mineral mystery which offers an in

Pathologist Goes
To Utah College

County Pathologist NJ. P. Hender-
son has accepted a position as pro-
fessor of plant pathology and biology
in the Brigham Young University in
Provo, Utah. Professor Henderson
has been thinking seriously of accept
ing the position for the past fort
night, but it was not until last Thurs
day that he fully made up his mind to
do so.
The new position comes as an ad-
vancement and is larger field than
could be offered Mr.. Henderson in
this county, with higher salary and
better opportunity.
He is not to leave until the latter
part of the summer.
Professor Henderson has been
pathologist for Jackson county for
the past year. During this time he
has been very active, and orchardists
speak highly of his work.
Dr. Henderson came here from the
University of Wisconsin, upon the
Joint recommendation of the Fruit
growers League and the Oregon Ag-
ricultural College. His salary and
office expenses are jointly paid by
the county and college under the ag-
ricultural extension law.

To Investigate
Curry Minerals

To ascertain the economic value of
a large body of iron ore reported to
be existing in Curry county, in prox-
unity to coal deposits in Coos county,
is the object of a mineral research
expedition into southwestern Oregon
by Graham Michel, geologist of the
University of Oregon, and G. M. But
Ter, head of the geological depart
ment of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege. They left Eugene Monday and
expect to return late in September.
If they find the deposits to be as
represented by persons who have ex-
plored that region and who have sub
mitted specimens of maganite which
have been found to be a high grade
iron ore, they believe the possibility
for the development of great min
ing industry in the state will be re-
vealed, the only competition to be
mines in Michigan and Japan.
Some of the iron ore which has
been brought out by men who claim
that there is mountain of it in
Curry county has gone as high as 65
per cent copper. Pruit, the source Of
borax, is also another important dis
covery, which they will investigate.

A forest eire, the first of the sea-
son, was started on the summit OF
the Siskiyous Tuesday morning and
for a time menaced one of the most
valuable timber belts in southern
Oregon. Had it not been for the per-
sistent work of ranchmen of the Sis
kiyous the fire would have spread to
the government timber, By back
firing the ranchmen were able to
hold the fire in check until force of
men from Ashland arrived.

Ancient and Modern Cemeteries.

Editor Tidings: | wish to take a
little space in the columns of your
paper for the purpose of enlightening
or rather educating the citizens of
Ashland, more especially the lot own
ers of our cemeteries. | shall en-
deavor to divide my subject under
several headings as it would occupy
too much of your valuable space in
one item.
First, cemetery history and burial
customs.
The word cemetery means a sleep
ing place and was first applied to
places of burial by the early Chris
tans. The ancient Romans practiced
cremation, earth burial becoming a
practice on account of the Christian
belief in the resurrection of the body.
Burial in the early times was made
in tombs, not connected with the
churches. Later persons prominent
in ecclesiastical work were buried in
or beneath the churches, and from
this arose the practice of burying the
distinguished dead in the churches,
a custom pTacticed in America until
recent years. An example of this is
seen in the present method of bury
ing the distinguished dead in West
minister Abbey. Space in the church
es being limited, the practice Of bur-
ial in the churchyard became Gus
tom in order that the dead would rest
as near the sacred edifice a spossible.
Memories of the departed we're a
prominent part OF the church work,
the names on the tombstones being
seen by the worshippers at each serv-
ice, reminding the living of the vir-
tues of the dead and mans mortality
Such church grayeyards are today
prominent landmarks in New Eng
land cities, especially Boston, New
York and Philadelphia.
One of the most interesting Of
these is the Trinity church graveyard
in New York city. This is located on
Broadway, just off Wall street, and
occupies some of the most valuable
land in the world. During the Ameri-
can Revolution thousands OF soldiers
were buried there, the bodies in many
cases being placed one on top of an
other. During the summer of 1871
the grade was raised several feet by
hauling in earth in order that the
bodies might not be exposed on the
surface. The oldest tombstone bears
date of 1851, although Trinity church
was not erected until 1897. AS pop
ulation increased the necessity was
seen of having burial grounds sep
arate from the churches, in order to
get them away from the more popu-
lous centers. The first rural ceme-
terry of America. Mount Auburn of
Boston, was established in 1881, and
this was soon followed by Laurel Hill
in Philadelphia. Greenwood in New
York was established in 1910. BY
1860 the practice of churchyard bur
ial was quite generally discontinued.
Funeral and burial customs have
been handed down since ancient
times. No one generation has seen

