XVIII. MEDF03D. JACKSON COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, MARCH 16. 1906 NO. II Tlley end THE MAIL, the but psaer It JtWt. When Sunday morning the people of Rogue river valley saw snow falling, after a week or more of brigbt aun ihlue, they wondered what bad hap pened to the weather clerk, and when . they found the ground covered with snow Monday morning to a depth of several inches tbey rubbed their eyes and oonoluded that the North Dakota system had been oonneoted with ours. But we are not alone in this freak storm-for a treat it la. tiom Oall t fornia to tne British line oome re ports of exceptionally 'seriire weather, wbiob seems to stow that after all we have the beat of it. There have been no high winds nor freezing weather here as yet, while the following para graphs give news of different condi tions elsewhere. WALLA WALLA, 'Wash,, March 1L A freezing north wind has pre- vailed in Walla Walla -for tne past twenty-four hours. While it Is yet too soon to 'predict the damage that baa been done to the "fruit, it was an nounced this evening that the apiicot crop will be seriously curtailed. The sap has started in nearly all of the fruit trees, but in those other than the apricot it is not 'believed to be euffiolent to permit damage from the oold weather. Reports received 'but evening from the Snake river oountry above Ei paria are to the effect that the peaoh and apricot trees were in full bloom, and probably greatly damaged by the oold wave. PENDLETQK.Or , March 11. Snow has been flying throughout Umatilla county ainceilate Saturday night, and tonight a severe wind storm is raging, accompanied by fine driving Bnow, Tne ground is freezing and every In dication points to a severe oold spell. Trains Tunning into Portland are being delayed, the line from the eaBt being partially blocked by snow in the Blue mountains, while the O. K. & N. tiadk between Umatilla and The Dalles, Is blocked' VJltb Band which fills the cuts faster than " the large gang of workmen can shovel it out. - The train from Portland, whiob should have reached Pendleton tbie morning at 6 o'olook, aid not pass through until 10:40, and it was followed olosely by the one due at 5 in the evening. ALBANY, Or., Maroh U. Albany is today experiencing the worst storm of the aeison. Beginning with a snow fall last evening, tbe snow gradually increased in furry until today one must be in shelter to he comfortable. A oold wind is blowing from the a :rt'-jst, bringing with it the ohill of the north, and intermlttenry snow and sleet falls, adding to the die- agr.eableness of the day. This is the worst -storm of the year, and the change from a balmy spring day to a raw winter temperature took plaoe in a single night. SALEM, Or., Maroh 11. Tbe tern perature has been around the freezing point all day today and tonight is four degrees below freezing. No snow has fallen, with the exoaptlon of a ligut flurry yesterday afternoon whiob melted as fast as it fell. ' EUGENE, Or., Maroh 11 The heaviest snow storm of the winter vis ited this vicinity last night and this morning. At Isast throe inoheB fell remaining on all day. a very unusual ocourrenoe. Note in the above that a tempera ture of four degrees below freezing 1b oonBidered unusual, wbioh shows what the people of Oregon are acoustomed to. Two flood Strikes. From Gold Hill News: Messrs. Smith Cross Co. are open lng a very fine prospect on the left - fork of foots oreek. A recent mill tust of several tons of this ore taken from a shaft some twenty-five or thir ty feet in depth brought them 880 per ton on tbe plates. These results were sc encouraging that tbey ran a cross out some eighty feet in length, out tibg the vein sixty feet deep. From this point they made an upraise con necting with the shaft and have en orjuntered the same quality of ore found in the "shaft. Tbe owners of this property will erect some kind of a mill tbis season, having sufficient ore in sight now to justify them in this expenditure. It is currently reported an the streets that J. J. Houok, who is wont ing the Ross Lode on BlaokweH hill, has opened out a fine body of ore and is now drifting from the bottom ot the shaft on a four to five foot ore streak, which will run from 20 to 60 per ton. This property has produced very high grade ore in the past and there Is no reason to doubt tne statements made by tbe recent strike. This strike illustrates what can be done on many an abandoned prospect now lying idle in this vloinltv.' Repair Shop. I have opened a gun, bicycle and general repair shop in the building occupied by D. T. Lawton, on North B street. All work guaranteed first class and 0 barges reasonable. MOKT LAWTON. IQNAL As soon as the neuesBary formalities are completed, whiob, ill be soon, Medford will have two national banks. Application hes been made by the Medford Bank to the comptroller of ourrenoy for a charter to oonduot a national bank to be known as the Medford "National Bank." Tbe Med ford Bank was Brat established as a private bank, and has hid a success ful oareer in that oapaoity. Now Its officers and stockholders, believing It can best conserve their interests and those of its oustnmers as a national bank,aave taken steps to seouraa char ter. ' ' - Among tbe future plans of tbe bank is the erection