The price of lemons Is reported to toe going up. Here's hoping that It will meet the price of beef coming Jown. It would coit this country a greut deal of money for monuments If all itm politicians were to become great statesmen. A lecture from Mr. Roosevelt on the subject of the square deal might help British sportsmen to see the error of their ways. And when genuine reform strikes Chicago, the rest of the country feels that it might as well give in and take at medicine. Manufacturers of marching club paraphernalia are also beginning to notice that prosperity Is once more at the door. The scientist who declared that the sun is cooling off has made no pedal effort to have his theory din cussed this summer. New Jersey has another ghost care. The way that trust-ridden tate has been cutting up was enough Co wake the dead. A Texas Are chief wants to prohibit the use of parlor matches.

From the numberous appeals for funds u looks as if the Democrats are having some trouble keeping up good head of steam in the road roller. SUII another scientist says he can photograph a man's soul. If he can, there are many men who would pay to Ira to smash the negatives. Ex change. After settling his business with the divorce court, John L.

"'Did anybody ever see a grass widow sick with ..ay fever?" asks the Oil City Blizzard. Don't know, but we have seen more than one In clover. Among those who have had great ness thrust upon them reentry Is Emll Zuschlax. president of the Interna tional Association for the Destruction of Rats. If set in small type, the list of campaign contributions this year Is ot likely to crowd very much Inter ring rending matter out of the news papers. An Oklahoma woman has Just se cured her second divorce from the ame man. If she marries him once Bore, we refuse to waste any sym pathy on him. At any rate, the young murderess ho was beheaded in Saxony last . week had tho satisfaction of knowing that all the gentlemen attending the ceremony-wore evening clothes. The Atlanta Gorgtan has run acroas a new detective story entitled "The Mystery of i our Fingers." Any thing with a title like that Is bound to sell well In "dry" 'tates. The Smiths, Joneses and Browns be In demand when votes are weeded, but we notice that It takes tta Flanagans, McGratht, Sulllrani and Murphy to get away with th prises at the Olympian games. After the discussion becomes ) trifle warmer some of us may fled it difficult to remember whether It is Gompers or Bryan who Is ruoninr for the presidency. It is claimed that 70,000 dugs and cats have ben killed in New York this summer. As a step toward se curing a noiseless city, this looks like going some. From the number of drowning ac cidents reported recently it appears that very few of the boat rockers footed with unloaded guns on the Fourth of July. Every American boy cannot hope to be president, but at the rate the new parties are springing up It may soon be possible for every one at some or other to be a candidate for the office. A monrlair, X. J., dog catcher has been bitten 3 .1)00 times and still lives. And possibly he doesn't even envy the business man who gets stung only once a month. Dr. Wiley thinks a good many di vorces can be charged to poor bread, but in numerous cases there Is a sus picion that the disagreement was brought about by a lack of dough. With Eugene Chafln and Eugene Deb beading two presidential tick ets, it looks as if we might lire to see the day when a man named "Percy" will be honored with the nominutton. An Ohio man has withdrawn from the race for congress because he killed a laborer with his motor car. He doubtless realized that the pedes trian vote Is now lost to him any how. It would he Interesting to kno v whether that St. Louis girl who suc ceeded In swimming 26 miles at a stretch ever complains of overwor!: nhen she has to help mother with the housework. The Democrats are determined to have war with Japan," asserts the In- dlunpolls Star. We don't know whether this is true or not, hut at any rate they will doubtless put It off until they get through fighting among themselves. In Philadelphia the doctors are struggling with "jowf," a new dlseas' which swellB the jaws to three times their natural size, ilntll the epidemic is over It might he a good idea for all spellbinders to give Philadelphia a wide berth.

Hlakely of Roseburg, who Is interested in the Sterling mine, will apply for a franchise from the city of Medford to operate an elec tric line through the city. Jackson ville and Ashland will also be asked to grant franchises to this company. Mr. Hlakely Is managing the inter ests of A. Welch la Koseburg, and It Is thought that he Is asking for the franchise In behalf of the Wil lamette Valley company, of which Mr. Welch Is president. It Is thought that the line will eventually connect Central Point and Gold Hill. This line would open up a vast region of wealth; fruit, mines uud lumber. The franchise In Medford will be asked for Seventh street, and It Is thought will continue west to Jack sonville. Jncksonvlllo Post. KIKE CAI'SEIt III HEAT. RENO, Nev., Aug. 3.

Too Klamath Falls Republican has this tn say ot the project: Probably the largest orchard to bo started In the Klamath country will be set out by George O. Brandenburg and G. Heltkemper, Jr., who have or dered 2.0U0 apple trees from the Ore gon Nursery and will plant the trees this fall on the 40 -acre tract they have purchased near Miller hill, a f"W miles south of the city. The trees are of four varieties Winter Banana, Wlnterstein, Sierra Beauty and Transcendeut crabs. All of these va rieties are especially adapted to high altitudes and experiments that have been made with them In climates lira ar to that of Klamath Bhow that they do exceptionally well and that thg quality of the apples is unexcelled. Most of the trees ordered by Messrs. Brandenburg and Heltkemper ure of the Winter Banana variety. It la the apple, according to Mr. Bran denburg's theory, that will make the Klamath country famous as a pro ducer of apples. He says he lias givc t the matter a great deal of attentat! and study, and now feels confident that the Klamath climate is Just whit is needed for the production of this apple which, for shipping, la one of the best grown. The Wiuterstetn Is a new apple find s one that Professor Burbanw has de veloped from the Gravesteln. It if several weeks later than the Graven stein and does well in high altitude The Sierra Beauty, the variety of which they ordered a large number of trees. Is an qpple that has for a number of years been grown In high altitudes In the Sierra mountains. I, is bright red In color and has been successfully grown In sections slmilir to Klamath. The Transcendent crab is perhaps the most hardy fruit that Is grown, it Is an apple that Is sure to do well 'n this section, and for cooking and eat ing la an id to be the best crop that has been produced. While there are a number of bear ing orchards throughout the Klamath basin and in the foothills, the one started by Messrs. Brandenburg aail Heitkemper will be watched with a great deal of Interest, as they aro the first to experiment with the varieties of apples that are said to be especial ly adapted to high altitudes. In ad dition to the apple trees they will alto put out seeral varieties of berries and an asparagus bed. Kxct'lleii. Heultlt Alvli. Mrs. M. M.
