FOLLOW
New York Firm Has High Praise for
Medford Bartletts and the
Manner of Their
Packing.
EACH DAY LOCAL PEARS
HAVE TOPPED THE MARKET
Six Cars of d'Anjous Have Been
Shipped During Past
Week.
The favor which Rogue River pears
meet in New York is xhown strikingly
in a market letter issued by Sgobel
& Day, fruit brokers of New York,
under' date of September 14. They
say : i
"The Medford Bartletts arc gen
erally very handsome and beauti
fully packed, but those from other
sections leave something to be de
sired one way or another. We wild
our first care of Cornice pears today,
half boxes, and made immense prices,
as quoted above, equal to $().50 per
box. - Comment is superfluous. It
bears out what we have been telling
everybody. This is l'.IOl), and n year
of great prosjicrity. Several more of
these cars to bo sold shortly.
In the foregoing statement is
found the reason that is responsible
for the Rogue pears topping the mar
ket each day in the cast.
Top Other Sections.
In the same letter under the head
of "Sales Made" Medford Bartletts
averaged $2.87. Hood River $2.f0,
Provo $2.22. Walla Walla $2.1.'), thus
lopping prices paid for fruit from all
sections. One day would not be much
of a criterion, but the fact has held
throughout. Not n day has passed
but Medford pears have led others.
Six cars of d'Anjous have been
shipped during the past week, two
from Hillcrest, two from Bear Creek
n ml two by J. X. Perry for the Rogue
River Kruit Growers' union.

Frightened Marauder, Who j
Vacated. j
An attempt was made to break
into the house of Ti. M. Lyon of East
Seventh Sunday night, while Mr. Lyon
was absent. The house was occu
pied by Mrs. Lyon, a lady friend and
two girls, of which fact the robber
seemed to know. His burglarship
was intent on entering the house
via the pantry window, when the
house was suddenly flooded -by light
and he found himself an object of
interest to the inmates of the house.
He conceived the idea that his room
was more desirable than his presence

hearty welcome.

SUNDAY'S GAME
SLOW AND DULL
Deciding Game Between Hilt and
Grants Pass Won by a
Score of 1 1 to 4.
The final deciding game between
Hilt and Grants Pass Sunday failed
to create much enthusiasm among the
fans who witnessed, enither did the
players themselves seem to more than
casually interested. . .
It was a slow and uninteresting
game throughout, unless it wns the
first inning when Grants Pass intro
duced a combination of football and
mumblepeg' which gave the Calif or
ninns five runs. They tried it again
in the fourth canto and netted three
for the snwmillers.
The Fishermen just naturally
couldn't stay on the earth at critical
moments. A couple of neat double
plays were thrown into the melee, but
lessoutside. of these tho 'game was
featureless. The score at the end
stood 11 to 4. The batteries were:
Hilt Mclntyre. Wick and Shaw;
Grants Pass Riggs and Eddings.
The Hoosiors say that they will not
hold their reunion until pumpkin pies
and good cider are available.
H. C. Kentner will move what re
mains of his residence on Ninth street
