CPEAT COTTON MILLS TO BE
BUILT IN Los ANGELES

Los ANGELES, Jan. 22.-The
largest cotton mill in California and
one of the largest in the United States,
is to be started soon at San Pedro,
according TO the announcement of M.
w. Durham, president OF The new IN
dustrial organization. The plant will
be named the "Olympia Cotton Mill
Of Southern California;" the company
has been capitalized al s2,50O,OO0 and
81 1885, has already been sun
scribed, said Durham.
On land which four years ago cost
100000 and which lies just outside
the city limits Of San Pedro. the new
mill will be erected which promises to
hraing gigantic benefits to California.
President Durham, H. G.. Gill, the man
ager of the new concern, and other
officers of the organization Will go !,
san Pedro to let the contract for eXca-
walton for a fOur-story reinforced con-
crete structure. The building and i'm
prOvements will cost total of $780,
900.
II is promised that the latest i'm
proved machinery, which will rival o.
surpass that in most of the large cot
ton plants in the United States will
be installed. The machinery, Presi-
dent Durham stated, will cost hun
dreds of thousands. The total cost of
the plant. it is estimated. will exceed
81 100000.
A direct power drive to run the ma
chinery will be used. something new
for cotton mills. Electricity will be
used
Three years ago The plant was
planned for san Antonio. TEX. The ad-
vanta"cS of Los Angeles harhor and
the trade Los Angeles will get when
~" Panama canal opens. asserted Dur
ham, were two big factors which
caused the company to change its plans
and turn its attention to the coast.
When the mill is in operation $500
persons will be employed, President
Durham estimates.
Besides the canal and the harbor,
said Durham, 1.-The climatic conditions
of this city, the water rate, the com
ing business to Southern California and
helped to bring us here.
I'VE will send cotton from the Los
Angeles harbor to foreign ports and 10
every corner Of the globe: the whole
state will be vastly benefited and Los
Angeles and Southern California adver-
tised."

OLD SETTLERS TO PICNIC IN
ASHLAND.
A FINE PROGRAM IS PREPARED
Pioneers to BE Given Free Dinner
All Are Invited to Literary and
Musical PrOgram-3ig Time ira
Prospect.

Pioneers of southern Oregon are
to be the guests of honor at the an
nual reunion of the Pioneer Society
of Southern Oregon to be held at
Ashland on Thursday, August IS,
and their families, too, are expected
to participate in the pleasurable 40
cial, literary and gastronomic Sea-
lures of the occasion, the Arrange
ments for which are in the hands Of
local native daughters and sons OF
Oregon. The general public are cor
daily invited to attend the literary
and musical exercises at the Chau-
tauqua tabernacle at II O'Clock i'm
the forenoon and also an afternoon
program which is being planned for
O'Clock in the same auditorium.
The MONDAY banquet, which will be
held at the G. A. r. hall, will be for
the pioneers and their families only.
The speaker of the day will be Mr..
Irving e. Vining of New York, scion
of one of the best known pioneer
families of the Rogue River Valley.
Mr.. Vining has attained a wide repu-
tation as a speaker and writer and
his address on this. occasion promises
to be one of more than ordinary in.
terest and value. The music pro-
gram is in charge of Mrs. ]. S. apr
son of this city, and will include the
best native talent available. The
banquet is in charge of the Native

park will be the general headquar-
ters and it is particularly inviting at
this season Of the year

PEARS SELL FOR $500
Highest rice Ever Received for Bart
lett earsP Reached by the
1913 Crop.

Medford, Aug. 1S.-The record
price for 1913 Rogue river Bartletts
was received Monday by the Rogue
River Fruit and Produce Association,
which sold two cars of Bartletts to an
eastern firm for 50 per box f. o. b.
Medford. This makes the total OF
nearly 30 cars sold already from
$1,S5 to $1.90 per box. The sale
was made through the Northwestern
Fruit Exchange, and slightly higher
prices are liable.
In 1907 the Bartletts averaged
over 81, but since that time practi-
cally no fruit was sold at these high
prices. A few received high prices
in 1909, but since that time Bart
let's have never averaged over $3.50
The high prices are the result of sew.
eral causes.
The most important one probably
is the shortage of the pear croI
throughout the districts of the north
west. The California mountain
Bartletts, old competitors to Rogue
River Valleys product, will be very
scarce this year, apparently on ac-
count of the ravages OF the blight.
What is worse, the trees that would
produce the crops Of that section in
coming years have been torn out.
Another reason for high prices is that
the superiority of Rogue river Bart
let's has become generally known
and the prices are much higher than
Bartletts from other sections.
Other companies and fruit associa-
tions have received splendid prices.
The Rogue River Cooperative Asso-
citation has sold their entire output
at a high price The Producers
Fruit Company has made several
splendid sales, among which were
two cars of Gravenstein apples to a
New Zealand market at $1.25 (. o. b.
Medford. The Pioneer Company, un-
der the management of II. M. Nc
Keany, has sold many cars of Bart
let's at fancy prices.

AS OTHERS SEE THEM.
If Fashionable Women Heard the
Remarks Men Make.

The passengers of the Southern
Pacific Railway nearly all get off the
train at Ashland, if not to eat, to
promenade during the stop. They
from a study that is of interest from
many points of fview-especially some
of the so-called well-dressed women.
If any woman with a spark of de-
cency could hear the remarks evoked
from the. bystanders at some of the
hobble and slit skirts, and other ca
prices of fashion, she would there
after choose her gowns because they
are modest and becoming rather than
because they are the --latest craze. "
Even men who are not prone to max
ing remarks about women find it
hard to restrain themselves at some
of the exhibitions seen there daily.
1t is noticeable, however, that among
the real way up" people, such as
the wives of prominent railroad men,
statesmen and others, who traverse
the route, practically all are very
quiet dressers. 1t is the fast actress
and swell woman of the underworld,
and the silly fools who copy them,
who make themselves conspicuous
and draw attention and remarks.
