I of a better quality than last season
I The wild Brass is not so heavv
( Several fields already oat were in the
recent rains but no damage is re

very heavy this season in all varieties.
Berries are better than average and a

Grain la holding its own owing to the
cold, cloudy weather of the past two
(wekes. The yield of grain will no

crops look fine.
Hop raiaera of the valley are much
behind with their work. Some yards

some have just begun training. Last

and a heavy yield is expected,

Jackson took ti e steps that put the
knights of the green cloth'out of busi

grand Jury gave bim a nudge to do It,
bat this is a mere rumor. For years
gambling has been carried on openly
in Jacksonville, Gold Hill and Med.

railroad days the place was an over

oertainly secured a bargain at the

while engaged in switching in the
yards at Ashland between 8 and

over by a freight car and received in
juries from which he died at 10
o'clock Monday morning. The left leg

stated.
Dr. Parson, the company surgeon

did not survive the journey. The

A Denatured Alwhsl Test
careful teat of denatured almhal
waa lately made by the driver of an
automobile, who drove bis machine
from New York to Philadelphia with
alcohol fuel. Ha found advantages and
disadvantage In the naa of it. Th
auto consumed three times as much al
conol as It would hare consumed of
gasoline, but a part of the excess waa
doe to carelessness. Tba speed was
less than gasouna would have given,
and th power developed waa less. But

Tbe new fuel to absolutely safe, and

Lack of Confidence In Your Own
Town.
A correspondent of ths Oreaon
Agricnlturist describes bis way of
fighting the peach; tree borera After
exposing the roots and getting out as
many worms as possible be applies
the following preparatino, whioh he
says will prevent a new deposit of
eggs at tbe same place :
I use lime sulphur spray, double
strength, and add a little more lime
To each fifty gallons I add one pint of
crude carbolio acid and one pound
disparene (arsenate of lead). I an
ply this about April 20th, or, if sea
son is late, about May 1st Apply
with whitewash brush or swab from
six inches above ground down as deep
as dug away. Apply fieely. I used
this last year and will aaain!this year,
My trees were bady infected at plaoes
but this year I seldom find a borer and
I have not seen a small one since an
plying the remedy. My idea is not
to kill the boror in the tree, tot to
prevent the borer moth from deposit
ing her egg at the part cf tree
treated, and to make a success this
should be continued for more than
one season. This is also beneficial to
tbe tree otherwise. I left the around
away from the trees, except what was
cultivated back and find a new bark
growing over the parts injured by
borers.
The stage line from Crecsent City to
Grants Pass is in excellent condition
and the roids are good considering
the amount of work that has been
done on them during the season. The
Urants Pass end of the road is being
greatly improved. For a distance of
five miles out of Grants .Pass all the
stumps and trees have been removed,
the road has been or ia being turn
piked and oement culverts have been
pot in. It is a pleasure to travel over
roads such as they are making In Jose
