I SO INDISPUTIBIE TESTIMONY "I have visited and studied every fruit region in the United States, southern Canada and northern Mexico as -well as traveled extensively through the fruit regions of Europe. I can truthfully say that nowhere are natural conditions as perfect for growing apples and pears as m the Rogue River valley, which I think is the finest fruit belt in the world," stated Professor J . u uara, entoinui- kaiser, public land and resorves, and laid down unreason able regulations for local officers to follow. There is lio reason why genuine conservation should perish because of Pinchot 's removal. There is no reason why there should not be a scientific cutting of the forest with the consideration of the future as well as the present, as this is to the interest of the tiinborinan. Scientific re planting of denuded forest land will accomplish many of the aims sought in the forest reserve policy, where large tracts of land are arbitrarily withheld from settlement and development. But the west cannot develop unless its forests, mines and water power are utilized' eminent will never utilize them. -and the gov THE APPLE AS A CURE-ALL. One of New York's commission firms, which for a good and sufficient reason has been blacklisted by Rogue River valley growei's. has been breaking into print wherever it could, denouncing the valley and its product and extolling those of California, where they secured several hundred carloads of Newtown Pippins.

In some of the peach districts of the world, notably Georgia, the life of a peach orchard is limited to a decade, while in this section there are peach trees 30 years old still annually yielding prolific crops NOW FOR A THOUSAND MEMBERS. new vcar The Medford Commercial club starts the with a membership of 562. double the size it averaged dur ing the vear just closed.

TAFT AND PINCHOT. President Taft in a recent statement at Washington made a declaration of independence in which he stated that he did not care whether he received a second term or not; that he was not working for it, but that he would do his best to make a good executive and pass such laws as he could with the means at his command. He could not break with the party leaders, such as Aldrich and Can non, for that would leave him without a party and without a party he could accomplish nothing. He stated in effect, though, that he would be president. There seems to be little doubt but that President Taft has been a disappointment to a large element in his own party, but it will undoubtedly follow, especially if he ful fills his platform pledges, that there will be a reaction in his favor just as there always is in favor of every public man who ie strong enough to live up to his honest belief, no matter what those beliefs are, and do the best he can. "The dismissal of Pinchot created a storm of protest, but Pinchot's latest actions seem to justify the dismissal. He is stated to consider himself a presidential candidate, which will confirm in many minds the impression that Pinchot is suffering from a bad case of swell head. At any rate, the dismissal was self-invited. Pinchot was ono of Roosevelt's kitchen cabinet and in his position was able to over-ride his superiors, and carry out his policies without consulting them. Ballinger, his superior, changed all of this, so it has not been surprising to see Pinchot unable to adjust himself to the new condi tion, and deliberately provoke his official decapitation by iefianco of executive orders. Pinchot is a crank on forestry, and deemed the needs of future generations more important than the needs of the present. There can bo a genuine conservation of resources without crippling the development of western states, yet in Pinchot 'a mind the development of the country was a secondary consideration. Ho bound around with red tape and officialism after the manner of his model, the individuals of the community. Manv of the busiest and ablest men have freely devoted their time and energy in I ? the club's interest, which are those of the public. "Without jto their co-operation success would have been impossible. Citizens of Medford and of the Rogue River valley owe it to themselves to become members of the club and to take an active part in its proceedings. Its work is for all, and all should co-operate. Its membership should be a thou sand instead of its present number, and it is hoped that ev eryone who has the interests of this section at' heart, not now a member, will send his name in to the secretary. No special invitation is required, but everyone is requested to join, and the sooner the better.
