SUBSCRIPTION RATES
TEACHERS SUPPORT ASHLAND
~ NORMAL

The teachers OF southern Oregon
are unanimous in their demand for
the re-opening OF the Ashland Nor
NAL school. and Monday afternoon
adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, the Josephine and Jack
son County Teachers Institute has
annually declared in most unmis-
taxable tones for the re-opening OF
the southern Oregon state normal
school; and
Whereas, the legislature has by
practically a unanimous vote recon-
mended to the people at the coming
election in November. 1914, a mill
age bill whereby the appropriation Is
taken out OF the legislature, and
therefore out Of politics;
BE II resolved, that the Josephine
and jackson County Teachers In
stitute give said bill its hearty sup
port until the measure is finally
adopted into law, and that special
committee OF five be appointed to
draft a suitable address setting forth
to the citizens OF oregon why said
measure should be carried"
The following resolution was also
adopted and wired to Portland to
the Congress OF Mothers in session
there:
BE II hereby resolved by the
teachers OF Josephine and Jackson
counties. In institute assembled at
Grants Pass, that we extend greet
ings to the Congress OF Mothers as
sembled in Portland. Be It further
resolved, that we recognize In the
work Of these women a great benefit
10 humanity to which we lend our
endorsement and support. BE It
further resolved, that we ask their
support OF the measure now pending
before the people OF Oregon provid-
ing for the states support OF the

sistered. In his letter of advice the
.ttorney-general said;
you have asked the opinion OF
this office as 10 the right OF electors
to vote at the polls at a special city
election without previous registra-
ton.
Replying thereto would advise
you that in my opinion they have
such right. The supreme court Of
this state has held in case Of Lives
ley VS.. Litchneld, ~ Oregon 24S,
that a provision in a charter prohib.
iting any person from voting at any
election In the city who has not paid
a road poll tax is unconstitutional,
as being in violation OF article XI,
section OF the constitution prescrib-
ing the qualification OF electors.
Again, in White VS.. Commissioners.
1S Oregon, S17. the court held that
any law requiring previous registry
is unconstitutional and ipso facto
void as being in violation OF the con-
stitutional provision above noted
you will note that section 6 Of
chapter 32S, general laws Of 1918,
the same being the recently enacted
registration act, provides that in the
event Of the act being held uncon-
stitutional the voter may vote at
the polls by using Blank A. In view
OF the previous decision OF the su-
preme court holding a similar sta
tute unconstitutional and void, would
advise you that in my opinion the
voter may vote at the polls by the
use OF Blank A without previous re-
gistration.
"By section 21 OF said chapter 1928,
the act is made applicable to city
elections, and therefore would apply
thereto in all respects"

THE TEACHERS RESOLVE.

Before adjournment the members
of the institute adopted resolutions
covering numerous subjects. They
expressed their appreciation Of the

of the spirit displayed by the citi-

ers, and unanimously endorsed the
referended appropriation which the
people will vote upon in November
for new buildings for the. state uni
versity, and commended Governor
West for the appointment of j. A
Churchill as state superintendent OF
public instruction. The teachers also
recommended that the state superin-
tendent take steps leading to the ne
cessary legislation for the standard
lzation of the high schools of the
state, and for the abolishment of the
present state Sth grade examinations.
The continuation of the joint insti-

ties was endorsed, and 1t was asked

PUBLIC MARKET SUCCEEDS.

Saturday was another successful
day in the public market. all the
fourteen stalls being filled with pro-
ducers and a steady stream of pur-
chasers adding TO the wealth OF the
tilers OF the soil. There is an ex-
cellent variety of produce being Of
fered each market day now, the
showing Of fruits being especially
good. Many articles are now being
offered that are bit out Of the COM
mon, and one can buy homemade
hominy, cottage or Dutch cheese, ci-
der, and scores OF other things that
tickle the palate and help out with
an appetlzing menu. Il is expected
that during the winter there may be
a time when fruits and vegetables
will be scarce, but with the increase
In the offerings Of butter, eggs, chick
ems and meats 1t is thought that the
market can mainain its interest and
be in a position to become firmly es-
tablished and permanent institu-
tion by spring. Its success thus far,
starting late in the season when the
farmers had made no special provi-
sion for It, has been remarkable, and
larger and permanent quarters should
be provided before spring, There
is already a demand that the muni-
cipality take over the control of the
market, and that a modern building
be erected Some of the merchants
have shown their good will toward
the market by going to it for sup
plies of fruit, and 1t is believed that
the consumption of home grown pro-
ducts has been nearly doubled in
the city since the institution Of the
market. The merchants report that
their sales of home grown products
have increased since the campaign
commenced, and certainly consump-
ton OF fruits and vegetables through
out the city is much larger than
heretofore.

