Councilman Keney: i "
Oregon twenty-live years arm i uov-i
experienced so stormy a winter as the
one iuBt paBt haB been." I
N. S. Bennett: "I have just de
Hvered 700 Newtown apple trees to J.
W.Perkins, the gentleman who recently
puroha6ed the Will Stewart orchard.
I want to say to you that thlB continued
rain is desperately hard on orouard
men and, incidentally.it -isn't much
good for the farmers."
Willie Warner: "X wlBh you would
6ay to the patrons of Rural Free Deliv
ery Route No. 1 that an occasional oil
ing of the looka on their mail boxes
1 would be a very convenient notion for
tfcem to set into their heads conven
ient for me. With all the rain r have
had this winter the lookB have rusted
and in some caaeB it is almoBt ImpOBsi
ble to get into the boxeB."
W. T. York: ' Someone has told
that I am a oandidate for nomination
for the ofHoe of county treasurer. I
wish yon would Bay to those who may
have heard this report that it ia not
true. I am not a candidate and while,
of course, I cannot but feel kindly
toward any pf my friends who may
have suggested it, BtiU I positively
disolaim any knowledge of the souroe
of the rumor and as well any intention
on my part to become a oandidate."
0. A. Dickinson : "I am authorised
to say that Hon. J. W. Merrltt, of Cen
tral Point, will accept the Republican
nomination for county judge If it is ten
dered him. I suoceeded in getting Mr.
Merritt to authorize this statement only
after considerable persuasion. He bad
declared his intension of retiring from
nr.ll. In. hi,!. t.tlr BeelllS tO be a 0061
demand for his candidacy, and he has
Hnnlrlnd to allow his name to come Be
fore the convention as a oandidate for
county judge. I am very muoh grati

ion that a very large majority in faot
nearly all of the Republicans of the

F. M. Stewart: "Where did I B
those oranges and lemons I .Why, u
brought them bp from my house. o.
I didn't raise them, but I did bring
them up from home and most people
act like they don't Deneve me wnen i
tell them that truth. Mrs. Susie Perry
brought the fruit, stems and ''all, from
Woodland.Cal., when Bhe came up from
there the other dav. I had a barrel of
fun out of them, carrying them around
and showing them to peoole. About
nine out of ten people would try to
show tbelr mental acumen by pronounc
ing them wax. Then It was amuBing
to see their faces when they felt of
them and found that they were the real
thing. Of course they are not very
large, but It must be remembered that
they come from the northern citrus
belt and are not yet fully grown.'
C. 0. Ramsey: "Say Bliton, did
you Bee that letter Geo"rge Stevjns has
from Germany? Speaking of bouquets
for Southern Oregon apples, that letter
was it. It Beems that some of the
apples grown by Stevens & Bradshaw
last season found .consumers In
Germany and this letter was from one
of them. He said all manner of pretty
things about the fruit and olosed by
Baying that he would like to get more
of them, and asked what variety they
were. I superintended the packing of
the apples from this orchard last year
and once In a while I would get in and
pack a box just to Bet the pace for the
girl packers and I recognized, from
the packer's slip number, that this was
nnn ..f. the hoTpa X. nacked . It was a
box of Yellow Newtons aud I want to
say to you that it was a prime article
a r,.n.tti.r ,if I.il'. all .ho apples grown
on tliis orchard wero an excellent
artiole and it 1b little wonder the Ger
mans went wild over them. I think I
know ot one German who would not
Unte in exclude Roaue River valley
apples from the German market. "

