TRADE AND UOI.I BALANCKK. The government statistics of for ign commerce, as made up to be close of the fiscal year on July 1, present an Interesting study on the balance of trade and Us relation to the movement of gold and Interna tional credits. The merchandise bal ance or excess of exports over Im ports, of $666,457,103, is the great est on record. It was closely approx imated by the 1664,592,000 balance for the year ended June 30, 1901, and that of $615,432,000 for 1898. But this ends a long succession of years In which our trade balances bare been technically favorable. For the past six years the excess of ex ports over imports was $2,895,000 COO. Since 1876, with the exception of three years, the balance has ben on the side of the United States, mak lnr an apparent balance In the SZ tars of $8,300,000,000. Before that time the balances were al-cu: as In variably against the United States. It is well known that the apparent balance is not the real one. A large amount must be allowed to offset for eign payments, such as expenditures of Americans abroad, payment of In terest any dividends on investments In this country held abroad and other items making the "invisible balance of trade." It can be safely assumed that the period prior to 1876 was one In which both by these expenditures and the adverse balances of trade the United States was piling up foreign debt; tbat from 1876 to about 1898 our merchandise balances largely off set the invisible balances. But since and Including 1898 our merchandise balances, amounting to $5,727,000, 000, have clearly been so large aa to mee the Invisible drafts and largely TMliice, If not wholly wipe out, our foro'gn Indebtedness. In these periods there has not been c'rse eorrespnodence of Import! of s:old with the favorabl balance of ti'H!e. Before 1876 there was an al most constant export of gold to mft'ie up '.uyments on our foreicn indebed bujm After 1878 there wa a period whr:i gold came our way t-j mel the demand caused by the resumption of apecie payments. Since 1898 the gold balance has fluctuated, sometimes In favor of this country and sometime; against it, as the money markets re quired. In the last three years a mer chandise balance of $ 1,630. 000, 00 wirt aeromp.in'ed by net tr.lal of im ports of $195,000,000; but In the three years preceding the m3-cltan-dise excess of $1,265,000,000 tvs accompanied by gold imports of b'K $41,000,000. Whether when this coun'ry re ceives gold It is drawing on a foreign credit, or borrowing money, or T.-iien It ships gold it is paying a le'jt, -r lending money, is a matter of opinion on which there Is no direct statistical evidence. Yet the gold movement of last fall affords a strong Indication on that point. At that time the money markets of Europe were in a strin gent condition and the great financial Institutions were using every means to protect the gold reserves. Yet In three months the United States drew from abroad (117,000,000 In gold. It may be reasonably doubted that any but a creditor nation could have drawn on Kurope for such an amount at such a juncture. Wherefore it Is a fair conclusion taht the $", 727,000, 000 of merchandise balances in the past II years have paid off foreign debts and established a credit balance for this country In the International money market. HOOST! We are in hope that pcoplp will notice that every issue of The Morn ing Mall Is a booster Issue. Wo wish to Invite all the people to enlist In the great booster campaign of the season of nil the seasons. Southern Ore h,.,ilnns are all boosters all the time. The true southern OreKonlan Is he who has the sunshine of the glorious cllmue in his heart, with the frag rance of the flowers and the song of the mocking birds. But this is to l a speclnl effort. Let us all Joint hands and "make a long pull, a strong pull, a pull alto gether," as they say at sea, and set things moving all along all lines. The one question Is how to boost Just now. One Boost all together. Take up all the good things In sight as one man and give them a good word, which all ran do and, as many as re able, give them all a helping hand If we all boost as with one mind, one heart and one hand, what a mighty force there will be and what an Im petus It will give to every good en terprise! Two Let us not slop to squab ble as to where we shall begin. Con tention is not boosting; nelng "stuck" on your own opinion Is not boosting. The booster forgets himwir, his m. fish Interests, his own ei. nutiotM. He loses himself In tho trjvd nut goes with the crowd, dolni v,l,at the crowd-is doing. If you ao In .ht op posite direction you go slowly and re tard the procession. In a tug of wnr, juember of the team have no will of Are Your Valuables In Safety? Are your valuables protected against the attacks of burglars or the sudden outbreak of fire? Do not be satisfied with doubtful protection, but secure the most positive kind of safety, by depos iting your valuables in the Fire and Burglar-Proof Vault of the Jackson County Bank. their own, no thought of their own No man can pull any but one any If J he Is loyal to bis fellows in 'he ten.u. With all the muscle of IVir Dody and all Its weight they