Good Prices for All
Fruits in Prospect
Mail Tribune: C. A. Knight of
Medford, who Is spending the summer
In New York city, writes to L. A.
Wakeman that the cause of the low
prices realized for Medford pears Is
due to their arriving over-ripe. This
fact Is caused by the poor service ren
dered by the railroads, which have
taken as long as twenty-six days,
when eight or ten days Is the sched
ule In ordinary years. The delayed
service has resulted In poor Icing ser
vice. Mr. Knight writes:

There Is a good market for all kinds
of fruit, and bids fair to continue so.
Late pears and apples are expected to

years. In fact, Mr. Day of Goble &

such a high market, and he also stat

board of education, in session here
Monday, districted the state as to the
spheres over which each of Wash

the district of the Bellingham nor
mal, the Ellensburg normal will take
care of 13 counties in the southern
part of the state, and the northeast
ern counties will be in the Cheney
normal district.
Reports from every section of the
state show a strong sentiment in fa
vor of ample support of all the nor
mal schools, the friends of the grade
and rural schools uniting in working
for the normals as the means of
maintaining high standards in the
common schools through the furnish
ing of a sufficient supply of well
trained teachers.

Penniston Gets
Results at Grenada
On his way home from California
last Saturday the writer spent a day
looking over the Grenada Irrigation
project in 8lsklyou county. The little
new town of Grenada Is being worked
out in a scientific and aesthetic man
ner. Our Mr. 8. a Penniston has
been engaged there all summer work
ing out the garden effects about th
new hotel. It has been made a beau
ty spot In the surrounding dry aspect.
It Is laid out with art and a full
knowledge of the adaptability of
plants to the soil and climate, and
the results are not lees than marvel
ous for the effort of but one season.
The lawns are well set, the flowera
are beautiful both In design and type.
and the results obtained In one sea
son's growth by clinging vines ar
marvelous.
Penniston understands the garden
ing game from start to finish, and
his results at Grenada will go far In
establishing his reputation as a park
man.

was the subject of enlarging Moun

acres and owned by Mr. Parish, which
adjoins the cemetery, at a price of
$1,000, also the purchasing of anoth
er tract of 120 acres belonging to Mr.
Ellason, for $500, In order to get a
wood road to the Martin" lands se
cured by the city about a month ago.
The latter Is covered with enough
timber to compenwito for the pur
chase. However, In view of the fact
that It is a matter which requires)
some consideration, the proposals
were laid on the table until the ad
ministration finds time to consider It.

will have to vacate In favor of the
former. The , land office officials
