"Wholesale plagiarism, theft of ideas, photographs and
data and deliberate falsehood mark a pamphlet issued
Ijy 'tlie Oregon Realty Unit company, a Eugene concern,
with offices at 106 East Fourth street, St. Paul, Minn.
Facts und figures regarding the Rogue River valley, pho
tographs of scenes and data from Medford orchards an
made use of and the name Willamette valley substituted
for Rogue River valley. All the local records for fruit
prices arc stolen and credited to the Willamette valley
a bold-faced swindle on the unsuspecting purchasers, vh
buy upon misrepresentation.
There are two pamphlets, one a turkey red color, with
the legend "Where dollars grow on trees" upon it. This-
title is also stolen it was the title of an article on western
orchards published in the Technical World thiB summer.
J lie other pamphlet is in folder form, and on the outci
cover is the photograph of N. S. Bennett's of Medforo
little daughter, holding up a branch of apples that first
appeared hi the Medford Commercial club's booklet tw
and one-half years ago. The same photo also illustrate.1
the' title page of the red booklet.
The facts and figures given as the records of the Wil
lamette valley were most of theln gathered and compiled
from Rogue River orchards, by the editor of The Tribune
and first used in The Tribune's Horticultural Number
afterwards in the Commercial club's booklet, then by thi
, Southern Pacific, etc.
' Records made by Helms' Ashland orchard, Hunt
Lewis' Medford orchard, the Hopkins Central' Point or
chard, the Hillcrest, Morse, Tou Velle, Phoenix, Talent
and other orchards are credited to the Willamette valley
An interview with George Kae of the firm of Rae & Hat
field, secured by The Tribune, in which Mr. Rae state..
that the "finest fruit in the United States, without ex
ccption, is produced in the Rogue River valley. The pear
from this part of Oregon are unsurpassed," is made t
read "the finest fruit in the United States without excep
tioi! is produced in the Willamette valley" which Mi
Rae never said.
Everything said of Rogue River valley fruit is appro
priated for the Willamette valley. Some Cornice pears
grown on an apple tree by Colonel Washburn at his Tabh
Rock ranch, are given as "the celebrated Du Cornice pears
so successfully grown in the Willamette valley."
"The Willamtte valley has proven beyond all doub
that it is the best fruit growing country in America, if not
in the world, for its orchards have commanded the highesi
price in the world" which is a lie, for the Willamette
valley fruit holds no records, for price or quality. Th
Spitzenberg apples grown on the Tronson & Guthrie 01
chard at Eagle Point are labeled "The famous Spitzenberg
apples so successfully grown in the Willamette valley.'
A photograph of a young orchard formerly owned by
W. 11. Holmes, near Central Point, with Holmes standing
in the foreground, is labeled "three-year-old apple orchard
near Eugene" yes, about 1200 miles from Eugene.
Even a Medford packing house is photographed foi
Eugene's benefit. In fact, every picture and every figun
in the book is stolen from Medford, except those concern
ing cherries, one in each booklet.
The mcu responsible for this theft of Medford ideas
and records for Eugene's benefit are Joseph Fellman and
E. L. Campbell of Campbell & Eellman a furniture con
cern; W. S. Moon, dealer in agricultural implements; E.
E. Mink and Charles II. Eisher of the Eugene Daily
Guard, all of whom ought to know better.
Even the plan of operation of the Oregon Realty Unit
company is stolen from that of a Medford concern, the
estern Oregon Orchard company, and nude a success by th
lauer s energy and enterprise, but never by misrepn

police declaie they are certain that oth

threats and houuditig of the murdered
attorney which preceded his asMihtjimi
tion, from motives of revenge.
Three days before his death the attor
ney made a statement to his brother, '.
fi. Fisher, in which he charged that a
certain lawyer was responsible for the
threats and calls over the telephone and
that the same person was also the au
thor of the numerous anonymous writ

mails.
Another staiding development is the
line of investigation to be pursued by
the officials. It is known that certain
officials, who wilt b? connected with the
prosecution of the case, are working on

C. Kveret -Bnlter, "ni r :--mber of
the law firm of wh' 'i 'It murdered
attorney was junior mf-mbr, is c -n-vinced
that Mr. Fisher's death was the
result of a conspiracy. Relatives of the
dead man hold the same opinion.
Proceedings against the murderer will
begin at once. The case will be pre

James A. Finch, a disbarred attorney,

Mr. Fisher never even saw the man

said "hello, Ralph." At the same In

had purchased specially for his murder

The lirst bullet struck the lawyer at
the bane of the skull. As the mortally

The murderer hesitated only long
