CHICAGO, Jan. 8.-The legislature now in session at Springfield has not one, but two United States Senators to elect-one to succeed William LOT inner, who was unseated, and the other to succeed Shelby M. Cullom, whose term expires on March 4, and thus with two to be elected, and the first Democratic administration in twenty years in the saddle, band of twen- ty-siX legislators from the Progressive party fighting Republicans and Demo- crats and no party holding majority in either house, or in joint ballot, the session should be full of thrills.

A FORTUNATE SALE.

The sale OF the railroad bonds to
the Toledo firm that had elready
purchased previous local issues wal
fortunate one. This firm had be-
come informed on conditions al
Grants Pass, and II was because Of
this knowledge OF the situation that
II was more liberal in it's present
dealings than other houses were In
clined to be.
This bond sale assures the immedi-
ate construction OF the line over the
distance OF the first unit. and II
should reach the Applegate early In
the summer. Contemporary with the
laying OF the rails will be completion
OF the plans for the erection OF the
sawmill in this city, this having been
already arranged, the road being
needed to bring the logs here from
the Applegate hills.
The fact OF having the railroad Is
not the important feature OF It's
building. II is the things the rail-
road makes possible, the mills and
the factories, the development OF
the fertile farm lands OF the Apple
gate and Illinois valleys, the estab-
lishment OF homes and the coming OF
new people and capital. But the
greatest OF all the benefits Will come
with the completion OF the road to
the coast when the handicap OF
freight rates will be removed from
the Rogue valley.
Dr. Reddy will return from the
east within a few days, and II IL ex-
pected that he will have definite
news to divulge regarding the line TO
Crescent City. Grants Pass has made
good on what she started out to ac-
complish, and now the success or the
bigger undertaking will follow.

MOUNT MAZAMA.

The highest mountain in Oregon is
Mount Hood, 1925 feet above sea
level. Compared with Mount Whit
ney, to the south in California, and
Mount Rainier, to the north in Wash
ington, each rising we'll above $4,000
feet, Mount Hood does not appear as
a skyscraper. However, according to
the geologists of the United States
geological survey and other author
tiles, Oregon had at one time, prob
ably before the dawn of life upon the
earth, a great volcano which lowered
as far above Mount Hood as does
Mount Rainier, possibly even several
thousand feet higher. This was the
great Mount Mazama. But thousands
of years ago this mountain disappear
ed into the bowels OF the earth and all
that is left today is the huge rim
around >Crater Lake.
Crater Lake is the caldera of this
extinct and collapsed volcano and is
nearly 6 miles in diameter. The in
side walls OF the rim of the ancient
mountain are in places nearly 1000
feet high and almost perpendicular.
The lake itself is in places 1000 feet
deep and parts of the wall rise above
its waters another 1000 feet. A res
toration of the mountain in fancy,
using as a basis the angles of the
lower slopes, which still remain,
shows that the apex could not have
been far from $4,000 feet in height,
so that Mount Mazama was one Of
the most lofty and majestic peaks in
the United States.
The director of the geological sur
yey at Washington has fine topo-
graphic map of Crater Lake and vi
cinity for sale at the nominal price of
10 cents. This map has on the back
an illustrated description OF Crater
Lake and an account Of It's formation
from the ancient mountain.

OIL FIELDS AND GASOLINE
PRICE.

Few OF the thousands OF automo-
bile drivers and gasoline engine oper-
ators have more than a faint idea OF
the extent OF the oil fields which sup
ply their gasoline. The recent rise
In the price OF gasoline has Informed
them In most emphatic way that
either the price OF oil has been raised
arbitrarily by those controlling the
supply, or that the supply is less
than the demand Though possibly
both conditions influence the price,
the latter exerts the greater influence.
Al present the supply is not decreas-
Ing, bu the demand for petroleum
products hase increased so enormous
~ that oil experts are being sent to
almost every part OF the world to To-
cate possible oil fields, This search

BREEDING EGG MACHINES.

The man who makes business OF
growing poultry for profit is in a very
different position from the man who
simply makes a side issue hobby OF 1t.
The hen is fast coming to the dignity
OF commercial importance, and busi-
ness methods must surround her care
and handling to make her return the
profit OF which she is capable. The
agricultural college is making a study
OF the business side OF the poultry in
dustry this season, and will conduct
series OF experiments with the in
crease of egg production and profit in
view. An agricultural experiment
league is to conduct these expert
ments, the idea being to find and
eliminate that portion Of each flock
that does not produce up to the stan
dard, and to breed for egg yield.
These experiments are to be conduct
ed simultaneously throughout the
state.
The league proposes to make three
separate experiments. In the first a
three months record OF the eggs laid
by each hen in the flock is kept. In
the second a similar record for six
months is kept, and in the third
whole years record. II is best, II
possible, to start the experiments at
the beginning OF the laying year,
and to use pullets. The work may
begin when the flock begins laying.
November / is a good time to start
a years record, or 1t may start Octo-
ber / or December /.
In the first three months the early
fall and winter layers may be picked
out. Those will be the kind to breed
from rather than others which,
though they may lay as many eggs in
the year, do so in the season when
eggs are cheaper.
A six months record will show
fairly we'll which are the more profit
able hens. At the end OF that time
there could be wedding out or kill
ing of of the poorest layers. Some
will do pretty we'll for six months,
but will fall short in twelve months,
so they may be removed from the
Hocks when the end of the year shows
conclusively which were the poor
producers.
The remaining fowls would be
those which had made good year
record. The best of these should be
selected for the breeding flock, and
the pullets hatched from their eggs
trap-nested the year after. Those
who wish to build trap-nests like
those originated at the Oregon Agri-
cultural College may obtain bulle-
tin showing how they are made, to-
gether with blanks for keeping egg
records, by writing TO the extension
station OF the college.

COOPERATION WINS.

The producers of other lines of
stun for tho market can find healthy
lesson in the action OF the local poul-
trymen's association. This organiZa-
ton Is now getting a margin over the
market price for their eggs simply be-
cause they stand together and put up
a product that has merit The pur-
chaser OF a Grants Pass egg knows
that he is getting quality and quality
always brings a little more This
quality guarantee has Offset the
freight rate handicap, and Grants
Pass eggs net their owners in the
Portland market the full marke;

HOW TO BOOST.

\ great stream of inquiries regard
ing the Grants Pass district continues
TO pour into the office OF the secre-
tary of the Commercial club. They
come from all points of the compass,
and indicate that thousands of people
are looking about for more con-
genial climate or for locality where
they can better their condition, There
is probably no single district that is
now attracting more favorable atten-
tlon than the Rogue valley. No dis
trict will receive more of benefit
from the army OF immigrants that
will pour into the west during the
next two years than this. But In ex-
tending generous invitation the
people OF the community assume d
certain responsibility. and Il is in the
discharge of that responsibility that
the people are now most interested,
The climate is all that the most en-

duees wondrous crops through the
