OWNER $226 111 ONE YEAR Some men fire wiser than their day and gener ation. In this category may be classed the late nurseryman, 0. Poolidge, of Ashland, who, during bis long life in this val ley, did much to advance horticultural interests. He so constantly asserted .but the Buerre de Anjoa represented a fortune to the man who grew the trees in this favored val ley, that his friends hu morously culled him "De Anjou" Poolidge. . Many a mnn in this valley re grets today that he did not heed the old gentle nan's admonition nod lant largely of this va riety of pear. The tree is remarkably healthful and vigorous here, and is a persistent and at times a phenom enal bearer of n grade of pears wliich is only ex celled in price in the mar kets of the world by the famous Poniice. The ap pended illustration is from a photo taken in 1008 of the tree which of all fruit trees in the world holds the record as the heaviest individual bear er. Tt stands on the old Roliss place, southwest of Medford, on Griffin creek, and when the tract was bought by Mr. Soliss, 32 years ago, the tree was then bearing good crops, and during all the inter vening years it lias never once failed to bear a good crop.

A cout of tar and feathers is prom ised by local real estate dealers on some dark night for a stout, heavy set individual, of reddish lace and heavy moustache, of about 22" pounds weight, dressed as a farmer, who wears a broad-brimmed black hat and has been conspicuous on the street corners of Medford for some months past. The gentleman in question is a pro fessional and salaried knocker, whose sole occupation in life is to discour age newcomers and prospective pur chasers from locating in tho Rogue lliver volley.

Mc Allister spent Thursday in Mcdloid listening to complaints regarding Ihe destruction of fish and arranging for strict enforcement of statutes. Ho spent the Inst three days at Grants Pass, and as a result of extensive inquiries and personal examination, lias commenced the construction of new fishway around :ho east side f the Anient dam. "'I found that few if any fish were able to get over Ihe Ament dam fish-'. way." said Mr. McAllister. "The fisliway is defective and work on a new one has begun. 1 found the sal mon coMccteit nv nunureds nt tne toe of the dam and in the holes through which the water from the power wheels washes, with the result that fish are not gelling up stream. Breaking the Law. "Not only this, but the Grunts Pass fi-bcrmen are breaking the law by fishing under Ihe toe of the dain at night, draogiug (heir seines and pulling in the helpless' salmon by the ton.

Through neg . ligence, however, the orop was gathered and shipped Jnd aggregated 47 boxeB f fancy fruit, which sold in Now York City for a snm which netted the Medford shipper $220. As f to rob the tree of its renown, a huge limb was broken while the fruit was being gathered, de stroying fully five boxes of fruit, which should have been credited to its yield that year. Last year, when the photo wob secured, the crop was not nearly so heavy, but the present season it bids fair to eclipse the record nade in 1D07. One of the sins of omis sion of whieh Brother Bit tie Wells of Sunset was guilty in compiling the data for the new Medford booklet, was Ihe fact that the da'a pertuining to this pholo was iiuhIiuiI, and he took a running .jump at the facts and la beled the photo in the 1 booklet "A Bnrtlctt Pear Tree Near Medford." The intrinsic merit of the booklet ns n whole in duces ns to overlook this, but really such a fairy talc should have been in corporated in a work of art Bitch as the booklet. This is a tree which is in n class by itself in n field covering the whole world, and is certainly deserving of distinguished mention.
