TEACHERS SUPPORT ASHLAND
. NORMAL i
Tbe teacbera of southern Oregon
are unanimous in their demand for
the re-opening of tbe Ashland Nor
mal school, and Monday afternoon
adopted tbe following resolutions:
"Whereas, the Josephine and Jack
ion County Teachers' Institute baa
annually declared in mont unmis
takable tonea for the re-opening of
tbe southern Oregon state normal
school; and
"Whereas, tbe legislature has by
practically a unanimous vote recom
mended to the people at the coming
election In November, 1914, a mill
age bill whereby the appropriation is
taken out , of the legislature, and
therefore out of politics;
"Be it resolved, that the Josephine
and Jackson County Teachers' In-
stltute give said bill its hearty sup-
port until the measure is finally
adopted Into law, and that a special
committee of five be appointed to
draft a suitable address setting forth
to the citizens of Oregon why said I
measure should be carried."
The' following resolution was also
adopted and wired to Portland to
the Congress of Mothers in session
tbere: ,
"Be it hereby resolved by the
teachers of Josephine and Jackson
eountles, in Institute assembled at slon for It, has been remarkable, and
Grants Pbbb, that we extend greet-1 larger nnd permanent quarters should
Ings to the Congress of Mothers as-1 be provided before spring. There

work of these women a great benefit j market, and that a modern building

further resolved, that we ask their! the market by going to It for sup
upport of the measure now ponding plies of fruit, and It Is believed that

southern Oregon normal school."
FEDERAL PROTECTION OF
BIRDS
Laws for the protection of the ;
game animals and birds of the coun
try are undergoing continual change,
sometimes for the better, often with
little advance for the better. The
Idea Is for better laws, and some
time the better laws will be found,
but unfortunately It Is then often
too late to serve the purpose. Fed
eral regulation of migratory birds Is
one of tho greatest advances made
In lnte years in the scheme of game
and bird protection, and It would bo
well If the federal government could
have charce of tho law-making cov
ering all the (tame animals that are
common to the various states.
Tbe new law covering mleratory
Mrdsi divides tbe entire country into
two ones. The first is the breeding
zone and includes the twenty-live
states lylnR mainly north of tin
Ohio river and latitude 40 denross.
In tb.ls rone the duped sc:inn for
all water fowl, shore birds and rails
Is from December 15 to September 1,
except for a slight variance In dates
In a few states. For woodcock, the
r!i;:-ed season in general extends to
let , t 1. The second rone is known
ns the wintering one and Includes
tbe rest of the country. In this the
closed season for waterfowl Is from
February to November, generally
speaking. Other game birds fare
equally well.
It has been decided that doves aie'
not covered by the new federal law j
and tuny be killed during the open
season provided by state- game laws.
The shooting of mleratory birds
between sunset snd sunrise Is pro
hibited !n all rarta of the country.
The law also provides a five-year
closed season, ending September,
1918, for band-tailed pigeons, swana,
curlews and three varieties of cranet
all of which have become nearly
extinct. There la a rioted teaion
from January 1 to November 1 for
all migratory birds passing over or
at rest on the Mississippi, Missouri
and Ohio rivers for practically their
entire extent.
For all migratory Insectivorous
birds the closed season extends
throughout the year, with the excep-
District of Columbia and South Caro
lina reed birds and rice blrda may
still be shot between August 31 snd
November 1. The migratory Insec
tivorous birds covered by this regu
lation Include practically all the
perching blrda that feed on Insects.
PUBLIC MARKET SUCCEEDS.
Saturday was another successful
day in tbe public market, all the
fourteen stalls being filled with pro
ducers and a steady stream of pur
chasers adding to tbe wealth of the
tillers of the soli. There is an ex
cellent variety of produce being of
fered each market day now, the
showing of fruits being especially
good. Many articles are now being
offered that are a bit out of tbe com
mon, and one can buy home-made
hominy, cottage or Dutch cheese, ci
der, and scores of other things that
tickle the palate and help out with
an appetizing menu. It Is expected
that during the winter there may be
a time when fruits and vegetables
will be scarce, but with the increase
n the offerings of butter, eggs, chick-
ens and meats it is thought that tbe
market can mainaln Its Interest and
be in a position to become firmly es
tablished and a permanent institu
tion by spring. Its success thus far,
starting late in the season when the
farmers had made no special provi-
the consumption of home grown pro
ducts has been nearly doubled In
the city since the Institution of the
market. The merchants report that
their sales of home grown products
have increased since the campaign
commenced, and certainly consump-
tlon of fruits and vegetables through
out the city Is much larger than
heretofore.
