FOREST RESERVE TAKES
WESTERN JOSEPHINE
Covers Oyer 700.00 Acrer or 21
Townships 30.000 Acres
of It School Lands.
A copy of the president's prolcauia
tion baa been received at the gover
nors' office at Salem creating the
Siskiyou forest reserve, comprising
bout one-half of Josephine Oonnty
and two or three townships of Doug
las County. This ia the reserve con
cerning which a strong protest was
made a year or two ago by residents
of Onrry county. Aa originally plan
ned, the reserve includod about three
fifths of Curry county, but the pro
testa were so strong and persistent
that the lines of the temporary with
drawals were ohanged and in finally
creating the reserve no Curry county
lands are included.
The reserve oovere over 700,000
ares, or about 81 townships, reaching
from the California Hue to the South
era part of Douglas County, taking in
nearly all the western half of Jose
phine oounty.
The state ia affeoted by the creation
of this reserve by reason of the fact
that within its borders are about
80,000 acres of unsold school lands,
which the state can use as base for
the selection of lieu land, thereby
realising about fl to 7 an acre for
the land.
The governor lias also received
notice of the creation of the Fremont
forest reserve in Eastern Oregon.
Iliij reserve is sttuat'd iu Crook and
Klamath counties, extending from
point about 12 miles south of Read
southward to the Klamath Indian
.Reservation. Ibis reserve comprises
the greater part of 73 townships, ex
tending in irregular form from the
Cascade. Reserve eaHteily to range 17
nd north and south from towuHhip lit
to township !)!).

BIG PROFIT IN
FRUIT RAISING
If Hood River Methods Are Em-
ployed Oregonian Mo-kee
Practical Suggestions.
The Hood River apples now on
display in tbia city are magnificent
specimens of horticultural develop
ment. Those who remember the
red-cheeked pippin. . the ruddy Spit
zen berg, the pale-gold ofthejellow
bellflower, and the variegated tints of
the Northern Spy of half a century
ago are scarcely ready to admit that
these beauties from Hood River exoel
those memory apples in flavor, though
they must acknowledge that tney ex
cel their forebears in size and color
ing. And then the price ! Here in
deed the Hood River apples soar.
They are advertised as cheap at tl 85
a box. Apples jutt as juicy and
toothfome, rotted on the ground in
! the Willamette Valley by the ton or
found stinted market at 25 cents a box
hfifore the railroad era, and the codlin
moth and Jose icale invasion.
But, farther back still, when first the
apple trees of the Willamette Valley
came into bearing, growers received
$15 a bushel for the product. Cali
fornia was the market then, and the
apples were shipped iu the stuffy holds
of the old Oriflamme, Ajax and John
L. Stephens, and were retailed in
San Franolsco at no one know what
price, but enough to clear all costs
and leave a handsome margin of profit
to the importer. A few boxes of
Hood River apples in San Francisco
then would have been a small fortune
to the dealer; a couple of dozeu boxes
would have been wealth. But the
Hood River product is a later develop
ment, and, because of the widened
market, brings wealth to the grower
at f 2 a box.
At thia price, however, it is clear
that apples cannot be a staple article
on the workingmaa'a bill of fare. Aa
the potato is the vegetable of the
masses, ao the apple is their fruit,
aud this is in fair supply reasonably,
though nut eotirely, free from insect
pests, at a price that the workingman
with a large family can afford to pay.
Not apples with the assured perfection
of the Hood River product, of course,
but apples juicy and toothsome.
The old apple trees, moss-grown,
gnarly and uncultivated, that produce
only stunted, wormy and scaly fruit,
are happily becoming fewer every
year, but succeeding them are many
thrifty young orchards, the owners of
which, properly equipped for the fray,
fight the apple pasts vigorously aud
with such effect that the product is
marketable. It is to tbe output of
thess orchards that the majority of our
people look for their apple supply.
Fruit inspectors are and must be
diligent in the discharge of their doty.
But it should be exercised rather to
ward the destruction of old orchards, I
and in insisting that the newer trees
be properly sprayed aud their product j
carefully assorted before being sent to j
the market, than in placing the ban
upon all apples that com from eveu '
slightly infected orchards. Iu the
meantime, apple-growers, even though
they confine their offorts iu this line
to the family orchard, should not wait
for the compelling power of the law
before destroying their old apple
trees or taking means to keep the
iiewr orchards free from pests. A
little individual pride and interest
displayed iu this matter will in a
few years restore the fame of the big
red anple throughout the Willamette
Valley, make the orchardists of Hood
River look to their laurels, and bring
good, marketable apples within reach
of the workingmnn's family the sea
son through, with fair returns to the
grower. Oregouian.
