The De Jones back lawn was a lawn
In uame only. It was really an arid
desert bald, so to speak and In dry
weather It was always as dusty as a
motor track. To the astoulsbmeut of
Mrs. De Bmythe, who lived next door,
she one day saw her devoted husband
turning the garden hose upon the De
Jones' "lawn."
"Well, I never!" she exclaimed. "I'm
sure I wouldn't trouble to lay the dust
In the De Jones' back yard. John, es
pecially as they are such a hateful lot
of gossips. Small thanks you'll get for
your trouble anyway."
Hubby turned to bis letter half with
a smile which told of mixed pleasure
and vindictive-lies.
"That's all right my dear. Their
darling little I'ido was washed snow
white this morning. Now he's out

MADE A LITTLE FORTUNE

M. L. Pellelt Heiirea After
Reaping at Splendid Harvest
from Oregon Soil.
The following from the Medford
Mail it characteristic of many who
have realized on thtir efforts in the
Kogue River Valley and retired with
a competence, and there are more op
portunities today than efer before to
make uoney besides enjoying the best
c imate iu America :
M. L. Peliett . left Tuesday after
noon for Imperial Valley, CaL, where
he will teside with his family. Be
fore leaving Mr. Peliett gave a Morn
ing Mail representative an interview
and the following in part is what he
said:
"I want you to say to my many good
friends in Jackson county that my
leaviug ia not a notion of my own
manufacture. Fact of the matter is
the doctors have said that my wife's
health would be materially benefitted
it she was to move to a lower altitude
and I moved, moved to a place low
er than the sea.
"If there is any one man in Jackson
county who has fared better than an
other, I guess I am it. Do you know,
this is a grand good country and I
truthfully believe a man can make
more mouev here on au investment of
125,000 than ha can with foO.OOO any
place between Seattle, Wash., and
Redlands. Cal. I have lived here SO
years, and in that length of time have
learned a few things, and this knowl
edge came to me by hard knocks aud
presistent effort. ' I am not telling you
this to eoloigze inystlf, but I am say
ing it to do a little something to fur
ther boost the best country on the Pa
cific coats
"When I started in this country
worked for $1 a day. That was
several years ago, but I am making
a pretty good finish. In clearing op
my .holdings here find myself 80,
000 00 tbe credit side of the books
the most of which I have realized
from the sale of my orchards
"The men who engage in the or
chard business iu the Rogue River
valley today have a decided advantage
over "us fellows who engaged in a like
business a number of years ago. Then,
when we planted an orchard we did
it by guess so far as varity was con
cerned. We had no idea aa to what
a really and troly commrrcial fruit
was,or where wewere to fiud a mar
ket for it. Today when an orchard is
planted the man who owns it knows
the'varlety the foreign oonsnmers de
mand. He knows how to care for his
or 0 hards and how to handle hia froit
to bring the best results iu fact, h
can esitmate within a very few dol
lars what a oertaiu piece of laud
planted to a certain varitey of fruit
will produce annually iu revenue, aud
he knows beyond the quebtion of a
doubt just what he can realize from
the sale of his orchard when it has
reaahed a certain age. All this aud
mary more smallsr details have been
brought about by experiments.
"I do not know of auy country
where a man can mske sure of Letter
returns from an investment than in
the Rogue River valley the country
th at I am leaving after clearing up
$ so, 000.
"II my wife's .health is entirely re
gained I will iu all probability return
to Jackson county and establish a
home for the rest of my days."

There Is a ,-staurunt Iu Broad street
In which n irly n thousand persons
eat during v noon hour. Each per
son eats wh ' lie pleases and when he
goes to th" cashier's desk announce
the amount of tils Indebtedness. The

honesty of t'.ielr patrons Is a saving of
precious Wall street minutes and. lie
sides. Is good business. Once In awhile

Cine of these, a youth, was "caught
with the gixnls ou" a few days ago
and taken to the office of the proprie
tors. Given the choice of being ar
retted or going Into the kitchen aud
washing dishes, the young man nearly
collapsed of shame nnd fright He
begged not to be arrested nnd ri
luotantly agreed to wash dishes. For
an hour or so the culprit struggled
with a pile of dishes In a tub of steam

"Outfirtere
"What do we do with the rubbish?
That's easy. The city buys small
tracts of ground that are in deep holes
formed by the grading of streets. The
property owners are required to de
posit their rubbish in barrels, boxes
or other receptacles that can be easily
handled.
"The rubbish Is collected by city em
ployees and sorted out. The bottles
aud papers ure sold. The ashes and
tin cans are dumped lu the holes
bought by the city. When the holes
are nearly tilled we put ou a covering
of clcuu earth aud convert the proper
ty Into public playgrounds for the chil
dren. Theu we get from 15 to 33
cents a hundred pounds for the paper
aud half a cent each for the bottles.
Last year we sold 31)0,000 bottles. Tbe
result?
"We convert unsightly holes In val
uable city property luto playgrounds.
We get rid of our rubbish at small
cost and trouble, and the city Is clean."
"Do the householders co-operate?"
"They are glad to have a place to get
rid of their rubbish. They call us up
wheu the barrels are full."
"How about garbage?"
"The householders are required to
have garbage cans, as you do here. It
cost us $100,000 last year to collect
and dispose of our garbage. But the
tallow, fertilizer and horse hides
brought us a revenue of $100,000. That
wiped out the cost We have a reduc
tion plant eight miles from the city.
The garbage Is hauled In tight wagons
to steel dump cars on the Baltimore
and Ohio railway. These cars are
owned by the city. Each ton of gar
bage brings us from $S to $9.50 when
It Is desiccated. The grease alone from
each ton of garbage brings us $3. If
the householders don't collect and de
posit the rubbish and garbage In prop
er receptacles so the city can handle
It, a sanitary inspector takes them Into
court. We have a sanitary Inspector
for each ward."
