Would some one who knows more
about the fruit business tell us why
It is that the growers of this and
many other places receive so small
an amount for their fine Oregon ap-
piles while those same apples are
selling in lots of places as high as
$3.50 per box and the man who
raised them only got the sum of 25c
per box and some never so much as
heard from their shipments at all.
We think that if the grower is COM
petent to raise them he should have
those profits and not the man who
does not know an apple tree from a
hazel bush.

SLIGHT CHANGE MADE
IN PAC.-INTERIOR ROUTE

At special meeting of the city
council Thursday afternoon a con
tract arranged by the Public Util-
tiles commission with X. NJ. c. Neill
for a slight change in the route Of
the Grants Pass-Crescent City rail-
road through Neill's Applegate
property, was approved, and the
change was ordered. The right-of-
way as purchased by the city from
the Draper-Gunn interests included
the portion across the Neill estate,
the survey there crossing valuable
alfalfa bottom lands. Mr. Neill de-
sired change in the route to pro-
tect this property, and proposed that
If it could be effected that he would
make cash payment of $4,000 and
deed a new right-of-way skirting the
foot of the hill.
The engineers found that the
change would not materially arrect
the route except that it would short
en- the line by 200 feet, with some
what more excavation, and reported
that the exchange would be in the
interests of all parties concerned.
The old right-of-way ran through
the middle OF one Of Mr.. Neil's best
fields while the new one is removed
400 feet to its edge Under the
terms Of the contract, Mr. Neill mace
payment of $1,000 cash, the balance
to be paid when the right-of-way
deeds are exchanged.
The report of the commission on
the consideration Of bids for the
clearing OF the balance Of the right
of-way to the Applegate river was
received, but action was deferred til
the Saturday night session Of the
council The commission recon.
mends the acceptance Of the bid Of
IC. c. Hammersley, who offered 10
clear the three miles at the rate OF
$l1 per acre. The next best bid was
fG5 per acre
