THE FRUIT CROP IS
SPLENDID
Government Exoert Says
Outlook Bright
That the fruit crop of Oregon will
be better comparatively than that in
other sections of the United Statvi
this 'season la the opinion of A. F.
Hltt, who watches the crops of Ore
gon. Washington and Idaho for th?
United States department of agricul
ture, who la in this city on his regu
lar trip of inspection. Mr. Hltt 1b
constantly in touch with the different
crops throughout the United States
and he is especially well situated
when he cares to contrast the differ
ent crops throughout the country.
Mr. Hitt was asked to compare the
crops of this valley with those of
other sections of Oregon, but this he
declined to do, as "it might make
trouble." He is, however, well pleased
with the present conditions of the
fruit crop In the Rogue River valley.
Mr. Hltt reports that the wheat
crops throughout the United States
are unusually heavy this year, and
stated that there was an absolute
freedom from pests this year or that
there was an absolute freedom up un
til July 1. Harvest of the wheat
crops is well along In most section).
In regard to the pests that are the
bane of the orchard men, Mr. Hltt
states that there Is less blight and
scale this year than ever before. This
1s due, in his opinion to climatic con
ditions, and also to the fact that frnit
growing la being done on a more
scientific scaje than ever before.
"The fruit crop of the Pacific
northwest," said Mr. Hitt, "will be
of a greater and better quality than
ever before and will surpass the
rops of all other sections, compaia
lively.
"All of the fruit growing centers
of Oregon are especially fortunate
this year, and good prices will obtain.
The outlook Is bright."
FAMOUS MAX HERE.
All kinds of noted men come to
our valley. The latest gentleman of
note to go wild over our wonderful
Oregon is the man who paints ears of
corn so natural as to decieve horses
and pigs, he being none other than
Professor A. Montgomery, the world
famous farmer painter.
Mr. Montgomery was one of the
lecturers at the Chautauqua this sea
son, ind while there be was met by
his old-time eastern friend, F. W.
Streets of this city, and Wednesday
night and all day yesterday this man
of note was the guest ot Mr. Streets
and bis family.
Mr. Montgomery, in street par
lance, baa gone "nutty" on the
Rogue River valley. A representa
tive of The Morning Mall secured an
Interview with this distinguished man
who said:
"All that's wrong with this Oregon
land Is that you need five million
more people here, and It I can turn
a wheel to boost your state, and par
ticularly your beautiful and produc
tive valley, I am acting to do it. I
have a faculty of starting this face of
mine to saying something and then
going away and leave it. That's what
I am going to do when I get back
east. Why, those fellows back there
don't know wuat they are missing,
but I'll tell them. There are a whole
bunch of fellows who have Just sense
enough to take some little st ick In
what I tell them, and when I spin
my yarn on the Rogue River valley
they'll all be going some, and they'll
hit the high places until they reach
here. No, thank yon; I make my
money painting and lecturing with
or without commission, but you
listen to me when I tell you that I'll
fill your valley with a bunch ot fel
lows you'll be proud of and they've
cot the money to do business on, too.
Why, say, this country Is a wonder.
My friend Streets here will tell you
that -now a good article when I'm
looking straight at It. I used to paint
pictures of his medal winning bulls
bark east. 80 yon are a newspaper
nan, are youT When do you splutter,
morning or night? Morning, eht
Well, your uncle will be out of town
then and you can't hurt me I'll be
out of reach."
Mr. Streets gave his familiar
friend a Jolly good automobile race
over the valley, and It Mr. Montgom
ery needed any more filling than he
had when Interviewed In the moraine
he surely got It before evening.

My, but there ts satisfaction In see
ing California occupying second
place In fruit growing, and still more
satisfaction in knowing that Oregon
grown fruit Is doing the good work
which puts our sister state among
"used to was fruit growers."
Listen to this: W. H. Brown and
F. E. Merrick are shipping apricots to
Portland and are receiving from
$1.35 to $1.60 per crate, while Cali
fornia grown apricots are in the same
market hunting someone to sample
them at from 60 cents to $1 per
crate.
Time was not a great many years
ago when California fruit waa the
whole show on the market, and if
Oregon had any place then she bad to
steal It. But It Is different now
Oregon fruit growers got wise afew
years ago and commenced calling the
people's attention to her fruit, and
since then the people have been call
ing for Oregon fruit. California
packers for a tew years used to come
over Into Oregon and buy our fruit
and pack It In boxes with California
labels on them, but our growers soon
got wise to this and would not sell to
a California buyer, and that put the
California buyers all to the bad and
today4he Oregon branded box Is kins
ot the market.

