They asked the reichstag to support
THE GERMAN CRISIS.
AN AMSTERDAM dispatch states that according to!
news brought by arrivals from Berlin belief in liberal
circles there is that Chancellor Michaelis is merely a stop
li:i who will prepare the way for something in the way of
a dictatorship with Ceneral Ludendorff in supreme con
trol. As near a.s can be judged from this distance, it matters
but little who composes the German ministry. They are
but figure heads to be dropped and replaced according to
the exigencies of the occasion.
The government of Germany is a military dictatorship
with Ludendorff and Ilindeiiburg in command. Germany
is divided into military districts, each ruled over by a gen
eral who makes and enforces his own laws, subject only to
the orders of the general staff. The civil laws are sus
pended except as permitted by the army organization to
remain in force.
The reichstag may talk, an escape valve for popular
discontent, but it is without, real authority and can be ov
er ridden by the crown. Ministries may be decapitated
va a sop to public opinion, but the people of Germany
have no more to say alnmt the ending of the war than they
had about its beginning. The army .organization rules.
The military has promised victory to Germany. Its
power rests on this promise. As long as it delivered the
goods, its power was unquestioned. Now that it is not
making good, its prestige is waning. No sacrifice is too
great if it will strengthen its bold hence Von Bethmann
ilollweg, Zimmerman, and others are sacrificed to appease
popular clamor. ,
Defeat means the failure of the military autocracy, the
collapse of its power, held only on promise of victory.
When the German people understand that the promises of
victory cannot materialize, when they comprehend that
the nation faces irretrievable disaster, when they realize
that the blunders of militarism have arrayed against them
practically the entire civilized world and its barbarities
isolated Germany as a nation abhorred as the Huns were
of old, autocracy will have to answer for the calamity by
something besides unfulfilled and empty promises and the
war will end.
ASCERTAINING THE AGE OF FISH.
A BOOKLET on "Pacific. Salmon Fisheries" just is
sued by the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, contains inter
esting data concerning the age of salmon at maturity com
piled by Dr. Charles II. Gilbert of Stanford University,
an acknowledged aut hority, who has adapted the discovery
of European investigators that the ridges observed on the
scales of certain fishes, indicated a period of growth of
the iish, much as the rings
trees.
This microscopic method, new as regards Pacific sal
mon, has been fully tested in Scotland in the case of At
lantic, salmon and has been shown to be applicable to trout,
carp, bass, flounder and cod, and is now universally ac
cepted as furnishing reliable data as to age and many other
facts in the life history of fish.
The scale in general, persists thruout the life of the
fish and grows in proportion to tlu rest of the fish, prin
cipally by additions around its border. At intervals there
is produced at the growing edge, a delicate ridge upon the
surface, the successive ridges thus formed being concen
t ric and sub-circular in contour, each representing the out
line of the scae. at a certain period of growtlt Many of
these ridges are formed in the course of a year's growth;
more in the spring and summer when tin fish grows rapid
ly than in the fall and winter.
J Miring the period of rapid growth, the ridges are wide
ly separated. During slow growth the ridges are crowded
closely together, forming a dense band. Thus the surface
of tin; scale is mapped out. in definite succession of areas,
a band of widely spaced rings, always followed by a band
of closely crowded rings, the two I'onstituting a single
year's growth.
By this means, Dr. Gilbert has ascertained that the chi
nook salmon spawns in its fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh
years, the female being prcponderatingly four-year fish.
Those which remain longest in fresh water, reaching ma
turity latest. The silver salmon spawn normally only in
their third vear. The dog salmon mature in their third,
fourth or fifth years. The Humpback always in their sec
ond year. I lie soekeye either

salmon, in their second vear.
Another interesting fact

and matured in foreign regions. It is now reasonably oer
tain that the vast, majority
near the coast line, while others stay in bavs, straits and
sounds virtually all the time
ever travel verv far from the
they were spawned or liberated.