of a fine bank wild ing on the property owned by the 'Cor poration at the oorner of 7cnd 0 streets, wbiob it is intended to make one of tbe most convep lent and com plete buildlngB for that purpose out side of Portland. , The officers of the Medford National will be the same as those of -the Med ford Bank, whioh is merged in it, and are as follows: H. E. .Ankeny, president; J. E. Enyart, vice-president ; Geo. L. DbvIs, cashier ; W. B. Jaokson, assistant cashier. The In corporators re: H. E. Ankeny, C. V. Ueekman W. H. Hradshaw, Horace Pelton and J. E. Enyart. Nearly a Conflagration. Monday morning tbe sohool house had a narrow escape from destruction by fire, wbioh onught from the hot air pipe leading from "the furnace in tbe basement to tbe upper floors, and it was the presence of mind cf the jani tor and a seventh grade boy, Ohas. Hoover, that caused the extinguish ment of the flajaes before a great deal of damage bad een done. Where the pipe passes through the ceiling of the basement and the floor of tbe room above it ootnes in oontaot with the boards and with the studding of the partition wallB, between whioh it passes. Tbe pipe enters the oeillng at an angle and, tbe plastering hav ing been knocked off there, dust and shavings had settled in the angle and it was from this that the fire started. There had been no more fire than usual that day, and, indeed, Prof. Signs bad Just esked Janitor Ottinger if he could not give the bouse a: me more heat. Tbe pupils of the- seventh grade were the first to notice the fire on account of the volumes of smoke oom ing into their room, but for awhile it was tbought to be simply one of the vagaries of the furnace. Finally the smoke became -so thiok that young Hoover oonoluded something was wrong and going into tbe hall found smoke there also. He Immediately sounded the fire alarm and meeting tbe janitor just then the two located the fire and by tearing off a few boards and tbe application of several buokets of water 'extinguished the flames. In the meantime tbe teaoh ers and pupils in the other rooms, thinking that the alarm was merely a signal for a fire drill, wbioh they had Been in" the habit of having, quietly prepared to leave tbe building in or der. Frank Ray, tbe drummer boy, took his station, in the hall, and held it in spite of the smoke until ail were out. Tne building was emptied in an inoredibly short time, and even if tbe conflagration had been a serious one, there would have been no danger of loss of life, as the children were under perfeot oontrol. This incident shows the need of a better and safer beating system in the school house, as the fire waa caused through no negleot on the part of any one, simply from the faulty oonstmc tion of the heating plant. That a pipe carrying heat to so large .a building should be allowed to oome in oontaot with wooden floors, oeiling and stud ding is the helghth of folly, and the condition should be immediately rem edied. ' ' Blank "A" to Be Used. SALEM, Or., Maroh 12. Replying to a oommnniotion from the olerk of Marion county, asking whether blank A" should be lnolosed in ballot boxes and forwarded by the respective oounty oierks to judges and clerks of the primary eleotion to enable an eleo tor who has failed to register to swear in bis vote at the polls at the direot primary eleotion, tbe attorney-general holds that the solution of the ques tion depends upon whether. th?eleo tor who falls to register has a right to vote at the said primary eleotion. Construing the law aa a whole it seems to be intended that blank "A" should be used in tbe direot primary eleotion for the same purpose It is used In tbe general election law. Ha says: "I am of the opinion that the in tention was that an elector could vote at the direot primary the same aa be votes at general elections, except be must vote with tbe particular party with wlrioh be affiliates. Therefore, blank 'A' should be seat out with the box and poll books, " LEGALIZES KILLING OF DES MOINES, la , March 10 -Legalized oompulBory murder for the pur pose of endi g the miasry of those in great physical pain from diseases or injuries whiob must prove fatal in tbe end aid toprev nt the rearing of chil dren who are hideously deformed or nopeleBsly ldotic, Is proposed n a bill wnioh was introduced in the Iowa as sembly today by Representative F. N. Buckingham. Tbe bill is fathered by Dr. W. H. Gregory, representative from Adams oounty, who was detained at home by tbe illness of a child ana requested Buckingham to introduce the measure. ; "A bill for an act requiring pby sioians to take human lite," is tbe title of the proposed measure, as read with staitling effect this afternoon. It brought every member up with a start. There was an instantaneous turning cf heads In the direction of Buckingham's seat. Tbe representa tive's aDDearanoe bore no aoaoesflon that Bis bill was a joke. Members gathered about bim woes the -session adjourned and were soon oonvinoed that he was in dead earnest. According to Dr Gregory 'a bill any person over ten yeare of 'age, if of sound mind, must take tbe initiative in requesting that bis life be taken by artificial menus. . Toe ghj eian to whom he expresses Buob desire .