There was a great seusation in
Hoeehurg Sunday when an old Her
man well digger named William IMohh
made known to the authorities that he
had murdered a man aud buried him
within half a mile of town. BIohh
was brought in from the count)- poor
farm Saturday and an examination as
to his sanity was to be held Mondav.
Hut liefore his eiamiicitiou Wgan he
told of the Li ling of Philander Leni
U'.oii, an old mmi who hud been living
wl'h him in his cabin ent of town.
He went with the olllers to the
spot and showed them where he had
buried his victim.
The body was exhumed and at once
returned. The killing occurred June
10, so he says, and be gave his reason
for killing him as self defense
He said they had had a iurrel
during the night Iwause he could not
shvii on account of Lemmon 's snor
ing so loud, and als.iit A o'clock In
the morning the quarrel was resumed.
Lemmon struck at him with an ax,
and he savs he dodged the blow and
picked up another ax and struck Lem
mon on the head, killing him. lie
then came to town and got his break-
fast aud returned to li cabin, put his
victim on a board an. I dragged hliu

n ft.
A. H. Cbmoo, comissioner
Oregon State Board of Hort.cu.ture
for the Third district
which embraces
so displeased
Southern Oregon, is
with my method of
office of fruit inspector
handling the
for .ToseDhine
county that he has made three separate
anolicationa to the ooonty
mnpi to
have me pot out of the position. As
County Judge Jewell and Commis
aionera Logan and Wertz and every
frnit grower in the county are satis
fied with my work Mr Carson's pro
test Is of no avail. His complaint is
that I have bei n negligent and not
enforced the fiuit pent law as it
should be. Mr. Carson's idea is
that I should have been traveling
over the county for the past three
months inspecting orchards regardless
whether the owners were cariug for
them or not. I do not understand
that the law requires that of the in
spector. Of conrse had I wanted to
make a soft snap out of the office
I could have visited the orchards of
Eisinauu Broi, R. A. N. Reymers,
C. F. Lovelace, C. W. Triplett and
other rareful fruit growers who do
not need to De orgea ro comply wun
the law against pests, and I could
have thus run op a bill against the
county, which the taxpayers would
have lo pay, of :I00 or I00. As it is
I have only put in time looking up
orchards that may not be sprayed by
April 1st. Much of this work I have
done in my offioe through inquiries of
the farmers and business men who
railed. Many of the delinquents I
have been able to get their promise by '
a notioe mailed to them to spray be
fore the time limit expires. While I
expected to have trouble lo enforcing 1
the law yet I have not had one in
stance of an owner of diseased fruit
trees lieiug obstinate aud refusing to
spray his trrei. Some few demurred
at first holding that the law was too
severe or that the pests had such a
hold on the orchards that it waa use
Iras to spray. Ky reasoning with
such persons and showing them that
the pests can be controlled and the
profit that can be made by raising
first-class fruit I have no difficulty in
getting them to clean up their or
chards. With the splendid progress that is
now-he'ng made in pruning and
spraying aud digging up of half dead
t'eeB the orchards of Josephine county
win () ny April 1st in a far better
comnrion man ttiey ever nave been
since the coming of the pists. Last
year there were hardly lo percent
s:irctly first class apples raised iu the
county owing to the ravages of the
pests. This year so thorough will the
spraying be done it is reasonable to
expect To per cent perfect fruit and
with a strict enforcement of the pest
law, that is certain hereafter to be
had through t e backing of the drains
1'asH Kruit tirnwers 1'iiion, Josephine
County will he getting well up the
Hood River standard of mi per cent
perfect fruit, aud the fruit industry
will become cine of the biggest wealth
producers of the county.
Had Mr. Carson done his duty for
the year past that be has been a
member of the State Hoard of Hor
ticulture the orchards of Josei,hine
county would not have been so nearly
ruined by the posts as they now are
aud there would have beeu no occa
sion for the appniutui'iit hy the
count v court of a fruit inspector nor
work for him to do. Mr. Carson Iota
not had the interest in the fruit in
dustry nor public spirit to keep bis
own orchard free from pests and an
object lesson to fruit growers for his
tr.'es are as badly infected as any in
the county. Nor is his vinevard free
from M.(H fr lllrtnv f t,l(i
are atTect.Hl with grai knot, as it is
known to viueyardisls, one of the
moM deadly cf the diseases that at
tack gt.ii',. vines Mr. Carson's work
as c.-inuii-sioiier is no more satisfact
ory in the other counties of his dis-
.nil man in this county. It
was
only two we-k
ago at their annual
meeting that the Ashland Fruit
I'roduce Association passed a resolu
tion that as Jackson county had been
neglected hy the commissioner for
this district aud that the (iovemor be
as's.sl to appoint a commissioner for
that county. The members of the
Med ford Kruit tirowers Cniou ar
displeased with the way Mr. C.arson
has neglected his duties. There is no
credit due Mr. Carson at all for the
enforcement cf the fruit pest law in
lo-ephiiie county for not a thing was
done until I orgauiied the Grants

A VERY EFFICIENT
ROAD SUPERVISOR
Mr. Geniner Believea In Putting
In Permanent Improvement
on County Roads.
C. K. Oentuer, road supervisor , (0 blow open the safe in Ira Wim
of Murphy district, is busy with one Vjeriy'g store at Drain. Several
of the wheel scrapers, recently bought ; citizens were returning home from a
by the county, for his district. The j i0aKe meeting when Clarence Hoovei.

proveg tnBt; jir,
Geutner is one of the
en1(.ient roftd supervisors of
i Jogephiue county. Mr. Gentuer does
not spel)d the greater p8rt of his time
dwadHDinf? trees and cutting stove
woo(J while drawing easrT from
j , t of the flne oak ghade
trees by the roadside as some of the
road supervisors of this county do,
but be works with the same energy,
honesty and skill for the public that
be would for an Individual or for him
self. He spends as little time on re
pairs as possible and puts in the
gr ater part of the work on making
permanent sections of road by grading
and draining, aud so fast as the road
fucd at bis disposal will permit in
graveling the completed roads.
To Road Supervisor Center's
district belongs the credit of having
the Hist concrete bride in Josephine
county. The Courier stated recently
that the first concrete bridge was to
be in Read Supervisor George Gebers'
district to be put in on the stage road
south of this city recently improved.
That was the intention of the county
court, but . owing to delay in getting
cement no concrete bridge was put
in the brook beiug given passage
across the road through two large
corrugated Bteel
pipes, which the
using this year in
couuty is largely
stead of wooden culverts and small
bridges. The coucrete bridge that
Mr. tientner recently put in is arcosa
Hoard Shanty creek on the road up
Applegate Valley. This creek has
heretofore been spanned by a bridge
which with its approaches measured
100 ieet in length. This wooden
structure, us is the cae with all other
such structures, has to be renewed
every 10 to 15 years making a con
tinued expense to the tax payer. At
the point where the road cros-es the
creek the volume of wati r evmina
freshet is small but the stream is iu
the bottom of a deep ravine that made
the long bridge necessary. The con
crete bridge has au opening IS feet
wide aud 10 feet high. To bring the
road up to the proper grade Mr.
(ientner will make a big till of earth.
When this work is completed Board
Shanty creek will be spauued for all
time to come and not a dollar will be
required for repairs and thus will
one leak in the couuty roud fund lie
stopped. This putting iu of concrete
bridges is a part ..f the modern road
building methods that County Judge
Jewell and Commissioners Logau and
Wertz have adopted. Wooden culverts
are being replaced with tile aud steel
culverts as fast as thev tail.
