Solution of the acute problem fac ing the pear growers of the Rogue River valley was reached when the Umpqua Valley Canning company leased the cold storage plant of the Roseburg Ice company. On account of the- railroad situation the grow ers found themselves unable to ship any except their very best fruit, and it appeared that heavy losses would occur. The cannery has not sufficient capacity to take care of the surplus as It ripens, but by obtaining the cold storage plant can continue the sea son until the latter part of October, and will, in this manner, take care of all fruit which cannot be shipped in a fresh cond'tlon. The 'cannery expects to put up about 400 tons of pears this year. , PRIPFS SPKAK LOUDER THAN WORDs 1 RlChS M 1 u. 1)uU.c j the'srupenduouness of this Giant ru j n flint Marks the End of the Summer Season SATURDAY MORNING August 26th at 9 o'clock Famous Waldo Hill $U)0 Flour Per Sack Special at $1.39 A larjre 9 lb.
