The Mail has nearly doubled,
and while this increase is fully ap
vreciatpd.. we believe- we have
earned it. Our subscription list is
now nearly twiee as large as it was
whertwe took charge of the paper.
As the benefit to be derived froai
edvertiaing depends wholly upon
thewrc-uhuion a paper has t he in-

.TheMail in a fair way to" enter

enterprise has been, and' is now,
bur only aim. Without the assis
tanceof a town's people a newspa

that assistance the aim cannot he
marked too high. The people of
Medford have befriended this pper
in' both a moneyed way and by
speaking many kind words for it,
and-for all of which we are duly
grateful." We expect soon to be in
our new building and we will then
rnake such ether .improvements as
the occasion will warrant.
The large number of unaccount

Kogac River Valley FruiU
.When we say that the fruit crop of
tbe Rogue river valley thi siisott is
wonuerous in both o,uani,it.y-nd quali
ty, wo say but the one word, wht.eatette
of what is daily met by the eye's vision:
Fruit trees of aU description have been
taxed to-their greatest possible capucl-.
ty; the branches have been broken by
the great weight of fruit, the ground
in many instances is liiorullv covered
with fruit, which has fallen from the
trees- a:t-allowed to Tomai there
for t be want of means-to properly care
lor it. J.Bs mgnt is a strange one
to ;
the writer, who, for twelve ears hus '
fruit Would uc considered a luxurv and
only .to ba i-nj'iyed by thesut whose
purees -were weit weighted with gold
dollars. As wo notioo orchards of
younr trees, not taller than a man's
head, loadod, every branch, with rioe.
luscious fruit, a contrast b.;tveon this
seen ami tbj bleak prairie country of
the western middle states- passes
though our minds. Tho vision of the
evo is earned oacn to tne- country
wh.:re for -utiles and mirns ona may
travel witnout SJeiuyf a tree of a-uy kind
mujh less a fruit lro :md yet this
country is inhabited. Oitr vision is
drawn neirreranJ we s-o asain the Imun-
ties of thd fruit ciop of our valley.
Turn whioh ever way we will and the
eye is wet by fruit laden trees, the trees
varying' in aj;o f: om two to ton- years.
We sii-jaK to n citizan. pcrhaiw tho
owner of aa orchard, rejraniinjr his im-
mens3 crop. Hi replies, "yes. pretty
good crop," but he don't appreciate its
worth, ha has seen the same thing for
years. It is soniethtng lie nas grown
to DJivcvaacei taimv. It is t rie new com
er who fully enjoys this wonderous pro
duct. If tuo p.-ople of some of tho
eastern states could see these vast or
chards ol rich, ripe fruit this valley
entire would bi peopled likonnto the
suburbs of our large cities. But while
we are speaking of the fruit generally
let us give you a few figures.
Through tha courtesy of Station
Agent Lippincott we arj eHubljd to
give some correct figures. From Sep
tember 1st until the 20th of the same
month there were shipped 5Sti,44J
pounds of fruit, or a little nvre.
than twentv-nine carloads. Of this
amiunt saventeen carloads wore Burt-
letl pears and all these from the farms
of J. H. Stewart and Weeks & Orr.
The above amounts are only ihe gra-sn
fruitshipme.ntsof peaches, pears, pru i is
and very few early apples, the dried
fruit, of whieh there will be a large
amount, is not as yet being put on the
market. Aside from thrj figures given
is to be considered the vast amount of
latr fruits which are now being
gathered and packed for winter ship
ment and comprise mostly apples
with a few late pears. Jfj approxi
mate figures Ciu bj arrived at as to the
amount of fruit which is being dried,
but through tho kindness of those who
are runningdriers we hop-e to be able to
compute figures from this source,
which we opine will be much greater
than those above-given.

The Old Hoys Flay Jokes.
Follwin'is an account of someof the
.okes played during the soldiers' re
union: Comrads Duniap and Hill, of Ash
land, played a practical joke upon
Commander Stewart, by relieving that
gentleman of a box of nn Havana ci
gars, but suffice it to say, tho joko was
t trned, by one still more practical
wiien the boys found to their dismay,
as well as disgust, that soma sneak
thief had relieved them of their bur
den. -
But a still more practical joke was
played upon a poor, dumb fowl, which
origit.allv belonged to one J. S. How
ard, of Medford. The chick was happy
in blissful ignorance unli! tho wee Vina
hours of nightfall placed it into the
hands of some of the old comrads who
had not forgotten how to forage, y.-t
perhaps over thirty years have elapst-d
since tha boys had to skirmish for
something more than hard tack aud
army beans. This poor chicken was
taken to camp in tho old fashioned way
after the oflieers were supiosoJ to be
in dreamland soaring among the fan
cied fairies, but unluckily for the
chiekea fiends, tho rooster, which was
a hen that had been setting for four
months, let out an unearthly squack.
which put the whole camo in au up
roar, and brought instead defenders,
to its resene, a lot of huugrv. gleaming.
glaring eyes, to gloat upon its prey,
and a-nid cries from hungry umeu
and chrldren the poor old hen was torn
in pieces and devoured with a r-lish
hy those who were able to obtain a
piece, without salt or pepper, and one
of the comrads says it was not even
cooked;
The abore is only a relic of bygone
days of the army service. Comrade
Poe took a load of clwice melons to the
camp with the expectation of realizing
a snug little profit, but no sooner did
he appear in the camp wiih hi load
than did the old "Vets." women and
children, relieve him of his load and
even without compensation for the
same. "

Nothing was said, but further devclop-

of such a crime. If the guilty parly is
