Fruit shipments from Rogue River

@Up to January I, 1914. Proba-
bly, fifty cars yet to be shipped. Does
not include express shipments which
are estimated at 100 cars, nor parcel
post shipments.
Fruit shipments from the Rogue
River Valley for the season of 1913
will total 1850 cars. or this about
/ 05O cars will be shipped by freight,
the balance by express and parcel
post.
Fruit prospects for 1914 are ex-
cellent. While rainfall is shy of the
normal, what has fallen has all been
absorbed-there has been no run Off
and the ground is becoming thor
oughly saturated. Fruit buds are
well formed and indicate a bounteous
harvest. The season is an open one
and there is little fear of frost this
spring
81 estimate the fruit crop for 1914
at 1900 cars" states Prof. p. j.
O'Gara, county pathologist. 81 base
this estimate upon three facts.
81. Fruit buds are well set and
indicate heavy yields.
"2. A large acreage of young or
chard will bear for the first time.
"3. About 200 cars of fruit were
lost by frost last year. These trees
will be laden more heavily than usual
after a years rest.
"In addition many apple orchards
that bore light crops last year will
alternate with heavy yield this year. "
Each year will see an increase in
orchard output, as greater acreage
comes into bearing. Frost is effec-
lively fought-and its ravages not
feared. Blight is cleared up quite
thoroughly, and with a favorable
season, with proper vigilance on the

In one of the fastest and most eX-
citing games of the basketball season
the basketers from Ashland high
downed the Siskiyou county high
school team of Yreka by the score
of 16 to IA last Friday evening at
Agricultural Hall in Yreka. The
game, which was claimed by many
Yreka fans to have been the fastest
and best game ever played on the
messed in northern California, was
hard fought from start to finish and
it was only by means of extra time
being given that Ashland finally came
out winner, since at the finish of
the second half the score stood at
14-14. Referee Mowat then secured
the consent of both captains to a
play-off and announced that it would
be necessary for either team to gain
two points to win the game. After
about two minutes of play. during
which time Yreka was allotted q
free throw on foul, which throw
was not converted, a long pass to
Spencer turned the trick, and as Bob
broke loose from his opponent and
raced down the floor to receive the
pass tn entire crowd was awed and
silenced by the tense situation. At q
dead run Bob flipped the ball at the

Professor Hardy to Retire.

Prof. Hardy of the Polytechnic
College expects to leave this week
for Eastern Washington, where he
will enter a new field of work. The

northern California into a glorious
Ashland victory.
At the beginning of the game II

the start they began to roll up points
and at the same time held the Ash
land boys scoreless. After about five
minutes of play the score stood b

il was several minutes later before
the visitors settled down and started
to play real ball. Spencer finally get

The majority of the voters of
Fallon County. who two years d
go voted for Charles l.. Wood of
Alzada for the Office Of Commits
sioner, can hardly look with ap-
proval, and will doubtless, when
the facts placed before them in
this article are known, look with
corsi lerable disapproval, upon q
statement in the Baker SentInc!
of December 18th, openly charg-
ing Mr.. Wood with disloyaIty to
best interests of the major part
of the county, and with unfaith-
fulness to his oath Of office;
stating that he has represented
Ekalaka and a portion Of the
south end Of the county, ana
that he has been a consistent
and unal!oycd supporter Of the
policies of Ekalaka, as lnlrlated
through tho personality Of John
Oliver, wlthont regard to 0ny
other con$1dcrnfion inrolrG1, and
the absence Of that gentleman
(Mr. Oliver) from the board sos-
sions. doubtless bad no little to
do with the resignation. y

ther in EkAlaka nor in any part
OF the south end of the county,
