C. Cate, county pathologist, whose men have been inveHtlKating the loss at various or chards this morning, occassloned by I be electric storm of Friday after noon, which was followed by a third of an Inch rainfall. . Orchards of the 401 district seem to hav0 been the Heaviest loosers, wltlh loss of nartletts running from 2.1 per cent on the 401 to GO per cent on the Vilas and Westerlund proper ties, where picking had not yet begun. Hear Creek orchards' loss will not run over 10 per cent and the Marshall orchard to the southwest of the town tho same. Near the hills on tho western side of the valley, there is practically no loss. Hose, pears are little hurt. Anjous were In places hurt more than Ilurt letts. Coinlcn fell heavily, ipilte C.en- erally In tho districts where llartletl losses were heavy. The young stock through the valley seems to have Buffered most. An Idea of the money loss Is hard to give, according to Cate. in places where pears fell on soft ground, many of them can ho packed and the rest canned. Many trees of the later vu- letles were overloaded and will be actually benefitted as the fruit will slzo rapidly and where only medio cre quality with the heavy yield ight be expected, those that remain in the trees will pack as extra fancy. Apples were but slight sufferers. The only explanation that can be given lor the wind, which for a pe riod of flvo minutes, reached u ve locity of over 00 miles an hour, iR that during the day, while wo had a steady wind from the northwest, a wind from tho southwest came In from over tho mountains. These two air currentH, coming together about flvo o'clock resulted la a sudden whip to tho south east. There was no Indication from the Portland weather office of the coming storm and the condition seems to have been purely local. The barometer, which was steady all day, rose about five o'clock 10 In less than five minutes. CRATER LAKE (In account of the inclement weath er ami short notice, only a small crowd atlcndeil the program given by visiting I'ythians, members of Ihe su preme lodge at the K. of I', hall lasl night. The main feature of Ihe program was the illustrated lecture of (ieorgc W. I'eniiinian, of lloslou, lecturer of the supreme lodge, who spoke on the origin of Pylhianisin. Air. I'enniiaaa showed entire familiarity with his subject using fur illustrations slides he had taken of Hie story of Damon ami Pythias in Sicily. Woven iulo the lecture were a series of views of ('rater Lake, given Mr. I'cniiiinan by Will (I. Steel, superintendent of ('ru ler l.nkc park. These will be used by Mr. l'ciiniinan in his lectures In Ihe en-l. Mr. l'ciiniinan, as were Ihe oilier members of the party, was load in his prai-es of Oregon hospitality nnd Oregon scenery, ('ruler Lake, be said, could not be compared to any other natural wonder of Ihe world, il occupies a place by itself and no bais of comparison can be found.

Few Medforlics appreciate the ben efit that will accrue to this cltv and county from ;he editorial convention recently held here. There are two reasons lu parllcular why this is so. They do not huve access to Ihe va rious newspapers published over tho stale, hence are not reading the large number of exceedingly warm tributes being paid tu Mi'dford and her people on uecoiuit of Hid entertainment furn ished them. Moreover they do not know of a few unusual circumstances which particularly Impressed our vis itors to our advantage. Successfll Convent lou One of these circumstances is the fact that the association had been struggling against an apathy among its members which kept the attendance it annual conventions way down to a discoiiraglugly small figure. Conven tions had been one like another with a lack of Inlerest which was reflected in the diminishing attendance. The Med ford convention, on account of the ex-, ceptioual entertainment offered, stirred up this interest anew and brought, out an attendance nearly 100 per cent larger than the next largest in the as sociation's history. (There were Kt-l accredilcd representatives here; the next largest was 72.) The officers of the association are elated over this revival of interest and credit Ihe public spirited citizens of Medford as being largely responsible for It. Again, a fact Utile known locally Is well known among the visiting news paper men, and that. Is that last, year another city undertook to enterlala the association with a trip to Crater Lake ami a few months before the date set, had to give it. up and the convention was hastily arranged in a city In the northern part of the slate. So Med ford's success was in contrast with an other city's lack of success. i Furthermore, newspaper men are constantly mixed up In community en tertaining and advertising stums in every section' of the state, and know how hard II, is to successfully pull off n hard one. It was freely commented among llieni while here that hardly another city In the slate would attempt nch an effort. More than that, the visitors learned of the -ipecial hard- . 