Pioneer Press: There are three lit
tie obstacles in the way of carrying
out the suggestion that Theodore
Roosevelt be made DR.. Harper's sue
cessor as president of the University
of Chicago: First, Theodore would
not be likely to resign the presidency
of the United States even to get the
privilege of standing in Harper's
shoes. Second, Mr.. Rockefeller s
wishes are likely to be consulted, and
it is not likely that he would take
kindly to the suggestion. Third. the
charter of the university provides that
it's president must be a Baptist, and
Theodore belongs to the Dutch Re-
formed church.

Evidently the Press does not know
what a postal savings bank is or it
would not ask such question. In
England and other European coun-
tries where institutions of this kind
have been established for years, they
have proven highly beneficial, and
especially so to- the working classes
and children. Conducted, as they are,
by the government, these postal saw

no possibility of their failure. A fair

1.-The late Bishop Thomas Frederick
Davies of Detroit" said a Detroit
man, "once told me an interesting
story of an elopement. He figured in
this elopement as the officiating
clergyman. It was in Philadelphia.
during his rectorship of St. Peters.
SIT seems that the proprietor of
one of the largest dry goods houses
in Philadelphia had noticed for some
months the melancholy attitude of his
head clerk, a young man whom he
held in high regard. -
THE clerks pallor and increasing
leanness, his frequent signs and alb
sentmindedness, worried the million-
aire proprietor. He questioned the
young man daily. And, finally the
clerk admitted that he was in love- 80.

PRESIDENT HILL, THE MIN.

Among, the coterie Of railroad men
who have made names for themselves
in the building, financing and manag-
ing of great systems of large railroad
interests none have been more con-
spicuous than President Hill of the
Great Northern.
He is in the front rank of his class
today because he was able, with that
intuition which seems in some men to
be almost a sixth sense, to see the
possibilities of the country and to
take advantage of it's opportunities.
People wonder at his ability, and
yet he won by methods exactly the re-
verse of those which have been pur-
sued by his predecessors in railroad
building. Realizing the productive
power of the northwest, Mr.. Hill saw
that it would be a generous supporter
of freight traffic once it was DEVELOPED.
He pushed his road far in the advance
of the belief in the ability of the coun-
try to produce grain, and ever in ad-
vance of the opening of the territory
for agricultural purposes.
He has made the country produce
that it may support his road. The
policy is simple. The country is
made to produce and that produce
must be carried to market by the
roads. Instead of the country devel-
oping the road the road has DEVELOPED
the country. +.
Mr.. Hill frankly admits that his
road is operated for business. No
sensible man would want it operated
for anything else. Every bushel of
wheat raised in North Dakota means
a job of hauling that one bushel to
market. ---------
The interests of the railroads are
thus tied up in the prosperity of the
country through which they pass.
Mr.. Hill personally has made the
interests of the farmers his own, and
his knowledge of the conditions
would surprise those who have not
given the matter some thought.
No other man engaged in railroad
operating has kept in such close touch
with the interests of the country
through which the line passes. s
President Hill can step from the
rush and whirl of the Office, from the
management of the greatest ocean
freight carrying vessels, to a. discus
sion of drainage matters andtlsstock-
raising and farm management that
would put to shame many Of those
who claim to be great farmers.
1t is the same analytic mind that
has carried out the great grain carry
ing road that crosses the continent
and largely handles the hard wheat
crop of the d.-Grand Forks

Flat, Stale and Improbable.

Considerable has been said as to
Governor JohnsOn's administration.
his supporters never wearying of
singing his praises, while Republi-
cans have criticized him, sometimes
without cause. And now the Madison
Press informs us that Johnson's next
campaign will be based upon good
record. If the Press had said that it
would be based on record that is
not bad the Standard would have
agreed with it. Governor Johnson's
record has been neither good nor bad.
He has done nothing to bring any
particular. disrepute upon the state
nor has he made any very palpable
blunders.. But neither has he done
anything which has been in any sense
above .mediocrity. He; has brought
nothing new to the government of the
state; his message to the legislature
was fiat, stale and improbable and
suggested absolutely nothing of i'm
portance; his appointments have not
always been above criticism; he has
added nothing of permanent value to
the history of the state; and in later
years he will be remembered only as
a d Democratic governor in a Republi-
can state. If we are wrong we are
willing to be set right. Will the Madi-
son Press or some other believer in
the greatness of Governor johnson
furnish us with specifications of those
things which he has accomplished
which would warrant the claim that
he has made good record as COVER
nor. A record which is simply not
bad is far from good. 2-Lakefeld

R0GUG RIVER PEARS
BRING HIGHEST PRICE
Mediord Man Gets r ecord Price
In New York City for Car
of Comice Pears.

Last season ]. W. Perkins Of Med.
ford beat the worlds record in the
returns received from car of Com
ice pears shipped from Medford to the
New York market. He realized a
gross return of s3i29. and net return
of s2700.79. This year he shipped
a car of fancy stock to the same place
and he has received word that he had
broken the record again, the carload
bringing s3450, and netting him s27lO,
an increase Of S9.27 over that Of last
year. and the highest price ever paid
for carload Of pears in the world.
All Of the pears In the Car were large,
averaging 30 and 40 to the half box.
there being So 35's 5SS 40's aud about
so half boxes of smaller ones. They
were packed extra fancy with lace
paper. etc.. and marked with Mr..
Perkins brand, which in itself stands
for high quality.
Mr.. Perkins won out this years in
the face Of greater competition than
he had last year. In 1905 there were
only five cars Of Comice pears mar.
keted in New York. This season his
was the l4th car to reach the market,
most of the others being from Cali
fornia. They brought on an average
from 81. 25 to SO. rs per half box, gross.
One of the factors to be considered In
this connection and one that has d.
rect bearing on the price paid is the
fact that these pears will be put In
cold storage and will be In good con.
dition in January. while eight weeks
is about the limit of the time that the
California product can be relied upon
to keep. -Medford Tribune.

OF. GOOD APPLES
The Big Crop of This Yeer Has
Created Greater Demand
at Profitable Prices.

One saving feature about the apple
is the fact that there are so many by
products If this fruit 1t is not only
possible to find sale nearly always
for good fruit as it comes from the
orchard ready for being consumed,
but it has now reached the point
where an enormous quantity Of good
apples is required every year for
other purposes.
In some sections large quantities Of
apples are cut up and dried, some
from the warmth of the sun and
others dried out by especially equip
ped machinery. The evaporators now
do the larger business in this branch,
and in many cases the dried or evapo-
rated apple has increased very much
In value by slicing and taking most
of the water out OF the fruit when
1t is stored for future use.
This year the worlds markets ap.
pear TO be practically bare Of evapora-
tioed and dried apples from the past
season, owing to the short supply Of
apples In 1905. I 1t goes without say
ing that there will be ample fruit to
take care OF the demand for evapor-
ated and dried apples this season.
Reports from every direction shows
that the jelly makers. the cider and
vinegar people and many distillers are
taking time by the forelock to replen-
ish their stock. Most Of these plants
are being run overtime to their full
capacity.
From the several by products we
can make from the apple II has been
urged that as many as possible of the
cores. skins, pumice, bad apples, etc.,
be used for silage and dry skins be
fed to cattle or other stock. II Ii be.
)ieved that II as much as possible Of
the inferior fruit be used In this way
the markets will be greatly better for
good. sound fruit.
