GROWS STRAWBERRIES
FOR The MARKET
A L.adins Grower for the Grants
Pass Market Gives His
Experience.

J. I. Morrison treated the Courier
force Tuesday to generous sample
of Strawberries grown ON his farm
three miles north Of this city. There
were six boxes, each Of different
kind and in size, color and flavor
were fully tho equal of the Hood
River and other famous Pacific Coast
berries. Mr.. Morrison in the past has
tried most of the new berries that
have been brought out, and while
now giving trial to number Of
new varieties he is only growing for
market purposes the Wilson, Magoop,
Ruby, Joe, Sharpless, and Green's
Corsican. He finds the Wilson,
which has been a standard for years
past with growers, to be his most re-
liable all-around berry for hardness.
prolifioness and ready seller. The
Ruby is very promising berry and
| s his best bearer and while late sells
we'll. Mr.. Morrison finds the Magoon
to be large, sure bearer and is a
we'll shaped berry. The Sharpless
and Green's Corsican are good berries
but have no special features to recon-
mend.
Mr.. Morrison has 4 y acres to straw
berries, but only three acres are in
full bearing, an acre and half being
new plants that were planted last fall
and which are only yielding small
crop this season. Mr.. Morrison is
fruit grower Of years Of experience,
being In the business in the East be-
fore coming to Grants Pass. He finds
STRAY wbaerries quito as profitable as
other farm crops. HIS place is located
on the hillside back of Grants Pass at
an altitude above Rogue river Of fully
800 ieet and he is thereby entirely
above the frost line and never has
his fruit blossoms killed by late frosts.
as is frequently the experience Of
growers whose berry lands are on the
low, damp bottoms near the river.
Mr. Morrison depends on the local
market entirely, as there is no profit
in small grower shipping his fruit
, He consequently only raises a small
acreage, but were there a fruit
growers union here so berries and
other fruits could be shipped from
Grants Pass by car loads and be
. marketed in large quantities in dis.
tricts and more profitable markets

THE JONES CREEK
MINING DISTRICT
Contains o Scores of Veins.
Some of Which Prospect
Very Rich.

The Jones Greek district, three
miles east of Grants Pass, bids fair
to become one of the big mining dis
trlcts of $ uthern Oregon While
small in area, 1t is exceedingly rich
in the number Of veins it contains
and the high class of ore that is found
in them. Though only compara-
lively small amount of prospecting has
been done yet over 20 veins have
been located and miners familiar
with the district predict that as many
more will be uncovered when the
ground hos been prospeoted.
On a 40 acre tract in this district
owned by A. Il. Meade, of this
city, and c. @. Case, of Cottage
Grove, seven veins have been To-
Gated. Three have been opened up
and they give evidence of proving to
be rich properties. One of these
veins, the Black Oak, is now being
opened up and pay shoot was struck
last week in shaft at depth of 90
feet, that is yielding ore that averages
above 800 ton Ore is now being
taken out and sacked and shipment
will shortly be made either to the
Selby or Tacoma smelter. This vein
was worked years ago, the ore
hafpu uround Ia on orrautVo au1 hfu a.
money was made for time by the
operators. The pay shoot giving out
the mine was abandoned and contin-
ued so for 30 years until the present
owners took it up. 1t is the purpose
of Meade & Company to continue de-
velopment work until the full extent
of the vein is known. The vein il
steadily widening at the 26-foot level
in the shaft it is fully u foot in Width
and it is expected that this width
will increase as depth is reached.
On the Horseshoe vein. which is bul
100 feet distant, an equally goot
showing is made and about 10 tons o
ore have taken been out aud sold tC
W. c. Wright Of Grants Pass, wine
worked it in his mill in his assay
office. it yielding from $40 to Slt
per ton.
Another vein in Jones Greek dis
trict that is making good showing
is one that is being developed by
Benjamin Batty & Sons. A tunne
has been driven in on the vein dis
tanoe Of so feet and vertical deptI
of 90 feet is now had and at thi
point the vein has attained widtl
of l2 inches, while on tho surface /
was scarcely two inches wide.
pay shoot, of free milling ore, ha
been struck of such richness that Mr.
Batty and his sou arc mortaring ou

For Cheaper Paving woods.

