Wlmt Is the befit jmyinjr crop in tlio l'neifio liorlliwcstt Home pay nppU.", while olliors Blroiiftlv assert that tlio penr is tlio peer of nil po fnr ns profits per ncro nrc concerned. Itrpnnhl II. Parsons, owner of tlio famous llillcrcsi orchnrilt near Mpdfonl, nnil by tlio way, directing bend of tbe Northwestern Fruit Kx pliano or this oily, HlrotiRly nsserls that pears nro tlio thing or, in fact, tlio profit. His orchard con sists of ICO ncrea of about ns fine fruit an is crown in the country, and bo has received the returns to provo One. ITU holdings of pears inelndo eighty-five acres, the re maining nrca being planted to ap ples nml other fntits. While the lingua River country, of which tho milcrosl orchards is n part, has received the highest awards in the world for the cscel lcnco of its Yellow Ncwtowns and Spitxcnbcrgs, still it is partial to the penr-in fact, its greatest glory as n fruit center hns been received by tho latter crop. Tho enliro Rogue River country is destined to become two huge penr orchnrd in the fu ture, and it is already counting its profits. Mr. Parsons, owner of tho Hill crcst orchards returned to Port land todny after an insjeclion of h's orchard. "Tho crop of pears in tlio lingua River country will thw yenr show nn increnso of 25 to GO ptr cent over n year ago," Fcays Mr. Parsons, "whilo tho incrensc in tho output of apples will bo from 20 to 40 per cent. "Thero is nn increnso of probab ly HO per cent in tho benring area of pears this season and about 10 par cent over n year ago," says into penr raising in tho Rogue River country for two reasons the soil is particularly adapted to its growth nnd there is n greater profit in it. YVio plant about seventy-five pear trees to the acre and only about sixty npplo trees, because the for mer docs not grow so big. While it is true that tho average apple tree will produce more fruit than a ,var tree, the greater number of tho lat ter nlnntcd to tbe acre more than makes up for thw loss. "Then the production of cnr js much moro certain than apples. Whilo the apple tree sometime pro duces n bigger crop tbnn docs (he pear, still tho average is far beilcr in tho latter. Then again the pear brings more money in tho market, is easier gathered and is moro free from diKcnsc than the apple. "Rogue River is today tho most famous penr section in the countr' nnd its merits will increase fnun year to year. Wo have had excel lent growing weather recently over two nnd one-half inches of rain fall ing during July. The outlook is cot only for a good crop of pears, bat largo nires and most excellent quality." DESTROYING SEALS UN DYNAMITE I TILLAMOOK", Or., Aug. fi.

HISTORIC REVIEW IS BIG SHOW FEATURE "Apacho Kid," tho notorious out law, and other reckless border bail' dita of Ids kind, no longer hold up tho Deadwood coach, command driver and passcuKem to hold up their hands under piyially of being riddled with bullets, and then ride nvny on their fleet footed ponies loaded with plunder. From a dramatic as well ns aa his tarlc standpoint, however, tho Dead wood stage coach holdup holds a tan clnating Interest to tho public of theso more profile days, and the reproduce tlon of one of thoo thrilling events In the performance of the Oklahoma Itanch Wild West, which exhibits In Medford, Wednesday, August 13, Is said to creato a sensation. ' For tho purpoxo of the drama, It hi announced, a genuine old-tlmo Dead wood staco has been secured. Tho driver Is ono of tho original Wells Fargo messengers, who, In the lan guage of his time, would "rather fight than cat."

There Is a short, sharp ex change of shots; thotso of tho bandits who do not fall nro captured, another driver Is substituted, and escorted by tho sheriff und his posse, with the prisoner hold at tho ends of tho rid ers lariats, the coach starts on U long Journey again. This Is not tho reproduction of a figment of tho Im agination, but It Is declared to bo uu actual representation of a scono en acted hundreds of times In tho old days ou tho plains.
