During the past season of spring
frosts it was estimated that fully co.
900 boxes of fruit were lost. With
out question this loss could have been
averted by orchard heating which
has been fully demonstrated as ef-
fective in this district. If there was
any doubt as to value of orchard
heating in this valley, it must have
been dispelled last May when the
condition of the pear crop in heated
and unheated orchards of the frost
zone was compared.
Preparations for orchard heating
should be made as soon as possible.
This cannot be done on short notice
in the spring. II orchard heaters or
pots are to be used, they must be
ordered in time to insure delivery not
later than March Is. The pots used
in this district are largely the five
quart lard pail type, and are made
by the Corrugated Iron Company of
Wheeling, w. Va. These pots can
be delivered t. o. b. Medford in car
lots of not less than $4,000 for 10
to II cents. The minimum car is the
smallest number that can be pur-
chased economically, since less than
car lots would demand a much higher
freight rate. During the past two
years the Rogue River Fruit and
Produce Association combined the
orders of individual growers and
shipped in several cars, thus securing
the minimum in cost of manufacture
and freight charges.
The. best way to handle the situa-
tion will be for the growers to take
up the matter with the two local fruit
associations, or If there are those
who do not belong to any association,
they may combine their orders so as
to make at least minimum car.
AS soon as possible growers should
consult with this office as to the
equipment they will need. While

Quarry Cabin
Is Burglarized

: The word reached Ashland Satur-
day that the cabin at the Permission
Granite Company's quarry near Ayers
Spur was burglarized while the crew
were down at Ashland last Sunday
When the crew returned from spend
ing their Sunday in town they found
all the grub missing and also lot
sf dynamite and fuse. Whether the
robbery was perpetrated by some fell
Gows who wanted a grub stake and
dynamite for prospecting or whether
hoboes or criminals took it to use in
another burglary was question
which is hard to solve.

Congregation
Bidden Farewell

An overflow meeting occurred at
the Presbyterian church last evening,
the occasion being the final discourse
in Ashland by Rev. H. T. Chisholm,
the retiring pastor. Several of the
city churches dispensed with their
evening services out of courtesy to
the sister denomination.
Rev. Mr.. Schwimley read the
scripture lesson, Rev. Mr.. Johnson
made the prayer, and Rev. Mr.. Doug
lass offered thanks incident to the
taking up of the offertory.
The musical portion of the service
began with Coronation" and ended
with the Missionary Hymn" if we
except the finale which choir and
congregation rendered just after the
benediction was pronounced, in the
appropriate wording and sweet mel
ody of God Be With You Till We
Meet Again" Other selections of sa-
cred song were 81 Love to Tell the
Story" a duet by Messrs. McMurray
and Strickland, an anthem by the
choir, and a solo in Latin by Pro-
fessor McMurray.
Mr.. Chisholm's remarks we're very
brief concerning the severance of the
pastoral relation here. There was
no formal farewell sermon, but in
stead he delivered an able address on
the missionary spirit; the text being
from Isaiah 52:7: How beautiful
upon the mountains are the feet of
Him that bringeth good tidings." |"
Every man has a vision and every
nation likewise, and the mission of
the Christian nations is to spread the
glad tidings to every creature. Amer
lea is not only the asylum of refuge
to all those who are oppressed, but
other nations look to her to take the
lead in spreading the Saviour's name
throughout the globe.
The retiring pastor expressed
grateful thanks to congregation,
choir and people in general during
his sojourn here. Especially was he
complimentary to the press for cour-
tesies so freely and cheerfully rem
dered. He believed in advertising
religion, and announced as the dream
of his life that day when the church
realizes it's power through advertis-
ing it's tenets as the best thing in all
the world.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chisholm leave for
Alhambra, Calf, this afternoon. In
the meantime arrangements have
been made for conducting the church
services without interruption until a
permanent pastor is installed. Next
Sunday minister from Roseburg
will be present, and the Sunday fol-
lowing a pastor evangelist from Med
ford will be in charge.

