A COLT SHOW THAT
PLEASED H0RSeMEN
Half-breed Percheron Colt, Five
Months Old. That Is q Win
ner For Size.

One of the interesting features Of
the dairy and fine stock meeting in
Grants Pass Thursday of last week
was the colt EXHIBIT made by E. N.
Provolt, the we'll known stock raiser
whose fine farm is on the Applegate
near Provolt.
Mr.. Provolt brought in from his
place two colts and the dam of the
youngest one and had them on ex.
hibition at George Lewis stable
The Oldest colt was two years old and
was half Shire, its dam being a small
common mare aud its sire the fine
Shire horse owned by @. o. Biglow.
1t was the size OF common three
year old and will make an animal
that will readily sell for $500 or more.
The younger colt though was won
der to the farmers who have only had
experiene with just common horses,
for though it was but five months old
it was as tall as its dam and weighed
almost as much.
The dam was Cayuse mare from
Eastern Oregon and weighed less than
900 pounds, while the sire was the
1000 pound Percheron horse owned by
the Grants Pass Breeders Association
of which Mr.. Provolt is a member.
At the close of the farmers institute a
large delegation visited the stable to
see this practical demonstration of
the crossing of the big Percheron
draft horse with small, common
mare. At the request Of Mr.. Provolt
and other horsemen present, 4. T..
Judd, the we'll known raiser of reg
istered Peroheron horses of Turner,
Oregon, and who was one Of the
speakers at the institute, gave a
highly instructive talk on the Re lative
merits of the colt and of the success
that could be made in breeding small,
common mares to the large draft
horse. Mr.. Judd stated that it had
been demonstrated many times that
the first cross between 1000 pound
mare and 1000 pound horse would
be a horse weighing 1900 to l40C
pounds and worth $3.50 to 5000, while
the second cross would bring hors'
of l40O to 1900 ponds and whicl
would readily sell at from 5000 t
$3.50. Such colts as these are far NOR
profitable for the farmer to raise thar
the light weight colts that develol
into horses that sell for bat $15 Il
Sl25 and which do not have the spee'
and action for fine drivers nor tn
weight and strength to enable then
to pull heavy load.

1t has been repeatedly established
that spraying will reduce the loss
from Goblin moth to FIVE per cent or
less, and that San Jose scale and other
diseases are easily controlled. 1t is a
fixed fact that apple lands are worth
from 500 an acre and upwards and
that they will pay handsome returns
on that investment in addition to the
labor and expense of culture. All
these fortuitous conditions open up
possibilities in the apple field to which
there could be seqnel in advancing
lands and hustling industry Of which
we do not dream. If only they of
the over crowded East knew what
Oregon offers them in orcharding,
thousands of them would be quick to
accept the challenge and come to the
golden West. Portland Journal.

ILLINOIS VALLEY AS
A FRUIT DISTRICT
Has Favora bic Soil and Climate
and Many Orch ards Planted
But Pests Have Como.

j. b. Griffin, who with his wife
were in Grants Pass Monday making
holiday purchases. was caller at the
Office CT Charles Meserve. county fruit
inspector. Mr. Griffin is one of the
progressive farmers of Illinois VAL
ley, having a dairy and fruit farm on
Sucker creek near Holland, and he
and Mrs. Griffin we're in attendance
at the farmers institute held at Kerby
Saturday.
For the present Mr.. Griffin is Civ
ing the greater part Of his attention
to dairying, bu. he expects to take up
fruit raising more extensively here
after. He now has fine young Or
chard of 500 trees, Of apples. pear.
peach and cherry, though the larger
number are Spitzenbere and Newton
apples. His orchard Is coming into
bearing and so prolific are the trees
and the fruits OF such fine color and
size that it proves that fruit raising
can be made as profitable An industry
for his farm az is dairying. SO soon
as he can get more land cleared he
will plant large orchard. Mr.. Griffin
stated thai many of the farmers Of
Illinois Valley we're planting Or
chards with the expectation that by
the time the trees were In full bear
ing railroad would be built into the
Valley. SO far the fruit trees Of ths
Valley are quite free of pests but
few old orchards are badly infected
with scale and other diseases and 1t
was to have the law enforced to have
the orchards cleaned up was the occa-
sion Of Mr.. Griffins's call at the
county fruit inspectors office. In-
spector Meserve will make trip
through the Illinois Valley in January
and he will inspect all orchards and
the owners of diseased trees will be
made to free them Of pests or out
them down.

