Colo man, of Ashland, toward tho establish ment of a fruit ami vegetable cannery at some point in tho valley, and except for tho severe frost of Inst May wo should undoubtedly have made a start last year. That fruit aud vegetables of the finest flavor can bo had lu abun dance and to compote with other can norles I have novor doubted, the only serious drawbaok urged by my friends being that freight rates might be pro hibitive, under the liberal aud pro gressive direction of Mr, U. H. Mark- ham, general freight agent of the Ore gon lines, I do not fear this ooutiogenoy and hare been often assured by Mr. Narknam that bo would encourage this industry in every possible way, and that it was not the present policy of the company to let possible Industries at tho smaller points languish beoauso of a dosire to build up termiuals only Mr. Coleman has boon canning fruit and vegetables at Ashluud for tho post four years and so far ho has uevcr boon able to one half supply the local do maud, and has Lot been troubled about freight rates, nor does he tear the future in this respoot. I have earn plod peaches, poars, to matoes, sweet corn and string beans canned by Mr. Coleman and do not bo lieve his goods are surpassed in quality on this coast. His peaches and tomatoes have more than a local reputation and many people considor them equal to the very beat home canned. Mr. Colo- man's aim has always been to put up a little better goods than any competitor and he is extremely neat and careful in his work. Nor docs he stint in quantity, rather the reverse. The cans are all solid filled whether market re quiruments call for same or not and the syrups are rich and heavy "like your mother used to make." Mr. Cole man has a natural skill and ability in his line which coupled with a desire to give high value must surely win out. I regard him as able to undertake a pack of any size with certainty. He is also familiar with local soils and cli matic conditions, the markets and the people, 'and could start off with more assurance than an eastern expert prob ably could. We would propose to pack 100,000 cans the coming season, the bulk of the pack In the following order: Tomatoes, peaches, pears, blackberries, plums and apples. We should also can enough sweet corn, peas . and string beans to get them on the market with the expectation of making a large vege table pack ,tbe second year. Tomato catsup we expect to put up considerable of, and we shall work into jams, jellies, fruit butters, pickles, etc., as fast as possible. In order to keep running most of the year we shall try pumpkin and mince meat late in the fall, and may pack poi k and beans if yield and prices are right. We shall also be prepared to can strawberries any year when thore is sufficient crop, but we do not count on any regular supply. What first Induced me to first consider cannery proposition was the proba bility that sweet corn could be raised here in quantity and quality equal to the beBt eastern corn, and if such psoves the case our corn pock will eventually equal everything.else combined. There is a present demand In the Pacific northwest for three million cans of sweet corn annually and not a can-is packed west of- the Missouri river.-. For the most port it eoeses from Maine, New York and Iowa. Last spring I procured Hiokock Bad Early Crosby corn seed from. New York state can neries and bod- a little planted near Medford. Those who tasted It said it was the sweetest and best corn thsy ever ate. We expect peas and beans to be equally good in tbiasoll and climate.. We wish to-start right and not be handicapped by lack of capital now or later. We want to mako all provision in advance to-oan 100,000 cans the reav ing season, double that quantity toe second year, and from three to five hundred thousand cans the third year. The Salem cannery Ik reported to have canned 600,000. cans last year and to have had their pack all sold early in the season. Our proposition to the people of Med ford and vicinity Is to organize a $10,000 stock company, and Mr. Coleman and myself will take bait the stock it the balance Is Bubsoribed locally. We pro pose to call for fifty per cent only, to be paid up about May 16th, and in no event will there be a call for more than $6000 this year. Possibly we may not find it necessary to oml for payment of any additional the second year, but we wish it understood that wo shall prob ably call for the balance of forty o- fifty per cent to be paid up about May 15V 1W02. We expect to declare dividends from the start and regularly, and nothing that can be thought of for tho Rogue river valley is bound to bo a more cer tain paying invo3tmont than a cannery well conducted. We will employ about tbtrty hands the first season, but this should soon grow to employ 100 poreouB, SOME ONE HAS SAID A fehort horso is soon our riud. A short story is also soon told. Wo know that it is to your intorestto buy Dry Goods hero. We want YOU to know it. Tho bostwaywo can convinoo you is to givo you somo of our pricos for comparison with thoso you pay for tho samo goods elaowhoro. Come in and try us now. Wo intend to make this tho largest yoar's businoss this store has ever had. Come and bolp us gain space and we'll help you save money Respectfully, F. K. DEUEL & CO Not only would a cannery rollovo the glut whioh has always boon hure In a grade of fruit just below tho'grndo which will ulouo boar transportation east, but it would enable many people of modoruto moans to gut a good llvlug from three to tou-uuro tracts In small fruits and vegetables ui or Intensive cultivation. It will serve to gut our farmers out of wheat raising ami Into moro profitable lines. Wo have also a proposition Irom tho Ashland creamery to put in a skimming station hero If 2000 pouuds of milk can be depended on daily, with tho under standing that when our dairymen havo built up a sure supply of Bvo or six thousand pounds dally Mr. Perozzl will gladly join wltu us in putting In a creamery here. As wo will have abun dant power we could easily handle this and probably should if sulllclont putron ago oould be assured. While a cronm ery would bo of considerable bonolit to the farmers hereabouts, it would never employ moro than two or throe persons and In a striotly Industrial sonso would nevor benefit Medford as a cannery would. It should be a comparatively easy matter to get the balanco of the capital stock n'o"r!lvrl hero under terms wo offer, hi tt.uii.i as nmplo time is given to raise tho money. We do not wish or expuut any man to cramp or burden himself, nor should this bo necessary with the wealth and popula tion hereabouts. Besides, the ohanccs are all in favor of tho stock being a good paying Investment, and to Med ford will be worth five times what it will coat. Respectfully, Cn8. H. Pierce.

Ordered by court that semi-annual account of Alex Orme be approved and' alias warrant be issued by tho clerk di rected to said sheriff requiring him to collect the amount shown by said re port to be delinquent.
