His dam is a Melia Ann COW and a

which he sold for $245.15. Her male
calf when a few months old sold for

son of Chief Golden Glow, who ha'

At the meeting OF the life members

The meeting was very short and
there we're not many other matters
that came before the assembly
About sixty members attended.
For the next session II is hoped
business may prosper sufficiently to
Justify a new building. It would
mean great deal to the city as q

could be held and people congregate
Such building is necessary, as the

Accurate Scales
And Measures

Get what you pay for in regard to
the standard weights and measures.
The state assumed authority over
the use of weights and masures
within it's jurisdiction for the protec-
tion of the purchasing public. The
purchasing public is the whole pub
lie, but unfortunately the man who
wants sixteen ounces when he pays
for a pound is sometimes near-sight-
ed when he puts his own wares on
the scales for sale. But supervision
of weights and scales does not neces-
sarily imply that short weights and
scant measures are the result of dis
honesty. Not at all. Carelessness is
often responsible for a scale that fails
of exactness or of a measure that
does not hold enough potatoes. The
officials have recently issued the fol-
lowing note Of warning regarding the
essential provisions of the law:
"It is unlawful to sell any COM
modify at a greater or less weight or
measure than its true weight of meas
ure. For instance, cord Of wood
a pound of meat, pint of milk,
cubic yard of gravel, or pound o.
ice.
Under this law, purchaser is en-
titled to the true net weight or meas
ure of any commodity ordered.
'It is unlawful to include tn
weight ror measure of anything othe
than that of the commodity beini
sold. II purchaser buys ham, h
is entitled to the net weight Of tn
ham and should not be made to pa
for a canvas cover and several ounce
of wrapping paper.
THE standard apple box for Ore
gon is: Depth 10h inches at end
width IL II inches, length Is inches
All are inside measurements and rep
resent 2,1731s cubic inches. Boxe
not measuring up to the standar
must be marked short box Viola:
ors of the law are liable to fine o
81 box.
Under this head let me say tina
there are no other standard meas
ures for peaches, grapes and pears
and in fact fruits in general, but
purchaser in buying box or crat
must receive a full box or crate, c
it can be considered short measure
ment and the seller is liable"

Arrested For
Killing Deer

William Hills of Rogue River and
some friends were arrested and fined
$119 for the killing of a deer last
week. They were arrested by Game
Warden Hammersley. The deer was
shot near Bybee Springs Sunday and
was hung up in tree by the parties
while they went home to get proper
implements to handle it. On Monday
the men came back with the idea of
quartering 1t and bringing 1t into
town. Meanwhile Game Warden
Hammereley, while on his way to get
supplies, passed the place where the
deer was hidden and his horse SHE'D,
telling him where 1t was located. He
promptly investigated, left the deer
hanging there, and rode on down the
trail, where he soon met the hunters.
These he passed, and as 500 mas he
secured a witness retraced his steps
to the place where the deer was con-
cealed. There he found the parties
skinning the deer and promptly ar
rested them. Upon being taken into
town fine was imposed upon them
OF $25. They refused to pay and
demanded a trial, which was given
them. However, the results were far
from pleasing as the next hearing
fined them $119.

Finds Tarantula
In Bananas

G. T. Mcdonald of the Hot Springs
bath house in klamath Falls had a
narrow escape last week when he
escaped the bite of huge tarantuia,
which was lodged in a bunch of ba-
nanas. The klamath Falls North
western tells of the occurrence as
follows;
ITO be within an inch of possible
death by coming in contact with the
fangs of a monster Central American
tarantula was the experience of G. T.
Mcdonald yesterday evening while
cutting bananas from a bunch in his
store at the Hot Springs bath house
for customer.
Mr.. Mcdonald ordered a fresh
bunch of this luscious tropical fruit
| from local wholesale dealer and 1t
was delivered yesterday morning.
After hanging in the store all day and
both Mr.. and Mrs. Mcdonald having
cut several from the stalk for Gus
toners, the monster spider was dis
covered by Mr.. Mcdonald while he
| was running his finger under the
fruit to get hold of one particularly
ripe for customer. His fingers were
within few inches of the venomous
insect when he saw it, and to say he
| got his hand away fro mthe vicinity
OF the spider in short order is put
tsSg it mildly.
n ''Mr. Mcdonald is thoroughly, con
versant with the poisonous tarantula
} He did not have to look the seconC
} time to know what the insect was
Following it's discovery he attempted
J to capture it and cage it in a glas
jar. 1t showed much agility in elud
: ing all efforts at capture by jumpin
, to the floor and attempting to ru
away. 1t was finally Gagged, however
and now Mr.. Mcdonald is showing hi
pet to admiring and cringin
friends. 1t is very large specime
= and one sting Of its fangs would mea
almost sure death to it's victim"

