more time to devote to criminal

belong to the Office. Various other
reasons for the change are advanced
by the commission. No change in

Tax Commission Makes
Recommend dations.

The Oregon Tax Commission in it'
report recently printed recommend:
that the duty of collecting taxes
should be taken from the sheriffs and
imposed upon the county treasurers.
The principal reason for the proposed
change is that the handling of public
funds is more particularly the work
of a treasurer and not of sheriff.
There would be one less opportunity
for mismanagement were the taxes
collected directly by tile treasurer and

COMM eRCIAl NURSERY
FOR GRANTS PASS
Keep Thousand of Dolla rs Here
Enables Farmers TO Buy
Acclimated Trees.

There is a certainty that large
commercial nursery will be estab-
lished near Grants Pass this Winter
While attending the Hood River fruit
fair Charles Meserve, secretary of the
Grants Pass Fruit Growres Union,
met a nurseryman who was seeking a
location where the trade would war
rant his establishing large nursery.
On Mr.. Merserve's recommendation
he will visit Grants Pass in the near
future and consider the location and
examine the various tracts that are
suitable for nursery purposes.
Though Rogue River Valley is soon
to be one of the great fruit districts
of the United States for it has an area
Of 60 miles by 100 and thousands of
fruit trees are planted each year yet
the Valley has no nursery large
enough to supply the trade, the three
small ones ih the Valley barely sup
plying the demand in their respective
neighborhoods. While the trade of
Rogue River Valley alone would tax
the producing capacity of large nur.
sary an even larger outside trade
could be had for an accessible mark ct
could be had in Umpqua Valley, the
Oregon coast counties klamath and
the other Eastern Oregon counties and
Norhern California A nursery at
Grants Pass would be central for all
this terriory as large as the state of New
York, or Ohio. The soil and cli-
matte con ditiops are perfect and labor
and transportation facilities are as
favorable as for the other big nurseries
of the Pacific Coast. The fruit
growers of Rogue River Valley are
anxious for nursery in the Valley
for then they could get trees accli-
mated to this section. most i'm.
p)rtant matter, for it takes trees
grown in a damp soil and humid
climate, like the Willamette Valley,
several years to adapt themselves to
the dry climate and peculiar soil of
this Valley.
The more than a hundred varieties
of pests now making havoc with the
fruit industry in all parts of the
United States make it imperative TO
stop the importation of fruit trees to
Rogue River Valley. This Valley is
so completely surrounded by mount
aims that it is isolated from all other
fruit districts and it would be an easy
matter to prevent the introduction
of more pests we're no fruit trees i'm
ported. With a nursery able to sup
ply the home trade the diseased trees
could be kept out aud then II would
be a very easy matter to eradicate the
pests now in the Valley.
A large commercial nurs sry would
give employment to 10 to 20 men for
the year and this addition to the pay
roll of Grants Pass would be an inn
portant factor in the city's prosperity.
The keeping at home Of the thousands
of dollars now sent away each year
for fruit trees would be the means of
adding much to the prosperity of the
county and to be an incentive to the
fruit growers to buy their trees of a
Rogue River nursery.

COAL MINES IN
ROGUE RIVER VALLEY
II Foot Vein Being Opened neaI
Medford-Fine Coal Prospects
On Evans Creek.

The coal property, located in the
hills two miles east of Phoenix
bonded and now being developed by
the Blue Ledge Copper Company, is
giving every indication of proving
to be large deposit of coal as the
two subjoined items from Jackson
county papers indicate.
With wood So to IS fuel is coming
to be most important matter in
Rogue River Valley to householders
and industrial establishments. Coal
will have to be relied on more in the
future as fuel for this Valley and a
supply at reasonable price is the
problem now up for consideration.
Surface indications and limited pros
pecting show that there is large
coal field on Evans creek and experts
who have examined that section
state that there is undoubtedly coal
in quantity and quality that would
warrant mining. AS this coal field
is but short distance from Grants
PISS and easy of access. there now
being wagon road and railroad
would have natural route with
down grade from the mines to this
city, It would be a profitable under
taking for the Commercial Club to
take up the matter of bringing these
coal properties to the attention of
capitalists interested in that line of
investments. With cheap fuel Grants
Pass could secure factories and the
payroll that is so essential to the
prosperity of town. The following
are the items that tell of the progress
made in the development in the
Phoenix coal mine:
Medford Tribune
"a four-borse team loaded with
coal, the product of the coal mine six
miles east of Medford, passed through
here this afternoon bound for the Blue
Ledge copper mines. The load con.
sisted of 80 sacks averaging 12l
pounds each. Another load at the
mine awaits transportation. A
limited supply will be brought to
M edford in few days, and within
60 days. an ample amount to supply
the local market will be available.
"To the citizens of Medford who in
vested their money in the enterprise
when it was matter of guesswork
as to whether coal existed there in
large enough amount to make the in.
dustry commercial success, it was "a
welcome sight to see this, the first
load.
Ashland Tidings-
"Messrs I. H. Simpson and r. L.
Burdic aud party, of this city, yester.
day drove over to the scene of develop
ment on the coal mining prospect in
the Payne place, about seven miles
north of Ashland, aud between this
city and Medford, which is being
prosecuted by the Blue Ledge copper
people. They express great surprise
at the apparent vast extent of the coal
deposits which are being opened up
Their are two tunnels being driven in
the side of the hill, one of them 100
f ct and the other 200 feet in length.
The tunnels are about Skill feet IN
size and at the depth now attained a
solid vein of coal the full size of the
working is being cut through
I" A real live coal mine that will
produce an ample quantity of coal for
fuel will be a boon for this section OF
the state. "
