Purvis of th's city, who met his death re cently in California and who was buried in the Wagner Creek cemetery Aprf. 2S, have been received by rela tives in the city. An item in the Stockton Times reads as follows: "L. G. Purvis, lineman employed by the Sierra & San Francisco Power Company, was electrocuted at the new crematorium being erected by B. C. Wallace near Turner Stat'on this morning shortly after 10 o'cloc);. "Last evening while moving a con crete mixer into place one of the electric wires was struck and a trans former blown out. "This morning In company with two other linemen from Manteca, Purvis went out to the place to re pair the damage. "He climbed one of the electric poles and was busy repair'ng tho damage when the heavy voltage went through his body. Companions 'low ered his body to the ground and fel low workmen were surprised to see that he was still living. Dr. Goodale was hastily summoned from Manteca, and he started to revive the man with a small amount of oxygen which lie had brought with him Knowing that it would be insufficient to br'ng the man entirely back to life, he sent for another larger supply from the county hospital at French Camp. "Respiration began slightly and the eyes began to revive their gutter when the supp)y of oxygen gave out, before the additional supply could be secured. Slowly the man then re lapsed into death while the doctor and h's companions looked on hope lessly. "Purvis was about 24 years of age. Coroner Warren was summoned and took charge of 'the body." The acreage planted to staple gar den crops In this valley this year is more than double that of any prevl- ous year, accord'ng to estimate made, by persons who have been traveling j about the county a good deal during, the past, few days. Much yet re-1 mains to be planted, however, and it Is believed that the acreage, devoted to staple vegetaWes and kindred plans will be 200 per cent greater than ever before. Raymond West forced Bessie Bar- rlscale and Jack LivingRton to be catapulted into the depths of a 100,- 000-gaVon tank at Ince's plant the other day. West enjoyed the scene, but the others were noncommittal. Plant Now To Win County Fair Prizes Supervisor Peterson has Issued the following circular to the school chil dren of Jackson county regarding the prizes to be awarded at the county fair for agricultural displays: To Girls and Boys: In making preparation for the fairs of the coming season, we should keep in mind something more than the mere matter of making exhibits, something more than the winning of a prize. There are several points to keep In mind. The following ones are l'sted in what is considered the order of their Importance: The first, no doubt, should be given more con sideration than all the others com bined: 1, We should work to produce those things which will be of most use to our country. We know that every true American boy and girl wants to do his or her part at this time. There was never a greater opportunity to do patriotic service than that, which confronts us now. 2. We should bear In mind that If we produce the things which are needed, we shall find a ready market for them at good prices. But even if we produce only for our own home uise1, we are reducing our own home expenses and at the same time saving a certain amount of drain from the general stock, of supplies. 3. Anyone who produces some thing of real value is sure to gain knowledge, training and habits that will be of inestimable value to him all the rest of his life. 4. Those who do real service as producers will receive recognition as being persons who are not only good, but good for something. They them selves will have the satisfaction of Increased self-esteem. 5. Prizes will be awarded, each of which will be a recognition of worthy achievement, and many of the prizes will have considerable intrin sic value. The prize list for the juvenile de partment of the Jackson county fair for this year will probably be based largely on the fa'lowing items: 1. . Beans. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Potatoes. Corn. Tomatoe. Onions. Poultry raising. Raising of poultry feed. Pig raising. Cann'ing with special empha sis on team work. 10. Essays: a How I made my summer pay. b How T made my tomato patch pay. c Value of tomatoes as a food, d Value of onions as a food, e How I made my garden pay. f How I made my canning pay. 11. Best collection of recipes for ways of preparing and serving: a Potatoes. b Corn. c Beans. Each contestant will be required to certify that she has prepared each dish, giving the date and the mini ber of persons served., 12. Practical and useful sewing The above list is only tentativr Changes will lie made and 'items will be added. We want suggestions from anyone having practical Ideas. Boys and girls, now Is the time to get busy. Don't delay until It Is too late to be approved by staff officials or to make other preparations. Don't he a slacker. Act now. E. R. PETERSON, Superintendent Juvenile Department Jackson County Fair. DECIDE YOURSELF. The Opportunity Is Here, Racked By Ashland Testimony. Don't take our word for It. Don't depend on a stranger's state ment. Read Ashland endorsement. Read the statements of Ashland citizens. And decide for yourself. Here Is one case of It: John W. Wells, Hargadlne and Gresham streets, Ashland, says: "I don't hesitate to recommend Doan's Kidney Pills publicly for I have tak en this old, reliable medlcln9 on sev eral occasions when I have found that my kidneys haven't been acting as they should, and it has always done all that is claimed for it. Doan's Kidney Pills are a family medicine for kidney dlGorders in our home and they never fail to give good satisfac tion." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Wells had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.

Tuveiiier, Promulgating a Unique and Kntiivly Unprecedented I'Iihno of Geology and Physical Geogra phy. It Is well known that the earth harbors a quantity of moisture never varying In amount, in the slightest degree. Through the vicissitudes of atmospherical conditions the amount of moisture remains exactly the same. It Is also known that a vast area around the poles never experiences a temperature above freezing, and while Ice and snow evaporate slowly while in a solid condition, this evap oration is so small as to be almost in finitesimal, while there is an infini tude of snow falling on these areas, each year. This naturally causes In estimable millions of tons of moisture In these regions every year. The earth, not being exactly round, another fact well know to scientists, the tremendous weight thus accumu lated at the poles must in time have some effect. If it did not the suppiy of moisture would gradually collect at these points and the rest of the world would become practically a desert. When this congealed moisture at tains a certain weight, the earth gets out of proportion, tilts, to one side, and finaliy turns over. Not on Its regular axis, but turnB so that the equator comes thousands of miles nearer the place where the poles were. This is in a measure proved by the following facts: At a recent date, in Siberia, the body of a mammoth was found, the flesh still In a state of preservation, kept so on account of the extremely cold temperatures pre vailing in these regions. The mam moth is well known to be a tropical animal, and it is impossible that this animal should have strayed this far north and frozen to death. If it had. the flesh would not be in so complete a state of preservation as It was. A proof that the mammoth had not strayed north lies in the fact that there was undigested food found In the stomach; this, of course, would not have been the case had the ani mal died a death from starvation. These facts Indicate that the mam moth was carried with the earth Into such a cold atmosphere that it imme diately froze to death and remained frozen through the countless years that have elapsed since the mammoth has been extinct. (This case is not an Isolated one, by any means.) Another wel known fact is that there are unmistakable traces of gla clers as far south as Arizona, and even in the tropics In Borne countries It is also known that the earth Is be. coming slowly cooler, as is the case with all the planets. Therefore if the earth now has a lower tempera ture than ever before, how could these glaciers have existed this far smith unless there had been a radical change In the relative positions of these areas, with that of the poles? Tly scientific figuring it Is esti mated that It will probably be thou sands of years until the recurrence of this phenomena.

So grave will lie the need for labor that in eastern Oregon many towns are arranging to close all stores for five days every week during the har vest season, so that every available man and boy can go Into the fields, all trading to be confined to two days In the week.
