THE MEDFOBI) DAILY TRIBUNE:, MED FORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, i908. FBUIT BROKERS SAY FRUIT IS INFERIOR THIS YEAR W. Dennis Bonn, fruit brokers, of Loud mi, in their la tout report on the apple market Buy: - . - 11 Wo have now ne"n the first arrival of Oregon NVw towns on this market and havo to reinrrt with much regret that the quality of the fruit in infe rior to what it haH bueu In provious years, Jt may be, however, that the earlier arrivals ure the greener fruit and color may hq expected with sub sequent arrivals. We sincerely hope this may ha so, as the fruit we liavo seen does nut stand out sufficiently to com innnd the attention of the best trade. , "Them have been on the market this week 2li00 or 3000 boxes of Oregon Kewtnwns which were considerably fin er fruit than that from your district, notwithstanding whirl) they were sold by onr neighbors at the low price of from 0 to 12 shillings per box, a price which, in our opinion, was too low, but which has had tho effect of attracting the buyers away from the lower quality Oregon fruit. We are strongly of opin ion tahnt there is nothing to be gained by forcing sales, and we therefore re frain from pushing out the stuff at a lower price than that which wo think it ought to command.. "The trade for apples continues bad. Supplies up to now have been in excess of the demand, and tho market has nev er been clear. We cannot think that this can last much longer. Hnrrel apple , stock, both in Ontario and America, is i in much smaller supply than has been anticipated while prices in New York ami other American towns arc such that wo do not think it probable that much of that stock will be seen on thi: stdo of tho water. This will drive tho trade to tho boxed fruit, and we expect therefore after the turn of the new vear to see box fruit in much bet ter demand. " 'Tears aro in very fair demand, one particular variety of Cornice meeting with an excellent sale. Wo havo today had li big lot of these Oregon Cornices through our hands, and have sold at prices ranging from 16 to 21 shillings per half box. " 'BUMBLE-PUPPY" 18 T ATI'S VERBAL HIT WASHINGTON, Dee. 22. President elert Tuft having committed himself to "my policies," salutes President Theodore Roosevelt, and, without de siring to detract from the fp.me of "molly-coddle." "licked to a frazzle" and other RuoHi'Vcltinn coinages, offers " biitnlilo-pnppy. " It came out spontaneously" bumble puppy I " just liko that and Mr. Tuft applied it to himself; so it's safe, lie was speaking of his chat during the liny with Walter .1. Travis, the crack golfer. 'Jt was just such n talk on golf us von would expect between expert on the one hand and n man who phtv like a .humble-puppy. " Following are tho definitions of "bumble-puppy: " Htnmliird llictinnnry Whist plnyed unscientifically or regardless of rules.

PHONOGRAPH WITNESS IN . POLICE COURT FIRST TIME riTTSItPHO, Pa., Dec. 22. For the first time in legal history a phonogrnph was accepted as a witnens in a court today. Largely because of the talking machine's clear and convincing testi mony, Magistrate G. 11. Hngland held ('. A. Kumstay on tho charge of ansa lilt ing Mrs. John E. Hinds. The phono graph 's testimony, delivered in three voices, with a piano prelude, ran like this: First, music on tho piano then a pause whtr r r r No 1 will not give up the phonograph You xhall not have it 1 bought it and pnid for it I will have it, she had no right to sell it let it alone Oh my heavens let go of me, oh oh coward, did you strike u woman f Are you hurt Mrs. Hinds wherr r r r Oh, he's killed me. Hun get a policeman. ' ' M rs. Hi nds li ves i n Taggi'rt st reet , North Hide. A Mrs. Rhinehnrt used to live in the smne house. Itumttay either sold a phonograph to Mrs. fthinchnrt or left in her care; and she sold the instru ment to Mrs. Hinds. A hlank record was put in the phonograph to reproduce a solo which Mrs, Klla Itittenhmise, a friend of Mrs. Hinds, played on the piano. While Mrs. Itittonhonse was playing Kumslay entered the apartment and demanded tlie phonograph. Mrs. Hinds testified and Mrs. Kittcnhouse corrobo rated her, that she explained to Hums toy that, she bought the phonograph from Mrs. Khinehart. Mrs. Hinds and Mrs. Kit ten house swore that Rumstay wanted to take the machine away. Mrs. Hinds refused to give it up and, they alleged, Itiimstnv struck her, and knock ed her down. Mrs. Kittenhouse sprang from the seat at the pimm to help Mrs. Hinds, and did not stop the phonograph which continued grinding away and re cording the excited conversation and the women's screams. F.

Of course It Is always a matter of doubt who or what a baby six weeks old will look like." ruck. A Word For tho Kaisar. "There's wan t'lng," remarked Mr. Rafferty thoughtfully, "to be said In favor of the kaiser." An' what's that?" asked Mr. -Dolan suspiciously.
