MOURN FOR UNCLE JOE.
As was expected, the republican "assembly" forces
arc in mourning over the sad developments at Washing
ton. Curtailing the tyranny of Speaker Cannon and taking
away his un-American czar-like power is regarded by as
sembly forces as little less than criminal.
Judge Williams, Chairman George, Judgo Webster and
otner old-tnnc machine politicians and present assembly
bosses express their indignation at the humiliation of the
man who has so staunchly represented the special inter
ests in congress and gagged all legislation inimical to the
trusts. i fmm
There are none so blind as those who will not see and
among the blind are the Portland Oregonian and the as-
semoiy .leaders, wlio are cracking their heads against the
direct primary wall in an effort to crack it.
People of Oregon are not ready to return to boss
rule when the whole nation is in revolt against it.
HEAVY APPLE CROP.
Indications are for a heavy apple crop in the Rogue
River valley. Never have the trees been so heavily laden
wiui iruit buds and if normal conditions continue, this
year's output will double that of 1909.
A much larger acreage will be producing this season
because of young orchards coming into bearing. light
crops were the rule last season in a majority of the or
chards, so that prospects for the largest yield on record are
Battering.
The time of year is approaching when the need of a
weather bureau is apparent. The orchardists are organ
izing for a thorough campaign to prevent damage by late
frost An ounce of, prevention is worth a pound of cure,
and all damage from frost can be warded off is precau
tions are taken.
Congressman Hawley has been so busy supporting
Uncle Joe and his czar methods that he evidently has not
had time to secure the weather bureau, as he promised
when here. However, Senator Chamberlain has come tto
therescue and is making it a personal matter with the de
partment and may have better luck.
HOW ABOUT THIS?

(Woodland, Cal, Mail.)
Tho Medford Mail Tribune of Mod
ford, Or., says that tho city board of
trustees met on February 23, 1010,
to hear protests and to pass on 12
miles of street improvement, umlor
consideration in that littlo city. Not
a single protest was voleod, but, in
stead, petitions for paving wore filed
in number to add ono more milo.
Medford already has two miles of
paved strcits. nnd has just publish
ed a call tor bids on paving 13 miles
more. By the oloso of fall she ex
pects to linve oomploted IS miles of
paved stroets.
