ing tho second feature.
Judge Kelly explained the oil situa
tion in tho Rogue River valley, and
elterated his previous declaration
that the most hopeful thing was the
fact that geologists and oil experts had
declared there was no oil here. "You
can bet that when a geologist says
there Is no oil prospects, that thore Is"
said the judge. "Thoy become so con
servative that they doubt if there is
oil In a gasoline tank of a Ford."
He also explained the workings of
tho oil wells in Texas, and ropeated
that If the Trlgonia diggings wore In
Texas thoro would bo plenty of excite
ment. "Oil rainbows show up on tho water
we aro haling out of the Trlgonia,"

good sign we are in the neighborhood
of oil sands. 1 don't want to arouse
you icppio to. false hopos, hut the
showing-is worth taking a chnnco on."

lon for tho establishment and main-
lenaneo of n forest experiment station
In Oregon or Washington Is tho sub
ject of a bill CS. 'I70u) Introduced on
Occembor ii.'t in tho II. S. senalo by
Senator McNary of Oregon, according
to District ForoHter Con. H. Cecil, of
Iho Porlland forest ofllco. Tho bill
carries an appropriation of fno.OOO for
tho year ondiiiK Juno 30, Wl'l, to be
used In determining "tho best methods
for tho managumont of Douglas fir,
western yellow pine, spruce, and other
forosta and forest land, including tho
production of pulp timber and tho pro
tection of forested areas from fire and
to give technical ndvico to owners of
forest lands on tho best methods of
cutting, production, and silvlcultural
management to insure the continued
productiveness of forest cropB."
Mr. Cecil calls attention to tho fact
that an oxpeiiment station was estab
lished on a small scalo at Wind rlvor,
Washington, by Iho U. S. forest sor
vlco in l!li:i. In splto of tho limita
tions Imposed by inadequalo funds and
assistance, valuablo results havo been
secured, Mr. Cecil slates: "For exam
ple, It has been shown that Douglas fir
forests can he reproduced' naturally
from seed stored In tho surfaco soil
without tho exponso or Investment rep
resented in many largo treeB reserved
for seed, provided slash Is burned nt
Iho right timo. Study of tho behavior
of forest fil'os Is loading to results
which will help materially in the pre
vail! Ion of the enlumous losses from
this sourco which havo occurred In the
past In the northwest."
Mr. Cecil pointed out that with CO
per cent of tho remaining timber In
tho United States on tho l'aclfic coast
and tho prospect (lint tho wholo coun
try will soon ho nt least partially de
pendent upon this last source of sup
ply, the Importance, of initiating in
tlnio tho experimental work upon
wulch to baso the continued produc
tiveness of this timber reservoir is
evident. To put Iho measure through
promptly In tho faco of tho congres
sional economy wave, however, will re
quire active support from all who are
interested, local forests believe.

LUCKY MEDFORD
MUCH WORK AHEAD
Tho prediction that tho year 1B21
will be a prosperous one seonijj !M-ely
to be fulfilled. Tho last subscription
to U. S. Treasury Certificates has been
oversubscribed ono hundred per cent,
although the Issue was over two
hundred and fifty million dollars. Co
incident with this comes the infor
mation that money has been offered
in New York from interior banks on
demand, at a rate lower than tho reg
ular market rate of six per cent.
What does this mean?
It means that in all probability
Jackson County will bo able to sell
her low interest bearing bonds, and
that great activity will prevail here in
the spring on account of road work
and other improvements. Liquida
tion Is appare,nty progressing satin
factorily elsewhere, and the Farmers
and Fruitgrowers Bank is authority
for the statement that prosperity will
continue to prevail here. 255

When parents let their boys spend money foolishly, they do
the boys HARM instead of good. When a father and mother
COMPEL, if must be, their boys to bank a part .of the money
they earn, they start them on the road to SUCCESS, reliability
and independence.
And maybe the parents will some day NEED their boys'
support.
Start YOUR boys to banking their money today. Some
day soon they will thank you.