NEWPORT, R. I., Jnly 22. Presl

when Informed ot the action of the
Circuit court of appeals In reversing
I the ntandard Oil case at Chicago.
CONDITION OF OUR
BANKS
Address Delivered by W.
S. Crowell
At the recent meeting of the State
Bankers' association the following ad
dress waa delivered by Judge W. 8.
Crowell of the First National bank o
this city:
"I come from the place you all are
seeking Paradise. Paradise Is lo
cated in the beautiful Rogue River
valley, where are produced thoBe
larger and luscious apples with which
Mrs. Eve beguiled our father Adam
in that byegone time, about which
some of you have doubtless hea'd. We
also grow fine tig trees, the same sort
from which Mr. and Mrs. Adam had
their first tailored suits built.
'There are 10 banks in Paradise
I mean Jackson county and nil are
prosperous. Jointly tbey control a
half million dollars of banking capi
tal, besides having deposits exceed
ing $2,000,000.
'The panic, while for a time it In
terrupted business, caused no perma
nent Injury to any of our local Inter
ests. During the holidays, while tbe
lid waa on,' all our banks remained
open, and none refused cash when
our customers needed It. In Medford
the Southern Pacific deposited all Its
dally freight and passenger collec
tions, amount to $5,000 or $6,000
weekly, In the local banks and took
our exchange on San Francisco there
for. This kept fully $40,000 at home
during the several weeks tne lid was
on that would otherwise have gone
to San Francisco. This conduct of
the railroad was much appreciated by
the banks and citizens ot Medford.
"Since the legal holidays termi
nated, on December 16, deposits in
our local banks ve not materially
changed. The demand for money Is
greater than it was a year ago. An
active movement in real estate con-
tlnues and all our local business in
terests are prosperous.
"The Southern Pacific railroad has
largely assisted our local commercial
bodies In advertising the resources ot
southern Oregon in tbe east, and this
has resulted in increasing our popula
tion fro ml5 to 20 per cent during
the last year. The new comers have
largely been persons of means, and
the Investments which they have
made have caused a very considerable
increase 01 the - resources of
Jackson county, besides adding a re
fined and prosperous element to our
population."
THE WAR UPON THE SALOON.
In two-thirds of all the territory
of the United States the saloon has
been abolished by law. Forty years
ago there were 3,500,000 people liv
ing in territory where the sale of
liquor waa prohibited. Now there are
36,000,000 people under prohibitory
law. Since that time the population
ot tbe country has scarcely doubled,
while the population in prohibition
territory has Increased enfold. There
are 20,000,000 people In the 14
southern states, 17,000,000 of whom
are under prohibitory law In some
orm. In 1900 there were 18,000,000
under prohibition In tbe United
States, now there are 36,000,000. In
eight months state-wide prohibition
has cleared the saloon from an area
as great as that of France. In that
area there Is a solid block of terri
tory 300 miles north and south by
720 miles east and west, in which on
the first day of next January a bird
can fly from tbe Mississippi to the
Atlantic ocean and from the bound
ary of Tennessee to the Gulf ot Mex
ico, without looking down upon a
lea-allied saloon. Great Britain and
Ireland could be set down over this
space without 'covering It. There
would be 10,000 square miles of
"dry" territory left as a border. Re
view of Reviews.
AFTER FRUIT LAND.
Messrs. Worrell ft Dressier, real
estate dealers, have a letter of In
quiry from O'Nell Bros., of Califor
nia, In which they ask If 20-acre
growing orchard tracts may be had
In the Rogue River valley, and If so,
they state they want to Invest. Ttey
