THIS COMES FROM MEDFORD TOO The Mail-Tribune Lays Itself Wide Ojen to the Charge of "Criminal Libel" Against the Dignity of the State. THE PACIFIC DAIRY SHOW. First Show at Union Stork Yards, Portland, to Be Held Nov. 18-23. The Undesirables. Pacific Homestead: Tba United States Department of Agriculture has taken steps to prevent the Mediter ranean fruit fly obtaining a hold In any part of the United States. Its latest move in this respect is to quar antine the country against the intro udction of certain fruits, seeds, veg etables and other plant products grown in the territory of Hawaii, where the pest now exists to a great extent. The quarantine order was issued on September IS and is still in effect and will probably remain so for some months. Many foreign lnBect pects are cost ing the United States billions of dol lars annually, and congress passed a strict plant quarantine law at its last session which will be of considerable aid in keeping out the undesirable bugs in future. From this time forth all plants brought to America, ac companied by unknown or dangerous insect pests, will be placed in quar antine just as other immigrants, un til the pests have been slaughtered. Ordinarily the United States returns undesirable immiganrts of the hu man family to their homes, but with the insect immigrants it will be dif ferent. They will be slaughtered by the wholesale. When the plants have been declared healthy and rid of all undesirables after serving the prop er time in quarantine, they will be permitted to nter the United States and become part and parcel of our plant citizens. This country has had enough out side pests of this sort and hereafter it will be mighty difficult for any new ones to find easy living among our fields and forests and orchards and gardens. The San Jose scale has spread trouble all over the continent from the Taclflc to the Atlantic. The cod ling moth is another mighty expens ive winged creature; and there is the gypsy moth, the boll weevil, the Ar gentine ant, the Hessian fly, the brown-tail moth, and others really too numerous to mention. The codling moth occasions a loss, in cost of sparying trees and injury to fruit, of $16,000,000 a year; the San Jose scale, similarly in loss of product and cost of treatment of the trees, $10,000,000; tne Hessian fly, the most important enemy of wheat. probably causes an annual loss of $50,000,000, and in some years this loss has reached the enormous total of $1000,000,000. The cost to this country of the cotton boll weevil amounts to about $25,000,000 a year. Horrors! Horrors! The Mail Tribune, full of peace and virtue the backer of TouVelle for county judge; he who is making a gumshoe campaign without slinging mud has fallen. Possibly Putnam was out of town when it happened, for cer tainly he never would have permit ted such vile slander criminal libel, if you please to have appeared in the Mail-Tribune. This is what it said: "Immunity for gang is giv en ," and how it happened that such foul slander slipped into that pious, metropolitan periodical is be yond comprehension. "Immunity for GANG is given." Whe-oh! Some body gram Put for criminal libel, for he printed it in big headline tyjie and published 'it to the world, "all against the peace and dignity of the stat',." TouVelle, Put ought to go to jail or it, and as you already have your hand iu, we sugg?st that you s V2ar to the complaint. He sure to i take it CRIMINAL libel, for then if you lose the COUNTY COURT will have to pay the costs. Don't forget t&e CRIMINAL, or too COSTS, for Put is as slippery aa an eel and may wig gle out. If you mako it CRIMINAL LIBEL and he does, what's the old dif? Jackson county collects some quarter-million dollars each year in taxes and she wi'l have plenty of coin she will have to pay tne bill. Sick 'em, Brother TOWOEYVELLE! Go after him; get his goat. Let us suggest: If it doesn't look strong enough the way he printed it, just take the words "Immunity for the gang" and place them in that other article printed in the same is sue headed, "Listen to the Truth." For instance: Where you say, in your "Listen to the Truth" tale, "I pledge .myself to give the people of Jackson county a business adminis tration," Btrike out all that part of the sentence after the words "I pledge myself," and add in their stead, "Immunity for the gang." That will make it good, strong "criminal libel" against the peace and dignity of the state, and you may be able to grab Put; if you fail, why, the county will have to pay the costs. Anyhow, what's the dif? Let 'er go. Put Has certainly strained the "dig nity," etc. The first show of the Pacific In ternational Dairy Show Association will be held in the Union Stock Yards, North Portland, November 18 to 23.

At the dairy show only registered cattle will be allowed to compete for prizes, but grades or pure bloods can be included in the sale that is to be held in connection. CONCERNING MILLAGE TAX. Dr. Rebec Tells Why Voters Should Favor It. To the Editor of the Ashland Tid ings: May I use the columns of your pa per for a word on the so-called mill age tax bill in support of the state university and agricultural college? The friends of education throughout the state are anxious that the peo ple of Jackson county should not, through ' lack of information or awakened interest, fail, as regards this measure, of tallying up to their full record of general repressive ness. Perhaps, firEt of all, ifshnild be stated again and again that tais bill means no increase of financial bur dens to the taxpayer, the statement in the negative argument iu ilio Vot- ! srs' Pamphlet to the contrary not withstanding. The sole gain io tie schools involved will be in an alili'ty to lay stable lines of policy and an escape from being tossed every two year3 into the legislative arena, and there made the victims of partisan schemes and local quarrelc and log rollings. The point, however,- which I wish now especially to press is this: That through this measure the people of CONTROL ANY ONE? AN ARRIVAL EXTRAORDINARY Prof. C. Vance (direct from Eu rope), the world's most celebrated palmist, astrologist and clairvoyant, has arrived in this city and has opened offices in the Columbia Ho tel, in the Enders' Block, on East Main Street, opposite the Elks hall, room 1, where he can be consulted on all the affairs of life. Prof. Vance has no equal in the profes sion. He stands alone, the prince of clairvoyants, and is recognized by the press and public as the greatest master of the science of palmistry and astrology the world has ever produced. He guarantees to reveal every incident of your life, tell when, whom and where you will marry, tell you just what you are fitted for and how to obtain money you are in. need of. The happiness of your future life may depend upon the right solu tion and proper advice. The profes sor makes no mistakes, and all his predictions are true, and he may be relied upon. You may wish to know if it is advisable to make a change in business, in love and in marriage. WHOM SHALL I MAURY? HOW OFTEN SHALL I MARRY? SHALL I EVER BE DIVORCED?

H. Canon of Medford, em ployed by the Clark-Henery Con struction Company at Silverton, near Salem, was injured by an explosion of a light Friday afternoon at about 4 o'clock. Mayor Canon, in re sponse to a telegram, left on No. 16 for his son's side. The exact nature of the accident is not known by friends in this city. According to the meager details ob tainable, Canon was preparing to light the light, which is supposed to have been on an auto or bicycle, when it exploded, striking him in the face. The chief danger lies In the possible loss of eyesight, which the telephone message stated was not dangerous. Boys are believed to have tampered with the light before the injured man tried to light it. It was the intention of Mayor Canon when he left Medford Friday night to take Fay to a Portland hos pital for treatment at once. Canon was well known in this city, where he has many friends thermore, the board will, as has been urged, for 'nstance, by the late K. S. Miller, engage as secretary, or some other capacity, an expert who will represent not one institution, or one set of educational interests, but the educational good of the state gener ally, and who, keeping in touch with success of your life.

Jack London, when on a recent visit to New York, was introduced to musician in one of the popular Broadway cafes. "I am a musician in a Bmall way," said London. "My musical talent was once the means of saving my life." The musician was at once very much interested. "How was that?" he asked. "There was a great flood In the town of my boyhood," explained Lon don. "When ten water struck our house my father got on a bed and floated with the stream until he was rescued." "And you?" queried tho musician "Well," smiled London, "I accom panied him on the piano."
