CHILDREN ASKED TO ENTER CONTESTS FOR PRIZES

Work on the district fair that is
TO be held in this city in September
is progressing, and according to all
preparations now being made, the
fair this fall will be by far the big
gest and best that has been held in
the district since the Inauguration of
the present fair system. On every
hand is manifest an interest in the
fair. Many ranchers and fruit grow
ers are preparing their products for
exhibition and the list of exhibitors
is growing daily. D. NJ. Lowe, who
has charge of the exhibits, is work
ing incessantly and is enthusiastic
over the prospects. All interested in
the contest for prizes are urged to
observe the following notice from
Mr.. Lowe:
Now is the time to select sam
pies of grain for the 1912 district
fair. Cut the grain near the ground,
selecting good stalks and uniform
heads of its kind, and tie in bundles
about four inches in diameter.
Wrap them in canvass or any old
cloth to keep flies from specking the
bundles, then suspend by wires to
keep mice from getting at them

FIRE BLIGHT DISASTROUS.
Prof. O'Gara Says Much Destruction
in Other Districts.

According to advices received by
Prof. O'Gara vast destruction of fruit
has occurred all over the country by
fire blight this year. The ravages
have been heavy in many sections
and requests for advice from the To-
cal expert and demands for literature
issued by O'Gara are being daily re-
ceived by wire and mail. But little
damage has occurred in the Rogue
river valley, where blight is under
good control, due to the efficient pa
troll of orchards by owners and in
spectors and prompt action following
the discovery of infection.
Blight is working havoc among 25
square miles of apples and pears in
British Columbia, where it is MAX
ing its first appearance. Ignorance
of effective methods of fighting it is
to blame for it's spread.
In Idaho all pears and some apples
are affected, and unless prompt ac-
ton follows, many thousands of
acres OF orchard will be lost.
In California blight made its ap-
pearance early in the spring in many
districts, but prompt action by au-
thorities has controlled its ravages.
In some districts the crop of this
year is seriously affected.
In the Milton and Freewater dis
tricts in Washington, and in other
districts, considerable damage has
been done, but effective fighting has
diminished the ravages.
In Montana, where blight is d new
importation, practically all the pears
and crabapples have suffered heav.
lily, and some other varieties of ap.
pies are also affected.
In Georgia the pear crop is totaI
failure and many of the pear or,
chards destroyed.

LAW CAN'T TOUCH GLADE.
Man who Executed Bogus Option on
SiletZ Lands is Safe.

Salem, Ore.-That there is no law
in this state under which George II.
Glade, Joplin, Mo-, can now be prose-
cuted for executing a bogus option
covering 112,640 acres of lands in
the Siletz Indian reservation belong
ing to settlers, to A. M. Hasell of
Springfield, Mo-, is the declaration
made by Attorney General Crawford
in a letter to Congressman Hawley.
The contract was filed in Toledo
in February and recently was re-
leased and the congressman asked
the attorney general for the status of
the matter and also for the law ap-
plicable to the case. The contract
executed purported to give Haswell
the right to sell the land and was
executed without the knowledge of
the settlers who had taken it up un-
der the homestead law, and the re-
lease is also filed without their
knowledge.
The attorney general gives it as
his opinion that it was executed for
the purpose of casting cloud upon
the title of the settlers and in the
hope of securing a reversion of the
public domain by the department so
those interested in the contract could
appropriate the tracts involved.

GUY 7. DUNBAR
LOSES HIS LIFE
LOCAL ENGINEER KILLED IN
WRECK NEAR WEED.
ENGINE TURNS OVER ON CURVE
Branch Line to Klamath Falls Scene
of Accfdent-Fireman Escapes
Without Injury When Helper
Jumps the Track.

Engineer Guy T. Dunbar of this
city met death about o'clock Friday
evening when the engine he was driv-
ing turned completely over on a
sharp curve at Grass Lake, near
Weed. Cal, on the Weed-Klamath
Falls line. Fireman Arthur Selby
escaped without injury 1t is ex-
planned that the accident happened
when the engine was returning after
helping train No. 230 to Grass Lake.
Dunbar was unfamiliar with the
road, according to the report, and
was driving a light engine. The
curves are very sharp and the acci-
dent is said to have been due to ex-
cessive speed. The engine turned
completely over, clearing the track.
Engineer DUNBAR was caught under
it and badly bruised. Train No. 40
found the derailed engine and picked
up the crew. The injured man was
hurried to the hospital at Weed,
where competent surgeons did all
they could for him He was found
to be beyond assistance, however,
and died at S:45.
Superintendent Metcalf and Mas
ter Mechanic Small hastened immedi-
ately for the scene of the wreck, TAX
ing with them a board of inquiry.
The decision of the board has not
been learned.
Mrs. Dunbar hastened to Weed as
soon as the intelligence was received
and from there accompanied the
body to Sacramento, where funeral
services will be held under the direc-
tion of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers. The local Masonic
order made instant inquiry and ten
dered its kind offices upon receipt
of the news, Mr.. Dunbar being a
member of the Blue Lodge and Chap
ter in Ashland Besides a wife he
leaves an aged father in Sacramento.

