Description of Property for Assessment of Central Avenue Between Sixth and Eighth Streets, Medford, Oregon
A MARVELOUS PBODUCElt.
Under the caption "A Pointer for Doubters What
One Little Cherry Tree Docs on the Bayfield Peninsula'
the Bayfield County Press of Bayfield, AYis., publishes
the following news item :
Wednesday last Mrs. Julius Forsbcrg finished pick
ing the cherries on one cherry tree in the yard at her hom.
on First street, and reports a total output from this oni
tree of 100 full quarts, exclusive of all that had hcen pick
ed and eaten from the lower limbs. This tree is over 30
years old, and from personal observation of the writer
he knows that it has been a bearing tree for 27 $tiinnicrs.
This tree lias had no especial care, stands in a grass plot
and is to all appearances as sound in trunk and perfect in
limb as it is possible for a tree to be. Yet, in the face of
such evidence as thin, you will occasionally run across one
of those wiseacres who will sneer at the statement th!
fruit raising here can be made a financial success.
One hundred quarts of cherries!
And from one tree. .
Marvelous!
And still the Rogue River valley has a few records in
'he cherry line- For instance, there is a tree near Eagle
Point which this year produced 98 gallons or 392 quarts
Likewise there is "a tree near Gold Hill which produced
200 gallons or 800 quarts.
Affidavits will be furnished upon request.

FRUIT IN SIXTY DAYS
SACHAMKNTO. Aug. 12. "Cali
fornia has shipped $1011.000 worth
of fruit n day for the last i0 days.
Thtat means !?(i.000.000." Seiul .r
Charles B. Bills.
Senator Bills was not merely ro
mancing when he said this last nighl
at the chamber of commerce. Tlv
senntor is a big shipper of fruit him
self. Through the I'ioneer Fruit
company with which he is affiliated,
aud he ought to know.
'"It is simply astounding,'' he rumi
nated. ''Think of it, one hundred
thousand dollars' a day. seven days a
week, for eight weeks. Three million
dollars a month, six-millions for two
months! mid still going on! The rec
ord to date is ")."i42 ears for the sea
son." 'Best of all," Senator Bills reflect
ed, " all hut n very small portion of
the money finds it way hack to tlio
hands of the people of California
through Sacramento channels. The
hanking operations carried on via t!in
banks here. This is the clearing house
for practically tho returns from the
eastern sales of deciduous fruit."
Senator Bills went on to say that
the record will be surpassed next
year when California begins to ship
apples and celery, two products that
growers will find profitable to raise
in large quantities. Apples, are
scarce now and bring $1.00 a box.
Celery is a vccgtuble this end of the
state has not paid much attention ( i
heretofore, but farmers on the lower
Sacramento are beginning to wak)
up to its advantages as it marketa
ble product and bread winner.
