but since my travels I am convinced
that no limit can be put on our mar
ket if the fruit can be properly han
died. We are gaining fame with
other fruit belts and within a few
years our products will be in demand
in every market. Producers should
Systematically advertise the Rogue
River fruit in every basket and box
sent out, and keep continuously at it.
If this is done it will be but few
years until the Rogue River Will be
placed so prominently before the pub
lie that no limit to our market Will
be known"

Greediest Hogs Are Most Profitable.

Hogs Are Most Profitable.
The Oregon station has found out
by actual feeding tests that the hog
which eats most greedily is the most
profitable. Thirty pigs were divided
into three lots, the heaviest eaters in
one lot, and the others graded ac-
cording to their capacity for consum-
ing feed. says Farm and Fireside
At hundred hogs like the heaviest
eaters, at the rate of gain made and
present prices, would make a profit
of $297.65, or almost exactly three
dollars q head. A hundred like the
poorest feeders would have made a
profit of $115.65, or only a little
more than a dollar a head. They
were evenly graded as to size and
sex. II there Is this great difference
between the heavy-eating hogs and
the light eaters-and most hog rails
ers will agree with the general prop
osition--it would seem that breeders
might we'll devote themselves to
breeding appetite in hogs, instead OF
color or fancy points. II the appe-
tite makes the profits. breed appe-
tite.

Blame for High Price Of Eggs.

"The city people are themselves to
blame for the high price of eggs.
The New York Times Annalist shows
that clearly, says Farm and Fireside.
They have grown fond of eggs and
eat more of them than formerly. The
population of seven great cities of the
United States has increased 800 per
cent in ten years, but their consump-
ton of eggs has increased 73 per
cent. 1t is stated that the city per-
son who ate four eggs dozen years
ago now eats five. So eggs have rls-
en- in price faster than anything else.
"If the cities are eating nearly
twice as many eggs as formerly. and
we are producing only fifth more,
clearly the country people are going
without eggs so as to sell them to
the cities. What more can we do?
It may well be said that we might
keep more hens. Well, that isn't
bad idea, and we commend II to all
farmers who can see their way to
increasing their flocks. And II the
flocks now kept were all cared for
as they should be, and placed under
the command of cockerels hatched
fro mthe eggs of hens with records
as fIrst-class layers. conditions would
improve"

more jolly and enthusiastic crowd

good time gathering crystals and
souvenirs while on the peak and most
of them had the excitement of seeing
band of twelve deer as they reached
the top of the mountain. Some of
the eXcursionists took side trips to
other peaks and explored the sur

Rich Seam Of
Gold Is Found

Dan Donohue. discoverer of gold
pockets on the Ross property near
Riddle, says that he and Ross have
taken out $4,000 since his discov-
cry. Last week he found another
seam that seems to be as rich as the
first. This seam runs in little line
of mud, beside quartz vein, just
like the first. The miners wash the
mud seam with pan, but are
obliged to ship the ore to smelter.
Their first reports on the quartz have
not yet been made public. Hills are
being secured in the Canyonville dis
trict for other pockets. This late find
is in the neighborhood of Gold Bluff,
and 10 within gunshot OF the stage
road, which has been used for sixty
years. .. ot.f .'

Swat the Fly;
City to Issue Orders

Mayor Johnson, desiring to estab-
lish the efforts of fighting the fly in
Ashland on an intelligent foundation
in the matter OF preventing the fly
becoming fly, asked DR.. Clifton
Fremont Hodge to send him a good
form of ordinance governing stables
and other breeding resorts. The fol-
lowing was his reply:
| have no such ordinance printed
yet. None of those in use are either
reasonable or according to good COM
mon sense. The Fly Tight stable
box or pit generally demanded by
city ordinances has cost the country
millions and defeats its own purpose,
because the eggs are laid before the
material is put into the pit, and the
fly-tight box or pit becomes an arti-
ficially perfect fly hatchery.
The ordinance We need should re-
quire that all garbage and stable
refuse be removed from towns or
cities at least once a week from April
first to November first-since fly
eggs hatch and pupate in seven days.
The stable manure should be kept
on a smooth cement floor so that it
can be cleaned from the floor. The
fly maggots will bury into the
cracks OF wooden floor or into the
ground.
Much more of this material might
be used in Oregon gardens than I
find to be the case The bacteria of
the soil will quickly decompose such
material SO that it will not be nuis-
ance in any way, but will greatly I'M
prove the soil n our gardens.
The fly beat the Ashland fly-swat-
ters to it and caught the city council
and the fly's other organized enemies
in Ashland mapping. The summer
weather came in ahead of schedule
time and the fly came with it. Ash
land intends to fight the fly this year
even though the details of the cam
paign are still in the air. Eight Ore
gon towns had their plans perfected
and in motion before the fly became
fly. Medford was especially
equipped, having perfected its cam
paign during the winter months. A
fly seldom travels far from his birth
place, 1900 feet being his lifetime
limit.

pcnitentiary in robust health.
Barney as he was Familiarity
known, was model prisoner, always
cheerful and popular with the prison
officials. He has been employed as
Janitor about the penal institution. Less
than six years ago O'Neil was reputed
to be worth a fortune, prominent poll
tieally, financially and as business
man. He was chairman of the republi-
can state committee and at one time
prominently spoken of as candidate
for the United States senate.
Perhaps Barney O'Neil was guilty of
wrecking the Wallace bank but great
majority of the people of this state
will never feel he is a criminal and
guilty of any intentional wrong doing.
Thousands of Idaho friends are reioic
ing in his release and we predict with
half chance Barney O'Neil will
come back and make right any wrongs
of the past.

Word has been received by Grange
vile friends of the tragic death of
Mrs. T. w. Cowan at Entiat, Washing

burns received while warming a

seven miles north of town up until
eight years ago when they moved to
Washington. They have many friends
here who will learn with sadness of tho
tragic ending of this noble woman.
The Wenatchee paper give details as
follows:
Mrs. Cowan was warming banket
before large wood heater in the din
ing room Of her home four miles up
the Entiat valley. The blanket was to
wrap around little crippled grandson
who was visiting at the Cowan home.
The stove was red hot. Something at

around suddenly and her dress came in
contact with the hot stove. Turning
