Mr. Stratton expects to mako his homp on tho placo and will nt onco commence tho erection of a modern bungalow. , Look for tho losor of tho articles you hove found for a prompt ud may snvo him a lot of worry. A X 'ARTICLE in tho August number of Bottor Fruit r' .relative to the packing of fruit contains some state ments which certainly need correction. Tho sentence "Most of tho pears are poor keepers, and relatively short lived, ahd mature at a season of tho year when it is imper ative that they have fairly rapid handling," is too general a statement and is so misleading that no practical horti culturist would make it. Tho article in question deals with the packing and handling of fruits in the Pacific northwest, and certainly when it comes to the growing of pears it is recognized that southern Oregon, and especially the Rogue River valley, is the great northwest pear dis trict. A statement, therefore, which would put most of our pears m the class of poor keepers, is not only unjust to our fruitgrowers, but to the institution from which this statement emanates. It is a well known fact that most of our pears are good keepers, and are not so perishable as the author of the article would have us bclicvt. As a matter of fact, even our IBartlctts, which arc not considered as amonir the best beepers, have been kept in local storage until tho holidays. But we do not wish to "blow our own horn"; wo will simply snow by tho following statement what disinterested per sons havo to sa.v in regard to our peal's. A letter from Pro fessor G. II. Powell, acting qhief of bureau and in charge of pre-cooling and storage experiments for the "United J States department of agriculture, addressed to Mr. O. 13. Whisler, Medford, Oregon, under date oi June 14th, 1910, nas tins xo say: "You arc correct in supposing that the pears sent to us for storage experiments 'have passed to tho Great Be yond, but it was only the 25th of May that wo turned off - last one. A report on them should have been made im mediately after that date, but it has been overlooked in nv rush of work. Ave thank you for calling our attention to this matter. "In order to give jou in the most concise form tho full est report possible on this fruit, I am sending you copies ot nur notes made on the same. The irmt was stored with the Merchants7 Refrigerating company of Jersey City, N. J., at a temperature of 32 degrees, and unless otherwise specified, inspections were made at the storage house. At tho time of several oCIhe later inspections it wis imprac ticable to inspect tlie fruit at Jersey City, and some of the boxes were withdrawn and forwarded here (Washington). "As iniglit bo expected of the three lots oi Bartletts, the one stored at the earliest date, August 31st, held for a longer peripd than the others. In fact, the third lot, stored on September 17. was in practicallv the same con- ditiori October 2 as the lot stored August 31. "The final inspection of Buerre d7Anjou was made February 5jthr when the fru.it was in prime condition for Jimihediate consumption. This inspection was made here ana tlie fruit was held in a warm office for five days long- erf when it was still in prime condition and of fine qual ity. Some of the spots which had been bruised in express shipments had begun to soften somewhat. At this time the fruit was distributed about some of the bureau offices and was greatly appreciated by all. "Tlie last two boxes of Bosc were forwarded to this office April 5th -when the fruit was still in fair condition, the flesh being quite firm, only slight shriveling being no ticeable. One box was lininpdiately sent to Center Market cold storage and was held there at a temperature of 32 degrees until May 25th. TJie only change noticeable after this later period of storage was a slight increase in decay and the appearance of scald on a few of the fruits. The other box, which was forwarded here April 5th, was held in a warm office eight days when the fruit was past its commercial season, soft spots, having appeared, and prac tically all of the fruit on the outside layers of the box be ing shriveled, especially around the stems. The inspection of a box of Claircreau forwarded here from Jersey City February 5th showed the fruit to be still firm and green and not j'etat the limit of its commercial holding. Owing to the press or other business, wq were unable to make anotner inspection ot tins fruit until April oth. A great share ot it was still hard and green, but considerable de cay was showing, some mold was on the stems and slight shriveling of the slrin. , 'At the inspection of February 5th tho boxes of Co mice wero in about the same condition as Clairgeau except that thpy were higher colored and more nearly ripe. No further inspection of this fruit was made until August 5rji, when fruit from a box forwarded here from Jersey City showed up fair jn quality, but otherwise was in good con dition, no shriveling or scald being present and only vqry slight decay being found in a few bruised spots. As. a whole this fruit showed up to very good advantage, and from our standpoint wc consider the results obtained to amply justify the experiment." It must be understood that all the above fruits which Professor Powell experimented with wero taken i'roiji commercial shipments handled in the ordinary way. There was no pre-cooling, nor was the treatment otherwise than the ordinary care" given fruit by the ayeragc orchardjst in uiu vauey. j. gianco at; tno nates wnen these peal's were taken from storage will show that the ability of our Rogue River pears to stand, up in storage is quite equal to that of most of the red varieties of apple's grown in tho Pacific northwest. As ,a, matter of fact, apples ot tho red varieties grown in sections north of tliis district have lit tle lead, if any, over our pears, so far as keeping qualities are concerned. We really do not understand how the author of the article referred to cpuld have so misstated tho facts unless FUMES DAMAGE GOLD KILL NEWS Heroic Measures Employed by Editor Lampman Checks Firo Before It Docs a Great Deal of Dnmo to Plant.

In n recent issue of your daily edi tion of tho Mail Tribune 1 notice I am quoted n Haying that I hao no in tention of enforcing the fishing laws ot tho state of Oregon as applied to Rogue river. I desire to sny that you linvo dono me n great injustice 'n the making of this statement, man much ns I never have mailo any such nsHcrtion, nml nny misguided pnrty, who has ipiotcd mo :h making the snme, certainly is incapable of under standing the English language. I have never refuted to prosecute any case which wns brought under any criminal stnlute of the state of Oregon and havo mado uo exception to this rule in prosecutions under the fish nnd jjnmo laws. I desire to state further that every time Mr. Sundry hns reported u case to me of n viola tion of tho fishing laws, 1 havo promptly cnttcd n complaint to be Issued and u prosecution to follow in iireoniiincc therewith in the loe-il courts. Kvcry eomplnint, wldel, Mr. Sundry bus filed, has been followed by n conviction and sentence by the court. Ah nn attorney at law nnd a den lity district attorney for the firt prosecuting attorney district, I ap preciate very fully the imoprtnnce of u strict prosecution of the violation of nny law existing on tho statute books of tho stnto of Oregon nnd the evil cricet on tho body politic, which the wipjwrt of the lawlessness en genders. It is not only my duty, but my desire, to see (hut tho violntion of nny criininnl ,w of tho stnto of Oregon i promptly ptoRceulcd nnd punished. A Private Think. Ah nil individual citizen I have mv opinion concerning the justice or the fishing laws as they apply to Rogue river, and have never hesitated to say nor do J hesitate now to make public, my belief that the dosing of uoguo mor to 4-ommoruiul fishing has been a great injustice to (Irnnts 1'ass mid its surrounding territory, and that no good and valid reason can bo shown for tho passage of the law so olosing lliis stream. I believe that Uiu passage of (ho law w.ns prompted by petit malice nnd ioal- ousy nmHbat n broad spirit of com ity exmting between tho people pi the different sections of the slate of Oregon would havo prevented the passage- of such a law. However, inasmuch n thn said Inn; Iras been passed and is noiv ono of the criminal statutes of the slate of Oregon, I shall use every effort H-itliJ in my power to oiilurvu the sumo and shall prosecute nny violations of the same, which nro repot led to (ho dis trict ntloriioy'H ofl'ico in Josephine county. Mr. Sundry nnd his nsHmd ato game wardens und water builif's will receive just ns fair a consider i- tion within this county us liko offi eorrf receive in nny other county of tho stnto.
