So. wherever fine apples are produced, thore must Tae frost. As frost damage can bo reduced to a liuninmm Tjy scientific precaution, it is common sense to use every wactical effort to prevent damage. Natural conditions in the Rogue River valley are more favorable to the fruit grower than in any section. At the same time we have frosts, or we could not produco prize- winning fruit. It is seldom that the frost works material injury here, yet it does occasionally. It is to eliminate 11 likelihood of damage that a majority of orchardists have prepared artificial heating appliances in their groves, on the principle that an ouonce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The fruit district that can successfully prevent dam age by frost and damage by pest, is the district that fruit irrowers are looking for. and that is the reason why produc ers from sections where it is impossible to overcome these dangers are centering m the Rogue Kiver valley, wiiere climatic conditions are so much more favorable than in other fruit belts. . ". . ZIR5iV! i The fruit growers of the vallev are in luck to have the services and aid of Professor O'Gara of the department of agriculture in fighting both bugs and irost. JJaiiy tore--casts are made, and the valley has all the advantage of a local Weather bureau, although congress has refused to establish one here. Any orchardist can ascertain the de gree of danger every night during the frost period by phoning central, the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph com pany having kindly placed an operator at their disposal for this purpose. - .-- On another page Professor O'Gara fully explains the mystery of weather forecasts and how predictions are made. He explains the meaning of "dew point" and oth er terms. As a result of observation in the Rogue River valley, he states: "Serious freezing during the spring rarely occurs where the dew point is 35 degrees at 7 p. m. Jbxosts are most likely to occur when the sky is clear ana ihere is no wind." ONE MAN POWER. The centralization of power in the hands of one man J. P. Morgan is shown by an article in the New York World, summarizing his. financial interests. Mr. Morgan is, without question, the most powerful financial genius ihat the world has yet seen, wielding a far vaster power than the Rothschilds or the royal families of Europe and the okl world. The grand total of the resources of the companies con trolled by or affiliated with Mr. Morgan exceeds ten bil lion dollars. The railroad, industrial, banking and life insurance companies he directly controls are capitalized for more than $6,000,000,000; he influences a dozen impor tant transportation companies, including such great rail road -systems as the New York Central, the Lake Shore nd the Santa Fe, with total capitalization in bonds and stocks exceeding $2,000,000,000. He controls miscellane ous corporations of magnitude, such as the Telephone and ZFelegraph trust, the General Electric, the Morgan-Guggenheim Alaska Syndicate and the Adams Express eom ' pany, with a total capitalization of $700,000,000. Morgan controls four great banks in New York, Phil- -1 i .rt - T Jl J T Jil. - rKf xuuipma, xjuuuou anu jraris, witii resources exceeuiug OOO.'OOO.OOO. His Tmrtnfirs own interests etxc.ptetlmp halfa vbillion dollars. The Grand Mogul of Wall street possesses such power 'that by a stroke of his pen he can make or break men or corporations, crush or promote enterprises, bring on stock .and oven national panics, promote or ruin the prosperity of nations. And the centralization of power still goes on, through consolidation of banking, industrial and transpor tation interests. Where will it all end, and how long will it bo before Morgan owns us all? UNSPORTSMANLIKE ANGLING. v There will soon be good angling in the Rogue river and its tributaries, not for steelhead (rainbow), but for cut throat and smaller trout, which are through spawning. Although steelheads can be taken with bait now, they .are not fit to eat, for they are spawning. This accounts for their presence in the small streams, and it is a shame to atch them, not only because there is no sport in it, but because it destroys the chance of future fishing. Steelhead will continue to spawn through April, and it will be the latter part of June before there will be good fly fishing for tho king of trout. During the spawning - J J.

After spawning they are thin and i n e J! ji veaic, unni ior iooa ror some monuis' Anglers who hook undersized trout should always mois ten tho hand before grasping tho fish, otherwise the dry hand will remove the slime from tho back of the trout, and it is only a question of time until tho fungus sets in and the fish will die. vampf rni ;in CARTOONIST Vance Colvig of this city has just grabbed his first laurels ns n por- trayor of tho vanities nnd peauhan tt09 of mankind, by winning tho utnn- tour pmo olforcd by "Judgo" each week with one of his cartoons.

He now plans to put in several months of hnrd work nnd hopes to doolop bis talent to a point where it will bo of some commercial value. "I hope soon to bo a member of a class Homor Dnveeport is thinking of taking in Portland,'" states Vance, "and make greater headway. 1 am number one on his list and I hope he will decide to open a stdio." In regard to winning the amateur pnzo in "Judge" over several nun dred competitiors, Vance states that tho suggestion came to him at the Orphcuci while listening to a pair of comedians. "'Tis tho simplest thing iu the world just go and hear a good joke then draw a picturo to fit it." In the meantime tho young man's friends nro constantly being regaled with clever caricatures of themselves.
