Prof. O'Uara went to Medford Mon
d.iy morning to look over the pear or
chards iu J ckson county. The blUht
able to find a means of combatting
this new and virulei.t pest.
Prof. O'Uara is trom WashiiiKton,
where he is a pathologist in the bu
reau pi int niduiitrj of tlie Departmeut
of AHriculture, and his cowiuK to
Orauts Pkbs wa at the request of has made iu appearance in tiiut
Si'iTetary MesTve, of the Fruit I county and In some of the orchards
Orowers Association, made to Prof.
M. D. Waite, superintendent of that
bureau. The sp-cial work of its bu
reau is that pertainiiiK to diseases of
fruits and vegetables. This work is
divided into reciious and a patholo
(tint or eiitjinoloiK't is at the head of
each section. Prof. O'Gara has
charge of the fiKht that is being
waged all over the Unietd States
against the pear blight by the
Government. His work is in two
sections. One is to visit every pear
district an 1 warn the growers of the
great danxer from fie blight and tell
them how to prevent its iutroduo
tlou and the other duty is to super
visa the fight iu districts where the
pest has made iU appearance by
teaching the orchard Ists bow Co iden
tify the blight and the method of ex
terminating it. Prof. O'Gara is con
ceded to be one of the ablest patholo
gists in the Government service and
be is an authority of natioual stand
ing on many of the other fruit pests
as well if near blight.
Springtime is the busiest time of
the year for Prof. O'Gara for It is at
this lesson that pear blight does its
most destructive work and when Its
Infection and spread is the greatest
and it Is spreading over tbe United
Htatea at such a rapid rate that not a
week goes by but what au urgent
reorient comes to him fur help from
some fruit district. To get over such
an immense territory requires every
day, even Suuday, of his time and
though it was a day of rest for other
people when he was here last Sunday
Prof. O'Gara put In the day, accom
panied by Secretary Meserve, in ex
amining pear orchard in the vicinity
of rhiH oily. The worst outbreak of
blight was fun ml in R. A. N. Hey
mirs' orchard where the pear tries are
badly infected. At the tiiuo Prof.
O'Gara was here last February only
one "f Mr. Heyiuers' trees was affected
and it had but one limb diseased. He
now has cut out all the diseased tops
and by clone vigilance can eradicate
the dieaM if tlio infection is not
axaiu brought in by ins cts or birds
frmn other ntTocled trees. The only
other orchards that blight ban ap
peared iu are Klstnanu Uroa. , J. T.
Morrison and Hubert Huck. There
are prolutbly others iu the county hut
tbe owners not recognizing the di
seaiia have not repotted their orchards
infected. Secretary Meserve has
freshly .rot pear limbs at hia office
that show the blight very distinctly
and fruit growers are axked to cull and
examine them so they call recognize
the disease should it get into their or
chards While tbe blight la tbe mokt dis

has done much damage, but the fruit
growers have made such a vigorous
fight against tbe pcBt that tbey have
it fully under control and if no new
infection ii brought in on imported
trees, will be able to exterminate it.
Their county fruit Inspector, Geo. V.
Taylor, has been exceedingly vigilant
and it is largely to his efforts that tbe
pest has been checked before it got
thoroughly established in tbe or
chards. Prof. O'Gara pays Mr. Tay
lor the compliment of being a well
poatad and efficient county fruit in
spector.
George W. Taylor, froit inspector
for Jackson couuty, was in Grants
Panjlast Saturday to interview Secre
tary Meserve, of the Fruit Growers
Association, in regard to what was
being done iu Josephine oouuty to
enforce tbe state fruit .peet laws and
especially as to wbat was being done
to stamp out the pear blight that has
made its appearance in both counties.
Mr. Taylor stated that extraordinary
vigilance was being maintained both
by himself and by the orchard ists uf
Jackson ci-unty to eradicate the blight
as fast as it appears in an orchard.
He is on duty from 13 to 16 hours each
day aud every day in t''e week, be
even being compelled to work Sun
day in order to visit all tha orchards
reiorted as possibly Infected with tbn
blight. Tiie fruit growers are equally
as alert and at all tbe big orchards
two men are kept in each on constant
patrol duty, while the smaller of the
commercial orchards are patroled by
one man, aud tbe farmers are giviug
daily inspections of their fruit trees.
There are now about ttOOO acres set to
pear trues iu JackHou county and
with tbe record prices that the
growers got last season of from $2 to
U.20 a box tbey do not propose to sit
idly by while tha blight ruins this
highly profitable industry as it al
most did in California before the
growers there awoke to their danger.
Mr. Taylor was surprised that no
npeoial effort was being made iu this
county to eradicate the blight for if
this destructive pest is allowed to be
come firmly established it would end
tbu pear industry here aud would soon
spread to Jackson county and complete
the ruin of the pear industry in tint
section of Hogue River Valley. Tbe
state law on fruit pests is very drastic
"lid far reaching and allows counties to
demaud its enforcement of the law
in adjoiuing counties that are negli
gent, and should this uoeuty allow
the law to go by default Jackson
county would in self protection bo
compelled to take steps to have this
county do its duty.

Tbe cannery which was recently erect

The mountaius which shut in this
little valley are covered with timber
of every kiud, which in oourse of
time, is run through the mills aud
used for building purposes.
Iu lOOfi the cut was estimated at 20,
000,000 feet, which is increning every
year. B low are a few of our many
kinds of wood. Yellow pine, sugar
pine, white pine, similar to the Nor
way pine, Oregon piue or fir, similar
to the eastern hemlock, cedar, oak,

Miuing another industry of Oregon
is one cf impotrance. Placer mining
is carried on more successfully in tbe
wet season, where hydraulic giants are
used to operate it. Quartz miuing is
done by dynamiting or blasting. Gold,
copper, and silver are the principal
minerals.
Hunting and fishing is the delight
of every man and boy aud iu some
instances the girls aud women enjoy
it equally as well. Josephine county
after cutting a vast amount of timbers
still presents rare oportunities for tbe
man behind the gun. Far back in the
woods and canyons are to be found
deer, bear, mountain lions and a large
variety of lesser game rind "he Is a

is undeveloped, bat offers good op
portunities. 1 lie alfalfa furnishes
abundance of forage unsurpassed for
dairy purposes.
Last but iu uo wise the least is our
euterprisiug "Commercial Club."
If it were not for their untiring efforts
our city would not be what it is to
day. It was through th ir skill aud
labor that the once small town of a
few Ktons and residences grew t3 be a
city of 600D inhabitauts. Friends, It
is our duty and your duty to encour