Crops Of Corn
Unusual This Year

II was not many years ago that 1t
was thought corn could not be COM
mercially grown in this valley, but
in recent years it has been demon
strated that corn is very profitable
crop and unusual number of bushels
per acre have been raised between
the trees in the young orchards. This
season has been very favorable for
the corn crop and everyone having a
corn patch should keep their eyes
open for good specimens for the
county display at San Francisco.
The various varieties Of sweet
corn, such as well-filled ears in
straight, even rows, are wanted for
processing. Mr.. Frohbach would ap-
preciate 1t II the growers give this
subject their attention at the proper
time. Leave specimens at the Beaver
Realty Company, should his labora-
tory be closed.

Henderson Assumes
New Duties

There is very little blight in the
valley" said M. p. Henderson, county
pathologist, after tour of the orch
ards, but this should not lull the
fruit men into any sense of false Sc
curity. The price of good fruit is
eternal viligance and would particu-
larly warn all orchardists to keep a
close watch on infection and prompt
ly cut it out as 1t appears. The way
to keep blight out OF the Rogue River
Valley is never to allow II another
start"
When asked regarding the weather
bureau Mr.. Henderson said he pre-
ferred to confine himself to pathology
ical work alone and believed that
weather forecasting would seriously
interfere with his more important du-
ties. The question Of who will take
the place of Leland Beveridge, pres
ent forecaster, has not yet been de-
cided. o..
Mr.. Henderson Is now looking for
an office in Medford and hopes to
secure a place in the next few days
his family arriving from the east In
the near future.

NUMBER '16
New PathOlOgiSt
Has Arrived

The county court has selected the
new pathologist in the person of DR..
M. P. Henderson of the University of
Wisconsin, to succeed Prof. p. j.
O'Gara, who resigned recently. Hen
derson arrived this week and will
Immediately take up his new duties.
According to the Medford Sun we are
informed that DR.. Henderson was ac-
companied by Professors II. T.
French and II. S. Jackson of o. A. c.,
who came to attend to the final de-
tails of the arrangement between the
county court and the agricultural
college. A conference with County
Judge Tou Velle and County Com
missioner Lever was held yesterday
afternoon and plans for the season
outlined.
Under the new arrangement DIR.
Henderson will have charge of plant
diseases, insect and spray work, with
headquarters in Medlord, while Prof.
E. C. Reimer of the Talent expert
ment station will have charge of gen.
eral agricultural work, soils, fertil-
izing, cover crops, etc. Professor
Reimer on certain days will be at
DR.. Henderson's office in Medford
for consultation with the Tanchers,
and the two experts will cooperate
in every way though keeping their
duties distinct
Under the present arrangement the
new pathologist's salary will be-
$500 instead of 5000 which was
paid to O'Gara, the county paying
only half of this and the state half.
The expenses of the office will also
be borne jointly by county and state
with the understanding that the total
expenses OF the county will at no
time exceed $4,000. The state fur
nishes DR.. Henderson with an auto
mobile so that he will be in a posi-
tion to visit any point in the valley
on short notice.
DR.. Henderson has made a special
study OF plant diseases the last three
years, has had practical field work
experience with pear blight in his
former home in Idaho, and comes
with the very highest recommends
tions from the University of Wiscon-
sin. He was very much pleased with
the appearance of the valley but de-
. clined to make any. statement re-
garding future possibilities until he
had become more familiar with local
conditions.