MAKING THE SOIL PRODUCE
What the Rogue valley needs Is
men who will till the soil. Men who
will make our fertile acres produce
new wealth, and not permit them to
Ho Idle and unproductive in the hope
that others will by their efforts and
their dollars enhance their values.
Addison Bennett spoke truthfully
when be said tTint the basis of pros
perity In the western country was
the farm, and that tho cow nnd the
Iiok pointed the way to commercial
progress. Tho cities are alrealy nil-
ed with doctors and lawyers nnd
merchants amply able to care for the
business now here, and more men to
'arm the soil to make new business
are reeled before there is need for
n urea'or extension of many of the
other lines of Industry. For the
r.m wr-o wants to make his home
it. nie most Piorious portion oi uie i
. ,. , . , ...
lounlrv where climate and all na-
ur:i! conditions go to make up the
'm.i of human happiness, the acres
of t'ae Rogue valley offer the great
est opportunity. A few acres in al
'.fn fiipportlng b herd of dairy cows
will soon be coining the nntjgets of
wealth, without the Ion waJ Inci
dent tc the building up of a pro
ductive orchard.
REGISTRATION NOT REQUIRED.
City Attorney Colvli? has received
an opinion from Attorney-General
Crawford in which the state's legal
adviser says that electors may vote
a the coming special city election
!thout having been previously re
mistered. Id his letter of advice tbe
ttorney-general said:
"You have asked the opinion of
this office as to the right of electors
to vote at tbe polls at a special city
election without previous registration.
"Replying thereto would advise
you that In my opinion they have!
such right. The supreme court of;
this state has held in case of Lives-!
ley vs. Litchfield, 47 Oregon 248,
that a provision In a charter prohib
iting any person from voting at any
election in tbe city who baa not paid
a road poll tax is unconstitutional,
as being In violation of article XI,
section 2 of tbe constitution prescrib
ing tbe qualification of electors.
Again, in White vs. Commissioners,
13 Oregon, 317, the court held that
any law requiring previous registry
ls( unconstitutional and Ipso facto
void as being In violation of the con
stitutional provision above noted.
"You will note that section 6 of
chapter 323, general laws of 1913,
the same being the recently enacted
registration act, provides that in tbe
event of the act being held uncon
stitutional tbe voter may vote at
the polls by using Blank A. In view
of the previous decision of the su
preme court holding a similar sta
tute unconstitutional and void, would
advise you that In my opinion the
voter may vote at the polls by tbe
use of Blank A without previous re
gistration. "By section 21 of said chapter 323,
the act Is made applicable to city
elections, and therefore would apply
thereto In all respects."
THE TEACHERS RESOLVE.
Before adjournment tbe members
of tbe Institute adopted resolutions
covering numerous subjects. They
expressed their appreciation of the
hospitality and the treatment accord
ed by the people of Grants PaBs and
of the spirit displayed by the citi
zens; thanked The Courier for its
report of "the progress of the Insti
tute from day to day;" resolved in
favor of tbe state institutions for tbe
assistance which they had offered in
sending instructors and special work
ers, and unanimously endorsed the
rcferended appropriation which the
people will vote upon in November
for new buildings for the. state uni
versity, and commended Governor
West for the appointment of J. A
Churchill as state superintendent of
public Instruction. .The teachers also
recommended that the state superin
tendent take steps leading to the ne
cessary legislation for the standard
ization of the high schools of the
state, and for the abolishment of the
present state 8th grade examlnatlons;
The continuation of the Joint Insti
tute of Josephine and Jackson coun
ties was endorsed, and It was asked
that one period each day of the In
stitute be given to methods of teacu-
Ing music in the public schools. The
principals of the various schools In
cluded in tbe Institute also asked
that the directors of the county fair
set aside the Friday of fair week as
j Children's Day. on which all children
ext,ib1tora be admitted free, and the
day to be made a school holiday by
the superintendent.
