WINTER HITS SOUTH.
Record
Broken in Texas—Chicago
Strikers Suffering.
Chicago—All doubts that winter of
the old fashioned variety has settled
down upon the country were dispelled
Wednesday when dispatches from all
points West and South told of temper­
atures near or below zero. In some
instances cold is accompanied by fine
snow frozen to the consistency and
sharpness of glass, and which is drift­
ing badly, driven by high winds.
In Chicago a new mark of four de­
grees above was reached, which means
intensely cold weather because of the
proximity of Lake Michigan, and the
moisture, which penetrates the very
marrow of one’s hones.
Visitors from the extreme North­
west, British Columbia and the Upper
Michigan peninsula, where 20 to 50 be­
low zero is not uncommon, suffer in­
tensely from the damp cold in Chicago.
All the city, county and private
charitable institutions are crowded to
the limit.
The garment workers’
strike has thrown 45,000 destitute per­
sons upon the bounty of the city and
county, and this additional load, with
the already large number of helpless
inhabitants, is taxing the resources of
charitable bodies.
These thousands of dependent per­
sons are too poorly clothed and nourish­
ed to take advantage of any other
work that is offered them, so they con­
stitute a constant drag upon the charit­
able institutions, and will continue so
all winter. Work in comfortable fac­
tories at top wages is open to all the
striking garment workers, but they
prefer to remain dependent upon char­
ity rather than surrender their “ prin­
ciples.” The majority of them are
not citizens of the country and have a
very remote idea of what the row is all
about, taking the word of inflamma­
tory orators for it.
A feature of the present siege of
cold weather is its penetration of the
more or less Sunny South. Dispatches
from San Antonio, Tex., say all re
cords have been broken there, and all
over Southern Texas, where early
crops of garden truck have been de
Btroyed.
Similar conditions are re­
ported in New Orelans and vicinity,
Texas reports two deaths from freez
ing and the destruction of thousands
of dollars’ worth of livestock.
Snow fell in Texas, Arkansas, Ten­
nessee, Kentucky and northern parts
of Mississippi and Alabama.
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
$8,000,000 FRUIT CROP.
Oregon Raised Vast Quantity Apples,
Pears, Peaches and Other Fruits,
Oregon’s fruit crop for 1910 had a
value of close to $8,000,000, or almost
double the amount of three years ago.
Growth of the fruit industry of the
state, while wonderful up to this
time, gives promise of still further
increase during the next five years.
The acreage now planted—but not
bearing—will within the space of a
few years give the state a crop that
will bring more than $20,000,003 to the
growers and shippers.
The greatest strides have been
made in the production of apples and
pears. These are the standard fruits,
and naturally more growers go into
those lines than in others. For in­
stance, while the total fruit crop of
Oregon was valued at close to $8,000,-
000 the past season, the value of the
apple crop alone was almost half of
this, and with pears the aggregate was
more than half of the state’s total pro­
duction of all other fruits.
Oregon has an apple crop this season
that is worth $3,500,000, as compared
with $1,423,800 for 1907.
The total
production of apples in the state this
season was 3,500,000 boxes, and the
average price received was a dollar a
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 the
figures are given, which show that the
state’s total crop three years ago
amounted to 247,760 boxes, of a value
of $286,600, while this season the
growth reached a grand total of 1,000,-
000 boxes of a value of $1.25. Even
this great showing is scarcely repre
sentative of the enormous strides made
by the pear industry within recent
years, for since 1897 the planting has
been the greatest in the history of the
state, and these trees will not be 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 is
such that the product brings a'premium

HARR1MAN ROAD IS LOSER.
Fruit Shipper Gets $2,000; Supreme
Court Gives Decision.
Salem—The judgment of the lower
court of Umatilla county for damages
in the sum of $2,258.25 to F. V. Mar­
tin, a fruit shipper, against the Ore­
gon Railroad & Navigation company,
was affirmed in an opinion written by
Justice Slater, of the Supreme court.
The action was brought by Martin to
recover damages amounting to $6,-
316 50 and $1,000 attorney’s fees for
the railroad's failure to furnish a num­
ber of refrigerator cars to ship apples
from Milton, Or., to the East. Mar­
tin’s right to recover damages was
based 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
able goods. The Supreme court holds
the railroad law covers the case cor­
rectly and the state’s right to exercise
police power over the railroads cannot
be questioned, in spite of the argument
presented by defendant’s counsel, to
the effect that the interstate shipping
laws of this state conflict with the In­
terstate Commerce commission’s regu­
lations.
