With avenge luck the fruit, of more than half a century or toll would yield enough to pay the 15000 mort gage and a respectable neat egg to boot. But alasl there la not, the sob .tory avers.

Editorial Comment Be Constructive Nearly 1600 Jackson county tHl eens, by actual count, were gatl-ir? In the Medford armory Thursday eve-nine- of this week to hear affaire of the county discussed. It Is likely that no other "attraction" which might have been booked could have brought out this number of oltltens In a com mon cause. Democrats and republicans, to say nothing of Independents, learned dur ing the recent political campaign that the public le pretty well "fed up" on a lot of chatter. However, In Jackson county affairs have reached such an unsettled atage that everyone Is Interested. And It Isn't altogether a healthy Interest. That Is, Instead of having a construc tive program, backed by a substantial group of oltlaens, affaln seem to be somewhat in the same oondltlon as an unsolved Jig-saw puaele. Every body has an Idea about how affaire ot the county should be operated then are conflicting Idea, about what con stitute. Justice and fair play. Organisations and Individuals be come Involved In wordy dlsputee. And wordy dispute, result In so little good. We believe that we echo the senti ment of the majority ot the cltlcenry of Jackson county when we Bay we are wearied with this constant fric tion. Mistakes have been made. But the best way of correcting any error 1 through the regular channels of action dictated by society. If a matter must be settled In court settle It In court and forget about differences after they are settled. From one who Is not a native-born American, but who seem, to have a real appreciation of the lack of ac complishment which will necessarily accompany such friction as hae exist ed, a note came to us recently. "For get differences of the past and start to do some real work," la his plea to public officials. without interference from anyone with all petition, or requests com ing through recognised channel, of approach to publlo offlclaU. with a cessation of constant friction and agitation. Jackson county could again settle back to planning for the future and accomplishing something. We believe that the presence of 1600 men and women In the armory at Medford Thursday evening. Is tan gible evidence that the cltlcens of Jackson county want thla Internal strife which la making ackson county the butt of many Jokea throughout the state, to cease. If. aa Individuals, we refused to listen to agitation end criticism, and would discuss constructive strain, we would be starting at the right source of remedying the trouble the Indi vidual.

WHERE THE C ER.MS COME IN One of the most successful medical charlatans In the country, who keeps 'em coming in the only way a quack can maintain himself long In one locatloii, points out to his w 1 s e a o r e pros pects from time to time the ab surlty of the or thodox m e d leal idea that germs cause disease. The germs, the mountebank as sures his gullible customers, are the efect of the disease, not the cause of It. They are attracted to the scene, like buz zards or vermin, byt the corruption or something that la thrown off by the sick body or maybe the corrup tion or "toxic waste matter" or what ever It Is that produces the disease, and the germs Just happen to be hanging around and hop In and en- toy themselves. But the charlatan sometimes loses sight of his main premise when ap pealing to the credulity of the public. He wnxe seloquent about the man agement of childbirth In one of his bids for patronage, and as though to reassure timid prospects he asserts that a policy of non-Interference Is almost always best, provided antl septic precautions are observed. Ob viously he charlatan seeks to appear "up to date," but unfortunately be trays his Ignorance after all, for It Is not antlseptllc methods but aseptic methods that make for safety In ob stetric practice today, Irrespective ol the "school" of the physician or mid wife or whether the policy Is one of Interference or non-interference. In other words, by taking pains to ster ilize things and by rigid cleanliness we keep the germs out. Instead of try ing to kill them after they have gain ed access to the field. Anyhow, It goes to show how Ignortant are the educated. Here Is a popular charla tan ridiculing the "theory" that germs cause disease and In the same breath appealing to the public to patronize him because he believes In using methods to discourse germ activities. Just how do the germs of our mot common and widespread diseases get L' In? We are no nearer a working knowledge of this important matter than we were ten years ago. It seems to me that the rank and file of phy sicians today are disposed to agree that the common respiratory Infec tions, which cause three-fourths of the Illness physicians attend, are spread chiefly In the mouth and nose spray given off when the patient coughs or sneezes, and some phylao- fans, If not health authorities, now tending the Pomona Grange degree team practice and others attending a Joint meeting of the executive com mittee of the Pomona Orange, and the Orange masters of the county. The community was saddened by the death of Ephralm A. Mlsner Jan uary 13. Mr. Mlsner lived with his brother on the Crater Lake highway Just above Eagle Point. His health has been very poor for some time, having had hospital treatment for several months last summer. It was supposed that his health was much Improved and the news of his death was a great surprise. Previous to his 111 health, Mr. Mlsner worked on the farms of John Pearce and Buford A. Clark, and was a very conscientious worker. Funeral service was at the Perl Funeral home on Monday, Jan. 10. at 3 p. m., with Interment In the Medford cemetery.

