The Epworth League of the

sent a superannuate program at
the church next Sunday evening
beginning at 7:30.
A minister Is superannuated at
conference, which comes as n sur
prise. He has used his meager
earnings in educating hiq children
and has made no provision for his
old age. Of course, he looks to his
children for support; but condi
tions are such in tho homes, that
he cannot make hfsi home with
them. , - f it . 'r I
Some very' nmusing'r situations
arise so that a vein of hurnor runs:
through the play, .in the midst of
the pathetic situation of the aged
minister and his wife. - ' j
. The play turns ouf'fiapplly for
the two, for his children and one
of his. former congregations pro
vide a house for thm to live in,
and a check comes from the- treas
urer of the superannuate endow
ment fund for his support..

"pOP! Where are yon?"
" "Here 1 be!." ,. !
Obadiah Evaus dropped his stock
Inged feet off the Ottoman and start
ed to lift his big frame out ot Hie
deep-sealed armchair just as Jim
appeared fro.n the hall.
"What's wanted?"
"You," answered the young man
tersely. "Let's have a talk."
"I'm agreeable," ocknowledged
Obadiah genially, sitting back in
his chair. "Well, what'll we talk
about Miss Prescott?" and the
twinkle in Ii Is eye was unmistak
able. But tbere was no !evlty in either
Jim's expression or manner.
"Ben's the liar, not Miss Prescott,"
"Miss Prescott was here this
noon "
"How come? 'Twarn't nobody
home." Obadiah asked. .
"Mr. Chase hadn't left: he brought
her here after she sprained her
ankle."
Jim strode over to tho mantel
shelf and fingered the ornaments
there. Suddenly be faced about,
propping his shoulders against the
mantel.
"Our mail got mixed," he began,
"and the fool put a letter to you In
the Prescott bo."
"Well, what of It?" questioned
Obadiah. "'Tlsn't nothing to get
wad about my mail's Innocuous.
Let's have the letter," and he ex
tended his hand.
"I haven't it"
"Didn't Miss Prescott give It to
you?" v .
"No, she lost It."
Obadlub eyed Jim through a
cloud of tobacco smoke; he was ac
customed to the latter's Irritability,
but not to bis unnatural pallor.
"Sick, son?" he asked, bonding
forward in genuine concern, to be
rebuffed Instantly by Jim's tincom
promising "No,"
"Then what In tarnation alls
you?" he demanded with some heat.
"Iialn't fussing 'cause Miss Pres
cott lost the letter; she's welcome
to all of mine."
"This," Jim spoke slowly, Im
pressively, "ihls letter was from
Commander Sinclair, and It fell Into
Miss Prescott's hands."
"So that's It."
Obadiah laid down bis pipe. "And
MIsh Prescott knows "
"Nothing." harshly. "She lost
the letter unopened."
Jim took an envelope from his
pocket and tossed It In O bad hill's
lap.
'"' Ben picked It up on the way
here from Yew Lodge and took it
to her empty "
After one comprehensive look at
the envelope, Obadiah twisted It
Into a cocked bat and threw It Into
tho fireplace.
"Haven't you anything to say?"
demanded Jim, with rising Ire.
"Don't you reallzo that letter Is
floating around somewhere, involv
Ing you" '
ato!J right there!" Seldom bad
Jim seen Oo.-.illah moved to wrath.
The look In his eves was Indica
tive ot his feelings and the young
er man paused, startled. What bad
his Incautious words provoked?
The veins in Obadlub's lean hands,
chcucbed around the arms ot bis

"Walt," as Jim made a hasty Bio
lion iu his direction. "Let ma
think. You say Miss Prescott lost
the letter between here and Yew

; "Yes," its Obadl$h naused. evi
dently, expecting ai rely. "And
wht'n the envelope was picked up
by Ue:i It was found to bo empty."
"Hold ban)," cautioned Obadiah
quickly. "Did Den llnd It amply?"
"lie declares bo found It In the
condition in which bo gave It to
Miss Prescott In my presence."
"Well." Obadiah drew In his
br-alb vmi let It out slowly, "Ben's
statement gives tho lie to Miss
Prescott."
Jim's start almost upset the
lamp.
"What do you mean?" he demand
ed harshly.
"It Ben picked up nil empty en
velope Immediately after Miss Pres
cott lost the letter, she must have
removed Its contents before that,"
retorted Obadiah dryly. "You over
look the obvious, I'm thinking, same
as Ben."
"Ben Is the liar," Jim's protest
rang out hotly, "and not Miss Pres
cott!" He sprang to his feet. "I'll
wring his neck."
"Co to It!" exclntmed Obadiah
with whole-hearted encouragement.
Jim protested, rising to his feet.
"Den's been courting trouble for
some time, snooping around where
he oughtn't to be. Stop a minute,"
and Jim, already at the door, paused
reluctantly. "If Den has the letter.
Well and good, get it: If not," he
hesitated, stroking his chin with
cold flngers, "It'll be time to reckon
with Miss. Prescott."
Jim swung back, his eyes blaz
ing: "No threats "
Obadiah regarded him stead
fastly. It I'm not here when you get
back, don't wait up for me," and
so saying, tho farmer, ignoring the
other's presence, took up the Litch
field Inquirer and holding it spread
out before his face, proceeded to
peruse the editorial page.
But Obadiah made no senso of
the printed words, and as the front
door slammed on Jim's departing
figure, be let tho newspnrer fall un
heeded to the floor.
Time passed and still lie-sat,
head hack, eyes halt closed, bis ac
tive brain busy with n.any prob
lems. A bodroom door closed up
stairs as Deborah, his housekeeper,
retired for the night, and aroused
him.
Getting slowly to bis feet he went
over to the smoking table and re
plenished his empty pouch. As he
put back the large can t pipe to
bacco, he noticed the scratch pad
was -written on and adjusting his
reading glasses inspected Aqulla
Chase's memorandum as to the sale
ot a pig.
Below the lino chlrography of the
botunlst, with even tho tlmo of day
recorded, was scrawled a furl her
message In his housekeeper's writ
ing. "Rundown was hanging round all
day looking for work; 1 sent him to
the shed, but the woodpilo bennt no
bigger" so ran Deborah's cryptic
message. . '
A Bmnll photograph In one of the
divisions of the old wallet slipped
out ot his hand and tor fully a min
ute he continued to stare at the
pictured likeness ot his wife. Her
eyes smiled up at him with the
same trust nnd devotion he had
known In thoso happy bygone days
eyes like, yet unlike, Jim's.
ObaJ lull's toll worn flngcrt
brushed his wet lids and, then
slipped tho precious photograph
back into its hiding place.
Going to tho barn, he stepped

