Thomas Urges Amendments
To Fruit Shipping Laws

c. NJ. Thomas of Talent delivered
very interesting and profitable talk
to the Belleview Growers Club Fri
day evening. Mr.. Thomas, who is
manager of the Talent Orchard Com
pany, one of the largest apple grow
ers of the valley, talked along vari-
Gus lines.
In discussing waste in orchards he
urged the growing of hogs to eat the
windfalls, explaining why the can.
neries could not profitably handle
the wormy and misshapen fruit. He
discussed waste in management and
urged the support of the canneries
as a market for good fruit, but de-
clared they could not, at least at
present, handle defective fruit effect
lively. He believes the law should
be amended so wormy and fourth
grade apples and pears could be sold
as such for the use of mining and
lumber camps and to hotels for cook
ing purposes.

The resignation is to take effect at
once and Professor O'Gara will leave

He returned Thursday from Califor-

tract, which has been pending since
last December, when the general
manager of the American Smelling

Medford and opened negotiations for
his services.
Professor O'Gara's departure will
be severely felt, particularly at this

Boys Club Is Preparing
For Parliamentary Stunts

Mr.. Whited touched on the things
which have a great influence and are
the basic principles of making a sue
cess of any boys life.
Mayor Johnson made gratifying
impromptu speech. He told the boys
they must take advantage Of their
opportunities. He presented a simile
of the stagnant pond and the power
full waterfall, the latter being
snatched up at the first chance, while
the former remained idle and was of
no use to humanity. They were left
to draw their own conclusions
whether they would be the idle stag
nant pond which none desired or the
waterfall which was full of energy
and whose services were sought for.
Inactivity creates idlenes: :: a boy
must have something of his own to
do and to keep him busy, 20 III him
for the things which he must Dc able
to compete with in after life. They
must prepare themselves "a be of
service to the community an1 to be-
come worthy OF being citizens of the
United States.
The subject at the next meeting of
the Boys Vocational Club will be

Damage from smelter smoke has

is due to plant diseases caused by
negligence and not due to smelter
fumes. An exhaustive study of the

the Portland livestock market.
Mr.. McAllister advocated the heav-
ier planting of corn in the valley,
and cooperation among the hog
growers to get their product ready
for market at stated periods when
cooperative shipments can be made.
He is optimistic over the outlook for
the profit that will come to the pro-
ducer, saying that in his opinion the
price of beef was up to stay, and that
of necessity the price of pork would
follow 1t. He speaks encouragingly
of the efforts being made to open a
home market for pork and for pork
products, but says that the Rogue
Valley should proruce great many
times the amount of swine that home
markets can consume, and that this
district should be among the leaders

Yreka Awake to Need
OF Great Pacific Highway

David S. Kicker in the Portland
Oregonian writes from Yreka, Cal,
in part as follows:
When Jackson county in Oregon
decided to build a good road to the
California boundary line, as the story
goes here, Siskiyou woke up. They
decided to call Jackson's bet. They
have done it. Then they passed the
buck to Shasta county, south of them,
the one broken link and the last
county to agree to the states project.
Shasta awoke and at once voted a
bond issue
On May | work will be begun on
the first unit of the Siskiyou section
from the boundary line to Horn
brook. June 1 work will be started
on the second unit, reaching from
Hornbrook to Yreka, and after the
roadway is completed the Pacific
Highway signs will be moved from
that disgraceful stretch of mire that
leads to Montague and set up along
side the 20-foot wide, cement-sur-
faced avenue that will crawl through
the splendid canyon of the Siskiyou
and meet the hard-surfaced road of
Jackson county on the mountain top
a mile north of Cole.

Portland Stock Yards Men
Urge Raising More Porkers

c. NJ. McAllister, the representa-

yards Company, who has been in this
vicinity for the past several days in
vestigating the livestock interests,
especially as they affect the hog and
dairy industry, is enthusiastic re-
garding the possibilities of the Rogue
Valley. He says that he has found
much greater activity among the
producers OF hogs than he had antic-
ipated, and believes that this dis
trict will soon be among the heavy
shippers OF swine and swine prod
ucts. Mr.. Mchllster says that he
finds tho farmers paying the greatest
OF attention to the breeding of their
herds, and pure-bred hogs are being
placed on msny farms. While here,
Mr.. McAllister Visited the farmers of
the Applegate, Williams and other
adjacent valleys, giving advice upon
the hog industry, and making more
sentiment in favor of increasing the
number OF hogs raised. He was i'm
pressed with the quality of the Rogue
river hogs, and predicts that ship

l.. P. Harrington, in charge of the
industrial field work for the state
department of public instruction, has
been spending the past two weeks in
boys and girls industrial clubs.
About forty have been organized in
the rural schools of the county,
despite the bad roads and hard get
ting around. Mr. Harrington states
the club idea is taking well with the
pupils. One is formed in each school
and the members choose the depart
ment or departments he or she wishes
to contest in from the following list:
Corn growing, potato growing, girls
canning and preserving, girls cook
ing and baking, boys and girls poul-
try raising, girls sewing, boys pig
feeding contest, boys and girls gar
dening contest, dairy herd record
keeping, and manual arts (construc-
ton of useful or model articles of
wood, metal or concrete).
Two boys winning highest mark
ings in each county will be given a
weeks camp and school at the state
fair at Salem this fall, and the ten
highest boys or girls in the state will
be given free trips to the Panama ex-
position, under proper supervision.

The Boys Vocational Club held a
very interesting meeting Thursday
night. Prof. Vining outlined an cleo
ton for boy mayor boy councilman,
and the rest of the city officers. This
will be an exciting election, as the
positions are places Of high honor.
The boy officials will be expected to
attend the council meetings and to
find out all there is to know about
the duties. Governor West is eX-
pected here to meet the boys club in
the near future and will make a
speech and recommend changes in
the city affairs. Next Saturday there
will be hike to Durkee Falls. 9th
er tricks will be made to Wagner
creek, Crystal peak and various
points. Next summer Prof. Vining
will take some of the older boys to
Josephine Caves, while a trip on
which all can go will be made to
Lake of the Woods. DR.. Jarvis made
a report of the examinations which
have been given the boys trying for
the Marathon, and also an interesting
talk on training. He said the fault
he found in the entrants was poor
standing position, poor teeth, unkept
teeth and poor eyes, all weaking the
circulation and digestion.
H. L. Whited gave heart-to-heart
talk to the boys about the qualifica-
tions for business. He presented
three types of boys: the boy of a
financial turn of mind, of construct
i've type, and the boy taught through
necessity to be able to work hard
The things which a boy of any type
must have to become succt ;sful are
a feeling of responsibility, gentle
manly bearing, and stamina TO stick
to anything they start. He spoke OF
the environment which a growing boy
should have. Always have an atmOs,
phere of success, not to associate
with people who are shiftless and
lazy, but who are capable and have
been successful in what they have
undertaken. Boys should alway!
have the idea of, when growing up
settling down and having a home, moi
to be of the average bachelor type

The Improvement of the harbor is

of the proposed Crescent City Rail-

commercial outlet by sea for timber
and fruit, the first-named resource
being still in a virgin state, and the
heavy timber land holders of south
