It will be more beautiful GREATEST PEAR IT With the greatest pear crop In the Rogue River valley's history In sight unless something unforaeen occurs tbe orcbardlsts and business men of the city and valley are rejoicing that this vicinity weathered the cold and frost threatening period early In the week and came back to normal weath er without suffering a damaging frost. The Yakima valley and Hood River sections did not so escape, especially the former, which suffered killing frosts. The Yakima section last Sun day, Monday and Tuesday nights and mornings suffered a temperature of from 13 to 20 degrees which means much damage to the commercial crop. In the colder parts of .the Yakima valley all unfired t non-smudging) orchards suffered a loss of 40 per cent of a pear crop, and from 40 to 90 per cent of the apple blossoms were killed. Including those blossoms not opened enough yet to show color. This Is Interesting In view of the fact that some local orcharding claim that such apple blossoms can stand almost any amount of frost without damage, despite the fact that Floyd Young, tho frost expert, and County Agent Cate have discovered here and there In times pant some such npp'.o blossom injured by frost. The above figures on the Yakima damage by frost are obtained from Mr. Young, who Is in charge of the government frost protection work In 'tho Pacific coast mates, and who Is kept In touch with the Yakima sec tion through his assistant stationed there. , " A stated before the Rogue River valley pear crop promises to be a. huge record breaker, on account of the heavy set, the curly and late mois ture In the ground and the fact that so far there has been no frost damago or blight or other trouble. If that crop ., matures according to present prospect and good (prices are ob tained, the prosperity of the valley for the next year is Insured. .Then the followjng year the Medford Irri gation system will bo In full working order. The apple crop of tho Rosue River valley, however, will be short, as there Is a light bloom caused by the great crop of last year. Uut the frost danger period Is not over yet, and Messrs' Cute and Young think that this period will last until Juno 1st this year because of the backward spring. In recent years tbe worst frost dumage to the com mercial poor and other crops was suf fered May 11, with a temperature of 28 (degrees, and May 12, 1916, with 29 degrees. In Medford. This meant a temperature of four or five degrees lower In the lower parts of the val ley. On May 21, 1918, a bad frost was suffered at 30 degrees In Medford, and on May 24 and 25, the same year, damage was done with u temperature of 31 degrooa. NOW IN PROSPEC women.

This sentence was handed down following the consideration of, a petition' for leniency presented to the court signed by a number of cltl zena of Jackson county. The court in granting the parole to Illnes. said that he had given the matter deep consideration for the past week, and that many Influential and prominent people had come to him, and urged that leniency be shown, because they felt "you are honest." The court further stated that "he felt Hines, had a future, and that a prison term would work a hardship in excess of the crime. The court said he felt Hines would justify the confidence shown in hlin and the de fendant who was visibly affected, said he would give his beat efforts In, the future.

Comiskey of the CM cago American league White Box re gards the recent legal action of Oscar ("Happy") Fetoch concerning the 1 J 7 baseball season as unworthy' of any consideration whatever. In a statement given to local newspaper men at his summer home in Eagle River, Wis., the veteran magnate aald: "I consider the Felsch charges too ridiculous to answer as he la a ball player in bad standing and unworthy of any con sideration whatever." Mr. Comiskey will return to Chi cago Sunday, he said. Meanwhile in Milwaukee his at torney. George B. Hudnall opposed the move of Felsch's counsel seeking before Judge John J. Gregory In cir cuit court today an order forcing Comiskey to produce the books and records of his club to determine back pay. bonus and damages for forcing Felsch out of organized baseball.

George Makes Final Appeal. GENOA, May 13. Mr. Uoyt George aald a break up of the con ference would send the Kusslann home to a great population In tho grip of famine and pestilence, who would fear that the doors of hope had been shut upon them with a clang. Nobody could doubt, he aald. that fierce resentment would ensue, which would menace not only Rus sia's neighbors, but the peace of tbu entire world. He proposed a truce on the basts of existing frontiers leaving a final settlement of the frontier question, until the commission had finished It work and definite treaties could b'j signed. lie emphasized that It was essen tial, above everything else that th.: Russians must be represented on the proposed commissions, otherwise the meetings would be merely a repeti tion of the meeting of the experts oi the Inviting powers, which had pro duced the London memorandum and this would b a waste of time.'

M.

This conflict of opinion gave rise to the serious doubts , as to whether the two positions were susceptible ot reconciliation. Disagreement by France and Bel gium with other countries regarding the treatment of the soviet delegation Is not a reason for dropping out, how ever, so long aa there remains other important questions to dtBcnss, It was declared. Instructions were sent along these lines to M. Barthou, head of the French delegation at Genoa, after the receipt ot yesterday's dis patches, It waa added. PARIS, May 13. -(By the Asso ciated Press.) The French delega tion will remain at Genoa to take part lu deliberations on other questions properly before the conference al though It will have nothing more to do with discussion of the Rusalans, it was said at the foreign office thi morning.
