A former Michigan man takes issue with the Mail Tri bune's assertion that Oregon apples are superior in flavor to those of his native state. He says: "I admit Oregon apples are superior in size and color to those of Michigan, and 1 admit Michigan growers only average one crop out of three on account of frost, but I think the flavor of the Michigan apple cannot be beat. never tasted such apples as we had in Michigan when I was a boy nothing has ever surpassed them. . And nothing will ever surpass those apples (particular ly the stolen ones) we ate in our vouth, no matter where we were when life had all the freshness of the morning and the world was a great wonder house still to bo explor ed when the heart was full of sunshine and the mind of delightful illusions. The fruit had a better flavor in the days that are lost because life had a better flavor. The veteran editor of the Oregonian still talks of those delicious apples grown half a ceutury and more ago in the Willamette valley and still wonders why they don't grow such apples now and he thinks that they can. again begrown and the Willamette valley produce the best fruit m tne world, because it grew the best m his boyhood. They grow the same apple now but tliev don t taste the same --he has changed, the apples hnvn't. j The weary world worn man looks back with a sigh to the things "mother used to cook" and thinks nobody ever made such dainties and no one ever did. But it wasyoutli that lent the flavor and the appetite in the days when catching a small bullhead on a bent pin gave a greater thrill than a battle with a ten-pound Rogue River trout does now. It is a scientific fact that better apples arc grown today than the world ever knew before. With the advance of civilization has come he perfection of the apple, the pear, the orange and other fruits. Xo fruit ever produced ifi any ago excels that grown today Yet, although we know this, no apple has the flavor of that which we knock ed off the old apple tree many veal's ago, when the world was young because we were young, for Tomorrow the citizens of Mcdt'ord will determine whether or not they secure an electric trolley line to trav erse the valley, and the result will be near.iV unanimous, and it should be. Every progressive citizen'shonld be on hand to vote early, as the construction of intorurban elec tric lines means the expenditure of millions of dollars in the county, and will be a great developer of the valley. It is not. every city that has a chance to seeurfcJsurh an invest ment, and Medford cannot afford to let Jim opportunitv for progress pass. .

I "A boy's will is the wind's will And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts." i ON FRUIT EXHIBITS. Mr.AValter Burrell in another column writes regarding theexhibit of the State Horticultural society at Portland and makes the following pertinent suggestions: "Instead of finding fault with the Oregon State Horti cultural society, the fruit growers of the Rogue River val ley should bestir themselves and appoint someone, or a 'committee, to secure fruit for the annual exhibition of this society at Portland; also places on the program, for the speakers from said valley, as the meetings of the society offer a legitimate and excellent means for advertising Med ford and the countiy tributary to it. "Portland is the easiest field to work in to secure peo ple and money for Medford and vicinity, as it is close by and advantage should be taken of every opportupnity that occurs there, or elsewhere, to advertise the wonderful pro ductiveness and resources of the Rogue River valley." This is a very sensible suggestion and it is to be hoped that Mr. Burrell, who owns one of the largest commercial orchards in the valley and produces some of the finest fruit grown, will practice what he preaches and hereafter exhibit, not only at Portland, but at Spokane and other places. The Commercial club will expect his co-operation in arranging exhibits for the coming year. The Commer cial club's great trouble has been to secure the co-operation of the growers in furnishing fruit. Rogue River growers, who have exhibited in the past at the Horticultural society, withdrew in disgust at the treatment received, but this should not deter them from again exhibiting next year. They have nothing to lose and much to be gained. No more important committee can be named by the Commercial club than an exhibit committee, to arrange for suitable representation from the Rogue at all fruit shows, and it is to be hoped that the club will armoint such a committee early in the year to prepare in advance for the coming auuimn.

LOT OF YOUR It's a great pity when any really good plan has to bo abandoned before it is practically developed. And that's what happens to enough plans to fill the world with things that ought to be. Tho trouble is that people who have tho gift of plan ning do not usually know the people who have the gift of seeing the possibilities of a plan, and the courage to fur nish tho money required for its realization. No great thing is done, as a rule, until the thinker of it has met the man who lias the money and the foresight to create a reality out of an idea. And it is certain that for every good idea evolved in flie brain of one man, another man can be found who will fur nish the means for its development. In this work of intro ducing ideas to dollars, the possibilities of the want ads i Over Farmers and FrultBrowers Bank have never been fully tested although many a realized wmmmmmmLmmmZ plan owes4 its existence almost wholly to the intervention ammi 4- miles south of Medford.
