Five Weeks En Route Still They Arrive In Good Shape and Attract Much Attention. Commissioner H. E. Dosch has written to Portland frieuds as fol lows : "The grains, grasses and fruits arrived here some two weeks ago, all in good condition. Contrary to expectation, the apples and pears came through in first-class order, notwithstanding they were five weeks en route in a freight car, ex posed, through that awful cold spell xma snows conclusively the su periority of Oregon fruits, provided they are properly handled and packed. These were wrapped in newspaper aud excelsior cn the sides and between, and not a blem ish or bruise was on any of them, The size, color and flavor were a revelation to most people here. As we could not expect to keep them long, I gave some to the newspaper -fraternity and distributed others "where they would do the most good. The Spilzenburgs were especially fine, Newtowns next, then Northern ' Spies. "Yesterday was one of the most delightful days I ever saw, even in favoiej Oregon. It was 'Colored day at the exposition, and the grounds were literally black with them. There are only 35,000 negroes . in Charleston. Here it is known in the south as 'Kiggertown.' .The other cities say that 'Charleston is owned by the Germans, run by the Irish and enjoyed by the 'niggers,' which is more truth tan poetry. The attendance is increasing. Horseraciog every afternoon is quite an attraction, with a $1000 purse each day. "A box of apples has just arrived from S. L. Bennett, of Medford They had been on the road since December 9, but were in good order. The express charges were $9.50. We counted 51 apples, which makes them cost 19 cents apiece." The following notice from the Evening Post, of Charleston, ex plains itself: "The Evening Post has received from Colonel H. E. Dosch, com missioner to the exposition from Oregon, several varieties of fine ap ples grown in his state. They are unusually large and of excellent flavor. The varieties are the Spitz enburgs, Northern Spy and Yellow Newtown Pippins, which are the principal export apples from Ore gon, as tbey stand ocean transporta tion well. "Oregon is famous for its fine ap ples, and hundreds of thousands of bushels are shipped ' every year. The apples that are on exhibition at the Oregon exhibit at the exposi tion grounds were shipped by freight more than five weeks ago. and tbey are as firm and sweet as the day they were shipped."

Former address, Buncom, Ore. ; tempo rary address, 722 Washington Btreet Seattle, Wash. F.oro Ibo Ulue Kartb, Minnesota, Itogtslor, G. H. Howlaud this week has a brief but interesting letter in the Register, written at Medford, Ore gon, December SO. It will be pe rused with pleasure by Mr. How- land's many old neighbors aud friends in this county. He writes: Through the columus of the Reg ister, I will keep my promise to old friends. The first question you would ask Do you like Oregon?" Yes, betttr than Minnesota. The other day when we read a letter from back there, and knew how cold you were having it, I said to my wife, I am glad we are not there. We have been here over one year and the climate is delightful. There has only been about twenty-five days tn that time that we have not seen the sun some time during the day Not much rain. When it does rain, it ' comes generally in the night. But little fog, always a little breeze but the wind never blows hard. Have some frosty nights, but does not get colder than 20 above and very seldom hotter than 90 above. This section is called the Rogue River Valley. It is about twenty- five miles long, and from four to- fifteen miles wide, with several smaller valleys leading into it. There are four towns, Ashland, Jacksonville, Central Point, and Medford, the latter about the cen ter, population 2500, eighteen years old. All kinds of cereals are raised here. Wheat on good land yields from thirty to forty bushels per acre price 50 cants. Oats sixty to 100 bushels per acre; price always 50 cents. Barley forty to seventy-five bushels per acre; price 50 cents Corn.'twenty-nve to forty bush per acre; always 50 cents. There is no giain shipped out. Hay is paying crop. There is wheat ha wild oat hay, there's volunteer and alfalfa the latter cutting four to six tons per acre, brings $8.00 to $12 00." I am selling now for $10 at' the barn. Fruit of almost every Kina, appies, pears ana prunes principally. There is one man who has 160 acres into apples and ne ciearea auove all exnenpps 130,000 this year. I know of an omer wno ciearea ?iuuu off six acres, then sold for $2400. He paid $1500 for it a year ago. Fruit farms sell well. An "eighty" gold for $15,000. C 1 , J i . several nunarea car loads are shipped from here every season ur timber there is a great supply in kinds and quality. There are great tracts of sugar pine in this country that will run from 5,000,- OOO to 10,000,000 to the quarter. This is worth $40 per thousand here on track. There are moun tains all around. There are a great many rich gold mines, the output being about $250,000 to the five banks in this valley, besides there is a great deal the banks do not handle. There are also copper, quicksilver, asphaltum and asbes tos, and coal and oil indications are good. They are being pros pected for. There are building stone and granite quarries. The stone for the United States nost- office, at Salem is being taken frcm this valley. I wish if there are any Blae Voters Must Again Register.