THE BOY ADVENTURES.
Party of Three Meet Adversities in
Storm.

They were all after adventure
Robert Peachey, Walter Smith and
Guy Reynolds. Town life was too
tame and tiresome, so they must
rough it, little just for one after
noon at least. The day was very
warm and sultry, not leaf of ma
lures trees was stirring, and the
boys wondered where the best place
would be. They finally decided upon
going to the great stream of Bear
creek.
Starting about l p. m, they
reached the creek in the vicinity of
Mr.. Kennard S ranch. The boys were
very warm and the water was very
cool, so they started their adventures
by wading and often forded the creek
where it was unnecessary. Presently
Robert Peachey espied crows nest.
Nothing could be done till they had
! Investigated the matter. There was
a very deep pond between them and
the tree, so they went around to the
other side. The brush was so thick
that they could not see ten feet in
| front of them. That did not stop
! them. They forced their way
| through the vines and wild grape,
nettles, poison oak, thorn and myr-
| tie. At last the tree was gained, but
! it was at least twenty feet to the first
| limb and two and one-half feet in
/ diameter. Walter Smith then stood
on the ground, Robert Peachey
mounted his shoulders and Guy Reyn-
| olds mounted Roberts shoulders,
but to their disappointment they still
lacked about three feet of reaching
the limb, so they had to leave the
tree and work their way out to the
open again.
| They had no more adventures till
| they reached the Murphy soda
springs. They took a drink of the
water as it started to rain They
started for the lithia springs then on
a run. The rain began falling faster
and the boys were getting wet. Rob-
! ert Peachey, who is very quick eyed
espied table which some campers
had made of siX-inch rough lumber,
so they got in under that
The rain was coming faster and
harder and the boys began to get
wet They decided to try and make
it on to the lithia springs. On they
went through water to the knees Of
almost running mud, then on rocks
and on till they reached the springs
Walter picked up a dry stick and
began rubbing very fast on the edge
of a table. 1t began to excite the
! other two boys when they saw smoke
rise, but it did not burn enough to
start the fire. Then they all worked.
They took rope and wrapped arounu
the stick and sawed real fast, but it
burned the rope before it made the
! fire.
To keep things lively, Walter gave
few of his stories and cracked
some jokes, as they say, so things
were not so monotonous. But it still
got colder. Then they found a can
containing three matches. Then they
built fire, which they all enjoyed
very much.
AS soon as the boys had warmed
! themselves enough to go on their
way it was $50 o'clock. All along
the road they found squirrels, snakes
and rats that had been drowned.
Numerous places were seen where
the water had cleared the road SO
that it made good roads. They found
places where they had to wade the
streams, but were not so anxious as
when they were starting at noon.

PAVING POSTPONED.
Medford Residents Threaten Injunc-
ton on Improvement of Street.

A threat made by several prop
perty owners on Eleventh street to
serve an injunction against the city
if the Clark-Henery Construction
Company was allowed to fulfill their
contract and pave the street, caused
the improvement work to be tempo
rarily postponed Thursday. The
matter will be taken up between
now and September, when the paw
ing company will resume work in the
city again.
At the time of the letting of the
contract the property owners main
tain that the council gave the work
to the paving company when there
was remonstrance of 175 majority
to the petition to pave. According
to these people, the Bancroft act
holds that street cannot be i'm
proved unless majority of the prop
erty owners have signed a petition
to that effect. Porter j. Neff, for
the city; states that the Bancroft act
is valid if only l per cent are in
favor of the Improvement if the
council has ordered the improve
ment.
The council claim that in letting
the contract they were apprised that
though there were 175 feet more on
the remonstrance than on the petit
tion to pave, large number were
in favor of the improvement who
had not signed the petition.
Rather than be inconvenienced by
a suit, the Clark-Henery Company
t. 4
plant to Eugene. where they have a
large amount of work. They will
return again this fall to complete
Eleventh street and several other
Streets s.-Medford Sun.
