Gentle f northerly winds. . , SWIMMING' AM) CARELESSNESS The accident near Riverside park yesterday when a young girl ot this 'city came neat losing her life by drowning, should be sufficient warn' Ing to parents to keep a close watch on their children. The parents ot the girl in question are not especial ly to blame other parents, many ot them give their children equal priv ilege, to go to the river alone. This should not fce done unless the chil dren are accompanied by some one - who is a good swimmer. However, an error was. made-ln yesterday's ae- count ot the accident. It happened about 150 yards above the regular swimming pool and not In front of . the bathhouse. The railroads have this motto: "A careful person Is the best insurance." It's good one, and should be pasted In .every home. Parents should take precaution before an accident hap- . pens not afterward. : The swimming pool at Riverside park is a safe one as safe as one could be, and still be a good swim ming pool. There are no treacher ous currents, undertow, quicksand or "jump-oifs," but the water at that point In the Rogue flows smoothly . along at a alow rate. It "has no ter rors for those who can swim, and those who cannot swim are able to gradually wade out for a consider able distance before getting beyond ,thelr depth. But "seeing how far they can wade out" is a poor prac tice for those unable to navigate the surface of the water without sub- . merging, and even those who can "swim a little" should never under take the uncertain unless accompan ied by an expert swimmer who re mains close at their side. Everyone should learn to swim. t No person knows when that time will come when they will Ibe compel led to swim a few strokes or perish. Go down to the river and let some good swimmer take you Into about three and a half feet of water and . teach you the art. It might prove one ot the best Investments yon can make.

At the pace now set it will be a' very .few years before every acre of land in the district will be in crops and the axes, and grubbing machines busy converting more of the forest into productive areas.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, (Aug. 12. A conflict is in promws 'horo bctwcvu union lubor men over the question whether the American Federation of libor, the Dominion 'Labor Congross or thto ilUg Union shall control la bor orgiuilxations ill Wlnulpeg. The struggle is tho outcome of the gen eral strike which took place hore In May and June, Involving labor nnd capital throughout the IPomlnlon. A short tlmo ago the Winnipeg Trades nnd Labor Council voted to join One Big Union by a vole said to be 8.S41 to 705. As a result of thg action, the Do minion Ibor Congress cancelled the charter of the Winnipeg Trades and Labor Council nnd announced that an effort would be made 1o form a now council In Winnipeg to include the local organizations opposed to the One Big Union plan.' Amoug the organizations which rejects this idea of having One Bin Union were the rnllrond brotherhoods and tho American Federation of Labor. Some Canadian newspapers assert that the split In the labor ranks was precipitated by the alien element and say that the One Big Union organ ized at Calgary demanded that the government release all "political prisoners" Interned during the war. Federal ministers have charged that a heavy percentage of the One BIk l.nton membership was composed of aliens. One of Grants Pass's crack fish ermen spent a whole day trying to "make a killing." He caught three turtles and a chub. Cheer up, old sport, the steelheads will soon begin to cut half-moons and do tail-spins in the Rogue. During these days of Bnto travel. short skirts and seemore waists are no more numerous on the streets than are tight breeches and button- less shirts. The Oregonian is trying to con vince Oregonians that they want Taft for president. Some Job; besides, or ganized labor is solidly opposed to Taft The Prince of Wales has many ti tles, but as a collector of filthy lucre he is a piker compared to the late Andy Carnegie who often made twenty- five million a' year.

PORTLAND TO ERADICATE POISONOUS PLANTS AFTER THE DOLLAR A Portland firm is preparing to send nlgh-salarled salesmen among Oregon farmers to sell them gro ceries. These salesmen will have samples of their goods, will distrib ute advertising pamphlets and show ranchers how to make out their or ders. ' What are the merchants in the mailer cities going to do about It? But hard luck does not always come singly. Right on top of this comes the announcement that Mont gomery Ward & Company are pre paring to erect a large building in (Portland and then flood the homes 'of Oregon people both in the city and on the farm with order blanks end nicely-arranged catalogues show ing their bargains. . Such operating forces are likely Portland, Aug. 13. Eradication of poison onk and ivy from vacant lots of Portland has been decided upon by the public health bureau. Owners of property on which the vines are being allowed to grow are to be arrested unless they comply with orders that are to be Issued immediately for destruction of the plants. Scores of complaints have been received this summer by Health Officer Parrish from parents whose barefoot children have become pois oned through playing In vacant lots, and some of the cases are reported of a serious nature. The police department will coop erate with the health officials in waging the campaign. PRIZE BEAVER HAT FOR ROUND UP CHAMPION renoieton. Ore., Aug. 13.

"Considerable ot the farming land lies in long narrow valleys bordering the streams, the larger farming sec tions, being the Applegate valley, Williams Creek valley, and Rogue river valley. The largest apple belt ot the IRogue river valley lies' in Jackson county, and the belt centers about Medford, but several hundred acres lie on the' Josephine couty side of the line. The 'Illinois valley is another large farming belt of the county, near the state line. "The mountainous nature of the county and the big forest acreage makes it an ideal grazing ground for big beef herds and small pasturages tucked away on mountain brofcka have been put to use for dairying. "Many ot. the mountain farmers interest themselves in mining and the mineral resources of the county have attracted several large concerns that have opened gold, chrome and other properties.'"
