ROGUE RIVER THE BEST
j. W. dwell Finds No Better
Apple Country.

j. W. dwell. of the firm Of dwell
Bros. the well-known apple growers of
Southern Oregon, returned last even
ing from ten days visit to various
sections of Eastern Oregon and WASH
ington, where he went to see what he
could learn about fruit-growing and
packing. "We are generally credited
with being quite successful in apple
growing and marketing in southern
Oregon, - said Mr.. dwell last eve
ming, "but / have observed that
there is much to be learned by visiting
other people and observing their ways.
No community has monopoly Of the
best methods, and more visiting
around might do us all great deal
of good. Last year $500 acres of apple
trees were set out in the Rogue river
valley and nearly as many will be sot
out this season. In 10 years from now
every acre Of good apple land in the
Rogue river valley will be covered
with apple trees. With an industry
growing like that it is well for people
interested in 1t to take advantage of
every opportunity to learn.
"Of course came back more in love
with the Rogue river country than
ever before, and yet I saw many sue.

tie on the market and can be grown
better here than in any other place.
That is the advantage We have in
Southern Oregon. We grow Newtown
Pippins and Spitzenbergs principally,
and our climate, altitude and soil en-
able us to produce better apple Of
that variety than can be grown in the
eastern states. For that reason we
can demand aud receive better price
for our fruit than can the eastern
growers. There is always a plenty Of
the common grades Of fruit, and It Is
by raising something extra good that
an extra price is obtained. People
who go into fruit growing should
study the conditions Of their localities
so as TO determine what variety Of
fruit will do best, and then not he
content with growing anything in
ferior to the best that conditions will

JOSEPHINE'S INDUSTRIES
County's Numerous Resources.
and Many Advantages.

Josephine county, situated in the
southern part of Oregon, possesses
many qualities desired by the home
seeker. The county appears to be
the natural home of the apple, peach,
prune plnm, almond, and in fact all
the fruits that can be grown in tenn
perate climate. The peach tree will
bear the second year after transplant
ing, and it is no uncommon thing to
see peach tree one year old in full
bloom. Apple trees bear in four
years Fruits are grown ON hill land
without irrigation. Hops are grown
successfully and of the very best
quality. Grapes of all varieties do
we'll on the foot hills. The raisin
grape has no superior. Timothy, red
clover sd alfalfa do exceedingly well
and grow luxuriantly. Cattle find a
good range the whole year. Gold
mining is extensively. carried on,
and some of the best properties in the
Northwest are found in !. Josephine
county. Tobacco is grown success
fully, and cattle, horses, sheep, hogs,
mules and goats bring large sum
into the comfy annually.
The county seat is Grants Pass
situated in the center of beautiful
and picturesque valley on the line
of the Southern Pacific railroad
1t possesses that most desirable of all
good qualities, mild, equable,
healthy climate.
Josephine County's 1902 assessment
roll shows an assessed valuation of
81, 25l, 9l5, an increase of s97, 365 over
the valuation of the preceding year.
The remarkable increase shown this
year has largely been made in mining
properties. A number of mines that
were but holes in the ground last year
are producing properties this year.
A number of mines have added to
their equipment and have likewise
greatly increased their value. There
has also been an increase in the value
of farm lands and town property.
This increase will be much greater
this coming year than it has been dur
ing the past. The county court has
been doing much good work during
the past month in the matter Of rails
ing the taxable value of number Of
Josephine mines that were paying
practically no taxes at all. -Tele-

You couldn't tell one Of the votes

Cho-They were both rum votes,
And sanctioned tho license plan ;
But one was cast by jolly old brewer,
And one by Sunday school man.
The Sunday school man-no man

Kept busy all summer denouncing the

But his fervor cooled off with the
change Of the weather,
And late in the autumn they voted
together.
The Sunday-school man had always
been noted
For fighting saloons-except when he
voted;
He piled mp his pray'r with a holy

Then knocked them all down on the

Nevada also closed his public career.
While Senator Vest was brilliant on

would tell stories and make tests by
the hour. Senator Jones also has NOT
kept his fun under a bushel. He is
extremely serious and profound in de-
bate, but in a free and easy discussion

is second to that of no member Of
