Well, let's get after that water committee and rush that water along from Wasson canyon. Election Is over and the drys have It. Now let every one forget their lit tle political differences and all get la behind and boost. Jackson coun ty Is the best place on earth, after all. The election being now over, we can begin turning our attention to building up the country, Inducing emigration and other little things like that. The pessimist has his uses not many, but some. By continually harping about tho "hole In the doughnut," he makes the optimist mad and he builds his part that much much better. Neuropsychopathic citizens are abundant and their neurasthenia has a tendency to Increase as the election returns are coming In. Local medi cal science applies to It the term of Juneoneruasthenla. But what is the matter with the Rogue river apples? It might be well at this time for the people of this locality to look out for their sewerage service and pre vent any disease which the summer months Is apt to bring on. While Medford Is always In a healthful state It can only be maintained by a careful attention to sanitary condi tions. Burglars entered the furniture store of Campbell & Tel li man at Eu gene and appropriated two cents. They will probably buy Standard OH stock with their ill-gotten gains. Now It Is up to the calamity-howl ers to muke good their forecasts that Jackson county will go bankrupt un der a dry ref-lme. But somehow the fruit trees look as good an ever this morning.

The Brooklyn Times says: "The professional baseball team of Hous ton, Tex., has adopted a baby. The team was traveling when a young mother asked one of the pitchers to hold the child for a few moments. She went Into tho next car, and at the next station she got off the train and disappeared. The teammates then determined to keep and rear the child and use it as a mascot. It Is said that the Houston team has been playing winning ball ever since its new mascot arrived." When this Item makes the entire rounds of the press every losing ball team will be Sterilized apple juice Is a popular non-alcoholic beverage In many parts of Germany and France, and large quantities of apples are Imported from the United States by persons engaged in Its manufacture In the countries mentioned. Recently there has been some complaint about the quality of the fruit, which. It Is claimed, lacks uniformity, and it Is suggested that "if a company were formed In the United States which would buy and furnish the supply of dried apples of the desired quality and uniformity to Europeaa manu facturers," ws should Increase our sales of the fruit. Why not form a company In Medford to carry the suggestion a step further; that Is to say, have It select the good fruit of this valley and convert It Into steril ized apple juice and ship It to Eu rope? A great saving would be ef fected by resorting to such a course, and another Industry added to those in and near this city. For a Sprained Ankle. As usually treated, a sptalned an kle will disable the Injured person for a month or more, but by apply ing Chamberlain's Liniment and ob serving the directions with each bot tle faithfully, a cure may be effected In many cases In less than one week's time. This liniment Is a most re markable preparation. Try It for a spalr or bruise, or when laid up with chronic or muscular rheumatism, and you are certain to be delighted with the prompt relief which It affords. For sale by Chas. Strang. WILL BENEFIT COUNTIES WASHINGTON. June I. The fact that Western states are hereafter to receive 26 per cent of the receipts of forest reserves, In lieu of 10 per cent which they have received dur ing the past two years, Is due very largely to the work of Senator Pul ton and Representative Ilawley of Oregon. It was Mr. Fulton who pro posed the amendment to the agricul tural appropriation bill In the Sen ate, and It was Mr. Hawiey who per suaded the house conferees to ac cept the amendment, after they had held out long and announced that they would not stand 'or the In crease. Behind this legislation Is an Interesting Btory. The original proposition to give the states a share of the receipts from forest reserves that is, a part of the money received from sales of timber, grazing privileges, etc., was first advanced by Mr. Fulton two years ago. He contended that the reservation of land decreased the tax able area of those counties In which reserves were located, and corre spondingly made the burden the heavier on property-holders. He said the counties should be compen sated for the money they would ulti mately receive In taxes, should the reserved land pass to private owner ship, and he contended for 25 per cent of the receipts, the money to be paid by the federal government to the states, and by the states pro rated to the various counties affect ed, to be used for school purposes and for the building of roads. At that time, however, congress would not consent to give the states 25 per cent, and reduced the amount to 10 per cent. For the past two years the states have receivod this 10 per cent, and it has been found that the amount, in most Instances, Is too small to accomplish much in the way of main taining schools or building roads. For that reason Mr. Fulton this year proposed to increase the amount to 25 per cent, and after a spirited fight led by Senator Heyburn of Idaho his amendment was adopted tu the sen ate. In fighting the amendment, Mr. Heyburn said that bis state could not use any of this money for road con struction, but Investigation devel oped the fact that the state had done so just as other states had done, and Mr. Heyburn 's objection was over ruled, it did not develop until later why Mr. Heyburn opposed the amendment. Kver slnco he entered the senate Mr. Heyburn has been fighting the forestry policy and the forest serv ice. Vh'n the proposition was made to give the states 25 per cent of the receipts from reserves a proposi tion, by the way, that was indorsed by the forest service, Mr. Heyburn realized that this increase would tend to soften tho hearts of many persons who had been criticising the service, particularly those who condemned tho reserves because they reduced the taxuble area In new statin. In other words, he saw the props being ktocked from uuder one of his lead ing arguments. Ho did not want to lose this point, so he foupht to hold down the donatlim to the states, though on the floor of the senate be did not state the true ground for Ms opposition. When tho agricultural bill, carry ing the Fulton 23 per cent amend ment, went to conference, the house conferees stood out against the In crease, taking the position that the states were not entitled to so greit a share of the receipts. The senate conferees worked for sevral days, but were unable to budge the house trio, and had about glvtn up the fight when Mr. Hawiey, a memr.:r of the agriculture committee, ap peared on the scene. He expb.iiird to the house conferees that In crease was absolutely just and prop er and Bhould be granted, and h se; forth the reasons. When he coi eluded his statement, the cha'rnm:. of the house conferees said: "Well, Mr. Hawiey, If you will vouch for the amendment I am will ing to accept your judgment aiinsi, my own, and will no longer operac the Increase. The other conferees on the pirt v the bouse, who had served on coi.i mlttee with Mr. Hawiey, eiprewed similar views and in that wa; the Increase was accepted. The forest service, though l d'd not recommend the Increase, ca.v'cd by the Fulton amendment, was hsut lly In favor of Its adoption. Wl Ue the forest service Is making every effort to place the forest reserve on a self-sustaining basis. It I.elte7es It good policy to divert one-quarter of Its receipts to the respective stmoj realising that this step would largely tend to allay opposition which milt prevails In certain parts of the We it. The time Is coming, and corult.ft soon, when receipts from reserves will meet all the expense of aduiti's tratlon and protection and as the re ceipts Increase, the benefits to the states will grow correspondingly, it Is predicted that Inside of fle yar possibly In two or three tbt, for est service will not be co-npelted to go to congress for appropriation; ths receipts from the reserves will defray all expenses, and la tan act distant future will turn a handnmo surplus Into the federal treasury, un less congress makes tome other de position of the receipts above cost.

Collins, on B street was entered on Sunday evening by some unknown person, who ransacked the place, but failed to take anything but a quantity of food which was cooked and on the dlnlngroom table. Other things may have been taken, but nothing so far has been missed. In gaining entrance the burglar slit the screen door at the rear of the residence, but found that the In side door was locked. He then went around to the front of the residence and entered by the front door, which was unlocked. That he was a tramp Is shown by the fact that he took food from the table In the dining-room and noth ing else Mr. Collins has a number of pieces of valuable silverware In his house, but evidently the Intruder overlooked these, for he did not rare to take anything which he might have trouble of disposing of. Mr. Collins and family had been away all of the day on Sunday and upon his return home did not notice anything out of the way. Yesterday mornlnj he noticed that a slit had been cut In the screen door at the rear of the house.
