The Herald Vol. V REGULAR PORTLAND LETTER State Will Assist in Extermi nation of Jackrabbits ROGUE RIVER PEARS BRING GOOD PRICE An Experiment in Long-distance Shipment of Perishable Fruit To be Tried Soon I'oiiTi.ANM, Oiu:., Aug. 19. Tin' state authorities have recent ly launched a movement designed tn assist in the extermination of jarkrahbits which have been on the increase in Central and Hast en) Oregon for years past. So serious has the rabbit pest be come that Governor West some time ago appointed a committee to take charge of the matter and if possible devise means for the relief of farmers in the afflicted counties. The meeting was at tended by State (lame Warden Finley, State Veternarian W. II. Lytic. L A. I -wis and l'rof. li W. Henshaw. of Washington, I), j ('., chief of the biological survey of the. department of agriculture. Mr. Henshaw ban made a life study of animals and has given particular attention to the rabbit pest in Australia! He gave it as his opinion that the theory of in oculation has little, if any, prac tical value, (ianie Warden Fin ley stated that the value of the rabbit drive had been demon strated in Eastern Oregon, be tween If., OIK) and 18,000 having been killed in three drives. It is said that the great increase in the number of rabbits is due to the killing olf of the coyotes. As the coyote force diminishes that of the rabbit increases and at the present time they are l":,U8n; immense damage to crops and gardens. . For buyers' Week, promoted by the Portland Commercial Club and the Chamber 'of Commerce, an organization has been per fected among Portland manu facturers and jobbers for the purpose of making things enjoy able for the visitors during the week of September 1-0. More than 100 firms are included in the membership, and within a few days 25,000 invitations will be sent, out to prospective liuyers in this state, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Northern Califor nia. President Nathan Strauss, of the association, states there will be no lack of entertainment during the week. That Oregon pears are meeting with an enthusiastic welcome in Eastern markets is indicated by the sale of 15 cars of Rogue River Bartletts at the best price re ceived since 1907 $2 per box F. O. B. Medford. Probably the highest price ever received for pears in quantity was that paid to a Medford grower in 1910, when a carload of Anjoy pears brought a total of $2,228.20 to the grower, being 5 cents each for all the pears in the car. An experiment in the long distance shipment of perishable fruit about to be tried within a few days. An entire carload of peaches is to be dispatched to Europe from the Yakima country, and in this shipment only the Monmouth, finest selected Flbertas will be used. While the regulation box es will be used, the layers of fruit will be separated by a cushion of wood fibre as a pro tection against rough handling and possible damage. If this trial shipment proves a success, il is probable that an extensive business in peaches will be de veloped by Pacific Northwest fruit exchanges. It is likely that the opening of the Panama ('anal will result in increased move ment of the softer varieties of fruit, as they can then be shipped direct with a consequent saving in time.

Coming in contact with the large body of students, their in fluence had become state wide. All who came under their tutelage carried away with them a whole some atmosphere of helpfulness, sympathy and good cheer. They were indefatigable workers, giv ing unsparingly of their time to the students, and their hospitali ty in their home was genuine and sincere. Miss Harlan had built up the Music Department to a marked degree of proficiency. She had enlivened the whole atmosphere of the school by instilling a love for the best standards in music. She had trained two orchestras, one among the grown students and one among the children in the Training Department, both of which reflected great credit to the school and gave her much pleasure, by reason of the fact that she was helping them to ac complish some purpose. By their untimely death the State Normal of Oregon, and the whole body of teachers in Ore gon, have lost friends whose in fluence they cannot replace. Those who have been fortunate enough to attend the exercises at various times in the assembly room will vividly recall the active interest of these two teachers.

The students of the State Normal during the past two years have truly lost two warm-hearted friends. There will be many a sad heart and many a tearful eye when they read of their death in the cold waters of the Alaskan bay. Miss Fridd's home was in Valley City, North Dakota, where her parents now reside, and many of the citizens will recall the very pleasant visit of her mother and her sister, Gladys, who were here last Sprang. She leaves one brother, who is a doctor 'in Pasadena, California, besides her family at her old home, to mourn her death. Miss Harlan's home was in Os good, Indiana, where her parents now reside and where she has two brothers who are practicing physicians. The heartfelt sympathy of this entire community and the student body for the past two years is extended to these bereaved par ents and their large circle of friends in their respective homes.
