It is now nearly two years since the horticulturists! of the valley began an agitation to secure a weather bu reau for Medford. Memorials have been sent to members of the Oregon congressional delegation by the horticultural society and by the commercial club, and well signed pe titions have been filed at Washington. Still there is no weather bureau. This week, princi pally as a result of Mr. Whisler's visit, Forecaster Beals of Portland has visited the valley, looking into the situa tion. Probably after another year or two of mature de liberation and after several more investigations, the de partment may act. There is no section of Oregon that needs a weather bu reau as much as the Rogue River valley. With G0,000 acres of planted orchard, it is essential that the growers be warned during the late spring months of the probabil ity of frost in time to make adequate preparations for preventing damaged Weather bureaus are scattered throughout the northwest, but not one of them is really needed in its locality as much as one is needed at Medford. In this matter, as in nearly everything else, southern Oregon is without representation at the national capital. This, section does not ask much, but does 'not secure any thing that it does ask. If Oregon's congressional dele gation has any influence at all, it is directed into other channels. Members are so busy running errands for Port land that they entirely forget the existence of this portion of Oregon. Congressman Hawley, in the exploration of his dis trict last autumn, discovered this region, and was met by a large , delegation of the inhabitants and informed of their needs.

You speak of those who sympa thize with the man of the ball and chain as unpractical, sentimentalists. Let me tell you, this man who sweeps our streets has some pride, some sentiment, soma self-nispcct and soma imagination, and some good emotions, bo they ever so dwarfed, and upon the fragments of theso shattered elements wo must build, nnd to humiliate the mnn with a ball nnd chain upon the public strcots is kiyou as n sistor state in the Uniont Yrokn is surely an excellent nnmo.

The banquet was one of tho best ever. Tho ladies of the society spread it, and any one who has ever eat down at the table of any of thoue Dakota ladies will realize what the banquet was.

"Uohler, chief of'torly failed to do this in other than the pathological division, bureau of business ways. animal industry, United States de partment of agriculture, states that salmon and other fish, particularly during the spawning season, aro sub ject to various bacterial infeotions which may produce fatal diseases in nnimals eating such fish. Of the bnpterial diseases affecting fish, and which are known to bo harmful to man and animals, may bo mentioned the infections with the bacillus pro tons and with the bacillus piscicidus ngilis. It is also known that the meat of healthy fish a short while after their death may becomo infest ed with proteus and other putrefact ive organisms, and when thoy arc eaten in a raw state by animals, will cause severe disturbances which may result fatally. Of courso, in cooking, these organisms are destroyed. Be sides tho bacterial diseases, the roe of many of tho fish contains poisons during the spawning timo, which, whon enton, frequently produce death in nnimals. A successful pre vention against such infections nnd poisoning of dogs can only bo ac complished by withholding this kind of food from them.
