FRUITS CHIEF CROP
Experts Say Medford Imports
Vegetables and Hay.
SOIL SURVEY PUBLISHED
Gravelly Sandy txm Declared to Be
Especially Adapted to Alfalfa.
Attention to Irrigation
Suggested.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. "Apple and
pears are the principal crop of the
valley and the excellence of these
fruita has made the . region widely
known, both In thia country and for
eign markets. Some of the smaller
fruits, vegetables and hay are also
grown, but. the production of these
crops are not sufficient to supply home
demands, and large quantities are
shipped in annually." Such la the In
teresting statement contained In the
soil surrey report made some time
ago by experts of the bureau of soils,
of the Department of Agriculture, of
the Medford area, in Oregon, contain
ing 54 square miles or Ms.160 acres
of Taller and adjacent hill and moun
tain lands in the central part of Jack
son County.
The report continues: "The soils of
the area are numerous and fall prin
cipally into two classes, residual and
alluvial. All of the mountain and foot
hill soils are largely residual, but in
clude some oolluvlal material and va
ries In texture from the fine sandy loam
to a clayey adobe. Practically all of
the soils except those occuring In the
treeless districts, known as the "desert,-
are covered with a heavy growth
of tree and brush.
Lev Prices Declared J m rifled.
Irrigation is not extensively prac
ticed, its development having been re
tarded by the cost of Installing a sat
isfactory system and by the attitude
of farmers towards such undertakings.
The prices asked for orchard land, al
though apparently high, are, it Is said.
Justified by the Teturns secured when
orchards are given proper care. The
price of land not set In fruit trees is
high and has tended to restrict the
agricultural development of the valley
to the production of fruit."
The report contains a full descrip
. tlon of the different types of soils of
the county and the agricultural condi
tions and prospects. The report will
be Illustrated by a map In colors show
ing the different types of soils and
their locations, every church, school
house, farmhouse, town, settlement,
road and stream in the county.
While a small amount of alfalfa is
grown in the area, the soils will yield
from two to five tons an acre. The
Medford gravelly fine sandy loam has
proved admirably adapted to alfalfa
without irrigation, with a 'yield of
from four to six tons to the acre be
ing maintained regularly year after
year.
CMdlrleas Fint Vegetables.
The truck and vegetable crops have
been neglected, a large supply , of the
demand in the area having been
shipped In by express. In this connec
tion the report says: "There is ab
solutely no reason why the product
' Imported should not be grown within
the valley. The soils and climatic
conditions are favorable, the only re
quirements being an extensive develop
ment of Irrigation facilities and a
movement to divert a part of the en
ergy of the farmers along new lines.
Apart from early fruits and vegetables
shipped in from other sections, as the
climate does not favor an extremely
early production of fruits and veg
etables, the valley could well afford
to be a shipper of this class of produce
rather than an Importer."
The report says that strawberries
do well on the heavier granite soils
near Ashland, and upon the floor of the
valley, except the adobes and upon the
lighter members of the soils of the
agate series. Their production is suc
cessful upon the soils of the creek bot
toms, but they will mature a little
later than on the higher soils.

County Judge of Linn County, haa lived in this county practically his entire

who now resides In Portland, came to Oregon in 1852 and took up a donation
land claim near Tallman. In this county. D. B. McKnlght was reared on the

ty Aaseseor of Linn County In 1902. When be retires the first of next year to

as told to the Senate committee by
Williams early in the week.
Richard Bradley, of Scranton, Pa.,
another prospective buyer, told of of
fering $20,000 for the option, and said
that W. A. May, an official of the
Hillside Coal & Iron Company, sent him
a form of a contract of sale just be
fore the investigation of Judge Arch-
bald's conduct became public. Witness
was questioned closely by Representa
tive Clayton as to the reason which
May gave for recalling the contract a
day or two later.
The letter was produced, in ' which
May wrote to Bradley: "Because of
complications brought to your atten
tion yesterday, he called off theeale."
Witness Knows Ne Reason.
Bradley swore that May never gave
him any reasons for ending negotia
tions and that he was unable to ex
plain the phrase. Bradley was certain
that May did not say it was because of
the Archbald Investigation. May tes
tified that he had explained it was be
cause of complications as to title, but
Bradley could not remember that.
With $0,000, Bradley testified, he ex
pected to make "a little money out of
the culm pile." He said he did not
know Williams and Archbald were pay
ing only $8000 for the property.
The trial will continue Monday.
ENGLISH ENGINEERS STRIKE
Punishment of Drunken Employe
. Resented by Fellovs-Workers.
LONDON. Dec. 7. A great strike was
declared today by the locomotive engi
neers of the Northeastern Railroad
Company because one of the engineers
engaged on the main line, owing to a
conviction for drunkenness, while off
duty, was reduced to running a pilot
engine.
The punished man had been promised
by the management that if- his future
conduct was good he would be rein
stated In his old position, but the Loco
motive Engineers' Union demanded his
immediate reinstatement and as this
was not granted by the company the
men were called out.
Three thousand of the company's
engineers have already quit work and
the whole railroad, mainline as well as
branches, is disorganised.
SETTLEMENT IS URGED
CAMFORXIAXS PLEAD FOR SA-
CREDESS OP TREATY.
President Asked to Reach Agreement
With Britain on Protest as
to Oanal.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 7. A petition
to President Taft asking that the Ad
ministration seek "an honorable and
amicable settlement with Great Britain
of that country's protest against the
Panama Canal act." has been signed
by Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of
the university of California; uavia
Starr- Jordan, president of Stanford
University; Archbishop Riordan, of the
Roman Catholic diocese of San Fran
cisco; Representative Kent and other
Influential Callfornians. to whom it
seems that parts, of the act are a vlo
latlon of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
The text of the petition and the list of
signers were made public here tonight.
It is recommended that the Adminis
tration seek an amicable and honorable
settlement of this question either
through diplomatic negotiations or by
recommending to congress tne ameno-
ment of such parts of Its recent act as
may be questionable.
The petition says that the Issue is
"whether our country is observing an
International pledge" and holds that
neither nation would have the right in
dependently to interpret the treaty.
The petition concludes:
"It Is our earneBt conviction that as
a people we can better suffer same
limitation of our freedom -of legisla
tion and some commercial aisaa.'an
tage. rather than disregard or appear
to disregard a treaty negotiated in gooi
faith and solemnly ratified."
