Crater Lake Is one of the most wonderful sights I have over seen," said Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, last night on her return from tho lake. "1 am very glad to know that Congress has recently passed nn npnroiirlnOon look ing to tho construction of better roads Into tho Crater Laku National park. This wonderful thing should be made accessible to nil tho people. "Tho roads arj very good consid ering tho fact that littlo monoy has been expended on them, and tho ac commodations aro good when one considers that supplies have to be brought in from a long distance. Tho tlmo will como when all Ameri cans will inako pilgrimages to this wonderland for vacations and recrea tion. When Klamath Is better known among tho people, thero will bo thousands or tourists here." Mrs. Hearst and her party of four teen house guests, arrived in this city last night from a trip to Harrl- man Lotlgo and Crater Lake.

Hero Is tho way "Tama Jim" has it figured eut: '"ICorn crops control meat prices. This year's corn crop is tho third largest iu the history of tho country, This means tlint beef next winter Is going to bo tho cheapest In years." jSocretary Wilson does not bollevo that meat will over bo as cheap as Jt ,whs (en years ago because the gr?lng lands have been divided up hut' ho sava tho price of steaks and chops Ib duo for .a big tumble this con Winter when meat la most needed. 2 the town depended on their efforts.

To tho KMItori 1 havo your editorial of August 7th, entitled "Who's Loouciy Nowt" I see that you nguln hnyn'miulu tho mUtuko wldoh was mudo In l!)Qt of Btutlng that trtlRiitud the block of pears which Was Injured. I wish to roltorato that I hud iituuiliitoty noth ing to do with the Irrigation of thn block which ou refer to Iu a former editorial, Tho block which wna In jured was a large block of old troop, down near the packing house of thu Hoar Crcuk Orchard, Tim block which you nro now quoting, of cIrIiI year old trees wob up near tho build ings ami Is on entirely diffvreut soil, of different variety, etc. You will soo that yoi have confused tho two blocks of penrs. You will find for example, In your editorial In 1J09: "An example of somo of tholr work Is shown In one of the prlxo orchards nenr Medford, wIioru owner was per suaded to turn over n block of his greatest producers for p.xperlinentnl ptirpoeH, ole." You were referring at thnt tlmo to the largo block down near tho pack ing house which had been In bearing for yours and which I understand, probably produced us much fruit ns you stnto. However you will nut lco that you copied from Bulletin 113: "Tho practice of Irrigating young pear trees on either the red or gray sticky soils Is questionable. In somo experiments carried on with eight year old Bnrtlettn at the Bear Creek Orchard tho results showed no advantage gained in olthor tho amount or size, ote." You wilt note thnt this referred to young trees olght years old whereas tho block you wero referring to was ono which already hai produced ovor 11,000 worth of fruit por acre. The next tlmo I am at Medford. If you caro to, I can nrrango to drive you to tho Bear Creek orchard and show you the two blocks In ques tion so you need not confuse them In tho futuro.

This hue he encompasses the Rear Crock orchards, Prof. C. I. Lewis, mid the .writer, nil because he simply got his wires crossed. Justice to Prof. Lewis, in Re.tr Creek orchards; aiiiThoMor to mynolf makes it imperative upon uie to an swer this editorial. He hiiys, 4(In the summer of 10D!) some experiments were made iu irrigation on the Rear Creek orchards under the direction of Prof. C. I. Lewis which consisted iu pouring cold well-water on Rnrtlott pear trees winch chilled tint Irces, brought up the lime subsoil, killed thu crop, mid made the trees sick." To which Prof. Leu is published n denial iu the Tribune of May 'Jllth, 1010 mid at which time tho writer fully exhoiiernted Prof. Lewis. As Prof. Lewis bus now published n bulletin wherein he makes reference to experimental work dono by them on Rear Creek orchards during that year, the editor attempts to make out a bad case by placing us both in the "Ananias club" and winds up by usking, "Who is looney now?" mid wo unfiwer, Put, is. lie seems to overlook tiio fnct that Rear Creek orchards consists of over two hundred acres nnd that to admit of huvhiL' cxDcrimoiited on Roar Crek orchards docs not make them responsible for all that ,might have been done Ihcrc by way of experiment. The facts aro that thoy did experi ment upon a goodly number of young eight-year-old trees us stilted iu bulletin No. WW, as referred to by the, editor mid with results us given in the bulletin. ' This wils on gray, sticky soil op tho hill near the" bun galow mid no place clso did they carry on any experiments. Rut Iho tract to which tho editor refers was in black, slinky soil iu thu hoflom on trees oer twenty yours old which he says "had produced over $1(10(1.00 per acre" mid I will say that it did bettor than that that year, However, that experiment I did myself with unsatisfactory results, Prof. Lewis being in no way respon sible for it, neither luivo I at any lime or to any one laid tho responsibility ut his door. The effect was lo check tho growth of the pears which wero about two thirds or tlireo-fourJhH grown, but il did not kill tho. fruit as slated mid tho slnU'ineiit of Prof O'Gara recently published thnt "thoy" now havo the finest crop of pears oyer grown" nnd will produca ('ton. boxes to the tree" does not hear out tho assertion thai "thero will probably not bo any fruit on these trees for several years," an ututed by tho editor; ' Have You Seen the VEST POCKET KODAK and (lie PRIMOETTE JR.? 9 Tiotll HOW MEDFORD BOOK STORE SB Crater Lake Auto Line Car will leave Hotel Medford, for Crater Lake ut 8 a. m.
