Albany's census shows 4300, ac
cording to tho Herald, and yet people
have left Medford for Albany.
A REGENT issue o f tho Moxicnii Herald contains a des-
cription of the Crater lakes of Mexico, tiny minia
tures of the only real Crater Lake, our own oxcopt that
the waters are a brilliant green in place of the deepest
of blues. Instead of being six miles across, these Mexi
can craters are a few hundred yards, and the walls are
less than 100 feet in hoight where our Crater Lake- rim is
2000 feet above the water. Vallc de Santiago, a little town
of the state of Guanajuato, boasts four of the most perfect
and beautiful of these little crater lakes.
The village nestles among eleven craters, all formed,
in some past age, by sudden explosions from the interior
of the earth, explosions that blew out a great amount of
earth, formed low cones, and subsided without flow of
lava or other demonstration than the single explosion.
They are what are known to science as "explosion cra
ters." La Alberca is one of the lowest of the craters, and on
one side a portion of the crater wall has fallen away so
that the approach is very easy. A short climb, and, as
one rises over tiie edge, one ot tlie most ueautitui views
in Mexico is spread out. Half a mile across is the low
line of crater wall, and down below it is the greenest of
lakes, calm as a plate of glass, and perhaps the tiny boat
which plies the lake is on the opposite side, close below
the walls of basalt, which rim it.
These walls, which rise nearly 100 feet above the sur
face of the lake, are part of the native rock which was
blown off like the cork of a bottle when the crater was
formed. It rises sheer and erect above the lake on every
side. The columns of basalt give a truly mountainous,
almost Alpine, touch to the scene.
Climbing down the steep road to the level of the lake
the visitor has opportunities to drink in real beauty, which
here is more dignified and more like the old world than
almost anything in Mexico. The tropics are far distant,
and here, in the higher lands, verdure is calm and beauty
a thing of gentle touch.
The calm restfulness of the crater lake is unlike any
thing in the world. One finds lakes and solitary pools in
forests or mountain fastnesses, and the calm there is akin
to witchery, but they are stirred sometimes by passing
breezes, and the trees will wave above in the wind. But
in a crater lake there is not a breath that will stir it, and
even a stone cast into its bosom creates ripples that seem
as though they would be swallowed ere they are bora.
Peace is a word without a meaning until one lies silent on
the slope of such a crater, with such a lake at his feet.
H such is the effect of these miniature lakes, and Cra
ter Lake, Oregon, is as much more beautiful, as much more
awe-inspiring as it is larger, a scenic wonder that the
whole world will talk about and visit till time shall be no

HOW TO FIGHT THE PLY.
President Louis Hill of the Great
Northern celebrated his 40th birth
day at Ashland last week. Who'd have
thunk It?
Ashland has a rose carnival com
ing, so has Grants Pass. Both" claim
to be the Rose City of southern Ore
jgon and both are right.
"Medford has no professional boost
er at a fancy salary, llko Eugene and
2losoburg. Instead, Bhe has what
these towns haven't every citizen a
booster.
Twenty-two thousand for twelve
acres of orchard is going some but
tho fruit produced pays Interest on
three or four times that amount of
xoln.
A total eclipse of tho moon, a view
of Halloy's comet at its most bril
liant stage, and a vivid electric storm
were among tho attractions Medford
offered last night.
Thlrty-flvo Medford sports are pre
paring to go to San Francisco to see
tho Jeffries-Johnson fight. It don't
make any difference what it is, from
revivals to nrlzo fights, Med ford's
there.
The LIvo Wire is tho namo of a
now semi-weekly newspaper in Pen
dleton. Ot tho making of newspa
pers there is no end and that 1b
why nine-tenths of them fall, and It
'Will be hard to keep oven a live wire
alive.
Queor Ideas of electric franchises
are being alrod In tho Ashland news
papers. One writer thinks rtho plant
should be turned over to the city
free in 15 years. Why not glvo tho
money to the city at once and savo
tho trouble and worry?
Taft plans to abollBh tho depart
ment of the interior and create tho
department of publlo. works. No one
an 'blame him after the Balllnger
Plnchot rumpus.
