SAN FRANCISCO THE LOGICAL SITE.
Though San Diogo has made a plucky effort to secure
the Panama Pacific exposition, it is evident now that un
less she withdraws in favor of San Francisco, New Orleans
will capture the federal appropriation and the const lose
the benefit of the exposition. The Pacific states must
unite upon the strongest applicant, which means San
lYancisco, or else permit the south to get away with it.
The Pacific coast is the only section of the country that
can profitably hold a world s fair. Experience has dem
onstrated this. The mid-winter fair at San Francisco, the
Lewis and Clark exposition at Portland the Seattle-Yukon-Pacific
exposition at Seattle were all successes, both from
financial and attendance standpoints, while the Chicago,
New Orleans, St. Louis and Jamestown expositions were
failures.
San Francisco is the logical place in California for an
exposition, and the Oregon delegation and Oregon influ
ences should assist San Francisco capture the government
appropriation.
San Francisco is 500 miles nearer Oregon than San
Diego, and more people from the east will visit Oregon if
the exposition is held there than they will if it is held at
San Diego. Therefore it is to Oregon's interest that the
city by the Golden Gate secure the exposition.
WATCH THE WEATHER REPORTS.
Move on to Have Government Tako
Over Packing Houses and Regu
late Prices.
The Medford Mail Tribune has made arrangements
with Professor P. J. O'Gara, assistant pathologist, depart
ment of agriculture, for daily forecasts covering the
weather for the night following publication. Professor
O'Gara has received the necessary instruments from the
weather bureau and will be on the lookout for cold snaps.
His warnings will be published at the top of page 1. By
& little foresight orchardists need have nothing to fear
through a lack of warning.
Professor O'Gara has also arranged with the local
telephone office to send out the forecast up until midnight,
and from now until the end of the frost season will take half
hourly observations from 6 p. m. until midnight.

JOHNSON'S
DROPS FROM VIEW
When Colored Hcavywclnht Annoai
cd In Court to Answer Assault
Chargo Witness Failed to Show Up
NEW YOlK, March 23. The trial
of Jack Johnson, negro heavyweight
champion, developed a throat from
Judge Mulqucon today to have a
grand jury probe into tho disappear
ance of Nat Pimlor, the negro John
son is accused of having attacked.
When Johnson's trial came m on
calendar today it was discovered
that Piudor was missing.
"This court will not bo trifled
with," declared Judge Mulqueon. "i
intend to have n grand jury investi
gation into the cause of tho disap
pearance of the prosecuting wituoss
and of othor witnesses."
Tho court onlorcd Johnson's trial
continued and tho defendant's ro
loasa on $3000 bail.
Johnson is accused by Pinder of
having made n deadly assault upon
him in tho rosort oT Baron Wilken
8on, West Thirty-fifth street.
Pinder alleged that he asked John
son to join him and Mrs. Pinder in
a social glass nnd that Johnson or
dered wine. This was too much for
Pindor. who remarked:
"I know yon when you wero glad
to drink beer out of a bucket."
Whereat Johnson arose in mighty
wrath and is alleged to have swatted

People of northern Douglas, county and southern Lane
county are making strenuous efforts to secede and form
a new county. With this end in view, they have secured
signatures to an initiative petition and will appeal to the
people of Oregon at the next general election to create
Nesmith county, with Cottage Grove as county seat.
Good arguments are made in behalf of the proposed
county of Nesmith. The boundaries will be in .strict ad
herence to the topography and natural watersheds. The
segregation will not injure either Douglas or Lane coun
ty, but will be beneficial to the territory involved. The
area taken from Douglas county will be 468 square miles,
of which 209 is in the forest reserve, from which Douglas
receives no revenues. The area taken from Lane will be
1472 square miles, leaving nearly 3000 square miles. The
Bohemia mining district, now in the two counties, will be
in the new division.
'The main cause of Nesmith's discontent is that it is the
tail and of both old counties, denied proper representa
tion, and ignored in all matters of government. It lias
never been allowed a county judge or a county commission
er, is not represented in the legislature. It has the privi
lege of paying taxes, and that is all.
.Nesmith will take 33 per cent of the present area of
Xane county, 18 per cent of the population, '22 per cent of
the assessed valuation. From Douglas county it will take
9.3 per cent of area, 4.4 per cent of population, 4.7 per cent
of valuation. The population of the new county will ap
proximate 10,000 people, now practically denied represen
tation. It will contain 1940 square miles, and property
jwisessed at $5,309,575.
' Counties in Oregon are generally too large. The larg
'er the county, the less the development. Taxation and
representation do not go hand in tyand in large counties.
JTbe most densely populated and highest developed re
gions are the small counties, and the small counties, like
tho small farms, are the wealth producers.
- Evidently the people of Nesmith are of a progressive,
'wide-awake class. They wish t6 develop "their region, but
are denied opportunity. They want local self-government
and as a matter of justice as well as ot benefit to the en
tire state, should have it. In their ambitious effort for
progress they have the sympathy. of the public generally
and there is little doubt but that the people of Oregon, be
lievers in fair play, will give them the opportunity they
crave. .
They "cut tho price in two,"
And what is Bared tho public gets