Prof. BriscOe and SEVERAL Male In

The Jackson and Josephine County
Schoolmasters' Club met at the high
school building in Medford Saturday
and were called to order at 10 o'clock
by their chairman, C. r. Bowman.
The following program was carried
cut:
10 to 11-"Sex Hygiene" Profess
sor Sweetser, University of Oregon.
IL to 12-Round table discus
sions:
1. Should English be the only re-
quired high school subject?
2, Considered from the stand
point of the high school student, how
much should college entrance re-
quirements influence the high school
curriculum?
8. How early in child's school
career should a definite, well-defined
correlation between subject matter
and vocational activity be empha-
sized?
4. When possible, should the de-
partmental system be extended to the
sixth, seventh and eighth grades?
S. Do not teach too many subjects
ia the eighth grade.
6. Should the period of high
school and elementary education be
shortened?
Z. How far ought the curriculum
of our public schools be modified to
meet the conditions of local environ
ment?
8. Remarks and suggestions for
the god of the club.
to special references.
This was the initial meeting of the
club and great success from a social
as well as a professional standpoint.
The address of Professor Sweetser
was especially helpful as we'll as time
iY. The subject was handled in a
new and interesting way. Biology
and nature study were shown to be
the logical avenues by which to ap-
proach the subject of sex hygiene in
the public schools.
Those present from Ashland were
Professors G. A. Briscoe, G. w.
Milan, F. E. Moore and F. D. Mann.

PROBLEM
OF THE HOBO
CHIEF PORTER TELLS OF CONDI.
TIONS AND REMEDY.
MANY DRIVEN FROM CITY DAILY
Tidings Representative Joins in
ROund-up-Chief Says That City
Must Have Place to Keep Tran
sientstgt Night.

At the request of the chief of pc
lice the Tidings local news gatherer
spent few hours Saturday assisting
in the roundup OF hoboes in the
local yards. There has been a laEgs
bunch started over the hill at noon
and yet there were ten hanging
around the yards at 3 O'Clock. Some
were fairly we'll dressed and othezs
had the stamp hobo written all over
them. Two, a negro and a white
man, who were doing their washing
in a clump of willows on the Carter
ranch on Mountain avenue, claimed
to have been let out when the Barnes
animal circus went into winter quar-
ters at Portland recently. They
claimed that il is the custom of the
circuses to hold out S. per month
from the wages of the men to induce
them to stay through the season and
then the last week find some excuse
20 fine them the entire amount and
tuIn them loose penniless.
These twc made no objections to
moving on, but others reminded tho
writer OF a bunch of cattle driven
out of a corn field. They kept just
so far ahead of the officers and when
the officers stopped they stopped. Ii
was very evident they intended to re-
turn to town just as soon as the
Officers backs were turned. Tho
average the past week has been over
thirty tramps per day who have been
driven out of the city. Many go to
the edge of the city and then wait
chance to sneak back. Many of them
have some money aRd it is hard for
policeman to know what to do. 1t
is impossible TO hold them on va
grancy charge if they have money
and have not been hanging around
town, and it is unsafe to leave them
at large.
In speaking of the matter Chief
Porter said: THAT article in the
Tidings signed 'Ex-Officer' put the
matter exactly right. We have not
the number of men in proportion to
the size of the town, either as to
population or area, which we should
have, and which most cities do have.
The fact that this is railroad term
inal is another matter which compli-
Gates things If we had facilities for
rounding up the transients in tho
evening and keeping them safe till
morning it would simplify matters
very much, but what can we dOH
There is one small cell at the Fourth
street hose house, just big enough
for a temporary detention of a man.
and at the city Jail there are but two
cells. Often we have men arrested
on serious criminal charges; men OF
a supposedly higher class in life and
more particular about their persons
and surroundings. If the cells at the
city Jail are used for hoboes they are
unfit for the detention of the higher
| grade of prisoners and the city is
running big chances of damage SUIT
if it puts a man held on criminal
charge in a filthy cell.
