COST RAILWAY MILLIONS.
Great Western Orders Care in Hand
ling Eggs.

Chicago -Train-scrambled eggs
are the latest, and their cost is the
basis for vigorous complaint on the
part of officials of the Chicago Great
Western Railroad Company.
In a communication issued to all
employees of the road it is pointed
out that the company pays large
sums of money annually on account
of eggs broken in the loading and
slowing of crates. Experts of the
department of agriculture recently
estimated that $45, 100000 is lost
every year through the improper
handling of eggs.
This is very live subject at this
season of the year." says the com
munication, when the egg industry
is at its height, when thousands of
dozens are offered for transporta-
ton daily and the hungry hordes of
the cities are clamoring for hen fruit
fresh from the farms. 1t behooves
us to move the consignments with
the greatest dispatch and bring them
to the markets in good condition.
So far as an egg is concerned, bar
ring age, there is only one good con-
dition recognized by the consumer,
and that is that it must be unbroken.
Some commodities may be brought
to destination in a damaged condi-
tion and still have a market value as
damaged material, but eggs is eggs
(to quote Mr.. Butler) only when
they are delivered to the buyer in
the size and shape in which they are
produced by the faithful hen. The
scrambled egg loses its value unless
the scrambling is artistically done
by an experienced housewife or chef.
"It has been said that most of the
scrambling en- route is due to the
carelessness of employees. Ignorance
-r'ght rrore"ly be give, % the req
So. Recent special instructions, if
adhered to, will help us to sidestep
many a claim and enable us to
bring egg shipments into terminals
in good condition, thereby increas-
ing the supply and incidentally
making it possible for the eggs to
be scrambled in the proper culinary
manner"

Too Many School Books.

Portland Telegram: a man count
ed 16 books in a package which a
young girl was taking with her to the
high school yesterday, and asks in
indignant surprise what she wanted
with them all. The reason she had
them is that school books are made
to sell. Some of these books nobody
would buy unless forced to do so,
therefore they are forced.
When one considers that there will
be about 10000 pupils in the schools
this year, when he realizes how heavy
is the burden on each individual fam
lily, he will know what a frightful
drain it is upon the community as a
whole. Whatever is needful and can
not be escaped is borne with patience.
but there is a feeling that many
books in the lists are rarely used,
some not at all and Others could Just
as we'll be dispensed with The loss
to poor people hore is something
startling. When the eighth-grade
boy came home Monday he brought
a book list of startling length, the
cost of which totaled more than
days wages. The little fellow in the
fourth grade needed more than SO
for his books, and that without count
ing pencils, tablet and other acces-
sories.
If the children have been in the
Portland schools for several years,
how many text books of art educa-
tion can you find around the house
from No. l in the second grade to No.
Z in the NINTH ranging in price from
20 to 50 cents? Ask the children
how many times these books were
used during the year. Ask any teach
er whether or not she considered
these books of sufficient benefit to
justify the price. Ask her if a few
sets supplied to the building, as is
done in other cities, would not have
answered quite as well.
There is the primary arithmetic,
which has proved of so little value
that our superintendent has found it
necessary to supply each teacher with
typewriter list of problems suit
able for the grade, but, nevertheless,
the parent continues to buy this book,
which is practically unused.
The physiology introduced into the
latter part of the fifth grade is so
filled with technical terms that the
child is scarcely able to read it, let
alone understand it. This book is
merely read by the children, and
when a teacher finds that she will be
unable to cover the required number
of pages in the allotted time, she fire.
quently resorts to the plan of reading
it aloud to the class.
The pupils being supplied with
more books than their desks will ac-
commodate, the teacher usually col
lects the ones little used and piles
them away, which is probably the
best thing that can be done with
them.
But how about the parents who
must foot the foolishly unnecessary
bills?

J. S. Great Bull Moose Pasture.

U. S. a Great Bull Moose Pasture.
A talkative press agent and tea
merchant say Illinois, PENNSYLVANIA.
Ohio and Michigan are nothing more
in the political arena than Bull
Moose pastures with fences around
them, said Carl Schilling, one of the
owners of the Schilling Tea and Cof-
fee Company of San Francisco, while
in Chico recently, relates the Chico
Enterprise.
Schilling has just returned from a
six months trip covering the entire
cities and towns having populations
of between 5000 and 10000 princi-
pally.
1t is generally conceded he claims,
that the presidential contest is be-
tween Wilson and Roosevelt, but that
Roosevelt and Bull Moose stock is
going up so fast that tickers cannot
keep pace with the advance.
N. c. Wagner, in advance Of "Baby
Nine" to appear at the Majestic
theater in Chico next Thursday. is
here from New York. During his
seven weeks trip he has been in
many cities, and because of his occu-
patton comes in close contact with a
fair proportion of the live ones in
every community.
The sentiment of the nation
shows Roosevelt and Johnson the fa-
vorites in the presidential race. It's
one-act production this year, with
the colonel and Johnson playing the
leads he said.
Little is heard, he declared, in the
middle west and New England cen
ters of either Taft or Wilson. except
nthe movies" or papers and maya
zines. The wave of Roosevelt and
johnson permeates the whole politi-
cal atmosphere, he said.

.MEDFORD BOY MISSING
LuOis MegO, Son of Policeman,
Thought to Have Been Kid
mapped Tuesday Afternoon.