CROP OF THE

The apple crop of the United
States this season is 3e, ,000 900 barrels
against 25, 600, 900 last year and trifie
lover 40, 900, 900 each of the two years
before. The immensity of the figures
a'hows that Oregon, with all her
kadapted soils in bearing, would
<not, great as would be the aggregate,
have appreciabls effect in the way of
over-production. In any event, were
the worlds apple stocks over
abundant the Oregon apples will
sell, and they will go at the best
price, for they are sought by those
xsble to pay fancy figures. They have
found the way to the tables of the
New York and the London rich
and the question of the cost does not
.Ifgure. Hood River apples at So a
box and more this season. with Rogue
River apples selling almost equally
well, afford proof that the world

is going to have them regardless Of

Illinois Valley is large section Of

center of the Valley flows tie Illinois

tiers were largely from Illinois. which
with network of creeks and small
streams makes it well watered Sec
tion. Along each of the streams is
fiue land easily irrigated that produces
three to four crops of alfalfa. AT the
suggestion of DR.. Withycombe vetch
was given trial. the first being sown
two years ago. Now it is said every
farmer has field of vetch sown this
Fall. AS the vetch can be grown on
land too dry for alfalfa its cultivation
will more than double the feed sup
ply of the Valley for cattle and
horses. In feeding value it is the
richest in proetin of any forage plant,
it having 2 to 4 per cent more proetin
than alfalfa. Under DR.. Witty
combe's direction q specie of vetch is
being developed at the Oregon Ag-
ricultural College experiment station
that averages 20 per cent proetin and
individual plants have been found to
contain as high as "a per cent of the

CLARK MAY BUILD

In Timber and Other
Resources.
A press dispatch from Washington,

a press dispatch from Washington,
under date of December I. saws !:
"Colonel Hofer, representing the
willamette valley interests, Peter
zLoggie OF Coos bay and Senator Full
ton OF Oregon have had an extended
conference with Sentor W. A. Clark
OF Montana, whom the Oregon men
wish to have extended his railway
system into Oregon.
IA branch of Clark's Utah and Ne
vada system of railroads is now COM
pleted to within comparatively short
distance of Goldfeld, Nevada, and it
was represented to Clark that this
branch could be extended into Oregon
to reach Klamath Falls and the
center of the proposed Klamath irri.
CATION district by a practicable route
OF about 100 miles in length, and an
additional 100 miles of construction
would take the road to Coos bay.
The Oregon men showed Senator
Clark maps and furnished him with
statements of the products of the
country which the desired extensions
&N.ld reach and which the senator
said were surprising and gratifying.
He was particularly interested in
statistics Of the timber resources of
the region proposed to be tapped by
the extension, the demand for this
product in Nevada mines being at the
present time enormous.
, Senator CLARK promised he would
have experts examine the country and
the routes suggested, and received an
urgent invitation to visit Ore gon per-
sonally to look into the situation.
Clark was interested in the route
from Yaquina bay TO the Mount
Jefferson country through Santiam
pass. operated by the Hammond rail
way line, which is now for sale, and
asked many questions concerning it. :"

OREG0NS WEALTH
IN STANDING TIMBER
California Paper Gives Some In
teresting Facts About the
Industry.

The State of Oregon has approx
mately 800, 600, OOO 600 feet board meas
ure, of standing timber, according to
the average of the estimates made by
different timber men aud experts who
have made the matter a thorough
study. This is much greater
amount than is possessed by any other
State In the Union, and is nearly one
sixth of the total amount of standing
merchantable timber Of the United
States. The value of this immense
body OF timber is two-fold Fisrt, as
source Of lumber supply secoud, as
factor in the maintenance of per-
petusl fow Of water in the streams
and rivers of the State, by retarding
the melting of the snow and holding a
continuous supply of moisture in the
ground during the Summer months.
I Other minor uses of forests are as a
fuel supply, and as a source Of orna-
mental trees and shrubs, and in the
production of medicinal and edible
products useful to mankind. Com
mercially, the value Of the standing
timber of Oregon when manufactured
into lumber and sold at the rate Of
Si2 per thousand board feet would be
80, 900. 00J, 900, sum in excess Of the
total amount Of money in currency in
the United States at the present day.
The most densely timbered area in the
State is west Of the Cascade Range.
This is due to more humid conditions.
favorable TO rapid and abundant de-
velopment of plant life. Thus we
find that slightly per cent Of the total
stand Of timber is found on an area
which is 30 per cent Of the total area
OF the State. The average stand OF
timber on the forested area west Of
the Cascade Range is II, 700 feet pei

80, 600 feet per acre are common. as il

Evangelists Honeywell and Bilhorn
left for Chicago on the southbound
train Tuesday evening after spending
a month in evangelistic work in this
place. They labored almost to the
very moment Of departure and left
the meeting to go directly to the de-
pot. A large proportion of the con-
gregation assembled at the depot to
bid them farewell. 1t had been an
nounced that the Sunday evening
meeting would be the last of the series
but the evangelists, at the last mo-
ment consented to remain two more
days, being impelled to this decision
both by the urgently expressed wishes
Of the people and by the condition Of
the work at that time.
The S Sunday evening meeting will
long be remembered in Grants Pass.
The tabernacle was packed to the
doors with people and many were
compelled to turn away. The sermon
by Mr.. Honeywell was mastery,
strong and remarkably impressive and
when the invitation was given it was
responded to with readiness which
has never before been seen in Grants
Pass. About 100 persons came for
ward, including people from all walks
of life m any of them being prominent
business and professional men. The
Monday and Tuesday evening meetings
were also very successful Alto.
