The important cities of Sc
uttle n ml Tacoina, because of
drought, observe a falling: off
in hyilro-elcctric power that
might menace the lighting of
lml li cities.
The problem presented will
interest 1 lie President, who be
lieves in making public prop
erty useful to people that own
it.
The navy's airplane carrier,
Lexington, n o w in Puftet
Jpiinnd, near ; Seattle and Ta
coina, has abundant power for
both cities.
To conned the carrier's en
gines with the two ligliling
plants would be simple.
The President will not allow
red tape or technicalities to in
terfere with an important op-(
portunity and obvious duty.
President Taft rendered pub
lic service when forest fires
made it imperative! to use the
army; he acted promptly and
efficiently.
Xavy officials may give Pres
ident Hoover ten good reasons
for not allowing the Lexington
to be made useful. The Presi
dent, doubtles, will give them
one good reason for changing
their minds, and they 'll change
Jliem. .
Ta permit inconvenience to
two cities, refusing immediate
and simple relief, would be pre
posterous, especially ns the cit
izens of Seattle and Taeoina
helped to build the Lexington
nnd pay their share, each day,
lo maintain, ship and crew.
Wit h the death of C'lencean
n grejit, noble, useful man
leaves the earth. Those that i
knew him, or know his career,
without knowing the man,
think of little else.
lie makes our ordinary lives
seem futile, with his magnifi
cent 8S years, more than "0
spent in public service.
Ignorance calls him "athe
ist." lie was no enemy of re
ligion. His fight was against
control of government by the
church. ITe fought against thai'
in Krance, and won. lie agreed
with those that established this
nation and wrote its constitu
tion that church and state
should be separate, lie nnd
(iiinibetta separated them in
Krance.

Third Consecutive Sale in
Detroit at Figures Higher
.Than Old Established
Markets Seen As Insuring
Success Winter Pear
Committee Plan for New
Consumers.
Melfunl Knse pears, offered for
sale on the Detroit market yester
day by the Winter Pear committee,
David It. Wood, chairman, scored
u price triumph, at an average of
J-I.G7 per liox, a figure 81 cents
higher than the Chicago pear mnr
kel. and "4 cents higher ihiin New
Vork price overages.
It was tire third consecutive ear
from rhe Winter I'ear (-umiuitlee,
that sold for a higher average than
rhe leading markets of the country
and insures the success of the
campaign, which was viewed
skeptically at first by some grow
ers and distributors.
If the present price average Is
maintained until the twenty cars
subscribed are sold on tho Detroit
market, the Winter I'ear commit
tee will break even, or practically
so, financially.
Tho Detroit market will be an
open market after December 2.
when tho committee closes, and it
is estimated that ten or twelve cars
will he sold heforo the closo of tho
season, by local shippers, a major
ity of whom have co-operated In
making tho Detroit campaign a
success.
Alii-acling Attention
The Hose campaign in Detroit
has attracted wide attention thru
out the Taclflo coast fruit districts,
and llHin, White & Prince, Inc., ot
Seattle, Wash., has li. ucit the folr
lowing self-explnnatorj. bulletin to
mnnngers and .directors of fruit
organizations:
"Detroit, while one of tho weal
thiest nnd most populous cities in
tho country,, has never handled
Hose pears, l'rlor to this year ef
forts to sell Dose pears In the De
troit market would have been n
sheer waste of energy.
"Production, of Hose In the
Hogue Hlver valley has increased
at such a pace that the growers
realized that they wore cdnfronteil
by a real problem. Accordingly,
they formed llnorgunizntlon, taxed
thenuielves to raise a- fund, und
sent twenty ears of finest llosc to
Detroit, put the fruit In cold stor
age there, worked out a regulur
auction program and put on an
advertising campaign, using radio
and newspapers to reacii the con
sumers and missionary salesmen
to reach tho detail and wholesale
trade.
"Tho services of Professor Hart
man of tho Agricultural college
wero commandeered and ho has
been spending his time back In
tho markets making u . research
and nt tho samo time assisting In
the proper ripening of tho fruit
sold In Detroit. CI rent care has
been taken to ripen the fruit to
Just the right degreo before dis
tributing It to the trade, for tho
llosc pour is like tho little girl with
the curl, either very, very good or
horrid. Tho .Medfurd growers
adopted a very happy slogan, "Old
gold oulside, augured sunshine In
side" and have left nothing to
chance that the fruit ns It reached
the consumers exemplified the
slogan.
(iiiurniilt'cil Iti'tom
"The twenty cars catc from the
various shippers pro-rata. Kacli
shipper was guaranteed a return
on his fruit consistent with the full
general marVet value. The plan
was that If the Detroit market
would not pay n price that equal
led the average of tho other de
veloped markets, the fund would
be drawn upon lo inuke up the
loss to the shipper.
"The campaign has been a sen
sational success. Tho first few
curs t,hat were sold realized prices
only slightly under the New York
market, whero the llosc pear has
Its greatest vogue end longest
establishment. 'As the campaign
In Detroit gathered headway prices
first approached, then eciuulled,
and then exceeded New York
prices. Itecent sales have been on
the busls of li to 80c above New
York.
Open Market Hoc. 2
"Tho twenty cars allocated for
Introductory purposes will bo
cleaned up about Ihe second of
December. L'p lo that date Mo.
trolt, by common consent, has been
a "closed market." All shippers
have supported Ihe program by
keeping cars out of Detroit either
on ufler-nrrlval of f.o.b. sale basis.
This was neeessu'-y In order to
enable the committee to keep the
supply under absolute control and
carry out their program In an
orderly manner. The expiration of
the campaign, however, nearly ap
proaches and the Detroit Jobbers
are already beginning lo look
around for supplies.

