Yesterdays convention was truly
democratic, Men went to the conven.
tion with their oratorical guns loaded
to the muzzle, and speeches were as
numerous as they could possibly have
beeen. 1t was not harmonious gath
ering by any means, and the straight
outs won what might properly be called
rather hollow victory. The citizen
element surrendered in a sort of hap
hazard way. but when it came TO a
showdown voted against the straight
ticket proposal.
The convention was called to order

for the purpose of nominating a citizen

Or. Henderson's Address.

DR.. Henderson addressed the conven.
ton at some length. He called atten.
ton TO the fact that county, state and
national elections were about 10 take
place, and he could not see that demo-
Gratis would do their duty TO the nation
al organizations unless they organized
locally. He believed II was their boun-
den duty 10 name a straight county
ticket He demanded 10 be given some
thing more for campaign material
than the cry, We want to down the
other fellow" and he spoke rather
harshly Of citizen politics. He knew
OF lots OF alleged democrats who would
rather vote for republicans than
for democrats, which ne characterized
as bad business. I'VE need TO be
purified" he declared: I'VE must stick
to the old principles" The doctors
remarks were heartily applauded.
John II. Smiths Ideas.
A hush came over the convention
when John II. Smith was recognized.
Mr.. Smith related the history OF the
citizen movement. He said It had
broken up a political ring and got
more support than any other anti-re-
publican movement ever inaugurated
n the state 1t had been supported By
Of republicans and popu-
lists and had placed the city and the
ounty in the control of democrats.

MONEY IN HAY FARM
Applesate Farmer Makes Over
500 per Acre On Alfalfa.

Herman Offenbacher, who with his
brothers, John, Walter and Frederick,
carry OH large hay and stock ranch
for their mother, the widow of the
late II. Offenbache, on the Applegate
two miles above Applegate postoffice,
was in Grants Pass Saturday with q
load Of two tons of fine alfalfa hay,
which he readily sold for sl3 ton.
As he had made q 30 mile drive, he
remained over night and returned
home Sunday with load Of supplies
which he had purchased of the local
merchants. Even with the long
haul they have to make to get their
hay to market, the Offenbacher boys
are able to make a handsome profit ON
their hay land as they raise seven to
eight tons to the acre with but little
expense for irrigation for they own
their water right and no other ex-
pense except that of cutting the hay,
this giving them almost net profit
Of almost 800 an acre per year,
profit that would amaze an Eastern
farmer with his timothy meadow
producing two tons to the acre with
a large expense for fertilizers and
realizing but sib to SEQ per ton for

PROSPEROUS VALLEY
Stockman. Hopman. Hay Raisers
Have Had Good Year.

John, w. Pernoll, who, with his
mother, Mrs. E. Pernoll, and
brother, and sister. conducts the
store at Applegate and the postofiico
for that place, was in Grants Pass
Saturday to examine drummer's sam
pies and to place an order for goods.
The pernoll store is one of the largest
country stores in Rogue River Valley
and has an extensive trade in the rich
farming and mining districts Of the
Applegate Valley. Mr.. Pernoll
stated that farmers of his section
were exceedingly prosperous this year.
Beef stock, Of which there has been
several hundred head sold from his
section, came off the range in the
best of condition and brought the top
market price. The hop growers are
even more prosperous for on the rich,
easily titled lands of the Applegate
Valley they are able to produce hops,
at an average cost of seven cents per
pound and they were able to sell this
years crop at from 2S cents per pound
to 81 cents, the ruling price this last
week, thus giving them margin of
profit that If long continued would
make them all millionaires. The
acreage to hops is quito large in that
locality and Mr.. Pernoll reports that
ii will be increased fully 20 per
cent this next spring. Hay is one of
the big products of this section for
the rich sandy loan of the bottom
lands ON which ample water for irri-
CATION can be had from the Applegate

stated that dredging operations were
going with energy and day and

The Company employs about 80 men
one half of whom are in the woods
cutting cord wood for the boiler, fur
naces and the dredger, but this big
item of expense is expected to be re-
duced as the company is planning to
secure electric power from some one
