BARTLETT PICKING
OPENS NEXT WEEK
E
Bartlctt pear nicking Is sched
ulcd to get underway by the
middle of next week in valley
orchards. Pressure tests of pears
from various parts of the coun
ty Indicate the fruit will be ripe
enough to pick by that time,
Assistant County Agent Clifford
B. Cordy reports.
Growers In doubt as to the
proper maturity of the fruit are
asked to bring sample pears to
the county agent's office for
tests. Six or eight pears from
the spurs on the inside of the
tree are best. Good pears should
be picked as culls do not give
' reliable tests, Cordy explains.
Growers are also requested to
contact their packing houses re
garding start of picking so as
to keep the plants operating
from the start.
There is a good crop of Bart
letts In prospect. Early picking
will thin tho crop and enable
ine remainder to size better.
"Precious things come In
large packages in Wyoming,"
Mrs. Ann Trevctt, well known
mineralogist, told members of
the Medford Rotary club at a
Tuesday luncheon meeting at
the Hotel Medford. Miss Tre
vett's address stressed the vast
mineral resources of Wyoming
and urged fullest cooperation
between western states in de
velopment of industries through
out the western area.
Oregon and Wyoming have
much in common, the speaker
said. Marks of those who blaz
ed the early trails to the Oregon
country are still in evidence in
her home state, which is almost
identical in size of Oregon. True
western hospitality and friendli
ness abound in both states.
Miss Trevctt told of the enor
mous petroleum resources of
Wyoming, some of which have
hardly been tapped. All of the
minerals needed for the manu
facture of steel are available in
quantities within a 100-mile
radius of Casper, she said. De
scription of deposits of light
metals, precious stones and radio
active minerals was also given
A local collection of Oregon
minerals, properly identified
and available for public exam
ination, was urged by Miss Tre
vctt. Expansion of the study of
mineral resources here by the
coming generation, with empha
sis upon strategic metals, was
strongly advocated. Miss Tre
vett is now visiting In Ashland.

HOUSES COST LESS
Chicago, (U.R) Americans are
paying less than production cost
for typical houses in two-thirds
of all cities, according to a sur
vey by the National Assn. of Real
Estate Boards. The survey, which
covered 324 cities with a com
bined population of over 35,
000,000, revealed that dwelling
prices had not increased in 20
per cent of the cities.

DIVORCE ASKED
Hollywood. Aug. 8--(U.PJ
Mrs. Victoria Mix Robinson, sec

Tom Mix, today filed suit for
divorce against Aviator Earl H.
Robinson. The Robinsons were
married in South Carolina May

weeks ago.
Removal of the Union Oil
company station at the corner
of W. Main and Fir streets is
being completed this week, and
plans and specifications for a
new building to be occupied by
the Crater Lake Motor Company
are being released for contrac
tors' bids. The building will be
owned by C. A. Winetrout, Jr.,
and Alice Winetrout, and a
long term lease has been given
to the motor company. Construc
tion is expected to begin in about
two weeks, and Howard R. Per-
rin of Klamath Falls is the architect.
C. A. Winetrout, Jr., seaman
first class and a gunner in the
navy, is in Medford on a special
leave from Treasure Island to
complete plans for the building.
He will leave Thursday.
Klamath Falls, Aug. 8 Dam
age estimated at between $8000
and $10,000 was caused by fire
Monday night at the Lake Coun
ty Examiner plant in Lakeview,
Oregon.
Glenn Charles, publisher, said
the press was undamaged and
the weekly paper will probably
be published as usual this week.
Assistance in linotype work was
offered by the Klamath Falls
Herald and News. Charles said
the entire paper stock, except
newsprint, was destroyed.
Starting in the center of the
mechanical shop near a linatype
machine, the blaze was confined
to the building.
Jack Matlack Puts
Cheer in Meal At
California Eatery
Jack Matlack, formerly con-

theaters here, recently broke in
to print in a Portland paper, but
this time it was for something
other than his promotional ac
tivities. According to the Portland dis
patch, "Comfortably upholstered
Jack (The Plaque) Matlack is
again filling his office chair in
the Broadway theater after a va
cation that took him to the hot
test spots o f the west, Reno,
Fallen, Nev., and Red Blun,
Calif.
"Red Bluff will long remem
ber 'The Plaque'. To impress
relatives with the flare of hos
pitality he has garnered in the
big city, Portland's junior first
citizen invited his kin to dinner
in a Red Bluff hotel.
"He was seated in one of those
20th century streamlined chrom
ium chairs at the feast. The big
fellow started chuckling, and
shaking over some pleasantry.
Then came the crash which put
to shame the 1929 debacle. The
chromium chair collapsed and
'The Plaque' found himself
wedged between the metal and
upholstery on the floor.
"It almost took a plumber to
extricate the Portlander but he
brought joy to a crowded dining
room. When he spreads, he
spreads cheer."
