RED TRIANGLE BRAND.
WATCH for tho "Rod Triangle" brand oC Roguo River
pears. They arc guaranteed tho best over.
Tho "Rod Triangle" is the trademark of tho Rogue
River Fruit and Produce association. Everything in the
lino of fruit bearing this label is the finest that grows.
Every box packed under the "Red Triangle" is abso
lutely guaranteed for flavor and keeping quality, and
notices to this effect, asking that complaints, if found,
be registered, are placed in every box.
This is the first year that a systematic effort to grade
and pack all local fruit has been attempted. As a result,
for the first time, Rogue River fruit will have the stand
ard of perfection that has madelTood River apples famous.!
There will be no comparison between the Sacramento
river and Suisun pears that have flooded the eastern mar
kets small, green aud undesirable, and tho "Red Trian
gle" brand, strictly fancy, full sized aud colored.
For five jears Rogue River pears, marketed under a
score of packs and a belter skelter grading, have command
ed tho highest prices m the markets of tho east. ltli
every box especially guaranteed as to pack and quality,
they will maintain their previous record and surpass it.
The Rogue River valley grows the most perfect pear
in the world. Now that the perfect fruit is given a per
fect grading and a perfect pack, it will be in a class by
itself always in demand at fancy prices.

A SAN FRANCISCO dispatch says:
"Interstate Commerce Commissioner Lane will
come to this city August 30 to begin a hearing on tho ap
plication ot the Southern Pacitic for roller trom the law
which forbids the charging of a higher rate ior a short
than a lone haul, or a tliroiisrh rate creator than tho total
bf the intermediate rates. The complaint of the railroad
is m connection with the operation of trains over the Sis
kiyou mountains, the cost of which, it avers, is excep
tionally high.
"For through rates, the Southern Pacific wants to
treat its line between San Francisco and Portland as two
separate and distinct roads, connecting at the summit,
each entitled to charge the maximum for traveling on
through trains, the maximum being higher for the passen
ger or freight shipment moving over the mountains than
the sum of local fares from Portland to the summit, and
thence from the summit to San Francisco."
In other words, the Southern Pacific would maintain
its present system of discrimination against southern Ore
gon, and exempt this section from the ruling made by the
interstate commerce commission in the Spokane and Reno
cases.
In the' hearing of the Bedford complaint before the
interstate commerce commission last winter this subject
was thoroughly gone into, the cost of operating this line
of railroad set forth as an excuse for discrimination, and
all matters connected therewith.
The Medford Traffic bureau answered every argu
ment put forth by the railroad and showed the profit reap
ed by this line, and it is exceedingly doubtful if the com
mission seriously considers the railroad s request, as it is
not in the habit of permitting discriminations against cer
tain localities.

T ODORS AND MOISTURE. "
A tehsms That Is Said to Irnprovs ths
Ssnss of Smsll.
k The most striking fact connected
with ray school career," said the prep
school graduate, "was a peculiar abil
ity ob the part of our commandant to
detect the faintest cdor of smoke In
a room on his daily inspection. The
school I attended was of the military
variety, and smoking was a rather se
rious offense. No maltor bow much n
room bad been aired or fanned witb
wet towels previous to the Inxpectlon.
the offender was always caught.
"After I bnd received my finishing
touches and become a citizen 1 mnde
so bold as to inquire from what pe
culiar dispensation of providence the
ability was Given to detect odp mole
cule of smoke in n hundred cubic feet
of pure air. Tbo old boy smiled and.
binding me to secrecy, Imparted the
reason of his wonderful ability. Then
be took me to a boy's vacated room
and told me to wet my finger and rub
my nostrils with it and sniff. Lo and
behold, where before there seemed
no taint in the atmosphere was now
detected that smell of old tobacco
smoke! Since then I havo taught
school myself and have used the trick
occasionally, entirely for experimental
purposes, however.
"I bare also sought tbo scientific ex
planation, but with little success. It
may, however, be somewhat analogous
to the process of tasting. You know,
It is Imposslblo to tasto anything that
Is not dissolved In water or Is not a
liquid Itsolf. 8o the moisture on the
nostrils must carry tho small particles
of smoke In a more or less damp state
to the olfactory nervo ends and thus
make the smell moro apparent At
least this Is the only explanation I
have erer found for the phenomenon.
"The aame thing can also be used
for detecting other odors, and I have
found it useful on a number ot occa
sions for this purposo, both in analyti
cal chemistry, when only a small par
ticle of a certain material la available
for analysis, and In detecting faint per
fume from flowers that are ordinarily
quit odorless." Chicago Hecord-Her-aid.
The peoplo of this city should buy
"Made In Oregon" goods from the
local merchants wbenevor the price
and quality tire equal to Eastern
made goods.
MONEY NOT TO BE SPENT.
(Continued from Page 1.)
patchwork, but no real roads.
Build Trunk Lines.
"During the present year the coun
ty hns spent about $100,000 for roads
and this included about $30,000
spent for new machinery. If, instead
of patching up roads as we have
been doing in the past, the county
had at its command the substantial
su masked for, then work would be
at once started on a trunk line ex
tending through the valley from one
end of the county to the other. This
would he followed by the necessnry
diverging roads. The proposed sys
tem of roads will be laid before the
people for their consideration prior
to the coming election. If they vote
to build these roads then nt the end
of a decade the county will have this
system of highways so permanently
constructed that little repair work
will be necessary and the expenbe
of maintenance will he small."
It having reached Judge NeilV
ears thut the peoplo are afraid that
lliev would be slighted in the roud
building, he said:
"I don't know why this opinion
should prevail. I wna raised near
Abiiiana ana ior many years my
homo was there. Theintorests of
Ashland uud vicinity are always
among the first to bo considered by
mo and the county court can assure
Ashland and other sections of u
square deal.
Let Posterity Aid.
"In considering the expense of this
project, we believe there arc several
points which should be considered.
At tho present time the county is free
from bonded indebtpdness, the only
debt bcink that of about .$300,000
in warrants which have not been
paid. It is my belief that nt the end
of 20 years the county will have 10
times its present population and
property will have increased in vuluo
accordingly, so that the debt thut
looks big to tho tuxpuycrs of today
will bo much less of a burden to
thoso who will bo paying it when the
principal becomes due. Wo also
think it is worth considering thut just
as fast as this money is spent for
good roads the value of farm lands
throughout the county will increase
much more than tho amount of tho
investment in fonds. The actual bur
den of this bond issue would hns
not fall upon the county as we see
it today but upon the larger and
richer county of the future. And it
is the good roads that will be the
most powerful agency in bringing
more people here.
Harmon .Making I toad Map.
"However ,as I snid before n more
detailed statement addressed to the
taxpayers of the county is now be
ing prepared and will he published
soon."
County Engineer Harmon stntes
that he is of the opinion that the
proposed commission to bo made up
of three or more members represent
ing the different sections of the
county should superviso the construc
tion of the roads nnd the expenditure
of the funds. He said he'd seen
many pluns tried bat that it was the
most satisfactory.
"I am now preparing a map show
ing the proposed system of roads,"
said Mr. Harmon. "The nlnn is to
sell about $200,000 or $300,000 worth
of the bonds each year an dthus
complete the road system in five or
six years."
