The Pacific Coast Constru, ,tion
Company of Portland, has been
awarded tho contract for building the
Condor Arlington branch of the 0.

wheat and cattle country Of Gillian
county.
The road to be constructed will be
46 miles in length aud the work to be
done by the contractors will be
varied, as the contract provides for
bridges, culverts, cuts and fills.
Work on the road will be com
menced at once and the contract
stipulates that all Of the bridges and
track work shall be finished by De-
cember 81. The track will be con
strncted in a modern manner aud as
substantially as possible. Owing to
the lightness Of the soil and the
heavy and sudden rains common TO
that part of the country, great deal
of rock work will be put in along the
low places where there might be dan.
ger Of the winters floods cutting the
track and endangering the safety of
the trains.
The bridges also will be con.

the brushwood or drift that might
be washed down from the mountains.

Acreage of Hop Yards Is In
creased so per Cent
This Year.

Hop picking began ON Monday in
most of the Josephine county yards.
During the past week crowds of pick
ers have been fiocking to the various
yards which now al present busy,
picturesque and interesting scenes.
The hop pickers find here an oppor-
tunity to combine business with
pleasure and to enjoy a camp outing
and bring a goodly supply of the
"needful. The hop picking habit,
once established, is hard to overcome
and many young people in Southern
Oregon await the coming of the hop
picking season with much the same
impatience with which the small boy
longs for the Fourth of July.
The hop picking business in this
county has been growing rapidly in
the past few years. At first of in
significant proportions, the profits and
possibilities of the hop crop were
quickly observed and the acreage
was soon increased. The industry
may now be classed among the princi-
pal enterprises of the county.
The hop yards of this county are
located in two districts, one on Rogue
river from one to six miles below
Grants Pass and the other on the Ap.
plegate in the vicinity of Provolt.
Hop raising at the present time is
confined maiuly to the bottom lands
OF Rogue river and the Applegate,
lands that never fail to yield rich
returns from any planting.
The last two seasons have been con
elusive tests of the excellence Of this
county as hop district. Last year,
while the Willamette valley hops
were being ruined by rain, the Jose
phine county wards were experiencing
as near a drought as Southern Oregon
has ever known. In spite of the ex
treme dry weather, the crop in gen
eral was very good. The yield was
sa aisfactory and the quality unusually
excellent. This year the Willamette
valley is suffering from a season OF
extreme dryness; which has cur
tailed all sorts of crops and the hoT
crop as well.
In consequence of the excellent com
parative showing of Josephine county
yards in the past two years and tht
high prices which have prevailed, th'
acreage in this county has been mater
ially increased. The number of acre.

Good Crop and Big Price Make Josephine County Grow
ers Happy.

in bearing hops is about 20 per cent
more than last year and next year
will have a 90 per cent increase over
the present acreage.
This year S crop shows an increase
per acre from 90 TO 1875 per cent over
last year. If the prices this year are
fully as good if not better than last
year, the hop growers are among the
happy people of the county. The
prices at the present time are quite
near the % cent mark. Some of the
growers have contracted portion Of
their crops at less figures but at rates
which insure them good profit.
Four firms of buyers, two being the
largest in the market, have local rep.
resentatives here and the resulting
competition insures the top price to
the growers.

Josephine county hop growers with

MAKES GOOD PASTURE
Grasses for Semi-Arid Lands II
Pays to Plant.