Details Of Oregon
Victory at Fair

Oregon Building, San Francisco
Grand prize for the best, most COM
plete and most attractive" exhibit in
horticulture, together with score Of
gold and silver medals for individual
exhibits in horticulture; grand prize
for the "best general display of for
age products" including all un-
threshed grain, together with three
medals of honor, twenty-four gold
medals, sixty-nine silver medals and
eighty-nne bronze medals for various
products OF the soil. How is that for
one weeks awards for Oregon? From
the noise being made by the six or
eight states in direct competition, the
Oregon winnings ought to be salts
factory to Oregonians. Oregon fruit
is now officially recognized as the
best and Oregon forage products will
become as favorably known as the
Oregon rose.
In the horticultural awards the
Willamette valley was given a gold
medal on Italian prunes. However
long before the jury announced its
decision the public had decided that
the Willamette prune was incompar-
ably superior to any othter to be tast-
ed on the grounds.
When it came to processed fruits
the splendid display from the Rogue
River Medford, Ashland and
Grants Pass-captured the gold med
al and the admiration of every visitor
to the exhibit. Douglas and Wascc
counties and tthe Willamette valley
we're each given a silver medal fol
their fine displays of bottled fruits
All of the awards in horticulture
were made on the showing in the Pal
ace of Horticulture alone, the mag
nificent displays in the Oregon build
ing being excluded from competition
The winning Oregon exhibit, In
charge of C. N. Ravlin, is a beauty
particularly delightful for its simple
ity and the absence of the fusslness
so common here. Each fruit section
of the state contributed a full share
to the big winning and is entitled to
equal credit.
Oregonians on the exposition
grounds are particularly LEASED that
the state captured the grand prize on
forage crops. While Oregonians
know that general farming represents
the larger portion of the wealth of
the state, and that the state is uneX-
celled in the production of superior
forage and grains, the apple and pear
booster, more active than the rest,
made Oregon known most largely as
a premier horticultural state. The
manificent showing in the Palace of
Horticulture has made tremendous
impression and in winning the grand
prize has brought Oregon's larger side
to the attention of the nation, which
will now know that Oregon can raise
hogs, feed dairy animals and beat the
world in other things than fruit. This

any decided change in methods, al
though many customs of former times
are now no longer practiced. The
sacrament Of the Lords Supper at
the grave was a common practice dur
ing the fourth century. Early in the
nineteenth century those attending
the funeral were given rings as me-
MORALS of the dead 1t was also a
common custom to present the
mourners with white leather gloves
Later black gloves were given, and
still later only the officiating clergy
man was so honored, being presented
with pair of black silk gloves. From
this custom we have the black gloves
worn by the pallbearers. Until re-
Gently it was common custom to
serve refreshments at the home OF
the deceased after the burial service
to all attending the funeral. This
custom still holds in Ireland and in
many cases tokes the nature OF a
feast, the preparation and serving Of
the food and drink being a heavy
burden on the relatives of the de-
ceased. Formerly the body was fol-
lowed to the grave by practically all
attending the funeral exercises, but
in recent years the burial has become
more and more private, concerning
only the immediate family and near
relatives.
Until recent years it was the GUS
tom to toll the church bell during the
last hours and for some time after
death. This was to keep away the
evil spirits, thus giving the departing
soul a running start that the evil spir
its might not catch up with it. Later
the church bell was only tolled after
death. This custom was for all to
stay for the moment and pray for the
soul of the departed, but this practice
has been discontinued in most locali-
ties.
Because the early Christians be-
lieved in the resurrection Of the body,
the body was laid in the grave in an
east and west direction, with the head
to the west. The custom originated
in order that the spirit might face the
rising sun on resurrection morn. This
has been a general practice until re-
cent years, but is now passing In all
modern cemeteries no attention Is
paid to orientation, the graves being
placed on the lot so as to make the
best use of the space. Coffins have
been used since ancient times, the
record of Joseph being, They en-
balmed him and he was put in cof-
fin in Egypt" In England since the
sixteenth century the distinguished
dead have been buried in coffins; the
poor in a winding sheet, a coffin be-
ing used only to carry the body to
the grave. Coffin burial with the
English-speaking people, however,
has been practically universal for the
past century. The present practice
of keeping the body for several days
after death comes from an early Gus
tom of allowing three days for the
departure of the spirit. We are told
that when the sisters visited the tomb
of Christ to anoint the body on the
third day, as was custom, they found
the door of the sepulchre open and
the body gone. The practice of sit
ting up with the corpse is no longer
considered necessary, although still

Gossip of the Game.

The Kewatin boys are nice fellows
and played a clean game.
The Lancaster boys showed a very
plucky spirit Friday in tackling their
big opponents, especially after they
found that after all Keewatin had its
limitations
Steele, the Keewatin quarterback, is
young fellow who will make his
mark in the football world
Virgil Angus did some effective
tackling holding Steele of Keewatin
in several instances.
Keewatin has a schedule that will
keep them busy from now until the
latter part of January. On January
% they play at st. Augustine, Florida,
where they meet the Havana (Cuba)
athletics. On January 16 they meet
the Southern All Stars at the same
city.

Tweed and Fred Avery came into
the Lancaster lineup toward the end
of the game and Fingered things up
considerably for the short time they
played.
Everett evidently works on the prin-
cipal that ''the bigger they are the
harder they fall" and some of them
did fall pretty hard. too.
There are three Indians on the Kee-
watin team every one of them a star,
and all nice fellows. GoyOn, the big
fellow, has played all over the country
being one of Walter Camps "All
Americans" He is, we understand,
debarred from playing big colleg-
late games on account of having
served the limit, and now plays with
the smaller colleges and academies.
He is over six feet TALL weighs ZIG
pounds stripped, and looks like a To-
connective when he charges down the
field with the ball.