jm-t Uraln at tbe rope and make things give way. A crew in a boat race does tbe same. The oars rise and fall In unison and the water flies In white foam around the prow. No man thinks of himself. Three Boosting is constructive. Tearing down Is knocking. It counts for nothing. We ere not engaged here lo removing debris. In demolish ing something out of date. Ours Is a new community in a new land and ous is a new age. The old things have all gone from sight. The debris is removed. We are builders. The material is here, the reason for do ing is here. The reward of work well done Is sure. The man who Is now crying out for a destructive cam paign of any kind Is a back number. He la a knocker. He la in the way of boosters. He belongs back In last century and should move to Rome. Destruction belongs to times of de pression. He is too slow, too fastidi ous, to be a good worker who wants to stop and wipe the dust off of the bricks. The good workman lays brick. He slaps on the mortar and puts the brick In place. A little dust Is nothing. Pour Boosting requires hearti ness of action on the part of all. Cheer up, Mary, and all the rest of you! Do not took down. Look up. See the bright side of things. Be optimistic to tbe last degree. Re member you are In Southern Oregon, the land of heart's desire for all the world, tbe land of great resources and great opportunities. Do not let a doubt or a misgiving take away half your energy. Reflect on the years of steady growth and great progress shlrh has been the rule here every lay. Now is as full of promise as any time in the past. As you put your shoulder to the big wheels which are to roll us farther along the road of achievement, put your whole force into the effort. The path Is clear be fore us and the goal is certain, at Its end success. Five The booster always has friends. "Laugh and the world laughs with you." Boost and the world oosts you. uo not be content to boost yourself. Call on every friend you have. Tell him what Is on foot. All Oregon Is boosting. The man who stays out will be left lonely by the wayside while the procession moves on. Do not let your friends get left. Do not lose them among the 'dead" ones who refuse to boost. Six The true booster Is the man who works fur the great communal interests and does not waste all his time In his own small interests. Thou sands huve been made here In the past because of Ihe general progress of the whole community. Lift things to a higher plane and we shall go up with the rest. The man who Is boost ing all southern Oregon has all south' ern Oregon boosting him. We all share the benefit of every foot of ad vance the crowd makes. Seven Hoost all the time. Steady effort is what counts. Do not boost one minute and knock the next. Do not lay bricks in the wall for an hour and then like a child pull them out. It is by constructing all the time that the building Is completed By rowing in one way the home stake is gained. The steady booster wastes no effort. The spasmodic booster, who knocks when things do not go as he thinks best, undoes his own work. Consistency Is a jewel and never more so than In a boosting campaign. To close, the time Is fully ripe for a boosting campaign and we have the people here to do the work. All we have to do is what most of us are al -ways doing. All we need Is to do so a little more so and enlist the kickers There has been a little resting spel' We have all taken breath and a res Let us put all our accumulated en ergy Into the effort of the day and all things will get an Impetus that will carry them along lo success smooMi'y and with expedition. If this boost. Ing Is done earnestly and wisely, as Is usually the case In southern Oregon, we shall have seen here the last gasp of depression tor years to come.

Won derful climate, this. What with dust and rooks and up heaved crossings, cement mixers, and others offensive things to many for enumeration, a part of Seventh street Is just now anything but an ideal place. But there Is always something objectionable in the exchange of old streets for new. Smiling Bill Taft and Sunny Jim Sherman must have laughed outright when they heard that H. O. Merry was the first man to bet on their elec tion. "Come here to die" reads a bead line in an Ashland paper. Probably the man wanted to go where there were plenty of other dead ones. The open season for deer Is on and the woods are full of hunters. Now comes the funeral of the man who 'looked like a deer." WILL KKKKR MARKET DAY. Max Zimmerman, the original mar ket day promoter, has decided to de fer the market day he had planned for Medford on August 1, for n fern weeks. The reason for his de.fiion was the fact that a large number of people are out of town at the presert time. Added to this fact the weather conditions are not at all favorable, and tbe big Redmen convention 1? here next week. These matters caused Zimmerman to change his mind. He has some very fine horses in this city at the resent time. He pro poses to make this city bis headquar ters for six weeks or two months. The market day held In Grants Pass on last Saturday was a great success. Do doubt a successful mar ket day can be held here at a later date.

