O.-Kocl- in tho puke of tltc penr market nt this linio is one of the moat exciting i)f vncntiunx. Tlio tcinpornluro of tlio tmilo rniiRes from Mood hoot to icy cold nml it's up to tlic sales mnnnjrcment to know when the puloo is nt its highest nml wheu it will hem u tho drop. To know to the frnelion of a cent vlint tlio markets thousands of miles nwny will pny for n product thev hnvo never seen, nml several weeks in nilvnnce of shipment, is n proh 1cm thnt onuses the muscles to twitch nml the hnir to lisapiear. This is tho condition of the penr trndo nt the moment. Anyone enn sell n product nt what the buyer is wwine to pivo lor it, nut it tnkes n more thorough knowledge of the sit uation nnd the desires of tho trade to nsecrtnin definitely whethey they will slnnd for nn advance of )or hnps n dime n liox. Todnv the Northwestern Fruit Kxchniigo of this city sold a big lot of caw of Iloguo Ilivcr Bartlett lcars at the extreme high wnter mark of the season to date $1.90 per box, f. o. b. shipping point, with n big cash ndvnuco to insure the shipper ngninsl non-ncccplanco of Oio fruit nftcr shipment. This price wns obtnincd only nflcr local scll- mc interests had absolutely refused to talk io the eastern trade at nil regarding pears unless something above $1.85 wns offered. To pivo the easterners an idea of the renl streimth of the siluntion nnd tho excessive demand for jienis, $2 was nsked. but some of ,tho early bidders were allowed to get in on tlio cromid floor nt $1.00. This makes nu ndvnncc of nhout -10 cents n box for pears since the present season started and the end is still obscured. The ndvnnccs made in the price of pears by the local soiling inter ests were secured in tho face of the persistent dumping of Wnshincion enr.s on tho market by other inter ests nt prices that ranged from Jfi to liO cents a box under wbnt the Portland interests were asking for the same srndo of fruit. The use. of tho Mauri while slnvo law to prosecute sueh cases as ttho Diggs-Oninineti ease is a rank abuse of the law. .Federal courts should not be called upon Tor such trials. They belong in tho state courts. The jrmm law was not intended for the -petty cases it is being invoked for, and the result will be to discredit the law. It was enacted to suppress commercialized vice, to break up the organized gangs whose business was sup plying houses of prostitution with inmates, which em ployed procurers and pauderers to delude, betray, enslave aii( sell girls into a life of shame, to smash the extensive syndicates engaged in such nelarious business. By the above, no attempt is made to excuse or palli ate the contemptible offense of Diggs and Caminolti, who deserted families for an eseapado with young girls, no matter how willing the girls were for such escapades. But, while technically the offense comes ululer the terms of the Maim law, it is not. properly a white slave case, as neither of the principals was engaged in the traffic. There aro local and state laws enough to cover such cases and punish tho culprits, but to make every violator of statutory offenses, every pettv police court offender a white slaver savors of unwarranted persecution that will, by creating sympathy for the offenders, render conviction difficult and so defeat the ends for which the law was enacted. The Diggs-Cannnctti easo has been made a hiuse eclebre because of tho prominence of one of the defend ant's father in state and national politics. It offered an occasion for n grand stand pin by a notoriety-seeking politician, for a partisan attack upon the administration by its opponents throughout the nation. Otherwise it would havo attracted no more attention than the thousand and one scandals of the poor that crowd the court dockets. White slaver is a comparatively new word and a white slave charge arouses widespread attention at a time a nation-wide crusade is in progress to stamp out tho traffic. Does anyone suppose that charges of seduc tion and adultery would awaken echoes in the halls of ......... .Q "Tr-i.

The Grants Pass Courier remarks: Jackson county has produced more murderers of defenseless does, and through the heartlessness of hunters from that county motherless fawns aro blnatlns their lives away In the Jackuon county hills. Two men have plended entity In the court of that county to mutllatlni; tho carcasses of doer Killed so that tho sex could not be determined, though thero was no denial of tho charge that tho carcasses were thoso of docs. Tho man who murdered tho doc on Savago creek in Jackson county Is still uncaucht. It is a regrctable fact that Jackson eountv, alonir with qvery other section, does produce some game law violat ors. In every flock there are some black sheep, lint it is also a fact that public sentiment in Jackson county docs not sustain tlie poachers, that they are usually convicted when caught, and it is the knowledge that a jury will con vict that prompts pleas of guilty in a majority of cases. In Josephine county, on the contrary, liiiblic sentiment fa vol's the lawbreakers. Conviction, no matter how strong the evidence, is almost impossible. The records show that poacher alter poacher, caught red-handed, pleads not guilty and is promptly acquitted by Grants Pass jurors, who have no more scruples about violating their oaths as jurors, than their witnesses have in perjuring themselves or their lawyers have in defending notorious game law violators. It was the chronic disregard of the law by Josephine fish poachers and the refusal of Josephine juries to pun ish that closed the .Rogue to commercial fishing, and that will probably close it permanently.
