Is Quoted in Telegram as
Saying Many Nice Things
About. Medlord-Tells
Them of Our Streets
Colonol F. L. Tou Velio, who has in
a fow yours amassed n snug little for
ttmo in this valloy und is einbned with
the prospects of Modford, is quoted in
the Evening Telegram of Portland as
follows:
"I'm afraid to write the truth about
Medford to my people back in Ohio be
cause they won't believe me; condition
are so different between Ohio and Oro
Kon that the folks back home consider
what I say about this stiito as exagger
ated," said F. L. Tou Velio of Med
ford. "We have the biggest little me
tropolis in the west. It is the only
town in the extreme southern part of
the state haVing paved streets. We
havo hard surfaced pavements and plen
ty of them.
"Good streets mean much to a town,
but wo havo other things. We aro put
ting in a. ;ir0,fiO(l watvr system, which
will bring pure mountain water to Med
ford. We have nlrcndv installed a east
iron distributing system, the best of the
kind iu Oregon. Then?' are about loO
automobiles in the plaeo and more com
ing nil the time. One agent sold five
much i lies I not week, and several citizens
havo come to Portland to buy cars. In
the motors we enu go to Crater lake iu
ono day and see the great est piece of
scenery in the United States. A day go
ing, o day at the take and n day return
ing gives n tourist u great trip. This
formerly took a week at. least, and now
it can be covered in three days. There
is a new road to the lakeland it is be
ing improved nil the lime.
11 A 12-foot vein of coal has been dis
covered running from ono end of the
valley to the other. Tr. starts nt Sams
Valley and runs to Ashland. Three com
panies have been organized to work the
vein. An experienced coal miner from
Springfield, O., is working on tho devel
opment. This eon I ea'u scarcely be dis
tinguished from Rock Springs coal.
Chief Pricio In Fruit.
"Of course our chief pride is in fruit,
although we caa grow nnything in the
country. T do not know of a place in the
west where a person can double his
capital faster. It takes money to start
in, but given capital of a few thousand
dollars and good judgment, n man can
soon accumulate a substantial fortune.
Threo years ago I bought ft place and
later sold it at nn advance of more
than $20,000, to say rething of about
the an mo amount of fruit I took off it.
There is one orchard of 40 acres, bear
ing pears, which sold a crop for $tiO,
000 last year. The owner shipped a
trainlond of pears receiving $1,100 a cnr.
Another fruitgrower sold his place for
ebout $1.10.000.
"Easterners cannot rralir.e the price
nt good orchard lands in the Medford
country, the price beirg so much higher
than where I came from back home.
Why, my people in Ohio never heard of
using gasoline engines in- orchards, and.
since I wrote them about the engines,
they keep warning me of the danger.
Every time they see r piece in n paper
about gasoline exploding they clip it
out and mail it to ma.
"a'iv man with ft little capital and
sound business sen can double his
money in a few months in the Medford
countrv. The time has passed when a
man could go in th-rc. however, on a
shoestring and pick up good land for
nothing. There are ph-nty of bargains
fur men with means n invest. Eastern
ers are dropping in Medford constantly,
nnd thev are all provided with funds.
An easterner, while waiting for n tram
a few dnvs ago, bought a plw or lft'"
000 and decided to remain at Medford
for the rest of his lifj."

Discussion on the Most
Profitable Varieties of
rrult to Be the Main
Topic of the Meeting
(Fly Mtnrlcfi Mf-serve.)
The statement hu. been ninde ly
Hon. W. R. Newell, pre.iilent of the
Oregon ntnto Ijonrd of horticulture, in n
public address that. Kopue Iiivor vulley
enn grow to perfection more kinds of
fruit than any other seetion of the Pa
cific coast. Anil the sales returns have
proven year after year, since fruit be
gan to be shipped from hero, that Itoeuo
Hiver valley can grow more kinds of
fruit that lead in making record prices
in tho vvorld'u best; markets than any
other district, in the Ur-itcd States, and
that the profits on some orchards and
vineynrds are so big r.s to nonnd like
fairy talea to east' rn fruit growers.
This variety and exo Hence of fruit
that liogue River valley produces is all
due to the remarkable diversity of soils
nnd other physical conditions and to
the perfect climate. Yet this sanie di
versity of soil, altitudo and other -conditions
that enables so many different
kinds of fruit to be grown to such per
fection Is ulso the cause of ninny of
the orchard and vineyaid failure!', that
can be seen in this valley.
Favorable Conditions Needed.
The progressive fruitgrower has learn
ed by experience that when I here is the
right eombinntlpii of soil, altitude, lo
cation nnd variety of trees or vines
that the yield is large, the fruit, perfect
anil the profit nil lli.it- could be wished
for. While if the fruit tree or grape
vine has unfavorable conditions there
will bo no profitable returns to the
owner.
Tho sales aeconn's add another se
rious problem that the beginner has to
meet in plnnting nn orchard or a vine
yard in Rogue River volley, for while
many kinds of fruit ei:n be grown to
perfection, there are only certain vani
ties that have been found to be profit
able.
Meeting on Saturday.
"The problems above intlined that eon-
front the fruitgrowers of this valley
will bo the topics that will be dis
cursed nt the meeting of the Uogne

