GrOwers's Meeting at Grants Pass.

A fruit growers meeting is to be
held in Grants Pass Monday, Novem-
ber II, under the auspices of the Or
egon Agricultural college and the
Grants Pass Fruit Growers union, in
cooperation with the Grants Pass
Commercial club. Heretofore mining
and numbering have been the chief in
dustries of this section of Rogue Riv-
er valley and these have built Grants
Pass up to a thriving city Of 5000
population, and now it has been prov
en by progressive farmers that the
fruit industry, If fully developed will
add as much wealth to Josephine
county as both the mines and the
timber.
The soil, climate and other condi-
tions are exactly the same as the
neighboring comfy of jackson, which
has made reputation for growing
fancy Spitzenberg and Newtown ap-
pies quite equal to Hood River, and
pears that on the New York market
for the past five year have led all the
United States for the highest price,
$1,000 per Car being the lowest price
this season, with the worlds record
being made on Car Of extra Comice
pears at 81, 707. Tho year recoI d price
for Rogue River pears last year was
50, ,429 Rogue River valley is equally
as famous for its fine grapes and
peaches. With this encouragement
before them, both the farmers and
the business men are taking an active
interest in the building up of the
fruit industry to its fullest extent.
The attendance at this fruit grow
ers' meeting pI Iomises to be the larg-
est ever held in Rogue River valley.
The programme has been arranged to
cover all the principal features of the
fruit industry. Those taking part
will speak upon but one topic each
and no talk is to exceed ten minutes
r ia length. The only exception to this
rule will be to Professor A. b. Cord
ley and Professor G. |. Lewis, Of the
Oregon Agricultural college, who will
each be allowed all the time they may
require to fully present their sub
jects. A question box will be an i'm
portant feature, and all attending the
meeting will be supplied with a pad
of paper and they will write their
queries and place the slips in the box,
to be answered at the close of the reg
ular program .-Oregonia

A Narrow Escape.

V. G. Brock, accompanied by Mrs.
Brock and children, had narrow es-
cape from being thrown into the
Columbia river last Sunday while
crossing the ferry from White Sal
mon. When nearing the Oregon eide
the horses became uneasy and started
to back the vehicle, which was occu-
pied by MIR. Brock and his family.
Before they could be stopped they
backed the carriage off the boat into
the water, not however, before the
Brock family had managed to get
out. Fortunately the ferryb boat had
arrived in shallow water. Had the
accident occurred few minutes be.
fore it is probable that the horses
would have been drowned. the Car
riage lost, and other serious conse.
quences entailed. The team was led
out of the river none the worse fol
the episode.

WHERE THEY STAND
ON COUNTY DIVISION

j. +. Hendricks, says the Oregon
journal, representative from Wasco,
who Was in Portland yesterday from
his Cascade Locks home, will not
father the bill for the creation of Cas-
cade county in the next session Of the
legislature unless it is proved to him
that the majority Of the people of the
interested district really desire that
new county be created To prove that
the majority of the people iesire a
county division it will be necessary
for the people of what is cut out for
Cascade county to prepare petition
signed by majority of the residents
and voters. In the event of this be-
ing done Mr.. Hendricks will support
the county division scheme earnestly,
knowing it to be the wish OF his con.
stitueDts.
The new member from Wasco in
tends to follow out the theory that Ell
lence is 'lden during the session.
He takes the position that as this is
the first time he has ever served in
the legislature he can learn mere aud
do more by keeping i'll and working
hard than by any other means. This
he intends to do.
81 was invited to attend meeting
Of the Hood River Commercial club,
said Mr.. Hendricks, "and told them
that l would be glao to meet with
them and discuss the county division
question provided tbatlSenator Wheal-
don and Representative Knowles we're
also there. | will do what the people
as whole wish as shown by the ma
jority, but will mol be bound by the
desires of faction or section"
Senat or Whealdon, who was also in
terviewed by the Journal, says he is
still opposed to TIE movement now
being aRitated in Hood River for the
creation of Cascade county by the
next session of the Legislature. He,
however, in his attitude will be gov
erned by the will of the majority of
the peope of Wasco county. If ma
jority of the people desire to secede
from the old county government the
senator will not oppose their wish.
He expresses regret at the possibility
of losing the people of Hood River
and that vicinity from the Wasco
county government.
