Has World for Market.
Tho northwest Pacific lias tbe
world for such apples as her cli
mate and soil can grow. The secret
of her ability to supply and hold tho
market Is to grow only tho best,
packing It the best. Where soil con
ditions are right here, and n falluro
occurs In apple and pear growing, tho
cause will nlways bo found In tho
neglect of tho man; his neglect of de
tails, as spraying at the proper time,
lack of Intelligent cultivation, and
thinning tho fruit and careless pack
ing. Success In fruit growing, as In any
Is had only whore i

ductlon is pertinent. From a hygicn-
ls point of view, tho peoplo aro learn
ing it Is cheaper to daily eat fruit
and have health than gorge on mdats
nnd have to pay tho doctor. Tho de
mand for fruit Is constantly on tho
Increase as tho masses become edu
cated on lines of health. Tho in
crease of population is always in
creasing the demand for tho best.
Frnit Zone Limited.
The fruit zones throughout tho!
United States for certain types of ap
ples, such as tho Newtown and Splt
tenberg aro very limited. These two
varieties are tho commercial apples of
the northwest Pacific states. Thero
la no other fruit zone than can grow
la Xewtown or Spltienberg with suc
cess on commercial lines. Thoso su
perb apples do not compete with east
ern grown apple3. If there was com
petition, why do our eastern applo
growers sell a barrel of their best
apples, containing two and a half
bushels, in eastern markets for less
than tho grower gets for a box of
our apples of ono bushel?
Many thousands of boxes of New-
towns aro exported to Europe, and

Ono of tho best of tho state
papers is teh Mail Tribune,
of which Medford lias every
reason to bo proud, and to
which it should be deeply
grateful. A short timo ago
tho Mail Tribune was the
Tribune, n capital evening
paper, published by Gcorgo
Putnam, whoso fine joumnl
istio instincts did much to
help Mr. Jackson mako his
Journal a success; the Mail
was Medford's morning paper
a pretty good paper, loo,
for an interior town. Mr.
Putnam bolioved tho Tribune
and Mail would bo better con
solidated; his proposal of
purchase was accepted by the
proprietors of tho Mail, nnd
ho is ownor nnd editor of tho
combined papers and plants.
Tho Tribune has done much
good work for Medford nnd
Jackson county; in building
up his district, Mr. Putnam is
not only enthusiastic himself,
but is tho causa of enthusi
asm in others. His talents as
an organizer and builder are
