A city can he built up by "boosting" aiul stagnated by
"knocking."
As the result of "knocking," a successful triple attempt
at suicide has heen made in Med ford hy a prospective incr
chant, discouraged by the pessimistic prospects present e
by the knockers.
This merchant came here last spring, was charmed by
city and vaUey, impressed with the opportunities offered
and determined to enter the commercial field. He re
turned, rented a store and purchased a stock.
He lore the stock arrived, the anvil chorus began. Tin
frailly of human nature is such ih;it sometimes a litth
discouraging talk will produce on sensitive minds, des
pondency, despair and insanity.
In this case there was no question
"Whether 'tis nobler
In the. mind to suffer the slings and arrows
Of outrageous fortune, or to take arms
Against a sea of t roubles, and, by opposing,
Knri them."
There was nothing noble about it. The deed was the
of life and

RAISING Or SMALL

Wo have in Oregon ideal condition,

development of more markets, the build
nit oi ini'iitioiuti canneries and syrii
lactones, the demand will increase v
materially. I here ih not a count v in
the stale but can uruw some or all of
t lie small fruits to perfection.
There are ho many varieties of tit raw

drained In western Oregon subsoils con

while iti eastern Oregon this is not ho
necessary, as irrigation is generally re

(Oregon Agriculturalist )
"I'erhaps h is just as well that some
of the owners of young cherry orchards
in Oregon are pulling up their trees
Many of these who aro doing so prob
ably planted without giving the matter
duo thought and study. The whole
country over it has always been the rule
that a very large majority of the fruit
trees are planted to fail of results.
There are always many times the mini
ber of fruit trees which would be need
ed to supply all possible demands if
llo-y had been planted with good judg
incut and received the proper care. As
it is, the supply of roully marketable
fruit does not often exceed the demand.
As laud becomes more valuable and
fanning more intensive and scientific,
this condition will gradually pass away
The communities that make the lo
progress in the use of the best incilo
of growing and marketing fruits w
in tune take the business of raising
fruit for market from tho distri
where the rate of progress is slower
