"Oregon is destined to become the
greatest apple growing center in the
world," is the statement wnicn nve
members of the state board of horti
culture include in their reports filed
with Secretary H. M. Williamson. Mil
lions of apple and pear trees are to be
planted here this spring, 1,000,000 to
be planted in Jackson county alone,
which when in a few years they begin
to bear fruit, will place the apple ana
near erowinK industry on a plane
such as it has never before known.
Still better news to the people of the
state is the fact that with the excep
tion of a light damage done to the
peach trees and loganberry bushes,
t.hnTtrnme cold weather of January
did practically no damage to the trees
nf t.hfi state. In fact, thousands of
slips are being sent out of the state to
Idaho and Washington points for
propagation.
Reports were filed from W. K. New
ell, president, R. H. Weber, treasurer,
and M. O. Lownsdale, A. u. uarsou
and Judd Geer, commissioners. Each
and every one of them was filed with
bright prospects, although all or tnem
took occasion to condemn the portray
ing of dverly big crops.
The oroDS this vear according to tne
reports will be average, with the excep
tion of loganberries and peaches, the
most tender of all fruits. There will
be a light but excellent quality crop
of these fruits, while the apples, pears
and hardier fruits will produce a
falrlv c-ood crop. The tips or tne
branches owing to the gradual drop
which the thermometer took before the
cold; weather were but little affected
and should bear well.
The Diamine of new trees this year
ha snrDassed anything ever known
in this section. Millions of plats and
trees have been set out with the result
that within the next few years the out
put of the state should be almost
double that what it is now. Josephine,
Jackson and Douglas counties were
ail ronnrted as having planted many
trpfi. Jackson county growers planted
nearly 1,000,000 apple and pear trees,
while in Josephine county nearly
500,000 grape vines were planted. These
were mostly of the Tokay variety.
Tn Douelas. where a large amount
of clearing has only recently been
done, the slopes are being set with
apple and pear trees m large
quantities. Many thousand acres are
being cleared and from the tendency
the present holders of the land have
shown Commissioner Carson is of the
opinion that many thousand more
trees wili;be set out In the next few
years.
Comments upon the general move
ment for the betterment of the
orchards shown by the fruitgrowers
were made by the commissioners in
their reports. The growers nave
awakened to the fact that a well
sprayed and well pruned orchard will
give much larger crops than will one

The hearing of the local option cases
that were brought before Justice of
the Peace Hardy Holman has been
continued until Tuesday, April 27, at
a n'nlnnlr n m when the case Of J. R.
Cooper, of Independence, will come up
for retrial. ;
Only, two cases, (those of J. B.
Cooper and 'Tom Sullivan, both of

Wednesday at 9 o'clock a. m., James
Chittv: 2 o'clock p. m., A. Hogan;
Thursday at 9 o'clock a. ra., Ab
Burnett; 2 o'clock p. m., John Bird.
Although no decision has been made

against James Chitty 3 ; against Clark
