BENEFITS accruing (o combinations of fruit growers are demonstrated by the average growers of Cali fornia, in this and other papers, advertisements of "Sunkisl" oranges have been run, thus creating new mar kets and stimulating the demand for the output of Cal ifornia orchards. The fruit exchanges are enabled to do this, where the individual growers would be helpless. The organization thus not only controls the picking, packing, shipment, routing and marketing ot J nut, but like every great pro ducer, creates markets for surplus output. The orchard is similar to the factory, and its manage ment should be along the same lines. Jn primitive indus trial times, a hundred little factories all made a hundred articles of the same kind, and cut each others throats, with the result that few of them paid. Today we see them Jill operated under n central i'cd control with uniformity in production and scientific economy in management nnd markefing. The apple and pear business will be on a firm basis when growers comprehend the necessity for combination and act accordingly. Not only local exchanges are neces sary, but a central exchange fo handle Ihe entire output is The crying need of Ihe future. The experience of Cali fornia, learned through years of failure and hardship, points the way, Today the New York and one or two other markets are glutted with northwestern apples. .In a thousand other markets, where they would find a ready sale, it is impossi ble to secure them. ISven in New York if thev were exten sively advertised, at fair prices, the surplus would disap pear. But the grower leaves it to the commission man, who leaves it to the market men, who is only interested in buying cheaply, and trusts to luck fo the apples selling themselves, and nothing is done fo stimulate the demand or create new markets. -And half the time the middlemen are in combination fo filch the producer and the grower is at the mercy of a manipulated market that systematical ly bears his product that the middlemen may profit by doing the work of distribution and marketing that tho growers themselves should do. The future of flu's valley largely depends upon the fu ture of its fruit, and flu's depends upon the progress made in the northwest in organising and maintaining effective fruit exchanges.

SOUTHERN PAC'IFKl tiftonipys nrc resist ing tlio rate l'ocluctions ordered for iMcdford and southern Ore gon by tho state railroad commission on the ground that the 20 per cent ordered is virtual conf'isca.tion.- In rdply, a startling array of statistics is produced by Commis sioner Campbell. Net earnings of the Southern Pacific, have increased 17!0 per cent in fourteen years. Operating revenues show a gain of "w per cent, and operating expenses only .'Ml per cent. Were southern Oregon alone considered, the ratio of increase would be shown much larger. During these years, the number of miles operated was (KSR-12 in 18JMJ arid i((.07 in 1909, an increase of almost 10 miles in 111 years. In 1 !)!(), 18 more miles were operated a 28-milo extension in 4 vears. Passenger receipts .pimped from $tJ2(J,SS-l to $'1162, 28!J or f)'J2 per cent, and freiuht revenues from 716.-MC to $'1,0()9,:181 or Kit) per cenh rPhe total income jumped from $l,f(M,:i22 to $8,()59,ni5, nearly half of which was profit. The commission shows that the western classification has been adopted and enforced on practically every rail road in Oregon oxcept the Southern Pacific,' and that its rates are based upon no established system, but upon its own sweet will. Experts state thai examination of the company's boolcs show tlmt the railroad charges till construction work to operation, which should not bo done, so that the net profit's are really larger than shown by the company's figures. . Were it not for the influence of the Portland jobbers and the railroad's fear of antagonizing thorn, and for the upon opposition ol these .jobbers to the efforts of Aledford 'to secure equitable reductions, it is dollars to doughnuts the Southern Paeilio would not contest reductions alreadv MAoiiiaoit's CHUIST.MAH sron.s i i(U rtui, which tire most lair to till concerned.