CHICAGO, July 22. Tho United States Circuit court nf appeal a today reversed and remanded for retrial tbe cane of the government agalnat the Htandard OH company of Indiana, which Judge Land is In the District court had impoiwd a fine of $29,-' 240,000. The government has 30 day within which to file a petition for a rehear ing, and U was announced this after noon that It will be filed within the alloted time. n the opinion which was concurred In by Justices Seaman and Baker, dealing with the "intent" feature of the case a vital point Judge Grosscup says: "We should take up these subjects In the order stated; the first being whether a shipper can, without error, be convicted of accepting a concession from the lawful published rate, 'ea though it Is not shown as being on a matter of intent, that shipper at the time of accepting such concession knew what the lawful published rat was a view of law that is embodied in the charge and carried out In the ruling, excluding certain proffer! testimony, Including that of one Kt.il Borgardus, who, being In absolute charge of the traffic affairs of the plaintiff In error, offered to testify that during that period he (k1 not know anything about the 18-ceni. rutc ovr tbe Chicago t Alton "llrrs-l, li.st his attention had never been tailed to any such rate by any ;ier Lons or by examination of an lo'.-u ment, and that It was his understand im; and belief based on what t3 was i old by one Holland, a tariff clerk for the Alton road, that the rate er the Alton road was 6 cents, ati'i that late had been filed with the intvnttate commerce commission. Jr.dge Grosscup's opinion leaves lit tle of contention tbat each carload at C-cent rat j constituted a separate offense. Even In .hi,. merits, of whl.h there liut 500, hut could noc be m con- tillered unde. the ruling rf the votn t. Ti'ti hue should have beta haucl ou ctticments between the raiVo.pl rnd oil company. Of these there were Just 36. The maximum fine on this basis ould amount to but $72,000, and the minimum, $36,000. The latter figure being considerably lower than $223, 000, which the Standard OH company Is alleged to have received in rebates on the shipments. In event the rehearing Is denied, the government may go to trial on the original Indictment, containing 1.462 counts. Mr. Sims wi,l be ready to take within two weeks.or upon any one of the seven indictments, con taining 4.442 counts. As a vast amount of work has been done on the case just recorded. It is unlikely that an entirely new case will be Insti tuted. The record of tbe present case contains over a million and a half words, and Is estimated to have cost the government $200,000. Another move which may be made by the federal authorities Is to trans fer the prosecution from this jurisdic tion to the westei n New York district or to the eastern Tennessee Vtr! : In these two districts government Investigation led to indictments con- alning about 2,000 founts agRnt ttic Standard Oil company. The most striking portion of the decision opitomlxing the attitude of the court wss as follows: "Counsel for the government say. in concluding their brief, that the Rlklns act was passed because the peace and society and welfare of the people demand It; that railroad In equality means business ruin to all xcept those powerful enough to make themselves beneficiaries of dipcrimi nation; means of wiping out of In dustry, of a town, of a city at the command of officers of private cor poration; that railroad inequality Is a basis of monopoly and wrongful concentration of wealth; that no law of pure vital Importance was ever passed by congress, and that those guilty of violating It are guilty of a serious crime against the principles of Industrial freedom and equality. Every sentence of this arraignment is true; that this court recognizes the importance of enforcement of tbe act is shown by Its affirmance of pen- - tbat under other circumstances would be regarded as very severe. But the interstate commerce commis sion act, important as that law Is, is not the only law under which we live. We live under the guarantee that reaches back to the beginning of our law, and Is securely planted In every foundation of clvlllxed government that no one shall be punishe nittl he has been heard. "Than this fundamental guarantee there can be set no higher preroga tive, for If once lot It comm to dubs hat under stress i t tnforciiiff equal' lty, and power In government may override fundamental rights of being judged only after having been duly tried a right just as essential In as sociated relation to corporations as to men In relation of co-partnership or to men Individually there will re n nlu no commerce worth th: same to safeguard. The beginning of com merce Is constitutional government and the foundation of