ANOTHER RECORD SMASHED.
Only the wildest dream of avarice on the part of our
local fruitgrowers could have aroused calculations or such
high prices for local pears as has just been paid to the
Bear Creek Orchards company $10.08 a box in the Lon
don market. It was thought that the record established
for these pears in New York $8.20 a box- would stand
for some time, until now, when least expected, the old
record has been advanced $1.88.
Only those who are in actual touch with the world's
markets are able to judge oi; the inestimable advantage
which a section enjoys where the conditions are perfect
for the production of one of the special fruits which are
in demand on the tables of the wealthy and the well-to-do
of two continents. Modern methods of transportatioi
have annihilated distance, and with the advent of the re
frigerator car the most remote and isolated districts of
earth are called upon to supply the wants of those able
to buy the best that the world affords.
The Rogue River valley is so far superior in its merits
in this line of production to any other portion of the north
. west that it is now engrossing all (he interest. This con
dition in regard to the production of this delicious fruit
gives the Rogue River valley practically a monopoly of
the best markets of the world tor a product which is cer
tainly the easitet to grow of any fruit which is planted
here. ji.M$tmitktk
It is not alone the fact that all conditions are right for
the production of a perfect pear in this valley which makes
it certain that this line of production will be among the
most important income-producers of the valley, but the
additional fact that in almost every portion of the valley
the land is adapted to pears above any other fruit that is
grown. There is practically no limit to the yield of pears
in this valley, and the public are eagerly seizing upon the
nearby tracts now offering. It has only been a few years
since the public in general was initiated into the secrets
of pear-growing or its possibility as fruit venture. The
heavy growers have been wise for ten years past, but did
not take the public into their confidence until the annual
returns realized from car lots sent to eastern markets im
pressed the outsider with the fact that, hero, in pear cul
ture, we have a bonanza equaled only by the better class
of gold or copper mines.
Horticulture, on the other hand, is one of the most
fascinating of pursuits in life. Henry E. Dosch, one time
secretary of the state horticultural commission, has writ
ten: "There is perhaps no more ennobling pursuit in life
than horticulture, and possibly none more profitable than
the growing of apples and pears. The poet who watched
and raved over the development of a beautiful baby girl
into maiden and ultimate womanhood, will find its coun
terpart in an Oregon orchard. To stand and watch in
early spring the quickening of the tree, the gradual devel
opment of leaf and bud, and the gentle, timid opening of
its bewitching blossoms, filling the air with intoxicating
fragrance, and finally the fruitage of the magnificent
apples and pears for which Oregon has become famous, is
a poem in itself."
KLAMATH FALLS, Jan. 28. A gen
uine Qaliforniu moutsln lion wan shot
and killed' yesterday by a son of John
Hag?)stein. just back of Nnqlox, which
Is IS miles north of this city. The lion
is c monster, measuring eight feet from
hor.d to tip of tail, and weighs 125
pouuds. It was brought to the city
tminy by Mr. Hugelstc-in.
For several weeks hugo trucks of
ome animal were seen in the woods
in the neighborhood of Baylor. The
trucks were too largo for an ordinary
cotigar. It is believed thai this wan
the uuiinul which wui seen by u mini
hr of trnppprs on the iee in the mid
die of the big Klanmth li:ke, und which
crented quite a sonsatloii, us they wore
unnble to get their bear dogs to go
near it, and wero unuhle to determine
what sort of an animal it wns. The
lion was fat and in fino condition and
apparently has been 8uceenful in
slaughtering deer on which to feed.
The animal was discovered hint ivo
ning in n tree near the HngelHtein home
and was aoon brought to the ground
witli a rifle, two of the bulls entering
tho head and one tho shoulder,
Tho dead animal was sold to Judge
Thomas Droke for $?.', aud thf judge
intends to hnvc a rug made of the skin,
which he expects to present to his
ilaughter in Oaklund.

WHAT ROCKEFELLER
THINKS Or RELIGION
ATUANTA, Jan. as. The views of
John 1). Uockefeller on the thoological
doctrines of election and predestination
wero reluled to the Baptist ministers
of Atlanta as a re:iult of a discussion
of those doctrines at their weekly meet
ing. Tlio Rockefeller views were present
ed by the Rev. John White of Atlanta,
who preached at Hockefelerr 's church
a Cleveland last summer,
"While riding with Mr. Kockefellor
in his automobile," Baal Dr. White, "we
began to discuss election nnd the the
ology taught nt the I'niversity of (.'hi
cago. I related to Mr. Kockefellor
the story of tho Georgia negro and his
explanation of election, lie was jok
ingly asked what this election menus,
and lie nnswered:
" 'Well, you see, the Lord and the
dent are always votitg; one for your
salvation an one for your damnation,
and whichever way you votes you gets
elected accordingly. Mr. Rockefeller
laughed at the story and then declared
ilir-t Ins view on th" doctrine of cine
tion coincided with that of the negro.
Mr. Uockefeller further declared that
the same view dominated the thoologv
being taught at the Vniversilv of Chi
.ago."
Hr. White s:iid thar Mr. Uockefeller
wr's so impressed with the story of the
negro's views on election that' lie ha,
the story taken down by a itenogra
pher when thov returned fioin the nu
