hospltnt where It was stated ho had
a chance to recover.
According to the police George
nrtiinflcld and Ills wife quarreled
several days ago and tho woman left
her homo. The son Is alleged to
have called his father to task for the
separation and the men are re
ported to have quarrelled throughout
the night Jn their apartments In the
south end.
At daylight today sounds of scuff
ling .and falling furniture In tho
Urumflold apartment aroused neigh
horn and police wcro called. When
the doors were broken down, younj
Ilrumflcld lay gasping for breath, his
throat gaplni; from a four-Inch slit.
The father lay on the opposite side
of the room, his own head almost
bevered and a dripping razor In his

The room was a shambles. Walls
and furniture were blood-spattcrcd.
The bodies of both men wero bathed

OUR SALUBRIOUS CLIMATE.

A southorn Orogtin during the frigitl wave just passed
titan it was horo in Eugene. The olTieial temperature
Jvoord is authority tor this statement."
This from the envious lOugene (luard.
Yes it is a little colder in Med ford during the winter
time than it is in Eugene. That's. why' it's healthier.
That's why it is possible to grow the perfect apple and the
perfect pear for which frost seems just as essential as
sunshine. - n
The seasons arc sharper marked in the Rogue River
valley than in the 'Willamette. The rainfall, 27 inches as
against f2 inches, is about one-half. There are many more
sunshiny , bright days. The altitude is higher, the air
erisper and more spievr-not only more salubrious, but
more delightful.
The mountain atmosphere makes the percentage of
humidity in the Rogue. Kivor valley lower than in the Wil
lamette valley. The thermometer may read a trifle higher
m summer and a trifle lower in winter, but the heat is not
as stifling and the cold is not as penetrating due to the
humidity.
During the recent cold wave, Bedford experienced the
lowest temperature in 24 years. It actually dropped to 10
degrees above zero. IBut the davs were britrlit and sun
shiny, the air bracing and
life. At the samo time, the thermometer at luugcne stood
a few degrees higher and the greater humiditv made the
cold more penetrating.
Sunshine, no matter how cold the weather, is prefciv
able to clammy fog and dreary drizzle. We'll take the
Rogue River valley climate every time, in preference to
mar or any otiicr region in the country and we havo tried
them all. You feel bully the year around.
The following is the official record of the temperature
at .Medford for the past 2', veal's. Can you beat it'
