Cridg. v ! Medford. Or.. Nov. 14. Medford Or., lias one of the host known publlo mar : Vet In the country, and Is letting much publicity from It, B. J. Runyard Is - - market master and has had charge of thB . municipal enterprise since .its tart. May 25." 191 2. Concerning the inarkft, ,Mr Runyard says: . -' ' "Our public market has been a auo ss from the start. "It was built by the city anj is oper- - ated and controlled by the city. There ars 24 booths and the farmers and gar deners pay $3 per month rental, th - meat men $7.60. "I regulate the price of products. -' The products are confined to Jackson " -county. The market Is open Tuesday. ' Thursday and (Saturday and that pr nlts the producer to attend to his other ', Uuties and get ready for the next mar kot day. .j At the beginning, before the city decided to build, there was strong- op position from the grocers and meat- market men, but that reeling nas aisap " Jeared and the grocers buy from the market for their families and ome .tlmes for their stores. "The public is satisfied; the market - ' means a living to many grower, and .often the sales foot up to 800 or more. . One Saturday tbls season 3200 melons . and COO boxes of peaches were sold. . Berries and cherries are not counted by , the crate, but figured by the ton. Jjalry butter, eggs, home baking booths, -are always sold out early. Towns 60 . to 76 miles distant keep a buyer here In fruit season to buy and ship. This '. lies also eliminated the peddler Syith - his poor stock, as the market is subject to country Inspection." A visit to tie Medford market shows 'a well lighted and neat appearing bull J -. Ing with cement floors, and the general '. " appearance of a large garage. Satur- - day It is crowded. All kinds of garden, - erchard and vegetable products fresh - and wholesome, are displayed In neat .. booths. As an Instance of the way the opera- tlon of the market lias changed the atti tude of the merchants there Is told the case cf Mrs. Frye, a resident of Trail, 40 miles from Medford. Last summer ' she brought In a wagon load of chicken? and sold them at prices above what she, . :' could have obtained by shipping, and the consumer obtained them at figures much lower than would have been pos sible if they had passed through twit : or three hands. Mrs. Frye then called on a local merchant and bought a bill f goods. The merchant had not seen : for her 10 years, and was glad to regain ; a customer. She had not done any trad ing In Medford during that Urns. Stall Sent tow. " Tables en which as a rule household necessities and luxuries are sold are rented for Solents a day, and aome very tempting canned and preserved fruit, bread, pies, cakes, eta, are dis- played by housewives who are proud - of the trade their skill draws to them. Sometimes one of the churches sets up - a table, and at other times a country ' nome mistress exhibits her home pro ducts. "Little pigs for sale," is a sign that attracts, and the market master ex- plains that a farmer has sold over 100 little pigs through the market this . season. People seeing the sign tela phone to dim if he Is not at band, and there is no commission, v , O. J.

All stock must be sold fresh; no stale and wilted exhibits are allowed. Tha farmers bring In their fresh meat as tile weather gets cool, and the heaps of -Savory spareribs and the half and whole 'hogs on sale do much to reduce the high cost of living. Orders ror Fruit. '"roffi trie TfiiTies of northern Califor nia and adjacent country comes to the market, master many orders for fruit. This season 160 boxes of peaches were shipped from the market direct to con sumers in l'ortland. Orders are fre quently turned over to local merchants to fill.

One effect of the establishment of the market has been to increase the desira bility and consequently the value of real estate In that section of the town., The Medford people have- discovered that it does no Jiarm to have the pro ducer and consumer come together without a fine, tax or license. C. J. Rush & Son exhibited to the writer a fine load of corn that was old for a good price to local consum ers. It was brought 12 miles from the Benton Bowers ranch and was raised between the trees of an orchard. They thought It equalled six acres of solid corn, and had run . 60 bushels to the acre. F: M. Kershaw at the market said he had 600 bushels raised between trees on 22 acres. "Feeding it out," he said. "You'll see that oorn, 'snout down,' hanging' in the publlo market pretty soon." , One corn raiser at the market said ha had let the weeds take his corn to draw the moisture out of tj ground. "I got a good crop that iB.y, too," lid said. "I 1st the weeds grow some on purpose, and it worked out all right In this country."

TO TENTATIVE RATIOS V. 1..- Reed Claims Commission's Finding of 55 Per Cent Is Too Low, (8lem Bureau of The Journal.) Salem, Or., Nov. IB. Assessor Henry Reed of Multnomah county and his deputy, George K, Funk, were here to day protesting against the assessment ratio submitted by the state tax com mission. The law says that assess ments shall be mads at cash value, but the tax commission, after Investiga tion, determined that the assessments in Multnomah county had been made on a basis of 65 per cent of .oash value. Assessor Reed said that was too' low. He maintained that he assessed at about 75 per cent of cash value. Protests have also been made to the tax commission by other assessors against tha tentative ratio fixed by the commission. Chairman Galloway of the commission said this was largely because the state tax levy is going to be high this year, and the assessors want the public utilities to be assessed as high as possible. The publlo utilities, which are as sessed by the tax commission, are in tended to be assessed on the same per centage of cash valuation as the prop erty assessed by the assessors. ""Protests against the ratios ror their counties have been made by Assessor J. J. Wells of Morrow, Assessor W. E. Ball of Lincoln and County Judge Dex ter Rice of Douglas. The ratios will be definitely flxd Monday or Tuesday. UNKNOWN MAN STRUCK BY TRAIN AND KILLED Grants Pass., Or., Nov. 15.
