was my friend. I loved the old
manln Ufa snd love htm In death.
I firmly believe tbat he was more

with bis mistakes, is stIU loved by
the people of this great state, His
mistakes wsts msde nt a time when
a great false system was In vogue.
Money bowed like water to defeat

Welbom Beesoa, of Talent, Is tak
ing steps to inaugurate a new Indus
try In Oregon, and that Is tbe grow
ing ot trait tree stocks from seed for
ate la nareer'ee.
Tbe majority of tbe fruit tret
stocks nsed in tbe United 8tates are
grown In France, About nine-tenths
ot tbe A met lean grown stocks are
grown at Topeka, Ka., and tbe other
tntb at Salt Lake, Utah.
Topeka grown apple stocks sell
for K per thousand f. o. b., and oust
(1.20 iretgbt to Oregon points. Pear
stocks 14.60.
A no. 1 appls or pear stock Is a
aics clean root about tbs sire and

Branched stocks are quoted lower
In price.
Mr, Beesoa informs oa that In this
valley notbiog but branched stocks
oan be grown snd tbey usually grow
over sire, bnt he Is strongly of tbe
opinion tbat Klamath eoonty's
climate and soil are adapted to tbe
prodaotlon ol first-class stocks. To
tbis end be bas written to J. Frank
Adams, of Merrill, sending also some
seeds ot both apples and pears, re
qetttng Mr. Adams to experiment In
tbe matter, with a view to determin
lng it tbe proper quality of stooks
can be grown there. Mr. Beesoa le
correct in hie deductions tbis will
open up a new field nt Industry Is
Klamath . . There is a large and
growing demand on tbe eoaet for
such material and there will be ao
qoeetloo abont a market at remuner
