Sale of AdTertialnK In Bnlk la Also Suceeated as Method of Add ing; to Profit. Pursuant to a meeting; held at Crater Lake during the recent State Editorial Convention, 11 publishers of daily pa pers in Oregon decided to call a meet ing of all the daily paper publishers in the state to be held In Portland at the Commercial Club September 11 at 10 A. M. The high cost of paper, metal and other necessities of the publishing busi ness warrants an effort to purchase this material in larger quantities, and It is believed considerable money can be saved through Joint bulk orders. Several of the publishers have sug gested that If all the dallies would sub mit to an audit by the Audit Bureau of Circulation of Chicago, the list could be sold as a unit and bring a larger line of new Eastern advertisers to the Oregon papers which are not receiving same at present.

HOME PROSPECTS BRIGHT Wave of Improving Business Iue to Good Crops Heavy Shipments of Rogue River Pears Are Going Out Every Day. S. S. Smith, editor of the Medford Sun, and Republican State Committee man from Jackson County, has been in Portland for the last few days, at tending to political and private busi ness. He left for his home last night accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. B. T. DeLosh. of Aberdeen, Wash., who came to Portland to join him. "Jackson County will go for Hughes this year," said Mr. Smith yesterday. "We have been off color politically for the last few years, but there is a strong reversal of sentiment there now and we'll give Hughes and Fairbanks a big plurality." Mr. Smith reports that Medford and the surrounding country are enjoying a wave of improving business due to the good crops. Heavy shipments of the famous Rogue River pears are going out of Medford every day. The crop this year is the heaviest in years and will exceed 1200 cars. "The threatened railroad strike would have been a hardship on the pear pro ducing districts of Southern Oregon, had It continued long," he explained. "Most of our shipments are golmir to New York, and other Eastern cities. When the war is over the Rogue River country expects to market many of its pears and apples in Europe.

The increased acreage, soon to come into bearing, will be ready to supply additional markets after the war. "Medford expects to secure at least one beet sugar factory within the next few months and has an excellent chance of getting two. Two separate concerns contemplate plants there. Consequently much farm land will be devoted to beet sugar culture and many new families will settle In the county. "The city recently issued bonds for a new railroad, to tap the Kendall tim ber district and will secure a box factory and other important industries as soon as this project is developed." Another cause for optimism at Med ford, says Mr. Smith, is the increasing popular interest in Crater Lake Na tional Park. The county, the state and the Federal Government are co-operating in building a road to Crater Lake and thousands of tourists are attracted every year. The 85-mile road between Medford and the famous lake now is established on a maximum grade of 6 per cent and plans are on foot to treat it with a hard-surface pavement. "With a Republican victory in pros pect next November, Medford looks to the future with confidence and seren ity," asserts Mr. Smith. DRY RALLY IS PLANNED Dr. J. K.
