A few years ago, not more than
five or six, California fruit packers
came over into Oregon and bought
our pears, packed them in boxes
bearing California labels, shipped
them east and sold them as Cali
fornia grown pears. A great howl
went up at this and The Mail Bent
up a protest that was louder ,than
any of the howls. We, at that
time, only hoped that a time would
come when we could even up the
score. That time has come it is
here now, and we are paying back
the California pilferers the whole
indebtedness, with interest com
pounded. California apples are now
being packed in Oregon boxes and
sold as an Oregon product and the
price paid is better than that realized
for the California product. The
California fruit is undoubtedly as
good, especially the apples grown
in northern California, but they
have not the reputation which the
Oregon red and yellow apple has
oa the market hence the packing
of this fruit in Orpgon labeled boxes.
It is also gratifying to note that the
pears of Southern Oregon ore no
longer packed in California boxes.
The excellency of our pears has
forced itself into the markets of the
world and there is no longer a ques
tion raited as to quality where the
Southern Oregon stencil or label is
in evidence. As will be seen by
the San Francisco market report,
published elsewhere in this paper,
Oregon apples are quoted in that
city at twenty-five cents a box more
than California apples.
MORE BOUQUETS FOR SOUTH
ERN OREGON FRUIT
Some few weeks a?o Mr. L. G. Porter
sent 10 friends In the east a few sample
boxes of our delicious and unexcelled
fruit. He did this not because that the
fruit itselt waa superior in quality or
variety to that grown here every year,
but because that he wanted his friends
to know what really good fruit was like.
The fruit reached' Its destination In
prime shape and here are a couple of
letters he received acknowledging Its
receipt.
This one from W. K. Goodpasture,
Minneapolis, Minn.:
"The npples and pears came all right.
Many thanks. The delicious flavor of
the fruit carried me back to the lays of
my childhood and ol'd Vermont. Oh,
my, but they are good, and as I watch
them disappear my soul is full of re
grets, but, nevertheless, I feel I have
bad a good thing. Childhood memories
and tastes can never be forgotten."
Here is another, from J. E. Miner,
also of Minneapolis :
"Box came O. K., and we have fully
tasted same, and find apples very Sne
and choice. Mrs. M. says we cannot
get anything like them here and she
dislikes to use them, fearing they will
not last always."
Med ford Cider In Portland.
From tbe Oregon Agriculturist.
The new cider and vinegar factory
at Medford is doing a large businet s
and is paying six dollars per ton
for apples, which is a high price
for apples to be used for making
cider and vinegar. Cider from this
factory is now on sale at the lead
ing retail grocery stores in Portlam',
and it is not probable that cider
will be brought from Kentucky to
Portland this year as was done last
year. '

BY A STAFF OOHBRSIDNDKNT.;
A walk out through any part of the
olty of Meilfot'd thoroughly convinces a
Mail reproMmtallvo la the truthfulness
of the old adago, that "Nothing goes to
show the solidity and substautiitblllty ot
town so much as does a good class of
residences, all occupied." Men some
times build business blocks for specula
tion In towns that do not demand thorn.
In traveling over the country one fro-
auontlv oncotiutors a good, live and
thrifty town in which there are empty
business houses, but one never encoun
ters a live business town whero there
aro many empty residences, nor a dying
or dead town whore tho residences nro
all full. When tho resident-en aro tilled
up as well as the business rooms, as In
Medford, It shows that the people are
horo, and further, that they intend to
stay. When people build tine resiliences
they do so for the purpose of making
permanent homes and, while thus
speakiug, It Is woll to say that business
In Medford Is represented by firms
with large capital and onorgy. Ttioy
carry immense stocks of tvorythlng In
their lines, and their prices are always
at the lowest notch. Anything that
can be tound in a rity van do nau 111
Medford, for this enterprising place is
quite, metropolitan In Its make-up.
And again, while everything lu and
around this city bespeaks ot enterprise
aud prosperity, just keep saying a good
word for your towu and patronnsing
your home merchants, and all will bo
well.