1 1 i t wi rked by the accidental diilins of the anr.uul Kill's picnic fbr the rauie d ly us their trip 'to Crater 1.,'ve, and the entire, success of both ar'i'airs dem onstrated the town's abllitj to enter tain. Visions Well I'lejuscil The convent ton brought a very rep resentative gathering of newspaper men from every section of tho siale. They went homo more than pleased, as evidenced In the number of flattterlng il'. tires appearing In the state press nli",'iuy. And II must be rcnicmbeied that, when they praise, they speak to from 2(1011 to Coot) people each. Credit tn Whom Credit Is Due The people of Medford and the coun ty are indebted to the publl, spirited citizens wlio n.ede. this succesj possi ble. 1 No one person or oanlzatlon die it but a generous response on the part of all requested to co-opvutc made it a complete, biiccos.i. The commercial club, through u coin uilttee consisting of President Hill, Messrs. Lutta, Kosenbatim. Hoon and Connor had charge of the trip over the Slsklyous to the California line and conducted in admirable sluice. It was a valuable piece of work, for the county needs the help of the rest of the state In finishing that rond. The Greater Medford Club, with with Mrs. Schellfelln nd Mrs. Mun dy In the lead, gave the vlaillng ladles a splendid luncheon Saturday noon followed by an auto ?lde undo." liie auspices of the College Women's club with Mrs, AlcCurdy, Mrs. Dr. Thayer and Mrs. Cal l; I n in charge. Holh were completely successful. ,'1Vo regret Mint we huve not a Hut of the generous cit izens ('outrunning Ui those two affairs, but they did their share toward n. lik ing the convention successful. The University Club entertained the editors most acceptably Saturday noon at luncheon. Their delightful club house offers unusual opportunity for functions of tills kind and their hos pitality was much npprociaied. Tho hotels of the city most gener ously offered free accommodation to the entire list of visitors. John Wes terlimd of the Hotel Holland was re sponsible for this suggestion, with Messrs. Mohr of Hotel Medford and Bell of Hotel Nash heartily seconding the idea.- The program at Hie banquet Rater day evening was one of the finest era heard in Ihe city, thanks to the con tributions of Mr. (ieorge Andrews, Miss Florence Hazelrlgg, Mrs. lsnacs, Win Vawler and Fletcher Fish, whose singing was good as usual a real com pliment; and the Instruineiunl music during the serving by Messrs. Unwell, Root, Waite and Alleu and Miss Clarke. The poem by Dick Posey was out) of the hits of the convention as evidenced by the numerous requests for it In printed form. The stunt oy Messrs. Jerome mid Hiichter was fine. The Colony Club, through Mrs. Pat terson, Mrs. Fiero and Mrs. Frank Owen decorated the banquet hall most tastefully, and Itlaiuo K:i,m donated place cards, Gads Bros, the diayage, and an incidental expense fund was contributed by three of the Medford banks. The feature which made the con vention conspicuously successful was the trip ) Crater Lake. II is no easy matter to take 12S guests, a total par ly of 170, on sucn a jaunt. But It was done without a hitch or unfortunate accident, thanks to the generosity of those contributing cars, as follows: First National Bank, Jackson County Bunk, Medford Nallonal-PVtnlr, It R.

Just Unloaded A Carload of The Buick Six Model D-Six-45 A knowledge of motor ear princi ples leads the prospective, buyer 1o this car as surely and inevitalily'as the needle seeks tile pole: There is no greater fallacy than the oft expressed one that "any standard motor car is a safe buy." When a. member of a man's family becomes ill he doesn't turn to the classified direc tory in the telephone book and send for "any regular doctor." Indeed not ! lie sends for that doctor about whom he has knowledge. And knowledge of motor cars is the guiding principle by which you should be actuated in making a purchase. Jt is the principle that tho Buick Motor Company is extremely anxious for you to accept in reaching your decis ion. ' A knowledge of motor ear princi ples will lead you to the conviction that the Buick Valve-in-Ilead motor is Ihe most powerful and efficient mo tor mailt the most powerful because it, conserve?' and uses a higher per centage of the heat energy contained iri gasoline than any other motor,' and the most efficient because it is so con structed that each fresh charge of gas oline vapor taken into each cylinder is not diluted through mixture with por tions of the dead rases remaining from the last previous explosion, as is the ease with other types of motors. The power and efficiency, because of these reasons, is approximately one fifth more than in other types of mo tors of the same cylinder dimensions. You will regret it if you allow your self to be stampeded into buying a motor car. Make sure that you un derstand the fundamentals. You can Very easily acquire an understanding if these underlying mechanical princi ples which it i snecessary to have in order to buy a motor car intelligently. We will be glad indeed to help you acquire this knowledge at anv time. Price $1170 f. o. b. Medford. ' Price $1170 f.o.b. Medford POWELL AUTO CO.
