FIRE FIGHTERS
CALLED FOR TO
CHECK BLAZE
But little definite information was
known at the U. S. forest offices in
this city today rejianliiiK the forest
fires situation thruout the county,
but in the nbsenee of bad news it was
presumed by Assistant Supervisor H.
u. Jrostor that the situation was ut
least no worse.
A jitney driver who returned from
the Prospect region where he mid
taken aomo men lxt night reported
to Mr. Foster this morniiu; that For
est Supervisor Krickson who is in
ehnrtro of fighting the two largo and
the smaller fires in that torri'nry
wanted Foster to send up to him ail
th men that he could find.
More Men Sent For.
Seventeen men were sent up by
Foster on Sunday, and l' mom will
be sent today. State Supervising
riro Warden Grieve is also in the
Prospect district aiding in directing
the fire fighters.
As to whether the fire situation in
the Prospect district is worse today,
or whethur Supervisor Krickson
needs the additional men he nsked
for to replaco fire fighters who had
to return to the city, could only he
guessed at, in the absence of defi
nite news. Supervisor Krickson sent
yesterday for n dozen cross-cut saws
and as many falling wedges to be
rushed to him at once.
Several new fires were reported in
the Elk creek district on Sunday.
They were small lire?, however, and
Mr. Foster sent sit men from I'uis
city to assist the rangers of that sec
tion in working on them.
CouKiir Creek Fire.
The Cougar creek fire in the ltig
Applegatc section is now under con
trol, as is the fire on Anderson creek,
No word whatever was received up
to this noon from the manv 'lire
burning in the Butte l ulls district.
In the big Mill creek station for
est fire in the Prospect district Sat
urday the house ami barn of Karl
Ulrieh's ranch were caught by the
onrushing flames and destroyed. The
barn was u large one and was filled
with hay, according to reMrts re
ceived in Medford. Part of the lu y
and the household goods were h:i".icd
to n plut'e of safety when it was seen
that the spreading forest lire was
going to claim the ranch as its victim
HOW TO SECURE PROSPERITY.
WHAT IS me dud to make the Kogire. llivvv Valley
ii'ospei'u.s ?
From 5d(K) In 10,000 caps of fruit, a year, the propor
tion that other northwestern fruit districts secure from
similar orchard acreage, would help do it.
An annual quadrupled yield of alfalfa would aid in
bringing about the desired result.
Five or six times the present acreage in sugar beets
would accomplish it by securing a beet sugar factory.
An immensely increased production of berries, toma
toes and garden truck to secure canneries would bring it.
Lumber mills and box factories io supply box shooks
and provide payrolls would make it a certainty.
How can this increased production and these depend
ent industries be secured f
Only in one way by irrigation. "Without it, none of
them are possible.
For many years the people of the valley have been
chasing will-o'-the-wisps to secure prosperity and ignoted
the source before them.
They spent, money to bring people in without providing
occupation when they came.
Thev planted large acreage ot orchard without water
to insure the crop.
They inflated land values, to get rich quick by pulling
themselves up bv their boot-straps.
They voted bonds to build railroads to mines when
their one gold mine lay in the undeveloped or partially
developed soil about them.
They spend money in a gambler's choice to strike cil,
but refuse to spend any to secure water.
The vallev is not prosperous because it does not pro
duce enough for the population, a'nd without water it can
not produce enough. Yet every effort to secure water is
met with stubborn opposition.
Four drv vears, with deficient rainfall, ought to eoiv
vince the most stupid of the need of irrigation. Even in
the most favorable vears the moisture does not come at the
needed season. It is inequitably distributed and seldom
a drop falls at the tune needed. ater is crop insurance
Another effort is under way to start preliminaries for
irrigation, it, is hoped that it will meet little opposition
The land-owners have stood in their own light long enough.
Thev have not onlv impoverished themselves but their
neighbors. They have depreciated their own property and
stagnated the growth and development ot the valley.
Without water, conditions will steadily grow worse
The prosperous sections today are those belts under irriga
lion. With the entire valley irrigated, there Avill be pros
perity for all.

MembnrH of the Seventh Day Ad
Vontinta' church of this oily, compris
ing 20 inon and about sixty women
and children, spent Sunday at Shorty
Hamilton's ranch near Central Point
cutting and chopping up the winter's
aupply ot wood fur the church. Twen
ty Horn were prepared, but this Is not
enough and the work will he contin
ued another Sunday in the near fu
ture. The working hours were from ! a.
ni. until f. p. m. The Adventisls
reached tho Hamilton ranch from
Medford In iiulos niul other vehicles
Dinner and Hopper were served the
workers at the home of Frank Itulh
rock, near the Hamilton ranch.
Tho men chopped down trees anil
with tho aid of tho bumiIIiio wood aw
of KIdor John .Mehan, cut It Into tier
lengthn. Then they split the wood to
the desired dimensions. The women
and children piled up the wood In
tiers and carried water to the men
workers. The dny very hot. et.e
more wood would have been prepared.
The high and uniform tcmp-rn
tare of the past few weeks has calls
ed a rapid development in the larval
and pupal stages of (he codling moth.'
We find that some of the second
brood moths are and ninny more will
emerge within the next two weeks,
therefore the fruit should he llioro-
ly sprayed between now and tin fir-'t
of August. The first eggs will he
hntched about the first of A u;ust,
and the maximum amount will eeuie
on during the following ten das or
two weeks and will then probably
string along for the balance of the
season.
Due lo the lateness of the fruit
riH'iiiug season it will probably be
necessary to make an additional ap
plication on Itnrtlctts and tdhci pent-,
about ljth or 'JOIh of Augii.-t. Keep
fruit- thoroly covered with spray af
ter the first of Angu-t.
I would like to suggest that some
applications he made with double

son with the regular strength. Hue