also in its reflex influence upon the de

Musio requires precise thought, habitB

concentration of mind. In so far as

VOTE TO RETAIN
THE PLANT.
The eitlzens or Medford evidently
desire to retain ihe city light and water
nlant, at least they voted that way
Tuesday, on the question of granting
the city OQuncil authority to Bell it.'
There was not a great deal of uni
versal interest maniiested as shown by
the vote.'theno being but little more
than one-half of the legal voters at the
polls. Tho day was very stormy, whioh
also contributed to make the vote a
light one. Two hundred and forty
votes were can in all, and of these 103
were against the proposition and 47 for
it. . '
By wards the vote wbb as follows:
First Ward Yea, 15; No, 10. Second
Ward Yes, 11; No, OS. Third Ward
Yea, 21; No, 00.
Death of Mrs. Then. Cameron.
The many friends of Ex-Senator and
Mrs. T. Cameron in this seotion were
very much shocked on Saturday to
learn of the death of Mrs. Cameron, at
Klamath FbIIb, whither she bad gone
to he with her daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Otis Krause, who haB been very ill.
Mra. Cameron suffered from an at
tack of InteBtinal trouble and an opera
tion was necessary to relieve her. She
never rallied from the shock and died
soon after the conolusion of the opera
tion. Tbe same day Mr. Cameron, who had
Oeen telegraphed for, left Medford with
MIsb Viokars, the trained nurse, but on
arriving at LairdB was met with tbe in
telligence of his wife's death. - The re
mains were immediately prepared for
Bhipment and arrived here on Sunday
night's delayed northbonnd ' train.
The body was taken to Jacksonville,
where it was interred on Tuesday un
der the auspices of Adarel Chapter,
0., E.' o.,and Ruth Rebekah, lodge,
both of which orders MrB. Cameron was
a prominent member.
Mrs. Cameron, whose maiden name
waB Bilger, came to southern Oregon
in the latter part of the '70s, with the
family of the late John Bilger, her
uncle. She was born near Burlington,
Iowa, on February 16, 1659, and at the
time of her death was forty-five yearB,
one month and three days of age.
Mrs. Cameron was Bret married to
Frank KrauBe, well know ' as a newB
paper man. in Southern Oregon, in
1879. Mr. Krause died some years
afterward. In 1892 she was married to
Hon. Theo. Cameron, to whom the
loss of his faithful loving helpmeet
comes as a Bevere blow. v
She leaves three children, as the re
sult of her first marriage: Otis Krause,
of Klamath Falls, Mrs. Ella Lang, of
San Francisco, Calif., and MIbs Mar
garet Krause, of Jacksonville. Also a
son, Donald, from the la9t marriage.
At home and abroad, in Bocial and
domeBtio life, Mrs. Cameron was ever
the well-bred, gracious lady, and her
loss will be severely felt in social cir
cles in Jacksonville, as well bb by the
membeJB of her family, and her many
friends.
Suicide by Dynamite.
T. E. Nelson, a Swede, living near
Kerby, Josephine eounty, committed
suioide by blowing himself up with
dynamite last week. He had purchased
a ten-pound box of giant powder the
day before. HIb brother, aged 80
years, lived with him and reported to
the townspeople when Nelson did not
return home. A note was found on the
table in the oabln Btatlng that tbe
writer was unable to work enough any
more to earn a living and did not want
to be a burden upon anyone. The note
also named the place where he intend
edto kill himself. At the spot desoribed
a bole made by the explosion was
found, also a few fragments of flesh
From appearances Nelson bad lighted
the fuse and then sat down upon the
box of dynamite. The explosion was
heard in Kerby, two miles away, but
no attention was paid to it, as- blasts are
of frcauent occurrence. Nelson was 74
years of age.
A Petition for Pardon.
A petition haB been oirculated in
Medford lately, asking Governor Cham
berlain to pardon Ed. Winkle and Joe
Maybam, who are now Berving a term
of Blx months in the county jail, for
Stealing turkeys Irom H. P. Aiidersom
.of Rnxv precinct.
' As an abstract proposition we do not
j believe In promiscuous pardoning of
criminals. This matu r of lioing to the
expense of 'convicting a person of
crime, and then in a few weeks clrcu-
lalloK a petition for hl p-nl'in la not
sound sense. It comes from a kind of
sentimentality, whioh should not enter
Into the enforcement of laws for the
proteotion of tbe public.
An incentive to the oommlsBlon of
I crime is given in the first place by tbe
loose manner in wbioh mostof the laws
are. administered, until it baa oome to
be almost an axiom that only the poor
and friendless orlminal is ever punished.
Even if convicted, and his ohanoee for
acquittal are usually mora than equal,
be is likely to escape without Berving
his full sentence.
In the present oase the evidenoe was
overwhelmingly against the tvo pris
oners aud under all the circumstances
the sentence appeared to be n just one.
There is no ground upon which to base
an appeal for pardon except that of sen
timent. Six months in the county jail
will likely have a salutary effect on
these young men, but', if they are re
leased in less than three the lesson will
he lost. It would be more a mistaken
kindness than anything else to release
them under these circumstances.

