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.

in the sum of 92.268 25 to F. V. Mar
tin. a fruit shipix-r. against the Orc

was affirmed in an opinion written by
Justice Slater, of the Supreme court.
The action was brought by Marti?) to

the railroad's failure to furnish a num- i

Mar
tin’s right to recover damages was
baaed solely upon section 26 of the

the railroad law covers the case cor

presented by defendant's Counsel, to
the effect that the interstate shipping

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.
