"Gentlemen: Since I lmvc lot two consecutive croiw of fruit by frot, I lmvc been attempting to devise somo prncticul method of orchnnl hentinp ii ud hnvo n plan which, nlthoiigh Mmiewlmt cinbrjotic, I desire to sub mil to you. "The scientific nrchnrdi-t hnvc come to the conclusion that Miiudj imr with crude oil will ultimately de stroy the orchards because the soot stops up the ores of the leaves, pre venting the tree from securing the proer nutriment from the air. Some of them nlso mnintnin thai this henvy Mnoke prevents the polleniration of the fruit, diminishing or destroyng thn crop, nt least for the current year. However thi may be, it is uni versally rccogniied that the erode oil smudge nt least a great miNnnec, not only to the employee and resi- denlfl of the ondianl district, but to the community generally, including the cities, for the smoke blackens and diteolorB everything out of doom and within. "The plan I have is pimply the con struction of n Rinnll lamp like stove, somewhat similar to the oil stove sometime used for healing a single room. The construction contemplates a bow holding a gallon or mora with a burner and xheet iron chimney within nn larger sheet iron drum. This should have Becured some way to the top n tentacle like hanger which would revolve, making it adjustable to hang upon the limb somewhere near the center of the tree. The -wrchardists could by this means light the lamps of an evening, whenever the tempcr ntHre indicated danger of frost, hang the heaters in the trees, and retire with the full confidence that their crop would be secure from danger by frost. "It would b necessary, I presume to bum the ordinary kerosene unles sonio burner has been or can be dc- vNed for burning the crude oil with out smoke. Not being much of a me chanic I am not advised whether a hunter for crude oil is practical, but Ltbcliuve that even to burn ken!cne would incur les expense than the ordinary smudge t system. I have talked with two or three mechanics here, but so far have not found uny one who seems to be able to perfect the plan suggested and I feel con vinced Hint you, with abundant re sources and with most skilled me chanics at your command, can per fect this plun, thereby revolutionize the present system of orchard heat ing. "The details herein mny be too mea ger to convey the idea of the pro posed heater, but if you think the mutter feasible, after referring the same to one of your mechanics if nec essary I will explain it more in detail. "I should be glad, to hear from you at any rate, far I would not only like to save my own crop of fruit, but would like to do the whole country a benefit by assisting in the con struction of a practical method of healing orchards. Yours very truly, "W. K. Phipps." (Stuudurd Oil Compuny) "San Francisco, July 2. 1014. "Mr. V. K. I'hlpps, Medford, Oregon. "Dear Sir: Hefcrriug to your let ter of June 20th relative to orchard heating. Wc have carefully noted what you have to say regarding the use of crude oil in orchard heaters with the resultant soot and smoke. Also your suggestion us to the use of n small lamp like stove for the sumo purpose. "Wo have given tho orchard heating tpicKtiou considerable attention al though it is not the intention of this company to market an orehard heater, ami do not believe that the scheme of a heater liiirniii" keroKcno oil you hnva outlined anticipating the use of a heater burning refined oils yrjll bo satisfactory or economical. "Jliy tnamuueturers of orchard heaters' today are recognizing the no cesHity of putting out u heater that will bum jieuvy oils without giving off soot or sinokiJ and so far there lire several healers that have been perfected to this point. ''Wo understand thut tho Star Or clmrd Heater Co., 1705 Villi street, Oakland Calif., is prcpiucd to fur nish a healer that will hum tint heav ier oils and which will not give off sout MHd smoke.

Thompson, Connor I'nltotl States consul at Mcrlda, Yucatan. In a communication to the National Geo graphic foclety, nt Washington. D. C, describing Chlchen It in, tho homo of a forRottcn race, on the Peninsula of Yucatan, declares that the American people should nwaken to the fact that they have right at homo architecture essentially American and ruined structures every whit as Intere.MliK and massive ami possibly as old as those of other land, who boast that Americans must come to them. "Within these mysterious Ameri can ruins arc groat books, with pages ot Meno, writ in characters that no man may yet read," ho declares. "Arc the mysteries they hold, the wonderful facts that certainly lie sealed and mute within them, hidden from us, less Interesting to Ameri cans than arc the tales of Egyptian dynasties, the rites of Druids, ltomnn campings, or Saxon raldlngs? I think not." World's FIrt TcnnU Court Mr. Thompson describe what was protiahly tho first tennis or basket ball court on this hemisphere and possibly in tho world. "The mine! group of Chlchen Itta covers n spare of fully throo square miles," he says. "Over all this wide terltory are scat tered carved and squared stones, In countless thousands, fallen by the hundreds, while the formless re mains ami outlined walls of Iiuro structures falen Into ruin are recti on every side. Seven massive structures of carved stono and adamantine mor tar still tower erect, and almost in habitable. Their fascades sustain claim that Chlchen Itza Is one of the world's greatest monuments ot anti quity. "Several hundred feet to tho west of the Castle Temple rest two great parallel moles ot solid masonry, each 275 feet long, 34 feet wide and 25 feet high. Between these moles la the Ceremonial Court. This level co ntented space was probably the thea ter for the performance of certain rites and games of a ceremonial character. This belief Is borne out by the fact that a distance of six feet from the level upper surface of thn mole two great rings of stone were fixed into the perpendicular wall surface, directly opposite each other.' KfttJmatc of City's Arc Mr. Thompson declares estimates as to the age of the city vary from less than 2000 years to moro than 11,000 years. An idea of the intri cacies of the language of the people of the city Is given by the following quotation from a document found there. "I.a I u tzolan katun lukcl tt cab ti yotoch Nonoual," which Is translated to mean, "This Is a series ot epochs that elapsed from the tlmo ot their departure from the bouse of Nonoual In the land ot Tulapan."

All this mentis much to Medford, not only for competing railroad freight and passenger business, but touchinir close to Crater lake on one side nnd tin Grnhmk cave on the other, making Medford the city to both. Of cour-i uch a road will help Knelt Point, and a town some where near the mouth of Sucker creek yet to be built that will serve the local fanning nnd minim; com munities of that famous lllinoi val ley, but such town will bo tributary to the central city Medford. All thi leave Medford the city of ncecss to Crater lake on one side and the cave on the other accessible both by the present Southern Pacific and the new road. It will not only make Medford the center of these scenic attraction, hut will bring the lllinoi valley "with its rich farming laud nnd surrounding milling tribu tary to Medford. All thi deend on getting through the Onnlitirk moun tain, nnd it is known to but few that is easy up and down certain brauehe. of the main water courses and n short tunnel.