The largest pear orchard in
Doug las county, the Overland or

growers of long and successful I
experience and are very enthu
siastic about their new properly,
so enthusiastic in fact, that they
slate with pride that they are pre
paring to spend nearly as much
in tho development and improve
ment of the property as it cost
them to pure ha ho it.
The Overland orchards, located
across the river from tho country
club golf links, is a solid tract
comprising 2SS acres. It is wedg
shaped, having about a mile of
beautiful river frontage, the river
forming the longest leg of the
right angle triangle of tho boun
dary lines. The tract was pur
chased and developed by eastern
people who acquired tho property
about 1 7 years ago. The Over
land Orchards company formerly
owned the property, which was
managed by f harles A. Brand,
until three years ago when It was
acquired by A. C. Marsters and
has recently been operated under
lease by the Dan-Wuille com

Mr. forn, who is spending most
of his time In Uoschurg, took tho
News-lteview reporter over the
property and was warm in his
praise of the developers. He
pointed out how perfectly the trees
were set out in rows nnd how well!
the entire orchard was planned.
There are !)800 pear trees in tho
tract, consisting of three varieties.
Winter Nellls, Anjou and Bartlett.
The pear trees are planted in al
ternate rows to give best pollina

apple trees and 30 acres of fine
grapes.

A large crew of men Is at work
preparing the orchard for next
year's yield. Every tree will bo
pruned and an expert Is exam

possible defect or disease. When
a defective tree is discovered Iti
is marked and all of the diseased
portion is pruned away. Jf it is
found that a tree is badly defec
tive it Is removed entirely and
replaced with another.
Two large tractors were ganged
together and-a subsoller was used I
over tho entire orchard. Tho sub-j

the treea to a depth of 30 inches,!
which will allow winter rains to!

Own Power May Be ;cncintcd
At the present time the orchard
is not Irrigated. U is the pbm oi'
the new owners, however, to plact
the entire tract under Irrigation j
which will be inexpensive duo to i
Oie proximity of the river. It!
has been discovered that a -Ke
foot lift from the river will irri-
gate approximately xu per cent of j
tho land. Water for the irrigation ;
will be pumped from the river ;
by moans nf elect lit! motors. There'
Is no power plant on the plac'j
at the present time, but the new j
owners contemplate tho Intstalla-'
tlon of a Ueisel powered general-j
tng set for the purpose of supply-1
Ing electricity for irrigating and j
for other uses. It Is estimated
that construction of n small plant;
would bo loss expensive than pro-j
curing the extension nt the power j
lines, which do not nass the place.
at present.
Conditions Ideal Here.
Climatic conditions hero nre
Ideal for growing pears, Mr. Corn
said, and he expressed surprise
that there were not more pear
orchards in the county. 1 le ex
pressed tho opinion that the cli
mate here is perhaps even bet- j
tor suited for growing Bosc pears!
than is the Medford country. Al-I
though not included in their im-j
mod lata pin ns, M r. f orn a nd M r.
Barnes will no doubt within the
near future erect a pear packing
plant in Roseburg, or adjacent to!
Southern Pacific tracks near here.
"We have been aide to estab
lish a good market for the pears
and other fruits that we grow
antl shall be glad to co-operate
with growers in marketing their
fruit In any wa y that we ca n , '
was Mr. Corn's statement.
Vinpqua Hivcr Praised.
Looking upon tho splendid river
frontage of tho property ns one of
its Important assets the Medford
men nro loud in their pralso of
tho North Umpo.ua liver. Prac
tically all desirable river frontage
property on the Uogue river has
been purchased for summer homo
sites, they say. nnd an even greater
development In tho future Is seen
for the Umpqua. Mr. Corn nlso
stated that ho was very much in
favor of the construction of tho
road up the North Umpqua to Dia
mond and Crater lakes. He stated
that the fruit -growers of the
Hngue river district have gained
n I most wo rl,d wide advertising be
cause of tho fact that tourists stop
In that district en route to Cra
ter lake. More than 150,000 peo
ple visited Orator lake this sea
son, he said and cars were regis
tered at the lake from every
state In tho Union. Hoseburg
