its accuracy. 1t is perfectly true,
however. Authorities differ as to the
exact acreage of Yorkshire, one civ.

The Progress and Tucson Post says

Arizona's exhibit carried off over
40 world awards for the excellence
of dry farm products at Lethbrdge,
Alberta, Canada, at the Information
al Dry Farm Congress.
The exhibit consisted of $50 en-.
tries gathered from the several
counties in the State in which dry
farming is practicable. The Ari-
zona car was shipped very early,
owing to the great distance from
the exhibition city and when it was
unloaded, more than half the ex-
hibits were unfit for competition,
owing to sprouting and mildew.
Apples and peaches grown in
Yavapai county mountain orchards.
at attitudes averaging a mile, won
ten blue ribbons in competition with
the fruits of the Wenatchee, Hood
River, Spokane and Yokima districts.
The judges pronounced the fruits
grown in the vincinity of Tucson as
fine in flavor and texture as any in
the world.
Cochise county took. the world
honors in flint and Indian corn,
pumpkins and okra. Navajo put
the other II states and II foreign
countries represented at this great
show out of the running with some
splendid examples of the Mexican
bean. Most of the honors went to
Yavapai, where over 100000 acres
of fertile lands await intensive cul-
tivation by scientific farmers. Yav-
apai excelled in her apples. peaches,
citrons, squash, drouth resisting
corn, milo maize and cantaloupes.
Oklahoma took first prize in the
number of awards made for individ-
ual entries. with Arizona a close
second. This is the first time Ari-
zona has exhibited her products
outside of the United States.

but peep into the activities of the peo-
pie on the farms and see how they OBJ

Thanksgiving day on the farm is a
a genuine product Of enjoyment. de

Its national holidays are observed the
character of the people who inhabit the
country and the city can be determined
by the application Of the same rule.
Probably the majority of the men
folks on the farm turn their thoughts
to hunting on Thanksgiving day. The
instinct to 90 out on Thanksgiving
morning and shoot turkey for the
holiday feast is still quite strong In the
average ruralite. although the birds
/ have become few In number There
are comparatively few places now in
the United States where hunt re
suits in the cuRture Of turkey. Those
good old days when people did not
need to consult the market price Of tur
key when planning their Thanksgiving
feast have gone by. and even on the
farm some thought Is given to the
market price Of the fine young gobbler
before 1t is decided to serve him up
for the holiday dinner instead Of ship
ping him to the city market
But the larder of the prorident farm
family is generally well filed. and per
haps less thought is directed to the
Thanksgiving dinner as to the manner
Of sport and enjoyment that can be
obtained out of the day. Fowls of
some kind are always to be found in
abundance about the barnyard. and
the preparations for the dinner re

BUCKAROO LOSES HAND.
Lariat Winds About Arm, Necessi-
tating AmputatiOn.

Pendleton, Ore.-John Spain,
prominent Union county stockman
and winner of three championships
at the Pendleton Roundup, will have
to compete in future contests one
handed by reason of an accident
which befell him recently while Civ
ing an exhibition of steer-roping.
After throwing his moose over the
horns of the animal, his arm became
entangled in the rope and, when the
lariat was drawn taut by the pulling
horse and the struggling steer. his
arm was so badly cut and bruised
that amputation was necessary at the
wrist.
Spain was one of the most pictur-
esque of the cowboys who have taken
part in the Roundup and his Prov
ess has won for him a name all over
the northwest. At the first Round
up he was winner in the wild-horse
race and last year he won the titles
OF champion bronco-buster and
champion stage-coach driver of the
northwest, along with the purses and
prizes which went with them. He
has won two saddles, one of which
as the most valuable ever made in
the west to be given as a trophy.

FIRES LESS NUMEROUS.
Forest Service Better Equipped for
Fighting Than Formerly.

Better and larger fire equipment
and forces, coupled with a better
knowledge of the conditions which
cause forest fire, are given as the
two reasons by Supervisor M. l..
Erickson that the number of forest
flres are materially decreased from
last year. This year to date there
nave been but 2S fires, while in the
same time last year there had been
~. No fires are burning at this time
and the damage from the 2S is prac-
tically negligible.
In preparation for the fire season
this year, Supervisor Erickson nearly
doubled the amount of lookout sta
tions and changed others to the most
available localities in the forest Be-
tween these lookout stations routes
nave been arranged in such a man
ner that practically every portion of
the forest comes under the eve of
the patrolman at least once a day.
This accounts for the fact that every
lire has been checked before IL be-
came any size
During the past year the forestry
department has spent large amount
OF money in putting before the public
convincing arguments as to the
worth of the nations timber and
do,s and "dont's" for the guarding
against the evil. The result, accord
ing to Mr.. Erickson, is that the hunt
ers OF this season are a great deal
more careful than heretofore.

Rogue River Lime Company Backed
BY Portland Capital.

The Rogue River Lime Company,
which has been doing a great amount
of development work on its property
on Cheney creek, a branch of the
Applegate, has decided to install a
tramway to the quarry.
This company has lately completed
a road up the creek to the point
where the lime rock supply was to
be obtained and contemplated put
tins in the kilns at that place. The
new road had grade of from Is to
20 per cent, however, this being too
steep for the caterpillar traction en-
S1ne to negotiate with ease To do
away with this climb a half-mile
tramway will be erected to deliver
the rock at the bottom of the grade.
and the kilns will be constructed and
the lime burned there.
Kilns of the most modern type are
to be built and the industry will be
developed into one of the big COM
mercial interests of southern Oregon.
The capital behind the enterprise is
supplied by Portland men, who are
the incorporators and stockholders.
The rock, which was found in in
exhaustible quantity, burns into the
best grade of lime, and kilns have
been burned in small way for so
years

Will IGNORE
INJUNCTION
MEDFORD CITIZENS WILL BACK
CONTRACTOR PERHAM.
CITY TO HOLD BOND ELECTION
Decision Comes as Result Of Confer
ence Between Council COMMITTEES.
and ContractOr--MOVing of Old
structure Began Today.

Medford is going to have a new
bridge over Bear creek. This de-
cision was reached Saturday after q
conference between a committee
from the city council and E. G. Per-
ham, to whom the original contract
Tor constructiong the new bridge was
let by the county court. Mr.. Per
ham began tearing down the present
structure and removing it to Jackson
street today
The original contract was for
$33,90O. or this amount the p e.
h. railroad agreed to pay $2,5OO, and
the city of Medford agreed to pay the
county $4,000 for the present
bridge over the creek. This left a
balance of $1S,400 to be paid by the
county.
1t is believed in Medford thai If
the injunction is sustained in the
court of last resort the county will
give the bridge to Medford and then
in all probability city election Will
be called to vote bonds for the city
OF Medtord to build the bridge itself.
If the bonds should be defeated. Con-
tractor Perham would be in posi-
tion to stand the expense of the
bridge himself.
This risk Mr.. Perham, with the
expressed support of a large number
OF Medford business men, is willing
to take.
A temporary bridge win be con-
structed about 100 feet north of the
present structure to provide means
OF transportation while the prelim-
mary work is going on. 1t is ex-
pected that the new bridge Will be
finished about November |, and the
jackson street bridge will be in
shape about the first week in Sep
tember.
The contract for the removal of
the old bridge was let to Contractor
Perham by the city for $4,000.
