DR. VAN GESNER TALKS
OF MEDFORD ORCHARDS
Dr. Van (iesuer of this city, who has
just returned from u few weeks' visit
in Rogue Hirer valley, says the fruit
growers of that region are preparing to
fortify their orchards agniast untimely
frosts another season by burning crude
oil among the trees when the tempera
turn is low in tho spring. The fruit crop
around Medford, he says, has been cut
down this season by sudden frosts and
protract' d cold rains, but formars who
hail prepared to fight tlio chilly periods
by "smudging" have good yields. This
smudging consisted of brush fires on
tho windy side of the trees, and the
smoke thus engendered was wafted
among the blossoms, which were thus
protected from injury.
"Hut they havo a scientic system
which they aro introducing now," he
says, "and this includes a series of
wires and a thermometer, which warns
the orehardist of cold weather by ring
iug a bell at tho house and keeping
the ring up until the kettles of crude
oil have been lighted and the tempera
ture in the orchard raised above the
danger point. I expert to see the or
chards of southern Oregon placed in
a position whero the owners can vir
tually defv the frosts of spring by the
use of these kittles of petroleum."

; What Papers Say
DEATH ON THE BAIL.
(Oregon Journal.)
Railway tragedies like that near Eu
gene Sunday night are of the unusual
and not always avoidable. It is a char
acter of accident for . which the rail
road company is scarcely censurable. It
i the ghastly death roll incident to
accidents from spreading rails, inade
quate equipment -over crowded tracks,
and other preventable causes that ex
pose the railroads to criticism that is j
mostly deserved. The hapless victims,
of wrecks in this country in the year
l'loi; numb'-red lu.lils killed nnd !'7,
"UO injured. For the ten years ending
in llMtfl, the roll of killed and maimed
reached the appalling aggregate of fry
.134 killed and 03.1,070 injured. It is a
railroad death rate far exceeding that
of Kngland and other foreign countries.
To this enormous total, the spread
ing of railB is a large contributory
cause, nnd this leads a writer in thp
Scientific American tn1 point out that
the same old spike that was used in the
experimental stage of railroad construc
tion still does duty in binding the mils
to the ties. H is a wrought iron spike,
five-eighths of an' inch squaro, and five
and one-half inches long, with a project
ing head that clamps the rail when
driven into the tie. It was crude iu
the beginning, and is crude still. Its
original function was to hold the rail
for a six to 20-ton locomotive and light
equipment, but with no improvement
whatever it is depended upon, to stand
the strain of passing locomotives and
equipment beside which tho original
ones nre more toys. It was long ago
rejected in France and Kngland fur n
screw spike, for which the claim is
made that it has vastly reduced the
number of railroad tragedies incident to
spreading rails. That this simple driven
spike crude in the beginning and crud
er in comparison now? should be t he
only device standing between death and
the 707,000,000 passengers carried on
American roads iu tOOli is a seeming
miL'hty indictment of railroad brains
and engineering. Is it still used bo
cause like human life, it is cheap?

HIGH-GRADE TRAINING FOR
FIRST-CLASS POSITIONS
A few years ago the courses given in
the commercial colleges were very in
complete, each school vicing with the
other in advertising tlr shortest course.
This proved most unsatisfactory to
the business world, anil a more com
plete and thorough training wes do
inandiled. To meet this necessity tho schools
for business education havo strength
ened and extemleil their courses, nnd
the inquiry now is, when) can I secure
the best and not necessarily tho short

too good for our students oven if it
takes a little longer than formerly.
lJuring the recent financial disturb
ance many stenographers and office as
sistants were temporarily dispensed
with (those of least value) and wo are
glad to note that our former students

place.
To meet the growing exactions of
the business onminunity which wo servo,
to advance I lie highest welfare of our
students for nliiih wo labor and to ad
vance the best interests of our insti
tution, we have arranged courses of
training to meet the highest demands,
anil at the same tini" can be secured
ii. as short a time as skill, experience
and energy can give them.
To enable all to secure (ho best pos

for every earnest, enthusiastic student
to complete tho combined course, Com-
