Complete Failure. Early Cotton

tomologists of the agricultural de-
partment that the Mexican cotton
boil weevil will eventually spread
over the entire cotton belt of the
United States cotton growers every
where are interested in the work that
is being done to combat this pest
Secretary Wilson's annual report
shows that the department still be-
lieves that reliance is to be placed
chiefly on improved cultural methods
and the planting of early varieties
The Gautemalan ant, which was eX-
pected to be of great assistance IN
fighting the weevil, seems to be
complete failure, as it has been found
that it can not survive the winters
even in the southern part of the cot
ton belt Insect parasites are still
being sought in the countries from
which the boil weevil spread north
ward, but without any positive re-
suits up to this time. 1t has been
discovered, however, that some ma
tive insects in that part OF Texas
first infested have become parasites
of the weevil, and are very destruc-
tive. The department will endeavor
to develop these parasites and intro
duce them in other parts of the In
tested region Secretary Wilson an
nounces the success of the depart
ment in developing variety of cot
ton that natures earlier than any
that has heretofore been cultivated.
The seed of this variety will be dis
tributed in the infested region, and
it is hoped that cotton grown from
it will develop so early that the
greater part Of the crop will be ma
tured each season before the Wee
wills multiply sufficiently to be most
destructive.

gate, where the routes to Grants Pass
and Medford diverge, it would con-
tinue along the east bank Of the river
and would only cross few small
creeks and no heavy bluffs involving
expensive rock work would have to
be passed The enormous water power
to be had at Grants Pass is factor
that will give this city an advantage
in scoring a railroad up Applegate to
the Blue Ledge district.
The Blue Ledge district is one Of
the largest copper deposit on the Paci-
fc Coast. Copper outcroppings have
been found for the entire distance
from Squaw creek a tributary Of Up
per -Applegate, on over the Siskiyou
mountains almost to the klamath
river. Over 400 claims have been 10
Gated in this district, in the center of
which is the Blue Ledge group. The
ore Of this district is largely chalcopy-
rite and carries high average values
in copper, much Of it running from
10 to 40 per cent. Such rich district
wi II not lie undeveloped much longer,
for with pig copper selling at l8 cents
pound and the demand so great that
the refineries are six months behind in
their orders, capitalists will buy up
the various properties and put in
SINE tiers. On high grade ore such as
is found in the Blue Ledge and Ia
kilma districts the profit on the smelt-
ing is enormous, for matte is now
produced al Butte at cost as low as
~ cents pound. and it would not
run higher than or 10 cents a
pound 10 produce copper at a Southern
Oregon smelter, with this profitable
showing it is quite certain that capt.
alists will be seeking investments in
copper mines and their coming will
make certain the building Of rail
road from Grants Pass TO both Takil-
ma and Blue Ledge.

The Granite Hill mine is now equip

pose Of the Company to put in 10

doubling of the capacity Of the mill is
fully warranted by the fine showing

manufactured in the city. The fine
grist mill, erected three years ago,
and not run by reason of lack OF
capital on the part OF the owners,
with which to put in all the ma
chinery and to purchase a supply OF
wheat, has been purchased by l.. M.

Cal The work of putting the mill
in running order will be begun with
in the next week and it is expected to
be grinding wheat by the first OF
March. Both gentlemen are experien-
ced in the mill business. l.. M.
Williamson has the reputation of be-
ing one of the best millers in Cali
fornia and he will havs charge Of the
-four department, while his brother,
G. L. Williamson, will have charge of
the office work and attend to the
buying and selling.
The mill will be increased to its
full capacity of 80 barrels per day and
put in perfect order for turning out
flour that will be the equal of the
best ever put on the market in thii
city.
l.. NJ. Williamson is here with his
family and he has bought the dwell
ing and 10 acres on North Ninth stree
belonging to M. +. Stockbridge
and Wednesday he took possess
ion of his new home. G.. E. william
son will arrive next week with hi
family from Berkeley. These gentle
men have made extensive purchase
of realty in Grants Pass, besides tn
purchase of the flour mill and thei
coming to this city and investing s.
heavily is proof of the confidence tina
capitalists have in Grants Pass.
