THURSDAY, NOVEMBER az, 1900

Our mining and commercial club Is
making arrant ements TO have a mineral
exhibit at the depot. This is something
that we need and will give the travelling
public an opportunity TO realize some
thing OF our prospects in the mineral
field. This county is able TO produce an
exhibit that cannot be surpassed by any
other section. We have gold ore that
Is simply remarkable in its richness and
moreover it is not confined to any far-
ticular locality, but is found In nearly
every section in Southern oregon. We
can also produce fine copper exhibit
from extensive bodies OF high grade ore,
and make creditable showing in some
other minerals, but Of course gold Is our
banner product and in that we can show
almost incompatible samples. In ex-
tent and permanence our mineral de-
posits make a most credtable showing
wherever developed. In extent OF
resource and amount OF tributary terri
tory, Grants Pass has an immense ad'
vantage by its geographical situation.
1t is and must continue to be the center
and distributing point for large area
OF country, north, west and south, al
most every ..gsrt Of which is rich in
mineral.

There is a movement on foot to pro-
vide at the coming session Of legislature,
for primary reform, 80 that nominations
may be made at the primaries. The
object is TO endeavor TO do away TO a
great extent, the opportunities ior boss
rule and crooked work and chicanefy in
the selection OF candidates. II is not to
be disputed that the nearer the voter is
to the nominations and the ioss machin-
cry that intervenes, the less possibility
there is TO defeat his wishes by placing
men In nomination whom he does not
desire. The original scheme OF eecting
apresident was by convention Of
electors, who might vote for whomever
they pleased. The people were presumed
10 elect the electors, who should elect the
president. In form, and theoretically,
the present plan follows the same line,
but practically, the people vote to elect
q president and do not consider the
electors, The least possible machinery
there is the better the voters will be
satisfied. Josephine county's represent
tative, G. W. Colvig writes as follows
concering the proposed measure to the
Oregonian;
81 AMI In favor Of law to give the
voter at primary meetings an opportun'
ity TO exprese his preference for every
oRicer elected, whether state, county or
district.
! am also In favor Of some measure
which will give the voter right to ex-
press his choice in the primary for

pressed obligatory on the senator or

FOR THE FARMER,
Dr0uths In Arizona.

Reports from the drouth-stricken
sections of Arizona are to the
effect that every water hole and
most of the wells have gone dry.
In consequence cattle are dying
by the thousands and their
shrunken frames dot the desert
country of Pima, Pinal, Santa
Cruz, Yuma, Cochise and parts of
Maricopa Counties.
The loss to owners of herds can
not be computed, as in their pres
ent gaunt condition no market can
be found. Rarely in the history
of the territory has the water in
the ella and Salt Rivers been so
scarce. Not drop is reported in
the ella, and there is none in the
San Pedro from Benson to its
confluence with the Salt River,
above Phoenix.
At Casa Grande the immense
reservoir is dry, the supply having
long since been exhausted, Crops
of alfalfa, barley and wheat be-
tween Florence and Casa Grande,
as we'll as on the Indian reserva-
ton, Sacton, where the Pimas
dwell, are beyond hope.
Added to this is the destruction
of timber by the forest fires, which
continue to rage i'll the Santa
Catalina Mountains.

Harvesting Onions.

1t is a safe rule that when a
crop has matured then is the time
it should be harvested. 1t is an
exceptional case when it is adj
visable to let a crop remain out
after it has matured. With onions
whenever the tops die down it is
good evidence that the bulbs have
matured and the sooner they are
harvested and slowed away the
less the risk of loss.
A very good plan is to pull the
onions and throw four or FIVE rows
into one; let them lie two or three
days to dry and cure out, as they
are picked up the tops should be
cut off, leaving about an inch of
the stem, as cutting too close to
the bulb seems to induce a ten
dency to rot.
They should be stored in a loft
or some place where there is a
good circulation of air and yet
have the bulbs in the shade. Do
not pile them up, but spread them
out in layer not more than six
inches deep.
If we'll dried or cured out with
out heating onions may readily be
kept until Spring in good con-
dition. They may be pitted out
the same as potatoes.
But, because of the risk of rot
ting many prefer to sell in the
Fall if fair price can be obtained.

Angora goats are all the rage
Just now, and those who have
them on hand are finding a mark
ct for their surplus stock at good
prices. Although priced chiefly
for their wool, the mohair of COM
merce, it is claimed that the meat
is of fine quality. L. d. Coburn,
the secretary of the Kansas Board
of Agriculture, says that for rid
ding pastures of Objectionable
growths, such as bushes, weeds,
dock and thistles, they seem to
have a remarkable adaptability.
Some Kansas farmers are embark
ing to some extent in the rearing
of Angoras for the reason suggest
ed, and also from the further fact
that the meat of these goats finds
ready sale at above mutton prices.
One Douglas County farmer, with
200 acres rough and broken pas
ture land, overgrown with brush,
introduced 1850 high-grade An
goras last August. They stripped
the foliage from the brush as high

American wheat is also being
imported into Japan, and the con-
siderable amount of -four made
from it is being sold there. The
