FRIDAY, AUGUSi' 8, 19W. BAD ORANGES FOUND IN CENTER OF BOX Good Fruit On Top and Bottom Is the Fraud a Fruit Growers Union Would Prevent. At tbe meeting of the Grants Pans Fro It Growers Union last Batorady H. C. Bobzien, who Is botb success ful orcbardiat ard grooeryniao, ex hibited some oranges that be bad taken from a shipment of orange which he had received from a Sacra mento corn ml a ion bonne. The oranges were so badly Infested with 8an Jose scale as to render them nofit to eat. That the commission house or the grower was dishonest was proven by the fact that the diseased oranges were placed in we ceuier oi me boxes, the oranges ob the top and the bottom being perfect. The boxes bore no label to there is no means of Mr. Bohzien calling the commission firm to account, for if he did the firm wonld say they bonght them for honestly packed oranges and as there is no way to Identify as to whose or chard the box came from, all tbe re course there is for Mr. Bobzien is to not bay of that firm again. Had these orange been from some of the fruit growers nuioiia of California it wonld have been a quick matter to have found out who was putting up the dishonest pack for each box would have been labeled with name of both nnlon and of the growers and the number of the packer. A complaint coming to the onion that a box of orangos was faulty the blame could be (Julckly placed on the guilty grower or packer. It is the high standard of the pack scut ont by the'froit growers anions and the dishonest methods of so many individuals growers and shippers and of oommtssioD men tha', has given the pnblio perfect confidence in the quality of the fruit contained in a box bearing a nnlonMlabel and an equal The Port Orford Tribune In the two subjoined items tells some railroad news tbat is of deep concern to Grants Pass for it indicates tbat there it a possibility that two of tbe laigest and richest districts, the trade of which now comes to this city, may be diverted to a coast town. This item from the Tribune also tolls what be came of tbe big party of railroad surveyors that arrived in Grants Pass and mysteriously disappeared down Rogue River, for it appears they are snrveying a branch line to connect with the Coast mad. tbat the South era Pacifio is preparing to bnild from Drain to San Francisco, to tap the rich mining and timber districts of tbe Illinois Valley and the Lower Rogue River Valley : "A corps of 10 surveyors now bate their headquarter established at Port Orford, and are going over the survey made by Cooper two years ago, as all papers connected with the previous survey were lost in the San Francisco disaster. There are also two other parties in tbe field for the same com paoy one oortn and one south of here, and this, connected with the fact that the O. C. & E. R. R. have a crew of surveyors in Tillamook county, and announce that they are going to rapidly push their coast road to completion, it evidence that '.hit section will not long remain cot off from the outside world." " With railroad turveyori approaching Gold Beach from three directions atthe same time, it is evident that we are toon to have a boom of no small di mensions. Gafigs of surveyors are coming down the coast, down Rogue River, and down the Illinois and the chances of a railroad from tome di rection are pretty good. Rumor has it that J. J. Hill of the Great North ern who has a reputation of doing things with a rush, it casting a wish ful rye down the coast, which causes the Southern Pacifio people to keep an eye on the great railroad builder from the north. All indications are that Curry will soon have a boom. A railroad down the Ilinois would make impossible to 0en the rich gold and copper mines on that river tbat are now almost in accessible. Look out for the cars when the bell rings or the whistle blows." Tbe assertion, which comes from an authoritative source, that 'Oregon leads all other states in the packing and handling of fruit, will surprise many people who do not expect a state to excel in an enterprise in which it is comparatively new. Yet perhaps the fact that Oregon is young in the fruit packing industry is one'explanation for its superiority. ' Older - states adopted certain packing'methods years ago and have kept along in old ruts. Oregon, in order to pat its frait upon tbe market in competition with the product of states tbat had already established a regular trade, was com pelled to pack fruit in better and more attractive shape, so that it would keep while being shipped, and win favor by its appearance when displayed for the inspection of con sumers. Hood River and Rogue River apple growers have been pack ing their applet io a manner that wins commendation in tbe largest markets in the world. Small fruits could not be better packed for ship ment or for display in the markets than they are here in Oregon. Prunes, which are a standing joke all over the East, have a new character when packed in 10 pound boxes, care fully faced and partly covered with a border of lace paper. The prunes that were furmerly bought in bulk from bags were exactly the same as the prunes packed in boxes, except that the latter are cleaned by a steaming process and have a brighter appearance. The narking of the fruit has a double value to ti e state, for it not ouly gives it a better standing in the opinion of consumers, but it brings a price enough highir to pay the Ore gon laborer a wages in packing While there will always be a market for prunes or apples, or other fruit carelessly packed, at lower prices, the fruit that gains a state or a com munity a deniable reputation is that which has been put op in an attract ive manner and with a name or trade' mark th'it will make it remembered.

Experience has taught the housewife ! that a roll of labeled butter is always good, while oulaMed batter is some ' timvs good and more ofleu it it not. The fruit growrs onions are aeeoin ' plitthlng the same in frait and the discriminating buyer has learned that a box of fruit bearing the brand of a unlou never contains a wormy or rot te appple, nor the top and bottom fancy fruit while the center is made op of second grade, or calls. This hat made it possible iu the markets of the big Eastern cities where quality is considered more than price to se cure from 10 to 2i per cent more for fruit bearing the brand of a union that has Ihm-ouio known than for fruit in brandluss Wxes. The time is near at baud when the iudiv.dual fruit shipper will no longer be known in the markets and the unions will handle all fruit as well as all oilier firm products. New Telephone Manager.