constitutional, government Is the tan ft that every guarantee of our Institutions no mat ter what the provocation will be sacredly observed." Judge Grosscuo did not read the decision, merely referring to It by number and stating that the case was , reversed and remanded. There was jubilation among the Standard OH attorneys, who del-.ied that the decision had been expected.) while the government attorneys went j quieiiy io Air. aims omc-e to sttiuy the document. KKKI OI'T .UAS8HOKUK. During the past two or three weeks the grasshoppers have been making "ives at home in some of the orr-hards in the valley, and, although they hate not as yet become a great nuisance, they are mnkn.r t!r pres enve known, especial' ihe Many of the ranchers of the val ley are not acquainted with the hab its of the pests, and they do not know just what to do when the Insects first are noticed. Captain Reynolds of this valley has perhaps the roost success ful preventative and one that Is very simple. He has experimented for some time with different remedies until now he has one that Is certain to do the work. He takes a pound of arsenic and puts It In a mixture of one gallon of molasses and 15 gallons of water. When this is dissolved be mixes brar in the solution until It Is absorbed and then places tht bran a boat the trees that he wishe-i to protect The next morning after placing the mix ture he finds vast quantities of the pests lying about upon the ground This is a very simple remedy and me that should find favor with the iirlous orchardlsts of this valley. lltCNKHT TO FKl'lT MKV. SAL KM, Or., July 22. After Wed nesday, July 22, the Southern Pacific win put in force a new tariff provid ing for the reduction of the minimum weight to 20,000 pounds for cherries, plums, prunes, pears and other fresh fruits, in place of the former mini mum of 24,000 pounds. The same tariff has been In force on the O. R. & X. The new arrangement was made by special permission of the railroad commission and will remain in force until December 31, 190S. A. S. Rosenbaum, the local agent of the Southern Pacific company, stated yesterday that he has not as yet been advised In regard to the reduction of ihe minimum amount of fresh fruit In a car. He says that no doubt the statement Is correct and that he will be advised regarding the reduction within a few days. The reduction will prove of ma terial benefit to the local fruit mow ers, especially those who do not grow great quantities of fruit, for they will not be forced to pay for any dead freight when shipping In carload lota If a Rogue River valley shipper ships of fruit to the east which only weighs 20,000 pounds he would be out about $40 on the car under the minimum of 24,000 pounds. Under the minimum which went Into effect yesterday the local growers will bene fit to a considerable extent. IXYKSTS C ASH IX TUXl'MES. .tiedford again sets an example of business prosperity, a prosperity that all agree is steadily Improving. Proof that money is plentiful, comparative ly, in the metropolis of southern Ore gon Is furnished in the reports of business men In those walks of life devoted to the expensive luxuries of life. Automobile dealers, piano deal ers, jewelers, all report that business is brisk and bids fair to surpass all foimer records In this section. There Is one great reason for t.'.e present prosperity in the Rogue River valley, and that is the fact that the fruit crop this year will be a large one and that record prices will be re ceived for It. The splendid season of last year has made it possible for many to purchase those things which are regarded as luxuries of life. That people are not hoarding their money as formerly is shown by recent pmchasts. Of course, just at thU time, midsummer quietness prevails but matters are bound to pick up with cooler weather. It is a feature of the recent sales that so many of them aru to the ranchmen of the valley. pi-actlcally all tbe music dea'era -igree that It Is the high-priced In struments that have had me greatest sale, and that, while many moderate priced Instruments have been In stalled on the Installment plan, cash has been paiu for the high priced ones, as has been the case In automo mlle sales. That this section Is fortunate In having such resources as to make It most prosperous Is known to all. XKW RKSIDKXTS. Mr. and Mrs. A. Coleman have re turned from Portland and have com menced housekeeping on West Seventh street. These people are but recently from Fresno, Cal., and since coming here Mr. Coleman has pur chased the A. M. Short residence on West 8eventh street, near the school house, paying $6,000 for the same. He Is now at work removing the front fence and generally Improving the property. He will grade the lots and put In a cement sidewalk. He ex pects to remove the present