APPLE MEN HAVE NOT
YET ASKEQrOR
BIDS
What Oregun apples will be worth
at the opening of the market for the
staple fruit crop thiB fall is for the
present a matter of speculation,- and
fruit men have various views of the
situation, says the Telegram. On the
wnole it would seem that the prospect
ib not quite bo favorable as at this
time a year ago, though the high qual
ity of the Oregon fruit this year will
be a factor in the fixing of prices.
There is a fair average crop this year
in practically the apple stales of the
Union, with a showing distinctly above
the average in some or the western
states, notably in Oregon, and here also
the fruit this year will grade a little
higher than usual. LaRt year apples were
more or less a failure in many of the
Atlantic nud middlo western states
whore this year there is generally a
full crop.
It is estimated that the total yield of
apples in tho United States this year
will l)e 5H(000,000 barrels.
The Hood River growers have not yet
asked for bids for their fall crop. In
view of tho situation generally and the
fnct that the crop is of fair size through
out the country, they are waiting for
developments. It is probable that with
in a short time they will ask for offers
for their apples. Until then it will be
impossible to more than guess at what
the fruit will bo worth. Hood River is
this year promised the heaviest output
of npplesi in its history, and the quality
of the fruit was never better.
In tho apple districts of southern Ore
gon und tho Willamette, valley the mar
ket outlook 'is about the same. Some
o fgthose districts depend almost whol
ly upon the Atlantic coast and Euro
pean mnrkets, whereas Hood River ships
both to the east and orient.
As an outlet for Oregon apples the
orient is growing in importance every
year, nud this season the chances are j
that more fruit than ever will go across i
the Pacific. T'p to this year the trade
in the orient has been confined largely
to Siberian and Munchurinn points,
with Vladivostok as tho main distribut
ing center. Last season small shipments
were made to Shanghai and Hongkong,
and this year heavier consignments will ,
be made to those points, and the mar
ket in China will consequently bo ex- ;
tended. i
While the Hood River and other grow-
ers aro for the present making no effort
to dispose of their late crop, they are
marketing here and elsewhere a good
ninny of their earily apples, and the
local market for the timo is well sup
plied with Astrachnns. Oravensteins and
other sorts. The best of these now sell
at $1.50 a box, while common apples
go at prices as low as 75 cents.
INDIAN CHIEF WILL
PETITION GOVERNMENT
SAX ttKRXARDINO, Cat., August 21.
Captain ,T. Cabazou of the Saltan
JiaHin Indian reservation is hero today
framing an appeal to the government
authorities at Washington to help hie
tribesmen, who have been made desti
tute by the encroachment of tho waters
of the Halt on sea on their property.
The Indinns of the Snlton Sink have
been homeless for months, says Chief
Cabazon, and he thinks that the gov
ernment should take measures to protect
them or aid them to find new lands.
' Lit tie fishes swim through the
branches of the big trees," says Chief
Cabazon, ' and waters rush over the
places whi-re we and our ancestors have
slumbered for generations. We believe
that by telling the government, our
losses will be adjusted and we will not
lose our lands. ' '
WOODVILLE ITEMS.
-Much clearing is being done by the
Bottlers along Evans creek preparatory
to planting fruit. The soil is pronounc
ed to be of the best and this section
will soon be among the foremost fruit
growing centers in the valley.
The California Lumber company has
just completed the erection of a sawmill
on Evans creek, seven miles above
WoodviUe. A box factory is in course
of erection for the same company at
the WoodviUe station. A large ship
ment of machinery ior it arrived last
week.
C, Sams, the leading fruit grower of
WoodviUe, visited Med ford Wednesday.
He and his family have just returned
from a delightful outing at Crescent
City, Cal., where among other pas
times they amused themselves by shoot
ing at the sea lions. They brought back
also a plentiful snpply of venison, which
they procured on their return trip.
Tiie Bagley Improvement company,
owners of a large tract of land adjoin
ing the WoodviUe tuwnsite, have had
a crew of men and a stump puller at
work for nearly a year clearing the
land, sawing up tho logs in their own
sawmill and chopping tho smaller stuff
into firewood. This fall and next
spring they expect to plant a total of
400 acres to apples and pears.
REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

2000
Fish Talcs From Central Point.
Some good catches aro reported by
local anglers who hie themselves to the
turbulent riffles of the Regno these
days.
Postmaster Tex landed a couple of
big ones tho other evening, while Rural
Carrier Jim Grieve landed 100 or less
of the smaller vintage. Tex and Ern
est Hathaway were out last evening and
it is expected they fished the river
drv.
Professor F. F. Cooper has already
proven himself a past master of the
angling art by landing a ItO-pounder the
other morning before breakfast. If he
proves to be as adept at flogging boy's
and hammering the rule of three into
the youthful cranium ns he in with hook
and line there will be something doing
in the big new red schoolhouse before
the coming term is over.
Our regular fish editor is on duty
next week, when n full report of mat
ters piscatorial may be expected. Her-old.
CIGARETTES SMOKED LAST
YEAR TOTAL 55,402,330,113
RATES FROM MT. HEBRON
SAID TO BE EXCESSIVE
KLAMATH FALLS. Or., August 21.
Stockmen of this section who ship to
the Oakland market complain about
the high rate that the Southern Pacific
charges from Jit. Hebron, and they
state that they can save money by
driving to Montague, in Shasta valley.
Tho rate from Mt. Hebron to Sacra
mento is such that it is cheaper to ship
from there than to drive to the Shasta
valley point, but there is no obpject in
driving to Mt. Hebron in order to ship
stock to Oakland, for the rate is so
high that the shippers find it profit
able to drive the stock across the hill
into Shasta valley. The rate from
Montague per car is $70 to Oakland,
while that from Mt. Hebron to the
same place is $09.12.
WILL MAKE DIRT FLY
EARLY NEXT WEEK
KT.jVMATH FALLS, Or.. August 21.
W. II. Mason, who was awarded the
contract for the construction of the
seven-mile extension on the South
Branch canal, is mustering his forces
and expects to make the dirt fly by
the first of next week. He has until
December 15 to complete the contract,
but it is his intention to put on force
enough to have it finished by the mid
dle of October.
FALSE TEETH IN
SALMON'S STOMACH
ASTORIA, August 'Jl, Salmon will
it nnvthimr. it seems. One of them wo
caught yesterday which seemed to be
unusually vicious and it was unusually
large. During tho process of putting
Mr. Salmon through the regular chan
nels for commercial purpose and later
to be put on the market, a set of upper
false teeth was found in the fish 's
stomneh. It is believed that the teeth
were lost overboard from some sea go
ing veve1.
WASHINGTON, August 21, There
were ;;i,-iu,;i,iu,i i.t cigarettes siuokcu
in the Pnited States during the last
fisral vear, according to government
statistics just issued 25,000,000 is per
ms a fair estimate of the number of
men and bovs in this country who smoke
tobacco. So, on the average, each
smoker consumed 2.210 cigarettes last
year, or l( 1-14 n day, the fraction
representing the very small butt a cig
arette smoker throws away.
Hut of tho 25,000,0(10 smokers many
million smoke cigars or pipes nud some
smokers roll their own cigarettes. So
the average number each cigarette
smoker consumes daily must be higher
than 0 1-14. The government statisti
cian:! are very proud of their accuracy
in carrying out a figure so high as
fifty five thousand four hundred mill
ions to the very last number l.'t.
Perhaps there is a warning to cigarette
smokers in these last two figures.
Anyhow, the cigarette habit is grow
ing tremendously in this country.
Human Ear 160 Years Old.
Way bark about the full of 18JW it
happened that Franklin K. Stark, 85
years old, hale and hearty, cherished a
great pride nVl affection for his little
grandson, then 5 years of age. This
grandson became careless when riding
on tho hayrack ono day, fell off into
the wheel and had his right ear cut off
Hose, to his head.
The old grand father came forward
then, revealing his true nobleness of
character. Said he: 4 'Son, I am an old
man and will soon die. Vanity is al
ready dend in my breast. Have tliip
new German expert cut off my ear and
graft it on your head."
The operation was done successfully
and the grandson was SO years old last
Saturday, August 15. He says the ear
is doing fine, thanks to the liberal use
of Colestin Mineral Water,
