ty mo to secure representation
Medford fruit growers on tho program
and Jn the dLplay at our annual meet
ing at Portland tho present month.
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.

piles In such a position ns to strength

much pleasure. 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

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."

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
