Tho Agricultural college has prom
ised to assist us further in prepar
ing bulletins giving expert advice lo
the children as to how best to pro
duco tho different things named in
theso protects, such as bulletins on
potato growing, etc These will be
distributed through the clubs, and
will be of vajue to parents ns well as
to tho children. The work of organ
izing the clubs will fall largely upon
tho county school superintendents
working through the teachers. The
"University of Oregon, the Oregon Ag
ricultural college and tho Oregon
Normal school have promihed to send
out men in nddition to the field
workers from this office to help the
superintendents in this work.
Tho state fair board has appro
priated to this department $1000 to
bo distributed amonp the boys and
girls ns prizes at the state fair. The
hoard has also promised us $500 to
be used to entertain two boys from
ench county for tho wholo week of
tho fair. Tha boys will be under the
most careful supervision nud will
make a study of every department of
tho fair, including especially the
poultry and the stock judging. In
addition to this we expect to send
the ten children who stand highest
in tho state contest to the Panama
exposition at San Ftancisco.
Personally I feel that the great
success which the children's indus
trial work hns had in this state is
due to n great extent to tho encour
ngement which hns been given to the
movement by tho press of Oregon.
All of uk will appreciate most sin
cerely your continued support in
helping to organize this work, and
thus make tho work of our public
bchools more practical and efficient.
I bhall fend you from time to time
copies of all bulletins oh they are
published. For any editorial sup
port you may see fit to give this
movement, the stnto and the county
KiipcrintcudenU will bo truly thank
ful. J. A. CHURCHILL,
State superintendent.

Another important change In tho
distributors' plan, and tho first
steps toward which have been taken
in announcement ot the establish
ment ot a Portland office, Is tho
discontinuance of the payment ot a
salary to tho manager of tho Hood
River district under the gulso ot
manager." At tho
time of organization last year it
was generally understood that some
such arrangement was necessary in
order to bring Hood River district
Into tho Distributors' plan. Wllmer

Owing to tho fact that thcro is a
largo number or unclean barns and
open toilets within the city limits,
which servo as a breeding plaeo for
flies, and that flics aro a recognized
carrier of dlscaso, it is tho opinion of
this offlco that Medford should fol
low the example of other cities Dy
instituting a fly crusade. This would
Incur tho oxponso or ono man in tho
field all of tho time as well as bills
for printing posters, etc.
Many complaints havo como to this
office to the offect that garbage is
not removed regularly by tho scavan
gers. The city should have some
contract with thoso persons who haul
garbage, or hotter still a garbage re
moval system ot its own.
Respectfully submitted,
F. G. THAYER,
Health Officer,
was taken on the staff also as an
assistant sales manager at another
15000 per annum. Yakima contri
buted tho general manager, in tho
person of J. II, Robbins, tho Bine
qua non for which, from tho Hood
River standpoint was tho naming ot
II, F. Davidson as president, and In
chargo of tho New York end.
Yakima Pitying Pcrhnni
Tho sales manager at Spokane, II.
A. Perham, was taken from Yaki
ma, but as tho Yakima Valloy Fruit
growers association had promised
Mr. Porham $0000 this year and tho
Distributors' trustees would not
pay lilin over $5000, tho Yakima
district contributed $1000 towarJ
Mr, Perham's salary.
It Is understood that, now that
tho Distributors havo gotten fairly
under way, have established them
selves as a going, prosperous con
cern, election of officers, employ
ment ot sales managers and other
employes and adjustment or salarlos
will bo mado on a business basis, ro
gardjesa of tho individual wishes of
