Nature establishes life and healing

heart of society gets close to the
great heart of Nature, where the twain

Paid S. a Box For Oregon Apples.

In an interview during his recent
visit in Portland Jas. j. Hill, the
well known railroad man said:
IL know you raise fruit here, be-
cause | have paid $8 box for Oregon
apples in New York. When Califor-
MIA oranges we're selling for "a box,
Oregon apples came at the price OF
Just two California orange boxes.
Whenever we wanted apples in New
York, the Oregon brand always
seemed the best. l have sent them to
Europe to friends on several occa-
sions."
Commenting on the above the

says:

WANT TO KNOW
HOW We DO IT

During the cary cart Of September
q number of meetings will be held in
various towns in the Rogue River val
ley for the purpose Of stimulating the
interest in fruit growing. Prominent
speakers and Others interested in the
growing of better fruit in Oregon will
be present. Prof. Withycombe will
repI esent the Oregon State Agricul-
tural college in company with Prof
Cordeley and Prof. Lewis. Hood
River will be represented by Il. II.
Shepard and A. |. Mason.
The meetings will cover period of
five days and the itinerary is as fol
lowse: Grants Pass, Monday, Sep
tember 3; Provolt, Tues lay September
A; Murphy, Wednesday, September 5;
Wilderville, Thursday, September 6;
Lee School House, Friday, Septem-
Der 7; Merlin, Saturday, September 8,
Arrangements have been made to
provide accommodations for all who
come and good time is promised
those who attend. In speaking of
the successful methods employed in
raising fruit in the Hood River valley
the Rogue River Courier says:
"Hood River has earned the repu-
tation of having the most expert fruit
laisers in the world and this claim is
made good by the fact that in no
other section of the United States do
they receive such high prices for ap-
pies, pears and strawberries as is had
by the growers of that famous valley.
The Hood River Fruit Growers union
has been the chief factor in making
possible these almost fabulous prices
that are had for Hood River fruit.
The manager of this, the most sue
cessful union on the Pacific coast, E.
H. Shepard, will be present and tell
the members of the Grants Pass Fruit
Growers union how his union carries
on its work, and how they secure the
big pri for their fruit. In prun-
ing, thinning and the other work of
growing fruit the Hood River or
chardists are the acknowledged leaders
in Oregon and A. |. Mason, one of
their most expert fruit raisers, will
give a practical talk at the institutes
that will be worth $40 to each OIL
chardist present. "

Elpna Orchard Co. Saving Lumber.

The Elppa Orchard Co. have their
sawmill in operation, and are saving
from $1,000 to 5000 feet per day.
They have very nice little mill, and
besides being a profitable venture for
themselves, it is a good thing fol that
part of the valley. Their mill is 10.
Gated on their land, just south of
Booth hill, and the sawmill was put
in primarily as an aid to clearing
their land at less expense, by utiliz-
ing the timber to the best advantage.
There is a heavy stand of fine saw
timber on their tract, as well as the
adjoining land, and will keep their
mill going for some time. They have
contracted for logs on several Of the
adjoining places, and their output
will be sold locally so far as possible,
and the balance shipped out. The
rise of the price of lumber makes the
DISPOSAL of it at a profit assured.
