PROSPECTS FOR FRUIT
In EASTERN STATES
]. d. Olwell. of Medford. Now In
the East Gives His
Observations.

The Medford Mail publishes the sub
5oined communication from Hon.
John D. dwell. formerly one of
the big fruit growers of jackson
county and now in the real estate
business in Medford. Mr.. dwell il a
close observer and reliable and what
he states is of interest to the fruit
growers of Rogue River Valley:
Hon. John d. dwell under date of
Jnne 7th, writing from the Waldorf
Astoria, New York gives the follow
Ing for the information of the Rogue
River Fruit Growers as he has found
crop conditions from Oregon to the
atlantic Coast:
=. l.. Smith informed me at Hood
Hiver that they had about go per cent
Of crop of Apples and Yakima Val
Icy has very good crop, probably 80
or s. per cent Colorado exceedingly
short, estimated at about 20 per cent
Of the crop. The Missouri River
eountry mostly failure. New York
state and the Atlantic Coast prospects
at this time are very good. Apple
and pear trees are just beginning to
bloom. as they have an extremely
late, cold wet Spring, and really have
bad no Spring as yet. Everything is
very backward. The trees are putting
on heavy bloom, and if nothing
should happen later, New York state
and Canada should have large crops.
Continuous rainy and cloudy
Weather prevails, equal to mid. win.
ter. in Oregon. and the people of New
York state are very anxious to see
little sunshine and Summer. l find

pear They are one of the longest
keeping varieties that are grown to-
day. Their ripening time is April,
May and June. am not familiar
with the fact whether they are a good |
bearing variety, but the thought
struck me that a few of them might
be very profitable for our growers in
che Rogue River Valley, as it is
world beater on all other varieties.
and know no reason why they should
not do splendidly with us as they
are comparatively new variety over
the American country and have oriei-
mated in New York State. From
present indications it looks very /
favorable for the apple and pear
growers of Rogue River Valley to re-
ceive very good prices for their fruit
this Fall.

GRANTS PASS LIMITS
NUMBER OF SALOONS
No Additional Licenses Will Be
Granted Until Population
Rea chcs 5000.

Grants Pass is to have but one So
loon for each 800 Of its population.
The mayor and city council believe
that one liquor house can easily satis-
fly the thirst Of 500 citizens, and an
ordinance has been passed restricting
saloons tn this number. BY the terms
of the ordinance all previous ordi-
nances and city laws applying to the
regulation of saloons and the sale Of
Intoxicating liquors arc repealed. and
this new law is the sole regulation,
with the exception, Of course, the
state laws governing such matters.
The new ordinance provides that
there shall be no more than one saloon
for each 500 people in Grants Pass.
and the. United States census is to be
the basis for figuring the population.
As beginning 1t is assumed that
the present population of the city is
1000. This allows the city eight
saloons, but the ordinance does not
affect those already engaged In the
business. At present Grants Pass
has II saloons. Two recently went
out of business No new licenses
will be granted till the census shows
a population of at..least 5000.
Under the provision OF the new
ordinance 1t is also possible for the
council to refuse license to any per-
son buying out any saloon now
operating here.

hibitions Of the national game, the
equals to which are seldom seen

stronger batteries than ever before
played in this part of the state and
the work done by each will be
superb.
The balloon ascension will also be

A Profita BILE Creamery.

The Logan correspondent in the
Oregon City Enterprise gives the fol.
lowing news item that will be of in.
terest to the dairymen of Rogue River
Valley:
Creamery patrons received 81 cents
pound for butter fat for May. The
company received word that their
large cream vat ripener that was or.
dered from New York had arrived
and will go after it Immediately as il
is almost impossible to care for SC
large an amount of cream without
something of the kind. People must
consume more butter now than for
merly at this season of the year for
heretofore this was considered the dull
month in butter market and the price
was generally the lowest at this sea-
son and did not show any marked
raise until about the first of August.
With the prices advancing now what
will it be next Winterl
Eggs also are keep. ng up in price
heus that pretend to have any dignity
about them refuse to lay 10 cent eggs
any more. "

Business Men Back Enterprise.
Last week R. E. Gilbert closed the
deal with II F. Sohoenfeld for the
purchase Of the New Channel Mine,
located on the south bank of Rogue
River at Hells Gate comprising 1888
acres of placer ground. This mine is
eqipped with giant and about 1000
feet Of pipe and has five mile ditch
and good water right, and while it
has been worked but little more than
one season, it has shown itself big
producer. Mr.. Gilbert Is associated
with a number Of business men who
will incorporate mining and de-
velopment company under the laws
Of Oregon. The company will
thoroughly equip the mine and will
have everything In readiness for the
season s run.
1t has been said by many that 1t
would be impossible to secure local
money for mining or development |
enterprise, as the business men have
no faith in their own community.
This idea ia disproven by the fact |,
that nearly sll of the funds raised are
strictly local
