COAST APPLE
CROP LEADS
Returns From All Over
the United States Tells
of Barren Orchard Yields
Moro and practically complete infor
mation in regard to the apple crop
from all parts of the United States
and Canadn received here gives added
indications that Oregon should receive
a highly profitable figure for its apple
crop this year. It is stated, however,
by apple men who are well posted, that
eastern buyers are to some eteut stand
ing together this year in the hope of
securing the fancy coast box apples for
prices that will be Ichs than crop con
ditions warrant. There is no question
they say of the sujtorior quality of this
year's crop, both in Oregon and Wash
ington, and of the fact that it ought
to command high prices.
So far enstern buyers who have been
at Hood River have refused to discuss
prices for this year. They claim that
they paid too much money for apples
last year, and for that reason will not
contract for any crops until later. They
admit, though, that they must have
fancy western box fruit and have been
holding off until a complete report
could be received from the apple grow
ing districts of the United States and
Canada.
Crop Decrease in East.
The reports just received show that
the erop-iu the Hudson river valley and
New York state, considered the biggest'
factor in price making for high quality
apples, is only average. It is reported
as being slightly more than that of last
year, but far below that of 1006.
In the New England states I he crop
is a light one. Maine reports a yield of
but one-quarter of last year's crop, and
Pennsyvania 60 to 73 per cent of a full
crop in some sections, and but 2.r in
others. Michigan, a big competitor in
tho apple market, reports a nmch small
er crop thna last year, while Ohio and
West Virginia will have practically no
winter apples. ' Reports from Illinois
say the outlook is for a fair crop in the
western part of the state, and almost a
failure or not over 10 per cent in other
sections. Fifty per cent is the esti
mate given for the crop in Iown.
In the Middle West.
Trie crop in Benton county, Arkansas,
which under normal conditions ships
moro apples than any county in the
United Stntes, will be but 10 to 15 per
cent of a full crop, and It is estimated
that not over 2r enrs will be shipped
this year from this great apple-growing
district. In other parts of the state the
crop is reported as practically a failure.
Reports from nil jiarts of Missouri show
a light crop or almost a total failure.
Tho Ozark fruit belt in this state, which
last year alone shipped 40,000 barrels
ol apples, does not expect to ship out
over 2f00 this year. Kansas reports are
for 25 to 50 per cent of a crop. Coin
rado reports a 20 per cent crop in the
Grand Junction district, with but 10
per cent in others.
Nex Mexico has n 120,000 bushel crop
in tho Pecos valley and Utah also re
ports a full crop of fine quality apples.
At Watsonville, f:al, a ,'KIOO-car crop
is reported, which is only average for
that district as this is 500 cars less
than was Bhippcd from there in 100(1,
but a much heavier shipment than that
of 1907.
The Pacific Slope.
In tho northwest stnteB a good aver
age crop is reported from Idaho. In
Washington, Wenatchee expecs to make
a bigger shipment than last year ay
200 cars, while that at Yakima is re-
norted to be in the neighborhood of
1400 cars, us against 550 last year. In
Oregon, Hood River will lead all other
districts with a 400 to fiUO-car crop;
Medford, Ashland, Grants Pass and oth
er southern Oregon points are expected
to furnish .100 to 400 more, while the
Willamette valley, eastern Oregon and
tno smaller apple growing districts in
the state we thought to be good for .100
cars. In all it is expjeeted that from
1200 to 1500 cars of fine quality apples
will be shipped from the state this year.
Record Shipments.
This will constitute the biggest ship
ment ever made from Oregon, but no
apprehension is felt in regard to jrtiecs
on that account. In fact it . expected
that the light crop generally over Uie
United States except in Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho, Utah and California, will
make better prices for apples in these
states than was at first expected. In
addition indications are -t a strong
denu-cd f ,r nppM (: exp;.;i i-Mrposes.
As competitors 'or the latter honor the
crops of Nova Scotia and Canada tre
the only districts thi- cut much of a
figure this year. Rerts from there,
however, indicate that the crop will not
be any larger than Inst vai. The pros
pects 'for the export tra.V; hive aW
been strengthened by hot weather and
other causes, which have seriously af
fected the apple erops in England and
on the continent, and authorities on
the Knropenn demand ?. Antirienn ap
ples predict that ! w II he fully fred

LADIES' BALL TEAM MEETS
LOCAL BOYS TOMORROW
The Lias-' ball game billed for tomor
row afternoon promises to be a good
one. The ladies, whom the Medford
team will play, have made quite a rep
utation on the coast this season. Word
comes from Eugene, where they have
played, that the girls have a strong
team, and they are hard to beat. It is
said the first baseman of the girls'
team (a woman of large proportions)
is the source of much comedy and good
n at u rod humor.
ROSEBUEQ WILL PAVE
EIGHTEEN MORE BLOCKS
ROSEBURO, Or., August 10. Or.li
nance authorizing the paving of IS
blocks of streets and the flotation of
$:I5,II00 worth of bonds to defray 50
per cent of the cost thereof, as well as
the total cost of a concrete-steel bridge
over Peer creek, which runs through
the northern part of the city, were
passed by the Roseburg council Monday
night. Hids for the improvement work
and on the bond issue are now adver
tised, and it is expected actual paving

The ltoseburg Commercial club yes
terday awarded a contract for erection
of an advertising exhibit building on
the Southern Pacific depot premises.

tween 7 and 0. Two of the little fol
lowed weighed six pounds, while the
third tipped the scales at five and a
half pounds. The mother and babes
are doing finely, while the father de
dans his Hay harvest is wonderful.

A DESERT PERIL
The Dtsdly Clear Watsr of the Death
Valley Peels.
"One of the chief (laagers to travel
en in crossing such dreary and arid
wastes as the far famed Death valley
arises from ignorance as to the char
acter of the Infrequent pools of water
along the route." said a mining eugl-
ner of Denver.
"The tenderfoot, growing faint un
der a biasing aun, will want to quench
hti Intolerable thirst when be cornea
to a shallow hole whose water, clear
as crystal, seems. absolutely pure. He
can with difficulty be restrained from
drinking it by some experienced com
panion, who knows that oue draft
will probably cause serious If not
fatal Illness. This water, for all Its
seeming purity and clearness. Is loaded
with arsenic, aud many a mau has lost
his life by Its use.
Curiously enough, the only water lu
the desert that la safe to drink la foul
looking and Inhabited by bugs and
snakes. When you come to a uiuddy
pool on the surface of which Insects
are disporting themselves, however re
pulsive It may be, both to the eye and
palate, you may drink It with Im
punity, despite Its looks, as a man will
who Is crazy with thirst produced by
the burning Bauds aud merciless aun."

London, I heard George Bernard Shaw

public schools," suld a Chicago editor.
He attacked these schools. He said
you learned nothing lu them. He told
of a young peer to whom a certain
master at Eton said:
"'1 am ashamed of you, unable to
work out so simple a problem! Vour
younger brother did It correctly an
tour ago.'
"'I am sorry, sir,' the boy replied.