If physicians and health authori ties in general do seriously believe that disease Is spread by the custom of shaking hands, they are strangely reluctant to teach the public about the danger. Personally, I do not be lieve that an appreciable amount of disease is spread In this way. Such a mode of Infection Is conceivable, but In my opinion It Is actually so rare as to be negligible. But conversational spray polite conversational spray that, I think. Is the main source of grief for the public today. I'm hoczy, but all 1 can do about It Is to warn the pub lic that the range of ordinary con versational spray Is less than live feet. When you are at all auspicious of an alleged "cold" you can at least strive to keep beyond the scoundrel' effective conversational spray range. QUESTIONS AM) ANSWERS Swallowed Ills Gum.

Place the materials to be treated In an airtight container, such as a good tight trunk or closet, and leave some of the fumlgant In an open vessel In the container with the materials, best shelf above the level of the garments or materials, for a day. This fumlgant does not corrode metals or bleach or stain fabrics. It Is effective for rugs, carpets, mohair, clothing uuens, upholstery. . (Copyright, John F. Dllle Co.) OUT ON HOOVER AS FINAL DAYS LOOM (Continued from Page One) got his wires crossed with a caller Involved State Secretary Stlmson When Stlmson returned from his Roosevelt visit he notified all nations that the Hoover-Sttmson Far Eastern policy was still In effect. He referred to the policy of non-recognltlon of states seized by force. That carried the clear Implication that Mr. Roosevelt would follow the policy. The newspapermen did a lit tle snooping around and wrote au thentic pieces that Mr. Roosevelt had told the secretary of state the policy would be continued. It leaked out through foreign ambassadors, who got the word from Stlmson. Mr. Roosevelt's comment was dip lomatically evasive. All he would say was that American policy must be founded on the sanctity of Inter national treaty. The Hoover-Stlmson policy ts a doctrine, not a treaty. That apparently leaves Mr, Roose velt's hands free again. But from unqestlonable sources comes word that the policy will be continued In principle. There seems to be nothing else to do. It has been utterly Ineffective. Japan was not stopped in conquering Manchoukou or In spreading Into Jehol by the threat of non -recognition. Nor has the threat been effective In the Chaco case In .South America. Nevertheless, there are those who believe It may pan out better In the long run. They believe the day will yet. come when Japan will be sorry we did not reoognlre her kidnaped Chinese baby. Unquestionably they are proceeding at present In the knowledge that no policy short of war or a boycott that might lead to war could possibly be effective.

