Says Party Must Redeem

Washington, July 10. That Presi
dent In ft feels his responsibility to
his party and therefore favors a down
ward revision of the tariif is the sub
stance of a atatemeut issued at tba
White House today, following the
visit of a delegation of Kepubiloun
congressmen who pleaded with the
President to have raw material in
their districts planed on the free list.
The PrttMideut informed his callers
that while he was committed to the
principle of revision downward, he
could u.t see his way clear to advo
cate that raw materials tie admitted
free. He declared that he was oMigod
to observe tho question trivn the
viewpoint of the wholft oo i itry, and
not of any particular district.
President Tatt pointed out to bis
viHitors that the Kepuhllcan platform
stood for revision downward. although
that principle .might not apply to
etery case. He said that if iron ote.
oil. coal aud bides did not need pro
tection they should be admitted free.
However, he declared that the ques
tlou laised by the delegation was one
to which he would give in nob thought
and at the same t ime be would take
advantage of all avaialble informa
tion ii order that he might carry out
what he understood to be tho promi

Mr. Hill. "Not bumper crops,

"The value will he higher

now selling around G'.i Cents in Ne

for grain has passed. A great deal
of wealth will be added to the farm
era' store by the sale of their crops
tbia year.
"As fot tha business outlook, there
it no menace ahead. Wood crops,
bringing liieb prices will help the
manufacturing industries. There
should be a atea ly expansion tu that

additional stimulus after congress

Oregon Pear Crop
Southern Oregou alone expects to

lion dollars this season, from the
present indications, it is thought
Southern Oreogu will send away bW
cars uf pears to Kasteru markets.
Tbe value ot each carload is plaoed
at $1000, touting tbe crop worth $500,-
000. Other aectious of the stute will
iboreae tbe value of the pear orop
largely, making a very large total
for this oue great Oregou product.

aud the writer believes that in a very

boom. Have you stopped to tbink
what this would mean to tbe trades
people o' Southern Oregon aud more

tbe supply point of Southern Oregou
aud if five or six mines are working
it means tbousauds ot dollars in tbe
pockets of our mercbauts and more
prosperity for tbe commuuity in gen

Mr. E. H Lnftus was iu town this

their judgment to the tune of a few
thousand dollars, invested in stocks.
Some of the fastest tenuis that baa
beeu witneesspd oo tbe local courts
wus played bunday morning, when
Jack Sprague and Hsgar played the
Hauls in tbe 11)09 singles. For cool
and beady playing aud covering of
territory these two young men have
shown tbemseves to be in a class
alone. Every game throughout the
two sets was a Rood exhibition of ten
nis aod every point was fougbt for
Sprague won iLe first set by the score
of b-1 and tbe sceood se by tbe score
of 0-3 This does , not do credit to
tbe arame that Hagar put up, but
there is no doubt that Sprague played
tbe most consistent game throughout
tbe two sets. By winuing these
games. Sprague is eutitled to the ten
nis racquet and tbe championship in
tbe 1909 singles.
Great credit is due tlm young men
that orgaoized this club for some

Surprise valley fruit is oertalnly
entitled to all the compliments paid
it, as a short trip through the separ

bad tbat pleasure last week, among
others, visiting the cherry oiohards
owned by , Max Fulcber. Tbe "Gard-

the trees, are uot heavily loaded,
there is ra average orop of tbe Black
