mi, Olwtll Discusses the Frult-
Q rowers' Union.
John D. Olwcll, one ot tho owners
of the famous Olwell orchard, four
miles north ot Modford, and which by
Hie-way la one of the largest apple or
crhards on the Pacific coast, and for
ibat matter in the (Julted Slates, was
in .this city Tuesday. Speaking of the
proposed fruit-growers' uuiou, which
is being talked of by the fruit men of
tbls valley, Mr. Olwell stated to a repre
sentative ot Tub Mail that he thought
ijiat in the matter of marketing fruit a
anion would be of little assistance to
tlie growers who have from ten
tt forty, or more, carloads of fruit to
ship, but to those having small quanti
ties, and who are compelled to sell to
Seal buyers, a union would be an ad
mintage to them. Especially so would
a anion bo to pench and berry growers,
-who usually have small quantities to
aaaiket, and whoso fruit is of a perish
able nature and has to be rushed to a
market. To snch parsons a union would
doable them to secure better prices,
through pooling their crop and readi
ng, a distant market, but to the apple
growers, at least those who have large
quantities, a union would not be of
much advantage, for their crop Is not
perishable at once, but can be held for
months uutil it is convenient to ship.
Bt other ways Mr. Olwell thought a
union would be of considerable benefit
to all the fruit men of the valley. The
present laws for the suppression of fruit
pests he considered iuadequate, and it
would require a united effort by all the
fi-uit men to get the legislature to make
fte necessary changes to the law. A
onion could do much toward enforcing
tihe present fruit pest laws, and thus
prevent careless farmers and town resi
dents from allowing their fruit trees to
Secomo a nursery for the propagation
of pests that would swarm out and over
ran the orchards of those who try to
Iteep their trees clean and healthy.
Sir. Olwell wished it distinctly under
stood that he was not opposed to the
Suit men getting together for their
mutual interests, or that he even de
aired to discourage the effort to organize
a union. On the contrary he was will
ing and anxious to do all that he could
to push the fruit business of Jackson
Sounty, and to make it possible for the
growers to maintain the high quality
Mid splendid repntation that their fruit
ow has, and also secure to them the
3est prices that t e markets of the
orId can aflord.

Crater Lake will be visited by
many people from abroad this year,
and they wit! naturally want
know 6ometbinK of the ways and
menus of getting there.
The best and nearest point on
the railroad from which to start
Medford. This citv is 79 miles
from Crater Lake and tho road
the bast of any leading from the
valley. Transportation may be ob
tained at reasonable rates from
either of the three livery stables
town or from private parties.
Besides tue laso there are nu
merous points of interest along the
route, ar.d from the time the uioun
tains proper are reached to the lake
is almost a continuous stretch
beautiful scenerv.
You leave Medford in the early
morning, while the sun is just gild
ing the suow clad summit of Mt
Pitt and for several-hours travel
through the smiling Rogue liver
valley, past orchards bending bi
neath their loads of fruit, golden
grain fields and green pastures, to
the foot of the Cascades. Then be
gins the steady up.vard climb,
through mighty forests of pine and
nr and along frowning precipices
overhanging R igue river, until at a
distance of fifty miles from Medford
the falls of Rogue river are reached
Here the river takes a plunge of
nearlv 100 feet over a succession of
cataracts, between almost perpen
dicular walls of rock. From this
p.int a good trail leads down the
river about half a mile, thence down
the steep blufl and brings one out
at the foot of Mill creek falls, one
of the most beautiful eights on -the
road.
Standing at the water's edge you
look upward to where Mill creek
leaps bodily from the summit of
the cliff and dashes itself into spray
on the rocks, 110 feet below. This
sight alone is worth the trip.
From Prospect, two miles further
on, to Union creek, twelve miles,
one passes through one of the most
magnificent forests of yellow fir
and sugar pine on the coast.
A snwt distance before coming
to Union creek, a road turning
the left will lead you to R-igue
river again, and a short walk down
it Drmga you to what is known as
the "natural bridge." This is
bridge of r- ck which is covered only
at high water and can be easily
crossed with horses. The river
flows under it, and the stranger is
at first surprised to notica that be
low the bridge the water is dead,
the current rather setting upstream
than otherwise. Crofs the bridge
and walk 1-50 yards down the bank
and you will see the whole, river
rushing from the base of the per
pendicular wall of lava forming the
opposite bank and at a right aa-le
to the former coutse.
For two miles above this place
the river forms a constant succes
sion of scenes of picturesque beauty.
Now roating through a narrow
gorge, which one could almost leap
across, now widening out into a
lacid stream, murmuring sfcftly
over the sands v hicb forms its bed.
From Union creek a sixteen mile
drive brings you to Castle creek
fl it at the foot of the peak which
contains Crater Lake. Here is the
main camping place for parties vis
iting the lake, ' there being abun
dant feed for horses and pure moun
tiin water.
Vehicles may be driven to the
very rim of the lake although the
road is rather rough and steep, in
one or two places is a little more
than straight up hangs over a lit
tle.
Now the writer will have to give
it up. Wo pen can adequately de

