CROP SUMMARY
Prunes, Cherries Dropping
in Western Oregon
Pears, Strawberries Hit
By Frost Hood River .
PORTLAND, Ore., May 14. (A3)
The Nummary of weather and crop
conditions In Oregon for the week
ending !May 13 was issued by the
United States department of agri
culture weather bureau today, and
indicated that temperature was
subnormal most of the week.
The crop report follows:
Cereals: Conditions were gener
ally favorable for wheat; winter
wheat and barley heading in tl)e
milder districts; some local dam
age was done to barley by fro3t
In elevated districts. 'Planting corn
continues but the weather has been
too cool for good germination.
Fruits: Apples are setting well
and pears in southern districts are
doing well except for some hail in
Jury. Dropping of prunes and
cherries continues In western coun
ties; in eastern counties prunes are
in good condition. Much damage
was done to pears and strawberries
by frost In the upper Hood River
valley. Strawberries ore being
marketed in increasing quantities,
but ripening has been delayed by
cool weather.
Abundant Pasture,
Meadows, Pastures and Janses:
pastures and ranges are furnishing
abundant feed. The weather has
been too cool for alfalfa and clover,
and some- frost damage occurred
to" alfalfa in elevatOu districts; the
first cutting of tilfalfa Is in prog
resa in southern counties.
Livestock: Stock continues to
move to summer ranges, and all
stock is making good gains. Shear
ing was somewhat delayed by un
favorable weather.
Miscellaneous: Potatoes and gar
don truck were somewhat Injured
by frost in localities. Some early
planted melons failed to come up,
owing to low temperature. Peas
are coming into market,

Arthur Curtis James, New York
railroad financier, and large stock
holder in the Northern Pacific and
Great ' Northern railroads, 'said
here today he was hopeful that the
proposed consolidation of the two
railroads might be effected, altho

permission to connect at Klamath

RALPH BILLINGS
is a candidate for the republlcanTl
nomination for County Commis
sioner subject to the primary May
10th.
Mr, Billings Is a member of a pio
neer Jackson County family, Is a
practical farmer and knows the
needs of every section of the coun
ty. He is a graduate of the Ore
gon State College,
If nominated and elected Mr.
nillings promises a progressive, yet
economical administration of Coun

vole is that If the Washington site
Is solected that "the taxpayers or
'Jackson County will foot the bill,"
if an unreasonable price should be
ilemnndod for thlB slte'-the tax
payers of the county will have
nothing to lio wllh that bh the City
of Medford will (ulto euro of the
Purchase of this site.
More 8. P. Crossing to Armory
In this i'dodgor" and also in n
published article Ihoso purlins Hiiy
"30 por cent of (he people f tho
county doing business thoru (menu
rlifg at the court bouse), would bo
"cpmpollcd to travel Mnln utrout
tohd cross tho S. P. railroad trucks."
How unwarranted this statomont is
Is established by Iho fact that
about 76 per cent of the people of
4ackson County and Medford llvo
ijost of the 8. P. railroad and not
east of It. If tho Armory slto were
anlocted 76 por cent of the people
of tho county would bo rojulrod to
cross the railroad I racks in ordor
,lp reach the Armory slto. Thuy
Who suy I hut If Iho Armory slle
tw'oro Holected, Iho court house
would "ho vlsiblo from tho Pacific
jilghwny and the S. P. railroad."
jf that slto woro solected thoro
would be Just two streets nnd ono
block Intervening botweon tho
court houso and the 8. P. rullroad,
4ud that is one oi the strongest
reasons why the court houso should
not bo established at tho Armory
silo. County Jurors who have serv
ed in tho present county court
house In Medford know that the
whistHug of tho 8. P. railroad en
gines and the passing of these
trains mutorlally disturb tho public
officers, In the dlHcbargo of their
duties in the court room, and tho
disturbance is so great at times
that the business of the court must
lie stopped until tho trains pass by
or the switching Is completed; nnd
during the fruit shipping season,
there is an Interminable dlsturb
nnce that vory grout ly Interferes
with the court work. Tho court
house should be located ns far from
Is In any of tho Washington School
district. Tho proponents of tho
Armory slto sny that "tho Armory
site will coHt. loss than nno-l'il'th of
tho amount the city will huvo to
pay for the Wnshlugton site." but
they glvo no I'lguros. II would have
boen morn convincing if the propo
nents of the Armory slto had given
tho IguroB that the clly would ho
required to pay for ouch sito ruther
than to make the unwarranted
statement which they have, un
Biipportud by any price list.
School Site Is Quiet
It is certainly destrnhlo to have
a court house In a (pilot, seclion of
tho city rntiiur than whoro It will
ho disturbed by tho volume of pass
ing trucks,- such as prevails upon
Central nvonuo. Tho Armory site
is on tho lino of traffic to Iho Owon
Oregon Lumber company and to
tho Tomllu llox factory, and pass
ing truck and other IralTIc create
a grout diHturhanco that militates
against public business.
If tho Washington Bite Is select
ed there are no private Individuals
with property to sell with whom
the city will be required to deal;
and no private Individual will have
uny seiriHii interests to subserve
In tho mile of property constitut
ing a part of tho silo or property
closely located to the slto.'
