I'OHTLAKI), Aug. 14. Fancy Ore
gon apples Iinve made, their appear
ance. Fair lo medium grade fruit has
been eominir in a small way for a
week or more, and in competition with
the offerings from California it cut
but a small figure in the market. The
first shipment of really fine new crop
apples arrived last night from the
Independence district, and was put.on
the market today at $1.75 a box. The
apples were Ked Astrachans, hi color
and quality were all that could be
asked, and they were ready sellers at
the' price named. .
Vp to the present this season Cali
fornia apples have been the main de
pendence, and that state will furnish
the bulk of the supply here for soule
weeks to come, but the chances are
that after the first of next month
the sunulv of Oresons will be lur.';e
and" of quality such as to force the
California!: into second place. Ths
best Gravensteins from the south to
day were quoted at $2 a bos. '
Oregon crab apples hare for two
weeks been a feature of the lociil
market, but to date they have not sold
in a satisfactory way. These Have
come for the most part from the Ho
sier district, and the offerings have
for several days been in excess of the
demand. Dealers today quoted thstr,
at "0 to To cents a box.
KLAMATH FALLS MERCHANTS
PLAN BIG BARGAIN WEEK
KLAMATH FALLS. Aug. 14. Tho

the first week in October as a special
bargain week. A large catalogue is
being issued setting forth attractive
prices on all wares carried by the
larger merchants. These catalogues
will be mailed to all residents of
Klamath and Lake counties.
One of the main objects in holding
"bargain week" is to reach out aftei
the trade of the remote sections oc.
hoih counties, it is only the com
mencement of a general movement on
the part of the business men of this
city to induce the people of southern
Oregon to do Jheir trading in Klam
ath Falls.

Medford
POHTLANP, Aug. 14. Peaches
easily hold first place in the fruit dis
plays this week, and for the first
lime this season tin fancy California
Crawfords and Elbertas have a real
rival in the local market. Oregon
Crawfords have arrived in a small
way as yet, but they are here, and
the best of them in quality and ap
pearance are, full equal if not supe
rior to the peaches from farther
south. Next week there will be plenty
of Crawfords from the Ashland and
lloscburg districts, and from thnt
time on the California pencil will hnvo
to take second place.
.At the markets today the best
peaches are selling at 20 to 25 cents
a dozen, and that they, arc moving U
tlie verdict of all the dealers. Home
canning is not yet under way and wi'l
licit start until Oregon Crawfords,
which are the best available here for
that purpose, are in better supply.
The chances are that a good many of
them will he put up within the next
two or three weeks.
Of other fruits there is an abund
ance generally, mid the quality of
most of the offerings "is much supe
rior to that of a few weeks ago.
Pears from California. Ilartletts and
other sorts, are running peaches a
close race, and they are now one of
tho finest fruits to be had. The crop
in both California and Oregon is a
big one this year, and the fruit is now
coming in freely. The bet of them
are selling at 20 cents a dozen.
A SUCCESSFUL CHURCH
The Christian chinch of Medfov.-":
is one of the most aggressive church
es in this entire southern Oregon
country- Two and one half year
ago the congregation numberc'l only
11. j mebers. Xow the eburcli feeovd
shows 260 names enrolled. I)uri:i;j
the pastorate of M. F. "Horn. 2"0
have been added to' the saved, 30")
have moved uway fom the city, leav
ing a net increase of 145 or several
more than double the original num
bre. Tlu- bible school has inerens-.id
from an average attendance of about
40 to an average attendance of about
120. showing a splendid growth dur
ing that time. The chinch is har
monious and ready for continued
aggressive work. The pastor who is
soon to close his work says he regret.-
to leave such an earnest church
and live town as are. to be found
here, but necessity compels him to go
even against the earnest desire of the
church that he remain.

ted to talk tp her husband over the
telephone to give her assurance thai
the news of his safety was .. true.

school curriculum for the ensuir ;
year. Heretofore there have been
tauirht in the Klumath county liicu ,
school hut two courses, the regular
high school work and a complete bus
iness course. It has been decided by
the board of education to add a thor
ough course in teachers' t mimic.;,
placing the school on an eonality with
the normals, and also to add a emirs"

the additional courses it has bee i
necessary to secure one more instruc

The growth of the Klamath coindv
high school has been remarkable.
Only a few years ago it required but
one instructor to handle all the work.

lias increased until this year it will
come close to the 100 mark. School
will open oik September 0, but al

The Reason Why
THE
O R
Southern Pacific local passenger
train N'o. 20, leaving Ashland Fridir
morning tdiortly after 7 o'clock,
struck a butcher wagon at the On
street crossing and seriously, if not
fatally, injured llavid Presley, a
butcher, employed by the N'eil-I.oos-ley
company, driver Of the dugon
and also badly bruised and cut up
Frank McAdams. who was riding o,i
the wagon with Presley. Presley was
drugged for .'1110 feet and was fount
leu minutes after the accident hap
pened, caged beneath the cow-catcher
of the engine in a semi-unconscious
condition, with his hips very badly
crushed. He also sustained other in
juries, ami the doctors liaruly expect
him to survive the trip to Portland.
where he was taken on the limited
train, which followed the local.
Presley, before being taken to Port-'
laud, made a ilcHisitiou in which lie'
stated that he did not hear nor sec,
the train as he was driving down the!
street towards the crossing : also tliu.i
neither was the bell rung or a w histle i
blown by the engineer at the cross
ing. The evidence of other eye wit-;
nsses tnds lo'ciirrolmrate his story, j
The engine cut tlie rig in two between !
the horses and the wmroo. one of the
horses being badly cut. but the oth'i
was not even scratched.
