masters do not draw their salary from
the United States treasury, allow me

such circumstances fourth class post
master is eligible TO his seat. And the
position was taken by nearly all of the
legal talent in the house, as recorded
by their yea and nay vote, that they
were eligible, even when no resignation
had been made. either before or after
election.

SENATOR PROCTOR SPEAKS.
The POSTMASTER here called upon
Nermont's foremost citizen, Senator
Proctor, who was cheered for several
minutes as he came forward. He spoke
Of the effect of the love of sport on
man, and believed that it benefited
him physically, mentally annd morally,
and the effect was healthy and good.
He thought fishermen should be classed
with artists instead Of sportsmen, as
fishing was high art. He told of the
turning loose Of the original IL deer in
1878 and the great results for sportsmen
from il. He referred TO the recent
government appropriation of $4,000
for trout hatchery and believed that
it would be of great benefit TO the state
and nation.
The speeches were closed with one
by Il. b. Finn of Springfield, who
spoke in humorous vein and kept his
audience in roars of laughter, ending
with an eloquent tribute to the state.

GRANTS PASS PEARS
SELL FOR $2.26 BOX
Fruit Growers Union Receive Re-
turns From Initial
Shipment.

The car of Bartlett pears that the
Grants Pass Fruit Growers Union
sent to Rae g. Hatfield of New York,
was sold promptly at $2.26 a box.
Owing to the high refrigerator car
and freight charges, the former being
higher than was anticipated, the car
will net the Union sl.l5 a box. In
a letter Rae & Hatfield complimented
the quality Of the pears but said the
packing was not up to the standard,
one Of the faults being that some Of
the boxes were too fiat and the pears
became lose in the box and the boxes
were pnderweight.
This though is the highest price
ever received in Josephine county for
pears and is fine Endorsement for the
Union, in view Of the fact that three
orchardists would not ship with the
Union and sold their pears to Port
land house for 60 cents boz, which
netted them about so cent on each
