I .50 CUT UP THE BIG ORCHARDS TIIE success attending the subdivision and sale of the famous Snowy Butte orchard, in small tracts should cause other large owners to do likewise, both for their own good and the good of the valley. Such tracts as tho Burrell orchard, consisting of 600 acres, the Bear Creek orchard and other famous producers, while good profit payers, would really be very much bigger profit payers if subdivided into small tracts, each supporting a family. While the large orchard in the Rogue River valley is a proven dividend payer, the small orchard is still more so and as the young groves mature, the labor problem will be an important factor. This problem will be partially set tied through having a family upon each tract. Large orchards are usually ovned by non-residents and the profits go to support one family in luxury, who spend most of their days in other parts of the world. The money made here is taken away. The big grove affords wages for a number of men, and this is about the extent m i a i mi V 1 It. A J or tne local oenerir. me same orcnara wrai ten, iwenty or fifty families upon it, each making a living and some now snBo ib'compiished in less time and with loss ettort than Arizona has expended to become a state. At no ) distant day the needs of this section, the richest in the! United States in natural resources, will command national attention, and the people of Orogon and California uo knowlege and admit the necessity for anothor state upon the Paciifc coast. All that is necessary to bring about the creation of the new commonwealth is unanimity of action, enterprise and energy, which is possessed in abundance by its inhabi tants. At present Siskiyou is gaining in population faster than any other portion of America, and there is no reason why the present year should not witness the inauguration of a systematic effort to obtain the recognition necessary and push it to a successful outcome. thing more, is worth many times to city and country what it ever could be in an undivided state. It is hoped that before the end of the year each of the larger orchards will have become the property and home of a multitude of per sons. The success of the proposed fruitgrowers' exchange now in process of organization will go a long way toward settling the marketing, picking and packing problems, and will enable the small grower to place his product in the markets of the world on equal terms with the large grower, thus Temoving the only advantage that the big orchard has had in the past over the small one, uniform pack and ability to ship in carload quantities.

CARLYLE SMITH. 1 THE ASHLAND RECALL. AN INSULT TO SHASTA. - 4-4- 4-4-4.- - , V CITIZEN of Newark, K J., writes to the Mail Tribune that an editorial published January 27 regarding the apple as a cure-all has attracted his attention. This article was written upon the receipt of a circular printed by a well known New York commission firm, one of the many para sites that prey upon the fruitgrowers, mulcting them of their profits, whose work has been so rav that his firm has practically been barred from further dealings with orchardists. This commission man purchased a large quantity of California Newtown apples and in order to unload them marketed them 'direct to the consumer through extensive advertising. Our correspondent says:, "In justice to the fancy Ore gon apples, which are seen in the markets here, and which excite much attention, would state that the fruit offered for sale by the firm above referred to is so inferior to the fancy Oregon product as not to be worthy of any compar ison. They have opened a store in this city for a disposal of apples and upon personal investigation I found the fruit to be small and green with many blemishes. In fact, not o good as lots of eastern apples sold at a lower price. They .are widely advertised as 'far western Newtown Pippins' and it is too bad that many people are likely to confound them with the genuine Newtown Pippins from Oregon." Oregon products and particularly those of the Rogue Uiver valley, must expect to suffer through the unscrupu lous actions of commission men. The only way in, which to successfully prevent injuring the fair name of local fruit is to handle it all through a central exchange, along the lines proposed by the organization now in the process of formation, when the name will be a guarantee of quality. r TO BUILD SISKIYOU'S CAPITOL npHES paper is in receipt of a communication from a Maine syndicate as follows: "Wo are decidedly interested in the new state of Sis kiyou issue. Can wo secure four townships either in south ern Oregon or northern California? If so, we would agree to jipend $1,500,000 in laying out and developing a capital cry. It will be some time before we are ready, but we mean business, and when the time comes we will be ready." This is but a sample of many communications received by this newspaper in connection with the proposed state of Siskiyou, and shows how well spread and how well ad vertised is tho proposition for southern Oregon and north ern California to secede from their respective states and organize a new commonwealth. There is nothing impractical pr visionary regarding the proposed new state of Siskiyou. The organization of a (Editorial in S, F. Chronicle.) Ashland, n pleasant city at the head of the Rogue river valley, in Oregon, has a "recall" provision in Its charter, under which a petition has been filed to remove the mayor for "incompetence nnd lnxness" in administration. Tho mayor seems t fear the result, for, instead of as sisting in the effort to obtain the opinion of the people on his admin istration, he is bringing an injunc tion suit, hoping to have the law de clared invalid by reason of some al leged irregularity in its enactment. It is well worth considering wheth er it should not be made Impossible to attack the validity of a law ujoii which the people concerned have voted by reason of irrcfgularity in the process of submission. Doubtless tho methods prescribed by law should be adhered to. It would be quite proper to provide penalties to be in- flioted on official departing from them. And in case of attempted wrong procedure it would bo legiti mate to apply to the courts to en force proper procedure. But when a proposition has been submitted in such form that the electorate could not fail to understand the question, and the people have voted, their no tion ought to cure nil technical de fects. Probably "incompetence" in an official might be difficult to prove but it does not need to le proven. The people nre not compelled to give reasons for their action. In lb Ashland case the only question of importanco is whether or not they de sire their present mayor any longer. - .4- -t. 4- 4.

Tho newspaper representative then asked For-Don If ho would consent to glvo the names and addroxscs of two women whom his doctors have cured whllo there In Orovllle. This For-Don Kindly consented to do, mid called my attention to tho caso of Mrs. M.

It Is almost useless to dcscrlbo this woman's con dition to women, as It Is tho samo old story dragging pains, constipation, torpid liver, backache, and worst of all nervousness.
