Tn-County Meeting
At Klamath SATURDAY.

We give the story of the Tri-County
Booster meeting at Klamath Falls
Saturday as it appeared in the Klam-
ath Falls Northwestern Saturday:
An organization that bids fair to
play an important part in the devel-
opment of southern Oregon was per-
fectej at the meeting held at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms yes
terday morning. Ben c. Sheldon was
responsible for the movement, which
had it's firts impetus at a meeting
held in Medford last April.
r presentatives of the commercial
clubs of klamath Falls, Ashland,
Grants Pass and Medford were in at
tendance yesterday and several other
clubs have already applied for mem
bership. Will Steele was selected
president, E. 3. Hall vice-president,
w. E. Newcombe of Ashland secre-
tary and George Hobart of Grants
Pass treasurer.
The purpose of the league is to
unite the three counties OF Klamath,
Jackson and Josephine in the promo
tion, advertisement and improvement
of their natural attractions. It is
we'll known that such features as Cra-
ter Lake, Marble Halls of Oregon,
Ashland's mineral springs and the
numerous other beauty spots of the
three counties, taken singly, will not
attract the host OF tourists and home
seekers that will come on a proper
presentation of all these attractions
as unit. This the league Just or
ganized proposes to do. A carefully
prepared auto road map will be pub
lished for wide distribution; PAM

would urge that "Glen View Drive
be accepted as the designation of the
new drive to be built along the brow
of Watch HILL" "Glen View" was
the name first suggested and 1t
seems to have all the leading charac-
teristics of successful name; for it
is at once simple, descriptive, distinc-
tive and euphonious.
Another matter under considera-
tion is whether or not to retain the
name Ashland Butte" for our snow
capped Mount" Ashland. l, for one,
vote for Butte" in preference to the
more common and tanner term
Mount" To tourists, particularly,
Butte" would appeal as having the
real western flavor I believe nearly
all the prominent elevations, includ-
ing Mount Shasta, were called
"buttes" by the early settlers, and to
me the term has an attractive and
piquant sound and should have ad-
vertising value. By the way, it is
worthy of notice that the U. S. Geo
logical Survey maps name Mount
Ashland "Siskiyou Peak" Perhaps,
after all, this is the best suggestion.
Siskiyou Peak for the mountain, Sis
kiyou Water for the lovely, life-giv-
ing stream to which it gives birth,
Siskiyou Park for our city's enlarged
domain of the future, stretching to
the mountains base-these seem to
me names charmingly appropriate
and effective.

Crop Not Up
TO Expectations

shipments OF northwestern apples
this year will be less than most au-
thorities figured on earlier in the sea-
son, but elsewhere in the United
states crop prospects do not yet show
much change. The Department of
Agriculture estimates the condition of
the entire crop at 1877 per cent this
year, as compared with a ten-year
average condition of 66.5 per cent.
on the same date last year the con-
dltlon was reported as GIL per cent,
In 1912 at 1878 per cent and in 1911
at 6S.5 per cent. The commercial
shipments of 1913 were only ga per
cent of those of 1912. Apple men
believe the country's commercial
shipments this year will exceed those
of 1912.
According to the government esti-
mate, the condition of the Oregon
crop last month was sc, as against
the ten-year average Of "a per cent,
that of Washington SS per cent, with
the ten-year average SO per cent, and
Idaho IS per cent, the ten-year aver
age being 8S per cent.
In the northwest the crop is early.
Estimates are somewhat reduced be-
cause of the June drop, which was
heavy in some localities. Moreover,
trees that bore heavily last yea rare
bearing lightly this year, according
to recent information. The estimate
now made of probable northwestern
shipments this year is $1,000 cars.
California presents conflicting re-
ports. The prevailing estimate from
the Watsonville district is that the
commercial crop will be about so per
cent, or 1000 cars. The Pajaro VAL
ley promises another 1000 cars.
Colorado may have the largest crop
in its history, totaling between 5000
and $500 cars. Utah's prospects also
are good, being from 25 to 80 per
cent over last year. New Mexico will
have slight increase.
New York's crop will be the largest
since 1896, it is declared, and the
Department of Agriculture conserva-
lively estimates it at SS per cent of
normal and S4 per cent of the ten
year average. There may be falling
off in Indiana, Wisconsin and Mime
sofa, but these states are unimpor-
tant in point of production. Iowa is
still uncertain. There will be large
gains in other New England, southern
and middle western states, particular
ly in the well-known apple-producing
districts.
Canada's apple crop will be very
satisfactory, according to its Depart
ment of Agriculture. In Nova Scotia
recent developments show poor pros
poets, Ontario's crop has been reduced
by insect ravages and New Brunswick
has been injured by frosts, but Que
bee promises an excellent yield, the
Ottawa and 1T. Lawrence valleys are
generally favorable and the OKanogan
Valley outlook is quite good.
England will only have a so per
cent crop, its apples having been dam
aged by May frost-the most unfor-
tunate in its history.

Admiration of ashland Springs oil
the Future.

Admiration of ashland Springs oil
the Future.
We have been much impressed
with statements recently made by the
Rev. Mr.. Ogg, returned missionary
and book publisher from Madras, In
dia, and Prof. H. G. Gilmore of this
city relative to the natural beauties
and climatic charms of ashland the
Beautiful" to be known hereafter, it
is to be hoped, as Ashland Springs" ."
Both of these gentlemen have seen
much of 'furrin" parts and have a
lively recollection of almost every Sec
tion of our national domain, and are
unanimous in their belief that the
spot has yet to be discovered that
can, in any manner of means, surpass
it. We consider this expert testimony
of a decidedly convincing character
and should be known of all men with
a hankering for a clean, a healthy
and, with it all, fascinating home
town.
From another source-in a letter
just received by Professor Gilmore
from Mr.. John NJ. Scott, who con
trolls things" from Portland north to
the state line at California-who de-
livers himself in this fashion upon
Ashland, the gateway city of Oregon:
Il need not say to you that both
myself and Mrs. Scott lean very much
towards your city and / never lose
a chance of making a trip to Beau
tiful Ashland 1t is possible we may
be able to spend few days with you
during your Chautauqua, which un-
derstand has many good things on
the hook for 1914"
General Passenger Agent Scott, let
1t be understood that the freedom of
Ashland Springs is yours for the ask
ing.
