TO DISCUSS DAMAGE BY FROST
Meeting ol Horticultural Society Saturday
O'Oara Will Speak
(By Charles Meservo.)
Frost damage is ono of the elements
f loss that fruitgrowers have to con
tend against in all deciduous fruit dis
tricts, and this risk has also to be met
by the orange and lemon growers of
California and Florida and other sub
tropical citrus fruit districts. A sue
ei ssion of seasons having "killing
frosts has brought tinaneial ruin to
many a fruitgcower. ith tho prog
ress in horticultural science that has
been made in the la.it few years meth
ods have been devised for combatting
frost, und it is now as possible to pro
vent loss of fruit by frosts as it is by
pests. ;
itoguo River vallov is subject to
frosts, though not with tho frequency
nor severity that is tho cubo with most
of tho other fruit districts in the Unit
ed States. Though it is for periods of
five to tea veers that Hague River
valley fruitgrowers have jio mishap to
their fruit crops, yets when a frost
lots hit their orchards the loss in dol
lars is heavier than in any other fruit
district in the Unite! States, owing to
tho higher price had for then- pears
and apples than is had by other fruit
raisers. Allowing that there -is an av
erage vield this season, it is estimat
ed by well posted persons that the fruit
crop of Rogue River valley will amount
to fully $700,000. ft is thus a vital
matter to the fruitgrowers and to the
business men of this valley that the
fruit crop be protected from damage
by late frosts.
O'Oara to Speak.
Recognizing the importance of this
matter, the Rogue River Horticultural
society has arranged with Professor P.
,!. O'Oara of the department f ugrnul

Southern Pacific is also taking an ac

undertaking, and R. B. Miller, the gen
eral freight agent for the company,

It's laughable the way tho Bell Tele

right and left, and while acknowledg

In the meantime it's n sufo bet that

The Portland Journal in commenting
on the Outer road project nays:
It is no more a wise policy for a mem
ber of the legislature to vote against
every new bill carrying an appropria
tion than to vote fjr ovcrv such bill.
Each should be considered on Its mer

for this purpose, tho fact is better stat
ed by saying that the state cannot af
ford to neglect so spending it. Some
largo appropriations are absolutely iiutl
unquestionably necessary. This h not
one of that kind. Otlurs, of which this

ment, are calculated to be profitable
to tho stnte nnd bring buck the monev

I his road and the lukn to which it
will lead and the scenery which it will
open to view, will attract nation wide,
even world-wide attention. It will at
tract thousands of money-spending vis
itors annually, who will continue to
spread the increasing fame of "Oregon
ai a scenic nud climatic resort equal to
any in the world. Califomin has prof
ited untold millions by its Vosemite
valley, and Crnter lake should be n
greater attraction than Yoseinite. Some
globe trotters assert that Crnter lake is
tho world's greatest natural wonder.
The statu ia not asked to pnv all the

Jackson and Klnmul h counties have
each pledged $50,0(10, nnd individuals,
hief among whom is Mr. Harriman,
l.nve pledged $10,000 more $1."0,000 in
all, and the state is asked to appropri
ate 100,000 of the estimated cost of
$iii0,000. It ought, under suitably
guarded conditions, to do so. It will
pay. Nothing tho legislature could do
would more extensively nnd effectuallv

People coming to this stato to visit
('niter lnko would visit tho Willamette ,
vnlley, Portland, Astorin, eastern Ore
gon. They would note not only Ore-,
gon 's scenic wonders and beauties and
its superb climate, but also its great
crops, its variety of production, its
wealth of resources, in manifold oppor
tunities and thousands of well-to-do
homespekers 'would flow in here con
stantly in consequence. Think over nil
these things before voting oguinst this
appropriation.
Tho .Journal ntso contains the follow
ing nccount of the meeting with tho
committee:
Medford to Front
President Colvig of tho Medford Com
mercial club opened the arguments in
behalf of the bill, explaining that, .lack
son and Klamath counties had each ap
propriated $50,000 for the construction
of the road to Crater lake. Fifty thou
sand additional had been pledged by
outside parties. The government had
agreed to construct that portion of the
highway running through the Cascade
forest reserve and tho Crater Lnke nft
tional park at an estimated cost of
$250,000. The total cost of the mad
would approximate 500,0u0, and half
of it would lie in government domnin,
The speaker touched on the legal phases
of the appropriation, stating that, the
$100,000 asked for from the stnte was
not nn unconstitutional request, nnd
filed with the committee ii brief quot
ing decisions made by the supreme
court definitely deciding the ipiestiou
Judge Fenton Speaks.
Judge W. D. Fenton spoke of the
great tourist travel that tho road would
divert into Oregon. "Southern Califnr
nia receives $40,000,000 n year os the
result of its tourist travel," he said.
"There in no reason why Oregon should
not receive a portion of this amount.
Everv person who comes to the coat
for scenerv or climate now goes to Cal
ifornia; although Oregon surpasses Cal
ifornia in both. The construction of a
rond to Crater lake will open up one
of the scenic spots of the world, and
the greatest natural wonder we possess.
It is Oregon's one great attraction. Tho
innge of this bill will result in bene
fiting every portion of the state."
Judge Cotton's Views.
.Tndge Cotton expressed himself along
similar lines. Ho said that Oregon had
neglected the greatest tourist resource.
while California had developed, those
that would not compare with those of
this state, and that if Crater lake was
in any other state iq the Union the ex
penditure of millions, if necessary, by
that stato would bo eagerly made. The
appropriation usked for wus a mere
babatelle, nnd it was a business propo
sition to Invest-where the returns would
amount to hundreds of dollars for each
dollar invested.

On the first nf .Inly tho government
will liegin its worlt of road building
if Oregon makes tho appropriation
itskeil for to make the lako accessible,
and improvements in tho park will be
begun upon nn elaborate and extensive
scale. The officials of tho department
of agriculture have agreed to furnish
nn engineer to tako charge of tiie road
and construct it alo?ig tcientific lines
both in and without tho reserve, so that
nil the money furnished by county and
stnte would be spent under government
supervision,
. ('. S. Jackson ,nf -the .Tournul told of
'the inauguration of the Crater lako road
movement last summer by the appoint
ment of a provisional commission by
(loveiiior t'hnmberlnin upon his return
from a trip to tho lako. The governor
had been so impressed with the scenic
grandeur of the lako that he took the
initiative in the move to tnnko the lake
accessible, "No camera ever made can
begin to portray a millionth part of the
beauty nnd grandeur of ('rater lako,"
said Mr. Jackson. "One feels near to
the infinite in gazing upon this lake.
Persons who have circled the globe tell
me that its duplicnte cannot be found
rnywliere.
Only One Crater Lake.
"The scenes of the Yellowstone, the
Vosemite nnd the Ornnd Canyon are du
plicated in other countries, but there Is
only ono Crater lake Tho puoplo of
Oregon should cheerfully give ten times
the amount asked for to muko it ttcces-

II I'. II. T. Mulkcv of Ashland and
K. O. Smith of Ornnts Pass spoke for
the other cities of the south to show
that the proposed road was not desired
bv Medford alone; but desired by all of
southern Oregon. Mr. Mullioy stated
Hint it now tool; three days of hard
wagon travel over poor mountuin roods
to reach thn lake, whereas it could be
reached in seven hours by the proposed
highway by automobile. He stated that

If it were made ncce.sible SO.nnfl people

to become resideots. Mr. Hmith stated
that southern Oregon had been paying

and hud never receive! nn appropriation
