Every motoriBt should know that unless he pays particular attention to the way he stores his car or the man ner in which he uses it during the winter monttiB, he will Incur a large repair expense bill. The manufacturers of Diamond tires wish to make a few recommend ations to motorists, believing that If they know how to properly take care of the car and its equipment they will pet better service and satisfaction from the Diamond products which they are UBlng. Those motoriBts who do not drive their cars during the winter months should be very careful to store thej car properly. The wheels should be jacked up and blocks set under the exlea to prevent the car from slip ping. When jacked up the tires thould be removed, washed carefully, iind if the tread or side walls are cut they should be repaired before stor ing. The winter months offer an ex cellent opportunity to the motorist to pet his car in good shape for the com ing season. If the tires are In first-class condi tion they should be wrapped in dark paper, which will prevent light from getting to them, and then stored where there is no danger of freezing. Keat, light and cold are all enemies of rubber, and the motorist who does not take this precaution with his tire equipment will find that his tires have deteriorated during the winter months. The car should be gone over care fully and cleaned, grease taken out of the gears, and they should be re packed and special care taken to drain the radiator. If this Is not done there will be danger of freezing. Leave the pet cocks under the radi ator and engine open. Another thing which you may not remember to do Is to put up the top. It It remains down during the entire vlnter It will Bet In creases, and if It is stretched tight It will keep In good Ehape. With the aid of these few sugges tions you will be able to keep your car in first-claBS shape through the vlnter months, so that It will be in good serviceable shape when warm tprlng days dry up the roads and you re ready to use your automobile gain. A stitch in time now will save iol!ars next spring. Famous Portlander Sends His Regards The publicity department has mailed a copy of the glass of water booklet to the editor of nearly every newspaper and periodical published in Oregon. Among those to whom looklets were sent was Philip S. Pates, publisher of the Pacific North west, a farm journal. Most every one in Oregon knows "Mil" Bates, for he has been actively Interested in many movements for the develop ment of the state. Good roads are among his hobbies and he has done as much as any one in Oregon to stimulate public Interest in the movement for better and more per manent highways for the state. "Phil"is famous for his personally conducted tours of beautiful Oregon girls over the United States. Every year he takes a bunch of prize win ners in his subscription contests across the continent and gives them the time of their lives visiting places (f interest and meeting the presi dent, governors of states and other dignitaries in high office. Big east ern dailies have given front page space to pictures and Btorles of "Phil" and his bunch of American beauties from Oregon, and wherever they go they get into the limelight of publicity. These trips have given Oregon much desirable 'advertising, and, incidentally, the. Pacific North west and its enterprising publisher have come In for their share. Trust Philip for that. Mr. Bates Is a good judge of adver tising and advertising methods, therefore the following letter from him was gratifying to the publicity department: . "Dear Sir: Some time ago I re ceived your communication in refer ence to the exploitation of your min eral springs and your glass of water, which was exceptionally refreshing. "I have always been an admirer of your methods. You get results and Ashland Is to be complimented upon securing your services, and have already received sufficient fa vorable publicity to warrant their Tensioning you for life. "I hope you have a nice turkey for Thanksgiving and something beside a lump of coal and a red apple in your stocking, Christmas. "Yours sincerely, "THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, "By Philip Bates, Publisher." Johnson the jeweler tor tin watch vork.