Lost In The Mountains.
Last week Gabriel Plymale went out
with twq companions named James and
Johnson, on a prospecting tour in the
vicinity of the Sterling mine. On
Tuesday he was left at the oabln, to
take care of the camp, while the other
two men were out prospecting. On
their return in the evening Plymale
was not to be found. Not a great deal
of attention was at first paid to this
olrcumstance, aB it waa thought he had
gone to some of tho neighboring cabins.
The next morning, however,, becoming
uneasy, JameB anil Johnson commenced
a search for him. Snow had fallen the
night before, obliterating all traces so
that it was impossible to traok him
The search was kept up Saturday and
that night word was sent to Medford.
Several people went out Sunday to join
in the search.
H. W. Jackson, H.'G. NicholBon and
T. E. Kelso loft Wednesday morning to
help in the searoh. Jackson took hiB
famous bloodhounds and expeots to be
able to find the body, if death has over
taken the loBt man.
They returned Wednesday night, not
having been able to find any trace ol
the missing man. The Bearchors are
considerably handicapped by tbe snow
that has fallen during the past few
days. The dogs will be taken out
again Saturday, by which time it is ex'
pected the snow will have melted so
that the searoh can be made success
fully. H. E. Ankeny, who was in town TueB-
day, gave it as hla opinion that the
body of Plymale will be found In Ster
ling creek, and on that auppositlon ho
haB instructed his men to keep a sharp
lookout along the stream. The oreek
Ib not deep, but very swift, and filled
with boulders. A man In Plymale's
condltlon.eltber in trying to cross or by
accidentally falling In, would be swept
down by tbe swift current ffnd be nn
able to rise. He had three men in hiB
employ who know the location of every
oroBpeot hole In the vlolnity, examine
all of these places and the result con
firms him In the above opinion.

FOR THE VALLEY.
Suggestion to Request our Delegation
to Secure a Survey of Rogue. River
Valley by Bureau of Soils.
Through the oourtesy of Welborn
Beeson, The Mail haB been favored
with copies of two of the soli maps is
sued by the Bureau of soilB, of the De
partment of Agriculture. These mnpB
are of the Atbermarlo seotion ot Vir
ginia and the Big Flats section of New
York, and are the two maps whioh
most nearly coincide with-vlho soils of
thia section.. '
Tiie maps show the character of tbe
soilB in eaoh section and tbe explana
tory text gives information ttB to the
orops best adapted for each kind o
soil and tbe methods to be employed In 1
working it. This Information enables
the farmer to go about his work scien
tifically and intelligently, and thus In
orease the productiveness of his farm,
and practically eliminate failure.
Such a map of Rogue river valley
would be of incalculable benefit to the
farmer, orohardist and gardener, on ac
count of the great diversity in the char
acter of tbe soils ; but it will require an
effort or tbe part ot the people to se
oure tblB benefit within any reasonable
time. There were but forty-four1 : of
these maps made last year, and about
the same number are made eaoh yean
so that if we await our turn in this mat
ter it may be many years before the
map will be made. 1
Mr. Beeson's idea is to interest the
boards of trade of Medford, Ashland,
Jacksonville and Urania Pass In the
matter uud prepare a meniorlal' to our
delegation in Congress, .requesting them
to use their influence with the depart
ment o ugriculture to have the ..work
done as soon us possible. , The fconellu-
to be derived will more tliau repay any
effort that is made to bring about the
work, and we believe with Mr, Ueesun
that tbe matter should.be taken in
hand and pushed before the depart
ment. . ,
. If the commercial bodieB of tbe four
towne above named will unite on. the
question and present a Btrong petition
to our senators : and representatives
there is no doubt but that tbe survey
will be made sooner a great deal than
it will come in tbe natural course of
events. '
The Medford Board of Trade is ready
and willing to co-operate with any
movement likely to bring about the do
sired result.

The Oro Pino mine, near Grants Pass,
is to have a oyanide plant.
A lot of gold from the Je'vell-Mooro
mine was brought to Grants Pass last
week,, amounting to $0(10. Several
pieces weighed irom $15 to $25.
A trial of the machinery in the big
dredge of Ghnmpltn & - Co., at the
mouth of FootB Creek, waa made last
week. Everything worked smoothlv,
and aotlve operations will soon be com
menoed. .... ;
The Vickroy mine on Forest oreek,
operated by W. J. Bostwick and Ira
Ooffman, Is having a good run this sea
son. They have piped off a large area
of ground already, and expeot a big
cleanup. '
At the Lone Star mine on Pleasant
oreek at a partial oleanup latelv, nearly
$2000 was taken from one sluice box
The gold is mostly coarse. A big
amount is expected as the result of the
final cleanup.

has a three-loot ledge and Ib opened to
a depth of 175 feet. Mill tests have
given returns ot (80 per ton In free gold
and concentrates.
A halt interest in the Sucker oreek
placers, in Josephine county, has been
recently purobased by F. Slade for a
consideration of $5000. A large equip
mentwlll be put in on the property,
whioh has always been a good producer,
