RIPARIAN OWNERSHIP
JOLTED BY SUPREME COURT
Chief Justice Mean of the Oregon Su
preme court, in an opinion in a case
appealed from Harney county, said:
"It is contended that the defendant,
All now. is entitled to the use of water
from Warm Springs creek, by right of
prior appropriation, and to the sur
plus water in such stream, if any, as
riparian proprietor, because the filing
of his predecessor in interest was 1 he
hist one made on Ihe stream. There
are several reasons why this posit ion
cannot be sustained, In the first place,
in Ihe opinion of the writer, il is doubt
ful whether ihe owner of land, through
which a non-mi vigable si ream flows,
can claim the right as riparian propri
etor, to use tin water thereof for ir
rigation, as against subsequent appro
prialois on the si ream below him.
"Ami again, it is a serious question
whether the desert laud act does not
abolish Ihe so called modified doctrine

Winter Losses in the South.
It Is u Ittmeiitahle fact that more cat

north. The explanation Is not hard to
find. In tlio north Ihe winter weather
is so severe that good tdieltcrs are an
absolute necessity, whereas In the

CITY OF MEDI'ORD
''The year ltN" demonstrated be
yond all question that the justly fa
mous Rogue Hiver valley is one of the
greatest fruit sections of the world.
I udeed , t he records made in orchards
adjacent to Med ford, Ashland and
Orants Pass arc so wonderful as al
most to surpass belief. For example,
a carload of Du Cornice pears, shipped
from Med ton I, grossed $HV22.SQ. This
is the fresh-fruit car record of the
world, and is equivalent to the remark
able price of 17 cents per pound for
fruit at wholesale. The best previous
price for a carload of fresh fruit is
also held by the Kuue River valley
In Ht07. llili acres of Winter Nellis
pears produced $10,000 net f. o. b.
shipping point. Fifty-five treeB of
Vellow Xewtown I'ippins produced 815
boxes of frnil, which, in spite of the
h'aancial panic in London, panned out
$17U."0 net. These trees grew on less
than one acre. The three-acre orchard
from which this fruit was taken has
produced an averago amount of $n00
not per year for the last eight years.
One hundred and fifty-two Yollow
Newtown Pippin trees produced in 1007
$1 1 'Jo f. o. b. Med ford. Those trees
grew on three acres. From eight acres
near Ashland (iOOO boxes of Xewtown
Pippin apples were marketed in 1907,
netting $2000 an aero f. o. b. orchard.
For the past seven years this orchard
has netted $701 per-acre average.
"Seven acrpB of Bartlett pears near
Modford in 1907 grossed $2200 por acre.
A young Bartlett pear orchard of 30
acres of 8-year old trees netted $10CS
por acre.
"Twenty Winter Nellis pear trees
netted $GH0 These figures show the
wonderful profit mado in 1907 from
apple and pear orchards about Medford
a profit exceeding $1000 per aero in
many caseB.
"Although the records for 1906 do
not show such wonderful returns, the
figures are, nevertheless, exceedingly
large. Three fourths of an acre of
Spitzenbergs produced fiST boxes in
l'.mh, whieft brought $1171. Four acres
of Spitsenborgs brought L'l 111.10.
Twenty two acres of pears in 190G pro
duccd fl-Hl boxes of fruit, which sold
for $SK4 f. o. b. cars.
