CHANGE AT MEDFORD
EXPECTED SATURDAY

1t is believed by fruit men here that
the offer made last year by the Apple
Growers Association, and which is still
open, according to Wilmer Sieg, to CO.
operate with the Rogue River Fruit &
Produce Association in the marketing
and distribution of Yellow Newtowns,
principal varieties of both districts,
may be accepted for the coming year.
Advices have been received here to
the effect that Reginald T. Parsons,
owner of the Hill Crest orchards and a
leading member of the Rogue River
association, looks favorably on a with.
drawal from the Northwestern Fruit
Growers Exchange. Of which he has
been president.
A notice of special meeting of the
Rogue River Fruit & Produce Associa'
tion, set for next Saturday, states the
following:
1.-THE board of directors believes it
unwise to renew the contract with the
MOI thwestern Fruit Exchange and de-
sires to submit the whole marketing
question to the stockholders for full
discussion and for their suggestions

taken by the local association last year,
when it withdrew from the North Pa

Medford concern will withdraw from

this step is taken, the cooperation of

The month was spent in clearing up
land. and one-half an acre of land was
spaded up ready for a garden. The
first of February seeds were planted,
which came up, and there was no frost
to damage anything that spring.
A trip was made to Portland, and
work cattle, cows, farming imple-
ments, etc.. procured. Those were
busy days for US. Early and late were
the watch words, and well were we re-
paid for our labors. The earth yielded
bountifully, and fall found both the
barn and cellar full to overfiowing with
the results of our toll. So our first
year passed.
An orchard :of peaches. plums, cher
ries and few apple trees had been
started and grew nicely. Nature
seemed to smile on US as il to atone
for its severity to our predecessors.
But with the fall came uncomfortable
rumors of trouble with the Indians in
various distant portions of the country,
causing anxious thoughts. Our dusky
neighbors, though professedly friendly.
were as yet untried, and in numbers
were fully able. had they so desired, to
have exterminated our little colony
without very much exertion or trouble.
So the winter passed, and as the early
spring came the rumors came to be
facts, and we found ourselves face to
face with the:horrors of an Indian war.
My pen can but family portray the
incidents of that dreadful year. 1t
seems as if but yesterday that l stood
with little Woodburn Hawks on the
brow of the hill that now overlooks the
town and watched with bated breath
the little steamer Wasco, as with a
handful of soldiers and few settlers
it crawled, snail like, up the river to
do battle with the hordes of yelling
savages that lined the opposite shore.

LOCAL MEN APPROVE
GOVERNMENT PLAN

The plans, as outlined last Friday
and Saturday for the control of the
marketing and distribution of North
western boxed apples by representa-
tives Of the Office of Markets of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, meets with the general approval
of local growers and market men.
Truman Butler, member of the execu.
tive committee of the Growers Council
as formed last year at meetings at Sc.
attic and Tacoma, says that the pro-
posed board of regulation, to be COM
posed of five members furnished by the
Shippers League and five from grow
ers. cooperating with the government,
will obviate the necessity of future ac-
tion of the Growers Council.
1--WE of the Growers Council feel es-
pecially gratified over the outcome of
the report" says MIR. Butler. 'as the
recommendation conforms in every
particular to our desires. While the
proposed system will not sell the ap-
Piles, it will make possible better sales
and distribution by the machinery of
sales agencies already available"
E. H. Shepard, one of the best posted
horticultural men in the northwest,
says:that the plan should be of great
benefit

terday afternoon and went to the little
village Of Pink, lin the mountains Of
Jessamine County where she believed her
missing son was waiting for her to take
him home. She was Mrs Charles L.
Glass, of 13 Lineau place Jersey city,
whose four.year.old boy Jimmy disap.
peared last summer while in Greeley,
Penn. Once again she was following one
of the frutless clues which have dragged
her 5000 miles across the United States
since her child vanished She said the
boy at pink was not her son.
Accompanied by her husband and
Jersey city detective, Mrs. Glass made
the nine.mile journey at night over rough
roads to Pink At Pink live Mr. and

mer home at Greeley. Then suddenly he
was gone. The family searched for him
all that day, but he could not he found.
He left no trace. The mother has been
looking for him ever since
once she Travelled to Oklahoma certain
that the lost boy held there was her son.
Again, she went to South Carolina, sure
that Jimmy would greet her at the end
of her journey. Both times she came back
broken by the disappointment.
Saturday Mrs. Glass left Jersey City
on the old bitter track which has always
led to nothing. Yesterday, as she neared
the place where Holly Ray Farchild"
was waiting for her, she was again GER
tain that this time she would find her son.
No one knows who the little boy she
went to meet is--the Mlllers no more than
their neighbors. According TO their story,
in June of last year two women and a
man came to a cabin they were living In
on Poor Creek, Gerard County, and left
the child with them. They remember the
names the three gave-Mlnnie Woody, a
Miss Lohr and Pies Barnett.
