In a pel aee in or near Medford the exigen cies of businesH may install Potter Palmer 111., grandson of the one-.' great merchant prince and of Mr... Jlcrlliu llonoro Palmer, the first wo man of Chici.gn. The Palmer family, guided by he shrewd judgment of Mrs. Palmer, ban invested many hundreds of thou sands of dollars in Chicago realty. As if ihe desired limit had beep reached in that direction, Ihe Pui mer attention is now turning to furuiH and orchards. Iitjivy pur chases have been made in Flornh where oranges and other products will be cultivated. Hut of still great er interest lo Chicago is the iniineine pear orchard projected by the Pal mers in the Ilogue Hiver valley. Thi interest rises partly from the fact (hut other wealthy Chicagoaiis have discovered this "land of opportunity" and have acted on the discovery in the most practical way possible. Ilouore Palmer, eldest sou of Mrs. Totter Talmer, was the scout who fared forth a few years ago to look upon the lands round about Medfo.-d and (o report back his findings. He dreamed of apples as the king of treasure to be taken from this val Jev. Mrs. Palmer followed, discussed tlie country potentially with those who, know and finally made up h.r mind that poar.-i instead of apples should be the Palmer care. She foresaw things in a large wav and entered with enlhusiaMn into the en terprise of rearing the greatest pear orchard in the world. In coiihi iucuce lf00 acres of bind on either side of the Kogiio river are to be de voted to pear culture. On one of the foothills, placed Isiutlng variolic counties In holding their fairs, wns presented In the house yesterday by Kepresontatlvo Bryant of Multnomah. - It has the ondorse-i niont of the live stock Interests. The bill gives tho power to tho county court to appropriate f 2000 for tho purpose of holding an agricultu ral fair and also empowers tho courts to appoint a superintendent. Provi sion Is iiiuilo for the formation of a district by any two counties for the purposo of holding a fair. Of the $2000 appropriated by each county, nt least two-thirds must he used for meduli: and vnrds as prizes for the bom display of live stock or agilcul tural products. No portion of the ap propriation may bo used as prizes In speed contests of any kind. Several hills have already been pre sented asking state aid for county fairs. Ono of these, nuking for $1000 for tho Yamhill county fair, was re ported favorably with the ainendinont that the county contribute a like sum. The bill was then referred to the ways and means committee. Action upon this and similar requests will he probably deferred until the fate of the Bryant bill Is known. MODIFICATION UNLIKELY. (Continued from Pag ! them -at least $100,000. Of course tho committee will not very gladly do anything of the kind, because there Is a pile of monoy being asked for from everywhere, and yet, some thing will he done for Astoria. WHEELING, W.
