THE WORK IN TERRELL COUNTY
is NEARING THE FINISH.
Hundreds of Samples of Earth Have
Been Taken. Says There Is Much

Been Taken. Says There Is Much
Good Land i'm County.
Mr.. D. D. Long, who has for sew
eral months been making a soil sur
vey of Terrell county under direction
of the Department of Agriculture
at Washington in connection Win
the State College of Agriculture, Will
in the next few days-possibly TINS
week-finish the work of obtaining
specimens of soil He will then make
a map of the soils of the county that
will show all the varieties OF SOIL,
and every land owner can know the
kinds of soil on his farm.
The News understands that there
is hardly an area of ten acres in the
county from which Mr.. Long mas not
taken a sample of soil, and he has
been quoted as saying that there Is
more good land in Terrell than IN
any county in which he has worked
There is nothing in farming more
important for the farmer to know
than the character of his soil ana us
possibilities. He should study ms
soil, plan for it's constant improve
ment, try to put DacK luIo 1t "H"C

has been very often the case that
land in South Georgia was judged III
terms of the amount Of cotton II
would produce to the acre In an aver
age year. The time has come, now
ever, when much cotton land must
be turned to other crops. New
standards must be set to determine
the producing value of the soil, which
must be studied with other crops
than cotton in prospect.
1t is important that farmers who
face that condition of affairs be Civ

EeCtTOcuted While
Fighting Fire

Charles Brown, engineer at tho
Medford Ice and Storage Company
was electrocuted Sunday evening
about 6 o'clock while fighting a fire
in barn across the railroad track
from the ice plant.
The employees of the ice plant had
stretched the company hose across
the railroad track in order to fight
the fire and were gaining headway
when a wire of the Oregon Power
Company carrying 1900 volts dropped
directly over Mr.. Brown. He grasped
the live wire and 1t was several ioin-
utes before he could be released. His
second finger was burned entirely off,
while the forearm was burned above
the elbow. Death was instantaneous
The deceased leaves wife and child.

Chairman Greer
Back From Frisco

Chairman Greer of the springs wa
ter commission returned from San
Francisco Sunday morning, where he
had been for the past week looking
after springs matters. The state of
the bond market is such, occasioned
by the European war, that no bonds
are being handled anywhere. The
feeling in San Francisco seems to be
that within few weeks finances will
loosen up so that bonds may be han
died. The Southern Pacific Company
is taking lively interest in the Ash
land project and is offering its assist
ance to the commission in trying to
dispose of the bonds. The commits
sion has out several lines, any of
which may result in a sale of the
bonds in the near future, although at
this time no definite plans have been
arranged.

Two Arrested
For Hunting

Andrea Bianchini and Tony MARGIN
were brought before Justice of the
Peace Thomas today and fined $25
and costs, as punishment for a viola
tion of the game laws of Oregon.
They had been hunting near Ayeds
Spur, where they are at work on the
railroad in company with about fifty
other of their fellows. Game Warden
Hubbard located them and brought
them in. The other men also had
been hunting and two guns and re-
volver were taken from them. No
one laid claim to these for fear of CIV
ing themselves away. The two who
were brought up, however, had the
goods on them. A sack partially
filled with robins constituted their
catch. A twenty-five special was TAX
en- from one. Both had the money
with which to pay their fine and were
glad to get off so easy.

Rifle Team Goes to
CIackamaS Range

The rifle team of the first com
pany, c. A. R., of Ashland left this
morning for Clackamas for the an
nual competitive match held between
the various military organizations of
the state.
The rifle range at Clackamas is one
of the best equipped in the west and
September 3 will be held the western
divisional match between picked
teams from Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Ne
vada, California, Hawaii and the reg
ular army and navy. The twelve men
making the highest scores at the state
shoot will be selected to represent
Oregon in the western divisional
shoot.
The Ashland company is at dis
advantage in not having a rifle range
near enough to town to be of much
use. The range at present is along
the top of the hill above the Square
Deal Orchards Company on Grizzly
Peak.
The Ashland team is unusually
strong, as all of the boys have been
on it at least two years. They ex-
pect to bring home the bacon. The
team is as follows Sergeant J. @.
Adams, Edmund Hadfield, Charles
Crouch, with G. L. Irwin and Fred
King as alternates.

GREAT BATTLE NOW RAGING
Continued from Page One.)

gium and along the frontier of
France. The battle has been raging
since Friday last, becoming more and
more terrific Saturday and Sunday,
while the dispatches which are filter
ing in today indicate fighting is grow
ing fiercer with every hour. Reserves
are coming in great numbers and it
is estimated probably between two
and three million soldiers are now
facing each other, with the German
forces in the majority.
All the news comes through the
allies, Germany being entirely silent,
and for this reason alone more cred
ence is give nthe German arms than
is stated in the dispatches.
During the past three weeks it has
been seen the allies are very slow in
giving information against their arms
while the defeats of the Germans ap-
pear to find no censorship. For this
reason it is believed here the German
arms are not given full credit by the
allies censorship.

War Aids California
Mineral Springs

San Francisco Chronicle: The war
will undoubtedly be a great boon for
California mineral waters because of
the shutting down of shipments of
water from the springs of Europe.
California last year produced from
49 springs and sold 2,SO1,S93 gal
Ions of mineral water, valued at
$531, 1925. With the exception of
New York and Wisconsin, this state
has the largest number of CONNER
cial springs in the country.
There is a large quantity of for
eign waters imported into this coun-
try, reaching 3,364,675 gallons in
1913, valued at $955,7SS. More than
100000 gallons each was imported
from France and Germany in 1913
and nearly 100000 gallons from Aus
tria-Hungary. This supply will now
be cut off to the benefit of the Cali
fornia mineral and medicinal waters.

Two Tons of Mail
BY Parcel Post

Two tons of mail in two days is
the latest record-breaker of the local
postoffice. In one day last week sew
enty peach boxes were shipped and
seventy-six followed the next day.
The mail had to be carted to the de-
pot in the truck. This shows to what
extent the fruit growers of the valley
are using the parcel post as a cheap
and convenient method of transport
ing their fruit. The parcel post has
been working out much better than
was expected by some skeptical per-
sons, the rates having been continu-
ally lowered since its establishment.

Oregon'S Mineral
Output Increasing

The United States Geological Sur
vey at Washington has finished COM
piling the figures regarding Oregon's S
yield of gold, silver, copper and lead
during 1913, and the statement shows
an increase of more than 100 per cent
over the product of the previous year
The total yield was valued at s1,746,-
402 in 1913, as compared with $S49,-
$50 in 1912. Gold, silver and lead
showed a marked increase, and cop
per an extraordinary falling off, the
1913 production OF the latter metal
being only 43,33O pounds as COM
pared with 260,429 pounds the previ-
Gus year.
In the production of gold Baker
county led the procession with ST.
373,4S0, Malheur county was second
with $82,O41 and Grant county third
with $6S,652. The gold output in
these three counties in 1913 showed
an increase OF $972,7O6. Josephine
county led the state in the production
of copper with 92,55S pounds, about
80 per cent OF the total yield. Lane
county produced the most lead, So
204 pounds. There were fewer mines
in operation in Oregon in 1913 than
in the previous year, but the tonnage
from the deep mines was materially
enlarged, while the placer mines, in
cludlng one new dredge property,
made a record year.
