Edison is quoted as saying jthat his latest invention, the cement house, is his greatest. It. easts a house out of cement as a foundrymau casts a earwhefcl out of iron. Ir. Edison says: "All my preliminary experiments have proved success ful, and in December or January I expect to cast my first house. It will solve the problem of housing. It will take from the citv slums evervbody who is worth taking. "Why, I shall make it possible to build a house with a good cellar,1 seven large or ten ordinary rooms, and a bath, tor lJlOOy What he lias accomplished is described in the" December number of Munsey's Magazine. V In an open space, surrounded by planers and lathes, were what appeared to be the foundation walls and part of the first story of aii iron house. A peep over the top showed that there were two iron houses, one set within the other, with an eight-inch space between, Into this space cement is to be poured; then the two aron houses n i i i i .1 At. - i l c l:c: win ue taKen aown, ana uie musuuu suruciurc ol muu cial stone will be ready for occupancy. "I'll dig the cellar of this house with a steam shovel," Air. Edison continued, ' and cast it m six Jiours. Two loco motive cranes will lift the two hundred and thirty-two cubic yards of cement that the house will contain and pour it into the openings at the top. The cement will pass through twelve sluice boxes., and as it is. being poured, a number of men will churn it with iron bars, at the. end of each of wMch.willbe a large ball. The churning will be for tlie purpose of sending waves through the ceiaentj.schj that if shall nil every particle or the molds." . And it is a wonderful house that the famous wjsiard of science intends to build. There will not be enougtt w,ooa to make a hundred-dollar fire, even if all of it were 'to be consumed! Fltfors, mantels, picture-moldings aijd decora tions all will be of cement. The batiitab," washstiinlis - ... . in.. i i m t f ana sinks will be cast or tne same material poison suy he can make cement bathtubs that will be as smooth" as higlilyipolished glass. All that is required to dors to.fyave highly jpolMedpoldsr Wherever beauty is desired, anex tra finish will.be put on the casting forms. , No street of Edison cement houses will be a dull thor oughfare of uniform color and design. One house will be built on one plant; the next on another. One house will ;be gray, another red or light green, while the third may be yellow. Everybody can choose his own color. Tinting the cement before it is poured is easy. He goes on to explain now ue mieiius iu uinin.v, ma great invention, the saving in fire insurance, the great economies possible in short, his plans,-as outlined, jiis article, are wona-reacmng in xneir uuxwruuiue.

St. Louis I ' Ifr Surprisfjl. ; - The Portlanad Qregonian atones for much of its past neglect of the Rogue River valley in the following editorial whioh sftva nil that could be said of fruit crowing in this lonalitv. "At the national apple show in Spokane Trbnson Guthrie's Roeue River Snitzenbergs earned off the world's 'prize. The judges were unanimous in their de cision, which is perhaps more significant of the merit of the apples than the prize itselt is. At just about tne same time a peach orchard of four acres, not far from Ashland, sold for '$8000, that is at the rate of $2000 an acre. In con nection with these facts, one involuntarily thinks of the Rogue River shipment of Cornice pears in 1907, which sold at auction in New York for $8.10 a box. A fruit growing region of this sort will naturally attract attention, iueii desiring to plant small commercial orchards will inquire for five and ten-acre tracts suitable for fruit growing and not too far from town to make pleasant nomes. capital ists will seek to invest their money in an industry which promises returns so certain and so large. "For both the homeseekcr and the capitalists' opportu nities are abundant in the Rogue River valley. Although apples, peaches, pears and grapes are produced there in a degree of perfection which few places can rival, still only a small part of the land suitable for orchards has yet been planted. The Rogue River fruit industry, in spite of the magnificent success it has won, is only in its infancy. Men tliArfl now and plant orchards, although the prices they must pay for land may look large, are really taking .nfn rkiminov renditions. Tliev are certain not 'only of heavy profits from their fruits, but also of an enor mous increment of land values." vfliinrvil l E SAID TO BE SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT Manaeor Hazelrigg received tho Mowing telegram from the manager Eugene where the Vantages vaua- 'tfle company appeared last night, and ii evidently assures Medford theatergoers a first-class entertain ment tonight at popular prices; "Eugene, Or.)
