EROM OTHER PENS
HOcH AND Madden.

Governor Hoch Of Kansas, in en-
phasizing his intention to continue to
support the suit brought by the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas railroad, IN the
name of Kansas, to prove title to land
in Indian territory claimed to have
been granted by the United States
when the road was built through that
country in 1874, has thrown an inter-
esting sidelight on his own character.
Urged to drop the suit because of its
Hoch told why he consented to take 1t
up. 1t appears that John Madden, the
railroads general attorney in Kansas,
secured his position largely through
the governor influence ana now ne
trusts Madden's statement that the
suit is justified. He explains this con-
ffdence "A third of q century ago, =
he says, 81 found a diamond in the
rough, a bright and talented Irish boy,
living in great poverty in a dOorless log
cabin on the Doyle. I took him into
my little country printing Office at
Florence, where I myself was strug-
Cling for a foothold in pioneer Kan
sas. I did what ] could to polish that
diamond. and have watched with
DardOnable pride his career from
that humble beginning to his present
position as one of the leading attor-
neys and most distinguished citizens or
the state, q polished orator maker
and lover of classic literature, a manly
man, whose heart Is always IN the
right place, with a record Of which
any man may be proud" No one who
knows the big-hearted governor will
doubt that he thinks John Madden can
do no wrong. With that early training
in the printing Office at Florence, how
could he? Nevertheless many Of
Hoch's friendly critics are asking why
Madden does not return the old kind
ness by advising the governor to drop
the useless and annoying suit.-New

PROFITS ON GRAPES
BUILDS FINE HOUSE
Residence of Hon A. H. Carson
of Redlands Vineyard A
Credit to the County.

A. H. Carson, who with his son,
Louis Carson, owns Redlands vine
yard located on the Applegate and
which is the largest vineyard in Ore
gon, was in Grants Pass Saturday.
Mr.. Carson stated that his grape vines
were in the best of condition and
that the unusually heavy storm and
cold snap the first of this month did
not injure the vines at all. AS grapes
DO not start their frui, buds for
mouth yet the frost did not effect the
yield for this year.
Mr.. Carson now has 81, 900 grape
vines in his vineyard and he will root
20, 900 Cuttings this spring. A part of
thess cuttings will be for vines to sell
this Fall and Winter. but most of
them will be for planting in his vine-
yard. it being the plan of Mr.. Carson
to increase his vineyard until lie has
100 acres to grapes. That he has
found grape growing profitable is
proven by The fact that Mr.. Carson
has completed this Winer by far the
finest farm residence in Rogue River
Valley. 1t is nine-room building
with every convenience of the best
city home and the rooms are finished
in Southern Oregon woods in their
natural state. In the large sitting
room there is a generous sized fire.
place that has mantel and jams of
OAK and madrone finished in manner
that would be an ornament to a $10,-
0CO city residence. This fine home
has been fully paid for by the sale
of grapes, and he shipped grapes by
the ton last Fall. Mr.. Carson had
more orders than he could fill. Rogue
River grapes are now getting repu-
tation in the markets of Portland for
having finer favor and of being
more juicy and better table fruit
than California grapes. The time is
near at hand when Rogue River will
be shipping hundreds of car loads of
grapes each season TO the markets Of
the north from Portland through to
Nome in Northern Alaska.
