Professor A. R.

At a special meeting of the Milwaukie City Council held Tuesday night, an or dinance was introduced repealing the or dinance by which there was granted by the city to the Milwaukie Country Club a license to conduct a pool room. It is reported the repealing ordinance will be passed by the Council. In eliminating that part of the license pertaining to the pool room, it is probable that the cases now pending against the proprietors of the Milwaukie resort may be dropped as pool selling has constituted the principal objection the authorities have held against the place. ,One of the most enjoyable events of the season was that of a family reunion ten dered in honor of Mrs. J.

Stuart, two prominent physicians and surgenos of this city, have been made defendants in a suit for $5000 damages that was brought in the state circuit court by J. M. Marlin, administrator of the estate of Maggie Goetjen. In his complaint Marlin alleges that the Goetjen woman died July 20, 1903, from the effects of a surgical operation performed by the de fendants in the performance of which they are charged with unskilled and negli gent professional services. Wm. Reid and Magers and Hosford are attorneys for the plaintiff. About a year ago a similar suit was filed by the husband of the woman, but the proceeding was dis missed on the strength of a demurrer which recited that the suit was irregu larly brought since there - had not been appointed an administrator to the es tate and through such officer only could a damage suit be brought. The Kampmeetingi at New Era that is being held by the Spiritualists -"of Ore gon, has proven so much of a success In point of interest and attendance, it has W August 6, one week longer than adver- tised.

By means of the additional $1000 that has been made available for the purpose by the Clackamas county court and the energetic work of County Judge Ryan and other members of the committee in charge, the exhibit from this county at the Lewis & Clark Fair is dally assum ing a more creditable state.

Every .resident in the county has an interest in the exhibit and by as sisting the committee in every possible way, will be in a position to share the credit that will be given the county for its representative display. A FRUIT-GROWER'S UNION. Some of the Advantages That Attend Co operation In Marketing. At the request of a number of fruit growers a meeting is called at the Cour ier office on Saturdayy, Julyy 22, at 8 p. m., shary, to consiaer tne advisaDiiity of organizing a union of the fruit grow ers of Josephine county, says the Grants Pass Courier. Such is the interest taken in the move ment that it is expected that there will be a large attendance of those interested in the growing of fruit. It is now more than ten years since the movement began for the organizing of fruit-growers' unions and now there is not a large fruit district but what has a union. Fruit is so perishable, and it is so easy to glut a market and break prices to a ruinous rate, together with the ab sorbtion of the greater part of the pro- fits by the commission men, and the ex cessive freight charges on small ship- ments, that it is forcing the growers to combine their interests and organize unions. Many of the first fruit raisers of Hood River found the business so un profitable . that they plowed up their strawberry fields and allowed their or chards to go to neglect, as are now so many orchards in this county. Withthe formation of a union profit came to the business and once again the planting of strawberries and fruit trees was under taken and so profitable has the industry proven that Hood River Valley is be coming one great orchard tract. Hood River town from a straggling, dead vil lage has become one of the most pros perous, growing young cities in Oregon, while the Valley is dotted with fine farm homes, and has fine roads, rural mail and telephone facilities. Ashland and Medford each have strong unions and the fruit growers of those sections are making and increasing their acreage at a rate that is astonishing to strangers. The leading factor in Ash land's growth is the backing it receives from the fruit industry, while In the greater part of the deposits in the three banks of Medford is to the credit of the fruitgrowers of that district. An in stance of the betterment that the Ash land Fruit Growers' Association has brought to the peach industry is the fact thai several years ago, ' before the union was formed, the owner of a fine peach orchard finding peaches unprofitable dug up his trees. Since the organization of the union and better prices to be had this same land has been planted to peaches and Is now yielding the owner a larger profit than it did when in grain or hay, The apple quotations of last fall show that the growers of Hood River and Med ford were paid from $1.80 to $2.20 a box for their Spitzenburg and Newtown ap ples, while the growers of Josephine county were able to realize but from 80c to $1 per box. A peach grower from this section got returns from a commission house of but 11 cents a box after the freight had been paid on a shipment of 300 boxes of fine Crawfords. The remain ing 1000 boxes of his crop he then allowed his hogs to eat. An apple grower sent last fall a shipment of 150 boxes of apples to two dealers in Portland. The apples were of the same kind and of the same picking and packing, yet one commission man remitted 27 cents a box less than the other dealer did to the grower. The Courier could give other instances "" of fruit growers securing but bare cost for their fruit from commission men. Rogue River climate and soil is the same in Jose phine county as it is in Jackson county and produces as fine apples about Grants Pass as it does about Medford, but the market conditions are not the same to growers of the two districts and that ac counts for the Grants Pass growers bare ly making expenses while the Medford growers were reaping a big profit. The ' reduction of freight charges through car load shipments and the cur tailment, or elimination of the middle men's profits, are not all the advantages that the union brings to the grower. Ev ery member is taught howN to grade and pack his fruit so that it will make the best showing possible and stand shipment without bruising. The varieties of fruit to plant, the adaptation of certain soils for certain fruits, the method of planting, cultivating, pruning, spraying and of picking are made leading features of the meetings that are held by the unions and growers are thus enabled to learn many points that will materially aid them in making a success of their undertaking. s This is a matter that might be taken up by the fruit growers of Clackamas county, with profit to themselves and in the interest of this important industry.
