During the month of August American sirloin of beef
sold ,fov 10VL cents in London and 28 cents in New York."
None of tbe rot nbout middlemen, increase in gold pro
duction, great rise in wages mid similar insincere twaddle
explains this difference m price. The only explanation
that holds water is the tariff.
Great Britain levies no tariff duties on meat products.
in tne .London market the American beet trust must meet
competition from Australia, New Zealand and South
America. The tariff protects the trusts from such compe
tition at home. With tho tariff abolished American meats
would soil at home for no more than abroad.
Of course when these facts are made known, the shriek
goes up that the trust cannot pay decent wages without
the privilege of robbing the people.
But this shriek is the biggest lie in all the tariff argu
ments. The census shows that the 'average wage paid in the
packing industry is T70 a year, a trifle over 10 a week.
How high a tariff is needed to enable the trust to pay such
wages? All told, there, were S9,?28 wage earners em
ployed in the year 1909 in the packing industry, less than
oue-renm oi one per cent ot tlie population.
Tf, once a year, a tax of about GO cents a head were
levied on the meat consumers of the United States, that
ia. wmiitt raise a sum equal to tne total wages paid bv th
beef trust Yet the tariff enables the trust to tax mea
onsumers moro than that everv week in the vear.

' Tho circuit court for Josephine
county for tho present term adjourn
ed Saturday, with a record of convic
tion, except in one case where the
jury decided to turn the defendant
over to Portland authorities to face
a heavier charge. The grist of the
cases was as follows, being prosecut
ed by District Attorney Mulkey:
Lee York, convicted of bootleg
ing In the justice court a month ago,
haying appealed his case, was con-victed-again
in the circuit court and
fined $100, with Jail sentence of
forty-five days.
t S. C. .Hayden was convicted of as
sault on a six-year-old girl with in
tent to commit a statutory crime, was
sentenced to a term of from three
to ten years In the penitentiary.
Ed'Stoneraan of Leland, convicted
last Fdbruary of selling liquor, on
appeal was convicted and fined $200
and given a jail sentence of twenty
days.
J W. TJ. McGoon was" tried for pass
ing a worthless check for $20. The
jury hung in this case, and as the
officers from Portland asked the re
lease of Magoon for trial for a much
larger offense of tho same nature,
the case was continued until the re
sult of the Portland case Bhould be
determined.
J. B. itlch was Indicted for poly
gamy and is held under $1000 bond,
dwaltlng the reconvening of the
court.

that 20,000 acres of land would como

This was the bulletin issued at a
hospital here today where Miss Ethel

newsboy were the principals in a
unique skin-grafting operation.
JHss Smith was seriously burned
when a spark from a motorcycle
ignited her clothing. Physicians an
nounced she would die unless some

fice skin to bo used in a grafting
operation. Rujjh volunteered.
"My leg," ho explained, "is of hut

Th nmniul reunion of tho South,
orn Oregon Pioneer Avwointloii, hqld
nt tho court house lu Jiuiksolivlllo
Thursday, is generally imiiurtinecd
one of tho most successful in tho
history of tho orgnuirntioii. At hntli
morning hud nftoruooli meetings tho
large court room, tnstofitlly deoornt
vd for tho ncciitjiou with huhuer,
hunting uud flowers, was filled with
a throng of pioneers, unlive souh and
dmightors, rclntivcs" nnd frieuds'who
u4Pittuk to tin honor to the hardy,
nion and whmen who suffered and
toiled to ninko ' Rogue river valley
what it Is today. Tho program
throughout was interesting uud e.-w
eeptionally well rendered, musical
numbers by local singers being os
jMjeinlly enjoyable, as was also a
rvoitation by Mm I.ula Williams, en
titled "Tho Old Doerted House." '
The meeting was oHned by Pres
ident C. O. Uooknuui, who in a few-
well chosen words ninde the visitors
welcome. Invocation, pnuiouueed
by Rev. Weston- F. Shields of Med
ford, was followed by voeitl initio, a
ircitntion nnd a utcinlirllil- uddrtws,
read by W. It. Coleman, assisted by
containing brief ski-tehes of tho lives
of Mrs. Susanna Ferguson, Mrs.
Klir.nbe.th T'Vault Kenny, David
Iiinnt T. K.-Anderson, Snmuel Robin
son and Mr. Moore, pioneers who
hnve died since the prvct'eding met
ing of the association.
Following n will rendered solo by
Hal Harrington, Rev. Paul S. Randy
delivered an address in which he
drew a comparison between tho char
acters of the pioneer of the early
fiO's ami the man of today nnd oulo
gized tho ploneor and the work thiy
accomplished. In conclusion Mr.
Handy said:
"The pioneers of southern Oregon
will live In history, not by things they
have left and will leave, but by whpt
Hiey really were nnd are. Their
vork is nearly ,cotnpletcd, tho bur
den is fast being shifted to other
workers. What n heritage we are re
ceiving. What a foundation you
have laid for others to bulla tiMii.
"The memory .of your words and
deeds will ever he kept fresh and
green iu our minds and hearts, urg
ing us on to greater and still greater
achievements."
After "Memory Hells" had been
fcung by s")eclal"Cfiuesl and a com
mittee appointed to confer on elec
tion of officers for the ensuing year,
the morning exercises were closed by
addresses ably delivered by C. V.
Beekman and W. It. Colcmnn.
At noon a substantial dinner to
which ample justice was done was
served tho pioneers nnd native sops
and daughters nt I. O. O. F. hall.
Too much praise cannot he given the
local cabin of native daughters fur
the capable manner in which the ar
rangements of the day were curried
oiit. Every detail passed off with
out u hitch.
In the afternoon Dr. Harry Lane
of Portland, a grandson of General
Joseph Lane, delivered an able and
interesting address. Dr. Utile's
nnmo endears him to southern Ore
gon pioneers as a great majority of
them had fought redskins with his
Srandfnther. Among his listeners
'was Captain John X. Miller, one
of General Lane's officers and who,
with, many others present Thursday,
fought n( the battle of Tnble Rock
where General Lane was wounded
nhd ihe Indian war exterminated.
Dr. Lnnc told tho pioneers that while
on n visit to a Willamette valley hop
yard recently ho met a dtlughter of
