Cm son, horticultural oommis-Moner for llio third district, with headquarter nt (Jranls Pa, appeared before the slate horticultural board Friday mill replied to petitions presented by fruit growers of Jnckson iiml Jo-i'iiLinc counties asking for hw resignation. Although the hoard, after listening to liij defeur-o, tool; the matter under advisement, liis removal seems cer tain fur two members Governor West ami Secretary of State Oleott frnnkly Mated to him that the on'y solution for tho problem confronting Iiim would be Tor iiini to rrMgn, and lired Iiini to offer bis roMgnnttoi:. This, however, lie positively refused to do, t'.eclnring that the fniit indus try in bouthcrn Oregon needed his (icrviccH, and that, fhouhl a weaker man be selected, tho oichunh, of two counties would be dcMroved bv blight. Tim charges against Cnn-on xnte that he does not employ the !n(eM bcicntific methods, and he is ncouo.l of general inactivity. The petitions were Mgucd by approximately 220 orchnrdists and represented 'J 1.00 J acres. Implying to these elinitjoi, Caron declared that he was fully qualified for the poMtion and that in his fight to save the orchards of two counties from blight he had beer, too iictivo and vigorous." Thin latter was tho cause of the eliurgcs, lio said lie lias held the position for eighteen yenrs. It pays a salary of 001) r. year. "Tho board can relievo me, but I will never resign," Carson declared. nplljOaiinouiiconHMit by Rponoer S. Hullis thai const nic- lion of the trolley line extension is to bo nndtjrtnkon in the near future is good iKnvs to Hertford people, not so niueh heeause of the need of a trollov line us Iieennse. il in dicates the faith of a shrewd investor and eapitalist in tho future of the eojnniunity at a time when tho condition of the tnut market has i)rotlueed more or less pessimism. M Kullis having made large investments in mining property, naturally believes that it is the development of mining that will make Medford the largest eitv between Sacramento and Portland, lie is probably right, for one mine like the Hlue Ledge, when operated,' means a larger payroll than thousands of acres of orchard and farm pro vide. There is no question but that this region is one of the highest nnneralr.ed districts in tho world, as well as one of the most neglected by miners. Jt has yielded close to a hundred millions of dollar in placer gold', but other forms of mining have received but scant attention. Without doubt, the next few years will sou a revival of mining activ ity in all lines. In the meanwhile, the best development of the valley can be accomplished by intensive farinimr. Don't nlan't orchards on land unsuited, but make it pay dividends with other crops. Make every orchard carry itself upon bi products so that an off year in fruit will not materially aftect the prosperity of the valley. There is prospect of the speedy construction of tin irri gation system the first requisite for intensive tanning. Every one should join hands to make its construction a possibility, for without it the valley will never bo able to maintain the proper balance of trade. An irrigation system is a stepping stone to permanent prosperity. ' Who Was the First White Child Born in Jackson County? (From tho Ashland Iteeonl.) Ou October twenty-first tho llccord culled from tho Grants Pass Courier a story regarding the death of Mar tin Angel which stated that ho wan the first malo whlto child horn In Jackson county. Shuu then wo have been "hauled over tho coals" by a ntittilior of pioneers who know better. Wo thought at tho tluio that a man fifty-four scum old could hardly bo tho first white child born In Jackson county but presumed tho Orants Pass Courier and tho Medford Mall Til buno, which copied tho story, knew what thoy wcro talking about. The first reiiioimtranco cnino from Captain C C. dull of Ashland who said thero woro getting to bo so many first-born whlto males In Jackson county that ho was unnblo to keep count of them, lie stated tho fact that his tiephuw, John Harden whose father was hilled by tho In itio first main whlto child born In Jackson county. Now, with all duo respect to tho dead, I want to say that It auyoiio will stop to think for otio second tboy will sco that the statement Is not correct. Jackson county was settled by both men and women and many fnmlllmi as eaily uh tsoa. Docs It look reas onable that thui'o wouldn't bavo been a boy born In threo or four veins. Certainly not. And how It caino about that this claim wiim made for Mai tin Alltel Is a iu story. It cer tainly was not iiiiulo by him, as It was only a short time ago that a irieint or initio, who was well ac quainted with him and talked with him often, told iui that Martin Annul lold him that John (Irlffln was tho first white boy born In Jackson coun ty and nshed mo If thin was correct.