Pacific Highway
Work Progressing

Editor Balfrey, in the Scott Valley
Advance, has an article on the work
progressing on the Pacific Highway
in Siskiyou county, which we print
for the information of our readers:
"Messrs. w. H. Mason of klamath
Falls and F. T. Fradenburg of Horn
brook, who have the contract for the
building of the first unit of the state
highway in Siskiyou county, which
lies between the Oregon line and
Hornbrook, were in Yreka last week.
They informed a Journal reporter
that work had commenced on the
! highway and with an even break they
will complete their contract by the
| first of October. They have estab-
lished three camps and at present are
working forty men, and that within
few days they will be prepared to
put full force, consisting OF over
seventy men and sixty teams, to grad
ing. The first unit is eight miles. II
does not follow the old travelled road
from Bailey Hill to Hit, but keeps
to the mountain side of Bailey Hill
This makes very pretty scenic route
besides being an easily made grade
The road when completed will bC
211S feet wide. The contract calls
railing placed along dangerou
places. This railing will extend ovel
a mile and a quarter of the eigh
miles to be built. The contract CALI
for thirty-five concrete culverts anC
100 corrugated iron covers for th
carrying of surface water, beside
the three concrete covers that will b.

Hood River in
Line For Highway

BY a vote of 1862 to 42S the peo-
pie of Hood River county last week
authorized a bond issue of SIS, 900
for the completion of the Columbia
River Highway through their section
of the state. Every precinct in the
county, except one, gave big major
ity for the bonds.
In addition to this action of Hood
River, Columbia county has issued
bonds to the extent of $360,000 for
good roads, $260,O00 of which will
be applied to the Columbia River
Highway; Clatsop county will spend
1915, 900 on her section Of the same
road; Multnomah county is spending
100000 in cutting the road from
Portland to the eastern line of the
county, and it will spend about $780,
900 more before the work Is fin
ished; Wasco county has but about
two miles of the highway and is
working on that little link now. The
highway to the east of Portland will
unite the Columbia river district with
Central Oregon, while on the west 1t
will be a beautiful road down the
Columbia and as far down the coast
as the Tillamook county line.
The recent decision Of the supreme

Lectures on
Exposition, 1915

w. c. Poole gave the closing fea-
ture of the ChautauQua program by
his lecture on the exposition of 1915,
illustrated by colored slides, which
were indeed beautiful.
The scenic beauties of America
were emphasized, and the speaker re-
marked that though he had travelled
through all parts of Europe and for
eign countries, he had never viewed
scenery that compared with that OF
our United States. lie brought ono
to San Francisco by several different
routes-by the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado, by the Alamo in Texas.
through New Orleans, by the Can

and many other beautiful places.
Finally he ended up at the wonderful
exposition OF all nations.
The people who go to San Fran
cisco and San Diego in 1915 will not
be disappointed in their expectations.
for a most wonderful year is being
planned and wonderful buildings are
being erected. The San Francisco
fair is to be world event, people
coming from every country In the
world. The lecturer had just re-
turned from New Zealand, where he
had been telling the New Zealanders
about our wonderful United States OF
America, and he thinks many will
come from that section of the globe.
as they have put on q wonderful ex-
bibit. ...t
Another of the points that he
brought out was that the exposition
OF 1915 will be modern one, that
no products manufactured before
1906 will be on exhibit. This fair is
to show what a wonderful advance
has been made since that time. The
lecture was much appreciated and en-
joyed by the audience, and certainly
was fitting number to close the
Chautauqua session. Mr.. Poole took
the place OF Dr. Fisher, who was un-
able to attend. '.i t,r

Suicide Near
Bybee's Bridge

While walking through the woods
about fifty yards from the river, near
Bybee's bridge, c. H. Farmer of this
city found the dead body of man
hanging from the limb of tree, still
warm, seeming to have been dead
about two hours. He called. to Ever
ett Acklin, also of Ashland, who was
fishing a little way above stream, and
who Immediately came to the spot,
being the second man on the scene.
His father, T. w. Acklin, was the
next person to arrive.
The body was found at $3.50 Sun
day morning. 1t was located about
four hundred yards up the river from
the bridge on the left. hand side.
Many people were in the Bybee park
picnicking, and in little while about
a hundred had seen the grewsome
sight. Deputy Coroner Perl was
called and arrived on the scene with
the sheriff about noon. The man
was examined and nothing to identify
him was run across. He appeared to
be laboring man. His pockets con-
tanned no money-nothing except an
Ingersoll dollar watch and new deck
of cards. He had no coat, at least
none could be found. From appear
ances he had climbed the tree
slipped the moose around his neck and
let himself down on the rope. This
was evident from the fact his neck
was not broken. His hat hung in the
tree about four feet above him. The
rope was small and probably an ole
piece he had picked up. He appeared
to be a foreigner.
Everett Acklin and C. H. Farmer
went to Medford this morning as wit
nesses at the coroner's inquest helt
at 10 o'clock.
