Josephine County Farms in De-
mand.
B. +. Trobridge, Of White & Tro-
bridge, resl estate dealers in Med
ford, was in Grants Pass Tuesday
to close the sale of a 5000 farm near
Merlin to California man. Mr.. Tro-
bridge stated to Courier representa-
tive that Josephine county farm land
wasnow more attractive TO homeseekers
than was jackson county lands for the
reason that the price had not gone op
TO the high figures that is now de-
manded for farms in his county.
Josephine county farms that are a
slow sale at $40 to SIS an acre would
If in jackson county readily sell at
from $50 to $50 an acre. Mr.. Tro.
bridge says that SO far as he can see
the character of the soil and market
facilities Of the two counties are the
same for both are in Rogue. River
Valley and both have the Southern
Pacific railroad and he sees no reason
why that with better roads and more
farmers OF the progressive type that
Josephine county farms should not
readily sell for the fancy prices had for
jackson county property.

NATIONAL lRRIGA-
TI0N CONGRESS
Couuty judge Jewell Gives Re
port of Meeting of the
Congress.

Editor Courier-As the Nationa
Irrigation Congress has met and fin
ished its work. 1t may be proper foi
me to give brief statement Of whst
was done. This part of Oregon wa
represented by Roy Wilson and your
correspondent, and / think that we
did a. well as any Others could have
done under the same conditions. We
sought and secured an interview with
the government reclamation officials
which will doubtless result In much
good. We had with us map which
showed the amount Of land that could
Be- irrigated from the Rogue and
Illinois rivers, and which was fully
explained by Mr. Wilson and myself
and highly appreciated by the officials.
They gave us the assurance that our
propositions should receive prompt
attention. The congress was COM
posed Of about 1900 delegates from
30 states and territories, a majority Of
them being men Of experience and
prominence. Governors and senator's
were there in full force. In fact, q
more representative body Of, men
would be hard to find in any country.
1t was very gratifying TO see the
congress so heartily in favor Of utiliz.
ing our land and water In the interest
Of the entire people. It seemed to
Be settled theory that every person
who comes into the world has right
to his proportionate share Of land
and water. Some Of the delegates
even claimed that q proper adjust
ment Of land and water rights would
be the solution Of our social problems.
Depopulate the large cities and re.
populate the waste places was the
prevailing sentiment.
; Vice. president Fairbanks, Senator
Carter, Governor Mead. Governor
Gooding, Governor Chamberlain and
Judge Lowell were among the promi-
nent speakers Of :the congress.E All
phases of the irrigation question were
ably discussed fand everyone went
away feeling that it was good to be
there.
As to Southern Oregon. IL we expect
anything from the government, we
must come TO the front and let the
country know that. we are here.
While other sections are advertising
their possibilities, we must do the
same. Our land and water are
abundant and should no longer lie
idle.
As Oregon pays more money into
the reclamation fund than any other
state. | would suggest that we keep
this fact prominently before those
who have control of this branch Of
public service. | would also suggest
that. we systematize the irrigation
plans now contemplated in this part
Of Oregon. Many of our people fail
TO see the immensity of what is surely
within our reach. Increase the pro-
ductive value of 90, 900 acres of laud
len fold, and we have an approximate
Df what this enterprise means.
Very respectfully.

EXECUTIVE USES

WASHINGTON, June 16.-Another star
was added to the union today when Presi-
dent Roosevelt signed the bill admitting
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory as one
state The measure also provides that
Arizona and New Mexico may be admitted
to statehood as the state of Arizona, pro-
vided the people of the territories vote in
favor Of admission on the terms submitted
by congress-
The signing of the measure was made
the occasion OF an interesting ceremony.
Senator Beverage and Representative
Hamilton. chairman OF the senate and
house committees on territories, who have
worked long and hard for the measure,
were present, as also were Delegate Nc
CURE Of Oklahoma and a number of rest
dents of Oklahoma, Delegate Andrews Of
New Mexico Secretary Loeb and others.
Just before the president signed the bill
Ambassador speck Won Sternberg of Ger
many was ushered into the Office and he,
too, witnessed the ceremony.
The president used two pens in signing
the measure, writing his FIRST name. "Theo-
dore," with a solid gold pen presented by
the people of Arizona, his family name,
Roosevelt" with an eagles quill, taken
from an American eagle in Oklahoma.
After signing the bill President Roose-
welt congratulated Senator Beveridge and
Representative Hamilton on the compile
tion OF their long and arduous labors in
connection with the matter. He also ex-
pressed the hope that the people of Arizona
and New Mexico would avail themselves
OF the opportunity to come into the union
as a state. From every viewpoint, he said
he regarded this as the thing for them
to do, as the opportunity might not come
| again for a score OF years. The president
said that he had a personal interest ir
the admission of Arizona and New Mexico
as many of the members OF the Rough
Riders. his regiment, resided in those terri
| tories.

An analysis OF the figures shows that IL

OF such examination and inspections said
inspectors shall have access at all times

Wadsworth substitute does not permit in
spectors In the packing houses for any
other purpose.
But at nighttime when no work is sup
posed to be done and no meat supposed to

any improper practice would occur.
Therefore my bill provides that the in
spectors shall have access during the night
time as well as during the daytime TO any
part OF the establishment hereinbefore de-
any Strengthening or other work is being
done therein. The purpose Of this was TO
put the packing houses under the surveil

Two Conventions in scott.
Information received here from the
Times at Davenport is to the effect that
two conventions were held in Scott county
today. resulting in two lists OF delegates
to the state convention, one instructing
for Cummins and the other instructing for
Perkins.
Democratic Convention.
Polk county democrats today held con-
vention and selected uninstructed delegates
to the state convention, which will meet in
Waterloo August Z. 1t is understood that
the delegates are uninstructed because OF
the large number OF candidates in the field
for governor and because Of the possibility
that the convention may consider the name
Of Hon. Jerry B. Sullivan Of this city, who
was the democratic nominee three years
ago. John B. Dennison OF Dubuque. one of
the candidates talked of for governor, was
present at the convention and made an ad-
dress. For time the silver question threat
ened to divide the county convention and
there is a strong probability that 1t will
come up at the state convention as 1t did
three years ago. General James B. Weaver
Of Colfax and. Judge Martin j. Wade of
Iowa City were both much discussed before
and after the convention as probable nomi-
nees for governor.
