On Reading Thermometers.

One reason why it mas been errone-
ously claimed, locally, that there are
frost pockets and frost-free orchard
regions in the Rogue River Valley is
that many of the privately owned
thermometers have been improperly
exposed, according to j. Cecil Alter,
observer in the U. S. Weather Bureau,
who is making a study of local condi-
tions.
The claim of serious temperature
vagaries is not borne out in the rec
ords obtained from the bureaus ther-
mometers, exposed at many places in
the valley in regulation shelters. The
valley is really quite uniformly fa-
vorabe for fruit growing and for such
frost-protection work as necessary,
Mr.. Alter states.
A thermometer exposed without
shelter indicates values too high in
the sunshine and too low at night
Especially is this true or nights when
dew or frost is formed on the ther-
mometer. In these cases, it is stated,
the temperature indicated may be
anywhere from to 10 degrees too
low The thermomptnr 1,1ust he kant
dry, and when one is spending large
sum of money heating an orchard one
wants to know the correct tempera-
ture to guide him in his expenditures.
A small wooden shelter painted
white, with louvred or Slated sides
like a window shutter, is recommend
ed 1t should have a bottom and a
double top with an air space between
the two roofs 1t should be about two
feet square and two feet high, though
for a single instrument it may be
smaller. 1t should stand about four
or five feet from the ground.
Such a shelter prevents the accum-
ulation Of moisture on the thermome-
ter under ordinary conditions, and al
lows free air circulation, yet the in
strument is always in the shade Any
workman can construct such a shelter

COUNTY TREASURER - Deputy
County Treasurer Myrtle w.
Blakeley announces her candidacy
for the office of County Treasurer.
| hereby announce my candidacy
on the Republican ticket for the
office of County Treasurer, to be
voted on at the coming primaries
l have held the position as deputy
in this office for the past year and
am confident that l can fulfill the
duties connected Herewith.
l served two years as Deputy
County Recorder before taking the
position as Deputy County Treasur-
er; | have also had experience as
accountant for several corpora
tions, such as tie Medford Con-
crete Construction Company and
Medford Ice and Storage Company,
before taking up county work, and
will say that my past record is
open for inspection to the voters Of
Jackson county.
If nominated and elected I will
run the office without the expense
of deputy and continue to serve
the public just as efficiently in the
future as | have in the past.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY-The first of
the year a number of Republicans,
including many who approved of
my efforts in the interest of the
taxpayers as State Representative
four years ago, requested me to be-
come a candidate for the office of
District Attorney, inasmuch as
there would be, in addition to the
regular duties of the criminal and
juvenile courts, new duties and
conditions confronting the office.
Among these were mentioned the
enforcement of the Prohibition
Act, and the likelihood of having
to foreclose many tax liens, partic-
Il u'arly those against the Southern
Pacific land grant of nearly half
million acres in Jackson county,
amounting to about 100000.
My reply was that / would be-
come a candidate if it were gener-
ally desired and the race could be
made without assuming special OBJ
legation to any particular individ-
ual, faction, locality or interest.
Therefore, after consulting per-
sonally or by letter with several
hundred men and women Of all oc-
cupations in all parts of the coun-
ty, believing there is a real desire
for my candidacy, l will be can
didate for the nomination Of Dis
trict Attorney on the Republican
ticket. JOHN H. CARKlN.

FRUIT and FARM
.s.s - - 44a

in an hour or so from so cents worth
of material
Another reason why the climate OF
the valley has been libelled, accord
ing to Mr.. Alter, is that thermometers
have not always been carefully read.
1t is very difficult, if not impossible,
to obtain correct reading at night
from the light of match, candle or
a lantern, as such practices are almost
sure to heat the thermometer-when
in fact the orchardist may desire to
heat his orchard instead
A small flash lamp is the best light.
The thermometer should not be
touched while reading it, for even the
presence of ones body will cause the
thermometer to read higher. The OBJ
server who makes a practice of using
warm light to make a leisurely
reading of the thermometer which he
holds near his face in his warm hand,
is apt to get the impression that it is
his orchard and not the thermometer
that is frost-free.

Mrs. RlaISeley's Statement.

To the Voters and Taxpayers of Jack
son County:
find some opposition to my candi.
dacy for the office of county treas
urer on account of my being a wom-
an, one OF my opponents supporters
at the Lincoln day banquet, was
heard to make the remark that che
didn't want any blank woman handl-
ing the county funds OF course, |
wouldn't want this gentleman to vote
for me no matter how competent am
to fill the position.
But the reason for this article
is to bring before the voters and tax
payers of Jackson County, matter
which has escaped the notice of the
last two expert accountants who aud
tied the county treasurer's books and
any mention of which fails to appear
in their reports.
do not wish these remarks to be
construed in any way as an attempt
at "mud-slinging" for I assure you
that such is not my intention, but

stand for: A continuance of pro-
gressive policies in education, econ

equal educational advantages for
the boys and girls on the farms
with those in the cities and towns.
If nominated and elected | will
in the future, as in the past, give
nv full time and best efforts to
the supervision of the schools and
administration of the duties of the
office. During my incumbency l
have not confined myself strictly
to the routine duties of the office,
but have taken a broader view OF
the mission of the County School
Superintendent. In addition to
my efforts to raise the standard of
teaching and improve the physical
conditions at school, have la
bored to promote the welfare of
the boys and girls through indus
trial clubs, school fairs, school
credits for home work, parent
teacher circles, spelling and arith-
metic contests, and other activities.
I feel that my work has been re-
garded with favor, and in order to
continue it am asking for re-elec-

The bank should have paid interest
on balances as shown on the ledger
but paid interest on the balances
shown on their statements.
The comparison shows that the
bank failed to pay interest on ap-
proximately $35, 100000 for the nine
months shown above. Was this an
oversight on the part of the bank
and Mr.. Cronemiller?
The law is very plain on the sub
ject of bank depostaries, and two
per cent interest must be paid by the
banks on all county funds deposited
therein, as shown BY the monthly
statements, showing daily balances
in the banks, see chapter 273, 1913
Session Laws of Oregon, amended in
1915.
1t would seem that there IS due
and owing Jackson County approx
mately $525.00 interest which the
bank failed to pay and Mr.. Cronemil-
Ter as county treasurer failed to col
lect.
There is no order of record from
the county court authorizing Mr..
Cronemiller to overlook this item of
interest, and if there was, Mr.. Croner
miller would not be justified in fail
ing to follow the statutes of Ore
gon, this should be a matter for the
Jackson County Tax League to in
vestigate.
The above facts and figures can be
verified by the records in the Coun-
ty Treasurer's office.