HOMELESS GIVEN AID BY SCHOOLS THANKSGIVING Offlco of CoUnty School Superintendent Jacksonville, Oregon, Nov. 11. To Teachers of Jackson Ceunty: As Thanksgiving day approaches it Is an opportune time for you to call tho attention of your pupils to tho great work that Is being done for tho homeless children of our laud by tho Uojb and Glrlq Ala society of Oregon, and to glvo them an opportunity to lessen tho burden of those less for- tuuato than themselves by sending noinothing In tho way of money, food, clothing, and other good cheer as a Thanksgiving offering to the boys aud girls who nro so unfortunate as to have no home. Tho Hoys and Ulrls Aid Society Is n non-sectarian organization, existing only for the caiibo of humanity. Uh business is to rescue the homeless, neglected or abused children of Ore gon, aud provide for them until suit able homes can bo found. At Thanks giving time tho society Is the beneflc Jury of tho public tchools and were It not for tho donations from tho boys and girls of tho schools, these homo loss children would have to forego inun of the necessities of life, to say nothing of tho luxuries. Anything tho children of your school have to offor In the way of money, cast-off clothing, or non-porlshablo food of any kind will bo gladly received. Tho railroad companies, I understand, carry unythlng billed to the Iioys and Girls Aid society, free of chargo. Ad dress "Hoys am CJIrls Aid Society, East 29tli and Irving streets, Port land, Orogon." I havo furnished tho superintendent of tho society with a list of the teach ors of tho county, and you will per haps receive a communication direct from htm. Most sincerely, J.

As soon as Dr. Friedniann arrived in this country from Germany the United States public, health service took up the investigation of the alleged remedy. A board was appointed consisting of Surgeon John F.' Anderson, the director ot the hygienic laboratorv, and Surireon A. Sl. Stimson, to make a thorough study of the cure. Its report has just been made public. The claims inside by Dr. Friedniann are proven to hsrvo been without foundsttion. 2sTot only hstve the alleged cures been refuted, but cases of actual harm inflicted by the use of the treatment sire reported in a majority of csiscs, although Friedniann claimed the harmlessncss of his trestt nicnt in sill cases. The bosird observed the effect of the treat inent in ninety-tour cases of tuberculosis all thstt it could secure from Dr. Friedniann. hi addition, extensive studies of the orgsuiisnt used in the prepsirsttion of the vaccine, both by cultural methods sind inoculation, proved thsit the organ ism wsis not harmless, sis claimed, and that it had no cur ative merit. It was found that the injection of the organism in smi mals causes stb'secss formation in over 25 per cent of the animals treated. Animals treated with the organism rabbits nucl guinea pigs cither before or subsequent to in fection with virulent tubercle bacilli, developed sis si rule an increased susceptibility to tuberculosis. The treatment did not show either curative or protective properties in monkeys against tuberculosis.

The third pioneer to take up the in nocent little news story which wo swlxd from tho papers down the val ley was John l.

Mr. Gilffln's letter on tho subject Is given below-; "I Just read In tlur Itecord the ac count of tho death of Martin Angel, a pioneer of Jnckson county, In which tho statement Is made that ho was of Col.

There csin be no question but that Penrose and Cannon are the logical republican nominees. Each represents in himself what the party stands for in the nation special privilege. The triumph of Penrose and Cannon sit the recent elec tion has been hailed with joy by republicsins throughout the country as si rejuvenation, cleansing and purification of the G. O. P. Even the local county committee continu ously bubbles forth its ecstasy. Penrose, pupil, protege mul successor of .Matt Qusty, is tne undisputed leader ol thc-scnatc republican member ship, forty senators out of ninety-six. Cannon, comman der of the old guard of special interests, will be the unchal lenged leader of the 197 republicans in the house. There can be no dispute regstrding party leadership.

To the Taxpayers of Phoenix School District Herein nro a few facts pertaining to tho Phoenix sphool which the tax payer would do well to ponder over and perhaps take action on. Wo aro, that is, tho town of I'hoenix, endeav oring to run a so-called high school at tho expense of tho surrounding neighborhood. At tho election held November 7, tho chairman of tho school board stated that for one year they had paid a teacher $100 per month to teach four nunlls. a fine oxamnln of ecu. rhonl"' Hint. Tho attopduneo nt pres- thoso come from adjacont districts, one of which has to havo u class maintained for only himself.
