December 13: Apples Itarrcllcd stock during the pnt week hns been in light sup ply, only some 3000 barrels coining forward, with the exception of the cargo of Xova Scotian fruit ex s. ft ' Shenandoah, sonic small por tion of which was discharged in time for FridayV auctions. Hosed apples continue to arrive freely, about 32,000 hnvini come fonvnrd during the week. The price for Oregon Xewtowns remain steady nt from 9s to 10s for the large fruit mid up to 33s 0d for the medium and smaller sized fruit. While we do not anticipate an ad vance on these figures for the pres ent, in view of the quantities which arc coming forwnrd, wo think the market will maintain its level. Winter Xelis pears are steady at from 12s to 33s per eae, und we are looking for still better prices for those in the near future. London, therefore, ir a good all round market, both for bnrrol and box stocks, mid should remain so for some time ahead. IJverpool. This market is well suppliod with barrel apples compar ed with London, ami prices maintain their level, the market being especi ally strong on Greenings and Albe marles.

Neither is as laryre as eustonmrv 1 ft l k t ft. neither carries the usual would indicate that times metropolis as iturini; recent years. One thing, however, forcibly impresses the interested observer scanning these metropolitan annuals ami that is that the principal industry in Portland is building sky scrapers. How these skyscrapers are to be kept tenanted we are not informed. Nine-tenths of the annual's space is taken up exploiting the greatness of Portland- and the one-tenth balance is "devoted to Oregon, which must sup port tho overgrown iuctroolis. The Oregonian trumpets abroad that $0,000,000 have boon invested in Portland skyscrapers during the past four years. Ton millions more have been expended in street railway extensions. .But the Oregonian does not enlighten the world as to how much Portland capital has been expended in developing Oregon or how many mil lions have been invested by Portland in building railroads over the state because there have been ho such expendi tures at id no such investments. Portland could have got along vorv well with l().000. 000 of new skyscrapers. I f the other .f 10.000.000 had been invested in railroads, the state, would now be grid ironed with them, its development stimulated as if by magic, its population noarlv doubled and there would be the re sources and wealth essential to support such a city as .Portland ami the metropolis would not be hieing depres sion due to overbuilding and inflation. Portland has ever been the child of fortune. It has grown almost without effort on its own part forced by geographical advantages. Its eyes have ever been upon itself. It has strangled the development of the state by discriminatory freight rates to build up a large center without much body to feed it. Its state development work consisted in expending a few hundred dollars a year in advertising Oregon instead of financing construction enterprises- outside its own limits. Little of the capital for the railroad lines, electric systems or small town build ing has been contributed by Portland, "'nt... i :..,. i .,.,.:. .,,.1 u. ...... ...... ,..t,.... it,,. i..,..i ,.,,,.. nil null.- iiiin ,ii i i I'll, go systematically at work backwards industnallv and now two-fifths of the state's population and nearly the same amount of its wealth. What is going to sustain it 7 The time is at hand when Portland must justity its size by financing the industrial development of Oregon not by an ad in the Saturday Evening Post, but by money actually spent in development enterprises. Some eight or ten inches of the Oregonian annual are devoted to Jackson county perhaps a few more inches in the Journal not enough to do this section any good or any harm. This community is therefore left by the metropolis, along with all other communities outside tho Portland limits, to advertise and it was a realization of Alan Tribune to print and the merchants to liberally pat ronize a .Medford annual. "The Lord lielns them that help themselves," and Medford shouts loud enough to bo heard, anyway. The most an annual can do is to attract attention to the locality. This is best done by pictures. Few persons read long articles in annuals. Wherever possible, pictures with brief legends telling the story should supplant them and this has been the idea governing the make-up of the Mail Tribune's Now Year Issue. On account of lack of space, many of the articles pre pared for the New Year's issue of the Mail Tribune were crowded out. Others had to engravings intended tor use were omitted. Hie paper, originally planned for thirty-two pages, expanded into thirty-eight pages, and had time permitted, could have been made still larger. Those articles omitted will be published in this and subsequent issues TO Action will he Instituted shortly I With tlio beginning of work on the by Prosecuting Atorney Kelly nnaiiist i Pacific Highway, tho county authorl a half dozen county charges, who t,0jJ wjl R B, ,BIt have recelwd aid from tho count)' . while owning property. , ollo I husbands too lazy to support their case, a woman having land in her own I families, through hatred of work. name, for ten years bus acccntod public charity. Tho cases are mat tered all over tho county. As a ineaus of recompensing tho outlay of public money, actions will be brought to secure Judgments or procure a deed to the property' for the county. The cases havu been under Investigation for some time. Prosecuting Attorney Knlly an nounced this morning, that fewer probations would bo granted this year to bad boys, and that steps would bo taken to keep them out of pool balls, curb clt;arotto smoking, and put all Idle youths and boys to work on In school, with or without parental aid.

Ho said that he was out riding af ter his stock and bad a shepherd, pup with him, and he beard the pu.i while mid soon heard it cry as if in trouble, so riding in he found that there were two young panthers had tackled him. so ns iiick as thought ho rode into the hunch mid knocked one of them loose from I lie pup, and it ran up a tree, am: tho dog fin ally killed tho other, and there he was with a panther treed and no gun, mid it three miles to Jhe near est house where he could gel a gun, so he pulled off hjs coat, put it on a polo and placed it on llie side of the tree mid started post haste for u gun and reaching Mr. Hollcnbeak, found that he had only a 20-20, mid only two loads for it, but he started for his panther and found him where he had left him up the tree, arid with one shot brought him to the ground. About this time he began to think that probably the old mother panther might be elo-e around, so he started on a hunt for dogs that would track her up, ami finally after two days Lucius Km caid mummed to kill her about a mile from where Pert had killed the two young ones. Mr. McDonald or Trail, one of tho brothers who bought out the Johnson brothers, called for tin night Tuesday, and Wednesday look tlm train for Medford. And the same evening Miss Klsie Wright, the primary teacher in the Unite Falls school, came out on business und remained with uh until Thursduy morning, taking the train for home.
