LONDON, February "a, i9I:
The Lent term at Oxford is now more
than half over. and the torpids-the chief
event of the term-have aroused excep.
tional interest. The Prince of Wales, fol.
lowing the prevailing custom, a friend in.
forms me, has been running with his coli
iege boat during the racing. One day he
actually ran on the towpath after partici-
pating in q game Of ''soccer'-a feat
which speaks well for his powers Of en-
durance. In fact. he seems to be a run
ner OF no small ability. and there is talk
OF his taking up the pursuit more defi-
nitely.
1t would be interesting to see him inside
the ropes at Queens Club in the inter-
varsity contest. There Is quite q pos.
sfbility Of this, for the prince has so set.
tied down to the varsity life. and Is
gaining SO much benefit from his studies.

THE SCRAMBLE FOR LAND.

There is a scramble, mostly by out
siders, for homesteads, timber and
stone claims in that portion of the
county lying south of Hays hill.
Some of these are in township 40
and in some instances land known to
be mineral by all old residents is be-
ing filed upon.
1t may not be generally known that
some forty or fifty years ago while
George E. Briggs was receiver of the
Roseburg land office, he set aside as
strictly mineral land all of township
40 south, range west w. NJ.
There is no more timber on these
lands than the miners need,
and, as rule not enough to consti-
tute timber claim within the mean
ing of the law, and the truth told by
the witnesses would not get either a
homestead or timber claim on min
eral lands.
Who Is going to do the swearing?

WHERE THE COPPER GOES.

Fears are sometimes expressed by
the uniformed who hear OF the
countless thousands of tons OF cop
per ore in the hills of Josephine
county, and OF other undeyeloped
districts that when this mineral is
made available through transporta-
tion the market will be glutted and
the price forced down. The use of
copper in the arts and crafts has in
creased even more rapidly than has
the production. The development of
the automobile has made an outlet

BUREAU OF MARKETS.

At meeting Of the Marketing and
Farm Credits organization, held in
Chicago last week, the creation OF a
Bureau OF Markets Of the United
States government was advocated.
There is no more vital feature Of
the life OF the people OF this nation
than the problem Of marketing. The
public has been shocked by recent
disclosures that have shown the
wide range Of prices between that
received by the producer for the
product OF his toll and the price
paid by the ultimate consumer. The
trouble with the present economic
system Is largely in this range be-
tween the two poles, the loss to the
producer and the expense paid by
the consumer in getting the neces-
stiles OF life from the one to the 9TH

middle man that has made farming
Improbable and has caused the cost
OF living to mount higher and higher
The establishment of a Depart
ment OF Marketing, with a regularly
appointed cabinet officer in charge,
is an essential, and It's bearing upon
the daily life and the welfare OF the
American people will be fraught with
the greatest good. The creating of

an innovation, but II has proven its
worth many times over, and II re-
turns a hundred fold the expense II

ANNIVERSARY OF SORROW.

April 18th is the first anniversary
OF the most distressing catastrophe
OF the age, the sinking OF the great
steamship Titanic and the loss ol
1917 people, including some OF the
worlds best known citizens.
The loss OF the Titanic was marked
not alone through the passing OF 80
many OF Its passenger list, and the
shadow that was cast In homes in all
parts Of the country, but because
also OF the fact that the foremost yes
BEL OF the world, marking a new era
In shipbuildlng and in shipping, had
gone down on her maiden trip across
the water.
The Titanic, launched May 81,
1911, represented the best that mar
Inc architects could build. She was
built for capacity, comfort and
speed. She was SS26 feet long, s2.6
feet beam, was of 1926 tons regis
ter and cost t7,5OO,OOO. She carried
2,223 persons. including the crew.
or these, 1917 were lost and 706
were saved. On the 329 first-class
passengers, 1919 were saved, or go

sengers. 119 were saved, or AZ per
cent; OF the TO third-class passen-
gers, 1874, or 25 per cent, we're saved;
OF the crew, "a per cent we're saved
Among the Inflated passengers on
the ship that went down were some
OF the prominent figures Of contem-
porary life. There were Col John
Jacob Astor, Major Archibald w.
Butt Francis D. Millett, the artist
William T. Stead, Journalist and phil
osopher; Jacques Futrelle, novelist
BENJAMIN Guggenheim, merchant
Charles Melville Hays, railroad pres
ident; Isador straus, merchant and

Moore, sportsman; Arthur Rlyerson,
lawyer; Frederick Sutton, merchant;
and the gallant skipper, Capt. r. ]
Smith. These are but few OF the
illustrlous names and the story OF
how each man died is romance OF
itself.

quire greater time and expense and
technical knowledge than the aver
age small holder is possessed Of,
while one operator working under the
direction Of the agricultural college
could make great headway in a sea-
son or two. The lands for these ex-
periments could easily be obtained
here free of rental for the purposes
of experimentation, and the crops
taken from them would undoubtedly

