Casey! Mi hearties, there's lots in a nutne, especially when it's Ca sey and when that same Casey cut the same important figure in a bull game as did Casey of the Portland ball team Sunday afternoon, when bis hired men dropped eight runs into (he hopper while Medford was chas ing five over the home doorstep. Ca sey was always an important factor in the fun, and if the frail flower and manhood of Medford had turned out to the hall park instead of staying at home, the story 41." the game need only he told for the halt, the blind and the bedridden. Had ihe good people of Medford turned out. they would have seen for Ihemselves how much Casey there was to the Sabbath matinee, but they dodged the fresh air and in conse quence have to be told. Well, Casey, beginning at the start, hit the first hall pitched to him for two bases. Once after this he singled and once he mnde a brilliant stop of a hopping grounder, tint there was a screeching peeble remover that Casey did nol stop. It was shot at him from th' hat wielded by one Miles, known as Shorty e en to the kiddies on the street and as a "dear, sweet thing" to well, anyhow. Miles hit to Casey and he 1 ted it. On top of the boot Casey heaved the hall wild to Mullen at first, and Mullen, the big sunburnt blond, heaved the ball, which if it hadn't been for the fence to the left of the grandstand, would have gone to the California line. Two in the Sixth. He fore Casey's famous hoot took place (be .-core stood 8 to 2. In the sixth inning Medford, with a bundle of fumbles and Kii'ert's single, sent two runs over the plate. After this things were mighty quiet until I ho joyous ninth canto. The only fun producer was Casey, when he struck out twice. In the ninth the fun slart ed, when St. John dropped a fly from Kane-' bat in right field. Wilkeuson walked, but was mnrgued at second an Antic's infield puke. Osborne hit a double and the si at ions were full a mile. Then Casey debutted. Wee Draw lad Miles, aiias Shorty, the popular, debulted also. Shorty took aim at Casey's pet bunion and fired i' way, Casey knocked the smash down nud Ihe screaming high brows itt the grandstand mingled their hoarse, exultant shout of ghoulish glee willi those in the frozen zone of bleach. The fiendish glee when Casey made his bumb peg to Mullen and when the sorrol-topped initial sacker threw the ball away, the heav ens were rent and the bronehinl tubes split lo a sliver. Casey's helpful euss, his boot and heave let in three runs and took four kinks out of Ris ley eharley horse, which will help some. Followed Instructions. Gardner, who pitched again for Medford, followed instructions and tucked away in sic sconce is a misty notion that Manager Casey double crossed him. Carey's orders to the pitchers were "no curves." Gardner followed advice and in the opening inning he was clouted for three doub les and a brace of ingle-, nettini: Portland four runs. After this heavy artillery fire the bombardment cea-ed with the exception of one run in the eighth until Portland's half of tic eighth, when Mullen, with two men' on bnses, -lammed tin ball over left j garden wall for a homer and a fancy vest Ft i -ley also hit the ball over the fence at left, hut this only count fd for two bae-.

ARE THE BEST Eastern Writer Scores New York Growers for Neglecting Fruit Culture A recent issuo of Green's Fruit (Irower, published in Horhestur, N. V., appiuirod lh following article under (be caption, "Western Cumpe t it ion in Apples." According to the article, ihe eastern apple grower will have lo make vasl strides before his produce ran equal the western farm ers'. The article is as follows: "I have just returned from n trip lo Washington, Philadelphia and New York. In nil of these cities 1 have found the fruit stores and the markets well supplied with fancy fruit shipped in baskets from the states of Idaho, Oregon, Washington and elsewhere throughout the weal. Kuril specimen comes wrapped in pa per and each apple is a perfect spec imen without a wnrmhole or blemish . f any kind. I did not find an apple on which Ihe fruit, stem was broken. The breakage of the 1 ruit stem would he considered a defect. There are no gruises upon the apples caused by -hipmeut. The Varieties Offered. "The varieties I found offered were I ho (iriiues, Shiytnan's Sinesap, Spy, liauaua, .Jonathan and Hen Da vis. While in most cases I found the mine of the variety stenciled on the box, 1 discovered l lint the retailer of these western apples in the eastern markets could not inform me its to tlm true mime of the variety they were selling. Stnynian's Winesap the dealer said were Spitzeuhergs. "Some of these western fancy ap ples notably the .lonathau and Ar kansas Itlack apples, were so firm in texture as to be scarcely in good condition for eating. After keeping lliese apples Iwo weeks they did no! soften, hut had a tendency lo wither. Stuvmaii's Winesap was in prime condition f(r eating. I fentsed upon ihis apple all through my trip. It is of good quality and of tender flesh. "At Washington the price of fancy apples shipped in boxes from the west was cents each. I saw some Northern Spys offered al Washing ton at HI cents each, but these were of marvelous size, beautifully colored, the best Spy apples I have ever seen. At New York city these fancy apples were selling at from It to 10 cents each, with a slight reduction when houehl by Ihe do.en. Oranges in nil T Ihe three eilies were selling at less than half (he price of Ihese apples. New York Apples. "I inquired of Ihe proprietors of the-e ea-lern fruit stores if they kepi any western New York apples for -ale. The reply was that Ihe west ern New York apples were down and out, there being no demand for them on account of Iheir not being well rown nor well packed. "Il i- as plain as ihe nose in your face thai there is a good demand in all of the larger cillies for fancy apples at from . cents to 10 cents i aeh, but it is equally plain that such apples at present are grown and narked only in the west. If you will look in the exhibits in Ihe eastern laic-, you wilt see a few apples al-;iio-l equaling lllc t extern fancy apple- in appearance, but you cannot buy a carload of these fancy apples of any but the western growers. "Thi- que-tion arises. Are eastern . pple Mj-owers satisfied to grow a luw L'rade of apples allowing their w e-tern competitor- full cont ro of the fancy markets by means of which the wr-tern growers get more for a -mall box of apples containing about i half bushel than the eastern fruit - : rower gets for a barrel of apples I containing about three bu-liels?

