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.

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

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. B.
