Here the moal was spread in the grove, to which we marched, led by band. A feast equal to that of the morning was served, all products of that fertile Rogue river valley. Speeches followed, as at Ashland, This is one of the many picturesque and productive valleys of Oregon. It has extensive gold mines and is as much of a fruit country as it is grain country. While berries are grown suooessfully, peaobes and apples are the main fruit products. A peach orchard of 100 acres near Medford recently sold for $20,000. The orop seems to be a success, but an unreliable eastern market must be depended on largely and it varies from thirty to fifty cents per box In two years. If the crop in Cali fornia and the east is good, Oregon peaches give little profit as a rule. Grain farming seems to be a success in the valley. An Iowa man told me he raised an average of twenty to twenty-five bushels wheat per acre. He raised some corn but it is not like the Iowa corn. He says he don't make any more money than he did in Iowa, but makes a living, has an ideal climate the year round, has plenty of fruit, works only half as bard as he did in Iowa and is perfectly satisfied. He values bis farm at 925 per acre. At Medford, I was pleased to meet Julius Meeker and his oldest son, W. H. Meeker, both of whom farmed near Mocre ville many years. They are related to the Meekers and others now in Geneoeo township. They are run mug a s ore in Medford and say tbey would not. return to Iowa un der any circumstances. Like other Oregonians they virtually admit that the climate is the strongest argument in their favor. There is no question but that this is near the ideal. They have less rain in . .v lu r lm. winter than northern Oregon, while the thermometer goes but little lower. In summer it reaohes 100 but once in four or five year. They have no winds, merely a gentle breeze." Soring trucks for spring house hold moving. Wells Shearer. Superior job printing, HAIL office.

Editor Mail: I saw In the last issue of This Mail an article from: . the Albany Herald, headed, "A Moral Deadfall." What a broad meaning those words, "moral dead" fall," carry with them. It was re-' ferring to the young generation roaming the streets at night. In . my opinion too muoh cannot' be; said upon that subject. There is a growing tendenoy -oa tne part or parents to give their children too much leeway, and the result is thnt tbe coming generation will lead a taster life and will be loosdr in their morals. Twenty-five years ago it was the exception -te see girls of sixteen have beaux, and it was tne rale that children were), kept at home evenings unless the rutrflnrjl wnrit avitri ctiAm Nat it tar i - - " -- - the rule that parents do not kuovr where their children are or what kind of company they are keeping;. It is a common occurrence now to) see girls not over ten years of agw out on the streets as late as 11 or . 12 o'clock at night with young mem or boys, and also in places whiohr if their parents knew what they were doing and where they were, would open their eyes to tbe danger of their children's future. As to the children baying mora liberty than they need to, it is a fact that cannot be denied. There are very few children who have the respect for their parents that the children of twenty-five years ago had, and tbey do not obey as well. Now if a parent makes his children; obey, tbe neighbors will say; "Why . are you so strict with your children? You ought to let them enjoy them selves." I say it is better to keep the children at home where we know what they are doing, and not have them bring disgrace upon themselves and their parents. Keep them at home in the evenings; give them something -1 amuse them, t i r . i . . msu Home attractive lor tnem, ana tbey will not want to go away from home for amusement. If you have done your duty by them and kept them from going astray until they have reached the age of maturity, you are not responsible for them after that. This article is meant to be gen eral and not to apply to any one place, as I find but very little differ ence in my travels over the differ ent states. Yours respectfully, : Chief Patterson; Klamath Falls, Ore. Card of Thaaks.
