima end of the country, and of the whole district, that we are generous in matters that tend to the pubho good even though it be to the direct good of a neighboring iown. secy. rasoN Notlp to Saloon nen.

If ntral Point, Whon Seoretary of Agriculture Wilson returned to Washington from his visit to Oregon he was in terviewed by an Oregonian reporter and below is a part of what he said "Oregon is a great country, a mag nificent country, and the other states are equally great. That section immensely wealthy in its natural resources, far more so than even who had read muoh of it, bad ever eupDcsed. I found the people of Oregon enthusiast!) over their state, but there was no man In Oregon as enthnslastio as I was after I had seen a large part of that state. But the people of Oregon are quite cap able of defending and boaetiag on their country, and need no assist ance from me. "To me Oregon was a marvel. Her immense, boundless forests, her endless, fertile valleys, and far- reaohing fields I have never seen surpassed or equalled. And the people of Oregon are the right peo ple in the right place. . Oregon is no place for the sluggard, the lazy man or the sloven, and that class is not found there, either. A more enter prising, thrifty, intelligent and dil igent set of people can be found no where. The Uregon tanners are the cream of our tillers of the soil, and as suoh, are able to get the most from the bountiful resources at their disposal. Thev have the best of everything at their disposal, and reap the best possible results. "My visit to Oregon was to study the country, its resources, the methods of its farmers, and to see ust how the department could ren der them the most beneficial assist ance so that they might obtain the best products from their farms and forests. There is much that we might do that would be of assist ance to a few, but it is the desire of the department to assist all, and promote the general welfare of the farmers throughout the state. As I said before, the resources of Ore gon are the most abundant and of the finest quality, but there is a limit to even the natural resources of Ore7on, and it is to guard against a possible exhaustion that strong efforts should be turned. I found that in one respect the Oregon farmers were adhering to an old and antiquated oustom, one which should be abandoned speedily, for their own interests are at stake, refer to the summer fallowing. It is a mistaken ides that fallowing is beneficial, and where many of the Oregon farmers are now securing but one crop they might be reaping two, and sometimes three. In ad hering to this ancient custom they are standing in their owu light. It is one of my desires to impress up on the farmers the folly of this practice, and show them a number of ways in which they can double their own profits by doubling their crops. 1 Bliall attempt to do this through the agents of the depart ment, and through bulletins which I expect to have prepared and culated throughout the west." Speaking of range lands the sec retary said: "The range problem is another one in Oregon which needs much serious attention. The ranges are rapidly beooming ruined, and all through want of sufficient grass. The reason for it is that the ranges are not properly bandied w nai snouia do done to preserve these ranges is to place them en tirely in the handB of the govern ment and allow the government to rent out portions to grazers. If this is done, those who rent the several portions will naturally be interested in protecting their por tion, knowing that they cannot gain access to other portions, which will be taken up by other persons." Of the forests he said: "I doubt if the forests of Oregon .are sur passed by any of their kind any where in the world. When you go through the many forests and see the apparently endless expanse of trees, you wonder if those foreBts could ever be exhausted. Now, as a matter of fact, those forests are being exhausted, . The people n HOW ACADEMY WOULD BE GOVERNED, ETC. The nronosed academy will bo aov erned by a board of trustees and should nave at least Ultotm uiomnora. two thirds of these trustees would bo Free bvterlaus and annotated by the Pres bytery of Southern Oregon j the other third would be unpointed acoordiug to the byluwaand constitution of the school mid selected from among the represen tative oltiaene (uot Presbyterians) in Southern Oregon. This would safeguard the school from drifting from its origi nal purpose aud yet prevent any narrow or sectarian spirit in it management. uut there would be a great auvantage in this arrangement. The school would probably want some aid iu erecting the buildings, and it certaluly ooultf not meet running expenses for a few years after it is established. It could not ex pect local support to the extent that will be reouired. The Board of Aid fur Colleges and Academies would there fore be oalled upon for aUl; but that board will aid only suoh Institutions as are organised as above outliue. ino question oi tiornmories, too. would need careful consideration be fore the city aud community are wuiled upon to see what aid thoy will extend to the aoadomv If located bore. Some schools have dormitories where students room and where they oan form board ing clubs, thus reducing living expenses to the lowest Doaslble point. Other schools have none and the studeuts from out of town board with such resi dents as may care to keep boarders. Perhaps a combination of the two sys tems would be beit in this region.

Oregon did not like to have me tell them that their forests were being destroyed, or could be exhausted, but that is the faot, nevertheless." Secretary Wilton was very en thusiastic over Oregon. He had expected much of the state, but even his greatest expectations were surpassed, and if one could but bear him exclaim: "Oregon is a great, grand country," he would appreciate the secretary's sentiments.

Inquiries regarding the mannor of transferring pupils from one sohool to another are frequent. A brief summary of thu law affecting this point Is givun in reply. Tho aotuul resldeuce of a pu pul determines tbe dlstrlot in which he is expected to attend. No one can have two aulual residences and move from one to another, iu order to seoure sohool advantages without bulnit subject lo paying tuitlou in one of tho districts. The enumeration of pupils by school clerks, subject to correction where er rors have been made, determines the district where the apportionment for each pupil will go for ouo year, and mere is no wuy oi changing tbe appor iiunineui to auotner uisinot. f uplii moving temporarily into anutbor dls trict to gum cbool privileges cannot demuuu tbe right to attend lucre; and directors have entire control of the ad mission oi outside pupils. A person owning' property and paying heavy tuxes in a dlalriut gains no school priv ileges thereby. Aotuul residence is tbe deciding point. In most country dls trict in Jackson County it is customary to auow pupils loauenu irom oilier dis tricts wltnout paying tuition, when the school is nearer than their home school or held al a Lltlerenl time of the year. if there is room and time for the teacher to care for them. Anyone inovine into a dlsirlut for permanent residence mud be admitted to the school in that district but residence of parenls determines res idence of pupils, and dlreutors deolde as to permanency, in some cases tbe law works a hardship hut it is easy to sue how a different law might be Imperfect. f Klamath County People m m m I want to quoto you prioos on Grooorios.JP I do not expoot you to buy of mo if my prices f nro not as- low, or lower, than you oun got clue where, but I want a ohanuo to talk with you.i 1 4 '. - is M.