In or ier to suceeed in growing apples we iinisl -re llial the trees are properly iruucd and not only to prevent over bearhiL'. but to permit of a reason able ot -nn-bine to eonr the fruit; ue mii-i keep the -oil enriched and t ullivnted and in dry -easons mu-t irrigate our orchard-.

The commission will be composed of seven members, two of whom must be from Jackson comity, and two Iroin Klamath. All may he appoint ed from these two counties, but it is probable that the other three will he from other parts of the stale. Gov ernor Itensou has nol as yet indicated his course in th ematter, hut it seems reasonable to suppose that one of the two commissioners will he from Med ford and the other from Ashland. The members of the provisional commis sion appointed by Governor Cham berlain are F. II. Uarrimau and Frank Hay id' New York, lienton Itowers of Ashland. J. F. lieddy and W. I. Viiwler of Medford, V. TI. Hop kins of Central Point, C. S. Jackson and W. 0. Steel of Portland. Some of the Candidates. Among the candidates, active and iceeptive, arc Ihe most prominent cit izens of Ihe county. While n few auuoiuice themselves as anxious for the appointment, most of the candi dates are being urged by friends, hi Ashland the consensus of opinion -eems to be in favor of K. V. Carter and teuton Itowers. Mr. Carter has done very effective work, both at Sa lem and in the county for the road, while Mr. Itowers has also shown great interest in the successful out come and was one of the originators of ihe movement for a state high way. Judge W. S. Crowcll, who is not an active candidate, is being put for ward by his friends as the logical Medford member of the commission. His term as county judge gave him a familiarily with mad work that few possess, and his qualifications are beyond question. W. I. Vawter and i. C. Fuyart are also favorites with many, both of whom have worked energetically for the highway. Oth ers mentioned for the place are Dr. J. M. Keene. who did remarkable work for the bill at Ihe legislature; ' -iell' Heard, who also helped al Salem and who is familiar with road build ing ; John 0. OlweU, F. Osenbrugge, Councilman F. K. Merrick, I)r. C. . Kay and Mayor Canon, all of whom loyally worked for Ihe measure. Juck-ouville has candidates in the persons of George I,. Mavis and A. K. Re-imps; Central Point in S. A. Pat-ti-on; Gobi Hill in J. F. Hammers ley, and Wondville in J. C. Aitken. Whoever is -elected from these men, the rhoice will he satisfactory to a ma jority of citizens, and will in--ii re a high standard to the commis sion. KLAMATH DAIRYMEN FORM ORGANIZATION The Klamath County Dairy asso ciation ha- been formed. W. II. Tleil man, engineer of operation and maiu tainance of the Klamath irrigation project was elected president on account of hi- practical knowledge Frank Ira While, vice president ; J. A.

They have the repu tation as fruitgrowers to look nfte-r. We in the eastern states should he a-hamed id' the present condition of iiflairs and of the poor showing that our fruit makes in comparison with that of the fruits of ninny nf Ihe hi tern fruitgrowing centers."
