There has been (liirinu' tlx p;it week an active demand $0 f0 f"r yreftiinys. So. 1 cral the 5 00 ' '" M1'-'1'''.' which has been selling , from JO shilliiiL's t" -1 shillings per barrel; lialdwiiiH.

On the other hand, whilst we ha e had better price for N'o. H grade tlian those recently ruling, the ad vatue has not been .ho marked as ill the better gradeH. Indeed, there is mirli a large quantity of this inferior quality Ktuff coming forward from Xnvh Scotia as keeps the demand for that ar ticle fully supplied. What will be want ed from now on to the end of the sea son at, wo arc inclined to think, good prices, will be really first-ehns No. 1 fruit. "In box apples the situation is also better, but unfortunately much of this Tile one important Mtlijert before the rily council and tie- people of Mcdford is I lie water problem, I lie bringing into Hit' city of an adequate supply of pure mountain water. The question should ii ot be allowed to take a back seat, mid the city officials should not allow themselves to get sidetracked into qiiar relK over mattern of minor importance. The council men should work together in all things for the good of tin city ami nothing means its welfare ho hi (i Ii as a water system. Representative Walter Moore of Ba ker City, who was here last week, stat fl thai his city had spent l'io,ini) for a water system ami found it the best fruit is arriving verv unsatisfactorily as investment ever made. It had paid from the start, though linker City was no larger than Mcdford at the t ime construct ion began. Tim story of the water question li. Hakcr City is the story of every city that has wuccessfully Holvcd the prob lem. The growth of Mcdford, its fu 1 ur welfare and prosperity are wrapped up in this question, ami when it is satisfactorily Mettled, no matter to condition. Oregon Ncwtowns arc, for the most part, even when Hound, dis tinctly inferior in quality and general appearance to those of previous vcars. I whilst in addition we regret to say many parcels arc arriving in a very wasty condition and have the appear ance of having been affected by frost somewhere en route before shipment. Really good Oregon four-tier fruit is sidling at from 13 to 14 shillings per "CLEAN-UP DAY." Kditor Tj ibunc: If Mayor Ifcddy .-houid ilig-ir.ti soioe suitable day in tin- future w " clean up day,' ' I believe hi act i tii would meet with t he approval of all who believe in a dearly and well kept city. The name indicnlo the dh ject of the day. Make it a public holiday. I.et everybody get out and clean up. Tick up the litter and refuse in the back yards and alleys; clean the streets; make the city presentable. I think there is nothing which makes a city noire attractive to the stranger than a mat and cleanly appearance. We who live here should take sufficient pride in our surroundings to do this work of our own accord, but there are probably sonic who are cart-less in this respect, and it would give them encour agement if there was a public move ment along these lines. While we are at it, what is the mat ter with putting out more shade trees along the streets. Mcdford is deficient in this respect. Kvery street and every block should have its row of shade trees. It is a good plan to get them started now. Yours for progress, S. A. NVK. able liorn-r.

BUILDING RAILROAD AND NEW MILLS AT HILT'S To the Kditor: In taking so decided a stand in ad vocating the necessity of a plentiful and constant supply of pure water you are a public benefactor, and I merely want to put myself on record as being in sympathy with you. Water is a necessity of life, ami pure water is es sential to long life. The stage of ad vancement of any community these days is readily known by the amount of pure water it uses daily, and if we apply thU test to Mcdford it is emphatically in t he dark ages. No town can call itself civilized where less than flu gal lons of pure water is used daily by even' inhabitant, and I suspect t hat much less than this quantity is used in this town, and as to the quality, well, it is gnally to our peace of mind that we an- ignorant of the actual fact in t he case. We all know that the fluit fmin iicnr creek is absolutely unfit for personal use. but tin- amount of solid water it contains may probably make it equally good for both irrigation and fertilizing. Our well water must be an unspeak- How About It, Judge Dunn? Winner, Or., I-'eb. o. To the Kditor: I notice by the published list of elec tion officials for l!Mi that the elec tion board in Winn r precinct is made up of Republicans again this year. Heretofore we have entered protest and the county court has made correction which made the board nearly represen tative of the two part its. in MM Hi the county court claimed that it didu 't know the political affiliations of the persons chosen ou the election board in this precinct. Of course, T have the most implicit confidence in the integ rity and honor of the honorable county judge, and know there nitifct be some good reason why five Republicans and one Democrat are chosen to compose the election board in a precinct which is two to one Democratic. I say there certainly must be a good and wise rea son for such action, because this time it cannot be a mistake, for the honor able county judge certainly knows that ''Doc" Syren us Vronmn, who has at tended Republican conventions in .lack son county for the past -o years; Kd Olson, his son-in-law: Charles Owens, candidate at the last primary election for nomination as sheriff on the Repub lican ticket: Hiram Moore and George Iteers, almost equally famous partisans, are good and true time-tried and fire- tested Republicans. Democrats in this precinct object to. this manlier of making up election; boa nl espec'uHly in precincts where j tin re is a heavy Democratic majority, j as is the case in Winier precinct. It would make mighty interesting reading; if the editor could ascertain and pub lish whv these things are thus. .IOTIN OWKNS. POLITE ATTENTION to all of our patrons.