wooden dwelling and In due course of time he has a notion that the material In the brick dwelling will be used In the construction of a business block on the lota. Don't forget the Medford Phar macy, neit to the postofflto. . HAVK JbKAKKO COAL UMK. The property of X. D. McDowell, three miles northwest of Kat;lc Point, has Itvvn leased by a Califor nia syndicate, whose headquarters are in Pasadena, Cat., which will im mediately begin prospect work to de termine the amount of coal underly ing the place. The tools have been shipped from California and aii ex pected within a short time. The price paid for the lease m: the property Is $1')0 an acre The p!a:e consists of 200 acres of land, and on the land are some very Ane prospects of coal. There seems but little doubt but that a wealth of coal underlies the land, and the new company will verify a few of the prospects before purchasing the property. The work is to be undertaken with in a short time, according to the In terested parties, and will be carried on throughout the summer. If the prospects are as good as Is thought the syndicate will purchase the prop erty and will develope It. TKOl lll.K OVKIt HMIH fcOU. The question of government owner ship of railroads is an Inslgnlficent one In comparison with the question as to the ownership of a lot of per sonal household effects which were disposed of to H. K. Wilson & Co-second-hand dealers, by Mrs. Emily Good body of this city on Monday aft ernoon just before she left for Se attle. She gave a bill of sale for the goods, and now comes O. Olsen, her son-in-law, with the complaint that the goods which were sold belonged io him and not to Mrs. Good body. The matter has gotten Into a nice mess and the police have been called In to straighten the matter out. Mrs. Good body sent for Mr. Wilson on Monday and told him that she hud a considerable amount of household goods that she wished to dlsose of. He called on her and paid her $39 for the goods. A bill of sale was given lo him, which was made out In popvr from by the legal firm of Colvit; Durham. Mr. Wilson thought thrt. as it w alsate, he would wait until Tuesday morning before having tbe goods moved to his store. But wh;i the drayman went to tbe late rei dence of Mrs. Good body the goods were gone. The police had them in storage. In accordance with a request on the part of Mr. Olsen, who claims that the goods are his. On Monday evening Mrs. Goodbody left for 8eattle, where she Is at the present time, presumably. It mav b that the matter will be brought to such a pass that she will be brought back here to explain the matter. Some time ago Olsen was sued for divorce by his wife, who gave as her grounds that he waa in a state of continual drunkenness. Olsen has been In the recorder's court a nun. ber of times on this charge. Tbe goodt which were sold to Mr Wilson consist of stoves, tubs, hard ware and household goods In general KIG TIMK AT HONOLULU. HONOLULU, July 17. Compris ing the greatest military pageant ever witnessed In this city, 3,200 sailors of the Atlantic squadron pa-! raded this morning, arousing en thusiastic cheers from the dense throng which lined the way along which they passed. Before the march began men were drawn up in , company formation and a committee of 100 Hawaiian ladies passed along the ranks, placing about the neck of each white-clad jackie a wreath of flowers characteristic of the islands. It was a pretty ceremonial and was picturesque in the extreme. This afternoon a formal reception was given to the officers by the com mandant of the naval station, and tonight the officers gathered at Wal kikl beach, where a ball was given by the citizens in their honor. During the dace the second division of the fleet, at anchor just off the beach, played searchlights on the pavilion. BUY AX TALKS. LINCOLN, Neb., July 21. High above the electric wires of the trac tion company, the Taft banner, which met an lgnomlnliis fate the night be fore the nomination of Bryan, wah agaiti flung to the brees. Mutilated and begrimed, the banner was tretched across the street In the same location from which It was said the Democrats had torn It. .Most of today was spent by Bryan delivering short speeches on the cam paign Into a phonograph. Previously he had made similar records for a concern. Of his own volition Bryan said he received $500 from each of two concerns as compensation for his work. When asked if he will not ac cept In this way a campaign contribu tion from a corporation, Bryan suited that the whole proposition was a commercial one, for which he could properly receive pay for his labors. The remittances were not retained by him, but he turned them over to the state and county Democratic commit' tees as personal contributions. rOWDKIl A BOY: A nOCTOK. KLAMATH FALLS. July 21.
