Put nam. manager of the Medford Moll Trl one, who, upon oath, acknowledged that the above figures are true and correct. (Beal) IL N. YOCKET. Notary Public for Oregon. SHIPMENT of pears has begun in the Rogue River Val ley and soon the fruit world villv resound with the record breaking prices received. It is estimated that the yield of the Medford district will approximate four hun dred em's, which will net the growers half a million dollars. Medford peal's command the highest prices, liartlet ts have sold in eastern markets as high as $5 a box f. o. b. car. The other other varieties, such as Cornice, have brought in the vicinity of $10 and D'Airjon as high as $7.50. Last year Bartletts averaged growers $2 a box net at Medford. The highest prices are secured because the finest peal's known are produced here. No other region grows as perfect a pear not even sunny France, where they origi nate. Soil, altitude and climate combine to make the Rogue River Valley the ideal pear region. Tu flavor, keeping quality and appearance local peal's excel every known pear. The tree is a thrifty one and produces con tinuously for over half a century. Another thing that helps the local grower secure high prices, is that Medford pears reach the consumer just as the last of the California crop is marketed and before the local eastern crop is ripened. This helps to make peal's the most profitable crop grown in Oregon, and enables growers to net over $1,000 an acre annually, as has been repeatedly done by Rogue River Valley orchardists. Only a small fraction of the planted pear acreage is in bearing. "Wlien the full 40,000 acres comes to maturity, many millions of dollars a year will find its way to the Rogue River Valley.

A SHORT while ago a canard was published asserting that Medford, just completing a half million dollar water system, was without fire protection, when over 2,000,000 gallons of water in the heights reservoir were available for emergency use. A second canard has been printed conveying the in sinuation that graft is rampant in the city administra tion because the monthly budget of bills was not printed. There is no reason whv thev should be printed. The lreroafPple- won sweepstakes prize jam(milt eamjd by laborerS Mid employes IS Of little inter est to any one outside those directly concerned. Salaries of officials are fixed by charter or ordinance. Other war rants are principally for supplies, most of them purchased I by contract. The city's books are open for the inspec tion of all, any any one having any desire to investigate can find out what is paid. Neither the Mail Tribune nor any other city newspaper prints the lists of city warrants, because there is not suffi cient news in them to justify it. Village papers sometimes print them as a source of village gossip. Here they would fill several columns that would otherwise be filled with readable news. If paid for publication, the list would be printed. But they have never, in Medford or elsewhere, been adjudged of sufficient importance either to be jninted as news or advertisement. Medford has as good a city government as any city of its size anywhere and as clean and free from graft. For home papers to publish falsehoods and groundless insinua tions of scandal is not a good way of advertising Medford. on the government steamer Arctic mitler scaled orders, has evidently been placated by a co!umisiou from the Canadian uovermnent to essay the northwest rmssnuc.
