wanting. It does not accomplish its eiid that of dotor-

"1 enjoyed every minute of the
trip. Crater Lake Is one of the most
wonderful sights I have over seen,"
said Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, last night
on her return from tho lake. "1 am
very glad to know that Congress has
recently passed nn npnroiirlnOon look
ing to tho construction of better roads
Into tho Crater Laku National park.
This wonderful thing should be made
accessible to nil tho people.
"Tho roads arj very good consid
ering tho fact that littlo monoy has
been expended on them, and tho ac
commodations aro good when one
considers that supplies have to be
brought in from a long distance.
Tho tlmo will como when all Ameri
cans will inako pilgrimages to this
wonderland for vacations and recrea
tion. When Klamath Is better
known among tho people, thero will
bo thousands or tourists here."
Mrs. Hearst and her party of four
teen house guests, arrived in this
city last night from a trip to Harrl-
man Lotlgo and Crater Lake.
Tho party will leavo hero tomor
row morning for McCIoud, from
where a special train will take them
to Mrs. Hearst's summer homo on

E CORN CROP
LESSEN MEATPRICES
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12, Hopo
for meat eatora through tho tumbling
of prices "when the frost Is on the
pumpkin," was tho optimistic state
ment handed out hero today by
"Ta'ina Jim" Wilson, secretary of
agriculture. Hero Is tho way "Tama
Jim" has it figured eut:
'"ICorn crops control meat prices.
This year's corn crop is tho third
largest iu the history of tho country,
This means tlint beef next winter Is
going to bo tho cheapest In years."
jSocretary Wilson does not bollevo
that meat will over bo as cheap as
Jt ,whs (en years ago because the
gr?lng lands have been divided up
hut' ho sava tho price of steaks and
chops Ib duo for .a big tumble this con
Winter when meat la most needed. 2
the town depended on their efforts.

To tho KMItori
1 havo your editorial of August
7th, entitled "Who's Loouciy Nowt"
I see that you nguln hnyn'miulu tho
mUtuko wldoh was mudo In l!)Qt of
Btutlng that trtlRiitud the block of
pears which Was Injured. I wish to
roltorato that I hud iituuiliitoty noth
ing to do with the Irrigation of thn
block which ou refer to Iu a former
editorial, Tho block which wna In
jured was a large block of old troop,
down near the packing house of thu
Hoar Crcuk Orchard, Tim block
which you nro now quoting, of cIrIiI
year old trees wob up near tho build
ings ami Is on entirely diffvreut soil,
of different variety, etc. You will
soo that yoi have confused tho two
blocks of penrs.
You will find for example, In your
editorial In 1J09:
"An example of somo of tholr work
Is shown In one of the prlxo orchards
nenr Medford, wIioru owner was per
suaded to turn over n block of his
greatest producers for p.xperlinentnl
ptirpoeH, ole."
You were referring at thnt tlmo to
the largo block down near tho pack
ing house which had been In bearing
for yours and which I understand,
probably produced us much fruit ns
you stnto. However you will nut lco
that you copied from Bulletin 113:
"Tho practice of Irrigating young
pear trees on either the red or gray
sticky soils Is questionable. In
somo experiments carried on with
eight year old Bnrtlettn at the Bear
Creek Orchard tho results showed no
advantage gained in olthor tho
amount or size, ote."
You wilt note thnt this referred to
young trees olght years old whereas
tho block you wero referring to was
ono which already hai produced
ovor 11,000 worth of fruit por acre.
The next tlmo I am at Medford.
If you caro to, I can nrrango to drive
you to tho Bear Creek orchard and
show you the two blocks In ques
tion so you need not confuse them
In tho futuro.
Yours very truly,
C. L LEWIS.

To the Edlior:-
In the Tribune of date August 7th,
under the heading of "Who is loouoy
now?" the .editor bns throwed an
other of his periodica! spasms where
in he takes in a great deal of terri
tory. This hue he encompasses the
Rear Crock orchards, Prof. C. I.
Lewis, mid the .writer, nil because he
simply got his wires crossed.
Justice to Prof. Lewis, in Re.tr
Creek orchards; aiiiThoMor to mynolf
makes it imperative upon uie to an
swer this editorial.
He hiiys, 4(In the summer of 10D!)
some experiments were made iu
irrigation on the Rear Creek orchards
under the direction of Prof. C. I.
Lewis which consisted iu pouring cold
well-water on Rnrtlott pear trees
winch chilled tint Irces, brought up
the lime subsoil, killed thu crop, mid
made the trees sick."
To which Prof. Leu is published n
denial iu the Tribune of May 'Jllth,
1010 mid at which time tho writer
fully exhoiiernted Prof. Lewis.
As Prof. Lewis bus now published
n bulletin wherein he makes reference
to experimental work dono by them
on Rear Creek orchards during that
year, the editor attempts to make out
a bad case by placing us both in the
"Ananias club" and winds up by
usking, "Who is looney now?" mid
wo unfiwer, Put, is.
lie seems to overlook tiio fnct that
Rear Creek orchards consists of over
two hundred acres nnd that to admit
of huvhiL' cxDcrimoiited on Roar
Crek orchards docs not make them
responsible for all that ,might have
been done Ihcrc by way of experiment.
The facts aro that thoy did experi
ment upon a goodly number of young
eight-year-old trees us stilted iu
bulletin No. WW, as referred to by
the, editor mid with results us given
in the bulletin. ' This wils on gray,
sticky soil op tho hill near the" bun
galow mid no place clso did they
carry on any experiments. Rut Iho
tract to which tho editor refers was
in black, slinky soil iu thu hoflom on
trees oer twenty yours old which he
says "had produced over $1(10(1.00
per acre" mid I will say that it did
bettor than that that year,
However, that experiment I did
myself with unsatisfactory results,
Prof. Lewis being in no way respon
sible for it, neither luivo I at any lime
or to any one laid tho responsibility
ut his door.
The effect was lo check tho growth
of the pears which wero about two
thirds or tlireo-fourJhH grown, but il
did not kill tho. fruit as slated mid
tho slnU'ineiit of Prof O'Gara recently
published thnt "thoy" now havo the
finest crop of pears oyer grown" nnd
will produca ('ton. boxes to the tree"
does not hear out tho assertion thai
"thero will probably not bo any fruit
on these trees for several years," an
