Here it is: The boys have an SO acre fruit orchard — one of the liest there is in the Rogue River valley. The orchard, which is called the “ Mountain Cove,” is now and for years has been spoken of as oue of the most uniform and best eared tor bunch of trees iu this locality. This year the boys shipped their first carload of fruit— a full car load of fancy pack Jonathan apples. They were shipped to New York City, but returns from their sale have not as yet been re ceived. Not all their orchard is in bear ing as yet, nor will it be for a few years, because of the fact that only from 500 to 1000 trees were planted during the early develop ment of the land, but each year a block of new trees has been added to the orchard, until today there are SO acres of growing trees and another ten acres will be set this winter. The varieties of fruit in the orchard are Newtown aud Jon athan apples, Comice, Ilowell and Hartlett pears. Still The Mail has not told of tlie fortunes the boys have made in dollars and cents, but here it is: At the prices orchards of this character in the* valley are selling at, this one is worth from $800 to $1000 an acre— and one can multi ply these figures by 80, the num ber of acres there are in the or chard, but no person need make the boys an offer of the highest figure named— they will not sell. Aliout one more year at barber- ing and the boys will retire from that line of work and will give their attention to growing fruit, the orchard having reached an age which will i>ermit them to with draw from it the weekly salaries earned at their chairs.— Medford Mail. Under ordinary circumstances there are very few people in this day and age who make a fortune in eight years— and make it hon estly aud at the same time make the country in which this fortune was accumulated and all the people surrounding better because of its having been made. We have in mind a number of fortunes which have been made in a brief space of time ill the fruit industry of the Rogue River valley, but few are there of them which are as marvelous as is the one of which we are at this time referring— the fortune of the Hates Bros. In the year 1900 James and W il liam Hates purchased a tract of undeveloped land, in which there were 115 acres. The land is situ ated east of Medford a few miles and at the time it was purchased but little of it was there which was not covered with chaparral aud mauzanita bushes and scrub oak trees. The price paid for the land was $2000. Now, these Hates boys were not well fixed financially and it is not to ALASKA-YHKOfr be presumed that they paid the EXPOSITION NEWS $2000 in cash right at that time— but that matters not.

THE WORLD Grand Log Rolling Friday Buildings at Cottage Grove TRAGIC COURT SCENE Would-Be Assassin Makes No Eflort to Escape-Suicides After Locked in Jail. The San Francisco bribery-graft cases had a dramatic climax Fri day afternoon when Assistant Dis trict Attorney Francis J. Heney, who has been in charge of the prosecution during the course of two years, was shot and seriously wounded in the crowded court room by Morris Haas, an ex-con vict. The shooting occurred at exactly 4:22 p. in., during a brief recess in the third trial of Abra ham Ruef on the charge of brib ery, which is now in its U tli week. S H O T S U D D E N L Y F IR E D Mr. Heney was leaning over on his table, conversing iu low tone with A1 McCabe, cheif clerk of the district attorney’s office. D i rectly in front of him was James I,. Gallagher, the wituess, and a representative of the Associated Press had just walked to Mr. Heney’s table aud was standing at his left elbow, waiting for an op portunity to speak to him, when a small man, neatly attired aud hav ing a decidedly Jewish cast of countenance, approached the As sistant District Attorney from be hind in quick steps, but with de- lilieration. Suddenly his right hand shot out and, before the newspaperman, Mr. McCabe or John Foley, Mr. Heney's special bodyguard, sitting about eight feet away, could make a move, there was a flash and a loud report rang through the courtroom. For a moment everybody seemed stunned a n d paralyzed. The would-be assassin, whose revolver was within a foot and a half of Mr. Ileney’s head when he pulled the trigger, stepped back, his arms by his side, one hand still clutch ing the smoking pistol, as if hesi tating what to do. For a fraction of a second an impressive silence followed the report, while the smoke of the shot lazily floated away. Some one shouted: R U SH T O C A P T U R E H A A S “ My God, he has shot Heney.” Exclamations o f horror burst from the crowd. Half of the spectators, evidently fearing further shooting, made a frantic rush for the doors, before the assassin could raise his pistol again Mr. Foley and E. J. Wiskotchill, a special policeman, were upon him, and had thrown him to the floor and wrested the weapon from his grasp. “ send for my w ip e , " rayshenry Mr. Heney arose out of his chair, put his hands to his head, the blood streaming through his fingers aud reddening the table in front of him, leaned over a moment and was caught as he be gan to fall. He was laid on the floor, Charles Oliver and John Foley, two special detectives con* nected with the District Attorney's offire, holding his head out o f the 1 pool of blood which flowed from a wound which appeared to lie just ! below his right temple. He was | conscious, and when the Associat- I ed Press representative dropped down at his side and spoke to him, his first words were: “ Send lor my w ife." H E N E V ’ S WOUND. W. 0. W.
