lunchboxes filled with good things
were brought forth and their con
tents furnished a fine dinner on the
hungry ones, for hungry we surely
were, as some of us rode a distance
of 17 miles over sagebrush roads to
help celebrate. While President
Roosevelt and Presldent-to-Be Taft
and would-be President W. J. Bryan
and other noted men of the nation
ceuld not be present on account of
pressing business elsewhere, we all
had a royal good time, any way. Af
ter dinner a nice program was ren
dered, opening with the
national
song, "America." followed by recl -
tatlons and songs. Foot races. Jump
ing and other games were Indulged
in. It may not be fully realised by
those who live in a more densely set
tled region and w'th environments
far different from us of the almost
boundless desert section what It Is to
us to enjoy these gatherings. Isolat
ed as we are at present, we anticipate
that m the near future our desert
will "blossom as the rose." When
the iron steed and the trolley cars
will speed across our cleared and cul
tivated plains, dotted here and there
with pleasant homes, then will our
efforts be rewarded.

UKAKHHOPPKR PEST.
Iah Watklns of Central Point Ha a
Remedy.
Central Point, Or., June 13.
Editor Morning Mail.
Dear Sir: I hear some ocrapinints
of the grasshoppers as a pest In some
nails of the country. Wo nre
U roatened In our neighborhood, but
as yet they have not done much dam
age, but I wrote to the United States
department of agriculture to know If
they could cite us a remedy that
woul'l enable us to handle or de-
itro;- the hopper. 1.. O. Howard, en
tomologist and chief of the bureau.
sent me circular No. 84. Issued April
6, 1907. which reads In part ns fol-
ov.'- "Hardly a season passes lim
ing which more or less serious out
breaks are not reported in different
localities, and the aid of this bureau
la frequently invoked In destroying
these grasshoppers or otherwise les
sening their ravages. Thus during
the year 1905 one such outbreak was
reported from California, seven from
Colorado, one from Idaho, ten from
Kansas, three from New Mexico, two
from Utah and one from Texaa. It
la in no wise likely that these num
bers Indicate more than a minor por
tion of the destructive outbreaks of
these pests that actually occurred
over this territory, and the serious
ness of some of these outbreaks as
indicated by the fact that as many
as 12 complaints were received from
a single locality. In fact, the proba
bilities are that, aa this agricultu
ral industry increases, the amount
of injury Inflicted by these Insects
will greatly Increase In future unless
measures are taken to control them.
(Poisoned Baits) After speaking
of other remedies, the circular says:
'Here again we have an inexpensive"
practical way of dealing with these
grasshoppers, even when, as Is fre
quently the case, they breed In al
falfa fields and the protection, what
ever it may be, must be applied
there. What has come to be known
as the "griddle mixture" is giving
most satisfactory results on the
ranches of both the United States
and Canada. The mixture is com
posed of half a barrel of fresh horse
droppings, In which is mixed one
pound each of salt and Paris Green.
If the horse droppings are not fresh
the salt Is dissolved in water and
mixed with the manure and poison
When this mixture Is scattered free
ly about where the grasshoppers are
abundant they seem to be attracted
to It, for they devour It readily and
are poisoned thereby. A case Iti ctied
where a field was protected by this
mixture being scattered around Its
borders, while other fields adjoining
and not likewise protected was total
ly destroyed. This griddle mixture
now seems preferable to the pois
oned bran remedy that has given and
still continues to give beneficial re
sults, for It Is less expensive than the
latter and less likely to poison other
animal life.
"Approved by James Wilson, sec
retary of agriculture, Washington,
D. C. February 20, 1907."
If the farmers would co-operate
In tbe use of this mixture they
woui.i soon stamp out or control the
rrasshopper pest. People can sa'e
theli- orchards by placing this rolx
lure freely around trees and along
borders leading to orchards. If yon
will kindly publish the above It may
be tbe meant of assisting tome farm
ers or orchard Ists In the valley and

