A. Jordan, Sec.; Jane Gilbert, Treas.; Alta Naylor, protector; Sarah Jackson, guide; Ida Mitchell, guard; Purl Stephenson, sentinel ; George Jack son and William Mitchell, stewards.

The interstate Coannerco Com'mtsaion has ' fully considered the consolidation of the JTorthern Pacific and Oreat. North ern railroads, and authorizes the statement that the' merging of the properties will be : contested by ev try legal means at their command PTE In acoordiuice with notices published in these columns last week a meeting ol interested vegetable and fruit growers of the valley was held iu Medford olty hall ou Suiurdivy. The meeting, whioh was attended by about twenty farmers and orchardlsts, wh9 called to order by S. L. Bennett, the veteran enthusiast in all lines that will help the fanner, and Fort Hubbard was upou motion eleoted chairman and A. S. Bliton secretary. C H. iPleroe was introduced and by request gave an outline of the requirements of a vege table and fruit oannery. His talk was interesting and instructive and ' at its close a canvass amoug those present was made to asoertaln how muoh of an acreage of land would be planted the coming year to sweet corn and tomatoes. The result was that thirty odd acres of sweet corn and over ten of tomatoes were guaranteed. This amount would perhaps be suffiotent for a small can' oery, but as it Is a large one we want it was decided to appoint a committee of three to make a thorough canvass of the localities where these produota can be successfully grown aud to report at a meeting to be held on Saturday of this week. I. A. Merriman, W.S. Chap man and G. A. Hover were appointed on this committee. Among the points of Interest brought out at the meeting were the prloes to be paid for these products, the quality and kind and the probablo yield per acre. Mr. Pierce stated that he could afford to pay $S per ton for corn and 6 per ton for tomatoes. These prices leemed to be satisfactory to most of those in attendance and to some even more liberal than they had expected. It was estimated by those who had growo these products that three tons of corn and from ten to fifteen tons of tomatoes as an acre's yield would be very conservative. It is generally understood that If the product of 100 acres of corn and fifty acres of tomatoes ia guaranteed Mr. Pierce will associate other parties with him and put in a cannery plant which will have a capacity of at least 150,000 cans of corn and between 500,000 and 600,000 cans of tomatoes each season, and during the canning season 100 hands will be required to can this out put. These figures are approximated on the acreage given above. Aside from the vegetable canning there will be a considerable amount of fruit put up. The soliciting committee reported yesterday that they had oeen quite suc cessful and were very hopeful of secur ing the required acreage. It is espe cially desired that there be a full at tendance at the meeting on Saturday as there will many points come np for discussion which will be well for the prospective growers to become familiar with. Tax Levy for 1901. At the meeting of the county com missioners' court last week the tax levy for 1901 was made. It was the supposition that the rate would be lower than that of last year, but the raise in the state proportion of nearl t- iu,ouu irom $18,014.21 for 1900 to 128,103 for 1901 has made an increased levy for state purposes necessary. Fol lowing is the levy: Millx. stale tax 7.00 County school fund... 5 00 indigent soldiers' fund..... . .. ... .10 General county road l.li) General county fund.. 11. 80 State bounty fund.. 1.00 Total levy... ....28.00 The state this year requires $895,000 for general purposes and t25,0O0 for the agricultural college, a total of $920,000 This is $250,000 greater than las't year's revenue, and this sum will be taxed to the several counties under the ratio fixed by the act of the last legislature.
