REPORT OF HiLLMAN HOSPITAL

Among the many charities of this city
none is more deserving of assistance, and
none. perhaps. receives relatively less
help than the Hillman hospital.
A few brave women. seconded by the
efforts of some of our citizens who real
lie the need of such an institution in
our busy populous city, have labored in
defatigably to keep the hospital on it's
insufficient income; but the day has at
last arrived when they feel that the work

Willie Montana sang Il VIII Magnify
Thee" with a dignity and sweetness that
was very pleasing.
In spite of the inclement weather the
assembly hall was crowded and the audi
ence applauded very enthusiastically An
encore was given little Miss Kathleen
Moody, who played the "Tarantelle' by
Silas gracefully and unsteady. There
was also great appreciation for the two
vocal solos with violin obligatos, one by
Mrs. Glass and the other by Miss susie
Ferguson.
The entire program was interesting
and showed the existence of much musi-
cal talent IN the seminary.

is beyond their strength, unless more
help is given them by the people of Bir-
mingham.
When the hospital was first built 1t was
the hope of the board of managers and
other friends that sufficient funds would
be forthcoming to enable them to use
every ward and room in the hospital for
charity patients alone but their hope has
been disappointed owing to the lack of
money. The entire third floor is closed,
and many a sick, helpless distressed
man or woman is turned away from the
hospital simply because the hospital au-
thorities have not money enough at their
command to use this floor, which would
accommodate from twenty to twenty-five
patients.
In submitting the following data of the
work done for the year ending December
81, 1906, the board of control feel justly
proud of its years work. laboring as it

WORLDS RECORD PRICE
FOR CAR OF CHERRIES
$500 Is the Amount That q
California Grower Got
For One Car.

1t is not possible to say in whar
fruit or other farm product Rogue
River Valley will excell when thi.
most favored section becomes fully
developed for we can equal Hood
River on Spitzenburg apples and beat
them on Newtowns, far and beyond
beat all the world on pears, beat.Csli-
fornia on Tokay grapes and New York
on Concords, excel Willamette Valley
on cherries, equal Georgia on peaches
and France on walunts, Rocky Ford
on canteloupes, South Carolina ON
watermelons, East Indies on casabas,
California on alfalfa, Florida on to-
matoes, Connecticut on tobacco,
Virginia on peanuts, Germany on
hops, Holland on butter, England on
fine stock and Turkey on mohair.
And then there are score more of
products that Rogue River Valley can
produce to perfection, for this most
wonderful Valley can grow every
thing that can be grown in any state
OF the Union except the oranges.
lemons and other tropical fruits of
California and Florida and our
climate:is mild and nearly like those
states that we can successfully raise
apricots, almonds, figs and other SUBJ
tropical fruits and nuts. /. In prices
realized for our farm products we are
well to the front, but we will do
better when the farmers adopt CO.
operation and through their fruit
growers associations and other organi-
zations ship in car lots and direct to
the biggest and best markets of the
world.
California has been making some re.
markable fruit sales this Spring and
on car Of cherries has broken the
worlds record for price. The follow.
ing is from San Francisco Examiner
OF July and will be interesting read
ing to all who are alive to the posi-
bilities OF the fruit industry in Rogue
River Valley:
One carload of cherries. .....$ 5,100
600 cars of cherries, april
cots, plums and peaches 1900, 600
Freight and icing charges on
600 cars ............. 21O, 900
Net 10 orchardists. except
auction commissions. ... $50, 600
This is the remarkable record of the
California green fruit shipping season
up to last Saturday night.
California shipments up to last
Saturday night were 10 per cent be-
low the record for the same period of
last year. Increased prices, however,
are giving the orchardists a far
greater aggregate return than was the
case last year. .'
The highest price received was $500
for carload of cherries shipped
from San jose and sold in New York.
This is the banner price.for any car.
LOAF of green fruit ever sent from
California or any other state in the
union to any market in this country.
In fact it is the worlds record for a
car of deciduous fruit.
For the first time in the history of
ths California green fruit shipping
industry the railroads are making
both the icing and freight charges,
thus eliminating the Armour Car
Lines separate icing charges.
Averaginl these charges to Chicago,
New York aud Boston. the roads are
getting 500 car. So the difference
between the latter SUN and the aver
age price Of $4,000 per car of fruit
represents the profit for the orchard
i Is less lie eastern auction commits
sion and cost of production.
