FELLOWSHIP MEMBERS
PLAN EXPERIMENTS

Prof. w. II. Lawrence. the expert
of the Fellowship Association, is at
present busily engaged in working out
a system to take the temperatures OF
the Valley in different localities during
the months of April and May, in order
to prepare fighting methods against
frost. He will make map of the
valley and select about 100 orchardists,
who will be furnished with cards and
instructions for conducting the work.
while | have not talked with near
hundred of the ranchers as to taking
up the work, +" said Prof. Lawrence,
"a have discussed the matter with
many of them, and they have offered
me their best cooperation. The frosts
that do damage here occur in the
months of April and May. The fruit
everywhere, on a close examination,
shows that no damage occurs from cold
weather after the month of May
However, there is but a small acreage
of the Valley that will ever suffer
| from frost. From my observations
and examinations, believe that there
are but about 500 acres Of cultivable
land in the whole region that will be
ffected by frosts.
The Fellowship association has made
an appeal through E. A. Beals, super
intendent of the Portland section OF
the Weather Bureau, to have six tenn
poraty observation stations established
in the vail y and key station, which
will telegraph the climatic reports tC
the main office, that of this district
being Portland. Mr.. Beals has notltiec
Prof. Lawrence that funds cannot be
secuted for such work until July !, ol
this wear. The fruit expert will sOor
submit to the representative citizens
of the community circular letter
|. asking that they use all their influence
/ with the states federal representa-
tives toward diverting funds iron
? other districts, where they are no
i needed at present, that they may b,
/ used IN carrying on the local work
E Prof. Lawrence thinks that with CO.
f operative effort such result may b.
secured. Otherwise the work will b
undertaken by the Association.
The thermometers to be used IN th
! work of making the tests will b
T tested alike, in order that there VII
G be no variations in the reports.

COMMISSION APPOINTED
FOR LIGHT SITUATION

At the trial last Saturday before
Judve Bean in the Federal Court at
Portland. wnen NJ c. Evans, president
of the Hydro Electric Co. and bis fore
man. Charles Gill, were ordered to
show cause why the company should
not be fined for contempt, it having
becn alleged by the Pacific Co. that
the restraining order had not been
complied with. the judge came to
conclusion very favorable to the Hydro
Co. A commission was appointed Tues
day. which will come here and make
an investigation OF the technical de-
tails of the wiring of the two systems
and the final decision will be made on
the report Of it's members
MIR. Evans returned from Portland

Every one here must admit
that a good brass band is a nice
organization, and one that adds
much life and pleasure to every
town. A little over two months
ago the young men here organ
lied band of twenty-five pieces
and have been taking instructions
twice a week from Prof. Earl
Church, of Marshall and the
large audiences that go to hear
them at their band room will
testify to the extraordinary
progress they have made in so
short a time. This band is com
posed of our best young men
and boys and is to be conducted
on strictly moral principles.
They have purchased over $500
worth of instruments and have to
meet payments on same regular
ly every month, and now ask the
good people of Jefferson to as
sist them, so they can pay Off
their indebtedness, and later on
they will show their apprecia-
ton by building a band stand
and play open air concerts once
a week. So help the boys along
by contributing something, and
in doing so you will be assisting
a worthy organization.
