NEED OF VALLEY To tho Editor: What In tlio mil! lor Willi tlio fruit business? We have boon asked tills Question ninny Union in the lust few yearn, and wo wish to Buy hero Hint thoro is notlilmc t lie manor with the business except the way It is belli!; handled. .Vo business ran bo carried on suc cessfully the way tlin fruit business is liandlod. The- only way t lie fruit business can lie untile to pay the grower, Ik to j:i-t on it cash sale liasl.-t, the same us the wheat farmer, tli" i-nttlo ral.-er, the wool grower, or the growers of most other products tin business. Why should the fruit grower he nt the nierey of the romiiiisitioii firms, there is no rea::on in the world except tltitt be seems to fall for their smooth talli and iiromlses of bin prices, which seldom, If over, are realized. ' Kvory few days we see, in the pa pers, that soiee ulir coinnilaulon firm has located a branch bouso In the valley, uutl what Brent benefit the growers are roIiik to receive, by their locating here. They canvass tlio coun try nml deceive the growers by prom ises of fabulous prices which they aro unablo to get through their con nection in the different markets, and nfter they hiivo Induced tho growers to glvo them their fruit one year on consignment or by giving a small ud vaneo or guarantee, they find a lot of dissatisfaction among the grow ers. They will change tho inline of the concern, or change managers, and come out tho next year with a lot or new- promises w hich usually turn out 0 tho detriment of the grower. They are able ninny times to keep the growers rroui selling their frull nt good prices by telling them they will get more If they w ill consign. What tho fruit growers want In tlio Itogue river valley is the cash buyer who conies to buy what fruit his house can use ami pays cash lor it W hen loaded. Tlio way to get these buyers Is to sell your fruit at tho market price and ho willing thai the haver make a legltiuialo profit. Wo hopo that the growers will soon come to sou 1 1 mi I It is to their Interests to do a strictly cash busi ness, oven though the price some years seems low and the market. In bud condition. There is all II tore reason why they should not consign, for whim the market is hail wo ran not hope to get aiivihlnn by consign ing. limit try to rune the buyer (o lake a lot of Inferior fruit to get a little good rrult.

A counties to restore to taxation the lands in the O. fc C land grant, decided forfeited to the I'nited States by the federal supreme court. if the legislature ,-aii make I'm lo Sam pay taxes, it is doing more than any other state has ever done. .More over, tin; Oregon enabling act contains the following clause: "The said state of Oregon shall never tax land, the property of tlio United States, in said state." There is no tpiest'ion hut that the delay occasioned by litigation over the land grant is costly to the' state and detrimental to the counties. An appropriat ion was made I iy the act ol .litiio !), I!)l(, by inese hack' taxes ley the government, and f l,h(K),(K)lJ set aside for it hut the money has not been paid. The taxes were ordered paid because they were a lien upon the land while held in private ownership. Payment of tho taxes will relieve the land. The lands are not now on the tax rolls and the taxable resources of the state have suffered it depreciation of .tJ,r()0,(M!() and an annual loss of taxes amounting to $150,000 a severe loss to the counties affected, among them -Jackson, with as yet no compensating gain through sett lenient or sale. Tlie legislature claims that, the federal government, has no right to arbitrarily override the state's power of tax ation after it was once granted, while the government holds that no slate can tax federal property. The state will have to establish its claim in the courts and if it succeeds, the action of the legislature will he fully justified. Statements are printed today declaring that the evan gelical churches do not use fermented wine, but im fer mented. The Mail Tribune did not say they did, but niorelv pointed out that, the bone dry law, sponsored and drafted by these churches, contained an exception permitting anv pastor or priest to import liquor for sacramental, purposes, and that such an exception was inconsistent and hvno- . rincai an tiio more so lr jermonteel liquor is not used Such a provision as that contained in the proposed prohi- latum law tor the District .importation of five gallons twenty days, is the height of VERY WISELY SAID "When Ignorance is bliss, it Is folly to lie wise." Hut what aro you fellows going to do v ho have had wisdom forced on you? Von know that when a cow o:' horse gen sick you take a long not i bottle, slick it down their neck and hold their nose ami down It goes, but so many people aro like a glralt'e, so much neck, you liavo to use a garden hoso to get the dope where its belongs. You have hanging in your bed room that dear old motto, "Hod ltless Our Home," and you work overtime raising holl ahout a burnt flap Jack. You preach tho gospel of keep tho business nt nomo and then hum midnight oil writing lotteiB and orders to Chicago mall order houses. You will raise tlio Stars nud Sn ipes over that happy home of yours and sweur nt every thing tho president and bis congress try to do, especially ir It takes money. Now listen men, you know it is not guess work (for that dose has long since reached the spoil that the lloan l'rotlucts from tho little bucket pump up lo that master machine, the tilant I Iplcx spray rig, is as far above any other power spray outfit as the giant pluo Is above the lilt tu rose tree.

The making of efficient business office workers out of promising well us unpromising .;1W material is no beginning experiment with these veteran commercial teachers. The hundreds of young men and young women now holding desirable business and office positions in prac tically all of the 1'nclflc coast cities, make a most pleasing as well as a most convincing testimonial to the high class of Instruction nml prepar atory training for business careers which these young people have re ceived nt tho hands of .Mr. anil .Mrs. Shank during thu past twenty-six years of active business and college work.

Instance of tha retail sr-jeers associa tion P'id planned to suit their con venience und the Scvi nth nay Adven tlsts. Now everybody knows or havo had an opportunity lo know that these 'wo bodies of people were very active in tho state campaign to de feat the Sunday law; Ihat then exist ed though each society acted from different motives and were in no,. way affiliated in their campaign' work. Now would it he consistent to think that these two societies would com bine to put another Sunday law, only or a more deceptive nature back on the statute books before the ink that erased the old blue law was eold. Tho facts arc that these two so cieties Instead of working with Hep resentatlvo (lore on his Sunday blue luw bill, each society sent p. represen tative niau to oppose the bill as the records will show that C, E. Monroe, Portland president of the Retail Gro ins' association and Dr. 11, O. Thurs ton f the Seventh Day Adventist church. Therefore could either of these soe'eties have been thn Instiga tors or promoters 6r this hill. It seems to mo Ihat the public should he properly informed why each of these societies have opposed these bills. ;. c TAIIOf!. Ashland. Feb. 1.'..
