That the employ ment of our soil would yeild fruit .'(jual to that :n)u anywhere, there la no doubt. There Is needed hut a demonstration to prove it and create and awaken Inclination and pride In the culture of commercial apples. It's a pity and a source of regret to ev ery patriotic titiz-n that tills matter la neglected. 7The excuse is unwar ranted. There is no investment of thrift and pride, in a community that neglects to embrace suth an oppor tunity. Especially Is it a matter of astonishment when it is remembered ni wnen u ..u.v.v- Slloknn anule show. He has that the enhancement ot u. , .-u- w pny would be five to ten fold. A beaming cnVB h ,. orchard of merchantable apples would command $S00 to J1500 an acre. Situated as Polk county is, with transportation facl.i.ies unequalled In any locality in Oregon, every pos sible excuse seems swept away. And yet there is not an orchard of mer chantable apples in the county. For local consumption apples are shipped in to supply the demand. It need not end with the cultivation of. apple or chards, for all other varieties of fruit are In equal demand in the local and Portland market. Owners of real f s ate in Polk coun ty are asking prices far in excess of what is justified by the income on present resources of 'their holdings. While their prices are lower than in most sections of the valley, they have failed to bring their land up to .he higher rate of income that many oth er sections have. Driving out up the beautiful valley of Rogue river south from Central Point to Medford, and on to Phoenix and Talent, there . is a continuous stretch of orchards of hundreds and hundreds of acres of splendidly formed trees which are attended with Buch care that the observer marvels at their beauty. These acres and cres are indeed a sight to behold. Why not lay out such orchards in this county? Why not now? We have lost fifty years of opportunity. Presents for Crowned Heads. Apples grown in Oregon and Wash itm'ton will grace the tables of Euro pean royalty this winter, through the plan of James J. Hill, the- Great Northern magna e. who has ordered 101! boxes df the best apples displaye WHAT IS OUR EXCUSE? One of the problems which the in coming mayor of Independence should select as a platform should be the paving of the five principal blocks of the business setcion of the city. The demand for this improvement is becoming urgent and a candidate who will favor such an expenditure, should he chosen to run for the office of mayor of Independence. Some thought should be given to the matters of mu nicipal improvements when the names of three councilmen to be elected along with a mayor are chos en onri nlaced on the ballot. Th" growth and spread of the busi- j Tress section cf the city demands that these five business blocks be paved. Pavement of these streets would lend more encouragement to investments here than any other one thing. It is intended to indicate the faith we hold for the future of the city. We are here to make our permanent homes. Many of us will run through a business career' and shuffle off our mortal coil within these environs, and our trust In the eventual growth and development of the town is our abid ing anchor. Let everything subserv ient to such growth be done, to ac complish a bigger and busier city of Independence.

He says he wants the apples for Christmas presents to the following: Royal and titled In ads of Europe holding stock In the Hill reads, the queen of Denmark, the king of England, the emperor of Ger many, titled members of the British parliament and German and Swedish personages of royal blood." Apples will be selected from fruit grown along the Hill lines and from the Des chutes valley. Old Wheat Flour Everyone knows that old wheat flour Is superior to flour made from new wheat.
