THE GALICE DISTRICT
HAS PROSPEROUS TIMES
Old Store Gives Place to 2-Story
Structure-School House Built
and Tea cher Wan

c. l.. Barlow, postmaster and mer-
chant at Galioe, was in Grants Pass
Thursday and Friday. Mr.. Barlow
stated that work was plentiful and
not an idle man in the Gaice district
and that the placer mines which is
the chief industry were in shape for
active operations so soon as the rains
set in. Much development work is
being done on quartz claims and some
fine properties are being opened up.
The old store and postoifice building
that has done duty for years past aud
was amply large for its purpose has
become entirely too small since 1t has
been occupied by Barlow Bros, with
their stock Of general merchandise and
now it is to be replaced by fine two
story structure that will be ready for
use in two weeks With new and
larger quarters. Mr.. Barlow an
nounces that his firm will enlarge
their stock and make IL more COM

EISMANN BROTHERS
HAVE FINE FRUIT
Will Sell $4,000 Worth of Apples
-Plow Up Alfalfa to Plant
More Trees.

To those who think that Josephine
county is only mining district and
that its chief industry will always be
in the operation of its mines look
at the fruit exhibit in the large dis
play window of =. II. Harth & Com
pany's clothing store will convincs
them that fruit raising is certain to be
the greatest industry of Rogue River
Valley. This exhibit is samples of
apples aud pears from but one orchard
that of Eismann Bros. whose farm is
five miles west of this city and in
quality ii would be a cerdit to even a
Hood River fruit fair.
Eismann Bros. have demonstrated
that fruit raising can be made sue
cess and that there is big profit in
growing strictly first.class apples,
pears, etc Their crop this season
will bring them fully $l4, 000 and
their per cent of profit is certain to
be larger than is earned by any gold
mine, sawmill or other industrial es.
tablishment in Josephine county.
And to further prove their faith in
the fruit industry Eismann Bros will
this Fall plow up 20 acres of fine al
falfa and set the land to Newtown
apple trees. And they expect to in.
crease their planting from year to
year until they will have 200 acre
orchard.

The FRUIT GROWERS
OPEN WAR ON PESTS
Union to Have County Inspector
APpointed-Wili Supply Spray
Materials at Cost.

Ihe meeting of the Grants Pas
= Fruit Growers Union last Saturda,
Owas largely attended by fruit grower,
from about Grants Pass and from
Woodville, Hugo. wilderville, Proyolt
and other sections of Rogue River
y Valley.
Estimates were filed with the sec.
retary by the various fruit growers a.
1 to the amount of apples that they
would have to ship. The report
hows that the union will have FIVE u
SIX cars of strictly fancy pack apples
for Eastern shipment. The Union
Will not now nor hereafter send a
single box of fruit to market that is
not strictly first-c lass. Had the scale.
Goblin moth and other pests not made
such havoc in the orchards there
would have been fully 70 cars of fruit
for shipment
10 inaugurate a vigorous campaign
against the pests that are proving so
destructive to the fruit crop in Jose
phlne county was determined on by
the Union, and it was decided to have
county fruit inspector appointed to
strictly enforce the state law and
make tree owners either eradicate the
pests or cut down their trees. County
Judge Stephen Jewell was present and
assured the fruit growers that he
would cooperate with the farmers to
the fullest extent in having the pest
law enforced. the provisions of which
are very strict, quite a. much as the
state sanitary laws to check smallpox
and other contagious diseases. The
owner of diseased trees will have 70
clean them or cut them down or the
Job will be done for him and the ex-
pense will be a lien on his property
which the sheriff will collect For
county fruit inspector the Union rec
commended Charles Meserve to be
appointed by the county court. Mr..
Meserve is secretary of the Union aud
the organization will assist him to the
fullest extent in the war on pests
whether in the orchard of the farmers
or in the yard of the town resident.
In order that the expense of spsry-
ing will be as light as poss BILE the
Union will furnish the materials at
cost tV those needing the chemicals.
The Union will purchase the lime,
sulphur, salt and blue vitriol which
will be in the sprays used this Fall,
In large quantities and Secretary
Meserve was authorized to secure bids
from the dealers for these materials.
Another reason for the Union supply
ing the spray ingredients is thai they
may be of uniform and full strength. /
Oftentimes spraying is not effective
because some of the ingredients are he. /
low the stregth required by the formu-
la. The result is the orchardist loses
his fruit and is out the expense of
spraying and the use of his land 1t .
is the purpose of the Union to so
clean out the pests that Josephine /
county will be able TO ship East more
than 70 per cent of the fruit crop in
stead of having 70 per cent of the crop
ruined as is the case this year, with |
loss of s75, 900 to the farmers.

TO SUPPRESS FAKE
MINING PROMOTERS
California Has Such a Law and
Oregon Is Certain to Have

which will be held in Denver, Colora.
do, October 16 to 18th inclusive. A
committee composed of the best talent
in the United States has been ap-
pointed to prepare and submit TO the
Mining Congress draft of such bill.
This committee comprises two United

lette (Wis.), and Fred T. Dubois
(Idaho); one Congressman, Eben w.

California has already adopted law
which has worked an almost complete

mining stock aud that lccherous
pa.asitl ON the mining industry-the
fake promoter. 1t is probable that the
proposed leg islatiou which will be
subnitted 10 the state legislatures

the California law, which provides
that any ferson who shall und rtake
to sell or assent to the Publication,

any person or the public generally the
idea of greater value or less APP

guilty of a felony, aud on conviction
shall be punished by imprisonment in

ceeding two years, or by fine not ex-

The efforts of the American Mining
Congress to protect the investor
against mining frauds by furnishing
information as to the true conditions
at the mine, has made more apparent
the necessity of legislation to sup.
press this evil, and 1t is hoped that
all serious mining men will take an
active interest aud communicate with
the secretary, to the end that the mat

The Mining Congress never
was in as strong a position to combat

work more effective.

HIS ABILITY R~ECOGNlZED.

Mr.. E. w. Sheets. the govern
ment road expert under whose
direction the construction of the
model road at Lafayette was be-
gun recently, took his departure
for Springfield last Monday to
enter upon the duties of the office
of State supervisor of high ways
for the State of Illinois.
Mr.. Sheets has been in the
service of the United States gov
eminent for twelve years, as a
road expert, and it is due to his
high standing in this special line
of work that he was lately off red
this position by the State OF IL
linois which he decided to accept
because of the advancement it
makes in his professional career.
1t would have given Mr.. Sheets
great satisfaction to complete
his labors at Lafayette before
leaving for his new post of duty.
as he felt deeply interested IN
the demonstration work to which
he had been assigned and which
was progressing very well under
his efficient guidance. The work
will be continued and completed
by Mr.. Charles T. Harrison,
another government road expert.
assisted by Mr.. Geo. Williams.
Mr.. Sheets was associated with
Mr.. Harrison in building the
macadam and dirt model roads
on the campus of Louisiana State
University at Baton Rouge one
year ago, and the good quality of
the road work done there makes
it a piece of good fortune for us
that Mr.. Harrison should be the
one to succeed Mr.. Sheets in the
object lesson at Lafayette.
By his gentlemanly demeanor
and the practical and intelligent
manner in which he discussed and
carried out road construction.
Mr.. Sheets earned the esteem
and the confidence of the people
of Lafayette, and the many
friends he made during his So
iourn in our midst wish him
well in his new field of labor and
hope that still higher advance
ment awaits him in his chosen
line of work.
