Perkins Fruit Bill. Salem Or., Fob. 11.— The pass­ age of Representative Perkins’ bill requiring the marking of boxes of green fruits so as to show the names and addresses o f the grower and the name of the packer, will probably do more to promote good methods in fruit growing than any­ thing else that has occurred in Ore­ gon up to the present time. This law, which will go into effect three months from the close of this ses­ sion of the Legislature, will compel every grower and packer to bear whatever criticism may be due him for the shipment of inferior fruit and will insure to every grower and packer due credit for the shipment of fruit of superior quality. During the first season, "while growers and packers are becoming accustomed to the law and prepar­ ing to observe it there will be some inconvenience and expense, but the advantages will far more than re­ pay the loss in this respect Grow­ ers or packers will find it necessary to provided themselves with rubber stamps with which to priDt upon the boxes tbe names of the grow­ ers and packers. While these names and addresses could be writ­ ten on the boxes with a crayon, this method would be slow and would impair the appearance of the box. In practice the law will probably work out something like this: Box factories will provide themselves with machines for printing the names of the packers upon the ends of boxes, so that the boxes will be marked with tbe names and address­ es of packers before they are made up. Then the packers will secure rubber stamps beAriDg the names and addresses of their principal patrons, so that when a lot o f fruit is packed the boxes can be quickly marked, "Grown by L. T. Reynolds, Salem, Or.,” or any other name, as the case may be. Growers who pack their own fruit for shipment will find it necessary to buy their boxes ulready marked or provide themselves with stencils or rubber stamps for the purpose, For a year or two manufacturers of steueils an I stamps should do a good business aimin ' growers and packers, but as supplies of tins kind last a number of years, the rush of business in tbia line will be only temporary. As this law will be of interest to every fruitgrower and packer in Oregon, the text of the law is here given in full: TEXT OP THE LAW Section I. Any person, firm as­ sociation or corporation engaged in growing, selling or packing green fruits of any kind within the state of Oregon, shall be required, upon packing any such fruit for market whether intended for side within or without the atate of Oregon, to stamp, mArk or label plainly on tbe outside of every box or pack­ age of green fruit so packed the name and post office address o f the person, firm, association, or coi por- ation packing the same. Provided, further, that when the grower of such fruit be other than tbe packer o f the same, tbe name and poatoffice address of such grower shall also prominently appear upon such box or package as the grower of such fruit. Sec. 2. It shall be unlawful for any dealer, commission merchant, shipperaor vendor, by means of any false representations whatever, either verbal, printed or written, to represent or pretend that any fruits mentioned in section 1 of this act were raised or produced or packed by any peraon or corporation, or in any locality, other than by the person or corporation, or in the lo­ cality other than by the person or corporation, or in the locality where the same were in fact raised produced or packed as the cage may be. Sec. 3. I f any dealer, commission merchant, shipper, vendor or other person shall have in bis possession any of such fruits so falselv marked or labeled contrary to the provis­ ions of section 1 o f this set, tbe pos­ session by such dealer, commission merchant, shipper, vendor, or other person, of aoy such fruits so falsely marked or labeled shall be prima facie evidence that such dealer, commission merchant, shipper, ven­ dor or other person has so falsely marked or labeled such fruits. Sec. 4. Any person violating any of the provisions of ibis act shall be deemed guilty of a misde­ meanor and, upon conviction there­ of, shall be punished by a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $500 or by imprisonment in the County Jail not less than ten nor more than 100 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment, at the discretion of the court. ..... ........ • - *------- ------- Oregon Apples in London Medford, Or., Feb. 11.— (Speci­ al.)