Progress and prosperity harmonize
well with the enterprise and connd
once displayed by Hosebui'B citizens
111 the upbuilding of their beautilul
eity.
As nn evidence of the progress
md prosperity of Itoseburg one hat--
but to pay a visit into the residence
districls, which, at this time, pre
sent a busy scene with the expend
iture of fullv $f0,000 in improve

the hum of industry. Carpenters

ontemplation, together with the ex
tensive street paving, for which the
;ontrnct has already been let, and on
which work will soon begin, shows
only too well the permanency and
stability of the city and the abound
ing faith Hoseburg people have in its
future growth. The city from now
will, rank foremost among the
progressive and enterprising towns
along the Southern Pacillc between
Portland and San Francisco. And It
would not surprise the writer that
In the next live years Hoseburg
would leave and outclass all the nth
:ra in the race for supremacy and
rank ns a metropolitan cily with

PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 27. After
September lit, npplegrowers of this
state, ns well as of the entire North
west, will be required to pay a sharp
increase In freight rates to market
their apples In the east. The big
gest advances are made to points
west, of tho Missouri river, while for
freight to points east of the river
the increase Is slight.
Fruitgrowers are up In arms over
the proposed advance, but It is im
probable that they can accomplish
any Hi Ing by objecting to the new
rates. The rnilronit companies main
tain that the tariff charged on ap
ples to the east and middle west has
been entirely too low and that the
new figures are not inequitable. The
hdvnnce on apple shipments from
this territory ranges from 15 cents
to 25 cents per 100 pounds, depend
ing own) point ot shipment and des
tination. Advance of Per Out.
From Portland, the Willnmette val
ley nnd other Norlh Pacific coast ter
mlnnlH, the old rate was 80 cduts per
100 pounds, in carloads, to St, Paul.
Omaha, Colorado points, Chicago nnd
St. Louts. This rate will be raised
Sept. 13 to $1.
Citrlond Weight Is Raised.
Thnt Isn't all. The minimum
weight for mixed carload lots, when
npples are Included, has been raised
from 20.000 pounds to 24.000
pr.iimis. Hitherto, shippers hn
b.H-n permitted to mix apples with
o'her fruit commodities and bill at
the mixed fruit rate, wllh minimum
of 20,000 a car. Now apples can no
longer be Inserted In the cars as fll
erB. If there are any apples, the
shippers must make up 24.000
oounds actually or theoretically by
paying for it.
The Northwest Fruit Distributors
Association, at Fargo, N. IV, has wir
ed western growers and shippers that
a meeting will be held In St. Paul to
frame a protest ngnlnst the advance
In rates nnd asking thnt tho men in-
'eresled be represented nt tho meet-lug.
The raise in rates li, of course.
made by all railroads serving this
territory and it Is said by those in
terested In fostering tho fruit. Indus
try In this nnd neighboring states
that tho advance will bo a severe
blow to fruit men In this territory.
It Is held that the apple Industry Is
an importnnt one nnd needs foster
'ng but that the advance will put a
'evere handicap on growers of the
Northwest In competing with the
eastern orchnrdists. li is estimated
that orchardists of Oregon, Washing
Ion and Idaho were paid $14,000,
000 for last year's crop, so It can be
seen how Important' it Is to develop
this industry.
It Is believed that the advance of
over 15 cents on every hundred
pounds weight of fruit will tend to
discourage the growers and will re
tard the development of the Indus
try. It Is said that when the advance
In frleght rates Is learned In the
east, II will stop many from coming
'o this territory I" engago In fruitgrowing.