Bronze grass has remarkable
drought resisting qualities, and is
perhaps the most suitable for the
semi.arid and dry portions Of the
country. When properly set and es-
tablished, it will Withstand extremely
low temperature without injury and
will successfully stand the heat of "A
long dry summer. 1t starts very
early in the spring and remains green
late in the fall, standing almost any
amount of pasturing without serious
injury. Its popularity is that it
forms very thick bunchos Of leaves
close to the ground, making heavy
sod and is without many seed heads,
The first years growth yields a good
crop of hay, but it is distinctly a
pasture grass.
Italian rye grass grows rankly and
is excellent both for pasturage and
hay, being mora greedily eaten by
stock than almost any other kind Of
hay. 1t requires good amount Of
moisture and will perhaps do better
on irrigated land. 1t yields enormous
| ", sometimes eight and ten tons to
the acre. Because Of the fact that it
gives a fine color to the butter, dairy
men who have pieces Of most fertile
soil set in this grass can be assured
that they will have pasturage from
March until Christmas in this region.
Fescues is suitable grass for
either hay or pasture and is well
adapted to all parts OF this country.
There are two varieties, meadow
fescue and tall fescue, the latter being
more valuable Of the two. It holds
sod long time in low lying lands
and is best adapted for cultivation on
rich lands.
Bermuda grass makes the rankest
and densest growth Of any species
1t possesses also the popularity Of
iointed roots and when the roots are
cut or broken they Immediately
sprout again at the broken point and
it Is almost impossible to exterminate
it on moist land This grass makes
an excellent hog forage and for the
reason Of its prolific growth from
broken roots, farmers who have given
IL any attention find that it pays 10
plant it, Its long season in the
equable climate Of this territory adds
greatly to its value for pasturing. as
It keeps green and furnishes an
abundance Of food for nearly the en-.
tire year.
Timothy is the old reliable for wet
and heavy land bat 1t is not suited to
light land even with irrigation. In
the heavy soils Of the foot hills and
river bottoms where the rainfall IL
plentiful growing Of timothy is a
conspicous industry and on that il
yielding big profits to their owners.

TO PREVENT FOREST FIRES
Thinks Policy Of Government Is
Wrong.

The government may mean we'll
in setting aside vast tracts of timber
land and letting them become brush
covered and mere fire traps, but the
system is just as mistaken as If the
thing wes done with malice, " said
DIR. W. w. Oglesby of Cottage Grove,
in the Portland Journal.
81 have been on every reserve in
the Pacific northwest" continued the
doctor, "and for 90 years l have
traversed mountains, valleys and
thickets, and know whereof speak,
when say the entire system put in
force by the government is radically
wrong.
"Trees have their life like crop Of
hay or patch of cabbage. When
their period of usefulness ends they
begin to deteriorate and are worth
less in few years We would call q
farmer a fool, who year after year
allowed his hay crop to ncumber the
ground without ever cutting an acre
of 1t. and we would term him insane
II he allowed this field to become so
weed choked that spark Of fire
would devastate the entire farm in
the dry season, but this is the policy
adopted by the government, and 1t is.
as said before, dangerous aud fool
ish.
"There are vast forests Of rotting
trees in the government reserves that
might have been used as sawlogs had
they been cut when they were ripe.
There are thousands of acres Of big
trees that are only shell, the entire
inside having decayed and left but
the bark and thin crust beneath.
Why not cut this timber before IL
goes to waste2
"Another bit of folly is preventing
fires to bo set in the reservations un-
til the brush and underground be-
comes 30 high that when the in
evitable fire comes, the whole forest
Is destroyed. Old settlers and Indians
know that the only safe method is to
annually burn Off the undergrowth,
when IL is so thin that IL would not
endanger the big trees. Then the
grass can grow and you have beau
tiful forest, instead Of a fro trap. "
In speaking Of tho method to be fol-
lowed in preventing big forest fires
and the waste Of valuable timber,
Mr.. Oglesby said
use the rangers to act as oyerseers
and let them allow annually the cut
ting Of such timber as is ripe. The
Pacific coast, year after year, pro-
duces enough timber for all lumber
needs IL the waste is stopped and
merely the annually ripe product is
cut. Then let there be fires started
each year in the reserves and allow
them TO burn of the years brush,
and by taking proper backhre pre-
cautions. no loss will result. Had
the government adopted this plan in
stead Of the ono now in vogue. We
would have had vast areas Of produc-
ing forests instead OF the bleak hills
and barren valleys that mark the path
Of great forest fires. "
