NEW COMMISSION FIRM
SUPPLIES PUBLIC NEED

The new commission firm of H.
M. Axtell and Company is meeting
with great success in disposing of
its first shipment of fruit and prod
uce, and from the encouragement
given them by the merchants of this
city generally they expect to do a
fIrst-class business and be of mutual
benefit to the merchants and pro-
ducers alike, which will work to the
good of the consumer as well. Mr..
Axtell says that while his first ship
ment was a mixed car lot, he still is
able to meet the Medford commits
sion merchants prices. This class of
merchandise has come principally
from Medford heretofore. He says he
can practically lay down produce in
Grants Pass from Sacramento, CAL,
at the same rate as is paid from Med
ford here, which makes saving to
the local merchant of from 20 to 80
cents per hundred; and when his
business warrants him in buying
fruit and vegetables direct from the
California Growers association In
full car lots, the rates will be materi-
ally lower.
In speaking of his undertaking,
Mr.. Axtell said that he will get In
close touch with all local growers
and instead of letting the home mar
ket become glutted at times with
produce and fruit that merchants
are really forced to buy to accom-,
modate their farmer trade, and
which many times prove dead loss
to the merchants, the commission
house will keep track Of these loca
conditions and assemble carload ship
ments for Portland, klamath Falls
and, in some cases, Medford, with
return shipment Of other produce
His firm is tabulating the names O.
the ranchers in this vicinity and as
certaining the amount and kind o
crops planted by each. With thes'
farmers on the rural telephone line
he is enabled to secure on short no
tice what he wants that is local.,
grown and knows just when ant
where to find 1t.
The new commission company will
buy any produce that is marketabl
and pay cash for 1t. This, Mr.. AK
tell claims, will be a great benefit t
the farmer, as he will have cash t
90 his trading with, instead of gel
ting due bills. The Ahlf block
ideally fitted with cold storage ia
cilities for commission house pul
poses and the company will hav
plenty of room. Prices will be regr
lated by Portland quotations. Their
are so or more retail stores In tn
: territory of which this city Is prof.
. erly the distributing center.

resumed the journey south.
Sabinas, seventy-three miles out Of
Pedras Negras, where the border was
crossed this morning was the first
stopping place. Practically the entire
populace, consisting principally OF
mine owners, was at the railroad sta
ton to greet the man they termed
'liberator." Madero made short adj
dress from his car. He reviewed the
situation which led up to the revolu-
ton and promised that the policy OF
the new officials would be liberal to
a degree.
Another stop was made ut Barron

where like demonstration was ten

he was met by delegation of promi-
