"What do we do with the rubbish :
That's easy. The city buys small
tracts of ground that are in deep holes
formed by the grading of streets. The
property owners are required to de
post their rubbish in barrels, boxes
or other receptacles that can be easily
handled.
"The rubbish is collected by city en-
ployees and sorted out. The bottles
and papers are sold. The ashes and
tin cans are dumped in the holes
bought by the city. When the holes
are nearly filled we put on n covering
of clean earth and convert the proper
ty into public Fairgrounds for the chill
dren. Then we get from 10 to 33
cents hundred pounds for the paper
and half cent each for the bottles.
Last year we sold 100000 bottles. The
result?
I'VE convert unsightly holes in val
liable city property into Fairgrounds.
We get rid OF our rubbish at small
cost and trouble. and the city Is clean"
'Do the householders co-operateT
'They are glad to have a place to get
rid of their rubbish. They call us up
when the barrels are full"
How about garbage?"
"The householders are required to
have garbage cans, as you do here. 1t
cost us 100000 last year to collect
and dispose of our garbage. But the
tallow. fertilizer and horse hides
brought us a revenue OF 100000. That
wiped out the cost. We have a reduc-
ton plant eight miles from the city.
The garbage is hauled in tight wagons
to steel dump cars on the Baltimore
and Ohio railway. These cars are
owned by the city. Each ton of gar
bage brings us from IS to $3.50 when
II is deslccated. The grease alone from
each ton Of garbage brings us So. II

poslt the rubbish and garbage In prop

MADE A LITTLE FORTUNE
In ROGUE RIVER VALLEY
M. L. Pellet Retires After
ReapinS o Splendid Harvest
From OREGON Soil.

The following from the Msdford
Mail is characteristic of many who
have realized on their efforts in the
Rogue River Valley and retired with
competence. and there are more op-
portunities today than ever before to
make money besides enjoying the best
innate in America:
NJ. L. Peliett left Tuesday after
noon for Imperial Valley, CAL, Where
he will reside with his family. Be-
fore leaving Mr.. Peilett gave Morn
ing Mail representative an interview
and the following in part is what he
said:
II want you to say to my many good
friends in Jackson county that my
leaving is not notion Of my own
manufacture. Fact OF the matter Is
the doctors have said that my wife s
health would be materially benefited
il she was to move to lower altitude
and l moved, moved to a place low
or than the sea.
"If there is any one man in Jackson
county who has Jared better than an
other, guess l am it. Do you know,
this is a grand good country and l
truthfully believe man can make
more money here on an investment of
S25, 900 than he can with $50, 900 any
place between Seattle, Wash. and
Redlands, Cal. l have lived here 30
years. and in that length of time have
learned few things, and this knowl-
edge came to me by hard knocks aud
persistent effort. l am not telling you
this to eoloigze myself, but am say
ing it to do little something to fur
ther boost the best country on the Pa
cific coats
when I started in this country
worked for 81 a day. That was
several years ago, but l am making
a pretty good finish. In clearing up
my holdings here find myself $50, =
600 on the credit side OF the books
the most of which l have realized
from the sale Of my orchards
1.-THE men who engage in the or
chard business in the Rogue River
valley today have a decided advantage
over ..us fellows who engaged in like
business number of years ago. Then,
when we planted an orchard we did
it by guess so far as varity was con-
cerned. We had no idea as to what
q really and truly commercial fruit
was, sor where we-were to find mar
ket for it. Today when an orchard il
planted the man who owns it knows
the..variety the foreign consumers de-
mand He knows how to care for his
orchards and how to handle his fruit
to bring the best results in fact, he
can estimate within very few dol.
lars what certain piece of laud
planted to certain vsritey of fruit
will produce annually iu revenue, and
he knows beyond the question of a
doubt just what he can realize from
the sale of his orchard when it has
reached certain age. All this and
many more smaller details have been
brought about by experiments.
81 do not know of any country
where man can make sure of better
returns from an investment than in
the Rogue River vslley-the country
tn at l am leaving-after clearing up
$50, 900.
III my wife's health is entirely re-
gained l will in all probability return
to jackson county and establish a
home for the rest of my days.
