ABOUT THE FORESTS.
..4.4.4.1
r.ilitor Daily I rihuno:
.'oininj; from Michigan, where infor
mation is free, where the apples have a
H'haiiK and the cider a tang that's worth
while, and all are as free as anywhere
else oii the planet, I felt quite at home
tn my first Sunday in Medford as i
pushed my way up with a hunch of
excursionists to Hi espeaker's stand,
where they were passing out the Kogue
Kiver Yellow Xewtowus.
Speaking of the coming meeting of
the State Forestry association to be
hi hi in I'ortliiuil, l-Yliruary I I, Profes
sor Luke of the Agricultural college
says:
"This meeting is reallv the first
public meeting held by Ihe association,
though it is more than a year old, or
pcthajhi 11 would be better to nay, since
it was organized. We have felt for
some time that the only way to get this
forestry problem before the ieople prop
erly is to hold a series of public meet
ings at which all those interested in the
subject may lake part in the discus
sions. "The forest wealth of this state is
enormous. The lumber product alone
is estimated at $:;,'-''O,iMl),0lll. An item
of greater value to the state than this
is that of the conservation of the water
supply; while the problem of a future
supply of timber ami the maintenanci
of a great industry cmpluying thou
sands of industrious citizens is of in
estimable value.
-t tlie iiottom or the economic
phase of the forestry problem lies the
subject of taxation and it is the pur
pose of the association to give this sub
ject free and fair consideration with
the hope that some just and equitabl
laws looking to the reforesting of burnt
over and cut-over lauds may be secured.
"Oilier equally important questions
will lie discussed at subsequent meet
ings. The association stands for the
protection and preservation of our for
est and Ihe dissemination of knowl
edge pertaining therein ll has 1 ther
purpose and will devote its whole ef
fort lo the end that Orog nay not
suffer from a reckless devastation of
its forests us witnessed by Michigan,
Wisconsin, .Minnesota ami other of our
eastern -dates.
"We would like to see this forest
crop economically harvested anil still
have the forest left intact so far as
to occupying laud that is more valuable
for the prodiiclioii of timber trees than
other crops. We want lo see our wa
tershed protected; we want the water
flow of onr streams uiaiiilaiiied that
the intense agriculture of the future
may be iti.urcd a success. Urieflv, we
hope 1.1 sir lb,- establishment of 1111
cn)i.'litc I forest policy. "

I felt that I would like to get next
to some information m regard to the
Kogiio Kiver valley fruits by sinking
my teetli into one of the yellow beau
ties; so I reached up for one, but
didn't get it. I tried again same
suit.
The apples were going rapidly-
punncii my nana up once more
"11 1 xy. Then I "tumbled." The
!- -oul 01 me iruu nail siw-il me up
as one or tlie rogues of Koine It v
valley and he did at propose letting nie
get the best of him, even tn the value
of one Yellow Newtown, so r backed
uo minniug 1 ii ne wining to give
annul a noiiar a minute for five min
utes time on the speaker's platform
to give a straight-out froin-theshoulder
talk to Medford 's boosters. Hut as I
couldn't do that without risk of being
styie.i a Diitter-in," and then, too, I
mignt not get in I took it out in
thinking I'd shake the dust of Med
ford from my shoes or rather, I 'd
kick the mud of Medford from my pat
ent leathers and pass the city and the
valley up.
Hut Medford mud has clinging qual
ities and I'm hero yet, optimistically
looking for more light, like the boyj
wno, in going home troni a neighbor's
place, was belated on the way, and
darkness came, then a terrific thunder
storm came un. and the little fellow
ould only make his w-av bv the Ilirlit
of the lightning's flashes, anil duriiir.
one of the intervals of blind darkness
he became rather alarmed, and fullinn
town on his knees he cried aloud. "O
lod, if it's nil the same tn von. I wish
you'd give me a little more light and
less noise." i
Now, I am still here, hopefllllv look- I
ing for Ihe bright spots. Sometimes I
read the Tribune and I have noticed I

all, "the man worth while is the one
who can smile when everything goes

wrought through the supernatural
agency of the huly spirit, can stand the
test of the great day. A large company
waspresent to hear this evangelical ser
mon. Hearts were touched and blessed,
The work is widening and deepening.
Don't shut yourself out of heaven bv
resisting the spirit's work. Don't sell
your soul for the bubbles of time. Come

7 SQUARE DEAL
Tin Kr.gne Kiver I-and Company has always eonlended tluit
fliere is no good naHi why tlie real estate business cannot be
rarried on honorably and honestly, with dm- regard for the rights
of both purchaser and landowner. Actuated by this opinion, the
company has never yet misrepresented as to the character of the
soil or the quality of the fruits produced un same, with the result
that alt who have bought orchards through this agency so far
could sell out, if desirable, nt an advance of loo to ."mi per eeat
above the pure hasp price. This is a history of which we are
proud, and we shall continue along the same tines in the future.
.Men who come into this favored valley looking for a new plan'
of abode are entitled to fair treatment. We only ask of them
that they will exercise ordinary business sagacity in investigating
the resources of the valley before buying.
There are three tilings the average investor wants, if he buys
country property in this valley. First and foremost, he wants a
home wuerc he ami his family can enjoy good health and the fruits
of this section. I'snally he wants to get located where he is within
easy reach of the leading commercial centers ami close to local
markets. And he always wants property which will bring in a
good income and is sure to advance in value ns the valley develops.
Will he be apt to find this combination in the hands of the
street -corner broker or the average "butter-in" who persecutes
the horueseeker about the hotel offices! When one rounders that
the situation is not urging many men with good holdings to sacri
fice their property here, it is up to the horueseeker to apply to the
regular dealer for what lie wants. If he wants tlie

he must apply to the Rogue River Laud Company. Wheu in Med