COMMUNICATION.
James V. Coss, Jr., Explains His Side
of I he Story.
Medford, Or., July 11, 1908,
Editor Medford Morning Mall:
As so much publicity Is given to
the matter of H. M. Coss in regard to
the guardianship of our father, J F.
Coss, Sr., I feel, in Justice to my
self and my father. I should give the
public my side of the case. In the
Issue of July the article states the
charges against me grow out of
1 ,,m"' trouble over the custody of
:our f,,her' 1 wl,h to th,t M
Is doing me an injustice of which 1
have a right to explain to the public.
81 nee my parents came to the home
of H. M. Cose, nearly a year ago, 1
have never tried to entire or influ
ence my father to leave H. M. Coss'
home, and did not send a man to ac
company my father to Spokane until
after I had received a letter from
father stating that he had made sev
eral attempts to get away from H. M.
Coss, and that his son Howard would
not let him go. As to the custody
of my father, I have no contention;
..e wishes of my father govern my
actions. It my father wishes to re
main In Medford and the court will
protect father's money for father's
benefit I hare no objection to raise
If father wishes to return to my home
Sokane, where be was enjoying
his life In peace and comfort, and
aylng, "I am glad I got away from
Medford." It seems cruelty to coin
pel that aged father to have to ac
cept a home not of his choice. I have
been accused of trying to get my
father's money and state that my fi
nancial affairs ate In a perfectly sol
vent condition, as any one can ascer
tain from tbe records of Adams and
Spokane county, Washington.
Your article atates that I sent an
agent and clandestinely took the old
man away. What legal right had H
M. Coss, without a legal appointment
as guardian (which he did not have
to prevent my father going to my
borne with an escort I sent, when It
was my father's wish and at bis re
quest. All I ask is Justice In this
matter to that old father and his
wishes respected. He may be feeble
In body, but hit mind is not half so
feeble as those who would judge It
and his mind It clear, and he
knowa the difference between kind
treatment and 111 treatment.
The article ttated that until n few
dayt ago the old man made hit home
with H. M. Coss. The statement is
wrong, as father was living with me
from May 1 3 to July . the date we
started for Medford, and the resi
dence (as my father told me) with
his ton, H. M. Coss, was against fath
er's wish for about nine months. All
1 ask in this matter it that the peo
ple will not be hasty In their con
demnation of me, and compare my
record In Washington .with others
from that state who are residents of
Medford and who are seeking to mis
represent me here in Jackson county.
Oregon. Respectfully yours.

A LUMBER TRl ST.
Organization oi a lumber trust,
capitalized at 1300,000.000, is bulle
tined from St. Louis. Contemplating
this organization can any one believe
that the movement for conservation
of our forests was started any too
in? Need anyone wonder whence
comes the persistent opposition to
government control of forests? Some
time ago we reprinted, from a maga
zine representing the lumber trade.
an article advising all who can to
build this season. It was pointed out
that lumber Is now cheaper than for
several years, and the editor prophet
ically declared It is cheaper than it
will be In the years to come. True,
he gave no Intimation of a lumber
trust, but we believe his advice was
good. It is a good time to build
now, this year. The boom will be
on again soon and prices of lumber
will go higher.

Klamath Man Patents Device.
On the 23d of last month the Unit
ed States patent office iaaued to P.
B. Southworth of thlt city letters pat
ent for a mall bag catching da. ice.
In an Interview with Mr. Koulhworth
a represents!.! e of the Herald ascer
tained the following facta:
Yhe devlca conalttt of a castlron
hollow tube fbt ut nine feetin height,
tanning from tte hti-o to a w.liu-sn!,-
ileal he:id. Tho main feature t.f
Uie device, ailde fro;U tbe revolving
head, it a series of coll springs of dif
ferent tensions, each spring being
placed In a bucket In such a manner
that It It protected from more strain
than It It Intended to stand. To Il
lustrate the advantage hart It In
placing a bucket for example, place a
100t.pound spring at the ton of the
r prlng tube, next to It and below
'place a 600-pound spring and below
this place aonther 1000-pound one,
each one of tbem resting In a bucket
which Is made long enough to close
over to as to protect the spring from
further strain after its strength has
been utilized.
The combined strength of the three
springs will be 2600 pounds, while
the blow from a 200-pound mall bag
delivered from a train going at the
rate of 50 or 60 miles an hour will
be about 1000 pounds. Should three
200-pound bags be strapped together
and delivered to one of the devices
they would strike a 3000-pound blow
if the train were going at 60 miles an
hour. There would be a strain of
2500 pounds on the springs and a
500-pound strain on the buckets In
closing the springs. Had a 100-
pound spring and a corresponding
bucket been placed In the tube with
the others it would have stood the
strain without the slightest injury to
tbe weaker spring, each bucket pro
tecting the spring It Incloses from
being overtaxed.
Mr. Southworth states that the ob
ject of the device is to use light
Bprings for light weights, and heavy
springs for heavy weights, and by fol
lowing out this principle he claims
that he can stop any weight, regard
less of the rate of speed with which
the train it moving. Herald.
