What vision has this toiling world Of
Beyond the centuries? What are
their dreams?
What guide is theirs? What stars
bright beams
That lure them on, up height, through
misty fen?
"A night for sleep, day for toiling,
Another night; led on by dancing
CLEANS
o ficle hopes, the lust for gold,
the schemes
Of trade to gain what soon is lost
again.
Thus would a cynic phrase his easy
thought;
But one with gentler soul and

With ear upon the throbbing heart
of life,
Knows day by day nobler man is
wrought.
That truth and honor everywhere
grow bright,
, That years are stilling slow the din
of strife!

Local Enterprise i.
0Verc0meS Difficulty

The following dispatch from Hood
River to the Oregonian is of timely
interest ITO Ashland citizens. Those
people have overcome the general
bond conditions with local enterprise,
in this way:
"a record for community enter
prise has been made here this year
by the East Fork Irrigation District,
which was established last year to
take charge of the big ditch supply
ing water to the orchardists of the
East Side district, the largest unit of
valley orchards lands. After the or
ganization of the district the sale of
$175,000 worth of bonds was author
lied. An issue of $150,O00 was Of
fered by the board of directors the
first of this year. On account of the
quiet bond market no attractive bids
could be secured from bond compa-
nies, however.
NOT discouraged by their failure,
the citizens of the community and
residents of the bonded district began
taking the bonds themselves, and up
to the present time the money for
increasing the service of the irriga-
tion system has been secured from
sales of the bonds from time to time
this spring. OF the $15O,OOO offered,
$144,00O worth have been sold, most
ly to valley citizens.
"The system, while still incom-
plete, has been made one of the best
in the state. Three big pipe lines
have been installed, placing the
greater portion of the district under
pressure.

Oregon and other sections of the Pa
cific northwest, the Portland Union
Stoekyards Company has found it

Milk Bottles
Thoroughly Sterilized

The Telephone dairy has installed
a huge refrigerator for cooling milk
rapidly which will greatly facilitate
earlier delivery of pure milk by this
popular dairy. Messrs. Sander & San
der are using every modern idea and
advancement to bring their dairy to
be the leader in the entire state. The
last report of the pure food depart
ment of the state made very favor
able mention of this dairy and it in
ambitious to be considered the first
in the next state report.
Messrs. Sander & Sander have in
stalled an electric bottle washer and
sterilize all the bottles under a steam
pressure of 22O degrees. The milk
is then placed in the refrigerator and
rapidly cooled. This will enable them
to deliver the cream and milk two or
three hours earlier than formerly.
Ashland is rapidly becoming known
as a dairy field and this firm is doing
it's full share toward attracting at
tention all over the coast.

Estimates Vary
For Apple Crop

The following is an estimate sub
mitted by A. p. Bateham, vice-presi-
dent of the Northwestern Fruit Ex-
change, Portland, on the number of
cars of apples to the shipped this sea-
son. The wide variation in reports
from the districts has been taken into
consideration and the whole compiled
as nearly correctly as is possible. BY
the collection of reports from each
district the general belief is that the
tonnage will be enormous, far exceed
ing former years, but Mr.. Bateham's
opinion OF this Is that the estimates
point skyward, out of all proportion.
The indications as received are for
a good trade this year in almost every
variety. When there is an exception
it appears as though the variety had
been left out of the scheme of things
entirely this year. Yakima, as usual,
will lead the shipping from the north
west, with Wenatchee districts close
second, and Hood River an increas-
ing third. The estimates as given,
of course, are subject to the usual
shrinkage owing to storms, etc.
Mr.. Bateham hopes to be able to
give a much closer estimate by this
time next month, and one which will
indicate the marketing policies for
the coming season. Plans are in
full swing" said Mr.. Bateham, "to
go ahead with our distribution as
though we could exactly tell just how
many cars of apples are going to
market. While conditions may alter
these plans as the season advances,
we feel pretty certain of accomplish
ing our ultimate aim in this respect.
The export markets will be dealt
their percentage of the shipments of
apples going through the Northwest
ern Frnit Exchange on an established
systematic basis.
The apparent total apple crop of
the northwest is Is, 900 carloads, dis
tributed throughout the various dis
tricts as follows:
Wenatchess 4,500, Yakima $500,
eastern Washington 1000, Rogue
River 500, wetsern Oregon $50,
Hood River 1900, eastern Oregon
$50, Idaho 800, Montana 700, Total,
Is, 900 cars.

12-FOOt Vein OF Coal
On Roxy Ann

A twelve-foot vein of high-grade
semi-bituminous coal was struck Fri
day Of the new coal mine Of Little &
Burr at Roxy Ann mountain, three
and one-half miles northeast OF Med
ford, on part of the Westerlund
orchard property. Development will
be continued, says the Sun. The coal
has excellent gas-making qualities as
well as good steaming and coking
qualities and carries almost no sui
phur. ,.'.
The discovery was made by Mr..
Little and not w. A. Burr, as first
reported. Mr.. Little Is a'coal expert
and isNsuperintendent Of the mines.
He is acknowledge dss being one Of
the foremost authorities on coal in
southern Oregon. = y ~"
According to the owners, actual
working of the mines wili be started
at once. 1t is their intention to sup
ply the demand of southern Oregon
In order to get the coal transported
from the mines to Medford the Bulls
street car line will probably be ex-
tended to the base OF Roxy Ann.

