On Reading Tln'i-inoinotors. j in an hour or so from 00 cents' worth
One reason why It has been errone-1 of mtrlul
ourIv claimed, locally, that there are Al",ther ' t!le elimale of
trt iM. nnH fiW-frpp nrc hard i
regions in the Rogue River Valley is
that many of the private y owned
thermometers have l.een Improperly ,
exposed. accordiiiK to J. Cecil Alter,
observer In the U. S. Weather Bureau, I
. ..,bi .,iv nf i,ni r,ii.
tlons, I
The claim of serious temperature i
ords obtained from the bureau's ther
mometers, exposed at many places In :
the valley in regulation shelters. The .
valley is rea'.ly quite uniformly fa- j
vorabe for fruit growing and for such i
frost-protection work as necessary,!
Mr. Alter states.
A thermometer exposed without a
shelter Indicates values too high In
the sunshine and too low at night.
Especially is this true on nights when
dew or frost is formed on the ther-
mometer. In these cases, it Is stated,
the temperature indicated may be
anywhere from 2 to 10 degrees too
low. The thermometer must bo kept
dry, and when one is spending a largo
Bum of money heating an orchard ono
wants to know the correct tempera
ture to guide him in his expenditures.
A small wooden shelter painted
white, with louvred or slatted sides
like a window shutter, Ic recommend
ed. It should have a bottom and a
double top wtih an air space between
the (wo roors. It should be about two
feet square and two feet high, though
for a single Instrument It may be i
smaller. It should stand about four
or five feet from the ground.
Such a shelter prevents ttio accum
ulation of moisture on thu thermome
ter under ordinary conditions, and al
lows free air circu'atlon, yet the In
strument Is always in the shade. Any
workman can construct such a shelter

Mrs. Itliikclcy's Statement.
To the Voters and Taxpayers of Jack
son County:
I find some opposition to my candi
dacy for the office of county treas
urer on account of my being a wom
an, one of my opponent's supporters
at the Llncolm day banquet, was
heard to make the remark that "he
didn't want any blank woman handl
ing the county funds". Of course, I
wouldn't want this gentleman to vote
for me no matter how competent I aiil
to fill the position.
But the reason for this article
Is to bring before the voters and tax
payers of Jackson County, a matter
which has escaped the notice of the
last two expert accountants who aud
ited the county treasurer's books and
any mention pf which fails to appear
ln their reports.
I do not wish these remarks to be
construed In any way as an attempt
! at "mud-sllnglng ' for I assure you
that such is not my intention, hut
Mr. Cronomlller, my honorable op

Co
ponent, In his announcement men
tions the fact that his work has al
ways given general satisfaction to the
public and has been highly compli
mented by soveral expert account
ants who have audited the county
records, perhaps lie, (Mr. Croncnilll

The bank should have paid Interest
on balances as shown on the ledger
but paid interest on the balances
shown on the'r statements.
The comparison shows that the
bank failed to pay interest on ap
proximately $35,000.00 for the nine
months shown above. Was this an
oversight on the part of the bank
and Mr. Cronemlller?
The law is very plain on the sub
ject of bank depositaries, and two
per rent Interest must be paid by the
hanks on all county funds deposited
therein, as shown fly the monthly
statements, showing daily balances
In the banks, see chapter 273, 1913
Session Laws of Oregon, amended In
1915.
It would seem that there Is due
and owinn; Jackson County approxi
mately $325.00 interest which the
bank failed to pay and Mr. Cronemil
ler as county treasurer failed to col
lect. There is no order of record from
the county court authorizing Mr.
Croneiiiiller to overlook this It!m of
Interest, and if there was, Mr. Croner
miller would not be justified in fail
ing to follow the statutes of Ore
gon, this should be a matter (or the
Jackson County Tax League to in
vestigate. The above facts and figures can be
verified by the records in the Coun
ty Treasurer's office.
