OREGON FRUIT
IS
GOMPERS PUIS
CIRCULAR
State: Board ol Hortlcul-j Labor Partisan to a Prin
ture Meets in Portland- Gipal, and Not to Any
1908 Crop is Good Political Party
PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 14. Several
important elements of interest to the
fruitgrowing industry the fourth in
ice in the state develop. at the semi
annual meeting of the stneo board of
horticulture Among them was the
sounding of the death knell of the cod
ling .moth, whoBe eompleto extermina
tion in this state was prncticnlly pre
dicted 4a' the biennial report of Presi
dent '.W.t K. Newell; another was the
prediction that in a few years the
fruit markets-of the orient will have
been developed to such a degree that it
will exhaust the fruit industry of the
entire Pacific northwest to satisfy the
demand. Still another was the showing
by reports-from the different district
commissioners that acre for aero Ore
gen will produce more net revenue in
applene, pears, peaches and grapes than
any other class of farming by the use
of' modern methodB and proper skill.
Ajsothec was the fact that Oregon ap
ples, under present highly developed
mathods of culture, aro eliminating com
petition of eastorn products, where two
and one-half bushel barrels of this fruit
are bringing lower prices than single
boxes do in this Btate.
1908 Crop Good.
It was brought out at the meeting
that the 1!)08 fruit crop would about
hold itB'-own with the inonrd-brenkiiip;
yield of 1907, when the total value of
the product in all lines was $4,27.1,000,
as 'estimated by President Newell. A
number of conditions have contributed
tor-holding the money value of the out
puf down,- and at the Bnme time it
may appear when the crops aro all har
vested that last year's figures may be
largely 'exceeded. Mr. Newell. and his
district commissioners were loth to give
any .Jetailed estimates at this time on
that grounds that whatever estimates
they might make would be merely guess
work, but when it is considered that
the. aluo of Oregon fruit for commerc
ial tiBe has increased from $1,400,00 in
1900 to $4,000,000 in 1907, all members
of the board regard it as a remarkable
showing that 1908 should hold its own.
Ono of the conditions that figure in
the totals is the great slump in the dry
prune pack. Last year tho pack was
25,450,000, valued at 1,20S,0(IO, while
thiB year it wil not go in excess of 17,
500,000 with nn cverngo price of nut
far from 5 cents. This is only a two
tUrd crop, and will cut the value of the
entire fruit crop of tho state down
pretty close to 10 per cent.
Shortage in Peaches
Big shortages aro also noted in the
reports from all sections in the pencil
and ptnr crops, the value of these two
crops last year being considerably in
excess of $300,000. As against this
there, has been light yield in most
classes of fruit, but with tho increased
acreage and a marked stiffening in
the apple market just now taking effect
the averngo of last year is likely to be
maintained, but it will devolve upon
the apple districts and the small fruit
sections to make good tho deficiency.
Even! tho financinl unpleasantness of
lasttfnll had a depressing effect on the
fruit market, as shown by reports read.
But tho situation is most promising
in all lines," say the commissioners, for
the acreage is steadily increasing, and
relentleB warfare being waged agninst
codling moths, scale, scab, all forms of
fnugus disease and other pests in bring
ing -splendid results. The board is con
fident that the moth wil be practi
cally eliminated as a mennco to the
fruit culturist if the present policy is
continued.
Chief points in President Newell 's report-were:
Eastern districts show a
better crop than western and southern.
There is more spraying with better re
sults. The peach crop ia the Rogue
Dive valley is vory large. Open fires
and-smudffca havo helped greatly
gainst oarly frosts. ITood River and the
Qmnd Rondo havo full crops of high
quality aples, but only a two-third
crop of prunes. Eastern buyers tried
toiforco consignments of apples, but
one buyer broko the corner nnd the
prices are soaring. He urged Hint grow
ere pack nothing but tho very bout np
pies -end to sell the culls to the cider
mill fir pig trougn.
'In performing a solemn duty at this
time in support of a political party, la
bor does not become partisau to a po
litical party but a partisan to princi
ple," declared Presideat Gompers of
the American Federation Labor in a
circular issued regarding labor's atti
tude in the campaign . He charges that
the republican party and its candidates
stand for further extending into this
country a despotic government vested
in tho judiciary and that the demo
cratic party and its candidates &tand for
government bv law vested ia the peo-
pie. ;
Tho circular is addressed to "Men of
labor, lovers of hiiniaa liberty," and
says ill "part:
"Tho judicinry, induced by corpora
tions nnd trusts and protected by the
republican party, is step by step de
stroying government by law : ad sub
stituting therefore a government by
judges, who determine what, in their
opinion is wrong, what is evidenco,
who iH guilty and whnt tho punish
ment shall be. This revolution is de
priving the workers of their rights as
citizens and will inevitably bo made
applicablo to the business men later.
This virus nnd poison has ill several
instances invaded upon the legislative
fields by mnkiug laws which may be
enforced by equity process. Despotic
power under the ermine is ns danger
ous as despotic power nndor the
crown."
The circular refers to Judgo Tnft as
"the originator and specific champion
of discretionary government," : and
(iompors reiterates that "thero is no
political office ia the gift of tho Amer
ican people, elective or appoiativ", that
under any circumstances I would ac
cept.
PORTLAND WILL NOT DROP
OUT OF COAST LEAGUE
SAN FRANCISCO, Cul., Oct. 14.
The Pacific Const league will be made
up of six clubs next season nnd all the
taTk about eight teams or the possibil
ity Pol Hand running out nnd join
ing forces with the Northwestern league
dnesoiut go. This comes right off the
.bat from President Ewing, and when he
spoke the other day, he declared his
utterances were voicing tho sentiments
of the other officers and magnates of
the league.
Ewing has abandoned his idea of forc
ing Manager Ibigdnle of Seattle into
line, nnd instead of attempting to fight
him, Ewing will enter into an agree
aient with him whereby a big combin
ation will be brought off in tho year
1910. According to Ewing, Dugdale has
agreed to this. When the big deal has
b.-eti made, the hopes of Ewing will
have been realized nnd the Pacific
Coast league circuit will comprise eight
clubs five California teams and three
in the northwest. At present Seattle is
sure to break in, while both Tacomn
and Spokane have a chalice with the
odds about even up.

The transfer was Hindu through the
agency of McWilliams nnd Powell and
the consideration is understood to be
in the neighborhood of $10,000. These
gentl'-men are Coloradoans and have
been looking about in this vicinity for
tho past two weeks. Mr. Lincbarger
is vice president of the First National
Bank of Sedgwick, nnd Mr. Cunningham
has ben connected with extensive lum

returned east, but the latter expects
to come back before long and occupy
this property, while the former will
probably take lip his residence in this
locality later on. Tidings.
