With an average- of fiO, carloads
of I tur tie tt pears being shipped
from Medford daily by the South
ern Pacific the Rogue River val
ley fruit season is In full awing.
Eighty-two cars were sent out

of the 400 carloads Already ship
ped this season hao gone to east

New York. Boston and .other parts.
A few were for foreign export pur
poses. '
Besldps the pears which are
shipped immediately alter they
leave the local packing plants
many ure being stored at the Med-
ford Ice and Storage headquarters
on Fir street.
It Is estimated by Jack Curio,
freight and passenger agent for
the - Southern Pacific, that there
will' be a total of 3000 carloads of
pears shipped from the Medford
station by the end of the season
which will probably be October 10.
If this amount Is realized it will
be.un increase of nearly 1000 cars
over the number sent from here,
last season. Each car has a ca
pacity of 520 boxes and pears ad
infinitum.
Most of the freight force are
, working overtime during the pres
. ent rush of fruit from both pack
ing plants ami canneries. Next
week 'the llartletts will have been
harvested and Ho we Us and Uoscs

MONSTER SIZE OF
W00LW0RTH BLDG. IS
FOUND BY
PEKING, Auk. 16. (P) The
heatlhones of a prehistoric mon
ster unearthed by Roy Chapman
Andrews at the southern edge of
the Gobi desert, Mongol, today
were described by him'Sis indi
cating the existence of a colossal
unimal "about the size of the Wool
worth building if the building were
in a horizontal position."
(The Woolworth building in New
York City, is 792 feet high.)
Dr. Andrews who is the leader
of . the fourth central Asia.tic ex
pedition, said:
' "This was bur biggest strike
one' of the most "Interesting: finds
ever- made. This entire area is
rich in fossils. We found a mon
ster in the same area In 1925. The
saddle shaped headed creature dis
covered on this expedition is bc
' lleved perhaps to he the great
randfather of the "25 monster."
The bead is very t,.,,ad and a
peculiar feature is that its nose
narrows in the middle and grad
ually broadens toward the nostrils.
Dr. Andrews said he was more
than satisfied with his discoveries.
He considered his finds vied with
his finding of dinosaur eggs in
1923.
The explorer said his discoveries
included lots of baluchlterium fos
sils and also several splendid
skulls of a new type of nasal horn
ed tltanotberiidae, quite different
from any North American tltan
otberiidae. The collection of fossils fills 80
cases. It was brought intact to
Peking in automobiles although the
expedition encountered floods be
tween Knlgan and Peking against
which thoy battled for twenty
hours to save themselves and their
relic. The journey from Kalgan
to Peking required four days.
Half or the expedition returned
earlier than they had expected
owing to the intense heat of the
desert which exploded several
. cases of gasoline causing a short
age of fuel.
The baluchltherlum was a mon
ster quadruped of prehistoric times
.related to the rhinoceros. Fossil
remains of the animal were dis
covered in the Gobi desert, Tial
uchistan, in 1922 and indicate that
It stood about 10 feet high and
was 15 feet lonr.
Tltanotherildae were a tertiary
family of hoofed mammals.
