h Writer in Sunset Tells of
f :; Marvelous Opportunities
In Rogue River Valley
The fallowing article entitled "In
Medford 's Garden" Is by J. A. Wells in
the November Sunset:
On tuiiio orchard's edgo belong?
All the brags of plume and son.
Looking Into the encyclopedia ono of
the latest to find the coiitouciitnl
. range of the apple, wo were arrested
quickly by the senteneo: "They nre
i also raised in Oregon and California."
: After that the ruuge of information in
, the article seemed likely to bo acedemic
and not cilifyiug. Thero was a little
flavor of the rucetruck in the sentence
wo curried uwuy, but that may have
been a mutter of associated ideas,
caught from that thesaurus of wisdom,
the daily newspaper, for we have not
yet seeu a horso ruee. But the an
nouncement that in the appje race, Ore
gon "also ran" will startle tho several
sections of a state early known to fame
as the "Land of the Dig Ked Apple."
But that was in tho days of untutored
nnture, over which euine an eclipse. We
planted tho orchards and weat fishing.
Nature made the apple a thing of beau
ty to look at, but presently the worms
captured it, nnd the unplowed, tinpruned
unsprnyed, uncared for trees bccninc a
blot on the landscape.
Medford Strictly In It.
Medford has become the center of the
Rogue River valley district, nnd in
apple nnd penr production has drawn the
attention nnd excited the wonder of
half tho world. This has turned upon
the quantity r.s well as the surprisitig
quality of tho product, the yield of
the orchard in number of boxes per
ncro, and the price per box in carload
lots being quite phenomenal.
A yield in sordid gold coin of one
thousand dollars nn acre was thought
ta be the limit v. few years ago, yet the
Roguo River valley has exceeded this
in many cases, even climbing as high
. nn fifteen hundred dollars an nere.
Even the lien Davis, nr. apple whose
right to a place in good society is dis
puted year after year, has returned
over 10,000 from twenty-two acres.
Some Other Fruits.
Among pears Medford makes a rec
ord that overtops her own apples. A
carload of du Cornice penrs sold for
4(i'212.SO cross in New York, which
nuans about 17 cents n pound at v.'holi
sale, or anvwhere from 10 to lo coats
apiece for pears.
Hurtletts hold the mnsl delicious nee
t;vr distilled in nature's laboratory, but
tied in their skin; those shipped from
Medford realized fi,05 per box in Mon
treal, Cnnnila, and $1.00 oa th! Amer
ican side.
The Doyenne du Cornice is a r.hy bear
er elsewhere, but hero yields prolificul
lv. The Huerro Hose and the great
de Anion pear trees ait n ill their highost
excellence. For three years past the
latter nverimed nearly $4 per box with
no expense at harvest time snve picking
and packing.
Peaches tin v rogulurly from $100 u
per acre, the hilllops furnishing ideal
peach lands.
The cherry is at home, and the nppe
vallev of tho liogue has made a nam
f,,r itself with this delicious fruit. The
ercnt canning cherry, tho lloyal Anne,
is very popular and its production is
r.'-pidly increasing.
The Blenheim aprieo!, often a shy
bearer, succeeds here, nnd has no bet
tor representative in nnv country. It
can safely bo chosen ns n money-maker,
heinir oonular everywhere.
The Tokay and Concord grape have
been tried liere. and the hill lands are
admirably suited, giving color and fin
vor. There is no renson why many
Enronenn varieties should not thrive
nn these low foothills, the climate be
ing drv, the air free from humidity
and the rainfall slight.
Markets and the Future,
Oregon produced last, yenr apples to
the value of $l,t.l.SOO, dried prunes
worth $1,203,875, nad other fruits suf
ficient to make n total of $4,27i,lS5.
This is an increaso of.r3 per cent over
the crop of 1000, and at the present
rate of planting it will take but n few
vears to reach a value of .f.iU.OOO.OUU.
A market for Oregon apples is found
in the east, in England. Scotlnnd, an
(lermanv, nnd is being developed across
tho Pacific, several thousand boxes bo-
inir sent nnnuallv to Vladivostok
Will production outrun tho market!
Hardlv. A hopeful sign of the times
is the increasing consumption or fruit
Fruit Lands and Prices.