WASHINGTON, Aug 19.-The forest service of the department of agricul- ture has announced that experiments will be conducted particularly to se- cure a wood for street pavement which will prove lasting. Wood pavement is now made almost exclusively of one or two of the best construction woods, and if it should become popular the drain upon these woods would be seri- ously increased. The forest service will direct its experiments to deter- mine if there are not among the yari- ous cheaper and more abundant spe- cies some which by proper treatment can be substituted for the more valua- ble kinds now in use.

Jacques
THE AMERICAN GIRL

It is a story of thoroughly indepen dent and resowceful American spiri. that the offering at the Jacques next week. The American Girl.' tells, and for that reason should prove most ac- ceptable to the patrons of the house. The eldest son of an English noblemap has welded in secret an American girl named Queena and lives happily with her for six months. Then the news that his father is dangerously ill takes him across the ocean to receive the title of Lord Huntington. The parting between husband and wife is affect ing, as they separate to meet again only after many years. Queena appar- ently deserted by her husband, goes on the stage to support her child and makes q tremendous hit with her mag niticent voice. While singing in Paris she is invited to the American am bassador's to entertain the guests, and there nets her husband. who is now totally blind. She is asked 10 the Huntington home in England to wit ness the marriage of her husband tC his cousin and only at the last moment reveals her identity to the man who has believed her dead. Everything ends beautifully, as it should. Prices are 10. 70 and 30 cents: afternoons ll and 20 cents, ladies 10.

age the establshm men, of the nulnar- ous narrower and specific trades unions which subsequently, sprung up In all parts of the country. Those in- rerested in the labor movement of the time as thinkers and leaders began to perceive in this inclination to narrow ness the menace of final dissolution, and the necessity of national body began again to be discussed. As re- suit. the National Labor union was organized but It's efforts were largely diverted to political ends. with the re- suit that the hopes of it's founders were never realized.
 But the seed of organized unionism was sown and was likely to sprout in almost any corner. The organization of the Knights of Lah0r was perfected
 in secret in 1869 by the leaders of a dissolved local union of garment work ers in Philadelphia. This secrecy which it was thought hest to maintain because labor organizations in the pas, had failed by reason of the disapproval of employers. was SO affectually con finusd for i2 years that few outsiders fully understood it's purpose. Member ship in the society grew phsnonAnally until 100000 members were claimed and branches existed in all parts o the country Admittance to the ordel was granted, however. quite promiscu ously, aud all persons ovev Is years O age. excapt liquor dsalars. gamblers bankers and lawyers were aligibla Tn government of the organization va vested in local. district, state and na tionsl trade assemblies and was of { centralized form.

This was before labor vas accorded the honor of holiday in any part of the country. After he pass age of the resolution workingmen's organizations throughout the land bo- gan agitation to induce state legisla- lures to make the day legal holiday.
 The Colorado legislature was the first to take action and the hrst Mon- day in September. 1887. became. in Col orado, the first legal Labor day ever celebrated. Three or four of the east ern states soon followed and now near ly all of the states and territories have committed themselves.
 The present labor movement in the United States and Canada received its first real impetus with the organiza- tion of the Knights of I.sbo m 1889. although the first trades union in the United States was established as early as 1903 by the tailors. Politics at that time appeared to offer the most car- tain field for labor reforms and politi- cal organizations of lahoring men were not uncommon at the end of the first quarter of the century. In 1929 2 dele gate was elected 10 the New York state assembly on workingmen ticket and few years later the general trades union of New York city was successful in electing It's representative to congress. Various minor political movements were coincident. about this time. with the formation of Q more concrete labor sentiment. and out of political activity. at different points grew various municipal federations or trades unions.

 This is the federation which now controls trades union!sm In North America and which appears to bs a healthier organization than any of its predecessors. It has membership considerably in excess of 1000. 900 per- sons-probably 1.200. .00o-and. accord ing to the last available records. there were affiliated with it i0l national or international unions. sS state confed- erations. 47s city central organizations and 1925 local unions.
