MASTKJtLY INACTIVITY.
Ashhuul and Grants Pass are both to have free mail
delivery, although the receipts of neither postoffice is
as great as the receipts of the Medford office.
Application has boon made by both cities and an in
spector has been detailed to ascertain whether the regu
lations regarding sidewalks, street lights, street signs and
house numbers have been met, and if they have free deliv
ery will speedily follow.
In Ashland the committee of the Commercial club has
gone over the" city and submitted its recommendations
to the council, which referred them to the street commit
tee with power to act, and the regulations are being com-,
plied with.
Last. October iled ford's postal receipts passed the $10,
000 mark, the required amount to secure free delivery,
The postmaster informed the council that if regulations
were complied with, free delivery would follow. The coun
cil passed an ordinance requiring the numbering of houses.
The matter was referred to the city engineer and city attor
ney and a campaign of masterly inactivity has followed.
Med ford's postal receipts now total $15,000 a year.
I 'art of the houses are numbered. No effort is made to
enforce the ordinance, and compel the numbering of oth
ers. The city engineer has not finished his plat, begun
last December, so that people may know the correct num
bers for their property.
Not a street sign points the way in Medford. People
don't know the streets they live on. They describe their
address by landmarks, which are unfamiliar to all except
I he native.
Sidewalks are being rapidly laid, but not on a uniform
basis, so as io meet the requirements.
The eity council, street committee, city engineer and
oilier authorities are doing nothing, and it is high time
something was done. Mere is work for the Commercial
club- work that affects the convenience- of everyone liv
ing in the city.

Alfred Farlow writes to the Boston
Post In answer to criticisms made upon
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy by Dr. Richard
C. Cabot ia MeCIure'n Magazine, nLu
declared :
"For if it is true as Mated on j.ne
120 of 'Science and Health,' that
'health in not a condition of matter,
but of mind, nor can the material sense
bear reliable testimony on this subject
of course 'the material senses' cannot
be trusted when they testify that can
cor, consumption, broken bonen, or lo
comotor alalia have been cured by
christian Science."
In reply to this statement we would
say that the evidence of the material
m-nscs, in respect to disease, yields un
der Christian Science treatment to a
higher, better, more Hpiritu.il sense nf
being, consequently the patient does not
need to ask the material senses to tenti
fy to or confirm the fact of the heal
Christian Slcence Cures All.
Every case of functional d incase, hav
ing an organic foundation can only be
cured by destroying its organic foun
dation. Therefore, on the testimony of
distinguished nut hori ties, the fact
established that Cnristinn Science cures
.ill kinds of diseases, for it is evident
that a functional disorder which orig
inates In n defective organ cannot be
cured unless the organic disease
first destroyed, for the functional dis
order being an effect must of necessity
reappear so long as its cause is not des
troyod.
No doubt when, under Christian Sci
once treatment, a patient hegins to tm
prove, there is produced "in the patient
a strong belief that he will get well,
but to say it is this belief, which euros
the patient is to fail entirely to analyze
the inhodus operandi of the healing.
The healing remedy in Christian Sei
encn is the realization of the divine
power and presence which Illumines the
mentality of the patient and destroys
hts sense and fear of disense, just as
the light dispels the darkness.
Other Treatments Differ.
Thus the foundation of disease is do
stroyed and the effects disappear from
the body. Other systems ot giving
mental treatment differ from Christian
Science in proport ion as they differ
from the method ,inst described. A
Christ inn Scientist would not hope to
succeed in curing a patient by the mere
belief that the patient will get well,
although he is awurn that such nn en
cournging belief is always helpful to a
patient.

That Taxpayers' Petition.
PORTLAND, Or., August 18. To the
Lditor: Many thnnka for the breezy
news item in reference to our taxpav-
ers' initiative petition, which appenred
in your columns in the tssun nf August
7. While the leaders of the equal suf
frage movement in Oregon have by no
moans" lost all hope of getting the
renl thing," which is sure to come to
us sooner or Inter; and, while we deep
ly regret the fact that the majority of
the sons of Oregon's faithful women
are not yet wise enough to protect
their mothers' inalienable rights
through the ballot box. it is true that !
wo hnvo become "willing to eoinprom- ,
ise on the theory that half n loaf is
better than no hrend." It is also true
thnt an office for directing the peti
tion work has been opened, paid for and
managed by a man; and, so far as I
know, no woman has entered its por
tnls. The expense of this work, in
cluding office rent and receiving nnd
certifying the names of petitioners, is
p. nd by contributions from Oregon tax
payers both men and women nnd the
slogan of the new campaign we

After giving in detail the results of
the recent soil survey of Wasco county
a bulletin recently issued by tho Oregon
agricultural college contains the follow
ing conclusions:
The conditions existing at Hood Itiv-
er make thnt section a natural apple
country, nnd from present indications
the Yellow Newton nnd Spitzenberg
will continue to be the leading varieties
1 he conditions are such in this valley
that strawberries can be grown to good
advantage, but as the profit in apples
is greater the strawberries will be conn
ed to tho new sections where land ih
being cleared nnd new orchards estab
lished. At Mosier tho indications are
that apple will he the leading crop.
At Thi! Dalles everything at present
points to tho large develnpcracnt or the
cherry, peach nad prune growing, the
conditions there favoring these crops,
while grapi-s and apples will he grown
in less iiuantity.
The methods used in cultivating the
soil are such as to maintain a splendid
soil mulch. Irrigation is bound to be
come a factor in the development of the
country. As a rule water is being used
carefully but some growers are using it
in such a way that if it is continued
tho soil and probablv tree nnd fruit will
bo injured. On nu average of one or
two irrigations will be all that will he
nended on bearing orchards, and the
problem will bo to use as little weler us
possiblo and yet grow a high grade pro
duct nn an economical basis.
Unfortunately chemical analvsis does
not tell us the exact amount nf plant- j
food available. It tells us, however, I
when certain eloments uro lacking. The j
analyses show that tho soils of the
onnty are, on tho whole, of average
fertility, but there are also soils that
will wear out easily and generally sem
to bo deficient in humus. Practically
none of tho growers are ns yet using
cover crops, but something must bo done
before long to furnish the soils with
humus and plaut food. Cover crops are
one of the best agencies to bring about
iIicho results. A rotation nf such plants
as vetch, eowhoru turnips, and rye, is
proving effectual in othe localities.
'nless some such system is adopted
stable compost mnst be added or else
some methods such ns are being used in
I'ayetto, Idaho, where clover is being
grown, to supply the humus, must be
adopted.
In pruning, care is being usod to have
e trees bended at the proper height
and the trees are generally pruned on
the open center system but ns yet the
majority of growers do not head the
tres back severely enough during the
first few years of their growth. If
young trees are nllowed to go without
heading back and bear heavy crops, the
first few bearing seasons, their vitality
is impared, und also a large percentage
of brenking will take place.
Insects and fungus diseases are be
ing combutted systematically and quite
efficiently, hi the future there will bo
a better common understanding ns to
the beit dates and number of applica
tions to make in spraying for.codlin
rnnth. While Homo growers feel that
tw.. ipray will do the work, on the oth
r hand, if a grower is nbtnining a
Urge percentage of worm free fruit
with more sprayings he should experi
ment somewhat before mnking a decid
ed change,
Such problem as methods of pruning,
distance and systems of planting, use
of cover crop, irrigation, best methods
ftt controling psts, are good subjects
for diirtmion and experiment in Wasco
c.nintr
