Receipts From 12 Acre In Jackson
County Were $8000.
John O. Gore, who lives a few mile
outh of Medford, during the past year
demonstrated that the results of rais
ins fruit on a small scale are more
than satisfactory, says the Jockson
vllln Times.
Mr. Gore has 13 acres plnnted in
pear and apple trees, the former pre
dominating in the ratio of about two
to one. About a thousand of them
bore last year and his receipts from
the sale of their fruit was about
I9000, n very nice sum to take off so
small nn area of land.
This seems to be a strong argu
ment In favor of cutting Rogue River
valley into orchards of the size that
can be handled In a thorough, syste
matic manner, by the proprietor him
self, with the assistance of a few em
ployes. Small farms as well as orchards,
are much the more preferable in dif
ferent ways. In that they permit of
the making of more homes, provide
more employment and consequently
make u larger population.

EXTERNAL EVIDENCE OFINTERHAL POISON
l Whenever a sore or ulcer refuses to heal, it Is a sure sign of a diseased
condition of the blood. The sore itself is simply an outside evidence ol
some internal poison, and the only way to cure it is to remove the deep
underlying cause. Sores and Ulcers originate usually from a retention in
the system of bodily waste matters and impurities. These should pass off
through the naturnl avenues of waste, but because of a sluggish condition oi
the different members they are retained in the system to be taken up by the
blood. This vital fluid soon becomes unhealthy or diseased, and the
Blcin gives way in some weak place and a Sore or Ulcer is formed. The con
stant drainage of impurities through a sore causes it to fester, grow red and
inflamed and cat deeper into the surrounding fli-Mi, and often there is severe
pain and some discharge. S. S. S. is the remedy for Sores and Ulcers.
It is nature's blood purifier, made entirely
of vegetable matter, known to be specifics
for all blood diseases and disorders. S. S. S.
goes down to the very bottom of the
trouble, and removes the poison and im
pure matter, so that the sore is no longer
fed with imparities, but is nourished and
rlerinfted with a stream nf liAaHhw rir.U
Mood. Then the place begins to heal, new flesh is formed, the inflamma
tion subsides, and when S. S. S. has thoroughly cleansed the circulation the
place heals permanently. Special book on Sores and Ulcers and any medical
advice desired will be sent free to all who write.

