The elevation Is U.OOO f.-et, with plenty of chilly weather, l.ut apparently no danger of late spring frosts." Continuing on to Oak (ilea, Mr. Waturliury visited both an older ami higher section, where the trees had lieen set out 10 to 40 years ago at an elevation of just one tulle above tin sea. On one side were the San Iter- uardluo ami old (iorgonlo tuoii:i talus, their tops another mile higher la the air, while from the west the cool sea breezes were distinctly no tlceable. The first runch visited was owned by Harris Itros., of Kedlands, and com prised 15 acres of ll'-year-old trees, comprising wlnesaps, Koines und a few Whiter Pearinalns. More than 15,000 props supported the fruit ami the props looked as though they had been working overtime. This crop has been sold to Klvers I'.ros., of Los Angeles, at $15,000, or at tia ra te of $1,000 an acre. Their packing foreman estimates the'erop at more than 10,000 packed boxes from the ll'-year-old trees. The Lukens or chard showed the same results, every limb taxi d to Its utmost and every apple almost perfect lu color, size and firmness. The color of the fruit was unusually good, lu fact equal to anything Mr. Waterbnry has seen from the celebrated Washington, Or. egon ami Colorado districts. 1 lie red apples took several prizes for that kind of fruit at the Watsonville apple show this fall. Isaac Ford has 40 acres In full bearing trees, from which he was taking ("bout NMI packed boxes per acre, anil selling his fruit on the trees. Mr. Ford has a citrus grove at Kedlands, where he spends the winter. He stated that the present crop was not unusual and that for the last five years large crops of well mat ured fruit hail been the rule. Other growers made the same state ment anil said their orchards were bringing about 1,000 per acre yearly. With the opening of the Panama canal, the apple orchards of South ern alifornla will have to be reck oned with In the world's trade. FOUR THOUSAND SHEEP MAROONED IN MOUNTAINS The Grass Valley Journal says four thousand sheep owned by S. ,1. Small, of Mt. Vernon, are marooned In the snow on the divide between Murderer'H creek and the John Day river, hfforts to move them have been futile and the loss will be great If the sheep are not rescued ill the next day or two. Kescue parties are now at work, according to a dis patch dated November L'oth. The herders who had the sheep In charge were caught In a storm and, being Inexperienced men, allowed thesherp to wander half a in lie from the regu lar trail Into the canyon. The sheep have been nearly ten days without food or drink, and are reported to be eating the wool from each other's backs. Many are d.xlng from cold and exposure.

ClarrUnd. Ohio SALEM APPLES WENT OUT UNDER OWN LABEL In an article published In The Jour. Hal last week It was stated that apples grown In the Wallace orchard at Salem were being sent out under u Hood Klver label. This, savs The Joarnal, has been found to lie In correct. The Journal has, therefore, made a ful and complete correction of the story, as follows: "Protest was made regarding the article by the Hood Klver firm said to have shipped the apples under Its own label, and upon Investigation It has been found that the report had no foundation. "The Information upon which the article was based was given to Tin: Journal by a person whojiro fessed to know that the fruit was being sent out as the product of Hood Klver, but after a thorough In vestigation It has been found that the npples were sent out with the regulur Wallace orchards label, which bears the Inscription In large type: '(irown and packed at the Wallace Orchards, Salem, Or.,' thus giving credit for the quality to the section that produced them." As It was no secret here that the firm referred to was the Davidson Fruit Company, which has large In terests In the valley, It Is of Interest to kuow that the Injustice done to the company has been righted by a full retraction and explanation.
