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

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.

lion of the trolley line extension is to bo nndtjrtnkon

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

what thoy wcro talking about.

Captain C C. dull of Ashland who
said thero woro getting to bo so many

that his tiephuw, John Harden

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

onable that thui'o wouldn't bavo been

Certainly not. And how It caino

was only a short time ago that a

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. PKUCY WKl.LS,

nnllE federal government has issued a report upon the
Friedinann treatment for tuberculosis, so widelv ex
ploited a year and a
called cure is a fake,
humanitv.
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.
I SSI and even ho was therefore bom

whose bear stories In the Ashland

entertaining. 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

"Two or threo years ago I read an
account of the pioneer reunion lu
Ashlaud lu which Is was stated that
Gwynn Hutler wns tho first white

that Is not correet either.
"I am writing this to put the mat

and Cannon the republican nominees for 1JJ1G.
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.
Doth Penrose and Cannon deserve the honor proposed.
I3oth have long public records, every act of Avhieh proves
their loyalty to reaction. Uoth are in hearty accord with
the "rejuvenated" republican party with progressive
opposition eliminated. Doth stand for n restoration of the
golden age of privilege.

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.
More than that tho minutes of tho
school board contains no record of
there er having been an election
to establish a high school.
Again the school board havo been
paying a principal $100 per month
and havo now Increased his salary to
$110 per month, who does not even
hold a high school certificate,
At an election held some tlnio last
npilng to Introduce manual training,
(Krom the SirlngfMd .Mass, Republican.)
Tho fact that It was the night bo
foro election did not deter l.V) mem
bers of the Spring-Mold l-'Uli mid Game
association from gathering at the
Highland hotel last evening for tho
first meeting or the season, ami all
wero more than tvpnld by thu flno
Illustrated lecture, given by William
II. Flnloy, chief game warden of tho
stnto of Oregon. Ills subjuct was
"Tho Slate, tho Sportsmnn and tho

finest sets of moving pictures of wild

Ho first showed tlio' great state

Tho last reel showed tho fisherman's

Kelly and Putnam of that state
played a prominent part. Tho pic
tures of the farm woro Intensely In-
number votod who wero not entitled
to voto niuhlng tho election Illegal.
Tho result Is the purchase of proper

overhauling of the old church build

Then wo aro paying high salaries
to nine teachers to Instruct 151
pupils, ncaily IT pupils to the teach,
or, when flvo touchers nt tho utmost
should do It all. Just think of It,
Is It any wonder our taxes nro high?
At tho special election thero was an
attempt made to establish a kinder
garten school, but fortunately it was
voted down.
Tho school board uskea uh to voto
a special tax of flvo mills, claiming
they could run the school on that
amount, but ono Phoonlxlto who can

The sight of hundreds or salmon

and tho methods used to capture these
fish that artificial methods might bo
