Able speakers will dis cuss timely topics and there will b nothing lacking to insure the success of the occasion. In it last iisue, that most eicellmt exponent of better fruit growing methods. "Better Froit," of Hood Hirer, bad this to say regarding local conditions: "Grant Pass, Oregon, will get its reward also for having foniiht the good fight for better fruit growing and shipping condition. Its' product are bringing higher prices thsn ever before and the meeting of the State Irrigation Asooiation there did much to show visitors what had been acomplished in the short space of one year. Ths announcement of this improved conaition of affairs there has attracted the attention of boyewwho are looking that section np, and it is but a question of an- nthr vear or so when they will be including it in their regular buying trlna. It is exrected that at least 28,000 boies of fine fruit will be ship ped from Grants Pass th year. Grapes, which grow to perfection in this section, will alxo comprise a big shipment, and a good many of the large growers there expect to net as hieh ss I1C0 oer ton on the Flsme 0 w - a Tokay and other European varieties. Two year ago F. A. Clements, who has some fine orchard land in the famons "Redlaod" district, set out a lot of Tokay grape vine and the first year be waa surprised. to re ceiv some fruit of the vino for his efforts. Of course ke will each year be getting larger and better returns from hi labors. He ha named his froit farm "Oakdale Fruit Farm." a H. T. Pankey, superintendent of ths Snowy Butte orchard, adjoining this town, returned from Portland Mender morning, bringing with him the elegant cup awarded to the Snowy Botte orchard for the beet display of Wiutsr Kollis pear at the recent meeting of the State Horticultural societT. The fact that this cup was the only one captored by Rogue River Valley orchard ista at this meeting and that it I by far the handsomest and most costly of any awarded there, is particularly gratifyiug to Mr. Pankey, as well as to Mr. Uokpina, the owner. The cup, a lame and handsome one, bear tb following imrription: "Oregon Stats Horticultural Society, 1IKW. First Prue, Winter Nelli Pears. Wou by V. II. Hopkins."

They can't get enough of them at any price to satisfy th demand for them from New York hotels and the fruit dealers who cater to the best class of east ern trade. Figure compiled by Southern fa- ciflc railroad officials snow me ex traordinary character of California fruit shipments. During th eeason ending October SI, 1906, 6930 cars of deciduous green fruit were shipped east from California, and this sea son to November 1, 7048 car. This has keso a banner year in the green froit business. California has re ceived more money net than annng any previous season. Many cars of frnil brought over 12000 eaoh, while cherries in a number of instances ranged from ;.1000 to 15000 per oar. The total northern California ship ments of vegetable, green, deciduous and citrus fro Its during the season just closing have been 10,812 cars, nearly 1000 more than last year. From southern California shipments via all lines were 27,633 car of cit roa fruit and 8477 cars of vegetables. The prospect ior tbe present season Is good. That Hood River doe not own the only seedless pear in the country is the story that County Assessor J. W. Sindall think ehonld be published. There lis an orchardisl in the Hood River country who owns several trees of seedless pear and he has recently been given considerable notoriety in th press on thia account, the assert ion being made that his trees are the only one of tbe kind ever disoovered. Tb assertion is incornct as there are at least six or seven soch tree rignt here in Yakima. Mr. Sindall is the prood owner of live of them. Tbe trees are about 12 year of age and have been heavy bearer for the past seven or eight year. Th froit is somewhat like the pear of the Bartlett variety, but larger, and Mr Sindall think of a uperior quality. The pears are entirely without core have been nsed by Mr. Sindall and his neighbor largely for making preserves. Tbe name of the eeedlets variety of pears is not known here and even Joe Brown was unable to en lighten Mr. Sindall as to the origin of these trees. They are supposed to have arrived with a shipment of Bart lett trees. Another orchsrdiet who ha one if not more of the seedless pear trees is Mr. Coonse. Mr. Sindall is making inquiries in ord-r to, get more infor mation regardiug the trees and it is possible that he may try his hand at providing other orchardists with this uuonial variety of fruit.
