ASHIiANI). Or., Fob. 2C S. P
Jlolph hno closed a deal for tho pur
chase of 30 acres of orchard and
orchard land In Wagner valley, a
mile from Talent and five miles west
of Ashland from E. E. Foss for a
consideration of $9000, and consid
ers ho has secured 'one of tho best
bargains In the valley. Twenty acres
of tho tract are set to young npplo
trees, with peaches as fillers. There
are no other Improvements upon tho
property. Mr. Kolph proposes to set
tho ten nacres not yet planted to
pears. Mr. Foss has made a neat for
tune In tho orchard business In Wcg
ner valley In tho past few years, a
previous sale a year or more ago of
Ills old place In the same vicinity net
ting him a sum running well into
lour figures. He could probably have
secured a considerably larger price
for the tract sold to Rolph by hold
ing another year, but Is content to
divide a handsome profit with the
next owner.
George Dewey has sold his 40-acre
tract In the same vicinity as the Foss
place but a little farther up the Wag
r.cr valley, to A. NIehnns, for S1S,
000. Eleven acres of the 40 are set
to fruit and the whole tract- offers
one of the numerous attractive fruit
growing propositions of this rich lit
tle vnlley west of Ashland.
William Kerr Is negotiating for a
$9000 tract In the same vicinity,
through B. P Hughes, who negotiat
ed the two sales above mentioned.
All of the parties named above as
purchasers and prospective purchas
ers are former Hood River valley ap
plegrowers. Mr. Rolph came to this
valley a year ago from Hood River
and purchased the Meliza fruit farm
just south of Ashland. His expert
ence here has mad him enthusiastic
over tho fruitgrowing Industry of this
valley. Last week when Messrs. Nle-
hans and Kerr, Hood River acqualn
tances, dropped In here, ho Joined
them In a visit to tho Wagner valley
section, and they soon contracted
the Rogue River river fruit growing
fever, too. Mr. Rolph will continue
to make his home In Ashland while
developing his new purchase.

afternoon to dismiss matters relat
ing to the Jeffrien-Johnson fight, the
fans hnd plenty to do in discussing
mmors of war nnd subsequent re
conciliation between the promoters
Glenson heretofore has been hold
ing out for Sn Francisco as the
scene of the great heavvweight bat
tie. When lex Kickard, niter a
conference with Supervisor Herget
of the police commission, announced
that San Francisco would get the
mill, Qleason immediately became
dubious.
Jack desired it understood that he
had a say in the matter and that the
firm of Ricknrd and Gleaason might
yet see fit to go to some arena in
Ihe vicinity of Sari Francisco that
as already in existenco rather than
spend several thousand precious
dollars in building an arena here.
Gleason expressed confidence,
'however, thnt he nnd Rickard could
reach an agreement nnd that prob

Good Fruit Crusade Starts.
CORONA, Cnl., Feb. 25. Local
orchardists are planning to organize
in the near future for the purpose of
cheeking the shipments of unripe nnd
damaged fruits to the outside mnr
kets. An effort will bo made to have
all growers in the citrus bolt of the
stnto join in the movement.
The cood fruit crusade was start
ed on account of the fact that the
growers of wholesome fruit discov
ered that the market in tho east was
"being damaged by shipments of
"trashy" fruits which must ho sold
at auction. It is expected that the
California Fruit association will
take official action regarding the
matter.

CUNT HAL POINT, Or., Feb. "Jo. -Members
of tho Ladies' Improvement
club are elnted over the great suc
cess of tho "tug day" and supper
which wore given under their aus
pices. A number of charming young la
dies of the hiirh school wens enlisted
for the day to sell tngs, nnd right'
well did they do their work. Every
man in town was forced .to pay tnb- j
ute to the era of civic improvements i
for which the improvement club '
stands and to the credit of the .
town bo it said every man jack of I
them was n willing victim nnd rend-1
ily capitulated to the blandishments
of the pretty salesgirls. It is hint-'
cd that Mayor Lcever was the most,
susceptible man in (own to the win-,
ning smiles of the tag-venders, but I
he is noncommittal as to the exact I
number of tags ho purchased, while
Glenn Owen, who was right up in the
mnyor's class, was proud of his ex
hibit and didn't enre who knew how
inany he invested in but then Glenn
is not married yet.
In the evening the club ladies serv
ed a most tempting and satisfying
supper in tho town hnll from 5 to 9
o'clock, the menu consisting of Bos
ton baked beans, sandwiches, pick-1
les, salad, coffee, cake and fruit. A I
fine cake presented to the club by)
the Central Point Bakery was sold;
at auction after supper, netting the
club $6.50.
AH told, the receipts of the day
nnd evening netted tho club more
than $100. This money will be ex
pended in beautifying the town in
various ways, one plan now being
considered is to improve a portion of
the school grounds, on a plan to be
mapped out by some competent land
scape gardener.
Tho ladies of the club are all much
pleased with tho success of the day
because of the interest shown nnd
patronage given by everybody. It
shows thnt the sentiment of the town
is strongly behind the club in its
campaign of civic improvement.

awaiting nuthoritntive announcement
from either Jack Gleason or Tex
Rickard designating the location of
the arena in which Johnson and Jef

WON OVER GOVERNMENT
BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, Feb
25. Although conflicting advices of
success and failure by contending
armies in the vicinity of Nicaragua
have been received here, it is be
ioved that nn insurgent victory over

completed tho overthrow of tho administration.
All that remains now to insure tho
establishment of the provisional
government is a formal occupation
of Managua,
Accbrding to dispatches received
lero according to General Estrada,
tho occupation of the capital will

ently believing that no actloa for 11'
bol can bo brought In a Federal court
tho senate this afternoon passed tho
Cummins bill for tho extradition of
corporations on the same bads as In

that the Judgo of tho district In which
tho defendant concern Is situated
must Indorse the notice before service
The words, "when Indorsed by tho
Judgo of 3iicl district" wero added as
Insistence of Mr. Root. The clause
as changed now reads:
"Such notices shall bo directed to
tho marshal! of nny district of the
United States In which tho service
may be mado, and, when Indorsed by
the Judgo of such district, bo served
upon such offender agrceablo by the
methods prescribed by tho law for
the servco of civil process upon artl-
Ocal persons in the district in which
service is made, and not more than
twenty days before the tlmo of such
hearing."
The bill Ib chiefly Intended to reach
corporations committing crimes
aga'nst the postal law. Tho bill pro
,vide3 that tho penalty of flno shall
bo assessed against a corporation In
tho absenco of appearance, but tho
punishment docs not go beyond thnt
point. '
