STATK OP OREGON, County of Jack
son, ss:
On this 1st day of July, 1910, per
sonally appeared before me, G. Put
nam. manager of the Medford Moll Trl
one, who, upon oath, acknowledged that
the above figures are true and correct.
(Beal) IL N. YOCKET.
Notary Public for Oregon.
SHIPMENT of pears has begun in the Rogue River Val
ley and soon the fruit world villv resound with the
record breaking prices received. It is estimated that the
yield of the Medford district will approximate four hun
dred em's, which will net the growers half a million dollars.
Medford peal's command the highest prices, liartlet ts
have sold in eastern markets as high as $5 a box f. o. b.
car. The other other varieties, such as Cornice, have
brought in the vicinity of $10 and D'Airjon as high as $7.50.
Last year Bartletts averaged growers $2 a box net at
Medford.
The highest prices are secured because the finest peal's
known are produced here. No other region grows as
perfect a pear not even sunny France, where they origi
nate. Soil, altitude and climate combine to make the
Rogue River Valley the ideal pear region. Tu flavor,
keeping quality and appearance local peal's excel every
known pear. The tree is a thrifty one and produces con
tinuously for over half a century.
Another thing that helps the local grower secure high
prices, is that Medford pears reach the consumer just as
the last of the California crop is marketed and before
the local eastern crop is ripened. This helps to make
peal's the most profitable crop grown in Oregon, and
enables growers to net over $1,000 an acre annually, as has
been repeatedly done by Rogue River Valley orchardists.
Only a small fraction of the planted pear acreage is
in bearing. "Wlien the full 40,000 acres comes to maturity,
many millions of dollars a year will find its way to the
Rogue River Valley.

A SHORT while ago a canard was published asserting
that Medford, just completing a half million dollar
water system, was without fire protection, when over
2,000,000 gallons of water in the heights reservoir were
available for emergency use.
A second canard has been printed conveying the in
sinuation that graft is rampant in the city administra
tion because the monthly budget of bills was not printed.
There is no reason whv thev should be printed. The
lreroafPple- won sweepstakes prize jam(milt eamjd by laborerS Mid employes IS Of little inter
est to any one outside those directly concerned. Salaries
of officials are fixed by charter or ordinance. Other war
rants are principally for supplies, most of them purchased I
by contract. The city's books are open for the inspec
tion of all, any any one having any desire to investigate
can find out what is paid.
Neither the Mail Tribune nor any other city newspaper
prints the lists of city warrants, because there is not suffi
cient news in them to justify it. Village papers sometimes
print them as a source of village gossip. Here they would
fill several columns that would otherwise be filled with
readable news. If paid for publication, the list would be
printed. But they have never, in Medford or elsewhere,
been adjudged of sufficient importance either to be jninted
as news or advertisement.
Medford has as good a city government as any city of
its size anywhere and as clean and free from graft. For
home papers to publish falsehoods and groundless insinua
tions of scandal is not a good way of advertising Medford.

The girl, however, wrung her

When searched by a btewnrde&s
she was wearing a canvas harness to
conceal her figure, besides which she
wore a soft shirt, looso-fitting tiSus

cut short and partod in tho middle.
Every one aboard tho Montrose

Insuectpr Dew today expressed the
belief that the woman did not par

Crippen home in London. According
to Dritish lnw, the suspects may not

regarding the crime of which they
are accused. They are warned that
anything they may say will bo used

relieved that he is in custody. We
are angry that our child lias deceiv
