THE MEDFORD DAILY TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREO OX. SATURDAY, OCTOHRU 2, VM
E TO
RESCUE OF BABIES
WASHINGTON', Oct. 2. If the ha
bioH of tliis contry don't pet their
rights it wont be benuis-e they lack
friends among the ;,rown-iips. One
imortant university is to ndd n de
partment of chili) study to its courses
mid in connection with it everything
pertaining to the life of a child will he
collected nnd collated. Another in
Ftnnee is afforded by the American
Aradcmy of Medicire, which has ar
ranged for n conference of physic
ians, sociologists nnd educators, to
be held in New Hivcn, Conn., Nov. 11
nd 12, on the prevention of infant
mortality. At that meeting every as
pect of the problem, from the medical,
philanthrop:, ediun'i'ii.tU and msu
tutionnl points of iev will gone into
by specialists who are devoting their
lives to the study of the project.
According to export, the most im
portant problem in the connection
with infant mortality is feeding.
Time was when milk was milk, and
that was all there was to it. But that
was before some indiscreet scientist
put a drop of the lacteal fluid under
his microscope and then went ahead
and lot tli3 rest of the world know
the secret of what ho found there.
After that even the W brows .knew
that things are rarely what they seem.
They learned that skim milk not only
mascnea-les a cn-ninf but that nice,
innocent looking white milk might be
a whole storage van-house full of
germs.
Nowaday-: any city that lays any
claim to being civilised has a milk
commission, or a boaiu i.-f health that
attempts at least to legulate the
dairies of the community. '
One scientist recently took a cen
sus of the germs in one cubic centi
meter' less than a thimbleful of milk.
He found that there were fewer bugs
when the mercury was low, and that
great hordes were present at higher
temperatures. Li one cubic eenti-
peter of fresh milk ha counted 300
acteria. Twenty-four bonrs later,
when he examined this same milk,
which had in the meantime, been kept
at a temperature of 50 degrees, he
' found 30,000 bacteria. Another cu
bic centimeter of milk was kept for
24 hours at the temperature of the
room, and yielded 10,000,000 bacter
ia. Figure out how many thimbleful3
there are in a quart of milk, and an
idea may be gained as to the number
of germs ultimate consumer gets.
Several cities fix a standard of the
number of bacteria permissable in
milk; in New York, the milk commis
sioners who supervise the milk' in
tended for babies have placed the lim
it a't 10,000. .
TRUST BUSTING LAW
TO BE GIVEN TRIAL
EVANS
CREEK MAN
Louis C. Sivers, who lives up on
Evans creek near Woodville, has
on exhibition in the Exhibit building
some onions which were without
question a first-class article. They
were the product of his own propaga
tion after 12 yeaors of experiment.
Mr. Sivers rivals in this respect Bur-
bank, the wizard of the vegetable
field. Starting 12 years ago with a
Westerfi:!d procured from William
Henry M.iule, of Philadelphia, he has
crossed i. with tire perfect globe by
taking one onion of each variety and
planting them niteir.&tely in the rows
in the proi'.iieti-jn of seed. This with
the help of poior.i.ntkm by bees, has
in these years .so changed the original
thnt after 12 yeuvs Mr. Maule, the
noted seed man, pronounced the
onion entirely changed from the orig
inal purchased from him. Mr. Sivers
says this onion is purely an Oregon
production. He, of course, is cn
. thusiastic on the onion question, on
which subqject ho is, without doubt,
the best authority in the whole coun
try. He is known as the king among
onion growers. At the district fair
held in Grnnts Pass two years ago he
took the first prize and his onions
attracted much attention. Three of
them weihged four pounds nnd a half
and the quarter acre where they
were grown produced, on an aver
age, three of these onions to the foot.
In the quarter of an acre there is
12,000 feet. Averaging these onions
at one pound each there would be
3(3,000 pounds to the quarter of an
acre. As incredible ns this would
seem, the onions are to be seen nnd
therei s nbundnnt proof as, to the
yield and weight.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 Some
time after October 12, the Sherman
miti-trust law will put to its final test
before the supreme court of the Unit
ed States.
Decisions will be made at the
forthcoming term' of the highest
court in the famous "Tobacco Trust''
cases, involving the interpretation of
the mouoply busting statute. Pract
ically the life of that statute hangs
on the word of that court of last ap
peal. Whether that tribunal will con
strue the law broadlv, nnd stand by
the opinion rendered by Judge La
combe, of the circuit court for the.
southern district of New ork, bring
ing within its provisions "any con
tract or combination whose direct ef
fect is to prevent the free play of
competition and thus deprive (he
country of the services of any num
ber of independent dealers," or read
onlv the letter of the law, the decision
will have a far reaching effect.
The tobacco cases nre a prosecu
tion by the United States of the
Anierioan Tobnceo company. It in- j
volves the question of whether that
company and its related concerns are
combinations in restraint of trade,
and whether, under the Sherman law.
they should be put out of inter-state
trade nnd their intercorporate rela
tions terminated. If the supreme
court construes the statute as did the,
circuit court, the government will
have won a great victory, and, con
versely, if the tobacco company wins
its appeal, the government will hnv
lost a powerful weapon against the
"predatory combines."
The October terra of the supreme
court will have another epoch-making
New Cases.

We have three acres, just out

around it, with a new five-room
house, which we consider a bar
gain at
$2200
The property faces on two
streets and would subdivide nicely.
There is an electric motor and
pump which goes with the place,
and the well would supply water
for irrigating.
The owner has made the price
low in order to sell quickly, and
the property will be on the mar
ket but a short time at this price.

litigation before it. v The Standard
Oil dissolution case will probably
reach the court sometime during the
year. It is another of t ho trust-liust-ing
type.
The life of the Interstate Commerce
law, or the net to regulate commerce,
will lie with the court's decision in
the Southern Pacific ease. The di
rect question of the right of the In
terstate Commerce Commission to
regulate and fix railroad rates is in
volved in this ease, which was certi
fied to the supremo court by the cir
cuit in northern California. The
Southern Pacific, and the Oregon
and California railroad are arrayed
against the Interstate Cominerco
commission in this fight. The lower
court was divided on decision two
to one. It is thought ' probable that
the court may remand this enso, and
if so, the question of legality of the
Commission's power to fix rates will
rest in the decision on the Missouri
Ivivcr rate cases, recently . passed
upon adversely to the couimissiini,

The bitter litigation between the
Chicago ix Alton and thu Interstate
Commerce commission as to the pow
er of the latter to order a pro rata

likewise bo dicided by the court of
