A close student of trade conditions bun Just made tba surprising statement that "last year at least $250,000,000 that should have gone to the retail merchanta of the middle west wae sent away from bom to tneee mall oriler concerns." Whether mall order trading la a fashion, a habit or a fad la not under discussion here, bat It la a fact and a aerloua fact The writer already men tioned goes on to say. "This buying of catalogue house and through soap eluha la a fad that lias growa up In the commercial gar den like a rank weed. People bare been so busy about other things that they simply have forgotten the obliga tions thoy are under to their follow nelgliliors and to themselves as a com munity." The soap rlub, by the way, and schemes of Its sort do a lot of damage In ninny communities. A woman or girl In one of the cheap monthly mall order publications an alluring of fur of a prtze In return for selling so many boxes of soap or something else for household use. Let us suppose It Is soap. Everybody uses soap except tramps. Hoap appeals to the house wife, and when her neighbor and friend comes around and requests her to subscribe to a box of soap so that the canvasser may win the prize of a packngo of beautiful hatpins or a new purlor rug almost any woman will take the soap. It holps the neighbor along, you know. Hut these good women fall to think of other uelglitHirs, Just as deserving, who are not hulped by this little trans action, but, on the other band, are hin dered. There la the storekeeper In town who sella soap. lie sells soap Just aa good, no doubt, aa the mall or der brand, and bis email profit on the sale helps him to suoeeed In business and to continue patronizing bis other neighbors who are In business. Par haps he boys many things for his own household use from the hof bands of the very women who send tba order for tba mall order uap. The competition of the tatakjae bouse with tba local retail stores, tn the opinion of those who study the situation, Is doing nor than any other thing to aap the commercial strength of tba country towns.

O.. divine in Southern Oregon, viaited gave an iutereatiog talk opon the Grants Pass, with view to getting I prevailing disease of the fruit tree, more information regarding this lo-lhe most prominent featore of the cality, as a fruit growing section and ! address being pear blight, a disease CTToformed the Courier that he cob- j thai originates and gp esds over an rlHuntly expected to come here to make 'orchard and to adjoining orchard", bia fotnre home. He Is not ia charge but cannot be conveyed any great dis of any cbnrch. bot is devoting bis tance, as the germ ia very short Hvfd time and energies to the growing of fruit ia the vicinity of Vedford. But he says price of land are entirely too high, over that way and that there are otber conditions wbirh make Grant Pass a more desirable place in which to reside. Mr. Smith i competing for one of the valnabl prizts which have been offerel for the beat articles, setting forth, in succinct language the many raoui why the Beaver State thould attract tba newcomer. Elsewhere in todiy'a Coorier will 'be found except from ou of his interesting efforts. Comparison of receipts from ship menu to eastern markets in the last I year have proved that Oregon pear 'growers are receiving from three to i foor time a much per car for their products a are the orange grower of j southern California.

"To way growa r ar taking an in tereat in the importaal natter of (praying, portend great things for the industry in Josephine county," remarked one exteniiv orchardiat to the news gatherer. He predicts that ths outpnt of fruit from this imme diate vicinity will be fully fenr times what it baa been recently, in the oeorse of two year' time. And he baae hi calculations purely upon fact that he see aad reoogaine as meaning much for ths industry, lie likewise does net heaitate to prediot that in lbs course of a very few years, fruit growing hereabout will have oome to be of iuinieuse importance t everybody concerned, lie nee in the dim diatance grower shipping their own product by the car load and in thl he is also quite sanguine, owing to the iuteraat snd application which the grower are takiug with regard to getting all the liiteat and li.'it idea regarding fruit growing.

Tribune. D. Peterson, proprietor of the "Hugo Height Fruit Farm," wa at the county seat, Saturday, and in con versation with the Courier man be remsrked that as yet there baa been no killing frost at his place, near Hugo and as it ia now nearly the middle of January, he thinks Jack Kroat will have to watch oot cr he may forget that favored spot entirely. Mr. Peter son was formerly a railroad man, but he never regret the day when he decided to leave the iron horse and delv in mother earth snd get an or chard started.

Receipts from the conntryare xuuoh lighter than in December, indicating that atocka are largely oat of growers hands and the available supply in tbe Front atrtet market Is not aach as to give dealsrs any apprehension. A feature of lha trade, according to one jobber. ia that lb demand for th cheaper sorts of apple, which wa strong a few week ago, bai fallen off materially. At the same time tbe stocks of inferior fruit bare been much reduced. How the call i prin cipally for tbe better grade and the demand for these i improving. Re cent reports from tb East abow ira- irovrment in tbe apple markets gen erally. 8 toe a a of low grade staff have been largely worked off, snd tbe prog pert ia for steadily atlffening mar ket for th better grade from this lime on. Ho large hipinenta are being made here to'Eaatern markets new, and it is the belief of some dealiri that few if any will be made, for it is figmesl that present stcck will le none too larue for the regu lar Coast eoustiuiptiou.
