It docs not nee.e.ssarii v follow that hi-
cause we print letters of endorsement i
regardiug our fruit that we regard our i
iruu .growers na alluded with an en
largement of the hut band, neither do
these growers desire those personal lau
dations placed to their personal credit
but instead they do desire that
Southern Orejjon, and particularly
the Uogue riyer valley, be given the
credit due. In conliriuation of what
we have many times siild regarding the
excellent fruit grown in this locality
wo )rlnt the following extracts from a
letter written to Hon. .1. II. Stewart
from Syobol it Day. salesmen for the
National Fruit Association of New York
City. The letter is in reply to the
arrival in that city of a carload of
Hourre Clairgeau pears, and is in sub
stance here giveu:
"Thin win a cur of nuiKtiitlccnt fruit perfect
ly beautiful, anil as hamlMoiue aa we ever
bandied : in fact, it excited the admiration of
every man on the wharf. The size, shape, color,
and packing could not lie improved upon. The
pears looked like they had been ninde to order.
You wired us not to sell for less than $1.75,
and we tell you frankly that we made up our
mlndx when we saw it to m you twenty-live
cents better, or elite not sell it. i-'ortunulely we
nan no oeavy imyers. who Bad orders from
Cuba and they bid against each other until, a
you ee. we KOt f-'JW-und to the dlkKUKl of
several other good buyers who wanted onio of
the fruit. Nothing like that we might say
has ever been seen here. We explained to our
people that it came from the unit party who
put up thoM.' mas:nillrenl llartletts we reoleved
a few weeks ago, which they all remembered
very well."
It will be seen by the above that
our valley is outranking all other
state's products in that great mart of
the world New York City. This fruit
was packed by Oregon packers, but
they were schooled in the art and
knew positively that each box must
lass a critical inspection before being
snipped nenco tno good results
Slew Plenty of Deer.
Alex. Ireland returned last week
with his hunting and pleasure party.
The party consisted of Dr. J. Patterson,
r rank Heck, a photographer, Henry
I'atUTson. a farmer, all of Visalia.
Calif.. Crit Tollman, of Ashland, and
Joe lielk, of Medford, and at the
front end of the party Alex. Ireland,
the irrepressible and indefatigable
mountain scout, hunter, and guide to
every deer trail or place of interest in
Southern Oregon. The party left
.Mouioni six wuetjs aco, sroinir ov wav
of the Illinois vallev onto the head
waters of Pistol river in DelNorte coun
ty. They had with them when thev
started twelve horses and four dogs
and upon returning six weeks later
they had eleven horses, four dogs, l'MO
HDunds of jerked venison and fifty pairs
of elk and doer horns. The object of
thp Irip, so far as the California parties
were concerned, was to have a rood
time and take photographs of the sev
eral places of interest which they vis
ited, and of the pictures they gathered
in just an even ono hundred and four
all of them different scenes. The trip
cost them about $700 but it wad worth
a thousand as they staled. If ever
there was a party fully satisiied that
they had received their money's worth
it was that trio from California. They
were so elated that after paying Mr.
Ireland at tht rate of $100 per month
for his time thev made him a present
of three or four mule" and horses and a
number of other articles peculiar to the
requirements of camp life. They prom
ised to come again another season and
to bring their friends with them.
Thero is no need of attempting to dis
guise the fact that Alex. Ireland is
one of the best guides that ever enter- I
ed the tall timbers of Southern Oregon.
He knows where the game is and how to
get it; when ho gets there. He is a
typical guide and scout and withall a
genial fellow for company. The jwtrly
gathered in four bear, five panthers,
three buck elk and sixty-live buck
deer.
Indicted A County Judge.
A Grants Pass telegram to the Port
land Oregonian, under date of Septem
ber Hth, has this: "Quite a sensation
was sprung today in court circles by an
indictment being returned by the