As the season of the year approaches,
tho 27lh day of this month has been set
apart by President Roosevelt and Gov
ernor Ueer ns a day of thanksgiving.
It is well and good to recount tho bless
ings and to "forget not all His benetiu."
Seedtime aud harvest, peace and plenty,
are the gifts of His love, aud this Is
sufficient reason for public recognition
of our obligations to Him tbe Great
Ruler of a great universe.
Thus again the dreary, wintry days
have come. It seems but yesterday we
said farewell to them and turned lo
welcome the sunny face of summer,
aud now, all too soon, summer with its
wealth ot foliage and Its carpeting of
(lowers Is fadiug into Ihe realm of the
past. To say farewell to summer Is to
till the mind with gloom. It suggests
long, cold and dismal rains, cheerless
and muddy streets (although thofO here
in Southern Oregon are not so bad as In
other parts of our fair state), which go
to make up the usual dread of winter.
The changing panorama of tho seasons
touches tbe hearts of all, though in a
different munner. Those persons who
have enjoyed the beauties of summer
and drank deep of its cup of pleasuie
will mourn its departure. Some who
have seen their saddest hours, whose
lives have been darkoned by the death
ot loved ones, their fortunes shnttered
and their hopes blighted in the days of
suiishiue, will welcome the lowering
skies as lit companions! their thoughts.
Bui all these will find a solace through
the wintry hours in cosy rooms, on
easy chairs, before the cheerful fire, in
whose glowing ombers they may read
the fortunes of their future lives.
Thanksgiving Service.
According to the proclamation of the
President of the United States and
Governor of. the State of Oregon and in
keeping with our usual custom, the
churches of Medford will unite in a
union service at the First Baptist
Church Thursday, November 27th, at
10:30 o'clock A. M. Tbe music will be
arranged by a committee appointed
from each of tho churches. The usual
offering will be taken for the be lelit of
those who may be in need. Rev. Cran-
dall will preside and be assisted by other
pastors. The sermon will be in keeping
with the occasion.
Let all our people attend these serv
ices, and bring with them an offering
of gratitude.

