NAVARRO GETS MORE MLN. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND <8.000,000 FRUIT CROP. Reinforcements Arrive ?and Battis I» Especiad Immediately. HARRIMAN ROAD IS LOSER. Oregon Railed Vast Quantity Apple». Fruit Shipper Get» S2.OOO; Supreme Court Give» Decision. Pear». Peach«» and Other Fruita. Oregon*» fruit crop for 1910 had a value of close to 98.000,000, or almost double th« amount of three )i»n ago. Growth of the fruit industry of the state. while wonderful up to thia time, give» promise of »till further increase during the nc«t five year». The acreage now planted but not bearing will within the apace of a few year» give the »tate a crop that will bring more than 120,000,00? to the grower« and shippers. The greateat stride» have been made in the production of apple» ami pear«. Theae are the standard fruits, and naturally more growers go into those linen than in other». For in stance. while the total fruit crop of Oregon was valued at close to 98,000,. 000 the past season, the value of the apple crop alone was almoat half of thia, and with pears the aggregate was more than half of the state'» total pro duction of all other fruit». Oregon ha» an apple crop this season , that is worth 93.500,000, as compared with 91.423,800 for 1907. The total production of apples in the state this season whs 3,500,000 boxes, and the average price received was a dollar « box. The apple crop of 1907 was a fraction over 1,000,000 boxes. The great growth of the pear indus try can readily be understood when tbe figures are given, which show that the state's total crop three years ago amounted t<> 2 17.7'’" box«-.. of a valde of 9286,600, while this season the' growth reached a grand total of 1.000,- 000 boxes of a value of 91.25. Even thia great showing is scarcely rtpre set.tative of the eDOfttXXM Btri I' ■ ti..».!•• by the pear industry within recent j year» for »ince 1X97 the planting h a been the greatest in the history of the state, and these trees will not tie bear ing fruit for some years. Peaches grow to perfection in Ore gon. There are several districts wherein climatic conditions are almost ideal and the quality of the fruit i» such that the product brings ».premium of some extent over all other offer ings. In the territory tributary to The Italics the great«st growth of the peach induatry of the state has been shown during recent years. Salem- The judgment of the lower court of Umatilla county for damage» in the sum of 92.268 25 to F. V. Mar tin. a fruit shipix-r. against the Orc gon Railroad A Navigation company, was affirmed in an opinion written by Justice Slater, of the Supreme court. The action was brought by Marti?) to recover damage« amounting to 96,- 316 50 anil 91,000 attorney's fees for the railroad's failure to furnish a num- i her of refrigerator care to ship apples ’ from Milton, Or., to the East Mar tin’s right to recover damages was baaed solely upon section 26 of the Oregon railroad commission's laws, which provides that all transportation companies are compelled to furnish suitable shipping facilities for perish- afe’e goods. The Supreme court holds the railroad law covers the case cor rectly and tbe state's right to exercise police power over the railroads cannot tie questioned, in spite of the argument presented by defendant's Counsel, to the effect that the interstate shipping laws of thia state conflict with the In terstate Commerce commission's regu la t ions. Fear Too Many Railroads. Lebanon A (ictition was filed with the city recorder of the city of lx*ba- ; non a few davs ago on a franchise re cently granted to the Albany Interur ban Railway company, asking thst it be submitted to a vote of the people at the next general election which will be held in December, 1911. Thia will tie up the franchise of the proposed new road for a year. One of the main objections to the franchise on Second street is that it brings the two rail- i roads too close together. Dock for Newport. Newport The Port of Newport ccm- mission has been granted a lease on 430 feet along the waterfront for dock ing purposes. The lease will run for 40 years at a yearly rental of 9100. Work must begin on th building of a dock within five year». The commie- slop has not yet eigne:] the lease. PORTLAND MARKETS | , : i Chihuahua. Mex. Semi official in formation states thst the reinforce merits which left here last week by train and began their march at San Antonio expect to join General Na varro with two days. Aside from a brush between scouting parties near Mai Paso last Sunday, in which none were hurt, there baa been no fighting, in fact, the Federal» profess to believe that the insurr*- to» have d'-eerted Mai Paso. However, the Federal», it is Said, are not attempting to go through the pass. A Mexican coming direct from Ojin- aga related a Story of how 40 vaqueros working on a big ranch secured arms. They told their employer that they had no arms with which to defend them selves against the revolutionists. The employer, according to the story, gave each man a riffs, whereupon they de serted in a laaly to join the insurrectos. Vt hen the junction with Navarro is formixl, the Federal* will have 2,800 men in the disaffected district west of here. Those best informed predict a battle immediately, but there is no certainty that this is correct. NATIONAL GOVERNMENT NEWS ELECTRICAL TRUST SUED. POPULATION GROWS DENSE.
