Half Fare Ratos Asked.
The Commercial club of Walla Walla
Wash., has passed resolutions urging
tne raiiroail companies to grant a one-
fare rate for the round trip, bv eontiu
uous passage, between points in inter
ior Washington ami Oregon, and the
seaside resorts of these two states. -It
is understood that the club also favors
a higher rate when stopover privileges
are allowed. The Walla Walla club has
requested the commercial bodies of
Eastern Oregon, Washington and Idaho,
as well as the Commercial club of Port
land, to pass similar resolutions. Tt is
hoped that -favorable action niav be
taken by all, as the people of the in
terior should bo given the opportunitv
of visiting tho coast, especially during
the summer months, at the least pos
sibl coat.
Notes of Development.
Tho Mount Angel Commercial club is
the latest sff illation with tho Oregon

generally known that linker City is a
lumlier eeuter.
It will be the 15rh of May before the
new eight-story steel building of tho
Portland Commercial club will bo ready
IViV occupancy. The club will formally
open its new quarters on .Time 12, the
anniversary of the laying of its cor
nerstone. The cost of the building and
its furnishing has been $-t.'!4,000.
Successful Horse Sale.

the most prosperous resorts between
the Jtocky ninsjitains and the Pacific
ocean. The lowest attendance for many
months has been 130.

K'tstern owners. The average was $240
each for every horse sold during one
day if the pale.

tank to the engine and had their sue
ond experience. A burly hobo wanted
to come up and sit beside them, but, de
clared Mrs. Combs, "I held that hobo
off for two hours at the point of my re
voiver.
Ari'viug in Chieo, the girls expressed
their intention of making the rest of
the trip in male attire and the Southern
I'ricitie depot men they are an accom
modating lot soon h:id the desired np
pare) on haad. When tho time came to
make the change, however, the cirls
lid not possess the courage, and de
spite thef act that skirts retard clam
li"ring ontt locomotive tenders, they
difideil to go on in female attire. In
(i rants Bass they purpose to secure
l:h:iki suits.
Provided Mr. Combs does not object
when the girls arrive the two will work
for a week and then continue their
trip to Port bind; thence east through
Idaho, Mont ma 41 nil to Chicago, and
in 11 to Terre Haute.
HOBSON PICTURES WAR
BETWEEN AMERICA AND JAPAN
Captain Iliehmond P. Ilobsmi, who
speaks in Med ford t his e veiling, con
tributes an article in the forthcoming
(June) Cosmopolitan Magazine, giving
an imaginative description of a possible
war between Japan ami (lie Puitcd
States. Captain Hobson gives dia
grams of probable naval engagements,
showing the advantages the Japanese
would have through the presence of the
new Dread naughts, the Hut an ma and
the Olii. After lengthily detailing var
ious naval and military movements, the
'It is time patriotic Americans were
considering the possibility of a war for
our very existence. They should real
ize that everything would hinge upon
the control of the sea in tho Pacific.
We must take no chances of having the
permanent control of tho sea in this'
ocean. Jt our tleet wore on the I'ncitic
oast at the outbreak of war and should j
remain on that coast, moving out no
further than Hawaii, it would allow
tho Japanese to occupy the Philippines
for tho time.
"Except for cruises by our armored
cruisers wo should stand fast and pro
coed to build up 11 new fleot as big
acrain as our present fleet, ami in the
meantime should undertake tio offen- !
sive movement except to gain complete j
control of tho Hawaiian Islands and
establish a great naval base there.
'Of course, Japan would proceed to
build new ships also, but we could not j
ask better than a race in building ships, i
Wo could so move that the Japanese
fleot could get in action only by cross
ing the ocean.'
(Portland Journal.)
A heavy frost in the vicinity of Med
ford was believed to have done serious
damage to fruit buds, but later inves
tigation IritiU tit a different conclusion.
F. H. Hopkins, proprietor of the famous
Snowy Butte pear orchards near Cen
tral Point, came tu Portland vesterdnv
on btuiuess and said there will be a
big crop tif fruits 111 the Rogue Kiver
valley.
"While thero was some damage to
pears, the hudu show "that there is a
large Krcentage of the fruit unhurt,
and that tho uar crop will be ample.
The frost did not hurt apples at alt,
and thero is no occasion for alarm
about tho Rogue river valley apple
crop."
Similar reports of frost damage to j
Kastorn Oregon wheat are proved to be
unfounded. A. A. Morse, freight agent
of the Harriman lines, has just re
turned from a trip through the wheat
country inland, and ho said the crop
there this year will eojial the big yield
recorded in llt)7.
