Rogue River valley apples will be
adequately represented at the Spo
kuno apple vhow this year, if tho
plans of the Commercial club are car
ried out and a car each of fancy
Spitzenhergs and -Newtowns be dis
played. A committee, headed by
John D. Olwcll, was appointed Wed
nesday night to take up the subject
of transportation with the Southern
Pacific and secure tho railroad's co
operation, so that the display can be
mad.
Messrs. Tronson & Guthrie of Ea
gle Point offor to puck and ship a
ear of funcy Spitzenhergs, as fine
apples ns ever grew, and display
them nt Spokane, piovriding arrange
ments cnu bo made for side-tracking
the car at Spokane and repacking
the fruit without extra cost.
Ad Helms, who owns a record
breaking Newtown Pippins orchard
at the south end of tho 'valley, has
made the club the same proposition
on a car of fancy Newtowns, and
the-outlook is favorable that this
section will he for the first time in
its history adequately represented ut
an outside display, and in nil proba
bility carry off the sweepstakes prize
of $1500 in the onrlood clnss, which
carries with it tho championship of
tho world nnd the title of qunlity,
"Apple King of America."
The rules nnd scoring points adopt
ed ore those of the American Pomoo
logical society, which takes into con
sideration tho commercial value of
the fruit, nnd so places Newtown
and Spitzenborg ahead of Baldwins,
Jonnthnns nnd other cheaper varie
ties. Because these rules did not
govern Inst year's display, Hood Riv
er refused to display its fruit. This
year Hood River will be on hand.
As there is a shortnge of apples in
nil the northwest districts, includ
ing Ynkimn, Wenntchee, Hood River
nnd Grand Ronde, nnd a fair crop
and fino qunlity in the Rogue River
valley, tho display from this section,
if made, stands a good chance of
enrrving off the grand prize. '
All told, $25,000 in prizes will be
distributed by Professor H. E. Van

Commltls Appointed to Make Ar

Promised All Who
Attend.
EVERY MEMBER OF CLUB
TO TRY FOR NEW MEMBERS
Judge Colvig Urges the Club to Great
er Efforts in Future to Keep
Up Its Good Work.
' f
The annual jinks smoker and boost
er meeting of the Medford Commer
cial elub will be held Wednesday eve
ning, October 20. Wednesday night
committees were appointed to arrange
for the celebration, which will be held
at the opera house.
An elaborate musical program is
planned, interspersed with humorous
features and greater Medford
speeches. Delicious refreshments
will be served and an evening of en
joyment guaranteed to all.
Every member of the Commercial
club is appointed a committee of one
to secure new members, and all busi
ness men of the city are expected to
turn out in full force. Every pres
ent member is expected to secure at
least one new member that there may
be no leti-p in the work of building
i up a greater Medford. Messrs. Put
nam, Ray nnd Welch were appointed
I as the committee in charge of nr
I rnngomeuts, nnd Messrs. Ohvell, Mil
! ler, Lyons. Whislor nnd Klum were
! named ns the committee to assist in
enlarging the membership nt the
smoker.
"The term of the present officers
expires the first meeting in Novem
ber, when new officials will be chos
en," states President Colvig in n brief
nppenl to those present at Wednes
day's meeting. "The material prog
ress nnd advancement of Medford,
the wide publicity the city has re
ceived, its advertisement throughout
tho country,' is due to the efforts of
the Commercial cjub. The program
of municipal improvement, the new
wnter works, sewer system, street
paving, were nil inaugurated by the
club. Tho Medford Commercial club
represents the progressive spirit of
the people. It hns done a great work
and has still greater work to do. To
accomplish its purpose, it must have
the united support of the community.
All must come in and lend a hand.
"Medford cannot afford to ponnit
n halt in the forward movement.
Once started, like tho big snowbnll of
our childhood days, it is easy to
keep the ball rolling, growing bigger
nil the time. But let it stop, it freezes
to the ground -and requires three
times ns mueh energy to start again.
We have got the ball rolling, grow
ing bigger nil the time, nnd we must
keep it moving.
"Plans to keep it moving will be
discussed nt tho smoker, nnd it is
hoped thnt the club will thereupon
shake off the summer lethargy and
emerge twico as strong nnd twice as
active."
Last year's pamphlet committee,
consisting of Messrs. rutnnm, Nye
nnd-Millor, was reappointed to socuve
dntn and compile a new pamphlet for
the coming yenr.
Committees were named to draft
resolutions on' the death of E. IT.

LOSS BY FIRE
III FORESTS IS
DIMINISHED
This Season's Fire Only Destroyed
$3000 Worth of Standing Tim-
ber Last Year's Loss
Over $25,000. -
TELEPH0NE LINE IS
COMPLETED TO ODESSA
This Winter's Work Will Consist of
Mapping Forest and Taking
Stock of Timber.
During this simmer the local of
fcials have had 25 forest fires to
contend with in the Crater national
forest. The loss will amount to
about 1,500,000 feet of lumber, val
ued at $3000. The showing is a cred
itable one, as the loss during the
forest fire season of 1908 was over
$25,000 in the same territory.
The secret of the success met with
this j-ear' is the fact that a closer
watch was kept for fires and they
were reached with greater dispatch,
being extinguished before they had
gained headway.
Now that the fire season is at an
end, the force will be cut down until
it will consist of a supervisor, a
scaler, a clerk, a deputy supervisor,
two assistants and eight rangers.
The forestry service has complet
ed the construction of a telephone
line from the end of the city's sys
tem nt the intake of the gravity wa
ter system on Little Butte creek over
the Fish lake pass to Odessa and
Pelican Bay with side lines to dif
ferent parts of the forest. This line
will prove of great benefit in con
nection with the fighting of fire, as
aid can be summoned promptly.
The work of the local office dur
ing the winter will consist of more
completely mapping the forest and
gathering information relative to the
stand of timber, kind and the like.
Supervisor M. L. Erickson has just
cause to feel proud of the showing
made this year.

The Medford . Commercial

sen-ices of E. H. Harriman "
to this country in his able
management and . control of
the leading railway system of

ing with pleasure that he was
within the recent past nn hoi!-

knowing as we do that he had
in mind and contemplated en-
terprises of great importance
to the state of Oregon, which
were only arrested by his un-
timely death, take this oppor-
tunity of expressing our high
estimate of his worth nnd bur
sincere sorrow over his death,"
which we regard as a distinct "
loss to the people of the- Unit-
ed States and particularly to
the people of the state of Ore-
