/ believe. It to be one OF the best
things that could happen to our city
and would help to maintain prices
for the farmers produce. For ex-
ample, there Is no market price to go
by. We are all afraid to buy any
quantity of produce for fear our
neighbor has bought little cheaper,
and consequently will undersell us
and cause a loss to US. For example,
suppose Mr.. Jones comes in town
with a load Of potatoes, he stops at
two or three stores and we are all
loaded, or perhaps he might sell five
to ten sacks at the market price and
It begins to seem to him that he is
going to have a hard time TO dispose
Of his load so he drives on to the
next man, who has all that he can
use. and by this time Mr. Jones
wants to go possibly Is in a
hurry-so he will say 'If you will
take what | have left, You can have
them for (possibly) p cent under
what | sold the rest for" What is
the consequence? The man that
bought last cuts the price and the
other fellows have to compete or
lose their customers, and the next
man that comes along cant sell his
unless every one is out, and more
than likely has to take the price that
Mr.. Jones made in order to sell at
all. Consequently where is our mar
ket gone to? There are conditions
that come up every day and which
cant be remedied unless there is
some place here to dispose Of your
produce, so that we are all on mar
ket basis Respectfully yours,

PROMINENT LADY DIES
FRUITDALE MOURNS
Mrs. Florence Breitmayer Died at
the South Pacific Hospital
Saturday Morning.

Another home has been entered
by the fell destroyer and a young
wife and mother taken from its
sheltering influence. Mrs. Florenz
Breitmayer died at the South Paci-
fic hospital on Saturday after a sew
ere illness of two weeks duratiOn
which she bore with Christian forti-
tude from first to last. At late
hour on Thursday night, it having
been decided to resort to a surgical
operation, she was removed from her
beautiful home at Fruitdale to the
hospital at Grants Pass. The noted
Portland surgeon, DR.. Coffey, came
here to perform the operation, which
took place at about noon Friday.
But neither surgical skill or loving
friends could save her. While she
rallied from the shock Of the opera
tion she died at o'clock on Satur-
day morning. 1t cannot be said that
her death was unexpected, yet when
the blow came her many friends in
Fruitdale and this city were over
come with grief, The funeral and
interment will be at the old home
in Jacksonville, Mich, for which
place the sorrowing husband and
little son, William, accompanied the
remains on the Saturday evening
train.
Mrs. Breitmayer joined her hus-
band here in October last; he having
purchased property and built home
in Fruitdale preparatory to the COM
ing Of his wife and three-year-old
son. From the very first she made
strong friends of all she met and
bound them to her with enduring
cords of love. She was at the time
of her death 80 years old, having
been born in Germany in the month
of June, 1870, from which country
she came to the United States with
her family while yet very young. In
1903 she was married to Florenz
Breitmayer, a veteran of the Spanish
and Philippine war Last year they
decided to seek home in the Rogue
River valley and finally, as stated
above, they located at Fruitdale.

Prolific Fields.

Perhaps the hardest point for the
unprofessional man to understand is
that two fields of soil may look alike,
but one will yield seventy-five bushels
of corn and the other nineteen. This
very example may be seen at the Ur-
bana co. experiment farm, where one
field has been grown to corn exclusive
ly for thirty years without manure or
fertilizer of any kind. Last year it
gave up less than nineteen bushels to
the acre. Not ten rods away with
everything else the same, over seven
ty-five bushels to the acre were har-
vested, only because the necessary
plant food had been replaced in the
form of stable manure, etc., and be-
cause rotation had been practiced,
using clover as one Of the crops in the
rotation scheme.

searching a time table, l found that
the train mentioned was due in few
