Fruit of Rogue River Valley Secures
Record Figure in New York

Medford-Telegraphic advices from
New York state that car of Medford
pears, from the orchard of j. w. Per-
kins, sold for SO, 429. the highest price
ever realized for a carload OF pears in
America. Part of the car brought
$40 per box, the highest price ever
recorded for single boxes of the fruit.
They were the Doyenne du Comice
pear, of which not more than Is cars
are as yet grown on this continent.
The variety has for two or three years
been in vogue at the leading metropoli-
tan hotels. 1t has proven especially
we'll adapted to Southern Oregon, and,
while the orchards are yet young, the
quality is unequaled and the yield is
heavy.
The average price for the entire car
was IS 40 per box. The pear box is so
pounds, but, realizing he had some
thing strictly fancy, Mr.. Perkins used
clear half-boxes and wrapped the ten
der pears in paper with lace border and
Autographed stop knot" He also
had Autographed end labels on the
boxes, which were made of clear lum-
ber. His success justfies. in his mind,

MAKE TIMBER DURABLE.
Forest Service Studies Methods, Also
Its Structural Strength.

Washington, Oct. II. - William l..
Hall, assistant forester in charge of the
office of forest products in the forest
service, has returned to Washington
after an extended trip in the West
The study of the methods of seasoning
and treating Western timbers to derive
their greatest service when put to use,
to which Mr.. Hall has given special at
tention on this trip, forms an import
ant part of the work of this office And
the subject is considered of such vital
consequence by steam and electric rail
ways and telephone and telegraph com
panies in the West that a number of
these companies are cooperating with
the forest service in its consideration
Their interest centers chiefly in timbers
for tie and pole purposes. Tests are
now under way for tamarack, hem lock
and cedar timber in Michigan and Wis.
consin, and for red fir, western hemlock
and western tamarack in Idaho and
Washing ton.
Another important line of work in
the office of forest products is a series
Of tests of strength of structural tim
bers.

WEED ROAD IN NEW HANDS.
Lack of Laborers Delays Extension
Toward Klamath Falls.

klamath Falls-The Weed railroad
has passed into other hands. Theodore
Saul, of Weed, large stocholder in
the Weed Lumber company, the former
owner of the road, is authority for the
statement. The purchasing company
is a corporation known as the Califor-
MIA Northeastern Railway company.
This sale not only includes the pres
ent Weed railroad, which extends "a
miles this way from Weed, where it
connects with the Southern Pacific
with eight miles more graded, but the
Weed project to extend the road to
Klamath Falls.
Work just now is almost at a stand
still on the extension of the road to
this city, owing to the scarcity, it is
said, of laborers, but men are being
sought and a larg crew will be put to
work at an early date when the road
will be pushed to tn city rapidly.
E. D. Dunn is manager of the Cali.
fornia Northwestern, and he, with a
staff of assistants, is now at Weed,
where he has taken she management OF
the road from A. D. Evans, former
and who is also manager of
the Weed Lumber company's interests.

FAIR AT AN END.
Great Lewis and Clark Exposition
Passes Into History.

0Tedt Lewis ana Oiafk E<poSitio'
Passes Into History.
Portland, Oct. l6.-The Lewis and
Clark Centennial exposition is ended
Its imposing palaces and buildings will
come down; its we'll groomed terraces
and lawns will quickly fade to har-
monize once more with the rugged
landscape. But it's influences for the
betterment of new country will live
on forever.
1t ran its course on chalk mark OF
success and ended in burst OF glory.
From financial standpoint it was a
success; from commercial standpoint
it was success; from an artistic stand
point it was a success. Look at the
Portland exposition from any stand
point you will, and all you see is sue
cess.
The end came at midnight, October
IA, with scene that words can but
poorly describe. Although heavy
rain was falling, thousands stood the
wetting and waited for the vital hour.
At ten minutes of the hour President
H. w. Goode, Governor Chamberlain,
Mayor Lane and large party of prom
inent citizens and exposition officials
entered the bandutand on Gray's boule.
ward. The band played medley OF
patriotic American airs, which brought
forth prolonged volleys of cheering.
Then Governor Chamberlain was intro.
duced. In few we'll directed words
he congratulated the people of Portland
and of the Coast for the great success
they had achieved. and in passing, eu-
logized President Goode and those who
had been actively interested in shaping
the deetnies of the exposition. Mayor
Lane spoke in similar vein, and ex.
pressed particular delight in. the fact
that the fair should end in the midst
of good old Oregon rainstorm.
Then there came a pause, breath
less pause, during which there was a
nervous consulting of watches. The
minute hands pointed to four minutes
of midnight; then to three, then to
one. The life of the great exposition
was swiftly ebbing away. 1t was but
now a matter of seconds. The hush
was that of death chamber.
President Goode arose slowly to pro-
claim the end. 1t was ten seconds
away. "The greatest honor that has
ever come into my life or that ever will
was that of declaring this exposition
open," he said; 81 now officially de-
clare the Lewis and Clark Centennial
exposition at al end"

Missouri Building With Contents
Totally Destroyed.
ART COLLECTION A VALUABLE One
One Of the Finest Structures on the
Grounds Now a Heap of
Blackened Ruins.