Si. Chiles with malfeasance in office.
The indictment was based on an infor

He does not deny having bought the
warrants, but claims to have done so i

home of Mrs. I .aura Bradley
scene of much merriment lat
was the
last Friday.
when a number of the lady's friends
gladly responded to her cordial irrita
tion "come out and spend the day."
The occasion was a farewell gathering
lo Miss Ida Uallowuy, who left the
following Monday for Portland, there
to remain for several months. Thosu
p ruse ut were A. .1 . Galloway, of Chi
cago, CI. W. Galloway, of Medford,
Mesdames Sutter, Theiss, Galloway,
liellinger. liennett. Magoon, Beck,
Heall, Mradley, West and the Misses
Ollie Itiiller. Kdith Day, Ida Galloway,
Mollie Bradley. Laura Bennett. Artie
Bennett, Geraldine Theiss and Master
Otto Bradley.
The early part of the day was occu
pied by social chat, good natured rep
artee, a dash of harmless gossip: and j
the summons to dinner unceremoni
ously cut siiort an animated discussion
relation to equal rights. After being
duly seated, we.as ladies, demonstrated
our perfect equality of rights ou this
particular occasiou. beateu at a tabic
loaded with all the delicate viands that
a skillful housewife in league with
Dame Nature could produce, surround
ed by happy hearts and merry faces,
what cared we for the vexing questions
of right and wrong.
Later, a stroll on the lawn was inter
rupted by the sound of the piano, fol
lowed by the sweet and cultivated voice
of Miss Ollie Butler. Next came Mrs.
Belliuger, who has a clear, strong
voice and sings well. Mr?. Theiss
being called for, responded with the
ever sweet "Annie Laurie."'
A recitation by Miss Butler proved
her an accomplished elocutionist. In
strumental selections by Mollio Brad
ley and laura liennett, were well exe
cuted indeed for such young ladies.
The pleasures of the day were greatly
enhanced by the wit and wisdom of the
courtly visitor from Chicago, who.
although an octogenarian, would put
to shame the average man of half that
age. As night approached, we reluct
antly pressed the hand of the gentle
hostess in farewell; all heartily agree
ing that we had experienced
an
AWFfLLY good time.

Opening of the Business College.
The Mi;dford Business college held
its opening exercises at the college
hall on Saturday evening of lat week.
There were fully three hundnd people
present. The program was broken
somewhat by the illness of Mrs. Dora
Lynch, who was to deliver the address
of welcome. There were several others
whose names appeared on the program,
who were ill and unabie to be present,
but there were Others there who well
filled the vacancies.
The address of welcome delivered by
Prof. M. K. Uigby was short but good.
Prof. M.illick, of Ytvka. Calif., who is
one of tne principal teachers in
the college this year, delivered an ad
dress, dwelling chiefly upon school sub
jects and a business education. He
proved himself to be an able scholar
and an excellent speaker. The address
by Attorney S. S. Penlz was quite
lengthy but very interesting. He said
at the opening: "I hope I cau interest
you as well as myself." The gentle
man succeeded admirably in interesting
his hearers, as was evidenced by the
many kindly expressions heard. As to
how he aud Mr. Pent stand on the sub
ject we are unable to state. liev. E.
Huss delivered an address which was
short, plain and substantial. The
closing address was delivered bv Prof.
M. K. Higby and closed with a short
talk to students. The Ashland ladies"
quartet, composed of Miss Carrie
Uojter. Mrs. Crisman and the Misses
Silsby proved to be a favorite, singing
four selections. Messrs. Bnulbury aud
Ho-vs-er rendered three instrumental
and one vocal selectiou which were ex
cellent aud fully appreciated. The ex
ercises closed with the singing of
America. ' 1
Prof. Higby informed yonr. reporter !
that the college is now standing uHna ;
more substantial footing than ever be- j
fore and that a school' year move pro-.
mising than ever beore is now fairly
commenced. He also stales that there!
would be a lecture at tne co'.lego hall j
on Monday and Friday evenings of each '
week, ami to which all our eiluens are 1
invited. ;