lias a half intciv-t in a dairy farm
near this natural fortress, a strate
gic locution uhich was chosen with
a view to suppUinx milk ami butter
to the garrison in ease of n Japanese
invasion.
The first stop in our mud career
was muilo nl Del Kio orchard, n fine
poiuiilngical proposition Messrs
Deuel and Weeks are developing1. For
eiirlit years they have lieeii piittim;
if.'iUO a month into this jackpot, which
of the word. They have no intention
of sellinjr to suckers, but expect to
reap their reward by selling1 ammuni
tion for the interior department,
packed in hushed boxes and guaran
teed to rout the universal enemy,
hunger.
Do) Rio is located two miles west
of Gold Hill, where the Pacific. High
way crosses the river. Thero are
2.T0 acres in -apples and pears and
the books were balanced with red ink
until lust fall, when eight ears of
fruit were sold at nn avonifre price
of $H(iO per car. This year's crop
is estimated nt 20 ears tond when all
tho trees get down to business the
yearly shipments will prolinbly total
i0 cars. When that time arrives
Mr. Deuel expects to move to Del
Rio and take things easy in the shade
of his own vine and plum tree, with
a fish line tied lo one hi" too nnd
the other inserted in a convenient
knot hole, far away from Med ford's 1
mndding' strife. Mr. Weeks, hrins of
a more warlike disposition, plans to
build another hunting Indue on the
elond-piereintr heights above the
ranch nnd from there launch fre
quent campaigns ngainst the wild ani
mals which infest the fearsome
heights beyond.
There is nn especially fine block
of nine-year-old Newtowns nt Del
Rio and n number of six-year-old
Winter Nellis pear trees loaded with
fruit, nltho the most profitable Nel
lis orchard in the valley did not be-
.'in to bear until more than twice
this age. For meeting the frost
king's annual spring offensive there
have been installed n number of hot
air fins, consisting of sheet iron
cylinders two feet long, 20 inches
in diameter nt- the breech nnd 15
inches nt the muzzle. These frost
annihilntnrs ore loaded with wood
cut on Hie ranch by the men while
resting from strictly horticultural In-
bors, the theory being that a change
of occupation is rest, so the genial
foreman informed me. Each employe
cultivates nnd otherwise cares for nn
average of 45 acres of trees and so
well has the spraying been done that
last yenr there wero only 200 boxes
of culls in over 5000 boxes of fruit.
A few years ago the Southern Pa
cific in nn unguarded moment es
tablished a fln(f station at Del Rio
and since then nil trains except the
limited stop there on signal. A sid
ing makes it possible to load fruit
directly from packing house to car,
which causes tho members of the
Gold Hill druymCn's union to gnash
their teeth in impotent rage at pres
ent nnd prospective loss of business.
The entire Del Rio ranch comprises
over 700 acres, occupying an im
mense amphitheater of hills prelect
ing a fine body ot bottom land, u he
dwelling was originally nn old stage
station built to accommodate the
throng of tourists who caught the
western fever about the time that
states east of the Missouri river were
drafting men to go south and hang
Jeff Davis on a sour apple tree. Dur
ing odd times Mr. Deuel refinished
some of the rooms for tho iiso of
himself and Mi's. Deuel, using some
of the furniture they first kept house
with nnd from which they were loath
to part.
The barn with its massive, Imnd
hewn timbers, has been recovered and
is now the permanent resilience of a
dozen stubborn looking mules. In
order lo enable the latter to find their
places each slall bears tho name of
its occupant painted in large letters

has nothing on Del Rio mules, for
when the latter enter the barn they
glance at the names und never fail
to find their own stalls. The writer
happened to be there at the noon
hour nnd witnessed this remarkable
evidence of ermine sagacity.
The cook nt Del Rio is deaf in both
ears and visitors ns well as board
ers are forced to make gustatory
wants known by means of signs. Mr.
Deuel has eaten at the ranch so many
times that be has developed n sign
hingungc that is most marvelous.

On this particular day a plateful of

was curious to see how our host was

however, was to let his tongue hang
out nnd pant like a "hot dog.
We next visited Riverbonk farms,
nine miles west of Grants Pass. This
is one of the finest agricultural piop
orties in the valley, comprising nn
immense body of easily irrigated,
rich bottom land near the ."juncture
of the Applegate nnd Rogue rivers,
f'lydet E. Niles. the very successful
manager, calls it a "diamond in the
rough," there being only n few I nn
dred acres in eliitivation. Mr. Wiles
is demonstrating that absentee land
lordism need not always mean loss
and ruin. Altho the owner of this
property lives two thousand miles
distant, it is so managed ns to pro
duce n good profit each year. All
net returns are siient in development
work, which nt present consists
chiefly in elenring new land. Cater
