Medford John R. Allen of New
York city, owner of the Pacific & East
ern railroad that is being extended
from this city over the Cascades, and
projector of a trolley line to traverse
the Rogue River valley, has purchased
the celebrated Snowy Butte orchard at
Central Point, from Fred II. Hopkins
for $18,000. The orchard is one of
the most famous in the valley, and
the pioneer commercial orchard of this
section. It consists of 300 acres of
choice varieties of apples and pears,
100 of which are in bearing, the re
mainder in young trees.
Mr. Allen will subdivide the orchard
into five and ten acre tracts, which will
be placed upon the market, reserving a
portion, for himsolf. On this tract is
located the wonderful block of 16Vii
acres of Winter Nellis pears, which
produced a net yield of $19,000, or
$15.83 per tree. The total crop this
year will net over $40,000.

Washington, Nov. 30. If congress

linger in his annual report to the Presi
dent, practical and fair-minded advo
vates of conservation of natural re
sources will have nothing to ask beyond
a strict enforcement of the law. The
secretary's report, made public today,
has been read and approved by Presi
dent Taft, and therefore may be re
garded as voicing his own views and
opinions upon the various subjects dealt
with, and to that extent is an indication
of the recommendations which the Pres
ident himself will Mibmit to congress
when it convenes next Monday.
Secretary Ballinger's report is in no-
degree sonsationnl. It is a plain, force
ful recital of conditions as they exist.
In it the many weaknesses of the public
land laws are pointed out, and practical
remedies are suggested. The report
gives evidence of great study of the
various problems discussed, and indi
cates the minuteness with which the
new secretary of the interior has gone
into the details of the work of his de
partment.

This outline covers every import
ant question that will be asked con
cerning the farm products of 1909.
American agriculture is so diversified
and so highly specialized in many of
its branches that any schedule designed
to secure a fairly complete exhibit of
ts resources and operations must nes-
essarily contain a large number of in
quiries. The average farm operator
will not be called upon to answer one
seventh of the printed questions, hence
the somewhat formidable appearance
of the schedule should occasion no
alarm.
More than four months remain in
which to review the results of the year
1909 and prepare for the visit of the
enumerator. But preparation of
written record should be commenced at
once. No one should attempt to com
plete it in one evening, but the work
should be divided as indicated in the
above outline, one evening being given
up to farm expenses, a second to live
stock, a -third to dairy products, and
so on through the list. In this way

duties Monday. The school buildings
are at present capable of seating all
the scholars, but if the enrollment next
year increases in proportion to that of
this and last year, more room will be
necessary. Ihe enrollment this year is

Pensaeola, Fla., Nov. 26. John C,
Calhoun, colored, aged 115 years, died
in Pensaeola last night, and the death
certificate as sworn to and filed in the
office of the city clerk gives the date
of the negro's birth as 1794. Calhoun,

statesman, resided in Pensaeola for 40
years, and until less than 14 years
