RAISED A PAY CHECK
John w. Walker Attempted to Pass
Suncrest Orchard Check Raised
From 1925 TO $42.25.

John w. Walker, a laborer, who,
had been working a short time at
Suncrest orchards near Talent, was
taken to Medford today to be given
a preliminary hearing on the charge
of raising a check. He had been
given check for $2.25 and raised
it to the sum of $42.25 and present.

payment. r. b. AdamsOn. the cash
ier, Immediately suspected from the
appearance of the check that it had
been tampered with and he tried to
get II. F.. Meader, the manager OF
the orchard, over the phone, but was
unable to do so. He had Walker de-
tanned, however, and DR.. Hart and
r. l.. Burdic, who happened to be
there with his auto, took the check
to Mr.. Meader, who at once hurried
to the phone and told Mr.. Adamson
to hold Walker. Walker was taken
to Medford this morning on a war
rant sworn out by County Attorney
Kelly, and, as above stated, is hay
ing hearing today.

John B. Ratio. the impersqnator.
the fourth number in the Ashland

entertainments of the kind ever seen
in Ashland. He held the close at

throughout. His makeups, done in
full sight of the audience, were re-

ence.

ber of the course, which comes three

OCARA TALKS TO THE ORCHARDISTS
PATHOLOCT GIVES LONG ARTICLE ON NECESSITIES OF ORCHARDS
In The SPRING time

With the advent of fine weather
comes the necessity of cleaning up
the orchards before the blossoming
season begins. This will be neces-
sary in order to prevent widespread
infection, through various pests, into
all the orchards of the country. The
most important disease which should
be closely guarded against is pear
blight, which affects all pomaceous
| fruits, viz: Apple, pear, ounce, To-
quat, serviceberry, haw and noun
tain ash Therefore, all trees above
named should be carefully examined,
end, if found diseased, the affected
parts destroyed. Remember that
pear blight is a bacterial disease
which cannot be cured. However
its spread may be prevented by care
fully removing all cases of infection
which have held over from the pre-
vious year. The germ does not live
in the ground, nor does it fly about
in the air; it lives only in the bark
| tissues and the ca1nbium layer of in
| fected pomaceous fruit trees. To
show how dangerous this germ is, a
single organism, Il permitted to re-
produce under ideal conditions,
would give rise to LAO, O,000,-
| 100000 organisms in "a hours, In
sects are the agents of distribution,
and, when it is known that the aver
age flower on a fruit tree may be
visited at least 20 times during it's
| life, we see the chances for infection
through this source are very great,
! providing living germs are in the i'm
mediate vicinity where insects may
come in contact with them.
| Besides pear blight, we have an
other enemy which must be fought
the San Jose scale, or Chinese scale
! as it should be called. The CONNER
cial orchards are particularly free
from this insect pest, but SOME town
! lot orchards are not. This insect,
according to Professor L. c. Marlatt,
U. S. department of agriculture, is
so prolific that single female, dur
/ ing a single season, would have
3,216,OSO,4O descendants.
Supposing that Call these insects
from single female, which had
! been permitted to winter over, had
secured foothold on the fruit of an
apple orchard, and allowing 20 scale
insects for each apple, 1865
boxes of apples, with an average of
130 apples per box, would be rem
dered unstable. Think of 1000
carloads of fruit rendered unstable
by one insect! AS matter of fact,
according to the state horticultural
statistics, a single scale insect found
upon a fruit would render it unsal-
able.
We are giving these enormous fig
ures in order to make everyone feel
the necessity of cleaning up. 1t is
not a matter OF the few trees in
your own orchard or lot, but it con-
Germs the whole community, and par
ticularly the commercial orchardists
of the valley. A number of people
never feel like doing anything until
the inspector comes. and then feel
that the inspector wants to do them
harm. An inspector never destroys
property, but does abate nuisances;
and this in accordance with his in
structions. 1t is remarkable that

