While Mr. AVhistler's assertions would pass unnoticed in a region wherein He was Known, in a section where he is a stranger they are evidently worth space. Mr. Whistler always had a penchant for publicity. In deed, he did most of his fruitgrowing in the newspapei-s and before horticultural gatherings. Perhaps that is one reason why he failed to secure results as a practical, fruit grower upon one of the finest orchards the sun ever shone upon and went to peddling spray dope. J I is quiie com mon to blame the country for our own shortcomings, so it is no surprise to find Mr. Whistler knocking the fitr west in order to secure a glad hand in the far east. By way of introduction, it is staled: Mr. Whlstlor Ib Hip nun who shipped out of Medford the hlKlieat-nrlcod enr load of penrs over recolved on tlio New York market. Tho car load hrotiRht $2888, and It wuh figured out that tho entire car load wan Bold nt nn nvernRo price of fi'A cents per ponr. That Indicates the M)rt of fruit grower Mr, Wliiatler in. Many a carload of pears shipped from Medford has netted tho grower more than the car mentioned grossed Mr. Whistler, lie did not oven touch tho previous high record of the orchard he then managed, which grossed the grower $1022 f. o. b. New York. How the east is pulling it over on the west is thus described by Mr. Whistler: You'vo got .tm beaten. Wo can no loiiRer compcto with tho 10nntcrn fruit. Wo people of the Wont lmvo tmiKht you peoplo of tho Unst how to pack nnd market your fruit and you lmvo honton nn nt It. You linvo tho niarkctn rloxu to jour doom, tho mllllona of fruit eaters nro right around your orchards, while wo have to nhlp our fruit long dlntnuccs to uinrkctR. You can mine hh flun fruit nn wo can mine nnd tho flavor la better nn a ruin. On boiuo vnrletloa peculiarly adapted to the climate out thoro we can bent you, but for tho general run of Btnndnrd frultK you hnvo tho better of ufl. I do not think you folks hero will ever grow apples with tho sheen to them that ours have, but except In n vory few enses, that does not amount to much. You mnko much of (he flavor of your fruit, nnd rightfully so. An Ore gon tipple ou tho KuRtern market will not compare with tlio KuBtern npplo that Iiiim been properly rnlHod. How much of this loss ot flavor In dun to ttauHportatlon across the continent I nm not prepared to say, but I think It It a good deal. Hut, an) wny, our Kastorn markets nro rapidly going, no matter what the chuhp, and wo have got to face that situation. I am pulling out nnd coming Hast. Certainly, In my opinion, tho West can no longer compete with tho Knot In tho growing of apples, pears and peaches. "The proof of the pudding is in tne eating." The proof of tlio superiority ol northwestern iruit in llavor, color and keeping quality is not. the word ol a discredited iriut grower, but the facte that it is still selling at more per. box than the eastern product is per barrel in eastern and Euro pean markets. Northwest fruit still takes all the prizes in 11 II j j i i i iii i coinpciiuon wiiu eastern iruu ui liueruaiionai ami locai expositions. Tho northwest fruitgrowing industry, having passed through tho boom and inflation porind, through depres sion and unfavorable years, is now getting upon a business basis. Quantity production has probably eliminated, save in exceptional years, the fancy prices of former veal's. Marketing organization is being perfected. Instead of sales being confined to a few jobbers in tho larger cities, as in the past, it is becoming possible to buy northwest apples overy where at reasonable prices to the consumer and a prolil to the producer. Soil, altitude and climatic conditions give the north west a superiority of product over the east that more than overcomes the handicap of distance. And in no place in the world are natural conditions more laorane or a more OF L S.P. The leading- cnneVlnte for the nro prewjve party ircsiuVntinl nominn lion is Iltrnm W. Johnson of Cnlifor uio. Colonel lfoo-evelt, it is said, proposes to go fishing. Ileforo lie troes, he will, of emre, leave a let ter of indorsement for Johnon, who inn with linn in the last campaign n vice-presidential candidate nnd who is one of his closest friends nnd po litical advisers. Johnson is n Kooo vclt man, first, n-t nnd nil the time lie began his political career with a Itoosovclt endorsement, and with tho announcement that he wns inspired to make his fight liv the o.vntnplc of Theodora Ilooscvelt. Johnson's first politienl fijjht wns for the office of governor of Cali fornia, nnd his campaign cry wni "Kick the Southern Pacific railroad out of polities." Hiram Johnson was one of the first to follow Tom John sou's example in making an ntitomo bilc campaign. He got to the people of California. His campaign -was a reninrknhle suc cess. On this simple issue mid with out any political support, orgnnizn tion or finniicinl hnekintr he was nom inated nnd elected governor of his fctnte. Previous lo this time Johnson wns known ns tlio attorney who stepped into tho Abo lluof graft eosbs in Snn Krancisco nftcr Francis J. llenoy wns shot.

Ho was educated at the I'm ersily of Culifoniin and was admit ted to tho bar 'in 1887. As governor, Johnson mntlo good his promise to kick tho Southern Pa cific out of nolitics. The legisla ture elected with him carried out practically all Jiis recommendations nnd hehiousht about u complete rev olution in tho affairs of the state.
