BUMPER CROP PROSPECTS.
Thus far ideal weather conditions have prevailed in tho
Rogue River valley and indications are fbr a bumper crop
of fruit of all kinds. It has been the most favorable spring
for several seasons.
Apricot, almond and peach trees are already in bloom
while the fruit buds are swelling on all other varieties
indicating that if the usual spring conditions obtain the
valley will ship double the output of the past year.
Examination by experts proves that the apple bloom
is twice as heavy as it was a year ago, presaging a much
heavier apple crop. Bartlett pears will not be quite as
heavy as last season, when a phenomenal crop was har
vested, although there will be a large yield. Other pears
are fruiting heavier than a year ago.
The cool, frosty nights are having the tendency to hold
back the fruit and partially check the warm sunny days.
SUBSCRIBE AT ONCE. "
It is necessary that Medford raise a large number of
srabscriptions for the Crater Lake highway, for if Medford
does not set the example, it cannot be expected that the
people of the state will respond generously to the appeal
for funds. 'IISIIWL1 E
The committee as yefrhas only begun its labors in reas
ing money. If it cannot secure a much larger amount
pledged than is alreadj' signed for, it will be useless to
ittempt to go on with the proceedings. It. is therefore up
to every public-spirited citizen to enroll his name with
he committee at once.
Some withhold subscriptions because of personal dis
like for members of the committee. The personnel of the
committee should not stand in the way. Its members are
giving their time unselfishly to the cause.
Only those make no mistakes who do not do things, so
citizens of Medford must be broad-spirited enough to pull
together, regardless of personal dislikes, in a movement
which means so much for the welfare of the communitv.
WHY MEDFORD SECURES A LARGE DEPOT.
Construction has begun of the $50,000 depot for Med
ford by the Southern Pacific companv. Tins denot. which
0 w A.
is but one of many buildings to be erected here dining the
coming season, -as to be the finest structure of its kind out
side of Portland in Oregon. It is designed for a city of
dU,UO0 people, showing what railroad officials think of
Bedford's future.
The new depot is much larger than those recently erect
ed at Eugene, Albany and other places. It is in some re
spects a duplicate of that built at Walla Walla, said to be
the handsomest structure alone the line.
The new depot calls attention to the growth of Medford
as a tramc center. This city now ranks first among the
cities or Uregon m railroad business more carloads be
ing shipped in and out of Medford than are shipped in and
out oi any ottier city except the metropolis. Both pas
senger and freight traffic in 1909 exceeded that from anv
other point, although some of the cities have doubled the
population.
More carloads of commodities are received at Medford
than at any other station, and more carloads of hoiisnlinld
goods, indicating a greater influx of homeseekers, coming
rrom a greater number ot states practically every state
in the "Union being represented.
The railroad business has for the T)ast four venra in-
creased by leaps and bounds, and it is said that 1909 showed
an increase in railroad receipts over four vears a oxmpA-
ing a thousand dollars a day. That this ratio of increase
win oe more tnan maintained during the coming year and
S A . in m
miure years tnere is every reason to believe.
Officials estimate that within a few vears the "Romi
JJiver valley will be shipping 10,000 cars of fruit a year.
As each j'ear sees many thousands of acres of nlinifnri m-
;hard,area brought into bearing, as well as many thousands
acres additional planted, it will be but a question of a short
time before Medford becomes the greatest fruit shipping
point m tne world.
INDIAN BADLY BEATS
HIS WIFE WITH MONEY
LOS ANGELES, March 14. Tho
police are searching today for Chn8.
Edmondton, o Imlf-hreed Indian, who

Maud Powell.
(The Minneapolis Journal.)
After some years of bearing vio
linists, good, bad and indifferent, the
writer is about ready to say that ho
wonld rather hear Maud Powell than
nnj of them, great dr small. Sho
is impocnble in intonation. Her bow
piodnces tone and nothing more. Her
dexterities are' means, not ends. Ad
ded to nil this perfection of technic.
she is a stylist. Sho plays with bar
wholo heart. To her every note must
bo of 'supremo concern. There is no
mental lethargy about Miss Powell;
she never knows anything well
enough merely to play it. Ilor audi
ence does not yawn and study its'
program and wondor how long nc
fore she will hnvo done. Miss Pow
ell captivatod tho audlonco from he"
first appearance and oncoro after
encore wbb demanded nnd given with
a charming graco that won groat fa
vor. Miss Powell's magical work on .
deared her to tho audience nnd thor
oughly controverted tho nnciont idea
that man have a monopoly of tho vio
lin. Sho displays such thorough mas
tery of the instrument, delicacy uf
touch, doxtority and Hiiporb technical
ity that sho is oasly entitled to high
position sho hnn won in musical cir
cles." At tho Medford thenter, Tuos

It is a pleasure to
watch the toast
become crisp and
brown, and then re
move it from the G. E.
Radiant
Toaster
at the
precise
moment
it is done
The General Electric
Radiant Toaster
produces crisp, dclicioui toast, on the dining room table. It mates
toait by radiant heat the correct way. The center of the bread
becomes heated before the outside ii browned over, thus allowing
the ncccjtary chemical changes to take place, without which toatt
is oggy in the middle and hard on the outside.
The General Electric Radiant Toaster lightens breakfast tasks and
quickly pays for itself by saving time and bread. Come and sec a
demonstration of this electrical convenience.
