S. Hrown, chief of -horticulture at the Oregon Agricultural col lege. Professor Brown advises growers to do little or no ;runing be fore April or May. best give nature a chance to restore the injured trees to vigor. His report follows: "Oregon suffered about the middle of December from probably the se verest freeze on record in most of the fruit growing sections of the state. The dnmage resulted from this wide spread low temperature was rather spotted in its severity, some locations not suffering much as the extreme cold would seem to indicate. . Nature of DnnuiKO "The most serious damage seems to be in the region of the tree imme diutelv'nbove the snow line, taking in the upper purt of the trunk and the mniu limbs; . It is indicated bv a' dis coloring of the bark, the cambium layer und in some instances, the outer part of the wood. The tender grow ing points nnd sometimes the entire inside portion of the fruit spur may be affected. Combintd with this bark und wood injury nianv buds are affected, especially on the sweet cherries und pears. Cause of Injury "The chief cause of the in in rv. which is usually found to extend en tirely around the tree, is the combina tion of low temperature, coupled with the presence of considerable sap in the lower part of the trees at least. Another contributing factor which was verv ser ous was the heat generated on he south and south west sides of the trees bv the sun's reflection on the snow. This caus ed a drying out of that portion of the hark and an injury much worse in some eases than is found on the north side of the tree. . Seriousness of Damufrn "It js not possible to tell nt pres ent just how badly injured tho trees are. Shortly after the freeze the division of horticulture of the col lege station sent out a great number of letters to different growers thru- out the state uskiug them to send samples- of injured material to the college. A great nianv limbs, twigs and buds have been sent in for ex nminntion. Some of the twigs con taining buds have been placed in the greenhouse in water, to see if thev have vitality enough to open the buds nnd function properly. Tissues from the larger limbs were given careful microscopic examination. "It is found from this work that there is a great deal of difference in the severity of the iniurv. due to' sev eral causes, among them the condition of the trees nt the time of freezing. the vnnetv. nnd the location of the orchard. All gradations in injury are louuj, CITY TO REDOING Gourde T. Collins arrived home Sunday bv train after having made a trip in an auto to Itedtlimr last Sat urdiiv, which will he onri news to a mimbt'r ot' people in the vjtllev who are eoiiteinil:itin; a trip south 1ml have been deterred Irom doimr so lor lear that the roads were impassible between Ashland and Keddiuir. 'As I have occasion to o south about FelimuTV 1st and found ii would cost about $(15 to ship n Hu'ht car, about 2,")00 pound, from .Med ford to Redding (I believe sevenil have shipped their ears recently us far as Reddine), I thought I would take a davoff and se bow far I onlil iret, so I left Medford at f a. in. on Saturday in a liirht Oakland six made Yreka in three hours and Red utnir in four more without any trouble whatever did not even trv to hur ry," said Mr. Collins. "The road over the Siskivous has been blocked bv a slid' at Hear (lulch near the California line, but it was possible to uet throuuh with care. The l'oir earlv in the niorniuir both ered more than the road did. Osknr 1 1 uber's men were ready to blast, a steep hillside of solid rock at that point' to, .prevent further slides and I expect that a few hours after 1 uot through - the roa.d would be blocked again for a few days. "There is nothing- that eau make the Siskiyou road impassible except iiiir deep snow or slides. Rain does not affect it at all :fs the base is ltnra all the way. From the California line to Yreka is excellent : from Yreka io Gazelle the same; from Gazelle to Weed, a little bumpy but perfectly drv, and from Weed to Dnnsmuir is verv srond. The Sacramento eanvon from Dnnsmuir to Rcddimr. has been th subject of more misinformation than any other piece of road on the coast. It is alwavs reported as impassable, and wild stories are alwavs eireulat imr about the terrible detours, mud holes, etc. I made. three round trips over this road lust year and alway found it irood, and when I went through Saturday, it was better than I have ever seert iti "Krom Dnnsmuir to Lamoiiie. which is about a third of the way, the road was muddy, but. no more so than the road from Medford to Jacksonville, and a much better road. From La moine to Redding1 the road is a boule vard, hard, smooth and dry. The grading is all completed, all tin bridges are in and open to traffic, and not a detour the entire distance. Road men arc working all the time, rolling, scraping, filling in chuck holes as fast as they appear, etc., for the entire G8 miles. "It was foggy and raining all the way when I went hrough, but if it rained continuously for a mouth it would not hurt that road a particle, as it is so well graded and drained. I did not use chains anywhere between Medford and Redding. "Anyone who can drive at all can make this trip in perfect safety. I would not hesitate to start from Dnnsmuir for Redding at midnight on a bicycle with one hand tied behind me.7 CATE COMMENDED i A letter of praise for tho manner in which hia office is conducted has Jimt been received by County Agent C. C. Cate from II. W. Gilbertscn of Washington, D. C, who is the govern ment official in charge of the county agents of the northern und northwes tern states. His letter follows in part: "I wish to take this oppcrtuuity of commending the quality of your nar rative report.

Daily, game warden from Jaekson county, who is in the e-Jty today, states that in The opinion of the wardens and olh. rs, the seasMi is now closed to all furms of trout fishing, and that ilia-much as the teelhead is classified as a trout in the Rogue, it is thend'on; illegal to oati'li steelhead now" siys the Grants Pass Courier. "As there Is a difference of (.'pinion upon the subject, a lest case is to be arranged in Jackson county, and get an opinion from the courts upon the subject. Arrangement have been made for the arrest of a man, one already having been found who was willing to be the goat. This party will catch a -steelhead as soon us one can get through the Macleay nets at the mouth of the. river, and will sub mit himself to arrest. He will be de fended hv Attorneys K. 1. Ilriggs of Ashland, and Evan Kcaines of Med ford. "The ct.'ntentiou of Warden Dailey is that the law which was passed some years ago classtlymg tlio steel head in the Rogue as a trout is still effective, notwithstanding that the steelhead in other streams is classi fied as a salmon, and that because of this it is among tho trout now pro tected by law till April 1st."

It would be a splendid thing for Med ford and tho new chamber of com merce directory will take up the pro position.

DECLARES SHE IS BACK AI HER DESK "Tannic has certainly proved what -ft can do by restoring me to health and 1 am recommending it to my friends and customers." was th-.( statement made recently by Mrs. Min nie. Atkins who is the proprietor of Mothers' Place, a well-patronized res taurant at ll!H West Hroadway, San Diego, Cal. "About a year ago n;y health be gan to fail me and I got in a terribly weakened, run-down condition." eon tinued Mrs. Atkins. "I bad almost no appetite at all and what little 1 , forced myself to eat did me more! harm than good, and all the time l1 felt so weak and tired that it was all could do to keep the place going. j "After I had been in this condition! several weeks, the clerk in the hotel i uevt door told me about Tautac and ulvised me lo give it a trial. Well, it was no time alter 1 began taking it before 1 was feeling better ami by the time I had finished my second bottle my appetite had come back, 1 could digest everything I ate perfectly and was feeling just as fine as ever. "I was in the very best of health until about three months ago when 1 had a bad case of the iuflueii'.a and was in bed a week and unable to at tend to my work for two weeks or more. I was left In such a weakened condition that ! was hardly able to get across the floor and had pains and aches all over my body. 1 lost my appetite again and was troubled so with Indigestion (hat nearly every thing I alo or drank disagreed with me. "1 sent for Tanlae again and took two more bottles and it did jm:t like it had done u year befroe and it was no time before I was able to do my work with as much ease as ever and without getting tired or worn out. I can eat anything 1 please without any bad effects at all and the pains all left mo and 1 am never troubled in any way.