—The high character of the yel­ low New town apples produced in the Rogue River Valley is illustrat­ ed by the returns which are coming in from th numerous cars consign­ ed to the London dealers by the growers of this valley the present season. Fred H. Hopkins receiv­ ed a cable today from the first car of his product placed upon the mar­ ket this year, the same having been consigned to Dennis & Sons, of Covent Garden, who report the sale of the carload, consisting of 450 boxes of four-tier and 150 boxes of four and one-half tier apples, at an average net figure f. o. b. shipping pcint, of $2.38 per box. For a week past it has been known that the California product would not figure any more this season in the London narket. The importance of the apple sit­ uation impresses one the more when it is known that the Rogue River Valley has no less than 10,000 acres of the yellow Newtown variety of apples, either now in bearing or ap­ proaching age. In spite of the fact that an almost unparalleled crop was reported in the districts which sect their barreled stock to London, the regularity with which Newtowns from Rogue River Valley bring in these satisfactory prices this very gratifying. --- « -m- ------ -------- Ashland Normal Notes. Miss Hazel Crowson, of Santa Barbara, entered school Monday Miss Grace Smith wascnlled to her home, near Medford, last Tuesday on account of her mother’s illness. There was a business meeting of tbe Dramatic Club Thursday at 12:45 p. in. for the purpose of voting on names, outside of the elocution class, for membership. The regular meeting of the Y. M. C A. met last Wsdnesilay at the usual time The subject for the meeting was “ The Prodigal Son.” The last meeting of the Congres­ sional Literary Society was exceed­ ingly interesting.. Instead of the usual debate there was a mock trial. It was very laughable at times, as the case tried was a plea for di­ vorce. However, the bojs are to be praised, as the trial showed much planning and forethought. President Mulkey was suddenly calh d to Salem Wednesday to at­ tend the legislature, in the interest of the Normal school problem. Miss Grace Pierce, on her way to Fort Klamath, stopped over in Ashland on Wednesday to visit her brother Dan Pierce, who is attend­ ing the Normal. Semi-annual examinations are over, and the students all seem to wear pleasanter countenances. The state examinations will be held, as usual, in Jacksonville be­ ginning February 13. The names of the students, who will try for state papers, from the Normal are as follows: Miss Ethel McFarland, Miss May AndersoD, Miss Maude Rippey, Miss Grace Campbell. Miss Albev Welch, Miss Ruth Aiken, Miss Lillian Kaiser. Mr. Howard Carmicheal. Miss Winnie Spence, and Alice French. The Ashland basket ball team, composed at the Normal and town boys, will meet the university of Eugene team next Thursday and Friday nights, in the opera house of Ashland. A w fu l Disaster on Atlantic. Blook Island, R. I. Feb. 12.- A marine disaster with appalling loss of life entailing suffering almost beyoDd the limit of human endur­ ance came to light to day when tbe lifeboat of the Joy Line steamer Larchmont bound from Province to New York drifted into Block Island harbor. In the lifeboat were the bodies of several men who died from exposure to the death dealing temperature. In the boat also were men whose suffering was so intense they seemed oblivious to tbe fact that death was in their midst aDd that they had escaped only by virtue of their ability to withstand the rigor of the zero weather in an open boat at sea. The boat brought the tale of a wreck barely equaled in New Eng­ land waters and it is believed when the final outcome is ascertained it will be found that not less than 150 lives were lost Eollowing closely in the wake of the solitary life boat, came bodies life boats and rafts cast on the beach by tbe angry waves. It is not known if the full list of passenger and crew went down with tbe ship. It is estimated there were 150 passengers and tbe crew numbered fifty. The cause of the accident is not satisfactorly explained. With the exception of the crew none on board were prepared for exposure to the weather which prevailed. Many bodies are being washed ashore at various points along the eoast. W omen W ade Deep Snow, Leavensworth Wash., Feb. 11.— Five men and two women, com­ pletely tired out and chilled to the bone, reached here tonight after a trip of 26 miles over the soft bdow . coming from the stranded train in the Cascades, which left Seattle Sunday night. They tell a trip of hardships and alleged discrimina­ tions between the passengers on the stalled traio. The train carried no diner, and after spending several days in the mountains, food was packed in to them. Mr. Hong said: •‘For five days we subsisted on a diet of beans and biscu ts, and find­ ing we were not being treated on the same par ns tbe Pullman pas­ sengers, our party set out on foot Tbe first night we slept on the bare floor at the depot at Merritt, and reached this place tonight.” Those who made the trip were Jo- sept Price, of Centralia; Julius Hass and wife, Frank Evans and F.
