There are aome Rood properties In that Boctlon of tho city, ench of which pay for pro tort Ion, but do not net It. It Is to bo hoped thnt the city council will tnke up thin matter and promptly provide fire plugs bo that In rime of a fire along the southern border of the city there will be water for tine If II Hliould be needed.

The car left here about 3 o'clock and made a record run to Medford, where It took on board about 25 more business men and then pushed on to Ashland, where tho party was met by quite a number of Ashland people. The visitors who desired It were taken In nutomoblles over the city, but there was only time for a brief run when the "All aboard" for the re turn was sounded and tho party were soon homeward bound, nrrlvlng at Omits Pass at about 7 o'clock, hav ing been nwny only three hours.

Tho car stops at all stations. Grants Pass, Ore., March 2S, 1910. To the Editor of the Rogue River Courier: Less than two years ago 1 was In full possession of a beautiful and valuable orchard home In the heart of the far-famed blue grass region of Kentucky, two miles from the capital of the state, a city of about 15,000 people. Trolley cars ran within 50 feet of my door, along and parallel with one of the best turnpike '-roads In the whole state. Then, as now, I was a fruit enthusi ast, and lad devoted years of thought and labor to Its growth and produc tion, after methods on scientific lines of the leading horticulturists in the United States. Whenever weather conditions were favorable I was not without my re ward, but, alas, these conditions were few and far between and dis appointment and discontent followed. This trouble was not single-handed. I was, and had been for years, af flicted with asthma, which, at the time of my leaving, had reached an Wall Paper.

Coe Co. oral leading horticultural papers, in returns came in got 30 cents per lex I noti.Hl when delivering my fine Rartleit pears that one of our nwd fi 'lit Brewers and one of the d-rtus of this exchange, was de liver a lot of his fine fruit around amor;',' the different groceries. This occurred to me as being very strange an,; I couM not fathom it. He, no doult, can fully explain the reason wty Le was not patronizing his own ; fruit exchange. j Furthermore, I asked the manager : what disposition would be made of, my culls. The reply was that they j would he put back in my emptied! boxes and set aside where I could get them. When I went after mr boxes not one cull pear did I find. Now, Mr. Editor, I have told my story. I would like to hear that of the fruit exchange for this county. Please tell me what encouragement I have to deliver my prospective crop to this exchange under such man agement as the past season, or what Inducement have I to continue to grow pears or any other kind of fruit as for that matter? Is a remedy in sight? Is an Investigation In order? If not, perhaps I am not yet done with this matter. Very respectfully, D. M. WOODSON. enjamin Clothes and K nox Hats Meeting of U. S. Fonnter. M. J. Anderson, the forest super visor, and his deputy, N. F. McDuff, returned from Portland on Monday from attending a meeting of tho of ficers and forest BiipervlsorB of dis trict No. 6, composed of the states of Washington. Oregon and all or Alnskn.

This wns not till I had previously digested much of the literature scat tered broadcast over the East bv the many commercial clubs, railroad companies, etc., Interested In the de velopment of this country. Being a fruit enthusiast I was na turally lured this way and drifted here like a log down Rtream and landed with, not "visions or Riignr plums dancing In my head," but with visions or PROFITS from bounteous crops of big fancy pears and peaches, etc., and arter n bit. from crops of Flame Tokny grapes.
