in which ho
bluntly sots forth facts that wo all know.
Medford is n fly-cursed city. There nro more flies
than in almost anv other city in the state. Thuy are suf
ficient in quantity to be a public nuisance as well as pub
lic danger. And their existence is proof sufficient of the
laxness of the city authorities, particularly tho city
health officer, in enforcing the laws.
There are many fly-breeding rubbish heaps that litter
vacant lots, back yards and alleys. There aro uncared-
for manure heaps. There are iiltny garbage piles. Tiioro
aro unsanitary kitchens and restaurants, caudy-iuaking
establishments and creameries.
Mayor Kifert and his administration have the oppor
tunity 'to nmko Mcdford n flyloss city. A little of the
mayor's customary energy will accomplish the desired
result. By a vigorous campaign in this direction the
mayor will greatly benefit the community and make it a
bcl'ter: place and a healthierjdace toreside in.

OF
rENDLETON, Ore, Aug. 15. "It
need occasion no surprise to hear of
tho Increased numbers who want to
attend tho Hound-Up at Pendleton,"
nays Wm. McMurray, general passen
ger agent for tho Q. W. It. & N. In
nn Interview. "It Is distinctly tho
show of the continent in tho events It
features. I do not mean to detract
from other performances given In tho
different cities, but thero Is only one
Pendleton, and ono Itound-Up. There
Is enough thrill In any ono of tho sov
oral performances given at Pendle
ton to glto tho ticket holder his
money's worth, and tho management
throws in enough additional thrills
to mako It tho greatest show of Its
kind on earth. I nm told that n
number of new and Interesting fea
tures arc to ho added this year.
Personally I do not see how the
Hound-Up can ho Improved, as here
tofore given, but tho management Is
always looking for something new
and they Invariably round it up."
How Ashland Views the Road Bonds

I
NEW YOnK, Aug. 15. Maurice
n. McLoughlin, H. X. Williams and
II. H. Hackctt, with tho Davis ten
nis cup in proud possession, ar
rived hero today on the liner La
Franco. Williams and McLoughlin
will go at onco to Newport, It. I.,
where McLoughlin will defend tho
American championship titlo.
Tho county court has called n spe
cial election for Soptembor ninth.
Announcement of tho call Is made
elsewhere In this Issue. Head It.
The object Is to voto on tho Isuanco
of $500,000 bonds for highway build
ing. Tho issuo Is fo tho specific
purpose of constructing fifty-two
miles of hard surfaced highway from
tho California lino across Jackson
county to tho Josephine county lino
In Oregon. Doing for this specific
ourposo tho Issuo cannot, under tho
law. be spent otherwise. Tho propo
sition Is fair ft:ul logical.
Tho road, is built, will pass
through Ashland, Talent, Phoenix,
Mcdford, Central Point, Oold Hill
and Itoguo Mver. Tho cry of "sec
tionalism" can not therefore bo raised
against It. It is simply Jackson
county's contribution to the Pacific
highway.
Maturity of tho bond Issuo Is
spread out over a sufficient number
of cars so that tho burden does not
fall hard upon tho taxpayer. Tho
earliest payment will bo ten years
hence. I)y that tlmo good roads will
havo brodght thousands of settlors
who will help pay for the roads. Long
before tho last payment la made, thir
ty years hence, they will bo paying
for similar roads atl over tho count;
and doing It gladly.
Fully one-third of tho proposed
road Is in Ashland trado territory.
In Ashland trado territory tho start
at building will begin this fall. If tho
bonds carry. Construction work will
bo undor supervision of tho stato en
gineer. It will, therefore, ho prop
orly and economically built. It will
connect with California's eighteen
million dollar s)stcm of highways
and bring thousands of' tourists to
Oregon.
Ashland as tho gatoway city to
Oregon should lead Jackson coun
ty in enthusiasm for tho road ns
planned. Tho county needs It and
Ashland needs It ot only to luro
tho tourist to our splendid cllmnto
and scnory hut also for tho market
ing of our crops and development of
our resources and tho peopling of our
idle acres. It Is an Investment that
wo must make It wo arc to hold our
own with other localities.
Present roads aro not good enough
for people who havo been used to
better ones elsewhere and unless wo
glvo them better hlglnvava they will
pass us by. Tho fact that redskin,
goldsecker, soldier, pioneer, stage
driver, tourist has tolled over tho
samo routo for nioro than half a cen
tury does not signify that grass may
not grow over tho old tratl tomor
row. Tho world Is moving. Thoro aro
other sottlomnnU now, asldo from tho
old trail. They appear to tho east
and to tho west. They aro new and
vigorous. Thoy will tnko what they
can. without apology to tnoso who
sleep. Ashland should support tho
$500,000 bonding Issuo as it stands
and support It unanimously. She
cannot afford to risk losing tho Pa
cific Highway to Central Oregon or
the coast country.

How to Obtain a Good
Crop of Hairy Vetch
The department of ngrieulturc has
just puhli.-lied tho toM of hairy
vetch seed made by tho seed labor
atory hiht j ear. Two hundred and
seven, or ove'r one-half, of the J101
samples of seed examined were
cither misbranded or adulterated.
Thero was no hairy vetch seed in
seventeen samples and tho others
contained varying amounts of
spring vetch nnd wild vetches.
Besides being misbranded nnd
adulterated, seed often germinates
poorpy. When tho (iinlity of the
seed which is being sold is taken
into consideration it is not surpris
ing that a poor stand is frequently
reported. Hnirj- vetch frequently
docs not do well the first timo. It
is seeded on nccount of a lack of
"nitrogen fixing" bncteriii on its
roots. These bacteria uie tho nitro
gen i nthe nir which tho plant can
not nho alone. They pan be supplied
either by inoculating the soil from
n field whero hairy vetch h.is grown
well or bj inoculating tho seed with
a puro culture of the bacteria. Pure
cultures for experimental purpojes
ran be obtained without charge from
the department of ngriuulture.
While hairy vetch is ono of tho
best winter annual leguminous coovr
crops, nnd on account of its hardi
ness ndapted to growth in tho north
ns well ns the south, frequent fail
ures occur. Failures can he avoid
ed if these suggestions nro followe-1:
1. Use "hairy vetch seed. which is
not adulterated or misbranded.
'J. Use hairy vetch seed which
germinates well.
H. When seeding laud to hairy
vetch for the first timo either inoc
ulate tho seed with a pure cullurn of
tho "nitrogen filing' organism or la
oculato tho soil with soil on which