Louis Mego, the 13-year-old son
of Policeman Paddy Mego. disap-
peared from his home in Medford
Tuesday afternoon about o'clock.
The police theory is that the lad was
kidnapped, after first being forced
to write note to his father in which
language and facts known only to
adults were used. Searching parties
in automobiles searched the valley
for the lad that night, without sue
cess.
The boy, who was a manly little
chap, lived at the home of Dick Feif-
fer, proprietor of the U. S. cafe, and
he and his father were the best of
friends.
Louis returned home from school
and went out to play. When he did
not show up at dark search began
and the supposition at first advanced
was that he had been spirited away
by Greeks, the father being active in
the securing of evidence leading to
the arrest OF the three suspects in
the Dedaskalous murder. This the
ory was later exploded.
A description was received by the
police of boy, tallying with Louis.
who left Medford Tuesday afternoon
on freight train with two young
men, and kilograms have ben sent
ahead in an effort to stop them for
investigation.
The note, which is not believed to
have been written by the missing
boy, began:
Dear Papa: l am going to run
away"
Then came remarks in the Ian
guage of other persons. The writ
ing is in the hand of the boy, but the
words are those of people of mature
years.
There was nothing in the daily life
OF the father and boy to cause him
to run away.
This incident is link in the chain
of hard luck Officer Mego has faced
during the last two years, typhoid
fever causing the death of his wife
and the illness of himself and the lad
who is missing.

A Boy Burbank.

Eugene Dumond, a 14-year-old AL
bany boy, entered an exhibit of 12
bushels of potatoes at the state fair
which caused the employees of the fair
and the visitors to take notice. The
unusual feature about the exhibit
was the fact that the entire 12 bush
els of potatoes were produced from
a single potato, which was planted in
a hot-house. AS soon as a shoot ap-
peared above the dirt it was care
fully removed and transferred to the
garden, where it was planted. Other
shoots Immediately came, which were
removed as fast as possible. until
nearly 200 had been planted, from
which the entire II bushels were
raised, IL of which are remarkable.

FORTUNE LEFT
MEDFORD MAN
STEWART PATTERSON SHARES
IN $4,000 ESTATE.
AFTER FIVE YEARS LITIGATION
Chicago Property Valued at Three
Million Dollars Is to BE Shared
BY Four Heirs, After Bitter Fight
Over Title.

Chicago. - Corporations which
control real estate in Chicago and
have no other functions have been
Jared by the decision of Judge
Richard Burke in the litigation over
the title of the Stewart building
property at State and Washington
streets, valued at S3,OOO,OOO After
five years of fighting in the courts,
heirs of Hart l.. Stewart, a pioneer
of Chicago, came into possession of
the property.
Judge Burke's decision holds that
the Merrimac company, which has
held possession of the property since
1896, never had a legal existence,
under the law, because the state
charter of 1872 forbids ownership of
real estate by corporations. The de-
Cision also holds that the 102-year
leaes on the ground, which the Mer-
rimac company purchased, has be-
come void.
Under the decision the Northern
Trust Company is made trustee for
the heirs, and Edward A. Shedd who
holds all the bonds and stocks of the
Merrimac company, is held to be a
tenant at will, subject to custer at
any time. The heirs to whom the
property reverts are Mrs. Lorenzo
johnson, Winnetka; Stewart Patter-
son, Medford. Ore; Mrs. Augusta
johnson, New York, and Mrs. Sidney
Williams, Chicago.

ACTION TO GUST COUNCIL.
Validity of Gold Hill Charter At
tackled in Court.

Gold Hill News: The uuestiona-
BILE validity of the present city coun-
ell and their official acts was
brought to focus on Wednesday af-
ternoon by the service of quo war
Tanto proceedings upon Mayor R. C.
Kelsey and his fellow members of
the board.
Under the complaint brought by
the state of Oregon, ex rel. ]. c.. Bee
man, plaintiff, the present city coun-
ell of Gold Hill is declared to have
unlawfully usurped, intruded into,
and are now unlawfully holding said
offices" and the complaint further
maintains that the former city coun-
ell, elected in 1911, are in reality the
actual mayor and members of the
city council of Gold Hill.
Mayor Kelsey and the respective
conncilmen, John Palmer, joseph
DIETRICH, w. K. Walker, Frank Will
marth and George Lands, are re-
qulred to appear in the circuit court
Eor jackson county within ten DAYS
oi the service of summons, to answer
Ghe complaint and show cause why
their claims as members of the CITY
VI.
The original cause of the action
uates back to November, 1911, when
the present city charter was adopted
through the attempt to sell water
bonds provided for in this charter il
was discovered that a doubt existed
concerning the validity of the char
Ter, which had not been adopted in
direct conformance with the provis-
lons of the law. Theselection of the
present city council was held in April
OF this year under the recently adopt-
ed charter, and is therefore held un
der the present action to be equally
void OF effect.
the complaint is upheld by the
court the members of the former
board, OF which j. H. Beeman was
mayor and l.. r. Cardwell. Walter
Dnngey S. X. Hodges and Henry
Miller were councilmen, still com
prise the city council of Gold Hill.
and retain their official capacity nm
I'll their successors are legally elect
ed
The outcome of the case will be
awaited with considerable interest
aas the intent of the action is not to
discredit the members of the de
taeto' council. but to definitely de-
termine the legality of the proposed
bond issues and place the town in
position to go forward with certain
projected improvements.
Il am personally pleased that ac-
tion has been brought in this man
ner,' said Mayor Kelsey, after the
service of the summons upon him,
in that the present council has been
acting under the advice of the city
attorney, who instructed that the city
would be spared expense by permit
ting the action to be instituted from
another source"
