The July numiVr of lilt' Sim set
Magazine iu the favorite periodical
In this city jiuit now, for It contains
one of the most reudable dsci llive
article. nn the Kopue River valley
that has come before the people of
this bit t ion, A. J. Wells, the writer
has a happy faculty of presenting
facts and figures In such a manner
as to give tli em a touch of romance
and make them read like fiction. He
deal ii mostly with Southern O;pgon
as a fruit country uud given espec'sl
nt lent ion to the apple. The article
wen pie eight ages of the magazine
an j Is replete with half-tone illustja
tiona. On the subject of the Itone
river apple he says In one para
graph:
"Incredulity shows Itself at in-
other point. There Is a tradition that
the best apple Is a product of cold
countries, and men re-id of tht-t nii'd
climate and say, 'You simply cimnct
grow the best flavoied apple without
cold weather Well, we earn,. r-
Kue with him. We show Mm the ti-M
apple. It came out of this climate;
It came of this soil; It Is In part the
outcome of the grower's skill and
care. Beyond this we do not know.
but here Is the apple. .Look at il;
see Its color. Its size. Its symmetr',
Its firmness. It will easily keep a
year., and if six months after It came
from the tree you will sample It, vim
will confess that It Is as good as it
looks, If you are an Engllshn.au
and brought up on orthodox apples,
you will surrender to these Newtown
Pippins and setting your teeth in
one, will wish you were a boy again.
"Rogue river rests Its case on the
market. The men who buy tbe ap
ples are the best judges; the men
who reach half way round the world
to taste the flavor and to be able to
please their friends with the perfect
beauty of those apples on the table
at an English banquet these men
do not debate about tbe climate.
They simply 'go for the apple. And
the pear and the cherry and all ber
ries vie with the apple In beauty and
size and flavor. We might as well
confess we provincials who have
not been outside our own state or
our own county that there are
more things in the garden and orch
ard than we have dreamed of In our
philosophy. Oregon in her untamed
wlldness, knows something about
berries that we never knew. In va
riety, in abundance, In size and fla
vor they nave no rivals In all the
world. And the secret whtcb her
humid hillsides held when the Indi
an, tbe beaver and tne bear were tn
possession of the country. Is now be
ing coined Into money by the fortu
nate few who are 'onto It, and sc
much of the wild vigor, the lusty
strength and perfect beauty of the
uncultivated fruits gets Into the cul
tivated product, as to prophesy a day
when berries and cherries will be as
famons as are' the apples and pears.
You are struck at once, If at all ob
serving, by the health of the tree,
the luxuriance of the vines. This, of
course, Is behind the fruit. The cli
mate and soil simply combine to
make tree and vine as lusty as may
be without sacrificing fruit to exu
berant wood growth. You cannot
have perfect fruit without a vigorous
and healthful body upon which to
grow It.'
MARK i'l'T IX NORMAL COt'RSK.
PrenMcnt Would Kllminate Short
hand and Typewriting.
SALEM, Or., June 30. At a meet
ing held here this afternoon the pres
idents of Oregon State Normal
schools decided to recommend to the
board of regents the elimination of
shorthand and typewriting from the
course of study. This will remove
what has been one of the strongest
grounds for charging that the nor
mals are local institutions. The pres
idents also recommend that entrance
requirements be strengthened so as
to admit only those who have com
' pleted the ninth grade. The latter
recommendation has also been made
by the board of normal school visit
ors. The board of regents will meet
at the rapltol tomorrow for Its an
nual session.

He refused to discuss the Republic
an national championship
J. M. Hoot, who has a fine young
orchard of fnriy acres out south and
west from Med ford, has decided to
plant a row of cheat unt trees around
the entire true;. Now, that's a flav
or scheme. While it may be true
that no one has tried out the chest
nut tree product us a revenue pro
ducer in this valley, the fact remains
that should It develop that they do
not produce a sufficient amount of
nuts and of quality which will war
rant the growing of the trees as nut
producers from a commercial point
of view, they inul;e flue shude trees
and will make au excellent border
for his orchard icud then again, if
not a dollar Is made In a commercial
way no valuable land has been sacri
ficed and no one financially injured
-by the experiment.
This experimental thought brings
to mind the avowed Intention of a
Med ford man to put out an orchard
of English walnuts which orchard,
by the way, would cover his entire
orchard land. Now, what a mistake
would be made by a move of that
kind. English walnuts have not
eon tried out as yet In this valley,
and no man can afford to plant bis
entire acreage to an untried tree,
wnether it be fruit or nut. If some
of the big orchard men want to ex
periment with walnuts, it would be a
cracking good idea and the experi
ment might add another revenue
producer to the valley. But no man
can afford to put out his entire
available orchard land to nuts.
The person who Is contemplating
the experiment will do so, as he
avers, because he does not believe
the railroad company will be able
to handle all the fruit produced In
this valley when all the young or
chards, now growing, come Into
bearing. And there Is another wrong
idea. You show any transportation
company tonnage and it will get af
ter it. The English walnut, he con
cludes, will not be so extensively
grown as to more than supply the
local demand, and therefore not be
in need of transportation.
' I'NION COl'XTY TO BE DKY.
LA rfRANDE, Or., June 30. On
the eve of July 1, when saloons of
this county were to go out under the
local option vote, Circuit Judge
Crawford has dealt a death blow to
the efforts of the saloons and brew
ers of tbe city to secure a temporary
Injunction enjoining the County
court from declaring the law in ef
fect July 1. The blow came this
morning when the court rendered a
decision on arguments taken on a
complaint filed by Julius Roeach
some time ago. alleging that the re
cent election was Irregular. The
court holds the election regular and
that the will of the people must be
obeyed. As a result of tbe decision
the County court later la the any de
clared the law effective July 1, and
today Is the last day for the saloons
of Union county. Excitement has
been intense while the matter was up
in the air, and today the saloon
forces are jubilant. The county will
have Its first dry Fourth of July
celebration in the history of the
state. -