SENTIMENT SEEMS TOFAVOR MARKET
The MEDFORD PEOPLE LARGELY FAVOR PUBLIC MARKET BUSINESS
MEN SOMEWHAT DIVIDED


visited the public market at Medford
Tuesday and interviewed the market
master, purchasers and producers,
and also visited a number OF busi-
ness houses to see what the general
opinion was as to the public market.
While in some instances there was
fault found with the method of
handling the market, in no instance
was a man found who would say out
right that it should be abolished.
Narketmaster E. ]. Runyard was
among the first interviewed. He ex-
pressed regret that the visit had not
been made on a Saturday and in the
busy season of the year, as on other
days at this time there is compare
lively little business being done.
The Medford market is conducted
in a building about 50x100 feet in
size, constructed for that purpose,
and arranged so that there is a row
OF stalls down each side of the
building These stalls are each
8x10 feet in size and each has a door
opening in the side of the building,
so that the producer can bring his
stuff directly into his own stall.
These stalls rent for SO per month
OF 90 cents per day each, and are
only rented to bona fide residents
OF the county.
The plan originally was only to
permit each person to sell the stuff
that he produced, but this was found
to be impracticable. as in the case of
meats, for instance, it was found
that there was net single stock
raiser in the county that could sup
ply the demands of the market from
his own raising, and as the equip
Ment of meat stall was quite ex-
pensive, including provisions for re-
frigerating meat unsold at the close
OF the market, strict adherence to
the rule would have debarred any
meat stall at all and would have
rendered the market unsuccessful as
the meat stalls were among the best
drawing cards.
1t was therefore decided by the
council committee in charge to limit
the sale to meat and produce aetu-
-,
Another reason why it was impos-
sble to strictly enforce the above
rule was that with the grower hav-
ing only an acre or so the cost of the
time in staying at the market was
more than the profit on the stuff, so
they were permitted to turn their
stuff over to others and thus cut out
that expense.
A very short visit to the market
was all that was necessary to demon
strate that the personality and eff
eiency of the marketmaster was a
very important if not indispensable
element in the success of the under
taking. At first thought the market
master seemed simply sort of spec
ial policeman whose duties were only
to see that the stall tenants kept
their stalls in fair shape, did not
short change or short weight their
customers, and that they paid their
stall rent However, these are
among the least OF the Iuties of this
officer, if the market is to be a sue
cess. There are two things that
must be especially guarded against.
One is Cutting the market with any
particular thing, and another is a

REMOVING POLES
FROM SALEM STREETS
Street Railways and Electric Light
Companies Move Poles From the
Streets to Alleys.

AS fast as good weather and bis
gang of workmen will permit the
Portland Railway Light & Power Co..
which is. now busted with removing Its
light poles from the streets of Salem
and replacing them in the alleys is
forging ahead with the big task. Local
Manager w. NJ Hamilton said yester.
day that the very earliest the work can
be accomplished will be in the coming
fall months, but he is Of the opinion
that the work will not be completed
before a year from this spring.
On account of the danger of work
ing with the electrical apparatus dur
ing wet weather little work is done
during any rainy period. Wet poles
and wet ground increases the danger
by very large per cent and the COM
pany does not care to impose upon
its workmen the risk of the work dur
ing any more than an ordinary damp
period.
The company will expend a total
Of about $4,000 in replacing its poles
in Salem. The change is the result
of action taken by the city council
with a view to undermining the Salem
streets. At first a complete under
ground system Of wires was advocated
by the council but the company i'm.
pressed upon the city fathers the i'm
practicability Of this for a city the
size Of Salem. It was shown that an
underground system would cost the
company vastly more than the allie,
system.
A difficult feature Of the work of
placing the poles in the alleys is tc
keep the wires at a sufficiently great
distance from the buildings to render
them safe This is done by specia
arrangement of cross-arms. The re
moval Of the poles from the streets
make It necessary to remove all en-
trance of wires into buildings iron
the street sides of buildings to tn,
rear This adds considerably to tn,
neat appearance Of the streets.
The Portland, Eugene & Easter
Railroad Co., which has made use
the poles for It's power wires, will sup
port its overhead equipment from Tho
buildings after the poles are removed
except in few places, where poles il
the alleys will be used.

checking the evils revealed by the
wreck of the steamer Titanic are being

by the house August 3, 1912.

vestigating committee, that the bill
will be passed and signed before con-
gress adjourns. The measure was the

THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON.

nT IS stated that Attorney II. j. Par
kinson, who gained unenviable no
torlety over the referendum taken
on the U, of o. appropriations two
years ago, will again attempt to in
woke that law on a portion of the ap-
preparation for the same university
this year, We sincerely hope this Is
not true, We have always thought
Parkinson had hard deal, and that
he was more sinned against than sin
ming in the matter of getting names to
the referendum petitions, and which
gave him undesirable notoriety. 1t is
probable that Parkinson acted in good
faith, and that whatever crooked work
was done in the way of securing
names, II any was done by employees,
who worked him for all there was in
1t, Then the legislature turned down
his bill for work done, and naturally
he feels sore
If he makes any move now to in
woke the referendum, it will be done
through pique, through a feeling of re-
venge through spite; and it will fail,
as it ought to fail. The University of
Oregon must be maintained, and main
tained properly. To do this requires
not only the funds to carry II on, but
proper buildings, roomy grounds and
first-class equipment. Whatever is
worth doing Is worth doing we'll, and
this certainly applies to our education
al institutions, Of which the U. of o.,
In its line stands at the head. 1t has
done magnificent work as the brainy
men who received their education
there and who are now making their
presence felt In all lines Of business
in the state abundantly attest The
millage bill will take the old U. OF
o out Of politics and put 1t on its feet.
It will no longer be the plaything of
legislatures and will be in a position
to carry out its good work unhamp-
cred by uncertain finances and un-
known conditions. Mr. Parkinson will
prove himself broad minded by drop
ping his proposed referendum but If
he does not the people will assert
themselves, and back up the U. Of o,
10 the uttermost limit.
