Liberty building into Hp K-ml id of fice (luartei'H for the use of the district hcudftuurtci'H of the Bout It em Oregon and northern .Culifor niri territory of the Stumlnrd Oil company, following the company' recent decision to locate, tho new uistrict headquarter In Mcdford, Was begun by a forco of men lust FrJUay, ami tliiH force will bo In creased as needed, - The company has obtained a; 10-year leaae on 4he east half of the second floor and Is doing tho alteration work at Its own expense. Tho job will be completed In not loss than threo weeks, and thfs-suite of offices will probably be the finest in tho city with oak panelingH, tile floors, French class windows, partitions and the like. The main entrance which will lead Into the reception room, will bo near the front ff the second flpor. 1'here will he private offices for the executives. ' and large office quarters for the' staff of clerks and like employees. As soon as the company quar ters are completed, which " con tract must be within three weeks.' the district personnel will begin functioning in them.

"Their Modes: Request," the Portland, Jourm1!, editorially commenting on the iv cent action of the .Fruitgrowers I,Coaue, in 'asking that protection 1U given ;i gainst any possible in vasion of the Mediterranean fruit fly sayu: , t "No Florida fruits are wanted in Rogue River valley.'. Folks there are afraid of the Mediterranean fruit fly which infests Florid -i orchards. Tho Rogue .River Fruit Growers league requests the Pa cific Fruit & Produce company and all chain stores and groceries in Ashland Mcdford and Grants Pass to brtip? no Florida fruits into that district. The orgn nidation also requests the department of agriculture not to extend the period which wonl.l carry the Mediterranean fruit, fly beyond February 1, 1930.' It further requests that the depart ment close Oregon at the earliest possible date against Florida pro ducts which endanger the Oregon fruit Industry. "There will be general sympathy with tho action of the Rogue River orchardtsts. They, have millions invested in the fruit industry. They do not want to duplicate in tlw-ir valley the experience of Florida with Iho Mediterranean fruit pest. Xor should there bo one ipdividuat In all Oregon who would want that catastrophe to overtake the Rogue River growers. "At best, agriculture, whether :n grain, orcharding, stoekraising -r other line needs all the heip it can get. It feeds the world, but th-1 world is not doing: a great deal for agriculture. "So when a fruit growing com munity begs the small boon of b Ing urotected against a devastating fruits pest,, its petition, should ho heard , and . heeded."'- Portland Journal.
