UNDER the caption "Getting Rich Quiok in Apples"
Emerson Tlongh in the Saturday Evening Post dis
cusses the nnnle. business in the northwest and summar
ies the situation and prospects as they appear to him after
a visit to all of the famous fruit districts.
The article is fair, unbiased and impartial and contains
much wholesome advice. It analyzes the situation trom a
cold business and commercial view point. Emphasis U
placed upon the failures rather than the successes and
the evident object of the article is to 'puncture the apple
boom'' by damning with faint praise. Altogether too mucn
eastern money is coming west to suit the eastern banker.
Like overf writer who discusses the subject of invest
ments, Mr. Hough is ultra-conservative. Pessimism, rather
than optniism colors his ink. The cloudy side of fruit
raising is set forth at length, which perhaps, is well, as
boom 'literature paints the other view altogether too al
luringly. i If one followed the advice of these literary viewers,
investigators nnd muck-rakers, the only, investments ever
1 made would be United States gold bonds. No departures

There is too much chance. Stay in the rut, draw your one

the advice showered upon the multitude by the wise acres
Of journalism, lest some tool blame rue writer lor ms ov n
foiiy. . . ....
Emit raisinir.docs not differ much from other business
in its MiinuiertMnl asnects. except that it is more allur
ing. Brains, energy and capital are essential, as in all
other kinds of business, more essential than in most other
kinds of business. It has as all other forms of human en
terprise have, its proportional percentage of successes, and
of failures. It has its speculative sharks, its painstaking
developers and its ne'er-do-wells.-
Prosperity seems to have her permanent abode in sonic
fruit groves and failure -penury and woo in others ad
joining. It all depends upon, the personal equation. Some
orchardists start with- scarcely a penny ana grauuau

petence and end without a penny. Some nmkc itlieir or
chards produce a living from the beginning and pay all
expenses. Others buy all supplies with money from home,
and are a constant expense to, papa.
There is no life Jiioro attractive to the man of culture
and rcfinmerit, than fruit raising, none that is freer or
healthier, and none that, properly conducted, is more re
munerative. It is truly the life ideal. But for this very
reason,, it has attracted more incompetents from all walks
of life that can be found in an ordinary vocation. More

knowledge or common sense than in any other legitimate
business and if a proportion fail as they have failed
in other lines as they will fail in any other hie, the oc
cupation is not to blame. . : ,
One concluson that can be drawn from Mr. Hough s
article, is that the successful producing commercial or

HARRIMAN UNIVERSITY.
(Oregon Journal.)
It would be ntthiK if the
proposed Harrirann university
could bo so locftted thnt- it
would iu a measure typify the
work of the late Mr. Harri
man. The site is to be on the
Pacific coast, and it was the
three Pacific coast stale of
Californin, Oregon and Neva
da that were the scene of his
largest railroad activities in
the far west. It was notably
in California nnd Oregon, that"
huge percentages of traffic
for bis lines originated, and it
was for destinations in these

't

that large amounts of wct- J paid, for only a percentage ot trees planted prove to be
ward tonnnge were bound. A , of the right vai'ieties, in the right soil, and have had
site to geographically typify
thcbo facts would be fitting in
locating the university.
If, at the point where- the
three states join, a site should
be undesirable, a compromise
locution close to the border
line of California and Oregon
would symbolize tho idea.
These two great states were
for years huge factors in the
life at' his enterprises. His
high appreciation of both were
tho frequent subjects of per
sonal expre&bion by the great
railroad magnate himself.- It
was in one of these states
that ho planned a summer
home, tho delights of which
were denied him by the early
shortening of his career by
death. The establishment
now of a university conven
ient to both states would per
petuate tho very preference
that must liuvo hud place in
Mr. Uarrimun's own mind. f
In this connection, the
claims of Medford as u favor
able location for the univer
sity are impressive. It is near
the border lino of what seems
to have been two of Mr. IJur
riman's fuorito states. It is
within a few miles of the Cal
ifornia line, nnd is in close
proximity to all that is de
lightful in nature. Mountttins,

the proper care and attention to escape the thousand and
one pests that have to no constantly iougni. viui a singly
croj) will oftimes pay the purchase price ..though the val
uation should be based upon the law of averages. Conclud
ing Mr. Haugh saj-s:
"One may repeat the general injunction of caution and
deliberation. Above all, one should be sure that lie is
going to like the- new country if he moves into it. The
citv man sometimes longs for the grime and crime, the
noise, hurry, bustle, confusion and" discomfort which he
has left behind. If it is in him to love the white-topped
mountans and the rushing waters they, in time, .will make
up for him that which lie has losf. They will make a bet
ter man and better citizen of him, perhaps.
"Certainly valid and certainly useful is the general
counsel for' caution in the purchase of any real estate.
Bear in mind that the bargains are not all gone this year
and will not be in the next year, in spite of the injunc,
rinn Ut lmv nt once. Take, vour time about that part of
it.- See the property on the ground; two or three visits
will be better than one. Malce up your own mma as, t
the expenses; and then, if you have nerve to multiply that
estimate uy two, you are iuum apt lv uv muy-. .
Jaws of commerce, of investment,. ofaverages, into partner
ship with you. Use horse-sense and not wild-eyed enthu
siasm. "These general words. of caution are .for the man or
limited means. For the rich man, who can do as he likes,
apple growing in the west is a pleasant occupation or
diversion ,anu as such can m jnaue to pay iu way, vwy
likely with profit additional. 'A great deal of Eastern and
Middle-Western capital has gone into the apple business
within the last few years As to its future, it seems safe
if, viewed in the light of new and possibly changing con
ditions, it can be gauged and governed by good business
principles. As to its past, the record is not one of unbroken
financial success. 'As to its present, it is the rich man's
fad, the promoter's dream and the poor man's hope." -