A. P. ARMSTRONG,
Foothill Orchard.
A groat many of oar orvlmtWnen io
considering tho capabilities ol tho loot-
hill lands as to tho matter 01 iruic
raising, aniltliooxiiorioiiuo of ox-County
Commissioner Hradshaw, covering a
porlod of something like ton years,
tends to domoimtrato tho quality of llo
land and tho superiority of siluallou
for that purpose. It Is a fact that this
seasun tho applo crop lu tho valley
orchards has boon short. Thoro Is
hardly a fruit grower whoso estimates,
bused on the situation In July and
August, liavo boon bomo out when It
camo to nicking ami pnoklug his fruit
This Hhortngu waa doubtless brought
about by tho uuusually hot, dry weather
of tho lattor part of August and during
tho aiontli of September, prcvoullug
tho full maturing of tho fruit, and the
consequouoo was that a largo amount ot
It (oil from tho trees before It was
reudv to irathur. Mr. Hradshaw had
no suoh oxporlouco as this, and Invostl
gallon shows that wherever thoro was
a full crop It occurred In an orchard lu
tho foothills, whore tho constant seep
ago from tho mountains back of It
counteracted tho effects of the drouth,
or whero tho land on which tho trees
stood was naturally sub-irrigntod.
Now, as to Mr. nradahaw'i experl
enoj In tho your ISM Mr. Brudshaw
purchased tho plauo on which ho now
resides in tho foothills of tho llutte
creek section. At that time there was
on tho place a three-year-old orchard of
some niuoty acres, planted thereon by
tho former owner, a Mr, Uplium. In
Juno following tho purchase a hailstorm
coining from tho southwest leveled
almost every growing thing on tho (arm
to the ground. Driven by a strong
wind tho hailstones cut throe hundred
acres a grain closer than It could have
boon dona with a sylho, and what whs a
few hours before a waving field of green
was now only bare ground. When Ibo
storm was over it wus found that every
tree had been stripped of its foliage
limbs, both large aud small, Uttered
the earth, and the southwest side of
every tree and every limb and twig
still remaining had been stripped of
bark as cleanly as if done with a kulle
It looked as tf every tree must infalltb'y
have been killed, and Mr. Ilrudtbaw
Immediately began to have them
grubbed up, so as to prenaro tbe ground
lor some other crop. Not being able to
secure belu to complete tho job that
fall, about (If teen acres ot tho original
ninety wen left. In tho spring these
trees leafed out thriftily, and it was
concluded lo allow them to stand. Now,
mark tho rerult. Last year the trees
wort) loaded heavier, Mr. Bradahaw
says, than ho cer saw trees before, so
that this year, as is natural, some of
them did not bear prollllcullyrbut, uol
withstanding all this, Mr. Hradshaw
marketed B.V1O boxes of A No. 1 apples
from that orchard, tie sold four car
loads before picking and overrun In
delivery one hurdrod boxes. That's
the record this year.
And such apples! A sample box of
Xewtowu I'ippius, to be sues at the
Medford bank, aro pronounced by
orchardmen to be the largest and finest
apples of that variety they have ever
seen anywhere. These apples were not
selected from tbe whole crop as tbe
largest, but ure an average box ol tho
largest grade. One of tbe.ii, picked up
at random, measured twelve inches In
circumference. How 's Hint for 11 New.
town Pippin? Mr. Brad-thaw's Bald
wins, Red Cheeked I'ippius and lien
DuvIb are all on par with his Newtown.
All this Is not intended fur an argu
ment that the valley orcburds ure Lot
suitable for fruitralsing, not by any
means. It is merely Intended to show
that there are thousands of acres of
foothill lands, heretofore regarded as of
less value for the raiMng of fruit than
the valley lands, which could bu con
verted into orchurds, and this will
doubtless be done in the not distant
future.
In the matter of tho shortage in tho
crop this year, as compared with early
estimates, tho shortage is really moro
apparent than real. At tho time the
early estimates were made the prospect
was good for an enormous crop, but, as
said before, weather conditions so un
usual that they are not likoly to occur
again for many years caused the crop to
fall below tho estimate; bill even with
tills tho output will bu up to the aver
age In almost any country than this.
No. We do not mean lo say thnt
applee can't bo raised on the valley
lands (anybody knows better than thnt),
but wo do mean to say that there are
many, many acres of foothill Innds,
I wbieh are now bringing In little or no
revenue to their owners, which could

Death of Jonathan Oallahcr.
W. K. (Jul ton has handed Thk Mail
a copy pf the IJac:lllu Veteran and Saw-

Calif., of date November 1, ItKW, ill
which we find the following, which lias
reference to thu death of a former Jack
son County resident, bo IibvIiik lived

"The funoral of Comrade Oallahur,
ouo of the oldest and most respected
residents of Uawtelle, took plaee Mon
day ofleruooii from the hospital, anil
was attended by a very largo number
of sincere mourners, many of whom
came from a distance.
'"Comrade Jonathan Callahcr was a
native of Pennsylvania, and was a mem
ber of Company G, II -Kb, Pennsylvania
Infantry, in which he served faithfully
and well. In later Ufa he took up his
residence at Medford, Ore, where he
remnlnod until the spring of 18I1M, when
failing health forced him to seek a moro !
Rchial climate, mid he was admitted to
membership In the I'acilie Homo Jlninch
In April of that year. Ho was one of
tbe lirst to take up a ruslduueo in our
growing town, and did much toward
its growth by his sturdy faitb in its
futuro, as was shown by his unromitting
labors to Improvo his property huro,
"Last June ho waB taken 111, and
despite modloul attention slowly sank
u idor tho visitation. Ho was takon to
