ford, in which he declares that the Pacific northwest is
losing its supremacy in fruit production, that our apples
and pears are inferior to those of the east, that w.e cannot
compete and are losing out. lie slams Medford. as a
busted boom town, but his, wail of calamity begins at Pali
sades, Colo., and includes the entire western country.
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

The leading- cnneVlnte for the nro

is one of his closest friends nnd po
litical advisers. Johnson is n Kooo

lie began his political career with a
Itoosovclt endorsement, and with tho
announcement that he wns inspired

Johnson's first politienl fijjht wns
for the office of governor of Cali

"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

Previous lo this time Johnson wns

As governor, Johnson mntlo good

practically all Jiis recommendations

descrlbos mo ns favoring a petition
which has been In circulation for the
past few tin) 8. I know absolutely
nothing of this petition or whnt It
contained until Its presentation bo
foro tho council Tuesday night.
Anyono who enros to liivostlgnto
can find out from tho records that in
April 1914 the council mndo nn at
tempt to compel tho delinquents to
pay up, proceeding according to tho
law, tho property was put on tho Hen
dockot nnd delinquent certificates
wero advertised for sale. Only a few
certificates were sold, about $000.00
worth. Aftor Investigation by purch
asers they i of lined to buy any more
Tho remaining certificates aro still
being offered for salo to nny one who
wMies to purehMe.
Now tho time has come when wo
nro compelled by law to provldo for
payment of Interest. To delay longer
will endangor a defnult by tho city,
for the budget must bo mado up now,
hence wo have no alternative and In
I roof of this I hero quote you tho law
concerning enme, as It stands In our
city charter, pngo ID, chapter 7.
Taxntlon. Section CIS, "As amended
I b the vote of tho peoplo at a special
election held August 2, 1910."
Tho people of Medford do ordain
