ord as being opposed to any attempt

The meeting was called by Presi
dent W. H. Benteen for the purposo
of advising Horticultural Commis
sioner Charles H. Rodgers relative
to certain local matters which he will
present early in tho year in Sacra
mento at a meeting to be held thero
of the special committee of the
state horticultural commission. This
meeting will be called to discuss such
matters as the standardizing of the
fruit pack, securing fairer freight
rates and to tako up other matters
of vital interest to the fruit growers
of this city.
The standardizing of the fruit
pack as incorporated in tho Lafean
bill now before congress was dU
cussed at length and tho directors
expressed their opinion on the mat
ter in every phase of tho question,
To get the opinion of those present
in better form, tho following reso
lution was drafted and unanimously
adoptod:
I "Resolved, That innsmuch ns this
association has protested against
any set size of box being adopted
by the federal government a

Itodgers, as a member of tho com
mittce of ten called together by tho
stnto horticultural commission to

fruit grade and pnekago and thi

nin, to protest earnestly against the
adoption by congress of the stand
nrdizing of apple grndos and pack
ages as set forth in what is eoner
ally known as tho Lafean bill now
pending bofore congress."

NOTED JOSEPHINE CASE
DECIDED IN SUPREME COURT
William Von dfcr Ilellon of Englo
Point spout Thursday night in Med-
The supreme court of Oregon has
handed down a decision in the case
of Lathrop vs. the Modern Woodmen
of America, reversing the decision of
the trial court in Joscphino county
presided over by Judge Hanna, who
instructed the jury to bring in
verdict for $3000 in favor of the
plaintiff. The husband of the plnin
tiff had made application for mem
bership in tho order, and for a pol
icy of insurance, in the amount of
$3000. Social membership had been
exercised, but before the rules of the
order had been complied with to per
feet the insurance, Lathrop was mor
tally injured by a blast. Two days
niter the accident tho family applied
to the local camp for tho policy and
tendered tho first payment. Tho pol
icy, which hod been lying for somo
time in the hands of the secretary of
the camp, Lathrop failing to respond
to notitco to call and pay tho feo and
nccept it, was thereupon dolivercd to
his family. Tho head camp refused
payment and suit followed, with the
result as stated, in the circuit court
The decision of reversal by tho su
premo court is now looked upon ns
decisive of tho case, which is re
mandod for a new trial.
E. D. Briggs of Ashland was tho
attorney in charge of tho caso for
tho Modorn Woodmen.

"If merchants and storekeepers
wish to aid in tho prevention of burg
laries, they should leave a small light
in tho rear of tho store, so that we
can tell from looking from the street
whether everything is all right,"
states Jeff Brophy, night chief of
police. "This will help us in making
our rounds. If tho light is out, wo
will know thnt things are not right
and investigate.
"At present almost all stores ex
tinguish all lights, and consequently
it is almost impossible to seo
whethor everything is as it ought to
be. We try every front and rear
door, but this does not tell the story
like a light would."

POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT
REPORTS A LARGE GAIN
WASHINGTON. Jan. 14. As a
business institution tho postoffiee de
partment, next to tho United States
treasury, is tho greatest in the gov
ernment. According to figures sub
mitted by Chnrle P. Granfield, first
assistant nostmnster genornl, for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1009, in
his annual report, tlio gross rovenue
of tho postal servico readied tlio
enormous total of $203,502,383, nn
increnso of $12,083,720, or 0.31 per
cent, over the preceding yenr.
Thero were 00,144 postofficcs in
operation on Juno 30, 1009. During
tho year 1020 postmasters were ap
pointed by presidential offices. At
fourth-class offices Olfll postman
ters were appointed.
Concerning the routine of his bu
renu, Mr. Granfield says:
"Tho retention of fourth-clans
postmasters during satisfactory Bor
vico, has becomo tho established
practice of tho department, and the
policy of recommending tho reap
pointment of presidential postmas
ters who have proved efficient lias
been followed consistently, with
highly beneficial results.
"It is recommended that tho iuw
bo so amended ns to provido for the
advancement of nn office of tlio
fourth class to tlio presidential class
whenover tho compensation of tho
postmaster nmotints to $100 and tlio
gross annual receipts to $J000 for
four successive quarters,"
Mr. Granfield makes a strong ar
gument in favor of 30 days' annual
leavo of clerks nnd carriers in first
class and Becond-clnss officos.
