The action of the Central Point justice court jury in disregarding evidence arid returning a verdict of not guilty in a case where the testimony proved conclusively that the 'defendants were guilty of dumping saw dust in Big Butte creek, proves how difficult it is to enforce laws designed to protect fish and game. Apparently the fact that the de fendant was a fellow townsman outweighed the oaths taken by the jurors to render a verdict according to the law and evidence. ' ' " Prosecutions for these game law violations are usual ly half hearted. No special instance of this is in mind, hut as a rule the district attorney will he found dodging the issue by appointing some deputy who does not care to cre ate eneinies by vigorous prosecution any more than the dis trict attorney does. ' Whafr avail is it for the pe6ple of this section to raise funds to restock streams and work for protective legisla tion, if we are going to permit the slaughter of the fry by sawdust poisoning? Gore Bartlett orchard' of 7 1-2 acres seven cars have al ready been shipped, and three more are being picked. This is a yield of 10 cars for 7 1-2 acres, or (5,000 boxes. At $3.23 gross a box, this represents a net profit of 1 1,400 ,or $1,520 an acre. As the price is rapidly advancing, better prices will be secured and it is not improbable that the Gore orchard will net its owner 1 ,800 or $2,000 an acre this year. The Bear Creek, liurrell and other orchards will yield not profits approximately as large for Bartletts, and this is but one variety. Can any fruit region on earth equal the Rogue river valley as a profit producer? No, because the finest fruit is grown and groves are more prolific than anywhere else under the sun. RAISE $2,000 FOR FORTUNES IN BARTLETTS. Rogue river Bartletts are selling at record prices. The first car brought $3.23 a box' in Chicago. This is at the rate of $1,938 a car, and the Burrell orchard, from which this car was picked, is running better than a car to the acre. . Assuming that thej output was a car to the ,at-re, gross ,ing $1,938, the average cost to grow, pack and ship is un der 60 cents a box. The cost for freight and commission in . Chicago is approximately 75 cents a box. Hence a price of $1.35 in Chicago represents the cost to the grower and $3.23 gross means a net profit of approximately $1 .90 a box, or $1,140 an acre to the grower. Some orchards will do even better than this. From the Coos Bay Commercial Bodies Will Prosecute Work Vigorously MARSITFIELD, Or., Aug. 25.

J.OKC S decree is affirmed. The decision is important in us much as a number of other ports ure undergoing a procrcss of incorpora tion similar to that of tho port of Coos Bay, and the legality of tho in corporation of llio first port has' a direct bearing on the validity of the. formation of all tho others. Tho principles involved in tho case go' back to stato rights. It wos con tended by the plaintiff that by tho creation of the, port of Cooa Bay tho powers of tho' several small . towns and municipalities that were, include od in tho larger corporation would be curtuilcd beyond tho privileges con ferred on them by ' tho legislative body of the stato. .Judge King holds however, that should this nrincinle become established. Oreiron would soon be a conglomeration of small stales instead of being one state. Tea, coffee, beer or claret, with club lunch, 30 cents, at tho Emerick Cafe. Crater Lake Chapter, R. A.
