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."

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." Home of the old scouts
and frontiersmen who rldo la the
coach have actually had tho exper
ience of being hold up by bordor, ban
dits. Tho etage, drawn by four army
mules, comes dashing down tho arenn.
As it turns tho corner, on tho uccond
lap, a band of marauders dashes out
of ambush, surround the coach, shoot
tho driver, and compel tho passengers
to alight. It Is nil dono so quickly
that there U no chanco for defense.
Tho pascengers uro reliovod of their
valuables and tho safe, .containing nn
express shipment of gold Is thrown
out ii)ioii tho ground and blown open.
Juvt when It seems that the banditti
will escape with their Ill-gotten plun
dor, there Is tho sound of many horses
feet, und a bund of scouts and cow
boys, led by Col. nek Mullmll, tho
famous Oklahoma ranchman, In tho
rolo of tho sheriff, got Into tho pic
ture. 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.