The first quartz mill Introduced In Oregon was during 1860. The rich gold diggings In quartz which gave up $700,000 practically on top of the ground two miles from the town of Gold H1U on the Rogue, known as the "Gold Hill Pocket," had but recently been found, and the owners of tho diggings were operating an arrastra reducing the quartz which was worth $1 per pound. The old mode of reducllng ore with Its cumbersome drags, lazy mules and prlmatlve make-up generally, was not modern enough for the wealthy mine owners, although they were dl vidlng 1000 ounces of virgin gold per week, so they let a milling contract to the late Henry Kltppel, one of the mine owners, who took two partners and left for San Francisco to order modern mill equipment. The equipment consisted of a 12- stamp mill of the design then In vogue, which ,had low Iron mortora It waa shipped by water from San Francisco to Scottsburg, at the mouth of the Umpqua river, and hauled by team to Gold Hill. The shipment included steam boiler and engine. The freight and hauling cost $3,000 and the total cost of the plant equipment was $13,000 f. o, b, San Francisco. The first run of the mill was on 100 tons of ore not rich enough to be reduced by t.he arrastra, and It yielded $100 per ton. The next mill run taken down deeper on the vein, to the surprise of the mill operators, yielded only $3 per ton, probably due to the baseness of the ore and poor amalgamation. Another run was made which lasted six weeks on this rich base ore, and being careful ly conducted yllded but $3.40, and mine and mill suspended operations. The mill had been set up and op erated on the river opposite Gold Hill where the railroad bridge spans the stream, and on the outskirts ot the mining camp, Dardanelles and rival town of Oold Hill, when the rail road wis built through this valley during the early 'BOs, After the work ceased the mill was leased to Yreka miners who again attempted to mill the rich base ores of the Gold Hlly diggings, but failed. Later in 1863, the mill and power equipment was sold for $5,000 to Jewett Brothers and Douthltt and removed to the famous Jewitt mine out from Grants Pass. The mill proved a failure at Its new stand, and later the boiler and engine for a number of yara were used In operat ing the Parker sawmill out on Big Butte creek, owned by the late pion eer physician. Dr. Joseph Parker and sons. Henry Pope came over from Yreka In 1860 and erected an 8-stamp quartz mill at the forks of Jackson creek out from Jacksonville, and crushed ore front the newly discov ered Davenport pocket mine and sev eral other rich quartz veins nearby. He was to have $8 per ton for crush ing the quartz. About 100 tons of ore was reduced from the Davenport diggings which yielded from $45 to $75 per ton. These rich free-milling ores of the neighborhood after a few months were exhausted. Pope soon after sold an Interest In his mill to a company, by whom it was operated some months longer on rich ore hauled from other mines in the district. In less than a year after Its Inception the boiler and engine went the aw- mlll route, which the mill battery was removed to Wagner creek out from Talent and saw service at the Anderson and Rock fellow diggings operated by water power. The steam equipment saw service for many years in saw mills operated on Forest creek timber. Several years eler Charles Drew and Samuel Bowden put up the third quarts mill Introduced Into the re gion on the right fork of Jackson creek out from Jacksonville to cnuh ore on the vein of the famous Old Town mine. This mine was reopened two years ago and made mdre fa mous when the strike of rich tellu rtde on the 350-foot level was made, which will probably result In mak ing this old-time diggings one of the richest and largest ylelders of gold in this region again. While Vie Town mine, now known as the Midas, was first located as a placer In the spring of 1853 by a pi oneer miner named Town, following the discovery of gold at Jacksonville In the winter of 1851-3, It became a quartz diggings In the early '60s when Bowdeu uncovered a pay shoot on the vein which yielded $60.000 ; not deeper than ?0 feet from the sur face of the ground. Later Johnson. ; a prospector, uncovered another pay j shoot near the surface of the ground farther down theJll. which gave up 130.000. After several years Operation with Drew and Bowdca quarts mill,' a" rah?) I with more or less success crushing . surface ores, the boiler and engine were Installed in the Karewskl flour mill at Jacksonville, while the atamp mill was later Installed and operated at the Kllppel and Baumle quartz mine on Jackson creek operated by water power. These three mills were the fore runners of the thousands rnd thou sands of stamps which pounded and banged the ores of southwestern Or egon In later years. Tfre height of the Industry was reached from the early '90s to about 1906 with a de cline which was verging to a general resumption at the beginning of the world war In 1914,, when there was nearly a total suspension of the gold Industry, world wide, with all the mighty mining energies of the region turned to the production of copper, chrome, Mauaneses, quicksilver and other war metals.
