Commenting editorially, however, you say my letter "does not explain rhy the society did not at'end the Medford meeting In 1907, to which tho officers did not even send regrets, though preparations had teen mado for their entertainment." Permit mo to say that the Information on which your comment Is based Is entirely er roneous. Several of our members wer0 In attendance. One of our vice presidents was present, as was also Secretary Lake, tho latter having made a "forced march" from tho Cas cado mountain forest rcservo In or-, der to attend the meeting. That tho accrecate number of our members and tho contents had piled down stream against the buttresses. Ordc slept that night nt the booms. The water by morning had crept so far up the plies that there began to be danger that It would overflow their tops. In that case, of course, the logs In tho booms would also run out Ordo set a crew of men to raising the height of the piling by tying logs firm ly to the bolted Umbers atop. This would take care of an extra two feet of water, a two feet beyond all previ ous records. Another crew stretched the fifteen Inch manlla cables across the field of logs In order to segregate them Into several units of mas3. About two hours later the pile driv er moved up. The swing was opened. and the men began to drive clumps of piles In such a position ns to strength closed the gate. Clumsy nnd slow ns was his mechanism, he nevertheless succeeded In getting the lung arm started. Tho logs, rushing In back of It. hurried It shut, immediately they Jammed again and heaped up In n for Medford, Oregon, frontago R3.1. foot on west sldo Olson street!

I was unable, how ever, by reason of sudden Illness to snake the trip. This fact, with my .regrets, I telegraphed to the meeting prior to tho opening thereof. It Is evident that tho reading of my mes sage was overlooked. I trust that I have now fully cor rected the erroneous ImprosalonB en tertained by your Informants concern ing the attitude of our society and Its officers towards the people of Med ford and tho fruit growers of the ,RoguoRlver valky. If my assu-r-tlon In this regard Is correct, may I not bespeak the co-operation of your enternrlslnc and valuable paper In solving these questions: How can the State Horticultural society best subserve the Interests of Rogue River valley fruit growers! How can tho well known energy and Intelligence of your thriving hor ticultural community ho brought to bear as a unit to help tho State Hor ticultural society ralso Oregon to the foremost place as a fruit-growing state, and mnkj our annual meeting and display a truly stato event? An event which shall bring out the best efforts of all Oregon fruit growers; an event which shall attract buyers and visitors from eastern states, and be a matter of pride to all cltlteno of Oregon? Do you agre0 with mo that the ob ;ject Is worth the effort? If so, tho 'record of Medford and of tho Roguo Elver valley warrants my expecta tion of largo results. I shall bo glad to hear from you or any of your read ers aloong these lines. Very sincere ly. H. C. ATWELL. beneath It the water boiled In eddies Orde. looking nt It, roused himself to sudden activity. "Get a move on." he advised Cap tain Aspinwnll of the driver. "If that ASHLAND MAN SETTLES CHARGE, PAYING $13,000 M. P. Daniels, who left Ashland curly in October, after a few months' residence, in company with an Illi nois sheriff, in answer to n charge in the courts there growing out of tho alleged embezzlement of $17,000 while engaged in a business enter prise as a member of the Votaw Lumber compnny, has compromised tho ense by tho payment of tho sum of $13,000 to tho company to reim burse it. Mr. McDaniol's father i3 n well to do banker of Ohio, and the family is highly respected and prom inent, it is said, in that state. Mc Dnniol purchased an orchard tract southeast of Ashland which ho later disposed of. Tho following is from tho Win chester, Indiana, Ilorald of Deo. 8: "Acording to n dispatch from Mt. Cunnel, Illinois, M. P, McDanicl, who formorly resided in this city and is well known hero, compromised a case in tho circuit court court in that city, by paying to tho Votaw Lumber company, tho sum of $13,000. Mc Daniel was formerly a partner in the concern which operates extensively in southern Indiana nnd Illinois, nnd it is stated that some time ago ho loft tho' concern nnd went to Oregon. Shortly oftor, so tho report goes, it developed thnt .$17,000 of the com pany's funds had lieon misappropri ntcd. Tho grand jury, it is stnted, indictod MoDnniel in Soptembor and ho wns brought back to Mt. Carroel two weeks ago." Ue lived constantly in the icoodi. Jam breaks on ns we want to bo ready, and If it don't break before you get this swing strengthened maybe we can hold her wbero she Is. There's no earthly doubt that thoso boom plies will never stand up when they get the full pressurp of tho freshet" The driver's crew labored desperate ly, hoisting the piles Into the carriage tripping tbo heavy hammer, binding feverishly the clumps of piles together by means of cables. Two of the clamps bad beea placed and bo nnd when suddenly, with a roar, the upper booms gave way, projecting their logs upon the opening and tho driver. The half dozen members of the crew were scattered by the winds of a panic. Two or three flung themselves on their faces; one leaped into tho river. Immi nent destruction seemed upon them. Tom North, at the winch that open ated the arm of the swing, however, retained bis presence of mind. At the first sag outward of the boom piles be set In operation the machinery thnt twecn his teeth, stood culm, the lever of his winch In his hand. A short three feet from the snot ou which he stood tho first saw log of tho many thnt might have overwhelmed him thrust forward Its uply head. The wash of the water lifted the huge pile driver bodily and deposited it with n crash half on the bank and half In the water. Instantly after the first break Orde had commenced running out over the booms from the shore. "Good boy, TomP be shot nt North. Across the Jam be hurried to where the pile driver Iny. Captain Asptnwall examined the supports of the derrick, on deck. "Thnt wns lucky," said Orde briefly. "Stove you In J" "I I don't think so." replied the cap tnln. ' "That's good. I'll send over tho tug to help get her afloat We've got our work cut out for us now." "You don't expect me to work my driver under the face of that Jnmr cried the captain. "What's the matter?" asked Orde. "It Isn't safe." replied the captain, "and I don't Intend to risk my mcr or my driver." Ordo. with a snort of anger, seized the man and thrust' him bodily over the side to the bank. "Safe, you white Uvcred skunk!" he roared. "Safe! Go over In the middle bf rbat ten acre lot nnd He down on your face and sec If you feel safe there! Get out. the whole pack of youl I'm In charge here now." Asptnwall picked himself up. "Get off my driver!" he snarled. "This driver Is requisltlonc-dr cried Orde. "Get out! I've got to save my logs!" Tom North and some others of tho crew came running across the Jam. "Get a cablo to the winch!" Ordo shouted at these as soon as they were TO BE COKTWUKD. 4- ---- t niTY HflTlfiES.
