boarded Train No. 9 for Houston,
Texas he Immediately retired for the
nigh. but had scarcely laid down
when he discovered that there was a
negro in the room. Having no wea-
pom at hand, Mr.. Coburn jumped
from the window of his room to a
neighbors house a few feet distant
and secured a gun. He returned i'm
mediately to his room but the in
truder was not in sight. With a
lighted lamp, young Coburn search
ed the house and while attempting
to look behind a bed in a corner he
came suddenly upon the negro who
blew out the lamp and struck at his
pursuer. Upon being attacked by the
black man, whom Mr.. Coburn later
described as being short and heavy
set, Coburn dropped the lamp and
clinched with his assailant. They
struggled through two rooms of the
house, the negro alternatedw trying
to strike and to release himself,
while the house defender held on as
best he could with a shot gun in one
hand. Upon reaching the rear gal
lery Of the house the gun was drop
ped and the single cartridge it con-
tanned was exploded. The negro then
jerked loosed and rained blows upon
Coburn until he was rendered I'M

the first one arrived they found the
young man unconscious upon the
ground. As soon as he was revived a
search, in which a large number of
men joined, was made in all parts of
the town for the negro. Coburn
could not offer no further descrip-
ton than that the black man was
short and fat and that he wore a
jumper.
Glen Coburn is the 17-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Coburn.
Having seen his mother and grand
mother off on the train and with
his father absent on business in the
swamps, the young man was alone
in the house when he discovered the
negro. He has apparently suffered
no serious injury from the blows he
received.

ORCHARD PRUNED IN WINTER
No Difference In Growth and Maturity
Seen Where Work Done Between
November and May.

Fruit growers do not need to wait
until spring to prune their orchards.
says W., G. Brierley of the division Of
horticulture at University farm. Re-
suits at University farm show little or
no difference in the growth and matur-
lty Of the wood where pruning has been
done any time between November and
May.
II the usual care is taken to make
the cuts close to the main trunk or
branches no stubs will be left to die
and decay, though the covering Of
wounds with Z white lead and oil paint
or with common grating wax warmed
to the consistency Of cold molasses
will give added protection.
Moderate pruning is better than
heavy cutting.

RIGHT METHOD OF GRATING

Each year at this time we print our
method Of grating, which is as fol-

gins to move in the stock, be ready
this occurs early in the plum and cher

Do the grating, If possible, on mild

necessary tools are chisel, or thick

it is sawed off smoothly with a fine
tooth saw, a hammer or mallet to aid

cause Chile expresses her inabiiity 70

FULL CAUSE FOR JUBILEE

Medford has recently shown a COM
mendable enterprise in holding a ju-
bilee over the shipment OF the first
car load OF copper ore ever shipped
through the city. The ore was from
the Blue Ledge district. and was
hauled by wagon to Jacksonville
where 1t was loaded on the cars for
shipment to the smelter at Tacoma.
The business men of the Jackson
county metropolis have made liberal
displays OF ore in their windows. and
tags, each with small sample OF
the ore attached, we're sold to nearly
every citizen OF the community. Some
Of the tags we're also sent to Salem
where the law makers were appro-
priately labelled with the statement
Copper is King"
Our neighbors can we'll afford to
feel enthused. They have but to see
the wonderful payroll which is be-
ing developed in Josephine county.
where copper Is indeed king, to re-
joice that Jackson county will also
benefit from the industry The ship
ment OF a carload Of ore does not
longer move our people to celebra-
tion, for here the shipping OF copper
has become an established industry
OF magnitude just as 1t gives prom
ise Of becoming In other localities.
One mine alone sent out II cars OF
high grade ore last month, the poor

the heavy commodity over the muddy
roads, and every month during the
