NO DEPRESSION
IN N1EDF0RD SAYS
WILLIAM' GATES
"Buyers' week Is a Rood thing,
for It serves to. make better re
lationships; then If you have any
kicks comins you know who to
kick to," remarked V. A. Gates
of the firm of Gates & Lydiartl,
pener&l merchandise store operat
ors in Medford. "Why, certainly,
condition are good in Medfor-J.
Depressions may be in other par's
of the Pacific Northwest, but It
certainly hasn't come to Medford.
There in a bumper pear crop this
year. There will be approximately
&000 cars of fruit shipped out, and
the value will probably be more
than the $5,000,000 received for the
fruit crop last year.
"Now, while the buyers for the
canneries aren't purchasing or con
tracting now for the pear crop,
the growers aren't bothered they
are not discouraged in the least.
Why? The main reason w because
they spent a lot of money in rad'o
advertising in the eat to exploit
the Hose pear, a kinft which is
grown commercially no place in
the world except near Medford.
The Bosc market in the east h-ts
improved so much for the large,
long pear is primarily for sale on
fruit stand; that they are looking
to the buyers of the east, who are
making contracts now.
"Yes, sir, things are good In
Medford. The mills are running,
and all is in fine condition in gen
eral." The Oregonian.
SALT CREEK FIRE
UNDER CONTROL
The Salt Creek fire, burning in
brush north of Lake creek and
east of ISrownsboro, and which
started two days ago and was
thought to have been placed under
control yesterday forenoon, broke
out again in the afternoon when
a burning snag from a tree fell
on the other side of the fire
guard line, scattering spark h
which renewed the blaze, which
was again reported as under con
trol this forenoon.
Altogether during Us duration,
from the time the fire started.
It had burned over a territory of
a&0 acres in extent.
Up to early this afternoon no
new fires were reported In Cra
ter National forest or on state pro
tected territory, and all old ones
were reported as either entirely
extinguished, or under control.
GRASS FIRES KEEP
FIRE BOYS BUSY
Due to the cxcpkkIvo dryness
where vacant lots, alloys, parking?
mid otitlyinK rioid territory are un
lrrlKatid, the members of the cly
fire department nre onsnnt1y on
the qui vive lately, ready to re
spond to grass fire alarms, and this
condition will continue until n
heavy rain falls.
Two more khish fires occurred
today, the first one of which call
ed the firemen to u liurninK stubble
field on Kast Jackson street, which
orlBinated from an unknown cause.
This blaze was quickly placed tin
dor control. Shortly afterwards
the fire department was called to
extinKulsh a crass fire in the rear
of the lioy Scout headquarters on
Kast Main street.
Kirc Chief Roy Klliott said till
that If such Brass fires continue in
number he will ban all Brass tires
until the dancer period is passed.
At the present time It Is. permis
sible to burn Krass around home
premises if a permit Is obtained
from the chief.