Thbmaa of Tal ent, one of the prime movers in the securing of Irrigation fer the valley, explained the district plan which wlfl be used as a means for securing Irri gation in the upper valley, and re ported on progress made. Briefly, the district plan -as ex plained by Mr. Thomas is as follows: Under a recently enacted law, when a majority of the landowners in a section which it is proposed to in clude in a district, sign petitions ask ing for the establishment of a district, an election Is called at which all of the landowners In the district vote yes or no on the plan and elect a board of directors. The board of di rectors then obtain and prepare defi nite statements of the water sources ind costs of bringing the water to the land, and another election is held an the proposition finally accepted cr rejected. These two elections give the landowners two chances to reject the plan. Then all owners of land which Is timbered, hilly or in any way unsuitable for irrigation, may appear tefore the county court and the court 111 decide whether or not the land shall be included in the district and assessed for part of the cost of the establishment , of the system or thrown out wholly or In part. Thus no land which will not be benefited by .Irrigation is required to help pay for the system. Finally, if the elec tions both result favorably to the plan, bonds are issued to cover the cost of Installing the system and the cost assessed in. taxes against the land benefited. Mr. Thomas stated that the only apparent drawback was the fact that if water would benefit a man's land he had to take it if the majority willed whether he -wanted to enjoy the benefits or not. The district which Is being formed In the south end of the valley has its rorth line on the Phonlx ditch from Bear creek almost to Ross Lane, ex tends east of Bear creek to the hills, and south of Ashland to Dunn's ranch. All land already under irri gation Is of course excepted from the district. Approximately 20,000 acres are Included In the proposed district. Enough names have been secured and the petitions will be filed this week, according to Mr. Thomas. This district Is extremely fortunate in that the state engineer has been secured to make a complete survey of the water resources and possible plans for Irrigation, and Is intact already generally well along with the most complete kind of a survey. i"No possible source which has been sug gested has been overlooked and the landowners are assured of an abso lutely unbiased and complete basis for working out the system. In many parts of Oregon the district plan has failed because biased engineers were employed, and the willingness of the state engineers of the reclamation service to make the valley survey not only does away with a big expense which might otherwise result, but as sures the valley of paramount ac curacy and reliability. Mr. Thomas informed the Commercial Club that the government report would be oom- I leted about the first of March and the election of directors would then be held. o. Mr. Thomas stated that the past two dry years had convinced the farmers of the imperative need of ir rigation and practically all were en thusiastically in favor of the plan. 1 ' ' f ft mmitiitniininiHiiHim t .

I High Compliment Jackson Station "I think you already have the best collection of pear species and varie ties in the world," writes Dr. David Fairchild, of the United States Of fice of Plant Introduction, to Dean Cordley, director of the O. A. C. ex periment station, after a visit at the Jackson county experiment Btatlon near Talent. "The station was in teresting to me because it illustrates what I have long maintained, that the small field station is a peculiarly efficient method of agricultural re search. The directness of Mr. Reim er's Investigation of the pear blight question, and the large collection of pyrus that he has brought together, are both matters of special Interest." A wandering pianist of extraordi nary ability along ragtime lines was in town last week and entertained a big crowd In Grleve's confectionery one evening, being assisted In a small degree by local musical talent. This musician Is a yearly visitor in A'sh land and is en route from Portland to the sunny south, where the pickings are better in the winter time. '.

He seemed to feel the necessity of re turning in time for the game with Medford, but at the time of this writ ing he had not arrived. He said he would argue it out with his father. . ' Robert Keller returned from the exposition last week. Professor Ruch caaually informed the biology class the other day that from then on they would have to take longer lessons. Of course this was greeted with loud applause. The last specimen which was used was the starfish. One of the features of the work was to draw the whole ani mal. Some of the drawings were really beautiful to behold. For in stance, one Illustrious lad drew one vhich looked like a Bide view of a Ferris wheel made of structural steel, the rim of which had been knocked off. Coach Hutchinson has been get ting all the boys In high school who are able to carry a suit out to scrim mage with the huskies. He lines up cne team and wears it out, then calls ftor another. This is very exhilerat- lng. The reporter had a try at it last week, but someone sneaked up behind him and knocked the wind cut of him, which nearly spoiled his evening. The anniversary play is scheduled for next Friday night. The members of the cast are practicing night and day. "The Rose o' Plymouth Town" is. a very pretty little story of New England life, and will no doubt be worth attending. The art class worked hard all last week on posters for the Thanksgiv ing game with Medford, and some have been produced which would rival even B. Klum's art shop. Some cf these are real works of art and vill be worth noticing as examples of what some of the "kids" can do. Glenny Hale, son of our janitor, who was badly injured some time ago by the explosion of a percussion cap, Is much better now. His hand was badly torn and for a while it was thought that his arm would have to be amputated, but now it is be lieved It will be saved, although it will be deformed. The ckemlstry class was the cause of some dire thoughts about the do mestic science class Thursday morn ing. The students thought that the domestic science people were cooking eggs secured at the ice plant, and were getting ready to go up and cap ture and confiscate those eggs when someone discovered that the odor came from the chemistry laboratory. As they feared to encounter Profes sor Ruch; this citadel was not at tacked. The source of the smell was the hydrosulphurlc acid with which the class was working. In the course cf the experiment some sulphur wa ter was manufactured which would cure a man of ail bis ills in a very few minutes. The.' class could sup ply the city with enough of It in a few minutes to laBt them several years. There were three rallies during the latter part of the week. A short one was held Thursday noon in the assembly as a sort of starter. Then' in the evening a real yell rally was held at the grounis. Friday even ing Yell Leader Abbott gave the stu dents lessons In th,e art of the "ser pentine" and some really wonderful progress was made. Every one Is a "pastmaster" at the art now.