do not ask the price at which mec
orchards may be secured, seeiLlng'
they do not care much, to long as
they get what they want and when
they want It. They tell that they have
received literature from the Com
FLOODS SERIOUS.
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 18
Recent Inundations In tbe vicinity of
Tokat, Asia Minor, are more serious
than at first reported. According to
a private letter from Samsum, on the
Black Sea, a total of 2,000 Uvea were
lost, Including 300 prisoners std $00
army recruits.
PATHOL FIELDS WITH GUNS.
Rumors that Whim Intend to Cut
Grain Arouse Braves' Ire.
PENDLETON, Or., July 22. lu-
dians on the Umatilla reservation,
angered because ot the lease tangle
precipitated by the Injunction suit
brought by Marion Jack, an Indian,
against Roy V. Parringer, walked
dangerously near the warpath yester
day. They were sent word that
growers of grain on the lands In con
troversy Intended to enter the fields
I rut the grain before others could
get out Injunctions In the suit. As a
result the Indians guarded the fields
with guns and other Implements of
warfare, but no serious trouble oc
curred.
The controversy between Marlon
Jack and Roy V. Perrlnger Is over a
settlement of 100 acres ot wheat,
which Perringer claims to be on land
o which the lease has not been ap
proved. The question causing seri
ous trouble ts whether Secretary Gar-
Id had power to modify the lease
which was approved by himself and
the department.
FISHWAY ON BEAR CREEK.
It la doubtful If anyone ever
thought a fishway would be neces
sary In Bear creek. As a matter ot
fact. It is not to be presumed that
anyone ever thought much about It.
However, the dam which the city ot
Medford placed across the creek has
made the fishway necessary, ard one
is being put In. The necessity for
this fishway has proven the tact that
there are a number ot fish tn this
creek, a fact which did not hereto
fore exist, and It Is said there are a
great number ot fun now to be seen
near the dam and fishway.
Deputy Fish Warden Messier is
calling attention to the state fish law
as appltea to dams and fishways,
which Is that the taking ot fish with
in 600 feet of any dam or fshway Is
an offense, punishable by a heavy
fine.
Tbe fish, to be sure, are net as
large In Bear creek as they are In
Rogue river, but tbe same law la ap
plicable In all cases, and the alt of
the fish is not a material factor. The
fish tn Bear creek are hardly sisable,
for men, but the boys are said to be
catching them at tbe dam, and Mr,
Messier will call parents' attention to
the fact that their boys are offenders
against the laws of the state and will
be punished unless they desist.
MY8TFRIOU8 CAVE FOUND.
GRESHAM, Or., July 22. A mys
terious hole In the ground has been
discovered on Charles Powell's farm.
about a mile from Gresham, and It re
mains a mystery yet. In a small
grove ot trees a tunnel was discov
ered covered over with brush, which
was found to lead to a larger chamber
several yards away. It had been re
cently excavated, but no signs of the
earth which had been removed were
to be found anywhere. It had all
been carried away and scatered over
the plower fields In the vicinity.
Several persons visited the spot
and came away fully Impressed with
the Idea that the mysterious chamber
was Intended to hide evidence of
some crime, but of what nature can
not be fathomed. The underground
chamber would make an excellent
cache for plunder or for hiding a
counterfeiting outfit. It was thought
by some that the place had been made
by Japanese to hide firearms and
ammunition. A premature exposure
of the discovery prevented a solution
ot tbe mystery and the hole will re
main an unsolved puzzle. Its build
ers will barly attempt to use it now,
since Its existence has been made
public.
FLEET OFF AGAIN.
HONOLULU, July 22. At 6:!S