,Opper the automobile industry has

copper the automobile industry has
built up.
Few realize just what amount OF
copper is used in the construction OF
automobiles.
A considerable portion OF the
worlds automobiles are manufactur-
ed in Detroit In each different make
OF car built in that city, copper is
used to a greater or Lesser degree.
An idea OF what this demand is
may be obtained by considering the
amount of copper used by one motor
company. This year the company is
building 100000 cars. In each one
OF these cars there will be approx
lmately forty-seven pounds OF copper.
This means that this single automo-
bile plant will use more than 9,000,-
900 pounds. Nine million pounds OF
copper is more than the total yearly
output OF some mines. II is half the
yearly output OF the great osceola
Consolidated mine, one OF the larg-
est copper mines in the world.
OF course, there is very little pure
copper user in automobiles. The
most of 1t appears in the form OF
brass in radiators, bushings, wind
shields, etc.
This data will reveal where a lot
OF the copper Of the country is going
and where lot more will go during
the coming years,

EXPERIMENT STATION WANTED


There is becoming a popular de-
mand on the part of the land owners
and producers OF this district that a
state agricultural experiment station
on a small scale be established in this
portion of the Rogue valley Condi-
tions of climate and OF soil are dis
tinctive and different here than in
any other portion of the state Ex-
periments tried and problems worked
out elsewhere will have little If any
value here. 1t is through these dis
tinctive features of climate and of
soil that the Rogue valley will be-
come foremost horticulturally, agri-
culturally, and as home-making
country. The horticultural possibil-
tiles have been we'll tested and the
value demonstrated, but much OF the
agricultural development is in a more
or less experimental stage The indi-
vidual with one or FIVE or ten acres
OF land is not in the best position for
the conducting of experiments as he
must look more to the economic ques-
ton, and produce the dollars. Ex-
pertinent might yield him more or 1t
might on the other hand prove disas-
trous, The state has wisely provided
amply for experimental purposes
along these lines, and provisions
should be made for solving these To-
cal questions. Here for instance
there are at least four distinct soils
each needing different treatment, re-
quirlng different fertilization and diff
ferent irrigation and each probably
better adapted for certain crops than
the others. For individuals to work
out all Of these problems would re-

THE FRIEDMAN TUBERCULOSIS
CURE.

Perhaps at no time within the his
tory Of men now living has so great
an interest been taken in the charac-
ter and application OF a single remedy
as that which now obtains with ref
erence to the so-called tuberculosis
cure originated by the German physi-
cian-Dr. Friedrich F. friedman,
now on a visit to this country. This
treatment, as described in medical
language, consists OF the injection
into the patient of curative serum
or vaccine, elaborated by passing tu-
berculosis germs through the turtle,
the method recalling somewhat the
system OF Jenner for in
oculation against smallpox. AS used
and described by DR.. Friedman, the
vaccine, according to The Pharmaceu-
tlcal Era, is injected intramuscularly
into the patient once twice or three
times-seldom oftener-at long in
tervals.
There is great reason for the in
terest that has been taken In the ap-
plication Of any remedy that prom
ises to stay the ravages OF the Great
White Plague. tuberculosis is an an
Client malady, and so far as We know,
the disease has been responsible for
more human deaths than any other
single agency connected with the life
Of man. Statistics tend to show that
probably one person in every seven
dies OF Il, and a reliable and conser-
vative estimate ascribes to it not less
than 100000 deaths annually. In
fact we have it on good authority,
that there are in this country one
million cases of it, entailing an an
nual cost of from $15O,0OO, 900 to
s2OO,OOO,OO0 With the figures star
ing us in the face that fifteen thous-
and persons die Of 1t every year with
In the state OF New York, and of
these ten thousand die within the
American metropolis, 1t is with fer
vent hope that we look to the future
for help and sufficient reason for the
encouragement that should be given
to all investigators in their search for
means with which to put a stop to
this great scourge. Much has already
been accomplished by the application
Of general therapeutic measures, es-
pecially the now well-known hygienic-
iieletic method Of treatment and seq
regation of patients in communities,
but these accomplishments should
not retard the search for a specific
remedy

CALIFORNIA AND THE JAP.

Oregon has more than a passing
interest in the legislation proposed
by the California legislature in deal
ing with the japanese question. If
the southern state enacts the strin-
gent measure which it is now formu-
lating. then the yellow peril" will
lave transferred itself largely to
Oregon, for the Japs, forced out of
California, will naturally move into
this state. The Jap upon the west
coast is a peril indeed. His trugality
and his industry are commendable,
but the peril of his presence lies in
the fact that unless our own people
are willing 10 accept his standard Of
living, are willing to work Is hours
out Of the twenty-tour to subsist on
the most meager Of fare, to eschew
all the little luxuries that are part
o. the reward for labor in civilized
and Christianized communities, then
those lines Of activity in which the
Jap engages must be given over en-
irely to him. Selt-respecting Amer
lean citizens can not and should not
be forced 10 compete with him.
The dignity Of labor can no longer
be maintained unless Il is protected
from the influence OF the cheap for
