ELECTIONS FOR 1908.
Registration reopens Sept. 20
Closes for election Oct. 20.
Presidential election Nov. 3.

Under recent agreement with
Great Britain and other foreign
powers. parcels weighing up to
eleven pounds may now be sent
by mail to those countries at a
cost of twelve cents pound. In
the United States, for any dis
tance, the limit is four pounds
and the charge sixteen cents per
pound. In other words it costs
US four cents more per pound to
send a package by mail to even
the nearest postoffice than it
would cost to send it to any of
those distant countries. We are
told that it was the int ntion to
equalize the weight limit every
where, but that owing to the
objections of the express COM
panies" the eleven pound limit
will not apply in the United
States. And no doubt the post
Office department, owing to the
objections of the express COM
panies," decided also not to re-
duee the sixteen-cent charge in
this country.
Now the question arises, when
did the express comranies acquire
the right to dictate to the post
Office department what rates and
limits should be fixed for matter
passing through the mails? And
why should their "objections"
have more weight with the de-
partment than have the wishes
and interests of the people who
own the country? The express
business is a gigantic monopoly
which has for many years been
doing the hold-up act on the peo-
pile, demanding and receiving
many times what its service is
worth. The time may possibly
come when the people will find
some way to remedy this and
many other fragrant evils from
which it is suffering, and may it
not be long delayed.

Grange Libraries Popular.

In the matter of grange libraries
Connecticut leads New England, if not
the entire country. A few years ago a
committee was appointed with Pro-
fessor G. S. Phelps as chairman to ar
range for and put in circulation ten
travelling libraries of twenty books
each. A careful system was outlined
and the several libraries given twenty
suitable books, so that each group
would include works of fiction. nature,
travel, history and agriculture. There
has been a steady demand for them,
and many more calls have been re-
ceived than could be supplied. This
being the fact, twenty more libraries
will be added within the near future,
arrangements for which were made at
the last annual meeting of the state
grange at Hartford. This will make
thirty travelling libraries, with twenty
books each, circulating among the
oranges in the Nutmeg State. The
plan is very commendable and is wor-
thy of still greater multiplication. De-
tails of management, including the
matter Of obtaining library or any
suggestions bearing on the question,
can be secured from Professor C. S.
Phelps Of Chapinville, Conn.

The Flag In the Granue,

It IS a rather pleasing idea that has
been extensively adopted in the
oranges of New Hampshire, if we are
correctly Informed, of having the stars
and stripes displayed in the grange
hall. 1t is to be hoped oranges i'll other
states will follow the example and
that in the near future no grange hall
furnishings will be considered COM
plete without the national emblem in
the shape of tastily draped flag.

nowned than war" Let US use every
effort to instill this principle in the
minds of our young people.

Medford enjoys the distinction
of being the only city south of
Salem where the thirsty traveller
may quench his thirst with some
thing thicker than soda water
except by ways that are dark and
devious. Grants Pass, Roseberg,
and klamath Falls have joined
Ashland and Eugene on the water
wagon. The Roseberg brewery
will make near beer, the Grants
Pass brewery will make dena-
tured alcohol. All of the newly
dry towns face financial stringen-
cies. Roseburg loses $4,000 a year
revenue, Grants Pass $500, Kla-
math Falls $4,000 and the smaller
towns III proportion. Many are
the schemes projected for max
ing up the deficiencies Bat a road
and poll tax of about $3 a head
seems mostly favored along with
an occupation tax. Dining cars
on the Southern Pacific are dry
from the time the California
boundary is passed until Marion
county is reached. So are the
buffet and observation cars, all
dry.

One of, the wettest towns in
the country, Sunday night, was
Lincoln, Neb., the home of w. J.
Bryan. A terrific rainstorm, last

of from 2 to Is feet an area of
about Is square miles in that vi
cinity. Several deaths are re-
ported and the property loss was
immense. The train service was
seriously demoralized.

Juvenile Granues.

The Juvenile grange idea should be
developed into general practice. The
juvenile grange is a good school for
the boys and girls. 1t will teach them
self possession, parliamentary practice,
good manners and oratory. It would
be difficult to imagine any other one
thing that would be better for the
farm boys and girls than the juvenile
grange.

