COMPLIMENTS O'GARA.
Editor of Encyclopedia of Horticul-
ture Pays High Tribute.

DR.. Granville Lowther, editor-in-
chief of the Encyclopedia of Horti-
culture, now in course of compila-
tion, pays the following compliment
to Professor P. j. O'Gara, pathologist
for Jackson county:
IF it is possible, we want you to
do two things for us. First, we feel
that the Encyclopedia of Horticul.
ture will not be complete without an
article from you, on the Control OF
Pear Blight. In fact, we wish you
would take the whole subject of pear
blight and handle it from beginning
to end.
Second, we wish, if you can, you
would do us the favor to review the
materials that we finally get togeth.
er, on Pests and Diseases We are
collecting, writing and arranging this
material, but we want the criticisms
and suggestions of man who com
bines technical scholarship and prac,
tical experience. In other words, we
want the best, as we hope our work
will be the best of its kind ever pub
lished. We think you combine these
elements in greater degree than any
man in the United States"

(From Klamath Herald, Aug. 19.)
E. r. Smith of Ashland and his
two nephews, Bert and Chester, ar
rived in a Ford car this morning
from Spencer creek, where they spent
the night, after having started from
Ashland yesterday morning. They
are well equipped for camping and
are on their way to Crater Lake to
view the glories of nature there ex-
pecting to stop tonight at Fort Klam-
ath.
We've had no trouble with the
car whatever" said Mr.. Smith, but
some other folks along the route
were not so fortunate, we noticed,
and were laid up for repairs On
leaving Spencer creek we possibly
took the worst road of the two, for
we turned to the left. Maybe we
should have picked out the route to
the right. We found the roads
seemed to be very poor, even for
mountain roads, and they were
washed out in good many places. 4"
The Smith auto has one of the
healthiest sounding horns that has
been heard in this region for some
time, and it works by mere pressure
of button.

comfortably filled. Mr.. Coulter met
with considerable opposition on the

her entire state tax and still leave
some $4,000 to be applied to her

NAT GOODWIN INJURED.
Boat Overturned i'm Breakers and
Body Dashed on Rocks.

Los Angeles.-Nat c. Goodwin, the
actor, was seriously injured at noon
Thursday at a rocky point II miles
south of Hueneme, by first being
thrown from a skiff onto the rocks
by the strong breakers and then
struck by the boat itself as it was
dashed ashore.
Goodwin in company with wom-
an of his company, who refused to
give her name, engaged Captain
Hyder and launch of Santa Monica
to make trip up the coast with a
view to locating some land whicn
he said he wished to buy to turn into
a summer resort. The woman had
note which she told Captain Hyder
was for an Indian who lived near
Hueneme, and when that point was
reached and she saw the hut on the
shore, she demanded that Hyder take
the note ashore and deliver it.
Hyder refused because of the
strong tide and the breakers. Good
win grabbed the note, jumped into
rowboat, telling Hyder to follow
him. AS the boat reached the break
er line it was overturned Goodwin
was thrown ashore and stunned
With the next wave the boat was
brought ashore and thrown upon
Goodwin, rendering him uncon
scious. Hyder got Goodwin into the
launch and hurried to Santa Monica
where the actor was placed in hos.
pital. His physician says the pa.
tents condition is grave.

TRIAL COST $25,Oec
Likely Balm Charge VIII BE Pushed
Against DarrOw.

Los Angeles, Cal-District Attor-
ney Fredericks refuses to make a
statement in regard to the Darrow
case, but his general attitude is
meant to convey the impression that
he will proceed to the second trial
of Darrow on bribery charge.
If the case comes to trial, Fred
ericks himself again will be the COM
mander-in-chief of the states forces.
He will be assisted. as in the first
trial, by Assistant District Attorney
Joseph Ford and possibly Deputy
District Attorney G. Ray Horton,
who was his chief lieutenant in the
trial of the McNamaras.
Darrow personally believes that he
must face the bar on the Balm
charge. He stated that if Fredericks
decides to prosecute, he will be de-
Tended again by Earl Rogers and
possibly Horace Appel.
Rogers maintains an air of indiffer-
ence. He said:
1T is immateral to us whether
they proceed or not. If the district
attorney actually believed the Balm
case the stronger of the two against
Mr.. Darrow, the chances are that he
would have tried him on that first.
We are ready if there is anything to
be ready for"
Fredericks admitted that the Dar-
row trial cost the state $4,000.

On account of a protest from citi-

man street septic tank against the
erection of a powder magazine in
that vicinity, the council last Tues
day evening voted to locate the
storehouse on the old Goble property
up the canyon. A part of this prop
erty was accordingly leased to T. H.
Simpson for the storage of powder.
The matter of storing explosives in
the city limits had been brought up
at previous meetings and the septic
tank site selected for the storehouse.
A general shakeup OF committees
was made in order to give Council
man Werth his proportionate share
of responsibilities. The new coun-
Gilman was given a place on four i'm
portant committees, namely, fire and
water, sanitary, sewer and license
and ordinances.
An ordinance covering the issu-
ance of city Improvement bonds in
sewer district No. II was adopted, as
also one covering the storing of ex-
plosives.
After due consideration, the coun-
Gil voted to borrow $2,5OO for the
electric light fund from the street
fund, it being represented that the
latter fund has large surplus, while
the former is depleted The action
was declared to be entirely regular
and would at the same time be a
means of revenue for the street fund,
the interest rate of per cent being
voted
The street committee offered reso-
lutions calling for the improvement
of number of the principal streets

recorder directed to institute the
usual proceedings.

light plant was instructed to pur-
chase a supply of coating with which
to paint the city electroliers and
make them waterproof. Consider
able difficulty was encountered last
winter with the electroliers becom-