PETROLEUM DIsPLAcEs COAL.

PETROLEUM DIsPLACEs COAL.
On account OF the large production
Of petroleum in California and its use
for fuel, coal mining has practically
ceased in that state. the production in
the last two years being only 1O,7H
tons in 1911 and 1O,97S tons in 1912,
according to Edward W. Parker, OF
the United States Geological survey.
The production Of petroleum in CAL
lfornia in 1912 was S6,450,767 bar
rels, OF which not less than 50,O0O,-
900 barrels was used directly for fuel.
Large quantities OF oil are also used
in place OF coal for gas making, and
on the estimate that az barrels Of
petroleum is equivalent to 1 ton Of
ordinary bituminous coal, It is prob
able that from 100000 to 100000
tons OF coal would be required to per-
form in California the service now
rendered by petroleum in the produc-
ton OF heat. light, and power. Cali
fornia oil is the principal fuel for To-
comotives as far north as Washing
ton and across the Sierra and the
Cascade range, its freedom from
sparks serving as great protection
against forest fires, as compared with
coal or wood fuel. It is used almost
exclusively on inland and coastwise
steamers and to an increasing extent
by the trans-Paciflc steamers. 1t has
even displaced coal on Puget Sound,
many OF the steamers OF the Canadian
Pacific feet plying between Vancou-
YER, Victoria, and other points hav-
ing been equipped fcf oil burning.
There is still however some demand
for coal In California, par;icu arly for
domestic use and for bunker trade at
San Francisco, but It Is almost ex-
clusively supplied by Goals from other
states and from abroad.

MAKING THE SOIL PRODUCE

What the Rogue valley needs is
men who will till the soil Men who
will make our fertile acres produce
new wealth, and not permit them to
lie idle and unproductive in the hope
that others will by their efforts and
their dollars enhance their values.

when he said that the basis of pros
perlty in the western country was

that can never be developed under
present conditions, and it is sure that
this development must come largely
through men and capital from the
United States. But these men should
bide their time. Uncle Sam will not
send his boys there TO protect the dol
lars Of greed. The time will come
when this government will have to
intervene, but when that time comes
intervention can undoubtedly be ac-
complished without unnecessary
bloodshed.

FEDERAL PROTECTION OF
BIRDS

Laws for the protection Of the
game animals and birds of the coun-
try are undergoing continual change,
sometimes for the better, often with
little advance for the better. The
idea is for better laws, and some
time the better laws will be found,
but unfortunately It Is then often
too late to serve the purpose Fed
eral regulation OF migratory birds is
one of the greatest advances made
In late years In the scheme OF game
and bird protection, and It would be
we'll II the federal government could
have charge OF the law-making COW
ering all the game animals that are
common to the various states,
The new law covering migratory
birds divides the entire country into
two zones The first is the breeding
zone and includes the twenty-five
states lying mainly north OF the
Ohio river and latitude 40 degrees.
In this zone the closed season FOR
all water fowl, shore birds and rails
is from December Is to September I,
except for slight variance In dates
IN few states For woodCock. the
clo2ed season in general extends tc
October L. The second zone Is known
as the wintering zone and includes
the rest OF the country In this the
closed season for waterfowl Is from
February to November, generally
speaking other game birds fare
equally we'll.
II has been decided that doves ast
not covered by the new federal Law

hlblted in all parts OF the country

MEXICAN PATRIOTISM.

a study OF conditions and men in
the continuous embroglio in Mexico
proves that personal ambition of the
leaders counts for all, while national
patriotism or the desire to see Mexico
and MeXicans prosper in peace and
happiness stands for naught Mexico
is governed as much by tyranny and
blood as was Cuba under Spanish
rule. and the ultimate outcome will
undoubtedly be like that Of Cuba.
For the Butcher Weyler, Mexico has
many butchers, and tenure of Office
is marked by escape from the assas-
sins knife or the murderer's bullet.
II would seem the height Of folly for
the United States to step in and at
tempt to establish one Of these butch
ers in his self-assumed position. and
the administration has followed the
course Of wisdom. Some day Mexico
will become great country. being
