SHOULD STUDY OREGON.
' Tbe Portland Oregon inn reporters anil
editors abould brush up a little on tbe
geography of their own slute. The fol
lowing alleged interview with Ferdin
and -Nelson, the. Sun Francisco million
aire -who tried to muho a low record
by auto from the Bay City to Portland
is a case in point. : Mr. Nelson is miide
to say: - ' '
"One bad feature I wish to mention
happened just after. leaving Ashland.
About;!!! miles south of Medford we
enoountored a toll, gate-whore a fellow
charged us $1.50 to travel three miles
over the . most miserable stretch of
roadway on the entire courso.
"What impressed mo most along the
route were the numbers of people who
turned out in tho different cities to wol
, come us. I had not anticipated anything)
of the kind, and when we entered Ash
laud and found Boverul thousand persons
lined along the main street wo wondered
at the occasion until informed that we
were thea ttraction. They hnd been in
formed of our coming through the Ore
gonian. It was the same at Medford,
Grants ; Pass, Myrtle Creek, flVnirliili
and all along the route where wn passed
in the daytime. In somo places wc were
i greeted by citiaene at 2 ond B o'clock
in the morning. In Medford tho Bclinol
children wore dismissed early in the
afternoon and lined the street tn wol
come us. It was a ainht I shall never
forget, for tho little ones cheered nnd
wacved handkerchiefs and flags just
as though wo wore somo conquering
hero roturnlng from tho war."
There is no toll roud between Ashland
and Medford "about 12 miles south of
Medford" is tho city of Ashland. The
toll road complained of is near I lie Bis
kiyou summit.
The fact that school children were
dismissed early in tho afternoon to see
tbe auto in Medford Is also news to
Medford. The mnchimi arrived in Med
ford at 7:35 n. in. and left less than no
hour later.

: Oregon apple grower are nor worry
injf becfttiHC of the condition of tho up
pit murket in tho east, which if at u
low vhh. The low price ere thn remilt
of u greedy combination between the
grocers of tho middle went, New Vork
und New Kii'liiiid mid the eastern deal
era, says tho Oregoninn. lleeouse of the
fancy prices that the fruit hud been
bringing, something like six million bar
rels of apples wero put. in cold Ktornge.
They wero the worst kind of cttlls, ap
ples that would ordinarily have found
tlioij way into tho cider mills, driers,
or would have been left on the ground
to rot. Tho grower, of course, got
his money for these culls, and it was
tho dealers who lost, especially those
who paid fancy priees- for good vnrie
ties.
Poor Apples in Storage.
With the storage plants bulging witli
inferior apples, tho dealers waited un
til the high-class fruits wero thrown
on the markets. Then the dealer who
hnd bought the cheap fruit begun it 11
londiug'iinfl the result was that the bot
tom fell out of the market. Tho grade
of fruit" that was barreled and placed
cold storage began to rot just as
soon as it was taken out with the re
sult that consumers, after buying one
barrel and getting more than half rut
ten ones, ipiil buying the fruit a I to
got her. The dealers t hen found they
were overloaded, shipped apples back
west and this also killed the western
market.
Phis explanation of the apple situa
tion wns made last night by Oscar Von
lnrbilt, of Tlood River, Mr. Vanderbilt
was nt find; mystified by tho condition
of tho market, and it was not until In
had made a most searching investiga
tion that he discovered the real cause.
Dealers Well Stung.
"I think tho dealers are pretty well
satisfied now that they have been stung
good and plenty," snid Mr. Vnnderbilt.
"Home of tho growers also will discov
er that, they have been hurt, for con
timers, having refused to pay for rot
ten apples, have turned to other fruit.
The Oregon growers had no part in
t his attempted grnb. Our apples al
ways brought good prices in tho east,
and they will continue to do so,
"Another thing that hurt the macUot
was tho large crops. This year, from ac
counts I have been rearAVtig, I ho nppl
belt in the middle west has been dam
figed fully IW per cent by heavy frosts.
(dorado, our keenest competitor
boxed apples, has also suffered. The
frost which si ruck that state during
April was severe and T doubt very nine
, whetlier t tilorado will be nolo to raise
2fi per cent- of the usual crop.
"When the eastern buyers land a
Hood Itiver this fall they will have t
ateet our prices. The Fruitgrowers
union of Hood Itlver is building a large
cold storage plant, large enough to ston
the big npple crop that is coming on
and If tho prices are not right our up
pies will he stored right at home nn.
sold when the market is right."

port of the ( 'hieago bureau of slot is
t ics compiled from t he records of II"
leading citicH show an alarming increase
in tho number of suicides, particularly
within the last four months. The most
appalling feature of the report is the
statiHticul commentary on the self-inflicted
deaths of the young. Many
children of tender years have destroyed
their own lives, too miserable to live,
most of these suicides being due pri
marily to pre-natal influences. Most of
the suicides of males are attributed to
horrible economic conditions.
Dr. Meyers, tho noted anthropologist,
regards the suicide of children as
pointing to tho necessity for protect
ing prospective mothers from the de
pressing influences of unsanitary dwell
ings, insufficient nutrition and igno
raueo.