ing to be held at the Medford t'oinmer

uble will be opened by an address by
.1. A. Perry, malinger of the Dogue Tliv-
er Fruitgrowers' union. Tlie uiscnssion
on the soil problem will be opened by
Charles Meserve. As manager for the
Fruitgrowers' union Mr Perry lias nan
,n,.,l i ho bulk of the fruit that has been
shipped from this secti-ir of Rogue Riv
er vnllev for several jra i"""
he has learned what art the best sell
ing vnrieties and what have brought
the best prices. The raits mar in
give pertaining to the market demand,
and nrices is the much sought infor
mation Hint all want to know who are
interesteil in the fruit industry in this
.-ntlev. Mr. Meserve. for the past six
years, has made n special study of the
.oil conditions of Rogue River valley
nf feeling the growth and productive-
nes. of trim trees nnn " "
tlie information that he will give will
materially aid fruitgrowers to solve one

the :t!Mh round of what was to imvc
been a -to-round fight at the Jeffries

Hurry was knocked down nnd out in the
:t!Mh round, hin soeoonds throwing up

Kmifinann hnd all the best of the
fighting from the start to the finish,
although Hurry at timea made some
terrific efforts to retaliate.
The reitult of the fight decides the
while heavyweight championship, Both

hut If were heralded by their respective
supporter as winners. Kaiifmann was
the bigger of the twi, and in this hud
ninny diivnulngcs, while Harry, ono nf
the cleverest that rvr dunned a mit,
scorned to lack the hitting qualities of
his opponent.
This result is a big leather in the cap
of Hilly Delnnoy, ami adds one more to
his si ling of champions, such n Cor

now resting on his laurels, having made

it may be predicted, if Hie purso for

JURY FINDS
Only Deliberate 28 Min
utes-Finch Says He Will.1;;
Fight Gase
PORTLAND. r.( Dee. 31. After V
liberating but lis minutes, the .fury in
the case of Lawyer James A. Finch,
slayer of the late prosecutor for the
State Har association, Halph H. Visiter,
returned n verdict, of murder. There
was but one ballot taken. Finch was
overcome, but soon regained his com
posure. Judge Hrouau;h, who presided,
said he would pronounce sentence on
Saturday morning. Finch was then tak
en iu charge by deputes and remand
ed to the cell for prisoners convicted
of murder in the first degree. Finch
delcares that he will fight his case clear
to the V nited States mpremo court and,
although he may finally hang, he de
clares it will take two years in jvliicli
to bring about this result.
Deputy District Attorney J. J.' Fitz
gerald began the closing argument for
the prosecution, and in little over nn
hour's speech he summarized the rase
from the Ktate's'stanrlpojnl, and then
in caustic terms he timed his atten
tion to the lawyers f.r the defense, ar
raigning them in tit mst scathing
terms. Judge Hronniu'i upon the con
vening of court at 2 . in. delivered his
charge In less than an hour, giving the
use to the jury nt 2:5 o clock. f
The crime for which Finch stands
convicted was cowardly and atrocious.
He had been disbarred bv tin- supreme
court of the state for fwidnct unbecom
ing a lawyer and a c'iti?ea, and seemed
to think Prosecutor Fi'her was the di
rect cause. Finch vivtrd Mr. Fisher's
office on November 2-1 and. without
warning. r giving hint a chance for
his life, nttacked Fisher from liehimi
shooting him down.

"Sumo time since the Oregon conser

That part of the report that is not well

commercial fishing and ils protection
and did not take into consiiderat ion
that Ihe spoil of fishing was one of the

follows:
Tho Objectionable Paragraph.
" 'The steelhead trnit should bo kept
out of all hatchery stnaifiH, They sub
sist on salmon eggs an I fry and recent
invest igat ions show that the loss bv
this means is prodigious. We are creli
bly Informed that pract'cally tho whole
output of some of tli. hatcheries has
been devoured by schooh; of trout that
lie in wait for the fcu.U thus provided
tor litem by tho pnlernal government.
The fishermen, with as much truth as
sarcasm, compare tho present met hods
to those of an orchard 1st wdto should
make no attempt to combat scale and
eodlia moth, but rely on enlarging his
nursery to replace tho ruined t roes.
Removal of thi cIimo season against
trout on hatchery st renins would prob
ably suffice. If not, the hatchery men
might be empowered to do a little judi-
ioiis gilliieiting for t : out in the neigh
borhood of hatchery grounds. These
measures against trout, in hatching
st reams should not affect the protec
tiou of the prince of game fish on other
streams.'
Would Kill Flailing.
"The Itogue river is a hatching stream
and (here are seven I hatcheries on the
river. To do away with Ihe festive
sleelhead would work a great hardship
hi this locality and would not only de
prive thousands of people of one of the
greatest sports on earlh, but would ahol-