Howard School Pupil De
"Velops Meningitis Board
Orders Dismissal Classes
Type of Case Not
Diagnosed.
The first case of spinal menin
gitis to have been . reported In
Jackson county for months devel
oped hist week at tho Howard
school between Medford nnd Cen
tral Point on the Pacific highway.
As utresult, the schuol was ordered
closed today by the Howard school
hoard and it was nut leurncd
whether other pupils had been ex
poscd, Tho vlctinr of the malady Is
Lloyd Hhepehrd, lil-year-old eighth
grade student, ami ho became sick
last Thursday with what was first
believed, to have been on 'acute
case of indigestion or a heart at
tack. A county nurso was called
to the school and rendered first
aid.
When tho case was diagnosed as
spinal meningitis .Sunday, t h e
county health unit mnde prepara
tions for a nurse to visit tire school
each morning this week to check
up on an possible spread of the
disease by giving the pupils exam
inations for early symptoms. It
was not thought other students
had been expused, but it was ex
plained today by county health
authorities that tile examinations
wero being given as u purely pre
cautionary measure. Through this
methud, the authorities had hoped
to have the school continue Its
sessions.
Kltuulloil Aggravated
However, now that the school Is
dismissed, they say It will be a
much' harder situation, ns no ex
aminations can lie made ami is apt
to make the spread of the malady
more dangerous. A number of the
Howard school children were re
ported In .Medford this forenoon
playing and visiting with local
school children.
However, health authorities were
not eertnln whether the case of the
Shepherd boy was of the epldcnric
type, and there is possibly little
ground for worry at this time.
In tho future, said Dr. lOmlly
llolcom, county medical director,
this forenoon, it would be wise for
school districts to study the situa
tion carefully before ordering tile
closo of tho school. It hns been
Hie practice for boards to confer I
with health authorities and be
guided somewhat by their advice !
In regard to the course to follow. !
In somo eases, the closing of
schools tends to make situations
worse rather than to benefit them,
It Is said.

S. P. WOULD
FACE LOSS
Engineer Testifies Competi

Line Would Bring Big
Loss First Year to Old
System Cost of Pro
posed Operation Placed
Too Low.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cul Nov. 2(1.
(P) The Southern Pacific today
attacked the state of California's
case for the connecting lino plan
ned hy the Great Northern and
Western Pacific railroads. The
Southern Pacific put into the in
terstate commerce commission's
record in ihe hearing In Ihe case
statements hy Its own experts that
the figures of A. J. Mott, chief en
gineer of the California railroad
commission, were incorrect.
Kstimates of the losses the
Southern Pacific would suffer by
the proposed competition of tho
Klamath Falls, Ore., to Keddie, Cnl..
line wero about tripled by Clarence
K. Day. He is an engineer In the
Southern Pacific offices. He stated
that his figures showed the South
ern Pacific would lose more than
$3,000,000 during the first year of
the new line's operation. He point'
ed out that this sum is equal to a '
return on an Investment ot $52.
500,00 on the commission's accept
ed yield basis of 6 per cent.
Estimate Too Low
The greater security of the pro
posed' route would result ill un eco
nomic loss of about $500,000 annu
ally, he testified. The Southern
Pacific engineer also challenged es
timates of the petitioning road cov
ering their proposed operations,
equipment and taxee.' He declared
the Western Pacific operating esti
mates should be Increased 90 per
cent. The witness went into details
of car supply, car rentnl, cabooses
and additional engines, which he
said would be required to hnndlo
the estimated traffic.
The Grent Northern also had pro
vided only about one-third of the
outlay that actually would be nec
essary, he said, to cover car rental
or purchase of new cars and equi
ment. The Great Northern also hnd
failed properly to take account of
federal taxes, he said.
The witness touchedon various
points brought out by witnesses for
petitioners, attempting to show
that In the presentation of the case
for the proposed line a variety of
costs had been placed too low nnd
that consequently It would not be
In the public Interest to sanction
the establishment of the comr-et-Ing
line at the highest cost which
shippers would have to pay.
Service Adequate
J. H. Mnhan, Southern Pacific
agent at Alturas, testified railroad
service is already adequate In his
territory. He attempted to go Into
details of possible development of
traffic In the valley, but was cut
short by Director Mahafflo.
