The school board has called mass
meeting for next Wednesday even
ing when the taxpayers are asked to
discuss the question of improvement
of the high school building. 1t is
known that extensive repairs must
be made upon the building to make
it safe and to protect it in the future.
Certain defects in the construction
OF the building are said to have i'm
paired its strength, making imme-
diate action necessary, and an archi-
tect's estimate shows that quite a
sum OF money will be needed to re-
pair the building properly. The
school board desires the advice and
guidance of the patrons in the mat
ter, and for that reason has called
the meeting.

: OREGON WEATHER
DEVELOPING THE MINES.

The sale OF the Fiddler's gulch
mine to capitalists from the north
means an advance for the mining in
terests of southern Oregon. The hold
ers of this property had developed
it to point where its value was es-
tablished, but had not the capital to
equip it as producer such as its
great body Of ore would warrant.
Capital is now brought into it, ana
all parties to the transaction will no
doubt profit as they should profit.
The mine has passed the stage Of
being mere prospect, for the work
that has been put into it in tunnels,
etc, has proved beyond dispute that
it was safe Investment, warrant
ing rather long price in its pur-
chase.
There are many promising pros
poets throughout Josephine county
that await development simply be-
cause their owners have not the cap
ital to put into them. Some of these
holders are professedly only await
ing purchaser. but often when a
prospective purchaser appears in the
ofing with capital to develop, the
price is boosted till the man with
the money leaves in disgust. The
development OF quartz mine is an
expensive proposition. The pur-
chase Of an improved prospect is al
ways more or less of a gamble. Capt.
tai can not pay too long price for
a mere chance. There is safe
middle ground where the prospector
can receive adequate compensation
for. his find" and where the man
with the money can feel justified in
developing the prospect During the
last few months there have been
many investigators in the field who
have announced their intention Of
buying mines II the prospect and the
price were in keeping. There has
been a complaint from several of
these would-be investors that south
ern Oregon prospectors we're holding
their chances" at prices that imme-
diately frightened capital away The
man whose hardihood and effort have
made the discovery of the prospect
possible is entitled to receive Just
treatment in this matter. but he
would no doubt profit more II he
could make the price such that capt.
tai could be brought into 1t II he
could not himself develop his mine.
1t is not helping southern Oregon
or any of its citizens to shout about
mountains Of minerals unless the
mines are developed and the minerals
turned into the channels of COM
merce. So long as the values are
locked up in the rocks they will buy
neither -four nor bacon.

Cows, Tuberculor Tested and Produced Under Latest
RETESTS FOR
TUBERCULOSIS

1t is not generally considered
wise to make a retest for tubercu-
losis within 60 days after the
original test. On such retests
two or even three times the nor
NAL dose of tubereulin should be
used. 1t is also advisable to be-
gin taking the temperatures at
about four hours after the injec-
ton of the tubereulin. On such
retests some animals develop a
fever within a short period, and
the fever persists for only short
time. If negative results are OBJ
tanned on retest of animals that
have given any indication of re-
action on the original test. the re-
suits should be discounted very
greatly.
There is very great differ
enee in individual animals as to
the way they act on retests. Some
animals will apparently react at
every injection of the tubereulin,
even If the injections are made
only a few weeks apart. Other
animals will not react for a con-
siderable period of time. 1t is con-
sidered unwise to return to a
herd any animal that has given
indications of reaction on the
original test. 1t is quite certain
that the return of such animals to
herd has caused the perpetual
ton of the disease in many in
stances.-E. G. Hastings, The
Country Gentleman.

KEEPING BUTTER

Butter is stored by the large
commission. men for periods of a
year without serious deterioration
in quality. This is done by hav-
ing the tubs paraffined to prevent
the escape of moisture and the
entrance of molds, and by having
the temperature very low and
constant
Butter, to keep for some time,
should be put up in large tubs,
rather than in small packages, as
loss will be less, and the amount
of butter which may be off flavor
due to being on the outside of the
package. will be correspondingly
less. When you wish to take one
of the tubs out of storage, re-
move the butter from the tub and
immerse in weak brine. In this
condition it will keep until used.

Breeders association has an ex-

Each year cups are awarded to
the cows that have produced the
highest percentage of butter fat
above the requirements of their
particular classes. The cups are
given by individual breeders in

association to be awarded. The
association had a rule that no man
could win more than one cup in
the same class in one year, but
this year the rule was cut out,
and now one man may have all
the cups ii his herd is big enough
and good enough.
