EVANGELIST TO PREACH
Apple Acreage Is Ertenslve and
Crop Xets Fancy Profits to Grow
ers Small Frnlts Yield Well
In Rogue River Valley.
ASOTjAVD. July 31. f9peclaD In the
Immediate Ashland section of the great
Rogue River Valley inuc aisrnci me
nmsnwli are excellent for a prosperous
year generally for growers of peaches.
apples and all Kinas oi sinau mh
berries. The peach acreage has not ma
terially Increased during the past year,
but a line crop this year and bumper
prices are expected to cause a boom in
peachgrowing. and result in more or
chards being planted.
The peaches this year are a somewnai
henvier eroo than last year, and are
much better In quality. The early and
inferelor varieties thus far marketed
have brought about Jl a box of 20
pounds In the northern markets. The
real Ashland peach Is found In the Craw
fords and later varieties, so that If they
get their desserts as far as price Is con
cerned In comparison with the early
varieties peaches ought to realize a hand
some profit to growers this year, better
than almost any other variety of fruit.
Peaches are easier to raise and of less
expense than apples or pears. Last year
there was exported rrom Asniana ap
nroximately 60 cars of peaches. This
year's crop will probably be larger, ac
cording to the best estimates obtainable.
An idea of the growth of the apple
acreage the past year is shown by the
fact that upon one tract of land In the
immediate vicinity of the city there have
been 240 acres devoted to new apple or
chards. Small orchards of five and ten
and 20 acres have been planted on every
hand until It Is difficult to estimate the
total acreage which, while reaching thou
sands of acres in the Rogue River "Valley
district, runs to many hundreds of acres
within a radius of three or four miles
of Ashland. Little attention has been
paid until the last year or two In the
Immediate vicinity of Ashland to com
mercial apple orchards, but a few years
hence will see an Immense product, ac
cording to present prospects.
Last year was not a good year for
apples and the total shipments from
Ashland probably did not exceed 25 car
loads. This year the quality Is not only
better but the product much greater.
Other sections of the valley of Rogue
River have most of the commercial pear
orchards, and the shipments of pears
from here are comparatively small.
Ashland leads all other sections of the
Rogue River Valley easily in small fruits
and berries and gardening, the acreage
devoted to these being julte extensive,
with the excellent Irrigation facilities at -hand.
They are always a sure crop and
a prolific one yielding good profits with
careful attention.

CAPITOL IS SOLID
State House Was Built Before
Days of Graft.
GROUNDS ARE ' IMPROVED
Cement Walks Laid and New Shrub
bery and Flowers Planted at Sa
lem Tile Floors to Bo
Placed In Bnllding.
SALEM. Or.. July 81- (Special.) The
betterment work that haa been In prosr
resa for some months at the State Capi
tol has demonstrated to all who have
taken the trouble to Investigate that
the building is solid as a rock and ab
solutely safe. "The Capitol 'was built
before the days of graft," said one
state official, "and was honestly con
structed. It is remarkably substantial.
The walls are all of solid brick, fully
two feet thick. Even the partitions
between the rooms are of solid brick.
The building- is as safe and solid as
any Portland business block."
By the terms of Chapter 186, $49,010
was appropriated by the last Legisla
ture for improvements about the build
ing. Considerable of the work pro
vided for In the law is now under way.
The lawn has been spaded up and re
seeded for the first time since 189.
Xew shrubbery and flowers have been
planted, and the grounds will be more
beautiful than ever by next year. A
complete system of cement walks will
be built, and this work is now well un
der way.
A spot at the northwest corner of the
building, where wood has been hauled
and unloaded before being shoved down
a chute into the basement, and which
has always been an eyesore,' Is being
covered with a cement floor, which will
do away with the mud question at this
point for all time. A new pipeline is
being laid from the penitentiary and
the asylum to the Statehouse. This will
give more power at the statehouse, and
make It possible for the Capitol ele
vator to be operated at a respectable
speed.
The Improvements In the Interior of
the building will be quite as marked
and noticeable as those to be made to
the grounds and surroundings. The en
tire first and second floors will be tiled
and the new floor will be embellished
with a beautiful pink Tennessee mar
ble base. Before the new floor goes
down, however, the building will be re
wired, the wires to be placed In con
duits and run between the floors. It is
declared to be a miracle that there
have not been some disastrous fires In
the Statehouse before this time, as the
wires are In bad condition and liable to
result In a conflagration at any time.
The rewiring will commence next week.
The basement has been excavated, and
fireproof vaults will be built.
In one or two places the main floor
will be relnforoed with steel beams,
and many other repairs of a minor na
ture will be made. However, the work
has developed the fact that the build
ing Itself Is remarkably substantial,
and Is good for an unlimited number
of years.