THE FAIR STORE
PENDLETON, OREGON
Here If an Illuminating little' tale
concerning our government In July
last there wan a wreck on the Great
Northern railroad near Diamond
lake. In the state of Washington, that
cost six lives, says Rldgeway's Maga
zine. Exposed to death in the wreck
were two railway mall clerks, William
Donaghy and P. Vanllppoley by name.
Various versions, official and other
wise, were given as to the cause of
the accident, and finally the mail
clerks wrote letters to Spokane news
papers telling what they knew about
it.
Donaghy In his letter had the te
merity to tackle James J. Hill, presi
dent of the Great Northern railroad.
He declares that the roadbed was de
fective, that trains were run at dan
gerously high speed, and that upon
no system over which he had run In
a lifetime devoted to railway and
railway mall service had he seen life
held so cheap. Here Is a fragment
of Ponaghy's letter that is literary:
"Then why this suicidal speed? Be
cause the schedule calls for it, and en
Klne drivers are expected to make
It. Not only are they expected to
make It, but they are continually and
eternally pounded on the back until
they do make it or go in the ditch.
"Occasionally an engine driver,
through regard for his own and other
human lives, refuses to take such des
perate chances. What Is the result?
He Is called up "on the carpet' and
not very politely Informed that unless
he can make the time a man will he
found who will. The man has spent
the best years of his life working up
to a position which enables him to
begin to clothe and feed his family,
and .?atinot afford to begin life anew.
Ho become desperate. He says to
himself, 'I will make It this time or
die trylnir.' He trie and his last
run, the fireman's last run, the pos
tal clerk's lust run, the messenger's
last run, and. Incidentally, the last
run of a few passengers ends In Dia
mond like."
For thus speaking their minds the
two postal employes were promptly
fined $30 apiece and each was sus
pended from his run for 10 days by
the great government of the United
State, and that no other postal em
ployes should ever fall Into their dis
graceful error, W. S. Shallcnberger.
second assistant postmaster general,
IwH the following muzzling order:
'It Is deemed essential to tile prop
er administration of public business
that officers and employes of this of
fice shall maintain respectful official
relations with railroad companies and
carrying companies, us well as with
their superior officers. Hallway pos
tal clerks must not engage In contro
versies villi or criticisms of railroad
officials involving the administration
of the postal service by furnishing
It: formation to the newspapers or
puWkly cIIhcussIiib; or denouncing the
ails or omissions of such officials as
affecting the postal service. Clerks
violating this instruction will be sub
Jet to discipline and possible remov
al from the service.
"All Information, criticism or com
plaint which clerks or officials can
give from personal knowledge or ob
tain from credible sources looking to
the betterment of the postal service
anil the comfort and safety of tholr
pontons while officially employed,
should be forwarded through their
superior officers In order that prompt
action may be taken."
This odious order is still operative,
and the fact that an anonymous pro
test from a party of mall clerks comes
to Rldgeway's shows how badly bull
dozed are the men affected by It.
That they feared to sign their names
to the communication Is pitiable.
Peculiarly exposed to the villain
ously bad management of American
railroad are the railway mall clerks.
Their cars are nearly always carried
near the engines, and there Is scarcely
a mall train wreck In which one or
more of them Is not killed or maimed.
Before the Phallenberger ukase was
Issued they were the only men In the
train crews with souls free from con
trol, but now they, too, are Ironed
and the public may only get their
testimony through the censors at
Washington.
Mr. Shallenberger may be a pure,
kindly soul, untouched by the Influ
ence of the railroads, but It would be
interesting to know. His sense of
humor Is surely deficient. Can you
hear a mangled postal clerk say to
a railway official, "Please, kind air,
It was good of you to kill me, but
won't you notify my wife?" or,
"Please, good sir, when you get time
won't you lift your box car off me
and pull your coupling pin out of
my chest?'1
Mollere, Scott nd Homer,
"As Mollere never had the heart to
draw a jealous wouiau among all hit
pictures of men who knew, like him
self, the torments of jealousy, so tscott
never bad the heart, to draw a young
and beautiful woman who Is wicked,"
writes Andrew Lang. "This ancient
familiar source of poignant Interest be
passes by, out of bis great chivalry.
There was nothing to prevent him from
writing a romance on the passionate,
wretched tale of the once beautiful
Ulrica In Ivanboe a fair traitress
driven on the winds of revenge, treach
ery and parricide. Here was a theme
for a 'realistic' novel of England after
the conquest, but Scott sketches It
lightly as a Thyestean horror In the
background. In his work such a piece
of 'realism' stands alone, like the story
of Phoenix in Homer's work (In the
ninth book of the Iliad'). Both artists.
Scott and Homer, had a sense of rever
ence for human things. They did not
lack the Imagination necessary for the
portrayal of the evil and terrible, but
they did not seek success In that popu
lar region."
Hazier d Lewes.
Here Is an anecdote once related by
Herbert Spencer who, by the way,
was rather heavy In hand when be
undertook to play story teller. Apropos
of Huxley's humor be described a din
ner of distinguished authors:
Over their cigarettes they fell to dis
cussing their various methods of com
mencing to write. One said be wrote
and wrote, tore up, then wrote again,
and so on.
George Lewes, who was present,
looked surprised, and then cried out:
"Ob, I'm not like that! I commence
to write at once, directly the pen 1b In
my hand. In fact, I boll at a low tem
perature." "Indeed," cut In Mr. Huxley, "that
Is very Interesting, for, as you know,
to boil at a low temperature Implies a
vacuum In the upper region."
Lewes himself was the first to lead
the shout of laughter which of course
greeted this clever repartee.

The Trap Shot.
Trap shooting has made America a

country's call to arms. Oun clubs are
really the outcome of the abundance
of live game In America. The average
business man loves to tread the woodj
m search of live game, but usually his
time to go on these bunting trips is
limited to perhaps once a year, and
during the Interval he has lost his
"shooting eye." He needed practice to
keep his eye keyed up properly, and

Dlulpated Element.
In the disintegration of radium by
the giving off of helium the amount of
energy set free Is 1,000,000,000 great
calorics for one gram of radium. Now
to reconstruct the dissipated elements
would require as much energy as was
lost In their dissipation, and this ex
plains the hbpelessneBS of their synthe
sis, as no such amount of energy can
be employed. How were these ele
ments first constructed? That Is a
question for the students. A German
physicist, W. Melgcn, suggests that the
dissipation of elements Is an actually
Irreversible process, like the dissipation
