FRUIT SHIPMENTS
From Southern Oregon Have Com­
menced—They Will be Large.
J. A. Whitman, the enterprising pro­
ducer and shipper of fruit, has a small
force of men employed in packing
pears and early apples. He has already
sold a few carloads of the former for
shipment to St. Louis.
Bartlett pears are now in condition
for shipment. Many are engaged in
picking them, and the orchards in this
vicinity present an animated appear­
ance. The price offered for this fruit
is not as good as it was last year, and
fluctuates considerably.
The beet
price offered in Chicago now is <1.70
per hundred pounds, although it has
been both higher and lower this sea­
son. Some shippers got more than
<3 per hundred during 1901.

ROBBERY COMMITTED
At Gold Hill—No Clue to the Perpe­
trator as Yet.
Some unknown party entered the
residence of Hon. W. A. Carter of Gold
Hill last Friday night, while he and
his wife were at Grant's Pass. Among
the articles taken were some articles of
wearing apparel and jewelry belong­
ing to Mrs. C., and an open-faced
watch, all of the value of a few hundred
dollars. The robber entered the house
through a screened window. Evidently
he or she was aware of the proprietor's
absence, and perhaps more or less
acquainted with the premises. A
young woman living in Gold Hill with
her sister was suspicioned of the crime
and arrested; but as nothing could be
found to criminate her she was released.
The guilty party may yet be arrested,
as officers are on the lookout.