At this season of the year Oregon should join the ma
jority of the states of the Union in a systematic campaign
against that common disease-breeding pest, the-fly. What
to do is set forth by the state board of health as follews:
This insect lays its eggs preferably in piles of horse
manure, but in the absence of that, in decaying vegetables,
garbage cans, empty fish, fruit, and vegetable cans that
are such common decorators of back yards and vacant lots.
These eggs are long and white and hatch in a few hours.
The larvae, white maggots, grow rapidly, cast their skin
twice, and attain their full growth in five to ten days.
The outer skin then hardens, swells out, turns brown, and
within the true pupa is found. This stage lasts four or
five days when the fly emerges through a hole in the ante
rior end. The total cycle then of a fly is about ten days.
The number of eggs laid by a fly is about one hundred, and
it is estimated that, a pound of horse manure will furnish
a breeding place for twelve hundred flies. The refuse from
cow stables is rarely or never used by flies for depositing
ovae.
House flies cannot bite, as their mouths are only fitted
for lapping or procuring food by suction, and not piercing.
The stable fly is the biting fly and is only found in houses
before a rain. The two, however, are so similar in appear
ance that you cannot distinguish between them.
Flies are peculiarly susceptible to fungus diseases as
well as to parasitic diseases, and dies by the millions before
their allotted span of life is normally run, but their prolific
breeding keeps heir numbers each summer on the increase.
The part they play in communicating diseases cannot
be overestimated. Tuberculosis is perhaps the most com
mon and most fatal. While most of our typhoid is water
bora, still flies play a considerable part. The summer bow
el disorders of children are largely due to flies.
Not only in cities, towns and villeges should manure
heaps be removed or kept in tight containers, but every
farm barnyard should be sprayed with lime. Put chlo
ride of lime in every cuspidor. Remove every empty can
from back yards and cleanse them by throwing on a tire.
Clean up all piles of decaying vegetables and fruits. In
the cities keep tho garbage cans tightly covered and the
outside scrubbed clean. In country privies, sprinkle free
ly with chloride of lime or with Paris green mixed with
ashes. Let every house be screened. Swat the fly, is good
dictum, but far better, clean up and prevent his production.
kill or rob any more white men. Thoy
would stay on their own ground,
which for official purposes wns rec
ognized ns the north sido of tho river;
nnd thoy would cheerfully obov tho
commands of whatever individual
wns sent to them ns agent. To this
treaty the signature of eleven chiefs
wero appended, whoso bands were
bound thereby to obey its -stipulations.
But tho most troublesome nnd
desperate individuals of the native
tribes refused to be thus bound; and
tho strong parties known ns tho
Grave Creek and Soisco mountain
bands, refused to meet tho governor
or havo aught to do with tho treaty.
Something of an organization hnd
been given to tho department of In
dian affairs of Oregon, by tho crea
tion of a suporiutoudont thereof, who
hoing tho governor of tho territory,
held tho formor position ox-officio.
But tho administration of this de
partment not proving, for some rea
son, sntisfnutory to tho authorities
nt Washington, tho two offices wore
soparated, nnd Doctor Anson Dart
wns nppointod superintendent in
1851, soon after tho Roguo river
treaty was fanned. Judge A. A.
Skinner, formerly on tho territorial
bench, wns chosen ngout for tho In
dians of the southern part of tho ter
ritory nnd sot about his duties. Tho
judge wns n goutlomnti of tho strict
est honor nnd probity, but wns siiii
gulnrly unsuccessful in his dealings
with tho Roguo rivor bands. Within
n short timo nftor his accession to
office, tho terms of tho Onines
treaty being still recognized, a num
ber of white immigrants took up do
nation claims on tho north sido of
Roguo Rivor, within tho region in
formally set apart for tho .Indians.
Judge Skinner expostulated; but
commnnds and nppcnls to tho new
comers wero alike unheeded; the
settlors remained and tho Indians
took umbrngu nt what thoy consid
ered n breach of faith on tho part of
tho whites. It does not nppoar that