Iinmedint.lv around Medford first
clas lands readv for the plow can he
bought for $130 and ?A0 per acre, with
an upward slant an me nmr. .,
not lnnd eounllv good can bo bought
f, 100. nnd a little farther out for
. It is a matter of distance from
the railroad rather than of the quality
of the land or of water for irrigation
There are bottom lands of black loam
King along the Regno and other moun
tain streams, and hill slopes which are
not onlv fertile, but where the rod
cneeked Spit takes or. a deep. dark,
splendid rid, and with the yellow New
town T'ippin, makes a bouquet of color
on the table. These lands have beea
tri.il. and it is known exactly what they
will do. and transportation will take
euro of itself if a district so developed
is nwny from tho railroad.
A Sportsmen's Land.
For tho true hunter nnd fishermna
the woods and streams about Medford
nro a paradise. Quail, grouse. Chinese
pheasnnts, dnck nnd snipo nrc near by;
black tailed deer are in tho mountains,
and farther back in the less frequented
rgioni the black and cinnamon bear
are plentiful. A few silvertips may also
tie found, and cougars, gray fox and
the coyote.
Kogue river is a fine trout stream
and as compared with Nova Scotia,
New Brunswick, Maine and Canada
woods and streams, the fisherman who
also a philosopher and a lover of
the great and beautiful will greatly
profer these western wilds. The fact
tliat hero he caa count on the weather,
that the days nre not rainy, the nights
not muggy, and the streams not infest
ed with gnats and mosquitoes, adds im
mensely to the enjoyment. It takes a
good deal of enthusiasm or grim reso
lution to whip a trout stream and fight
lusects every instant, nnd then return
to camp only to find a cloud of mos
quitoes waiting your advont. Fishing
uvolvea toil, but it should mean en
joyment and not battle, and when the
charm of these Pacific coast streams
is understood, tho east will scud many
a representative of a noble brotherhood
try for trout aud snlmou in these
hills.
Shall It bo an orchard in tho vallev,
with tho scent of blossoms, the aroma
the ripe fruit, and visions of ducats.
or n tont by the laughing stream, the
campfire with its pungent fragrance,
and a trout broiled in the coals; a bed
of boughs, the morning bath, and leis
ure to find yourself in the tranquil
solitudes of the forest, away from the
friction of civilized conditions! Happy
the man who can havo both the orchard
and the tent in tho forest!

LINCOLN, Nob., Nov. 7. William
Tonningtf Bryan has issued the following
statement:
"The election IiiTh gone against us by
decisive majority. Tho returns are not
all in, and it is impossible nt present to
analyze them or to sav what causes con
tributed most to tlve republican victory.
We made our fight upon a platform
which embodies what wo believed to be
good for the American people, but it is
for tho people themselves to decide
what laws thev desire nnd what meth-
m 1 1 mi i mi. i HJf J .
faith that the pnbueitv which we asked i
for will vet commend itself to tho Amer
ican people, that the election of sena
tors by the people will be secured, that
tho iniquities of tho trusts will arouse
an opposition that will result in the
imination of the principle of private
monopoly. I am confident that the peo
ple will see the necessity for the labor
legislation and the tariff reduction
which our platform demanded. T am con
fident, too, that the oduentional work
done in this campaign will result in
securing greater protection to bank de
positing. The nbove nre the most promi
nent reforms for which wo labored, and
t believe that those reforms will yet
ome, together with moro effective reg
ulation of railroads nnd Independence
for the Philippines.
Commends Committee.
"T desire to commend the work of
onr national committee. T am entirely
satisfied with Mr. Mack as the chairman
and with the members of the co'mmittee,
T do not see what fVy could have done
more than they did. and ns for myself, T
put forth every effort in my power to
secure victory for our cause. The nom
ination came from the hands of the
voters. T have obeyed their oemmand
aud led as best T could. Words will not
express my gratitude for the devotion
which has lnen shown by millions of
democrats during tho past 12 years.
Neither am T able t.i adequately express
my appreciation fur Hie kind words
which have been spoken since the elec
tion. Tf T eot.ld regard tho defeat as
a puri'ly personal one. T would con
sider it a bh'ssing rather than n misfor
tune, for T am relieved of the burdens
and responsibilities of nn office that is
attractive only in proportion ns it gives
an opportunity to reuder a large public
service. Tint T shall serve ns willingly
in n private capacity ns in a public ono.
Clod does not require great things of
Tin onlv requires that we improve
tho opportunities for service presented
hy private life.
In this hour of national defeat Ij
find some consolation in the cordial
support given by my neighbors, by the
citizens of Lincoln, nnd by the people
if Hie state of Nebraska. With n dem
ocratic governor nnd n democratic leg
islature, we shall bo able to pat into
practice so much of the democratic plat
form ns relates to state legislation, and
I trust that onr state will set an exam
ple that will be an influence for good
unto tho nation."
