( UNDER the caption "Getting Rich Quiok in Apples" Emerson Tlongh in the Saturday Evening Post dis cusses the nnnle. business in the northwest and summar ies the situation and prospects as they appear to him after a visit to all of the famous fruit districts. The article is fair, unbiased and impartial and contains much wholesome advice. It analyzes the situation trom a cold business and commercial view point. Emphasis U placed upon the failures rather than the successes and the evident object of the article is to 'puncture the apple boom'' by damning with faint praise. Altogether too mucn eastern money is coming west to suit the eastern banker. Like overf writer who discusses the subject of invest ments, Mr. Hough is ultra-conservative. Pessimism, rather than optniism colors his ink. The cloudy side of fruit raising is set forth at length, which perhaps, is well, as boom 'literature paints the other view altogether too al luringly. i If one followed the advice of these literary viewers, investigators nnd muck-rakers, the only, investments ever 1 made would be United States gold bonds.

There is too much chance. Stay in the rut, draw your one per cent interest and save your pennies is necessarily the advice showered upon the multitude by the wise acres Of journalism, lest some tool blame rue writer lor ms ov n foiiy. . . .... Emit raisinir.docs not differ much from other business in its MiinuiertMnl asnects. except that it is more allur ing. Brains, energy and capital are essential, as in all other kinds of business, more essential than in most other kinds of business. It has as all other forms of human en terprise have, its proportional percentage of successes, and of failures. It has its speculative sharks, its painstaking developers and its ne'er-do-wells.- Prosperity seems to have her permanent abode in sonic fruit groves and failure -penury and woo in others ad joining. It all depends upon, the personal equation. Some orchardists start with- scarcely a penny ana grauuau amass a comfortable income. Some begin with a com petence and end without a penny. Some nmkc itlieir or chards produce a living from the beginning and pay all expenses. Others buy all supplies with money from home, and are a constant expense to, papa. There is no life Jiioro attractive to the man of culture and rcfinmerit, than fruit raising, none that is freer or healthier, and none that, properly conducted, is more re munerative. It is truly the life ideal. But for this very reason,, it has attracted more incompetents from all walks of life that can be found in an ordinary vocation. More nnnnln rrail v embark in fruit raising, without experience, knowledge or common sense than in any other legitimate business and if a proportion fail as they have failed in other lines as they will fail in any other hie, the oc cupation is not to blame. . : , One concluson that can be drawn from Mr. Hough s article, is that the successful producing commercial or chard is worth more per acre than even the fancy prices MEDrOKD, ORSOOJt.

It would be ntthiK if the proposed Harrirann university could bo so locftted thnt- it would iu a measure typify the work of the late Mr. Harri man. The site is to be on the Pacific coast, and it was the three Pacific coast stale of Californin, Oregon and Neva da that were the scene of his largest railroad activities in the far west. It was notably in California nnd Oregon, that" huge percentages of traffic for bis lines originated, and it was for destinations in these 4- 't was lor destinations in incsc ' !-"-" " "--- J. .,..,, ln l. that large amounts of wct- J paid, for only a percentage ot trees planted prove to be ward tonnnge were bound. A , of the right vai'ieties, in the right soil, and have had site to geographically typify thcbo facts would be fitting in locating the university. If, at the point where- the three states join, a site should be undesirable, a compromise locution close to the border line of California and Oregon would symbolize tho idea. These two great states were for years huge factors in the life at' his enterprises. His high appreciation of both were tho frequent subjects of per sonal expre&bion by the great railroad magnate himself.- It was in one of these states that ho planned a summer home, tho delights of which were denied him by the early shortening of his career by death. The establishment now of a university conven ient to both states would per petuate tho very preference that must liuvo hud place in Mr. Uarrimun's own mind. f In this connection, the claims of Medford as u favor able location for the univer sity are impressive. It is near the border lino of what seems to have been two of Mr. IJur riman's fuorito states. It is within a few miles of the Cal ifornia line, nnd is in close proximity to all that is de lightful in nature. Mountttins, forests, rivers, vujley and all Unit go to nmko up a beauti ful prospect, ideal spot for siioli u purpose, and is well worth the consideration of Mrs.' Hurrinian who i6to en dow the university in memory of her luto husband. f t 4 f 4 .

Conclud ing Mr. Haugh saj-s: "One may repeat the general injunction of caution and deliberation. Above all, one should be sure that lie is going to like the- new country if he moves into it. The citv man sometimes longs for the grime and crime, the noise, hurry, bustle, confusion and" discomfort which he has left behind. If it is in him to love the white-topped mountans and the rushing waters they, in time, .will make up for him that which lie has losf. They will make a bet ter man and better citizen of him, perhaps. "Certainly valid and certainly useful is the general counsel for' caution in the purchase of any real estate. Bear in mind that the bargains are not all gone this year and will not be in the next year, in spite of the injunc, rinn Ut lmv nt once. Take, vour time about that part of it.- See the property on the ground; two or three visits will be better than one. Malce up your own mma as, t the expenses; and then, if you have nerve to multiply that estimate uy two, you are iuum apt lv uv muy-. . Jaws of commerce, of investment,. ofaverages, into partner ship with you. Use horse-sense and not wild-eyed enthu siasm. "These general words. of caution are .for the man or limited means. For the rich man, who can do as he likes, apple growing in the west is a pleasant occupation or diversion ,anu as such can m jnaue to pay iu way, vwy likely with profit additional. 'A great deal of Eastern and Middle-Western capital has gone into the apple business within the last few years As to its future, it seems safe if, viewed in the light of new and possibly changing con ditions, it can be gauged and governed by good business principles. As to its past, the record is not one of unbroken financial success. 'As to its present, it is the rich man's fad, the promoter's dream and the poor man's hope." - Tastily tlcctirnled Willi Iho senior class color of Hod and grey, palm and banks of rod roses the largo hid of tho Kntatorium is prepared foi tho graduating oxerciM's of tho cln of 111.1.