MEXICAN PATRIOTISM.
A n: of conditions and n.en in
itlie cuniiuuous enibroglio In Mexico
p roves that personal ambition of the
! leaders counts for ail, while national
patriotism or the desire to see Mexico
'
am! Mexicans prosper in pea e ;.tn!
happiness stands for naught. Mexico
Is governed as much by tyranny and
blood as was Cuba under Spanish
rule, and the ultimate outcome will
undoubtedly be like that of Cuba.
For the Butcher Weyler, Mexico has
many butchers, nnd tenure of office
Is marked by escape from the assas
sin's knife or the murderer's bullet.
It would seejn the height of folly for
the United States to step In and at
tempt to establish one of these butch
ers In his self-assumed position, and
the administration has followed the
course of wisdom. Some day Mexico
will become a great country, being
Immensely rich In natural resources
that can never be developed under
present conditions, and it is sure that
this development must come largely
through men and capital from the'
United States. But these men should
bide their time. Uncle Sam will not j
send his boys there to protect the dol-j
lars of greed. The time will come
when this government will have to
Intervene, but when that time comes j
Intervention can undoubtedly be ac-j
compllshed without unnecessary j
bloodshed.
PETROLEUM DISPLACES COAL.
On account of the large production
cf petroleum In California and Its use
for fuel, coal mining has practically
censed In that state, the production In
the last two years being only 10,747
tons In 1911 and 10,978 tons In 1912,
according to Edward W. Parker, of
tbe United States Geological survey.
Tbe production of petroleum In Cal
ifornia in 1912 was 86,450,767 bar
rels, of which not less than 50,000,
000 barrels was used directly for fuel.
Large quantities of oil are also used
In place of coal for gaa making, and
on the estimate that 3 barrels of
petroleum is equivalent to 1 ton of
ordinary bituminous coal, It Is prob
able that from 1,400,000 to 1,500,000
tons of coal would be required to per
form In California the serv'ce now
rendered by petroleum In the produc
t'on of heat, light, and power. Cali
fornia oil Is the principal fuel for lo
comotives as far north as Washing
ton and across the Sierra and the
Cascade range, Its freedom from
sparks serving as a great protection
against forest fires, as compared with
coal or wood fuel. It Is used almost
exclusively on Inland and coastwise
steamers and to an increasing extent
by the trans-Pacific steamers. It has
even displaced coal on Puget Sound,
maur of the steamers of the Canadian
Pacific fleet plying between Vancou
ver, Victoria, and other points hav-
leg been equipped for oil burning.
There Is still, however, pome demand
for coal In California, pi'rici.'arly for
doirestic use and for bunker trade at
San Francisco, but It Is almost ex
clusively supplied by coals from other
states and from abroad.
With the dispatches telling of
storm and blizzard in many parts of
tho east and the middle west, of
tornado along the Atlantic coast, and
of the appearance of winter every
where except in the Pacific north-1
w est, one might moralize upon the j
sunshine of the Rogue, sunshine that
paints the apple and adds the rich-!
ness to the flavor of the Tokay; days'
that are balmy and warm and undls-
turbed by freak of the air but;
what's the use? Those fellows were :
invited to come out to the Rogue val
ley and they have procrastinated, i
Frost nipped ears are good enough
for 'em now.
Grants Pass has got $70,000 worth
of railroad, but the value will drop
pretty fast if the bond issue should
fall Thursday.
Boston, Oct. 23. That a central
committee in charge oT Roman Cath
olic mission work In America will re
sult from the efforts of the Catholic
'MxKTh's Extension Society was the
i , i'lion expressed by delegates to the
. l:-;rch's missionary congress, who,
following adjournment of all but a
few so'tionnl meetings, were begin
ning to leave for home today.
