J. P. DODCE, Secretary. BERT R. GREER, Chairman. New Head of State Experiment Force Oregon is to have a new state lead er of county agricultural agents. Paul V. Maris, an Oregon born and Oregon trained boy, now agricultural agent of Saline county. Missouri, has been appointed by the Agricultural College board of regents to succeed Prof. H. T. French, who resigned to accept a position in the Agricul tural College of Colorado. Mr. Maris was graduated from Pacific Univers ity and later from the College of Ag riculture of the University of Mis souri, where he specialized In dairy ing and rural economics. He then took advanced work In the Univers ity of Wisconsin. After completing his college train ing Mr. Maris returned to Oregon, where he served for more than two years as assistant dairy and food commissioner. He then went to Col trado as extension specialist In ani mal husbandry at the Colorado Agri cultural College. During this time he devoted considerable time to agri cultural Journalism, In which field he has had a successful experience. This selection was made after a long and careful investigation of men throughout the entire country In an effort made by Prof. Hetzel, exten sion director, to find the man best fitted to do the particular line of work required in Oregon. Mr. Maris fills the requirements to the satis faction of the college officers and is prepared by his training and experi ence to perform a valuable service to the state. Trainmen report quite a little snow on Siskiyou mountain. The first snow fell Monday but did not remain on the ground long. More fell Tuesday, and from now on a mantle of white will greet travelers on the Southern Pacific as they pass over the highest point on the S. P. coast line, the Sis kiyou summit. All restrictions on use of city wa ter for irrigation, which became nec essary during the dry summer and fall months, have been removed. Telephone 420-J for dry tier wood, $2. -tf Honesty is the best fire insurance j policy, but FIRE Insurance means more than honest INTENTIONS. Six out of every seven fire msurance companies organized In this country have failed or abandoned the business. To live and furnish real indemnity a company must have abundant RESOURCES to back up Its honest Intentions. An agent Is known by the Companies he keeps; a man who has a wide acquaintance in fire insurance companies said recently regard fng the Billings Agency:' "You have the finest bunch of companies I have ever seen in one office."

Stearns Of New YorK National Lecturer of the Anti Saloon League of America All Are Welcome' : : : : : Admission Free i it4i nit II 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Former Ashland Blacksmith Killed George C. Turpin, an itinerant blacksmith who conducted a Bhop in Ashland a number of years ago and has since been employed in shops in several other southern Oregon cities, was instantly killed last Tuesday af ternoon when struck by a Southern Pacific freight train. , The accident occurred a few miles north of Grants Pass. The special freight train left Grants Pass, being pulled by three engines over the heavy grades. The head engine was in charge of En gineer Fred L. Johnson of Roseburg, his fireman being Will J. Kanny, also cf Roseburg.' On rounding a curve a few miles out of the Pass the en gineer saw a man walking down the center of the t-acks, he then being about thirty-five yards In advance, according to the testimony brought cut at the coroner's, inquest. The whistle was promptly sounded, but the man paid no attention to It, and the whistle was fastened down and the brakes set. It was too late to stop the heavy train, however, and it rushed down upon the unfortunate man, who was then In the center of the tracks. By the time the train could be stopped the engine and fif teen cars had passed over him and the body was badly mangled, the head being crushed and every long lone In the body broken. Portions of the remains were scattered along the tracks for some distance, and it was evident that death came as soon as the engine hit him. The officials were at once notified and an investigation proved that the dead man was George C; Turpin. The coroner's Jury gave as their verdict that no one was responsible for the accident. Mr. Turpin was known to be very deaf, and for this reason did not heed the warning signals of the ap proaching train. Turpin left Grants Pass Tuesday forenoon afoot, going north. He had lately been at Med ford visiting a brother, leaving there last Thursday, though It was his an nounced Intention on leaving to go to Willow Springs to mine for the winter. He evidently changed this Intention, as he came on to Grants Pass, leaving there probably for Eu gene, where he has spent most of bis time, during the past two or three years. Turpin .was 51 years of age and was a native of Oregon, having been born In Polk county. He Is survived by three brothers, J. P. and R. N. Turpin of Medford and Frank Turpin of San Francisco. He also leaves a sister In California. Militia Officers Take Examination Private O. E. Diebert and Ser geant M.

Hearing Asked By Commission Statistics showing that the num ber of laborers killed or Injured while unloading logs from freight cars is far In excess of the casualties connected with any other hazardous occupation has led the state publlo service commission, upon Its own motion, to call a hearing at the court l house In Portland, Friday, December 10, at which representatives of prac tically every railroad in Oregon are expected to be present. It is proba ble that as a result of the hearing the roads will be ordered to equip their cars with safety appliances for vuloadlng logs. Portland Stork Market, Mommy, No vember 8. Cattle This morning's market opened with about 1,000 head In the pens. The market on prime light steers went 15 cents over last Mon day's top, making the top $7. Non descript steers of the dairy type are flooding all markets and it Is no wonder that beef of good quality and feeding command a premium. Cows are holding steady at $5.25 and all other lines respectively following this range. ' Hogs A new record has been made in the swine division. Seventy eight hundred head were unloaded lor today's trade. Hogs are showing some weakness, although the drop la prices was not as heavy as expected. Top hogs brought $6.40, a dime un der last week's close. Sheep Monday seems to be fast , losing Its popularity as a sheep mar ket day. Only 411 head were of fered. One load of choice wethers were sold at $6. Demand Is excellent for good lambs and yearlings. Good lambs will bring $7.15 to $7.25, ewea $5 to $5.50, yearlings $6 to $6.25, wethers $5.50 to $6.
