1 MUST GET
t TOGETHER l
So Says W. K. Newell, President of
State Horticultural Board, Who Is
Spending, a Few Days in Valley
Pleased With Progress Toward
Co-operation Evident Here.
That organization Is ho one factor
which can do the most to help tho
commercial grower of fruit Is tho be
lief advanced by W. K. Newell, pres
ident of the state board of horticul
ture, who Is spending a few days In
tho valley. Mr. Newell eays:
"Tho most Important question now
confronting tho fruitgrower of tho
northwest Is that of organization and
distribution. Up to tho present time
tho market problem has been a com
paratively easy one, because wo have
had only a small quantity of very
fancy stuff, and buyers were eager to
get It. Rut each year production
will double If not quadruple, and tho
old method, or I should say lack of
method, of marketing will no long
er suffice. Chicago and New York
alone cannot use all our product.
New Markets Needed.
"There are thousands of towns In
the United States that would use In
tho aggregato enormous quantities of
our fruit that now nover see It at
all. With tho completion of tho Pan
ama canal, wo can load refrigerator
steamers at our ports and tho mar
kets of Europo will bo almost at our
doors, nut tho Individual grower or
small dealer cannot posslbluy reach
or develop these markets. It will not
suffice to simply send a fmv cars to
new markets In times of plenty, in
order to create a demand that can
be depended upon there must bo a
steady, regular supply at tho com
mand of the retailer.
Examples Cited.
"Look, for instance, at the banana
and tho orange they are always on
sale everywhere, from tho swellest
frultorers on Hroadway to the small
est grocory In the most Insignificant
village. Wo must, as tho supply In
creases, distribute northwestern ap
ples and pears Just as wldoly and
thoroughly. It Is obvious that this
can bo done only by moans of a
strong organization. Such an organ
ization thoro will bo in duo time, and
It rests with tho growers right now
to say whether it shall bo an organ
ization of groworo or one of dealers.
It seoms to me of vital Importance
that tho growers havo control of
such nn organization. I believe In
using every available method of dis
tribution, of giving every commission
man a chance to share in tho work,
but tho control of the fruit nbsolute-

CONTINGENT GET LEFT
It's pretty hard to leave a bunch
of Medford people, but such was tho
fate of some of those who journey
ed to Colestln Sunday. When tho
train arrived at Ashland they got off
and rubbered around, taking in tho
sights, overlooking tho time for the
train to leave, as a consequenco they
were stranded in the Granite city un

water and then hike for the north

Next tlmo the beauties of Ashland
will not attract them,

It is said tho threo Kendalls wero

Sheriff Smith's deputies todny con
tinued their search of tho lavlnes nnd

finding additional charred bones or
other relics that might show that T.

A bnndlo of bono fragments, Includ

that of young Kendall, was brought
here today for examination by Bur

The jawbone Is rolled upon by tho
Sonoma officials to establlim tho fact
that young Kendall was killed and
his body cremnted. In tho jaw aro
gold filled teeth, and these, It Is hop
ed, will estrblish Identity.
Owing to tho prosent uncertainty
