THE ADVANTAGES OF A FRUIT CANNERY. -i A Brief Summary of Facts Relating to the Oreat ; Rogue River ValleyWhat, Where and How It : Is Its Products Its Necessities, Principal Among Which Is a Fruit Cannery. - BY 0. A. Meopokd, Ore., Feb. 7, 1899. EiMTon Mail, Dear Sir: An item appeared in an issue of Tim Mail of February 8d which attracted my attention, regarding the ohanceu of establishing a canner in Medford by a Willamette valley parly. Some one has said that to judge of" the intelligence of a people one must view their schools and churches and publio roads, and it might have been added that to judge of their prosperity one must view their factories and machine shops. The Rogue river valley occupies the central portion of Jackson County, and is about 85 miles long by 20 miles wide. It takes its name from the river which flows through its northern extremes, though .Bear creek drains the greater portion of the Rogue river 'valley proper. Little Butte creek and Sam's creek form considerable additions to the main valley by their contiguous territory. All of . these streams empty into the main river within a few miles of each other. Medford, Ashland, Central Point, Jackson ville, Phoenix, Talent, Eagle Point and Gold ' Hill are the principal towns in the valley. Rogue river valley is next to the Willamette in extent on the west side of the Cascades, and is nearly two-thirds as large as the state of Rhode Island. Its soil is composed of the successive denudations of the surrounding mountains, and as they are the product of widely distributed geological eras,' it is often found that several kinds of soil are de posited within a limited area, mak ing diversified farming easy and profitable. Lying contiguous to California and having its climate tempered by the warm ocean breeze, laden with moisture, it is especially favored as a locality for the most perfect flavbring and ripening of fruits. In this, Rogue river valley will always excel.. On the' gentle slopes of the surrounding hills thou sands of acres can be put into vine yards and choice' fruits, while "on the low bottom lands anything and everything grown in a semi or sub' tropical climate can be produced. Vegetables of all. kinds generally used for canning,; such as beans, peas, tomatoes and corn, grow here in great abundanoe, either with or without irrigation. The fruit industry of Jackson County, in its variety and extent,' iB of no mean importance viewed from a commercial standpoint, and yet it may be said to be in its in fancy. The future commercial poesi bilities of the fruit trade of the val ley are full of promise, and in the light of the increase of the last few years justify the most sanguine ex pectations. Shipping, canning and evaporating fruit are discoveries of today,', a'nd when an opportunity presents itself,; like the one men tioned above, to secure a cannery, the good people of Medford and vi oinity should give prompt and sub stantial support, it it is necessary, to seoure it.. ; At the present time there are, within a radius of 12 miles of Med ford, about 4000 acres of bearing fruit trees, to say nothing of the young orohards just coming into bearing ; and it may be safe to say that fully one-fourth of all the fruit grown on these vast orohards goes to waste eaoh year for the want of a cannery to work it up. By thus working up a large amount of eur- NO. BEAVER. plus fruit, to say nothing of the large quantities of vegetables that would be disposed of by the ranch ers, hundreds of dollars would be saved annually to the good people of the finest valley on. the Pacific coast, all things considered.. It is not so wet and cold ac the Willam ette valley and Washington, nor so dry and parched as California. ' It ocoupies a happy medium and as fast as people become acquainted with these natural climatic advan tages, they become enthusiastic in its praise and settle ' among ns permanently. Society having be come, as it were, crystallized'into a refined state, is attracting the better class from the East, to make their homes here and aid us further in building up-a name and fame for the Rogue River Valley, which it has so long and justly earned the Italy of the United States.

To effectively' stop a heavily loaded train in a minimum distance, is one of the details that railway magnates have asstdiously sought. An apparatus made for this purpose has been invented by four Eugene men, and experiment? with thn model show it to be suc cessful in accord'with every expec tation of the .inventors. Messrs. James Randle, F. L. Gilmun, 0. Lenette and S. Houser are the in ventors and are iron workers and wood workers. The principle of their new device, tor which application tor a patent has already been made, is very simple. The action of the brake is controlled by a series of small wheels or rollers, held away from the wheels when not in use. When used the rollers touch the large wheels of the car and the track at the same time. This gives double the resistance surface of the car on the track. The rollers coming in contact with the car wheels causes four out of the eight to revolve in reverse order. The iuventors are very sanguine of the success of their .invention and as soon a letters patent ar'e issued will be in a position to place the same before the large rail trans portation companies. .

The new cable which has been laid across the Atlantic weighs 650 pounds to the mile. This is the largest of all the cables. ; France has voted $13,200,000 for a new artilery equipment of the army and : is eager to appropiate $80,000,000 for its navy. Only 70 years have elapsed since the first railway in the world was finished. During that compara tively brief period of time our hun dred thousand miles have been constructed. - 1 ' ' The Brooklyn Eagle puts the case in this terse form : "Expansion is evolution.'' Evolution is destiny. Destiny is duty, and. Expansion, is all of them."

It, shows that Mr. Hawley spent no . money except for postage, and that -less than $3 was spent for that. . In this country there are 12)00,- t , 000, at least, of men striving to be- . come rich. Out of them barely . 5000 accumulate in their lifetime as much bb $1,000,000, not 10,000 as much as $500,000 and barely ; 100,000 the modest fortune of $100,- v 000.
