COMPARISON OF ORCHARD DISTRICTS.
Elsewhere in this issue is published the Southern Pa
cific estimate of fruit plauting and harvest in Oregon.
According to these figures,
the Roinie River vallev aKut
in a normal year 500 care of fruit, will ship within five
years at least 5000 cars, over twice the present output of the
entire state.
In ten years, shipments from Medford district will total
10,000 cars, based onlv upon
ing planted. The planted
Medford now comprises one
area of Oregon, and indications are that, in spite of plant
ing in Willamette and Umpqua and other valleys, the area
of orchards planted annually here will more than offset
those in other sections maintaining the present ratio and
making the Rogue River valley the greatest fruit section
in the state.
North Yakima, Wash., lias

Wenatchee has 6000 acres of
000 acres of young trees. Hood River has 9000 acres of
bearing orchards, and 12,000 acres of young orchards.
North Yakima has much available fruit land not plant
ed, several thousand acres.
acres available. Hood River
not planted. The Rogue River valley has several thou
sand acres, so that it is a race
and the Rogue River valley as
the largest fruit section in area.
On one point, however, there is no race, and that is the
quality of the fruit produced by the tw sections. Rogue
River Newtowns and Spitzcnburgs command higher prices
and are of finer quality than those from either Wenatchee
or Yakima, while for quantity aud quality of pears, the
Rogue River valley beats all
binod. In value of product, acre for acre, the Medford
district holds its own with any orchard region on earth
and surpasses most of them.

8ATS REUOION IS NOT
OP A DIVINE ORIGIN
CHICAOO, Dec. 10. Professor George
Foster of the University of Chicago
divinity school, whoso higher criticisms
of the Itilile havo agitata orthodot
Christianity, told the budding clerymen
of the school today that religion was
not of divine or miraculous origin. "It
is not a religion from a god," said ho,
"but an achievement of man, who cre
ated hia own gods, in ancient times, in
order that he might havo them to help
him in his defenselcssness and igno
ranee. To aid him In conquering his
foes and to ilisol tho darkneaa of his
future and the fear of death.
"More and more people are giving up
the idea that their religion ia something
handed down to them from a divine
si.uree. They are coming to see that

DID DAOO PRINCE WANT
MORE THAN LLKINS PUT UP?
WASHINGTON, Doc. 10. There
a peraistent story current that financial
disagreements stand in tho way of the
Abrozzi-F.lkiiis ninrrlngo. It la under
stood here that tho eiiectnti(ina of the
Italian relatives of Ahrnzzi were some
taing enormous. A representative of
the Italian government made a trip
iw me r.mine and Pans properties in
est irginia nnd innde a report of
some kind to the king of Italy. The
understanding (hero waa that Senator
Klkina and his wealthy father in law
owned an estate which was as large as
some Kingdoms nnd could nfford to pay
any amount into the royal treasury as
dower. It is intimated that tho minor
relatives expected that this sum would
he snfficient to give all comfortable for
tunes.
When it was learned on this sido that
the money was not all to go to the
bridal pair the "no" became emphatic
It is understood here that Senator El
Kins early decided that he would not
speak until he could do so in a eonclu
sive way, and when he did speak, he
felt that the matter was ended.
TEDDY WANTS OUN THAT
WILL MAKE A BANO
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. President
Roosevelt will note use a noiseless gun
in Africa. He says it is no fun to shoot
wun a gun witl out n bang. He is in
favor of a Krag. Experienced African
shooters say that a steel nosed bullet
will not stop a big animal. What
needed is a soft nosed bullet, which will
spread and stop a charging animal. The
president favors the army rifle and the
army bullet, but those who understand
big game shooting say that he will come
around to the big bullet.
Anyway, there is nothing doing for
in noiseless rifle.