To Inspect HarbOr
At Crescent City

The board of army engineers which
heard the delegation from Grants
Pass and Crescent City last winter
upon the Crescent City harbor project
will make it's promised visit to the
coast next month. There will be
seven or eight United States army
engineers in the party and they will
arrive at Eureka on Tuesday, August
1S. From Eureka they will go to
Crescent City, where they will inspect
the harbor project, and on Tuesday
will come to Grants Pass by automo-
bile, inspecting the country that will
be affected by the Improvement of
the harbor and the building of the
railroad from here to the harbor,
This board is the one that heard
the argument of the delegation last
winter at Washington city, and at
that time the engineers stated that
they had been convinced that there
were sufficient undeveloped resources
back of the harbor to warrant the
expenditure of funds for the construc-
tion of an even better harbor than
had been asked, and it is believed
that the present visit will be followed
by a congressional appropriation and
by immediate work upon the harbor.
Action by this board is a necessary
preliminary to the appropriation for
the work, for without the boards rec
ommendation congress will not pro-
vide the finances. The board comes
west to inspect this work at the re-
quest and invitation of the Grants
Pass and Crescent City delegations to
the Washington hearing, and it's COM
ing is distinct victory for the har-
Dor project. The party plans to leave
this city for Portland on the evening
train after arriving here from Cres-
cent City, but an effort is now being
made to have it prolong the stay
here, in which event some plan of
entertainment will be provided,
though in its letter the board states
that it is its desire to have no formal
receptions while on the trip. Col.
Thomas H. Rees of San Francisco,
under whose direction the prelimi-
nary survey of the Crescent City har-
Dor was made, will accompany the
party here from the south.

State Corporation
For Springs Resort

The following is from the pen of
the Ashland correspondent to the
Oregonian:
Encouraged by outside as we'll as
home influences, the possibility of
creating in the state of Oregon a
popular watering place and health
resort is being studied by the COM
mercial interests of Ashland, with the
help and advice of the industrial and
survey department of the University
of Oregon school of commerce.
''The help of the consular service
of the United States has been enlist
ed through the efforts of Director H.
B. Miller of the school of commerce,
who was a viistor in Ashland during
the Chautauqua period, and data,
financial statements, analyses of bus
mess and advertising policies and of
medical and sanitation attractions
are being collected from all the fam
Ouo WobCiihS pidStS III uOlu uClllb-
pheres.
Oregon has no resort of just this
kind says Director Miller, but it
seems that at least one municipality
in the state, which has the appropri-
ate natural advantages, should turn
its efforts in this direction.
What the Ashland people hope
to do with the help of this world
wide information when it is once
gathered is to go straight toward
their purpose with the least hesita-
tion and the least unnecessary ex-
pense, the fewest mistakes and the
greatest possible celerity and effect
iveness.

Robbery Epidemic
\ At Medford

Medford is suffering from an epi-
demic of petty robberies. The po-
lice are making an effort to clean the
city of all undesirables and Friday
night raided Chinese laundry. Thir-
teen Cinnamon were found in the
laundry and the restaurant. Eleven
were deep in games of fantan and
something over 800 was the stake.
The policemen entered, covered the
men with guns, and confiscated the
opium, the money and the fantan out
fit. What was left of the money was
returned to the Cinnamon after their
fines were paid. A Chinese woman
who apparently does not speak the
English language was among those
caught.
The colored porters on the South
ern Pacific trains are the links that
connect the opium ring recently un-
earthed at Vancouver with Medford,
is the belief of S. B. Sandefer of the
state board of pharmacy He says
the opium is smuggled in from the
Orient at Vancouver, passed to the
porters, who deposit it with China
men in the towns that they pass
through. That a large amount OF
opium has been left in Medford in
the past few years is shown by the
quantity found in the possession OF
the Cinnamon in the raid made by
the police on the Chinese laundry and
restaurant on South Riverside.

Dear Sirs: C. d. Perkins of Hit,
Cal, has asked me to answer your
letter of July 81.
The Hopwood brothers struck a
rich ledge of gold-bearing quartz on
July 5 at the Iron Ledge mine on
North Hungry creek owned by Mrs.
Ella Hopwood, their mother. The
ledge is about seven inches wide.
Mr.. Perkins has seen the ledge and
says that the rock that he has seen
will run not less than $1,000 per ton
and some will go as high as $50, 900.
c. d. and G.. T. Irwin of Gottville
have also made a very rich strike in
the old Yonker mine on Empire

made by E. r. From, the Portuguese

for cracking a safe in the county seat.
Although maintaining that he was
not a member of the gang, From told
where he had seen them, told how
they got the powder and how the
preparation was made. That he knew
their names he denied. According to