-shall then summon two other T-putable pbyBioiana and the oounty ooroner. The four shsll bold a consultation to determine if it is possible to save tbe patient's life, how long life may be prolonged and to what extent bis suffering may be alleviated, It tbey agree death is inevitable 'and that great mental and physical pain muBt characterize the remainder of the patient's life, it ahai' be their duty to appraise the nearest klu or guardian. if the latter agrees .to their propo sal, tbe proposed law -requires, the three physicians and 'the ooroner to then proceed to administer an aneB- tbetio until death ensues, then to make a verified report j.of'tinir aot to the secretary of the tate board ot health. Tbe bill provides a 'heavy fine for any physician who shirks hia duty under this law and also 'prescribes the usual penalty for first degree murder, should he abuBe the 'law. Similar procedure is .prescribed for killing idiots, infants and insane, save that the next of :kin instead of the patient himself must take th in itiative. It is believed by Dr. Gregory that tbat suoh a law would 'tend to greatly reduce the number of suioides and deprive Or. Osier of much of the ar gument now advanced in favor of the Osier theory. "My measure is a humane one," said he. "It may be that it is too revolutionary la effect -to pass thiB legislature, but tbe tune will surely cone, and that, too, within a few years when some such 'law will be on our statute books. It is ta step we must surely take some time. "What Dr. Gregory proposes for tbe relief of human beings lis based on common sense. It la no im ire than you are now practicing -in tbe oxer olse of humanity to dumb animals. When your favorite horse breaks a leg or loses his teeth, you end his misery with a well-directed shot. Ton don't wish to see him suffer the remainder of bis days and enjoy none of tbe pleasure of life. "A friend who suggested this bill told of a relative who nad been -para lyzed for three years, dying a linger ing deatn which was as certain as It was slow. HO first beoame absolutely paralzyed, unable to move hand or foot. Then he loBt the power of speech and then came the loss of sight. That man may live a year or two longer, but death is Inevltaole. How much more humane It would be for a physio ian to administer some anesthetic to such a patient and painlessly end it all in a few minutes."

It may be of interest at this time to note seotlon 43 of the new primary law, providing for the eleotion of pre oinot committeemen. A portion of this section is as follows : There shsll be elected by eaoh polit ical party subject to this law at said primary nominating election a com mitteeman for each eleotion preoinot.

Andrews, who la traveling In tbe middle west with a Jaokson oounty exhibit, writes The Mail from Mitch ell, S. D., tbat the results so far have been moat flatterlngg. He baa been Bhowing his exhibits in toe towns along tbe route, in agricultural com munities principally, and la creating a whole lot of Interest in this seotlon smong tbe people. Mr. Andrews' Idea, as stated in The Mail a tew weeks ago, !b to show the people of the oountry he traverses something of the produota of Southern Oregon by carrying with him an ex hllit of tboce produota. A go:d many people have to be shown, It t':ey :r, not 1 e S'd entU3b to oome and see for themselves the next best thing is to send them an exhibit of this kind. Glowing pamphlets, pictures show ing a veritable "garden of the Gods,' and things like tbat have ceased to Impress greatly. What the class of people we need want- are demonstra tions, by actually seeing what oan be done here, of the capabilities of the oountry before they leave a seotlon where they have done well to invest some where else. This Mr. Andrews 1b doing and the following exoerpt from hia letter shows that he is doing it well: "I will be out," he says, "about tb last rf thla month or the first ot April with a large number of people who will make Medford and vicinity their future homes, if tbey oan se- oure desirable locations. I think there will be oloee to a oarload of peo ple from thia town alone," Tne people to whom Mr. Andrews appeals principally are those who have, by dint of hard and oontinuous work, fighting blizzards In the winter and drouths in summer, accumulated a stock of this world's goods. To them he shows a oountry where nature Is bountiful, where crops of all kinds grow and nature in perfection, where bitter oold and extreme heat la un known, where with half the labor re quired in their present looatlon, com. fort and happiness may be their por tion.

Is not the saloon business gradually loalng its place in the olass of respeot able oailingsf Let ub auBwer from a legal aspect. California's last legisla ture gave ub a new law aa follows: Seotlon 273, Penal Code. Any per son wnetner as parent, guaruian, em ployer or otherwise, who. as an em- plover or otherwise, or anv firm or corporation who, as an employer or otherwise, shall Bend direct or cause to be sent or dlreoted, to any saloon, gambling bouse, or house of prostitu tion, or other immoral places, sny minor under the age of eighteen years, is guilty or a miBuemeauor. . .... , Little by little saloons are being plaoed where tbey belong, among the infamies. Note above, their rank with gambling bouses, bouses of prostitu tlou and other Immoral places.