The traveler now has the choice
of two routes by which to return.
He can eithor return the way ho
came, or continue on down Annie
cteek canyon, nround by Pe'.ioan Bay
and over the Dead Indian rond to
the valley. The latter route, espec
ially the Dead Indian road ib much
rougher than the Rogue river road,
and considerably longer, although
there are some interesting places to
visit along the route.
Which ever way you return, how
ever, the start should be made from
Mod lord. It is the shortest route
to the lake, over the best r.iad lend
ing thereto, and ail conveniences,
transportation, etc., may be pro
cured at reasonable rates in this
city. If you visit Crater Lake this
season, start from Medford.

the accident Mr. Magruilor was driving
along the rond with his team and wagon,
having his mowing machine tied behind.
Coming to a place whore there was a
sudden descent in the road with a quick
raise bevond, tho machine, which was
tied by a rope to the hind axletreeof the
wagon, with the ond ot tho tongue rest

fell it was onto the hard mud, and being
a heavy man, weighing about 900 pounds,
the shock he received was a terrific one
nod it so hurt him internally that he
lieeume vory siek and was unable to
walk. He held to the lines and kept the
team from running away and alter re
covering his strength he drugged him
self to the mowing machine and eat
down upon the trauie and remained
there for an hour and a hull, being uu
able to move or roll lor help. At the
end of that time Win. Iviueald came
along and found Mr. Mugruder and n
few minutes later Frank Gregory eame

wagon and took him home. Pr. Kirch-ji-rsncr

bones were broken, but that he wui
badly hurt intui'nully, though he had
hopes of his recovery. Later on Mr.
Magruder growing worseDr. Picket was
called In consultation, (Ten the two
doctors deeided that there was scarce a
hope for the patient's recovery. Mr.
Magruder lingered lu great agony until
Sunday at 11 :4o a. in., w hen he passed
away. He was fully conscious to within
a short time of his death and made all
arrangements for the disposition of his
propurty, and bade an affectionate good-
hyu to his wife and children, bidding bis
liors to be loyal to their mother in her
old age aud to care for their sisters.
The funeral services took place .Mon
day at 3 p. m. at the family residence,
under the auspices of Banner Lodge, No.
3, of Jacksonville, and Table Rock
Lodge, No. 31, A. O. U. W of which or

sermon was delivered by Rev. Merley,
of Medford, whose fitting words gave
courage aud rest to tho family and ex
pressed the deep ympnlhy the friends
have for them in their hour ol bereave
ment. At the cemetery the Workmen
conducted the last rites in the simple,
yet impressive mauner that pertains to
thlr burial services. Grand Master
Workman Wui.M. Colvig was in chaige
of the exercises and in bis address he
paid a high tribute to the honesty, gen
erosity and nobleness of character tha
the dec-ased had borne among his neigli

disposition with which lie hail always

with a pathos tint was quite touching
There was a large concourse ot friends
present, the funeral procession being
about a mile in length.

Green County, Illinois, May 18, 1835,
