Itoguo Ither Heats All
For tho man who hns to llyo lu thn

spot that will compare with the
Itoguo rher tulloy tor comfort. One
able to iiinlr.talu a home immediately

ono at Itedlandu, Itheruldo or l'usa
dena In winter, may find as much
comfort thcro as here, but wo cunnot
find it on the beach In winter or
back rrom the beach In Hummer.
The only rerson Southern Califor
nia is the tourist Mecca Instead of
Southern Oregon Is that It has In
tensely developed ltn every resource
and capitalized them, while mobt ol
our hare been neglected.
There, whst uature rails to do, men
do by rt, here, where nature Is
most lavldh wo have most neglected.
Had Southern California such an
attraction as our Crator Lake but
ninety miles from the center of population-
think you It would havo been
left Isolated ror fifty years with lt
wonder unknown No thoso peo
ple long ago would have constructed
a paved highway to It. They would
hove bound it to themselvcH wltli

would have niado It no caMly accos

Wo are to have next fall the meet

organization und make tho meeting

zation, W. I. Viiviior on Oonditliui
The best thing tuut can be e;ild
about tho fruit industry Is tho high
class of citizenship it has brought to
tho valley the splendid young won
who hnvo come to make their way In
this district. For the last threo or
four years tho bankers ot the mlddlo
west hnvo dono all they could to dis
credit tho fruit industry. Hetwcon
now nnd 1020 we must produce 10.
000 cars of fruit and tho question ot
distribution will confront ua. This
marketing problem must bo solved.
Tho day or speculation has passed.
Tho value- or orchards has como down
to a biiHlnesB llko basis. Tho fruit
business la good. It Btiould not bo
mlBreirusoutod. Wo cnu tell tho
truth, -and I cunmdvr It n rnlstako

The cunning Industry In thn moat
Important manufacturing Industry In

Ah a natural accompaniment or this
wo must have a cannery.
The cannery assures tho orclm-d
man a doubly market for IiIh fruit.
It also pcrmltH him to ralie a variety
of fruit, because a cannery makes a
lout; shipment posslblo. This Is a
rtrr bent on tbo market. A promln-
ent fruit man said this year ho would
make a contract for 10 yearn at $100
a ton for Itoal Anne cherries. Kvory
orchard In th valley should have Its
cherry trees ror It aids In polllnlzlns
and Is a paying crop. The cherry ban
been neglected, the apricot has also
been neglected.
We grow a prach here which 's
unexcelled anywhere. I believe It Is
superior to anything srown In Cali
fornia. Thn peach as an orchard ni
ter is a valuable asset In this valley.
The Rogue river pear xcels any
thing In the world and canned pears,
will achieve the sarao reputation. Hut
I think the main by-product of tho
orchard should be tkt bog fed on cull
apples. I
l ueueve ina canning iiiuumry ia
this valley Is here to stay and ban a
great possibility. All I wish now Is n
greater home consumption tor those
products which we can't get out of
the valley profitably. Wlicn we get
together this will come through co
operation. Dunbar Corpatrr on Charters
What I say has no bearing on your
present situation. If jrou draw any
morals on my generalization It la your
moralizing not my ctturtlon.
When the water devastated Galves
ton a new form of city government
arose to moot that crisis. Tho city
appointed five of thu ablest business
men to tako orar tho business of tbo
city, and tiny made such a success
that tho system was permanently
adopted. Since then over 300 cities
havo adopted this system. Mst year
Dayton, Ohio, was devastated and tho
regularly elected officials woro un
able to cope with tho situation, so
they followed Galveston's cxamplo
but with some interesting alterations.
They chore a commission which In
turn cbo a city manager to take
thf, r0pujaco. So they left this to the
commission.
