ON PEAR RECORDS.
Sunday's Oregonian contains a Roseburg dispatch pub
lished under the caption, "Unipqua Valley Pear Ship
ment Brings Highest Price of Season to Date," which
reads as follows :
"With a banner 25 feet long bearing the words "Ump
qua Valley Pears, shipped by the IV. C. Harding Land
Company," a carload of d'Anjou and Clairgeau 2ears left
Rpseburg yesterday for New York city.
"Tim fruit was raised by Dr. George A. Bradburn on
his Edenbower, orchard. The shipment comprised 660
boxes, for which Mr. Bradburn received $1485, or $2.25
per box. So far as known this is the highest pricce ever
paid the grower for Umpqua Valley pears, and higher titan
tcogue liiver valley is saia 10 nave received so ur utt? sen
son."
This is part of the advertising campaign being con
ducted by the Harding Land company and otner umpqua
valley land speculators to inflate the value of the untried
fruit lands they are selling the public. Portland papers
all carry large' ads from Harding and others offering
tracts on easy terms.
There is no objection to Umpqua valley growers boom
ing their product, but they should not try to do so at the
expense of other localities, by means of deliberate false
hoods. - No returns have been received on d'Anjou pears by
Rogue River valley shippers as yet, but over one hundred
cars of Bartletts have been heard from, which with a few
exceptions, due to tardy arrivals and delay in transit, net
ted an average of $2.25 a box to growers.
The Burrell orchard netted i. o. b. Mediord ifL'.oo a
box on one car of Bartletts shipped to Chicago, and $2.45
a box on a car shipped to Boston. The Bear Creek, the
Gore, the Buckeye orchards, the Rogue River Fruit Grow
ers' union and other shippers have netted similar aver
ages. " i a -"S':?TaKi:! ami
Several cars of Howells from Medford have brought
better average prices, equal to those brought by the Bart
letts. The Hillcrest orchard sold two cars of Howells m
"Chicago at $3.40 gross, or $2.70 net to the' growers.
D'Anjou pears bring higher prices than either Jiart
lett or Howells, and when the returns are received, Rogue
River d'Anjous will be found leading the world for high
prices, as other varieties have this year, and all varieties
have in years gone bv, for the Medford district is now ac
knowledged the world's greatest producer of fancy pears.
The Umpqua Valley d'Anjous brought a good price,
but bv no means a record breaker, and the value of Ump
qua Vallev land as a pear producer is still to be deter;
mined. Twentv vears of production back Rogue River
valley, so it is small wonder the Umpqua Valley speculative
sharks try to enhance the value of the land they are dump
ing upon the public by false comparison with those of a
tried and proven district. - '
The last circular letter from Sgobel & Day, the .New
York commission men, under date of September 14, states
that Medford Bartletts sold at an average of $2.89 a box
as against $2.50 for Hood River, and $2.22 for Proyo.
"Medford Bartletts," states the circular, " are. generally
very handsome and beautifully packed, but those from
other sections leave something to be desired in one way or
another. Comment is superfluous." i
The Oregonian is not to be blamed for printing the
false statement. Harding is a good advertiser and then
the Oregonian is jilst discovering southern Oregon, and
its voyage of exploration is only partially completed.
When it discovers the pear records of the Rogue River
valley it will nail the American flag above them as beat
ing the world, as Cook and Peary nailed it to the north
pole. ' ' ''-
INSURGENTS RULED OUT.
(ton in the negative. I am not here to defend those who
voted tortlie ratine (till, but to suiinort tin in.
The president praised Payne, Tawney and Aldrh'h and
pronounced all the new schedules O. K. except that of
wool, and denied that it was the purpose of the republican
l-iany to re im- uit lariri downward.
Party solidarity is placed ahead of evervthinir else bv
the president. " believed the interests of the country,
utc nirertsTs or ine party, required me to sacrifice the ac
complish ntent of certain things in tariff revision which J
had hoped for, in order to maintain imrtii solidaritu. which
I believe to be much more important than the reduction of
rates in one or two schedules." asserted the president.
President Taft's declarations show that "stand-pat-tism"
and "Cannonisin" and "Aldrichism" have won him
over and are in triumphant possession of the republican
party. The "Interests" are again in the saddle, as they
were under McKinley, and one by one the "Roosevelt pol
icies" of reform are being sidetracked for the benefit of
those who contributed the campaign funds.

President Taft took a bold stand at Winona last week,
when he virtually read out of the republican patty the
"insurgents" who voted against the Payne-Aldrieh bill,
which he declared "the best tariff bill the people have
ever known" and pronounced tariff revision at an end
during his administration.
The president asserted that the "insurgents" who vot
ed against the bill had abandoned the republican party.
