ON THE CRISIS.
Henry Georges Theory Upheld
Pc0pLe to SOlrc the Problem.

London. Aug. IA seven column article
written by Toistoy appears in THE Times this
morning. entitled "A Great Inequity." 1t deals
with the land question, and says that Russia
is living through an important time that is
destined to have enormous results.
The article is largely devoted 10 the theories
of Henry George and says that the land ques-
ton has now reached a state of ripeness such
as fifty years ago reached by the question
Of serfdom: that Henry George was right; that
the removal of the sin of landed property is
near and that the George movement was its
last birththroe.
The movement for the liberation of mankind
says Count Tolstoy. is 10 he effected by the
Russian SIavonian people. who. by their spirit
ual and economic character. are predestined for
this great universal task.
In conclusion. while maintaining that Henry
George perfected the only practicable peaceful
solution OF the problem, Tolstoy predicts that
il will be solved by the Russian people not by
imitation OF European and American proletari-
anism. but by abolshing landed property thus
showing the other nations the way to a rational
free and happy life.

ROGUE RIVER
SORGHUM SYRUP
A New Industry Is Established
Sugar Trust to Have An
other Opponent

In pioneer days before the railroad
was built and cheap glucose and sugar
refinery syrup was brought in, the
manufacture of sorghum syrup was
all important industry in Rogue
River Valley. and the bulk of the
syrup used here was made by farmers.
The industry becoming no longer pro-
ftable the farmers ceased growing
sorghum cane and put the land to
other crops
With the coming of the sugar trust
the prices of all kinds of syrups has
steadily advanced in the last few,years
until it is again profitable for
Rogue River Valley farmers to again
engage in the growing of cane and
the manufacture of syrup. This sea
son two Applegate farmers ventured
to try sorghum manufacture. These
men were j. I. Cook and j. X. Kubli
Of Kubli. Mr.. Cook having = acres
to cane and Mr.. Kubli about three
fou this OF an acre. Their farms are
IN the famous Missouri Flat, the soil
of which is deep, warm, sandy loan
especially adapted to growing cane
or corn, both of which grows as
thrifty and natures as perfectly as
in the Eastern states. Stalks of cane
were numerous in both Mr.. Cook s
and Mr.. Kubli's fields that we're 10 to
IL feet high. In quantity and
quality of juice produced this cane
compared favorably with the best that
is grown in the East. Mr.. Cook pre-
sented the Courier Office with a sam
pie of his syrup and it is of smooth
flavor, and fairly clear in color, This
is the first syrup that lac has made for
nine years and he was somewhat out of
practice, and his equipment was in
ferior He expects to fit up in better
shape next year and expects to be able
to manufacture syrup that will in
color and flavor equal the best factory
product, but without the dangerous
qualities that the latter has.
Mr.. Cook has had such big de-
mand for his sorghum syrup that he
will plant large field to cane next
season and go into the business more
extensively. Many people prefer
sorghum syrup to the factory article
as the latter is considered by them to
be unhealthy by reason of the chemi-
Gals used in bleaching the sugar and
in giving the handsome color to the
syrup. Sorghum is absolutely pure,
as made on the farms, and no fear
need be entertained that it will ruin
ones digestion.
II the sugar trust continues its high
price on its chemically purified
syrups, and the railroad holds up the
present high freight rates, the manu-
facture of sorghum syrup is certain
to become one of the important in
dustries Of Rogue River Valley. And
there is possibility that in addition
to supplying the greater part Of the
home demand, consi ierable trade
can be built up in the export of syrup
to other sections of the Northwest,
for this Valley is the only part of
Oregon in which cane can be grown
profitably.

OBJECTS AND AIMS
OF A DOCTORS UNION
Cosent Reasons for ORGANIZATION
OF Josephine County Med
ical Association.

In accordance with the wishes Of
the American Medical Association,
the profession In Grants Pass have
organized a society to be known as
the Josephine County Medical Asso-
citation, embracing every member of
the profession in the city.
Primarily, this action is taken, and
the organization made, for improve.
ment in the profession. To encourage
study, and research and to raise the
whole profession to a higher plane,
whereby their usefulness to the com
munity may be increased. The
American Medical Association is or
ganizing tue profession all over
the United States on these lines, and
1t is expected that in the future the
standard Of medical and surgical ex.
cellence will be greatly advanced as a
consequence. Also to promote bet.
ter understanding and closer social
intercourse, and mutual helpfulness
OF the profession to each other is
another object
Meetings will be held regularly
at the offices Of the different doctors
in Grants Pass, and it IS expected
that papers bearing on professional
subjects will be read, discussed and
original research encouraged. Among
other things it is also proposed to do
away with some of the evils that
have grown up in the profession and
have become an incubus on it.
Among these is contract practice or
lodge work which is to be done
away with entirely Bearing on this
point, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, There have been frequent
calls on the members of our society to
render medical and surgical services
to individual members or orders,
lodges or societies at contract prices,
such prices being ridiculously small,
and
Whereas, Some Of our members have
been prevailed on to render an indef.
mite amount Of service for definitely
contemplate fee, therefore,
Resolved. That the Josephine
County Medical Association hereby
places itself on record as opposed to
the lodge, or contract system 80 call
ed
Also in the past, as there has been
no difference between the prices for
day and night work, it has been
deemed advisable bv the society to
make small advance in the night
fee. Calls made between 10 p. IN.
and a. III. will be SO. 80, an advance
of sl 90 over day call, and country
work in the :, night time will be
charged for at the rate of 81. so a mile
one.way an advance of 80 cents over
the day rate. In the past many peo.
pie, knowing there was no difference
in price between day and night, have
and do deliberately wait until dark
ness comes on and then send for a
doctor, whereas il would have been
much better to send in the day time.
