ANNOUNCE PLANS

(From Tuesday'! Dally)
Mayor C. E. Gates, of Medtord, on;
his arrival yesterday from a several I
days' absence In Portland looking;
over the political situation, said he!
would announce next Wednesday or
Thursday whether or not he would '
become a candidate for governor on:
the republican ticket. It Is probable
that his declson will be made known
at the banquet of the Jackson Coun
ty Game Protective association at
the Hotel Medford tomorrow night.
A significant feature of the pre
liminary campaign Is that the Port-
lund Oregonlan, which for several
weeks In Its write-up about the can
didates for governor already an
nounced, has avoided any reference
to Mayor Gates candidacy, led off Its
political story Sunday by referring
to that candidacy. -The Oregonlan

HULET M. ILLS
10 GIVE LECTURE
Hulet M. Wells, a well known Se
attle attorney, who recently returned
from an extensive trip through the
Volga region of famine-stricken Rus
sia, will deliver a lecture at the Con
gregational church Wednesday night,
March 1.
A local man who was born in Rus
sia makes the following statement:
"I have seen a good deal of poverty
in Russia, the most naked, bare pov
erty. I remember, for instance, the
good old Czarrlst times, when hun
dreds of "boclaks" (barefooted men")
used to sit around open fires on the
streets of Kiev or Odessa in the bit
terest winter cold, with next to noth
ing to protect their bodies and noth
ing to eat. 1 remember the thin,
pale faces of Russian peasant women
and children during the spring
months when their supply of broad
was generally exhausted and they
had to go half-starved. Those were
the good days of order and peace, but
what I hear abo.it the famine in the
Volga valley is enough to stagger the
Imagination even of a Russia."
Go and hear a man who has just
returned from the famine-stricken
land give a graphic picture of what
he saw.

January Report
Of Cow Testing
3. B. Blchan, tester for the Rogue
River Cow Testing association, has
made the following report:
Silky Lee of ABhburn, owned by
J. R. McCracken of Talent, is honor
purebred cow for the seventh con
secutive month. Her yield In Janu
ary was 911 pounds of milk and
60.12 pounds of butter fat.
F. Puhl had the honor high grade
cow of the association Star, a grade
Holsteln, who produced 1400 pounds
of milk containing 67.20 pounds of
butterfat.
This association still maintains the
lead over all others In the state for
highest average milk and butterfat
yield. It also has the greatest num
ber of 40-pound cows.
The following was taken from the
report of the extension work of the
state of Oregon:
The highest individual cow yield
t of butterfat was 81.69 pounds made
by a grade Jersey, "No. 20," owned
by Joe Donaldson of the Tillamook
association. Paul Fltzpatrick, also
of Tillamook, won second place with
yield of 76.9 pounds made by bis
Guernsey cow, "Jarilcee."
The average yield of. all associa
tion cows for the month Is 2.86
pounds of butterfat more than for
January 1921. This amounted to
8802 pounds for the 1334 cows on
test. At 30 cents pound this
equals more than (1100.
The Rogue River association for
the fifth consecutive month leads In
average production per cow for both
milk and butter fat.

MINERAL WATERS OCR
GREATEST RESOl'RCES
The use of mineral wuters at their
source, with their railioac.lvity at
its full, and with possibilities of var
ious applications, is rapidly becoming
a sepurate and fruitful brunch of
practical medicine. There has al
ways been a rush of humanity to
ward the supposed healing waters
of mineral springs. It is said that
all the roads of Franco lead to Nerts,
the great mineral spring resort in
southern France. Carlsbad, the
world's most famous health resort,
neatly packed away between the
green wooded hills of Bohemia, has
160,000 visitors overy year. For
more than five centuries I he healing
waters of tCarliliad have washed
away the ailments of heterogenous
and cosmopolitan millions.
There nre about 40 mineral springs
In tin vicinity of Ashland. Some of
these have been productive commer
cially for yearB and others aro Im
proved for bathing, for the estab
lishment of health resorts and for
medicinal purposes. Hut these val
uable resources of Ashland are not
used us much as they reserve to be.
The mineral spring waters of Ash
land are varied in composition and
ifHUltant dualities,, and their merits
are practically unknown to the out
side world. In fact, those who have
been born and reared near these
HprltiKH fall to appreciate to the full
est extent the wonderful asset nature
has put within their grasp.
There are three types of mineral
springs in Ashland: Llthia, sulphur
and soiln.
The lit tiia water hns an average
salinity of 8982 parts per million.
This Is about 30 per cent greater
than well known llthia waters from
other localities. The Stanlslawa
spring near Knrlsdorf, Galicln, has
bout the same amount of chlorine
and soilliim, but less lithium and
not so much carbonic acid.
Tho sulphur waters nre charged
chiefly with carbonic acid, sodium,
calcium, magnesium and silica, in ad
dition to tho characteristic sulphur,
which U present not only In the sul
phates, hut as hydrogen sulphur or
free sulphur or both, The sulphur
springs have an average salinity of
8.10 parts to the million.
Analysis made of the soda waters
here Is much like that of the Sprue
del waters of Carlsbad, Bohemia,
though the Ashland waters contain
more calcium and magnesium and
less sodium. The salinity of our
soda sprliiKs, 30.10 parts to the mil
lion, Is consldorubly greater than
that of the Carlsbad springs.
Both the soda and the llthia wa
ters, used internally, have medicinal
values. The sodium carbonate ap
pears as a normal constituent of
the blood, lymph and nearly all se
cretions of the mucous membrane.
The soda waters of Carlsbad are
highly recommended throughout all
of central Europe for treating acid i
dyspepsia, rheumatism, gout and di
abetes. Where II t It in appears in suf
ficient quantities it has a decided
therapeutic action. The sulphur
waters are well known for their use
in the treatment of skin diseases,
hyperaon.la of the liver and lu cat
arrhal conditions of the respiratory
organs.