Portland, Oct. l4.-Missoull' state
building is the first of the edifices of
the Lewis and Clark fair to meet an
untimely fate at the hands of the de-
stroyer. 1t was not wrecking crew
which totally demolished Missouri's
magnificent representation at the West
ern Worlds fair, last night, but it was
fendish, relentless and unfeeling
flames, which tore and burnt their way
through the building from one end to
the other, devouring the rarest treas
ures of art, almost invaluable exhibits.
costly fixtures, leaving in their wake
path of destruction, vivid reminder
of the awful power of fire.
The fire began apparently from an
unknown cause at 8 o'clock last night,
presumably in the rear end, and within
Is minutes the whole of the building
and all of its contents had been utterly
destroyed. A desk, trunk and three
chairs were the only things that were
saved. The statue, representing the
state of Missouri, which stands in front
of the building, and which WAS present.
ed to the state of Oregon this week,
was untouched. The Missouri building
was sold yesterday to the Missouri
wreckage company, local concern, for
$4,000, but was not to have been de-
livered until today. The erection of
the building resulted in the expendi-
ture of $l2 900, and the cost of INSTALL
ing the exhibits amounted to about
IS, 900 more. While the loss of the
art gallery is commercially estimated
at 500, 900, most of the paintings and
statues were owned by art admirers,
and could MT be bought for the mere
sake of money. The total loss of the
building, art gallery and exhibits is
estimated at $50, 900. OF insurance
there was a meager cum of S., 600 on
the art gallery.
All that remains of the Missouri
building is a ghastly and heart rending
pile of blackened boards aud twisted
iIonwork, where until last night stood
one of the most beat tiful buildings of
the whole Lewis and Clark exposition,
and which contained an art gallery of
beautiful paintings, and masterpieces
of noted sculptures, Whch can never be
replaced.
The art gallery was the feature of the
nearly all the noled artists OF
contributing to the Assem-.
blage of the paintings and statues for
the express purpoee of having them ex-
hibited st the Lewis and Clark exposi-
tiOn.

CANNOT CANCEL LICENSE.
Oregon Law Prevents Exclusion Of
New York Life From State.

Salem There is no authority in the
Oregon statu es for the cancellation of
life insurance company's license be-
cause of mismanagement is the reply
made by Secretary of State Dunbar to
request for such action against the New
York Life. The request was made by
G. H. Yenner, New York banker, who
has asked all insurance commissioners
to revoke that company's license unless
John A. Mccall resigns the presidency
and George w. Perkins the vice presi-
dency. Mr.. Dunbar explained in his
reply that the Oregon law authorizes
cancellation for only two reasons-non-
payment of money due on a policy or
inability to pay losses-and that he is
not advised that the New York Life
comes under either case.

TARIFF NOT TO BE TOUCHED.
Senator Aldrich is Also Opposed to
Railroad Rate Legislation.

Senator Adrich is Also Opposed to
Railroad Rate Legislation.
Washington, Oct. Ex-senator Aid
rich, of Rhode Island, the general man.
ager of the United States senate, is not
telling what the program is to be for
the coming session, but he has allowed
an intimation to leak out that there
will be no tariff legislation, and no
revenue legislation beyond some pro-
vision for Panama canal bonds.
What Mr.. Aldrich may say and think
is not necessarily the plan to be fol-
lowed, but it is pretty apt to be, and
when the Rhode Island senator, who is
chairman of the finance committee,
says there is to be no tariff legislation,
the probabilities are strongly in favor
of such legislation being pigeonholed if
it ever comes from the house.
But Senator Aldrich is believed to be
equally as interested in suppressng
railroad rate legislation which would
be offensive to his good friends, the
railroads, and there again he is going
to have something to say later. though
he will not talk at the present time.
Senator Aldrich is member of the
committee on interstate commerce, but
he did not attend the hearings given
by that committee last spring, after
congress had adjourned. His mind is
made up on that question. He knows
how he will vote; he knows the kind
OF bill he favors; he understands what
his friends want, and when the time
comes for action, though he will say
little, he will get in a powerful lot of
work.
There is no discounting Senator AL.
drich's ability; he is one of the might
lest factors in congress, and it so hap
pens that he is chairman of the COM
mittee which handles tariff legislation
and member of the committee that
must pass upon the railroad rate bill
after it passes the house. That is an
other reason why Aldrich is in po-
sition to speak with authority as to
Legislative prospects at the coming ses-
sion.
