CONTINUE THE CAMPAIGN.
State Horticultural Commissioner Carson voices the
opinion of every progressive citizen in his desire Iliac ihe
county court of Jackson county make ample appropria
tion to continue the fight against orchard pests and ren
der Professor O'Gara all possible assistance in the onm
pnign to clean up the orchards.
ilr. Carson hits the nail on the head when he says:
"The fruit industry of Jackson county is now lo largo
to he abandoned, and a policy of economy is equal to a
virtual abandonment of the orchards unless every pear
blight germ in the county is destroyed."
It is inconceivable that the county commissioners will
not heed the demands of the county's principal industry
and furnish all the funds needed. In this connexion, a
special levy for this purpose would be good policy.
Professor O'Gara 's campaign against blight may be
compared to the government's campaign against bubonic
plague in San Francisco. It is thorough and . weeping i
and. only by such a campaign can a plague, whether itj
threatens humanity or orchards, be stamped out. The first
cost will necessarily be heavy, but the end justifies dry
expenditure, for the warfare has been so Successful up
to date as to prove the the fact that blight in the Rogue
River valley can, be controled and probably oliiiva:ed.
CO-OPERATION ESSENTIAL.
The State Horticultural society has been regarded lo
cally and with some grounds as a Hood River and "Yil
lamette valley annex. Hence the Rogue River growers
have been conspicuous by their absence.
The time has come, however, when Rogue River should
participate in the proceedings of every horticultural gath
ering in the entire west, and exhibit at every fruit show.
Tlie Rogue River valley has the largest planted orchard I
area of any section of Oregon, and its co-operation is essen-
tial to the complete success of the industiy. Oregon can-1
not afford to ignore the Rogue River, nor the Rogue River
Oregon. " '
As the banner pear section of the northwest, and of
the nation, and as the producer of the finest apples grown, !
T" T- I V it. 1 1 1 -!'
jxogue itiver growers must neucerortn rane advantage 01
every opportunity to push their fruit and advertise their
products. Self interest, if nothing else, demands it.
Attention is called to the. letter published elsewhere
from President Atwell of the State Horticultural society,
inviting the co-operation of Rogue River valley growers,
and it' is to be hoped that local orchardists will respond,
and make the society what it should be, representative of
the entire state, thus securing publicity for its greatest
mnt belt.

GOOD GOVERNMENT.
A public official that renders faithful, efficient service
for his constituents, and sacrifices many hours of his time
for the public good without a penny of recompense is
rarety in any city. When with faithfulness is combined
progressiveness and alertness for public good, one has
found nearly the ideal public servant let his personality
be what it may.
Medford has been fortunate during the past year in
having this type of men in office. For almost the first
time, complete harmony has reigned in the city adminis
tration, with the result that an enormous amount of work
has been accomplished, and a program of public improve
ment been carried out never before attempted m a city
the size of Medford.
For the good of the city in general it is to- be hoped that
the present councilmen will be unanimously re-elected,
that no chance may be taken of introducing an element of
discord, or of blocking the wheels of progress.
It will be hard to explain the candidacy of opponents.

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE TO THE CHILDREN FROM THEIR BISHOP
Someone describes a family wh ich consisted of a mother and two
children. Hearing as sho thought tho footsteps of her favorite, the
mother called out, "Is that you, darling?" She reecived tho reply, "No,
mother, it's only me." In our Heavenly Father's family, dear children,
thoro is no such thing ns favoritism; and when God told his angel to say
to tho shepherds, on the first Christmas morning, "Unto you is born this
day, in tho city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ tho Lord," IIo meant
that joyful message to sound all down tho ages until reached your ears. IIo
ia your bauviouB, wnolJy yours, just as much as if there were no one elso
in all the world. This should make you very, vory happy, and joyful; for
uo is your nest uanstmas jprt. TJie uttlo baby Lorn in Bothlehem waB not
raorely a local Jeans, but "tho light that lightoth every man that comoth
into the world." Our dear Lord Jesus was not merely the Son of a Vir
gin of Palestine. He was tho Son of Man, the perfect Son of Humanity
for all ages. In a very real sense yon may Bee that glad and happy Child
as truly as the shepherds saw Him. "How can this be?" do you say? Ho
Las told you, "Blessed nre tho puro in heart; for they shall see God." Our
blessed Lord promises to all who nro pure in heart that they shall boo Him
now, in tho timd of this mortal life, not oneo in a lifetime, but as longer
as life shall last. Pray and strivo for purity of heart; bo simplo, bo nat
ural, be yourself, and tako your Soviour at His word; and you will havo
tho merriest Christmas a child of God can havo. Lovingly,
Your friend and Bishop,
- f . CHARLES SCADDING, Bishop of Oregon.