BRYAN SNUBS THE SOUTH.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 21.
Thomas E. Watson, People's party
candidate for preslden.t today said:
' uryan made a mistake In dealing
with the political situation in the
south, and I will take advantage of
this fact. He has gone to the limit In
presuming upon the political help of
the south. The southern statea are
expected to give him 156 electoral
votes, almost two-thirds of the neces
sary majority he expects to win; vet

will recover, but waa very seriously
injured by the fall aud by being
washed along by the stream through
the rapids for a distance of over 100
feet. He was pulled from the stream
by a number of men who were at
the mill at the time of the accident.
Mr. Harris was at the mill mak
ing preparations for starting 'the
plant in order to get out the lumber
to fill the contract tor the Butte
Falls school house. He started to
turn the water In tbe flume out for
a while so that the water wheel
could be overhauled and waa caught
in the rush of water. He was car
ried over backwards and fell from a
cliff which la between 30 and 35 feet
in height. He fell to the rocks be
low and his escape from Instant
death is miraculous.
The rush of the water carried him
on down the atream to the large pool
from which he was rescued by a
number of tbe employees of the mill.
Medical assistance was summoned
from Butte Falls.
It was found that Mr. Harris did
not suffer a broken bone and Is do
ing nicely. Internal complications
may set in for across hts oack there
Is a large bruised place.
It was not a great while ago that
Mr. Harris waa warned to look out
for the cliff as be was working
there one day. He started to fall
but was caught by one of the by
standers. This time aid waa not at
hand and he ia a badly injured man
In consequence.
Mr. Harrla Is very well known In
this city. He has been associated
with the timber lands of the Big
Butte district for a number ot years
past. He has turned a number ot
big deals In that section of the
country.
Last week B. H. Harris had the
misfortune to fall over a cliff 30 feet
high at his mill in the Big Butte dls
trict, and was badly injured. Last
evening his horse followed his ex
ample, but did not escape so lightly,
as the horse suffered a broken back
and waa abot In order to put It out of
Its misery.
The animal was stabled In the Nash
livery barn, and as Is the custom In
ttat stable, waa on tbe second floor.
It became frightened in some man
ner and. Jumping over the manger,
fell to the floor of the barn below,
striking on Its stern and breaking Its
back.
Dr. Helms was Immediately sum
moned, but nothing could be done for
the animal. It was sbot In order to
end its misery.

RETAIL GROCERS HOLD BACK.
Heavy Park of All Varieties at Fruit
Reason of Delay.
Retail grocers are holding off In
placing their orders or future de
livery canned fruits, principally for
he reason that the pa-k this season
promises to be extremely heavy both
tn this state and In California. Ore
gon cauners have not yet announced
their prices for this season, but of
course will do so before many days.
All varieties of fruits are ot prol'ftr
yield thla year, with the exception
of piuma and prunes, which are re
ported aa dropping badly In the San
ta Cisra valley, California.
Canners have made a large pack
of cherries and berries and are now
working apricots and the later va
rieties of cherries.
The eastern packers are also pre
pared to handle unusually large
amounta of fruit this season, and
peaches, particularly, will reach for
mer proportions. Last year the yield
waa small, but this year came back ta
normal. The following report is from
a New York trade paper:
' peach crop from the Delaware
peninsula last year amounted to only
186 cars, by reason of adverse condi
tions. It ts expected that this year It
will require more than 3,500 cars to
handle the output. With thla Idea In
mind, the Pennsylvania railroad is
planning to send to the peninsula
during the next six weeks a large
number ot refrigerators and venti
lator cars. These will be stored on
side tracks, and be ready for Imme
diate use aa the peachea are brought
in from the orchard Trains will then
be made up as rapidly as the loaded
cars accumulate, and the cars will be
rushed to market on passenger train
schedules.

In the records of the Salvation
army headquarters at 399 S.ate
street, tbe case ot McCarty was en
tered as one of the most remarkable
in all the history ot the organization.
Several years ago the young man
he la 40 years old now gambled
away his money one evening In Mont-
peller, Ind. Then he got drunk, broke
into a store with his "pal," and stole
$.',v0 worth of surgical Instruments.
which he sold later for $16.50. He
was caught and sentenced to from
ne to 15 years' hard labor In tbe
Indiana state penitentiary.
After serving two years he was pa
oled and given a Job on an Ice wagon.
Then he got drunk again and hit a
man over the head In a street fight.
This, he was told, would end hts pa
role, and he fled the state.
Months afterward, after serving
half a dozen Jail sentence and living
like a tramp, he drlften Into North
Yakima and began attending Salva
tion army meetings. The strange,
emotional songs and Impassioned
preaching "took hold." and after a
time he Joined the army.
Soon after his '"conversion," Mc
carty's conscience began t otrouYo
him. Early tn June be wrote to Gov
ernor Hanly of Indiana telling blot
of the circumstances of his escape
from the state and of his Intention to
return and serve out his sentence
"Come ahead," wrote Governor
Hanly, In reply. "Your broken pa
role will mean a sentence of !4
years, but you have made me a proiu
icc. Now fulfill It." There w a tit
word of a possible pardon or mill-gai-
rrience.
Within a few weeks McCarty had
earned ruough to pay for the long
:rli tn Michigan City and la.it Wtd
lesday he started. He reached Chi
cago yesterday morning, had a long
ta'M with Colonel French, terrltorisl
secretary of the Salvation arT. in
ti'hkneo. and then went on to Vlrnl-
can City.
