George Rae of Rae & Hat
field Tells of the Market
Conditions and Prospects
for Apples and Pears
"Thorn promises tn ho :i i'air mar
ket fur Oregon fruit in the east t his
year," slates fienrge Hat' of t ho firm
of Kan & Hatfield of New Yolk and
London, Ihe largest buyers niid sellers
of cboico and fancy fruit iu the world,
who is on his annual inspection trip of
the liogue River valley. -Mr. Kan is
the pioneer handler of lioxt'd apples
and has secured the highest price on
record fur fruit in the Now York mar
kets, the carload of Comieo pears sold
from the Lewis orchard at Med ford in
September, 1907, for .fltj.80.
"No ono can foretell conditions now,
but times are steadily improving iu the
east, and while the high prices prevail
ing last yeur will not I)l reached, good
average returns are indicated, ' ' con
tinued Mr. Rue. ' ' California had hut
few pears last year, hut this year the
crop is heavy.
'"V Apples iu Storage Still.
"There aro lim.noi) barrels of apples
iu cold storage iu Xew York that will
never he sold and will be a. complete
loss to the brokers owning them. The
southern peach crop ripened three weeks
earlier than usual, and there is a tre
mendous ,erop, which has flooded the
market ami killed the sale of apples.
The peaches bring from less than
freight charges to $1.50.
"I have had any number of inquiries
as to the result of the publication of
the photograph of the check sent Mr.
Lewis for his record ear of pears. They
write asking my advice as to fruit land
and for confirmation of the sale. 1
always reply that if it is simply for
fruit raising or speculation, no place
in the country compares with the Rogue
River valley.
Panic Felt In East.
"The panic, has been much more se
vere, in Ihe east than you have any
idea of in the west,", concluded Mr.
Rae. "There aro half a million men
seeking work iu New York today. II
hit the fruit men hard. The rich were
the first to feel hard times, and il
knocked the bottom out of the sales of
fancy fruit.. One man who purchased
some of the Lewis Cornice pears at
$8 and over a box sold them for about
$1.60 a box. Hut times are getting bet
ter aud a fair market is promised."
Mr. Rae will remain several days.

Editor's Independent Party
Deserted by Gompers
Bryan Scored by Yellow
Journalist
WASHINGTON, .Inly 17. Hoarst s
reply to (lumpers, scorning the labor
leader's suggestion 1hat ho support the
discredited and decadent "old demo
cratic party" was the subject of heated
liscussion at the- lie:tdcuarlers of of
Ihe American Federation of Labor here
today. It is believed that the editor's
stand will result in a split between the
labor people and the ludepeiuleiu-o
league.
In reply to a message from dampers
asking that the Independence party be
abandoned ami that he unite forces
with the democrats, Hearst said that
while he was not authorized to speak
for his party, he personally was opposed
to such a step. lie declared that he
t hough t pure patriotism consisted iu
helping lubor to establish a party which
would be devoted to t he interests of
citizenship, and particularly to the ad
vancement and advantage of the pro
ducer classes. He expressed his oppo
sition tit endorsing candidates "who
change the color of their party wit h
every opportunity. ' '
Closing, he says: "I have lost faith
in the professions of t lie degenerated
democracy. I have lost confidence in
the ability, in the sincerity aud integ
rity of its leadors."
OPEN-AIR BAND CONCERT
ENJOYED BY BIG CROWD
The second of the open air summer
concert by the Mod ford band was giv
en in the park last evening. The crowd
which flocked to hear it was larger if
anything than that of last week, and
nearly all remained to (he end, although
owing to t he late hour of starting it
made a long e veiling out of doors.
The entire program, which contained
several new pieces, seemed thoroughly
enjoyed. The rendering of the final
nit m her, the grand select ion from
"Fausr," was the best from the mu
sicians' standpoint, and the excellence
which the hand displayed was fully up
preciated.
The water tower, which was used
as a sound reflector for the new hand
stand displayed an uulooked for proper
ty, that of carrying the sound up and
over the crowd and throwing it several
blocks away.
For this reason, last evening's music
sounded unaccountably faint to many
on the outskirts of the park.
The uext concert will be one week
from tonight.