CITY MAY NOT COLLECT
Taxes on Lumber Shipped in From
Another State

Washington. Jan. 22.-The case Of
Darnell VS. the city of Memphis, Tenn,
involving the right Of the city to col
lcct taxes on saw logs owned by Oar
nell who is Il lumber manufactures.
was decided yesterday by the supreme
court Of the United States against the
city. There are $4,000 worth of logs,
and Darnell claimed that inasmuch as
they We're brought from various parts
Of the country. levy upon them would
be equivalent to tax on interstate
commerce. Justice White said that in
view of the provisions Of the Tennessee
constitution against Il tax on articles
manufactured in Tennessee. the tax is
discrimination and therefore antagOn-
iStiC to the constitution. To recognize
the right of the state to tax logs
brought in from another state. he said,
would be to recognize the power Of
one place to embargo on the products
Of another, which is not permissible.

profound sensation. The last heard of

caSion to severely score the Catholic

rectly to Tampa, stopping over briefly
at Baton Rouge and another point.
Mrs. Nation will remain in Florida

local news and asked of the progress

in this section. Mrs. Nation declared
that she would communicate with Rev.

SCALP MAN WHO RESENTED
AN INSULT TO A WOMAN
Charles Camp Of Diamond Street Is
Attacked by 5loodthirsty White
Men of Aboriginal
Feroclty

Because Charles Camp. 1895 Diamond
street, resented an insult addressed to
Mrs. c. u. Garner, the wife of his
friend, three men set upon him, threw
him to the ground, cut a circle about
his scalp, another around his left ear
and another about his left wrist. NO
American aborigine could have made
more perfect incision for the removal OF
the scalp, and all that remained for
the assailants to do was to lift 1t from
the skull, At the emergency hospital
to which he was removed thirty-two
stitches were taken in the two wounds
in his head and fourteen in the one in
his hand.
Camp was accompanying Mr.. and
Mrs. c. E. Garner, who live at the same
address, to a party at the home of Mrs
Huntington near Vernon street, six
blocks east of Central avenue, Tuesday
night. when thew were approached by
the three men who are said to have
addressed some remark, to Mrs. Gar
ner. Camp says that he took little part
in the controversy which followed, yet
when he left the Huntington home
early Wednesday morning alone he
found the men waiting for him. They
threw him to the ground and deliberate
J. cut the circles about his head and
ear and severed the tendons of his
wrist. The police were notified but
none of the men has been captured.

WEED BURNER PROVES
PRACTICAL INVENTION
Local Company Has Apparatus Which
Is Used with Success on Rail-
road Lines-Also Re-
moves Snow

Confident they have apparatus that
will solve the question of weed purn,
ing and removing snow from railroad
tracks the Lamb Weed Burner COM
pany, with offices in Long Beach, pc
lieves railroads will be quick TO see
the advantage OF this methoo OF clear
ing their tracks.
Experiments on the Pacific Electric
lines near Los Angeles have been very
satisfactory, according to the reports
of officers of the company, and an eX-
tensive report from the maintenance
of way department of the Oregon Rail
road & Navigation company proves the
efficiency Of the new machine.
Besides this weed burning machine
the company has patents on three 9TH
err machines which are just as prac-
teal as the weed burning device. The
first of these is a machine similar TO
the weed burner, but much larger and
is designed to clear snow blockades,
the idea being to start at the lowest
point on a snowbank and by throwing
over 5000 degrees OF heat into the
bank and melting the snow will run
off as water, thereby saving the ex-
pense of handling the snow.
Two snowstorms in New York city
alone last year cost that city over
ST. 000, 900 to clear the streets. rms
company has a machine for this pur-
pose also, much similar to the f1rst
two, but mounted on an automobile
draw and clearing the streets in the
same manner, by melting the snow
and running it off, doing the work ir
much less time and saving an expense
of millions of dollars annually to al
northern cities.
They also have ground dryer de
signed for the purpose of drying
grounds such as race tracks and base
ball grounds after rains so that event:
can take place on schedule time. This
machine is operated by hand and car
also be used for melting snow and ice
on sidewalks
