"IMMUNITY FOR
THE GANG"
SUCH FOIL SLANDER IN THE
MAIL-TRIBUNE.
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

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

! 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

Fay Canon, aged 26 years, son of
Mayor W. 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

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

in any previous season. Superinten

tourists registered at park headquar
