Josephine county fair waa allowed to lapse In 1115; this kelnf thought the , best plan by those la the management, the fair board, because of the other ex- positions demanding the time and the available funds of the county. Considerable expense wts attached to the maintenance of the exhibit at tie Panama-Paciflo exposition at San Francisco, and a showing of quality was made at the Portland Land Products show. . These would hare divided the energy and the finances to such a degree that the local fair would undoubtedly have Buffered. There Is double reason, therefore, why work should be commenced early fa the season, in preparation for the 1916 county fair. It would be a real misfortune If by any chance It should not be staged in proper manner this fall, and the Intent of all Interested seems to be to hare a fair that will eclipse all former efforts. To make the' county fair the un qualified success that it can be in a county so rich in its varied resources as Josephine requires the co-operation of all the people. The fair board itself can not make a fair un less the citizens back up the efforts of the board. Every farmer, fruit (rower, stockman and lumberman should j keep the annual fair in his mind's eye, and do something to ward Its success. The present season Is going to witness the greatest advance in ma terial progress that southern Oregon has ever seen. Thousands of visitors will be attracted to Grants Pass as a center during the coming summer and fall, and the county fair will be the place to assemble samples of our products and resources for those who come at that time. The grange ex hibits at the fairs of the past have always been among the most attrac tive features of the exposition, and It is hoped that every grange in the county will be represented this year. HOGS, COWS, AND BEETS. Hog prices are again reaching up ward by big jumps, a natural condi tion following the rushing to market of everything that was big enough to grunt during the early autumn months. The northwest has been pretty well depopulated of Its avail able swine supply, and it is predicted that the price will keep on an up ward trend for months to come. With tho coming of a beet Bugar factory to southern Oregon, the hog and the dairy , business should be increased many fold, and now is a good time to get ready. It 5,000 acres of beets are to be planted in the valley, it will require more than a few head of stock to consume the pulp after the sugar maker is through with it. BULLETIN ON MINERALS. A bulletin that Is intended to name and describe practically all the min erals of Oregon, with as many as possible of the occurrences of each, 'i now in the hands of the state Printer and will shortly be lsBiied toy tie state university. The author is r'rahaui J. Mitchell, assistant pro fessor of geology in the university, (i .id the assembling of the material has required a year, In addition to several prolonged trips. The bulletiu will describe S9 min erals, of which Mr. Mitchell says about 22 hate a present commercial value. A ninetieth mineral has just been identified at the university, too late to get a place in the bulletiu. It is vlvlanite, and the specimen was sent from Multnomah county. For years inquiries from mining men, prospectors, and landowners with deposits on their property that they could not identify have been coming steadily to the university de partment of geology, and these let ters provided the idea of a bulletin that should cover the mineral re sources of the state in full. L OF ALLIES IN SESSION London, Jan. 19. -When the war council of the allies . unexpectedly met today, the air was full of rumors of Important developments in the Balkans. ; ; ; .v , ! c... Before the session, an official state ment discredited the German report, however, that the allies had sent an ultimatum to Greece demanding Im mediate withdrawal of the diplomats of the central powers. The announce ment said that the report was "be lieved" to be untrue. . At the. same time, reports from Rotterdam and from German cities said a revolutionary movement Is afoot in Greec to establish a republic. According to the stories, former Premier Venixelos would head the new regime; and King Constantino was said to be in danger of being shorn of his power at an early mo ment From several sources, came reports, too, of various landings of allied forces in Greece, together with stories indicating the possibility that the attack of the central powers on Salonlkl is about to begin. The war council was summoned suddenly, and the first intimation that it had been called came with the arrival of Premier Brland of France. It was Indicated that mat ters of the greatest political and military importance were to be dis cussed, particularly as there had been no session since the December meeting in Paris, when it was de cided to continue the Balkan cam paign and to land more troops at Salonlkl. Inasmuch as the Salonlkl drive apparently looms nearer and the Grecian situation is troubled, and in view of Montenegro's withdrawal from the fighting, the situation Is such that the session may be fraught with especial importance. The Athens' censor bas hardly passed any dispatches for three days. This fact is regarded as omlnouB here, in view of reports of a possible revolution headed by former Premier Venlzelos, coupled with a doubt that King Constantino could control the Greek army in a crisis. The censor, however, passed a dis patch to the Daily News, to end "dan gerous rumors" saying that Greece Is about to declare martial law. It had been reported recently that the Venlzelos party might refuse to accept the results of the recent elec tion, in which they did not partld pate, thus precipitating a crisis when parliament meets Monday. Coffee It's easy to spoil good coffee in the grinding. If it's uneven, if there's chaff in it, it may be bitterish, muddy, lifeless. Schilling's Best is first cracked and freed of bit terish chaff ; then cut into even bits and the fine coffee-dust blown-out. . Of course, it must then be sealed at once in air tight tins to hold-in all its rich, fine flavor for you. Even grinding Is economy every bit helps flavor the cup. Schilling's Best WAR CQUNC COXFUCTIXO REPORTS ON" CAVCASCS CAMPAKiX Constantinople, Jan. 19. Tho Rus sian offensive in tho Caucasus has been halted by Turkish reinforce ments, said the war office today, claiming that Slav attacks had been repulsed with heavy enemy losses. "The general situation is entirely favoroible, despite an eight-day offen sive by superior Russian forces." Pctrograd, Jan. 19. Official de nial that the Russians bad been de feated in the Caucasus and in Persia was made by the war office today. "Contrary to reports," said the statement, "our new offensive on both fronts is developing favorable. We have suffered only small losses and have made heavy captures. We have annihilated whole regiments." CALIFORNIA WARDENS MAKE ArrEAL FOR GAME Redding, Cal., Jan. 19. Owing to the unprecedented snow storms in the mountains, a large number of quail and deer are stranded In the northern valleys and along the water way. . Appeals have been made by the local game wardens to persons who live in the snow-bound districts to give food to the game. It Is neces sary, the warden pointed oat, to feed the deer and quail at once to prevent heavy lost among them. BOTTLING AN EGO. Easy Trick That Makes Plain Principles of Physios. If you place an egg on the neck of a carafe almost any one wonld say that it la impossible to put the egg into the carafe whole. Tet it can be done, and at the same time an impor tant principle In air pressure can be proved. First hare the egg boiled bard and then peel it. Make a torch of folded paper, light and push It Into the carafe. After It bas burned almost out place the egg on the neck of the carafe, small end downward, so that it acts as a stopper. But be sure you do not push It at all. , . The heat of the burning paper has by this time driven much of the air out of the carafe and heated what re mains inside. . When it bas Anally burned out the carafe will begin to cool, the air in it becomes cooler and therefore takes up much less space. The pressure of the atmospheric sir outside of the bottle is exerted upon the egg, which lengthens out gradually and at last drops Into the carafe with a loud "plump." In this way several Important points in physics are made plain. First It is seen how beat ni rifles the air and when the air in the carafe cools cre ates a partial vacuum. Then is proved the fact of atmospheric pressure by the way in which the egg acts. At last we sec the egg forced into the carafe, so tbnt the oir from without may Oil the vacant spucea.-Excbauge, Swans For th Table The swan it u (II inter UIsli bus been seen on Kuylisli MMos within inmpnra tlveiy rei ent limes.