WASHINGTON. D. C. June 30.
American military forces are now Is
service for the enforcement of tbe
neutrality laws along the Mexican
border. The employment of Amer
ican troops for thla purpose Is al
most without precedent In recent
years and the legal advisers of the
war department have been obliged to
give a close study to determine tie
extent to which the United States
may exercise power preventing per
sons from entering the United States
from Mexico. Except in the case of
Chinese and Japanese, about the on
ly grounds for the detention of f-i
git Ives crossing the line will be tor
some violation of the immigration
or health laws. Thus It will be a
delicate task for army oil leers to
avert clashes with the civil court. If
they undertake promiscuous arrests.
All agencies of the government ure
being bent to prevent any substan
tia) aid being given to Mexicans from
sympathizers across tbe border.

KNJOYAULE P1CMC.
(From Tuesday's Daily.)
Tbe homesteaders' picnic hel.l on
the unsurveyed at the home of W. V
Sjteneer yesterday was a most enji.v
able event and was very well attend
ed. The morning was spent pl.v. in-.!
croquet, baseball, etc. At noon the I
matrons produced a well-laden tV.ue
of good things and the picnickers en
joyed a royal spread. After lunch,
the Homestead hall being unfinished.
tbe young folks gave a very enter
taining minstrel show on the dancing
platform. The solos were all excel
lent, and the chorus above the av
erage. The end men's jokes were
new and original and gave a laugh
every minutes. The olio consisted
of several very entertaining numbers.
Baby Veretha Spencer was undoubt
edly the favorite of the day. Her
solus, "Smarky" and "Red Wing"
were well rendered and were full of
expression. She Is a very talented
child and a good entertainer. The
duet, "ljovers' Lane." by Mrs. Bruce
and Miss Vaughn, was superb. Mrs.
Bruce was at her best, and "Lovers'
I-ane" was the gem of the day. The
afterpiece was a sparkling comedy
sketch. It was brimful of mirth and
clever acting established Miss Spen
cer an enviable reputation as a com
edienne. After an overture by the
Owens' orcuestra the stage was
cleared and a social dance was held.
Everybody went home more fully
convinced than ever before that the
"unsurveyed" Is a live community
and a royal place to have a good
time.

slderable conjecture on the vice
presidential question.
Bryan adherents profess that the

occupying a position where they can
avail themselves of Bryan votes ror

Lawler, who acted as spokesman ex

big a man to be sidetracked into the
vice-presidency. Says It Is either
president or nothing. Lawler does
not believe that any nomination wll
be made on the first mallot. Bays
Johnson will make a good showing
on the first ballot, and will gain
steadily until nominated. Johnson
headquarters will be opened tomor

The first step In this direction was
taken Monday when Kent Ballard
and A. Castel. through their attor
neys. F. H. Mills and A. L. Leavltt.
filed a petition In the Circuit court
asking tor a writ or review. mvif.t
County Judge Griffith and Commis
sioner Fred Melhase the defennanta.
This wilt will come before Joflge
Benson is soon as he can find time
to take up the matter, and this win
likely be before tbe first day of July,
as according to the order of the
County court- prohibition goes late
effect. The outcome of the case H
be watched with much Interest. The
matter of granting the writ will la
Itself not stop prohibition from go
ing into effect, but If the writ la
granted It Is very probable that a
restraining order will be issued, and
If this Is done the saloons will con
tinue business until the mailer fa
finally settled.
In the petition are set forth a
number of reasons why the writ
should be granted, but chief among
them Is that the local option law Is
superceded by the charter of the eltr
or Klamath Falls. The local optkn
law was enacted In June of 1904.
while the city charter was not en
acted until the following year.
This places the case practically oa
a par with that of Medford, except
that the charter of this city does not
contain the clause delegating to the
city the power to regulate, Hem
and prohibit the sale of intoxicating
liquors regardless of any other state
law. The appendix, "regardless of
any other state law" Is not affixed tat
the clause In the charter for Klaas
atb Falls.
The petition cites error on the part
of the County court In making the
order for the local option elect loa
and also In declaring the result of
the election.
