Cu A large jumt-r, of local cuhiomers, BiocKnuiutuB mm employes, or me California- Oregon, Power company plan to attend the dedir0ion of the new "Copco Two" power plant next Sunday. Judging from present indl-i cations there will, be a record atten dance, from all points on the- com pany's system' which' extends as fur nouth as Cunsniuiiv Calif., and as far- north as Drain, Ore. t The- dedication, ceremony will bo unique in that it will be of brief dur ation with an, entire absence of the long-winded speeches that usually prevail on such .occasions. Tho cere mony will be of an allegorical nature and will be Hinged by Tom Swem of thlB city. James Stevens of operatic fame, will play, an important rolo -in the ceremony as well as a number of other well known local people. Following the short ceremony, a big "caferia luncheon will be served under the personal direction of Chef1 Strom, whose specialty is "ood rats." After.- everyone- has topped off an abundance of Ice cream, lemonade and other good things, the afternoon program will bo launcheud. Rand concerts by tho famous Roseburg band, tours of inspection through the big new power house and over the entire project and other itoms of. in terest will occupy the rest of the' day to good advantage until 4 p. m... the time of departure for home. This final Inspection, of the big pro ject before the: water is i actually turned in will afford an unusual op portunity for visitors to see the inside workings of this three million dollar power development, tho largest of its kind In this territory. Guests will bo personally conducted over the whole project through the two big tunnels, through the "largest wood pipe-In the world", and over the big', new diver sion dam. This will be the Inst chance to take a trip of this nature over the job before, the water is turned in. Two- moving- picture cameras will record the events of interest through out the day's program and thoso who are inclined toward tho silent fframa will have a good .opportunity to "do their stuff.". The roads to Copco n re said to be In excellent condition and will ufford a pleasant three hours drivo from this city, the latter part of which is over the scenic Siskiyous and aiong the - picturesque Klamath river. Directions for reaching Copco from here are-as follows: Take Pacific highway, to Hornbrook. From Horn brook to Copco, a distance of 16 miles the roads are clearly marked with special signs in order to eliminate any confusion aH to tho proper route to take. v-XMitny local parties plan to leave Sunday, morning , as; early as 7:30 to 8:30 a. m. Mrs. Betty Blevens and Miss Peggy Smith of Venice, Calif., passed thru the city this morning on the return of a long hike from that city to The recent hot weather did not af fect the fruit and other crops mate rially, on ncrg'int of soil moisture con ditions, and tne aunllty of Roguo val ley pear crop promises to be the best in its history, while there will prob- jSeattle,. Wash. The young ladles left ably be fine crops of oUier fruits, and j Venice, Tuesday, Juno 23. and - nr grains and hay. rived the following Sunday in Seattle, The above facts were gleaned from a distance exceeding 1200 miles a size up yesterday of general crop! They immediately started-south as conditions in the valley by C. C. Cate soon as they arrived In that northern MURPHY CASE Will BE TRIED IN FALL The petit jury will meet Monday, July 13th, .to hoar tho cases of B. J. and Madeline Hodges, and R. and Nettle Dawson, indicted last week by the grand jury for alleged violations of the liquor and pistol-toting in autos laws; and tho cases, of R. Jones and Melborn Dunn, also accused of usso ciatlng rum with guns. . With the exception of the case of O. W. Murphy, charged with man slaughter as a result of the alleged beating of his wife April 1st, last, these are the onJy criminal matters on the calendar. The Murphy case will be heard i at the October term of court. There is some apprehension among sportsmen regarding the new law pro hibiting the carrying -of firearms in autos. The law does not affect fisher men and hunters, carrying concealed weapons Jn autos, by excepting "reg ular licensed fishermen and hunters on a fishing, or hunting trip." The law is drastic, and was aimed at boot leggers, drug peddlers, and citizens on doubtful missions., GRASS FIRES DECLINE, ONLY THREE THIS JUNE Tho city .fire department is very proud of the fact that the month of June, just passed., was, a banner month, for only seven fire alnrms were turned in, only three of which were grass fires. In comparison with the grass fires of June. 1924. it is a record. In that June 21 alarms were turned in, and with the exception of one, these were all grass fires, which had gotten out of control. The absence of the grass fires this year is due to the fact that the citi zens of - Medford have been mojo educated along this line, and the fact that permits ore necessary before any grass can bo burned. It is expected that another good record will be maintained through the coming days of July. Pre-Cooling Company Sues for Property the county .agent: "The greatest commercial crop of tho Rogue River Valley is pears,, and under normal condi tions tho valley should ship ap proximately 3,000 cars," said Mr. Cate. "This season, however, the tonnage will bo cut down to ap proximately 1,800 cars on ac count of the heavy drop this ' spring. "However, this estimate may be Increased on account of the exceptionally good soil moisture conditions, and good growth that the pears have made up to date. Some Bartletts are as large now as they have been in other years on August 1. Early picking of Bartletts will stnrt about the first of August. The. quality o the Rogue River pear crop promises to be the best in history. . "The apple crop is estimated at about 60 per cent of a normal crop, and .the tonnage will be probably around 300 cars. New towiiB are the- principal variety, nnd are doing nicely, with excep tionally good size at the present time. Apple thinning is practi cally over, and the fruit is consid ered quite free from codlin, moth at this time of the year. With proper spraying, there should not bo a great loss from codlin moth in this district. "The cherry crop will be practi cally over by the fifth of July, , and although the cherries did not come up to size this . year, the quantity and quality was very good. We are shipping out about 80' per cent of a normal crop In the Ashland district. Prospects for a-good peach crop in- the southern part of the county are very good at this time. The fruit shows exceptionally good quality, and very little di sease compared, with other years as spraying was more general, and more- attention given the peach orchards. "Tho hot weather has been of benefit to corn, but has had a tendency 'to ripen up wheat and barley. However, the. wheat ' and bnrlcy were; well Beaded be fore tho hot woather and : very little shrinkage will., occur' on this account: Some grain is being hnrvested and exception ally good yields are expected "Tho second crop, of alfalfa hay Is comfei'g on. and is much better than the first. With good weather conditions for harvest ing the second crop, it will be mostly number one hay. "Thore has been plenty of 1 irrigation water, and, rcrops ;havo not, suffered .for lack. Of water. city, nnd this morning had covered the five hundred miles distance from there when they arrived in Medford. and they expect to be in Venice be fore next Saturday.' The young ladles wear natty hiking costumes, nnd wero a bit bronzed by the rays of the sun. but notwithstand ing the latter they were most enthusi astic about their trip. Next year they are planning to hike to New York city. It was only due to the fact this year was so far advanced that they did not make the trip at the present time. They were very much impressed with the Rogue River valley, its scen ery and Its climate. -Mrs. Bcvens was so impressed that she declared to several Medford citi zens, who were nearby, "If 1 had ten acres in- California I would trade it for a half aero in southern Oregon, believe me." The two young ladles, who stopped Just long enough in the city to refresh l.emselves, readjusted tho packs on their backs, and with long nod steady strides began the last lap of their long Journey to Venice, hopeful that the passing motorist would be as good to them as he had been heretofore. -J S.
